While he was eating, he suddenly saw the figure of Yu Qiming hurrying in.

He walked briskly toward Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, there are visitors!”

“People from the Su family have come to visit you early in the morning.

They said they want to talk.”

Lu Chuan put down his utensils and stood up to look at Yu Qiming, asking, “Is it Su Jingqian or Su Jingkun who has come?”

“Neither.

It’s the steward from their family, also quite a respected elder.

Why don’t you go out and talk with him?”

Lu Chuan slightly shook his head, “Let’s not then.

If Su Jingqian had come, I would have been interested in talking.”

“Ah?

What should we do then?

Directly reject him and send him back?

That doesn’t seem appropriate.”

“What’s inappropriate about it?

Since Su Jingqian did not come himself, he obviously doesn’t regard me highly.”

Yu Qiming coughed awkwardly, “Young Master Lu, is it possible that it was inconvenient for Su Jingqian to come?

After all, considering our current enmity with the Ming family and the Su family’s high profile, their steward’s visit might lead to misunderstandings.”

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, “Fine, let the steward in.

I would like to see what the Su family has to say.”

“Alright, I’ll bring him over.”

Yu Qiming then turned and left.

Lu Chuan continued to sit and eat breakfast.

A few moments later, Yu Qiming returned, accompanied by an old man dressed in a plain white robe.

“Young Master Lu, this is the steward of the Su family.

He holds a significant position in the Su family and has some authority.”

The steward raised his hand and smiled, “Mr.

Yu, no need to jest about me.

I have no real authority.

I’m simply a messenger.”

“Young Master, Family Head Su Jingqian sent me to talk to you.”

He walked toward Lu Chuan and sat down in front of him.

“Tell me, what is it?”

“What else could it be about?

Of course, it’s about your conflict with the Ming family.”

“That’s right.”

The steward took a deep breath and began to speak earnestly, “Since you have been at odds with the Ming family, our Su family has been keeping an eye on you.”

“You might not know, the Ming family has used every possible means to deal with you, confident that you are no match for them.”

“But to be absolutely safe, they still used various methods.”

“We also received news that you indeed cleared some of these methods they used, like those mechanical traps.”

“However, what I want to talk about is not these!”

He leaned forward, covering his mouth a bit, and whispered, “The Su family has been monitoring the Ming family for you.

We see most of their movements.”

“This morning, we received a special piece of news.”

“Our people observed someone from the Ming family visiting Lu Manor!”

Lu Chuan’s brows furrowed, “Lu Manor?

Really?”

“Of course, but as you know, Lu Manor is of moderate standing within Cloud Sea City, never achieving a high status.

It only survives peacefully because it bears the Lu family’s name.”

“Still, the communication between them is something to be wary of because, you see, the Ming family has not gotten along well with Lu Manor.”

“Originally, when one of the Ming family’s young masters acted out in arrogance, he inadvertently offended someone from Lu Manor, so the two families have always had a somewhat strained relationship.”

“So you see, their recent closeness could only be because of you!”

The words of the elderly man before him plunged Lu Chuan into deep thought.

“Is the Ming family trying to win over Lu Manor to fight against me?”

The steward shook his head slightly, “I’m not sure about the details.

Our people only saw members of the Ming family entering Lu Manor, nothing beyond that.”

“I came here also to remind you to stay vigilant and be extra cautious.”

“Are you saying that the Su family is helping me?”

The steward chuckled, “You could say that.

After all, you are our benefactor, having saved Su Meeng.

You are a great benefactor to our family.”

“So, we do care a great deal about you.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “How is Su Changyue doing now?”

“He’s been in poor spirits, just spending time playing with Su Meeng.

No major issues.”

The steward stood up, preparing to leave, “I won’t disturb you further.

You have your own plans, just be careful.”

As he turned to go, Lu Chuan stopped him, “Wait, has the perpetrator been found?”

“The one who harmed Su Meeng?”

“That’s right.”

“Actually, we have some leads.”

Lu Chuan eagerly stood and asked, “Do you know who it was?”

“Not yet, we have some clues.”

The steward looked around, then walked up beside Lu Chuan, leaned in close, and whispered, “We’ve confirmed that the attacker is a demonic cultivator.

After summarizing everything, we know which sect of demonic cultivators we have offended.”

“Is that so?

Which one?”

“Blood Wail Sect!”

“Blood Wail Sect?

Nangong Qianying that old guy, indeed has close ties with that sect.

But where is Blood Wail Sect located?”

“There’s no fixed location.

Blood Wail Sect is an organization in the world of demonic cultivators.

They might have some fixed meeting places, but mostly, they are scattered throughout the Kunlun Domain.

The only way they recognize membership is through the Blood Wail Token, a token that bears their sect’s mark.”

“During Su Meeng’s continuous recollection, he vaguely saw that the attacker wore a token.

When the attacker leaned against the cage, the garment pressed against the token, vaguely outlining its shape.”

“And Su Meeng saw, in that instant, that the token bore the words ‘Blood Wail.'”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “It must not have been easy for Su Meeng to recall that.”

“Of course, he broke down several times.

Thankfully, his sister was there, and he recovered enough to continue recalling slowly.”

The steward sighed helplessly, “This child has had a hard life, it can’t be helped.”

“As for the reason we offended Blood Wail Sect, it’s probably related to someone we unintentionally offended during our family’s expansion of power.”

“In any case, Young Master Lu, if you encounter anyone from Blood Wail Sect in the city, please do not hesitate to kill that scoundrel.

Of course, capturing him alive would be best.”

Lu Chuan patted his chest solemnly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

“Good, then I won’t bother you any longer.

I’ll head back now.

If you need any help, come find our Su family.

We can only do our best.”

After speaking, the steward turned and left.
