Lu Ran politely thanked the Thousand Boat Alliance members who came to see him off, and then expressed his desire to undergo secluded cultivation, asking them not to disturb him.
The group understood why Lu Ran was eager to return to the island and promptly took their leave.
Afterward, Lu Ran led his team back to a secluded courtyard deep in the jungle.
Unexpectedly, there were two men in black waiting silently within the courtyard, which startled Lu Ran. He asked in surprise, "And you are?"
"Master Lu!"
"Master Lu," the two immediately paid respects and replied, "City Lord He sent us here to follow your orders."
Lu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.
