"The lack of response to the three letters should be enough, considering his frequency of sending them, he likely won't send any more. In the future, you don't need to manage this; better hide yourself well."
"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. Once could be overlooked, but if the Lei Clan notices you a second time, no matter how good your excuses are, you won't be able to bluff your way past the Faceless Man. The chief of the Faceless Man is lenient with his own people, but he is no fool."
The visitor dropped this remark and disappeared from sight.
White Water Egg nodded, agreeing that what the other person said made sense.
In fact, even now he still couldn't figure out how he was discovered by the Lei Clan the last time; they were even able to lock onto him before he appeared, making it impossible for him to vanish.
In theory, that shouldn't happen.
And he understood that he only had one chance to be discovered by the Lei Clan. A second time, and the chief of the Faceless Man would personally come to interrogate him.
White Water Egg slowly disappeared into the air.
In the future, he would likely never know that being found by that old man with the goat beard from the Lei Clan was inevitable. The same scenario, repeated ten times, would have the same result.
The Gu Family's business in Dazhen was substantial, so naturally, they had some interactions with the Lei Clan, with transactions occurring on a regular basis.
Passing a message, a small favor , was something Uncle Fu simply commanded, and his subordinates would take care of it.
Today, on the scheduled trading day, the Gu Family's caravan brought some resources rarely produced in Dazhen to the Lei Clan.
After completing the transaction and settling accounts, the leader of the Gu Family's caravan spoke to the Lei Clan's purchaser.
"A friend of Young Master Yu asked me to bring a message to Young Master Yu."
The Lei Clan member was slightly startled, glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention, then gestured with his hand to continue.
"Young Master Qing said that he has not received any letters from Young Master Yu for a long time and misses him greatly. He has sent out three letters but has not received any replies, so he asked someone to send his regards and inquire whether Young Master Yu might be exploring some new cave heaven blessed land."
The purchaser sensed something was wrong upon hearing this.
Young Master Qing, of course he knew who that was—Young Master Yu's good friend. The fertile land known as Ziyu Plain, thousands of miles in size, was a gift from Young Master Qing to those who could not survive, giving them a new homeland.
Even if someone here didn't recognize the name, the three characters of "Qing Ziyu" were definitely known.
How could it be that letters from Young Master Qing to Young Master Yu were unanswered for three times in a row?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the purchaser understood that the letters had been intercepted, and Young Master Yu had not seen them at all.
Trouble had arisen; intercepted messages were no trivial matter within the Lei Clan.
The purchaser calmly nodded to the person from the Gu Family, giving a knowing look.
"Rest assured, I will deliver the message personally."
As if it were a normal transaction, the purchaser found an excuse and hurried to the place where Lei Yu was recently studying.
Finding that Lei Yu was still holding those metal pages, unable to do anything or go out to have fun.
He could only find an excuse to continue studying those useless items as his teacher had assigned and consult the classics for things he did not understand.
Today, just like usual, Lei Yu was consulting the classics when his subordinate reported that the purchaser requested an audience. There was an issue with some of today's purchased items, and he was unable to decide on his own, wishing to report directly to Young Master Yu.
Lei Yu casually responded with permission for him to come in.
Upon seeing Lei Yu, the purchaser immediately said.
"Young Master Yu, some goods from the Gu Family of Dali arrived today, but as they were leaving, they mentioned that Young Master Qing asked them to deliver a message."
The purchaser repeated the message word for word.
Lei Yu's brow furrowed slightly as he pondered the meaning of the message, then looked at the purchaser.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Lei Chongliu, right?"
"Young Master Yu has remembered correctly, that is my name." The purchaser immediately beamed with a smile.
"Good, you've done well this time, I will remember your name."
The purchaser promptly excused himself with discretion.
He had achieved his goal. In the Lei Clan, the highest status was reserved for those who could withstand a beating from Ancestor Li, followed by those whose names were remembered.
It was the same for those below: Lei Yu's younger brothers and sisters, whom he was willing to teach and discipline, were considered important.
And for a manager like him to have his name remembered was already quite significant.
With a large family and prosperous business, Lei Yu may not even remember the names of many of his younger brothers and sisters.
Lei Yu thought about the message brought by Yu Ziqing and let out a snicker with a hint of mockery, whether it was self-deprecation or mockery of others.
No wonder he hadn't received a single reply to his letters; he had thought that Yu Ziqing might be preoccupied and too busy to deal with him.
A few months of solitary cultivation was normal for cultivators.
Lei Yu returned to Thunder Collection Mountain and looked at Lei Li, giving a self-mocking laugh.
"Ancestor Li, before, people borrowed the strength of my Lei Clan, and now someone dares to intercept my Lei Clan's Thunder Scroll. Ancestor Li, I think it's time to kill some people."
Lei Li abruptly opened his eyes.
After Lei Yu finished explaining the situation, Lei Li laughed softly.
"If it weren't for Qing Ziyu noticing the problem and finding a roundabout way to send you a message, would you have realized something was wrong?"
"To reply to Ancestor Li, I indeed didn't give it further thought. Brother Qing had previously mentioned that he would focus on cultivation after returning, and I didn't find it strange that there were no replies in a short period of time."
