Over a dozen cultivators were seated on the boat. The one who called out to Zhao Lin was a sturdy, bright-eyed young man under the age of twenty. It was none other than the Body Cultivator from the Western Ox Continent he had met at the Dharma Assembly.
Zhao Lin recognized him at a glance and blurted out, "Wei Shi!"
Wei Shi's face lit up with pleasant surprise. "Brother Zhao, are you heading to Yinfeng Valley for a sect mission?"
Zhao Lin nodded with a smile. "That's right. You too, Younger Brother Wei?"
Although they had only interacted once and exchanged a few words, this chance encounter in an unfamiliar place felt different. There was a newfound sense of camaraderie between them.
At Zhao Lin's question, a look of shame crossed Wei Shi's face. He sighed. "Don't ask. I actually entered the Yinfeng Realm a few days ago."
