Jiuyou Mountain was neither a dangerous place nor a particularly famous one. Beigong Yu chose it simply because he knew of such a location nearby.
What had just happened at the Dayand Commercial Firm served as a wake-up call, leading him to suspect that the upcoming auction would inevitably face disputes. Just to be safe, he immediately called for reinforcements. First, he sent a message to Old Drunkard, asking him to come and hold down the fort. Then, after a moment of thought, he sent another message to Su Dieyi, hoping she would come as well.
Of course, the second message was merely a whim, sent on a whim and with a try-your-luck mindset. Whether she would actually show up was anyone's guess.
