Despite thinking that way, Gu Yuan still made a note of it. This was intelligence from his own daughter, after all, and deserved to be taken seriously!
The letter was quite long. Aside from greetings and everyday chatter, more than half of it concerned Xun'er's "discoveries" during her time with the Xiao Clan. Gu Yuan did not believe a single word of that part. He would sooner believe that Hun Tiandi had successfully advanced to Dou Di, that the Xiao Clan, which had lost its Dou Di Bloodline and fallen into utter decline, then produced another Dou Di, and that after the two fought, the Xiao Clan's Dou Di killed Hun Tiandi and even brought several others along to become Dou Di as well.
Even so, Gu Yuan still intended to call a meeting with the other clan elders to discuss this intelligence, which Xiao Xun'er had most likely fabricated in a drunken, full-gallop frenzy.
As Gu Yuan saw it, neither the greetings at the beginning nor the intelligence in the middle was what Xiao Xun'er truly wanted to convey. What she really wanted to say was in the final section.
Something about Xiao Xuan having left a contingency somewhere, and how obtaining the Xiao Clan's key required helping the clan prosper until an outstanding member emerged and received Xiao Xuan's inheritance. Only then could they obtain the key.
The most ridiculous part was the claim that this inheritance was connected to the Misty Cloud Sect, which was another contingency Xiao Xuan had arranged. Supposedly, this was also why Yun Potian, a Dou Zun, had gone to that godforsaken corner of the Northwest Region to establish a sect...
Although he knew this was a little selfish scheme of his daughter's, Gu Yuan was willing to give it some credence.
