Hao Yi often thought back to that afternoon more than thirty years ago.
He had agreed to meet a friend for drinks at a tavern.
At that time, that friend was not yet known as Master Yun Shen and had not taken monastic vows; he could still join him for drinking and feasting on meat.
Passing by a courtyard, he heard cries for help coming from inside.
It was the voice of a little girl.
Without much hesitation, he pushed open the door, entered the courtyard, and discovered the kidnapped children there.
It had been the doing of the Shen Family, one of the former five great families of Datong Prefecture.
So at that moment, the river of fate changed its course.
From then on, Datong Prefecture gained a strong figure who dared to expose all kinds of evil deeds, unafraid to struggle against any powerful figures!
Years later, Shangguan Xiao asked Hao Yi a question:
If he hadn't entered that courtyard that afternoon, would his subsequent path have been completely different?
