Having a single-character name was a rare occurrence in modern times, and almost non-existent among the newer generation.
Generally, those with single-character names were from an earlier time.
When there were fewer people, single-character names could still be differentiated. However, as the number of cultivators increased, the occurrence of identical names also rose, making it difficult to distinguish between individuals. Additionally, surnames gradually came into use to represent lineage and heritage.
Nowadays, the remaining single-character names are mostly from the older generation, like the prison master of the Land of Exile known to Shi Chun.
Among the older generation, single-character names had become even rarer and were no longer in line with the times.
Thus, Shi Chun was somewhat surprised and quickly asked, "Are there other people in this Forbidden Land?"
