Bai Yu Lou.
A successor of Fortune and Prosperity Sword Mountain.
Yet unlike the other successors, he was the eldest disciple under the founding Grandmaster!
By seniority, he could have inherited the authority of the second-generation sect leader and become the sect's second-generation Grandmaster.
Yet he regarded power and status lightly, always considering himself merely a successor.
Most strangely, he did not allow others to rank seniority with him either. Any successor of the sect could associate with him as an equal.
At first, the sages of Fortune and Prosperity Sword Mountain thought Bai Yu Lou was merely joking.
But after countless long years had passed, Bai Yu Lou had remained content to be a successor who found joy in the Dao despite poverty. Whoever dared treat him as an elder would surely receive a cold rebuke and be corrected.
Thus, by now, no one dared make an issue of seniority anymore.
But regardless, Bai Yu Lou was still the first-generation Eldest Senior Brother. Throughout the entire sect, everyone treated him with the utmost courtesy and did not dare show the slightest neglect.
That was precisely why everyone had been so astonished earlier when they saw Bai Yu Lou solemnly bow to Su Yi.
Likewise, when they learned that Bai Yu Lou held Su Yi in such high regard, all of them were utterly bewildered.
Was that Green Robe Man truly so formidable?
"Senior Brother, forgive our dullness, but where exactly does that man's greatness lie?"
Someone humbly sought guidance.
Bai Yu Lou said, "If someone saved you, would you think of thanking and repaying them?"
"Of course."
Everyone answered without a second thought.
Bai Yu Lou said, "But what if that person said saving others was simply following his heart, something he did in passing, and refused your repayment?"
