Three Senior Sister's Letter

Three months had passed since Lu Yang returned from the Five Elements Sect. On this day, the eldest senior sister received a letter that had traveled thousands of miles, and she was stunned for a moment.

She pondered for a moment in the cave abode, then sighed softly.

"It seems we'll have to send our junior brother on that trip."

At this moment, Lu Yang entered a crucial stage of his cultivation.

He opened his mouth wide, absorbing spiritual energy. Sweat beaded on his forehead, turning into mist that gathered above his head, resembling auspicious clouds.

"Phew, I've finally advanced from the seventh level of the Golden Core to the eighth level!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his senior sister standing in front of him, asking expressionlessly.

"When did the Golden Core stage become divided into seven and eight levels?"

Lu Yang promptly revealed the mastermind. "It was the fairy who said it. She said that the more detailed the cultivation levels are divided, the more motivated one will be in cultivation, and the more accomplished one will feel at every step!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you've already betrayed me, haven't you?" The Immortal Fairy ran out of Lu Yang's body in dissatisfaction. She was wearing a pink nightgown and had just woken up when she heard Lu Yang talking bad about her.

"How can this be called betrayal? It was just my senior sister asking a question, and I was answering truthfully."

"This is betrayal."

"This is not betrayal."

The eldest sister felt that if the two continued their discussion, they wouldn't be able to get anything done that day.

She took out a letter; the handwriting on the envelope was delicate and lovely, and it read, "To Senior Sister Yun Zhi."

"This is..."

"Your third senior sister, Gan Tian, sent a letter from the Demon Realm saying that she saw some things related to High Antiquity there and wants me to find a scholar familiar with High Antiquity to study them with her or help her answer her questions."

This is not an ordinary letter, but a Law Treasure, which comes in two versions, mother and child. The eldest sister has the mother version, and the third sister has the child version. The words written by the third sister on the letter will be simultaneously transmitted to the eldest sister.

"After much thought, I realized that you know the most about High Antiquity history. If you're not too busy lately, you could consider a trip to the Demon Realm."

Lu Yang thought about it. He had broken through to the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, but he was still far from the ninth level. It wasn't good to always stay in the sect to cultivate. He might as well go out and take a trip.

"Go."

Seeing Lu Yang agree so readily, the senior sister seemed to see a shadow of her master in Lu Yang.

She reminded you, "You might make new discoveries at the border between the Central Continent and the Demon Race Realm. You can ask your Third Junior Sister about it after you meet her."

The monk, dressed in grey silk, landed with his hands tucked into his sleeves, a faint smile on his face, his eyes so small they were almost invisible.

"Halt! Who goes there?"

The Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect disciple guarding the mountain gate raised his hand to stop the gray-robed cultivator from entering, watching him warily.

The monk in gray silk had anticipated this, and he pulled a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the two men.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I am Xu You, the head steward of the Meng family. I have come to visit my young master. Please do me the favor."

The disciple of the Ask Dao Sect opened the envelope. It was a letter of introduction from the Meng family, proving Xu You's identity. No one would dare to forge such a document.

It's always been the Meng family that deceives others, never others who impersonate the Meng family. This is because they don't want to stay in the Central Continent anymore.

"So it's Senior Xu. May I ask what business Senior Xu has with Junior Brother Meng?"

Everyone in the Ask Dao Sect knows that Meng Jingzhou is the eldest young master of the Meng family, but no one mentions it.

Xu You sighed, his smile vanishing. "What else could it be? It's just about persuading the young master to change his mind. His parents miss him and asked me to talk to him and get him to come home."

As he spoke, he took out two storage rings from his sleeve and slapped them into the hands of the two disciples of the Ask Dao Sect.

"It's freezing cold outside, and I'm sure it must be tough for you two to be guarding the mountain gate. I have some cheap trinkets in my storage ring, so please do me the favor and let me in."

The disciples of the Ask Dao Sect repeatedly said no.

"This is absolutely unacceptable! The sect's orders forbid accepting bribes, and anyone found doing so will be severely punished!"

"Take it, you two. This is a secret between you and me. If the three of us don't tell anyone, who else will?"

Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the two disciples of the Ask Dao Sect had no choice but to accept it.

"It's only natural for parents to want to see their son. Please come in, Senior Xu." The disciple of the Ask Dao Sect folded the letter, put it in an envelope, returned it to Xu You, and made way for him.

Upon entering the Ask Dao Sect, Xu You put away his worried and sighing expression and put on a kind smile again.

River Spirit poked its head out of the water and surfaced.

Xu You nodded and bowed to the River Spirit, waiting until the River Spirit returned to the water before continuing forward.

He had already found out that the young master was in his cave abode on Body Refinement Peak. The old horse was grazing at the entrance of the cave abode, so it was easy to find him.

He greeted Old Ma, who snorted in response, indicating that Meng Jingzhou was inside.

Xu You gently knocked on the stone door three times, waited quietly for thirty seconds, and seeing no response, knocked three more times.

Just as he was about to knock again, Meng Jingzhou impatiently pushed open the stone door. "Who is it? I'm not in seclusion. If you want to find me, just come in..."

He looked up and saw Xu You's face. Not expecting it to be him knocking on the door, he asked warily, "Butler Xu, what brings you here?"

"Young Master, can we go inside to talk? There are some things we can't say outside."

Meng Jingzhou had no choice but to invite Butler Xu inside.

Upon entering the cave abode, Steward Xu found a straw mat to sit on and explained his purpose, "Master noticed you haven't been back for two years and wants you to return. He says he misses you very much."

"Impossible."

Meng Jingzhou refused without even thinking. He had been so defiant when he ran away from home, and only two years had passed; how could he possibly go back?

"The master said he knows about the wrong things you did and has already forgiven you."

Meng Jingzhou looked at Xu You's smiling face with suspicion, trying to discern the truth from his words.

"Real?"

"Real."

Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed. "Did my father forgive me after he found out that I deliberately arranged for my father and my uncle to spend a fortune to compete for the title of courtesan in a brothel, and that the conflict escalated to the point where they awkwardly met behind the curtain?"

"I thought I had done everything perfectly, but I didn't expect my father to find out about what I did—that I beat up Minister Li's grandson, Minister Gong's youngest son, and even the young prince. And he forgave me?"

"My father wanted to take a concubine, and I told my mother about it. My maternal grandfather secretly beat my father up, and now my father has found out it was me who did it, and he's forgiven me?"

"Besides..."

Xu You grew increasingly alarmed as he listened. When he arrived, the master had only mentioned two or three things; the rest had been left unsaid.

He coughed twice and forced a smile, saying, "Young Master, you don't really need to rush home. Master has been busy with official duties lately and may not have time to see you. You can go back another day."

"I've come here primarily for another matter."

"What's up?"

Xu You said with a smile, his voice low and cold. "I heard you are very close to Lu Yang, Lu Tianjiao. The master said that this boy is exceptionally talented and will surely achieve great things in the future. Perhaps he can be used by my Meng family..."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
