The Strange Letter

After the tournament, Liu Zhihao and Ling decided to take a few days off to rest and recover. They rented a small room at an inn and spent their time relaxing and enjoying the local cuisine.

One morning, as they were eating breakfast, a strange letter was delivered to them. The letter was written in a language that Liu Zhihao didn't recognize, but Ling was able to read it.

"It's from an old friend of mine," Ling said as she read the letter. "He's a powerful cultivator who lives in a nearby town. He's inviting us to visit him and promising to answer any questions we have about your situation."

Liu Zhihao was skeptical. He had learned to trust Ling, but he was wary of anyone else who claimed to have information about his transmigration.

"Are you sure we can trust him?" he asked.

Ling nodded. "He's a good man. He saved my life once, and I owe him a debt of gratitude. Besides, he's the only lead we have right now."

Liu Zhihao considered her words for a moment, then nodded his agreement. They packed their bags and set out for the nearby town.

As they walked, Liu Zhihao couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He had been on edge ever since he realized that he was a villain in this world, and he didn't know who he could trust.

When they arrived at the town, they were greeted by their friend, who introduced himself as Master Li. He was a tall, imposing man with a long beard and piercing eyes.

Master Li welcomed them warmly and led them to his home, where he served them tea and listened patiently as they explained their situation.

"I understand your predicament," Master Li said after they finished speaking. "Transmigration is a rare occurrence, but it does happen from time to time. There are many legends and stories about people from other worlds appearing in ours."

Liu Zhihao leaned forward, eager to hear more.

"But why did I become a villain?" he asked.

Master Li stroked his beard thoughtfully. "That is a mystery, my friend. It could be that your actions in your previous life somehow affected your transmigration. Or it could be something else entirely."

Ling spoke up. "Do you have any information that could help us?"

Master Li nodded. "There is one thing that might be of use to you. There is a scholar who lives in the nearby mountains. He has spent his life studying the mysteries of the universe, and he may have some insights into your situation."

Liu Zhihao and Ling thanked Master Li for his help and set out for the mountains, their hearts filled with hope that they were getting closer to finding the answers they were seeking.
