"The Crown Prince of Dazhen is dead?"
"That's what Su Li said, and moreover, he ntioned that the Crown Prince of Dazhen made a public appearance a month ago and suddenly died. According to the investigation by the Shadow Departnt, the Crown Prince might have been dead for a while, even for over a year. The one who appeared previously was an impostor."
Wu Shuangge faithfully relayed Su Li's words.
For the monthly collection of filth buckets, Yu Ziqing dared not step outside, letting Wu Shuangge use the Escape Skill to sneak out, returning ho quietly on the sa day after collecting the accumulated filth and toxins in the filth buckets.
"There's another thing. The gatekeeper said that after we left last ti, soone sneaked into the clubhouse with a Magical Treasure mirror, looked at it for quite so ti, then crushed the Magical Treasure and sneaked away."
The gatekeeper captured a strand of lingering aura, kept it in his mouth waiting for our return, and there was also a bit of Magical Treasure powder left."
Wu Shuangge extended his hand, and a strand of aura that could dissipate at any ti was released.
Cece then quickly captured the strand of aura into the Despair Abyss to prevent it from dissipating.
He then took out a container and packed up the little bit of powder that Wu Shuangge brought back.
"The gatekeeper hungry ghost wasn't discovered, was he?"
"No, his power is too weak. The ghost qi lingering in the clubhouse is stronger than his own, and since he's clever enough, he wasn't discovered."
"Good, tell him if anyone cos, there's no need to resist, just staying alive and being able to send back news is enough. The sweet rain he deserves must not be skimped on; we can't let him work for nothing."
"I understand, Young Master."
Yu Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully he hadn't left the house; indeed, soone was watching in the shadows.
Soone wanted the Sealed Items unearthed, obviously wishing to see the Sealed Items revived.
Lei Yu had given him half of the items, and there were quite a few people present at the ti, and such matters were no secret and must have spread long ago.
People might even praise Lei Yu as being generous.
At any rate, Yu Ziqing had decided to stay put at ho for the ti being and resolve things later.
Let those lurking in the shadows dare to infiltrate Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land and see if the millions of hungry ghosts here are vegetarians.
If pushed too far, he would summon all the hungry ghosts from the Abyss as well.
If things blew up, it would be seen whether those boldly standing out in the open were more uncomfortable or those hidden in the sewers like filthy rats.
Yu Ziqing hadn't received a reply from Lei Yu, so he sent out two more letters and still no response after that. Yu Ziqing then knew there must be a problem on that side too.
Added to that, the news Wu Shuangge brought back this ti after collecting the filth bucket.
It confird soone was targeting him.
His letters must have been intercepted by soone.
The Jade Scroll of the Lei Clan was just rather unique; on a regular day, even if soone had the ability to intercept, they wouldn't dare.
Plus, the letters coming in and out of the Lei Clan every day were nurous; soone daring to intercept wouldn't dare to do so recklessly.
It was enough to just stake out earlier and intercept the letters coming from the Wilderness direction.
With that thought, Yu Ziqing sent a ssage to Uncle Fu.
Tell Uncle Fu to help out a little, using the channels of the Gu Family to send a ssage to Lei Yu.
If such a ssage could be intercepted, then the Lei Clan must have been infiltrated like a sieve.
Yu Ziqing wasn't worried at all. The other side, thinking he hadn't received the reply, might start to panic, perhaps getting agitated?
Would they grow impatient enough to rush out and then head to Dazhen?
Jinlan Mountain was currently very safe; those Sealed Items, even if there was an issue, wouldn't explode imdiately.
He also didn't believe that Lei Yu had betrayed him.
Then, it's others who should be worried.
...
Yu Ziqing's three letters were indeed intercepted by soone.
The first letter was alright, but the second letter began to show so urgency, urging Lei Yu to quickly request Ancestor Li to co over.
The third letter was sowhat indiscreet, disclosing the discovery of a few pages of the tal Book, possibly problematic, but he recently found it inconvenient to leave ho. If Ancestor Li found it inconvenient, they could send soone to take it.
"I've already taken a big risk, intercepting three of Qing Ziyu's letters and two of Young Master Yu's letters. It's bound to be known later, and there's a decent chance they'll dig out. Don't underestimate the Lei Clan; I won't interfere further."
"Stay calm." White Water Egg soothed him with a word, continuing, "It's evident that Qing Ziyu has noticed so problem and is taking it seriously. He will beco restless soon."
"He's already said to send soone to take it; won't you go to the Wilderness to fetch it?"
"Are you crazy, or am I crazy, to go to Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land?" White Water Egg's voice was full of astonishnt.
Even though he knew that if disguised well enough, and given that Qing Ziyu wanted to be rid of the problem and would not want to get involved, he might just hand it over directly.
But, he hadn't lost his mind yet; what if that letter was just bait, waiting for soone to enter the trap at Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land?
What if all of Qing Ziyu's anxiety was just an act?
Even with the possibility, he wouldn't possibly venture to Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land.
He only wanted to wait until Qing Ziyu could no longer hold back and would co out from there to Dazhen, then he might dare to do sothing.
Being recklessly bold and suicidal still had so distinction.
The two were silent for a mont, and White Water Egg shook his head.
