#202 - What do you say the content of the letter is?
Inside the alchemy room.
Chu Meng looked at the envelope, picked it up, and tried to see through the cover by holding it up to the light.
She looked left and right, but couldn't figure anything out.
"When was the last time they sent a letter?" Chu Meng asked.
"Six years ago," Chunyu replied.
Chu Meng stared at the envelope and casually said, "What did they say in their letter six years ago?"

"They told Miss to take care of herself," Chunyu said.
"Then why do you think they sent a letter this time?" Chu Meng asked, putting down the envelope.
Chunyu pondered for a moment and said, "It might be related to the talent that Miss has shown."
"Now that my talent is so good, do you think they will still tell me to take care of myself, or will they tell me to cultivate well and not go home?" Chu Meng asked.
Hearing this, Chunyu lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Chu Meng smiled lightly, then casually tossed the envelope into the stove.
"This letter was definitely not written by my parents, so there's no point in reading it."
Chunyu didn't say anything.
It was because they weren't strong enough.
It made Miss suffer grievances, and there was almost an accident last time.
Even though Lingzhu Peak searched so vigorously, it still had no effect.
Finally, Miss came back, but she has been secretly doing something.
Unlike before, when she was carefree and focused on alchemy.
"By the way, recently pay attention to those people above, and see if they have also received envelopes. Also, send a reply, saying directly that I didn't read the letter and burned it," Chu Meng said.
Chunyu didn't dare to ask more, but nodded in response, "Yes."
Law Enforcement Hall.
Dugu Jing sat in his seat reading a book, seemingly very absorbed in the contents.
"Senior Brother," a young man walked over.
Closing the book, Dugu Jing looked over with a smile, "Did you find out?"
"Yes, it's Elder Huang from the Outer Peak. He was the one who let the person in, and he also arranged the delay of the formation before we opened it.
Currently, he still thinks that we let him delay it, so there are no problems," the young man thought for a moment and said, "Should we arrest him?"
Dugu Jing didn't answer, but instead asked, "Was it easy to find out?"
"Easy."
"Anything else?"
"Not for now."
"Then leave him be. Now that we've opened a hole, most problems will come through him in the future."
The young man curiously asked, "Won't the interests of the Outer Peak be damaged?"
Dugu Jing smiled and said, "What's the benefit of arresting him?"
"We'd be getting rid of a traitor who harms the Outer Peak?" the young man asked hesitantly.
"And then what? Will people like this not appear in the future?"
"Of course there will be, someone will always do something."
"And then what? Do you know who the next one is?"
"We'd have to investigate."
Dugu Jing smiled and said, "If we know it's him, wouldn't that be convenient? Especially since he's so easy to find out, it's even more convenient."
The young man nodded, "That's true, but what if it's not easy to find out later?"
"If we're careful, we'll pull him out. We always have to work hard to make it easier next time," Dugu Jing said.
The young man nodded, then he curiously asked, "That Gu An is also at the Outer Peak. He went on a killing spree in the Outer Sect, then a killing spree in the Inner Sect. Will he go on a killing spree in the Outer Peak this time?"
Dugu Jing smiled and said, "Who knows? He's not someone we pay special attention to. Every time he kills someone, people start fighting.
Don't pay too much attention to him, just do what we're supposed to do."
"The Blood Refining Sect's matter is almost over this time. After writing the report, we can relax for a while," the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu An left the sect, actually quite concerned.
In addition, he announced his itinerary in advance.
It was to see if anyone he knew would make a move.
Fortunately, the Ring of Fate didn't change much.
His current strength can only be said to be passable.
He has no problem facing a Golden Core cultivator, but if he encounters a strong opponent like Luo Yutong, he can only flee.
This time, the mission is to go directly to the Outer Sect of the Blood Refining Sect.
Such a location surprised Gu An a bit.
This mission is really difficult.
Just after a conflict, he's going to the other party's sect.
Isn't that the same as sending him to his death?
But he can't not go, the business still has to be done.
Gu An only hopes that he can return safely this time.
The three of them flew on their swords, which would take about three days.
The distance is not short.
This is still under Gu An's help.
However, on the road, Ruan Huan was still a little worried: "Senior Brother, is it really okay for us to go to the Blood Refining Sect like this?"
"Let's take a look first," Gu An replied.
In fact, he is the most dangerous.
Someone in the sect might make a move, and Luo Yutong might have accomplices outside the sect.
It can be said that danger may appear at any time.
What's fortunate at the moment is that he looks like he is in the early stage of Golden Core.
If someone makes a move, they won't send a Nascent Soul cultivator right away, right?
Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
If they really encounter an ambush, no matter what their cultivation level is, he'll go back first, and say that they were ambushed by the Blood Refining Sect and that the other party has no sincerity in dealing with the problem.
If they have sincerity, let them come to the Outer Peak.
Unfortunately, no one ambushed them along the way.
