At your words, Liu Sui froze for a moment.
You continued, "My eldest uncle has no children of his own. If he treats Gu Rui as a son, wouldn't my second brother also have an Eighth Tier demon king behind him?"
"And behind my eldest brother, I imagine, stands my other uncle."
"If even I can guess that something may happen at the Jianmu Assembly, how could those Eighth Tier demon kings sense nothing?"
You smiled and sighed. "Azure Sea Lake, indeed. Its waters never stay calm."
Liu Sui could not help asking, "Will you still go see your eldest uncle?"
You nodded. "Of course!"
Liu Sui smiled. "The young mistress and Gu Jingming are both at the Jianmu Assembly, but that doesn't mean Little Xing has no other backers."
You looked up at her. "Sister Sui, you mean Blazing Sun Mountain? Isn't Azure Sea Lake chaotic enough already?"
After a pause, you amended your words. "Then again, you're right—I could ask Grandfather to come here and set things straight."
"After all, I am the rightful heir of Azure Sea Lake."
"But things are nowhere near that point. Nothing has happened at the Jianmu Assembly yet, so Father remains the true master of Azure Sea Lake."
You had another consideration in mind: if Azure Sea Lake truly reached that point, Blazing Sun Mountain would certainly lend a hand.
Though Blazing Sun Mountain's Dao Tradition and Azure Sea Lake's were as incompatible as fire and water, water and fire could nourish each other, strengthening Blazing Sun Mountain's tradition.
That was the nature of the struggle for Fruit Status. The Five Virtues Fruit Statuses even had a method of assigning Moistened Status.
You summoned Gu Hui and asked her to draft a letter requesting a visit to the Longze Marquis Residence.
