...
As Xu Yang approached his courtyard, he saw a man standing at the entrance with his hands clasped, as if waiting for someone inside.
Seeing him appear, the man smiled and cupped his fist. "Might you be Junior Brother Xu Yang?"
Xu Yang nodded, confused. "I am indeed Xu Yang. And you are, Senior Brother?"
He didn't recognize the man and had assumed he was waiting for someone else in the courtyard. He hadn't expected the man to be waiting for him.
But as soon as the man spoke, Xu Yang immediately recognized the Qingyuan County accent. This person must also be from Qingyuan County.
The man smiled. "My name is He Jingting. Like you, Junior Brother Xu, I am also from Qingyuan County. I've come today to invite you, Brother Xu, to join the Qingyuan Association."
'The Qingyuan Association?'
There were over a dozen organizations of various sizes in the Outer Sect, and many had tried to recruit him, but he had never heard of the Qingyuan Association.