If he was alone, he would stay for two days and go back, then make some false accusations, and that would work too.
Unfortunately, he's bringing two fellow disciples with him.
Three days later, early in the morning.
Gu An successfully arrived at the Blood Refining Sect.
This was Gu An's first long trip.
Along the way, it was still that Junior Brother Shang Huo who led the way.
The Blood Refining Sect is also located in a mountain range, but it is not as magnificent as the Cangmu Sect.
But it can also be considered beautiful, especially since the spiritual energy is quite rich.
Although it's called the Blood Refining Sect, the mountain gate doesn't look like a demonic sect at all.
On the contrary, it can be said to be a paradise on earth.
Relatively speaking, the environment here is better than Cangmu Sect.
After all, Cangmu Sect is just trees and more trees.
It's not scenic enough.
Blood Refining Sect, Mountain Gate.
Gu An led the two people over.
But they were quickly stopped.
At this time, they were wearing sect clothes. Although Shang Huo had suggested wearing their own clothes to avoid conflict,
Especially if the Blood Refining Sect disciples saw them, they would definitely launch a surprise attack.
But Gu An rejected it.
What he wanted was for the people of the Blood Refining Sect to make a move.
So he could directly take people and escape back to the sect.
Pushing the responsibility away.
He could delay it for a month.
But unfortunately, they arrived smoothly all the way.
"Stop."
Gu An was stopped when he approached.
"Who are you?" The guard looked at Gu An and his companions warily.
"Your sect purchased something from our sect, and we're here to handle the after-sales service." As he spoke, Gu An took out the envelope: "You can ask your sect's Fellow Daoist Hu."
Taking the envelope, the guard looked at it.
Confirming that there were no problems, he said, "Wait."
But this wait was a bit long, fortunately, they waited for a middle-aged man.
"Team Leader Gu from Cangmu Sect?" The middle-aged man smiled as soon as he came out.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people coming and going around him paused.
It's not that everyone is familiar with Team Leader Gu.
But the words Cangmu Sect.
For a time, the people who looked over were carrying a hint of hostility.
Some people even wanted to take action.
Just now they felt that these clothes looked familiar, and sure enough, they were from Cangmu Sect.
Gu An smiled, not caring about these people, but enthusiastically said, "Steward Hu is joking, we agreed to have a drink tonight."
Have a drink?
In an instant, everyone looked at Steward Hu again.
Sect traitor?
Having a drink with Cangmu Sect?
Steward Hu, who had just come out, frowned.
Where did the drinking agreement come from?
But what's the use of refuting it when the other party has already said it?
He can only leave here first and then talk about it.
After that, Gu An entered the Outer Sect of the Blood Refining Sect, feeling like a sheep entering a tiger's den.
On the way, Gu An went straight to the point: "What's the problem?"
The other party didn't seem to want to delay either, but said, "Team Leader Gu, just follow me and you'll know."
Gu An followed him to the outermost foot of the mountain.
"Our wood is usually placed with the handyman disciples, and after it's split, it's sent to various places.
Normally, although Vajra Wood is hard to split, it can still be done, but this time, the Vajra Wood is impossible to split.
Even if it's split, it can't be burned.
This has caused us a lot of losses.
Some pill furnaces and spirit beasts that constantly need fire have almost all been affected.
The losses are heavy, and the higher-ups of the sect have started to pay attention.
This time, your sect must compensate us for our losses," Steward Hu said seriously.
Gu An only said to take a look first.
What the other party said was too exaggerated.
No matter what, there's wood here, and cutting down some can still replace it.
Besides, if wood doesn't work, other things can be substituted.
It's not that exaggerated.
It's just that the cost is a bit higher.
Saying it's so serious is naturally to ask for more compensation.
Hearing the other party say this, Gu An felt a little strange.
Vajra Wood is the cheapest wood in the sect, so how could there be a problem?
Passing by courtyard after courtyard, Gu An saw the Vajra Wood piled up in the distance.
Some people walked out of the surrounding courtyards, looking at Gu An and his group with some surprise.
But no one dared to approach or offend them.
The people brought by Elder Hu didn't look like ordinary people no matter how you looked at it.
Especially their conversation, which was on equal footing.
Gu An was also quite emotional, he had actually become a senior in the eyes of others.
These people were mostly disciples in the first or second level of Qi Refining.
Handymen are usually not strong.
I wonder how many levels of Qi Refining are required for the outer sect here.
Without thinking too much, Gu An came to the side of the Vajra Wood.
Shang Huoyu and Ruan Huan checked the Vajra Wood as soon as possible, but frowned after checking.
Soon they came over and said, "Senior Brother, I've checked, it's Vajra Wood."
Hearing this, Steward Hu frowned: "How is that possible? Don't believe me, burn it and see."
Saying that, he asked someone to take the split wood and burn it.
Gu An also let him do it.
Soon the wood burned, but then went out again,
So, Steward Hu threw the wood to Shang Huo: "You guys see if this is Vajra Wood."
