Chapter 37: The Meal Prepared for You

Yellow Character Number Five.

Lin Bai arrived at the door, looked around for a bit, then calmly pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside was a small quadrangle courtyard featuring a ten-thousand-year-old epiphyllum. Its massive tree crown sheltered the courtyard from sunlight, bringing a touch of coolness.

Underneath the enormous tree, there was a black-faced, good-natured young man squatting and doing laundry.

Upon seeing Lin Bai enter, the young man greeted him excitedly, "Hi, you must be the new disciple! I'm Zhao Tiedan."

Zhao Tiedan might have appeared somewhat dull and obtuse, but his honest and innocent smile made Lin Bai feel rather comfortable.

"I am Lin Bai. Tiedan, who gave you your name? Was choosing a name this carefree?" Lin Bai asked with a laugh.

"Haha, my dad said when I was born, our family was in a famine, and people were dropping dead everywhere. So he named me Tiedan (Iron Egg), hoping that a worthless name would lead to a prosperous life."
