The letter was from Gao Yuan, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Liuhe Sect.
Zhao Lin's heart jolted. 'Why would Eldest Senior Brother write to me?'
With Master Zhu Huaishan around, Gao Yuan shouldn't have contacted him privately. Not unless it was something so serious that it had to be kept even from their master.
Besides, he had just received a letter from his master a few days ago, and now this one had arrived right on its heels.
No matter how he looked at it, the situation felt deeply unusual.
Zhao Lin clutched the letter, his knuckles turning white. For some reason, he felt a strange reluctance to open it.
"Was the letter delivered to the right person?" the servant asked, seeing Zhao Lin staring blankly.
"No, it's for me. Thank you for your trouble."
Zhao Lin offered a smile and dismissed the servant. He turned, walked into the courtyard, and sat down on the steps before slowly unfolding the letter.