After checking, they found that it was also Vajra Wood.
"Then is it possible that it's damp?" Ruan Huan asked.
"Do you think we're all fools?" Steward Hu said dissatisfied.
He felt that these people were just here to shirk responsibility.
"Don't worry, let me take a look," Gu An interrupted the other party.
Seeing this, Steward Hu calmed down.
Gu An came to the side of the Vajra Wood and checked it little by little.
Touching it, the feel was right, sensing it, there were no other problems.
After carefully sensing it, he knew the Vajra Wood very well.
Soon his brows furrowed slightly.
There was a strange aura in the tree trunk that directly made the Vajra Wood different.
It was very weak, even difficult to detect.
If his perception wasn't good, he really wouldn't have been able to detect it.
"How is it?" Steward Hu asked.
"There should be a problem during transportation," Gu An looked at Steward Hu and said:
"Did you encounter any delays during transportation?"
"Impossible," Steward Hu thought for a while, seemed to remember something, but still shook his head firmly: "These were all transported back in storage treasures, how could there be a problem?"
"How could there be no problem?" Gu An frowned: "Could it be that we didn't check it properly during the transaction?"
"It must be the reason," Hearing this, Steward Hu immediately said:
"You need to take full responsibility for this matter."
"Then can Steward Hu call the person who transported it? I'll ask him," Gu An asked.
"He was killed by your sect some time ago, so you can't see him," Steward Hu said unhappily.
Gu An:
"Dead men tell no tales, right?
But the problem with Vajra Wood is indeed not transportation, but the place of origin.
Something mixed into it, which made the Vajra Wood like this.
I don't know if there have been any sales during this time.
If the other party uses it to build buildings, it's okay, but burning it would be bad.
The reason for finding the other party's transporter is to see if the other party has any problems with transportation.
Sure enough, they encountered something.
Finding the other party's person is to make the other party feel guilty.
In this way, compensation can be easily negotiated.
Otherwise, if they insist that it is their own problem, then the other party will only ask for a sky-high price.
It is possible to compensate honestly, but people's greed must be guarded against.
Otherwise, how could it be said that you can only make money better if you have no conscience?
"Logically speaking, we have no responsibility, after all, there was nothing wrong when it was sold, so it is very likely that there was a problem with transportation, and your sect still has some responsibility," Gu An said.
"Team Leader Gu, stop saying these words, there is no problem with our transportation, this is all your problem.
And we also have huge losses, and you need to compensate for these," Steward Hu looked at Gu An seriously and said.
Gu An pondered for a moment and directly quoted a price: "We are already in a cooperative relationship, out of humanitarianism,
We can compensate half, after all, there was no such problem when it was sold."
"Only half?" Steward Hu said dissatisfied: "Too little, you also know that we are in a cooperative relationship, and your sect has killed so many of our people, and the transportation was also killed by you, it's not that we didn't find someone."
Gu An increased the price.
Finally, after much haggling.
Gu An made a final decision: "All the Vajra Wood will be compensated or replaced, this is our limit."
Steward Hu agreed.
Gu An also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was going to compensate everything, but he didn't expect to have to haggle like this.
Reaching his expectations, the other party was also quite satisfied.
Without the previous dissatisfaction, how could there be the current satisfaction?
Without haggling, the other party would feel that they had lost out.
Gu An sighed in his heart, this job was quite tiring, and he was definitely not an expert.
The other party was not a fool either, and was probably also aiming for full compensation.
That's why they wanted other compensation and shirked responsibility.
"Recycle the Vajra Wood," Gu An looked at Shang Huo and the others and said.
Although he felt that it was inappropriate to take it back like this, he still did as he was told.
"Recycle the split ones too, don't leave any of the scrapped ones behind," Gu An instructed.
They had to take them all away, in case it was known that there was a problem with the place of origin, the compensation would be more.
Steward Hu also asked people to help.
He also breathed a sigh of relief, at least the sect did not suffer any losses.
It was just that something happened during transportation, and if he investigated it deeply, it might really be their problem.
So he was very satisfied to reach this result.
Both sides felt that they had made a profit.
Afternoon.
All the Vajra Wood was recycled.
With that, Gu An planned to leave,
Steward Hu naturally also wanted to send Gu An off.
But just after taking a few steps, a young man suddenly came over with two people.
He blocked Gu An's path.
"People from the Cangmu Sect?" The young man at the head looked at Steward Hu, then looked at the Vajra Wood that had disappeared, and sneered at Gu An:
"I heard that the Cangmu Sect has won a great victory this time, and its strength is strong. Do you want to let your subordinates compete with my subordinates?
If you win, I'll reduce the compensation by 20%.
If you lose, you don't need to do anything, just say 'My skills are inferior to others', how about it?"
Gu An was quite surprised in his heart, a direct attack?
This is not dangerous.
What he feared was an ambush in the dark.
Things in the open are usually safer than things in the dark.
