After putting away Cui Qiao's communication jade slip, Song Wen felt that relying on her alone to keep watch on Yu Bi was not secure enough.
He had to confirm whether Yu Bi had truly taken the bait, and whether he would go to Ten-Thousand Silence Ridge.
As he pondered this, he took out Mo You's and Qiluo's communication jade slips and sent them two nearly identical messages in succession.
[Qiluo (young friend Mo You), sorry for the trouble, but please look into something for me. Has Yu Bi, an inner sect elder of your sect, made any plans to go out recently?]
For some unknown reason, Qiluo did not reply to Song Wen.
Mo You, on the other hand, soon sent a response.
[Senior Xing Chang, you've been gone for over eighty years. I thought I would never have the chance to meet you again in this lifetime.] Mo You's tone carried the delight of reuniting with an old friend.
[I only returned to Blood Radiance City a little over a month ago myself,] Song Wen casually fabricated.
[Wonderful! Senior, do you have any free time? Why don't I treat you to some entertainment at Shuyu Pavilion, as a welcome feast to wash away the dust of your travels?] Mo You said.
Shuyu Pavilion was one of Blood Radiance City's most renowned pleasure houses.
Back then, it was there that Madam Jade Bone had offered Mo You to Rong Luan. He had been forced to spend half a month coupling with Rong Luan, serving as a cultivation furnace from which she harvested yang to replenish her yin.
[Thank you for your hospitality, young friend, but I have other important matters to attend to and cannot afford any distractions. Please keep my request in mind and do your best,] Song
