Lin Yu felt that this was simply the biggest joke heaven had ever played on him. He looked at his father with all seriousness and said, "Father, haven't you always been curious about where I got such a large fortune from?"

Lin Yu's father was an elderly man who appeared to be over fifty, though his actual age was even greater. Having been blessed with a son in his later years, he doted on this child immensely. Lin Yu lived up to expectations, not only avoiding being spoiled by the affection but also proved to be outstanding among his peers. This always brought comfort and pride to his father.

"When the Daoist Sect was destroyed, not only did I avoid the misfortune that befell others, but I also gained a staggering fortune, one that can even support my cultivation until the ascension period... Father, haven't you always been curious about this matter?" Lin Yu had an even greater secret in his heart, which was the thin booklet given to him by Brother Chu!

That thing... was the greatest treasure he possessed!

But it was a gift from Brother Chu, and he must not betray Brother Chu's kindness. He was resolved to never reveal this secret!

Father Lin, seeing the serious expression on Lin Yu's face, couldn't help but laugh, "Could it be related to this?"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "The benefactor I met in the Daoist Sect was named Chu Xiaohei. Of course, that's Brother Chu's alias. How could someone as breathtakingly talented as he be named something like that?"

Father Lin's eyebrows rose slightly and he said, "Well, that may not be so. There was once a prodigy in the Immortal Realm, whose name was actually Liu Goudan."

"Father, you are just being argumentative," Lin Yu frowned as he responded, "I have evidence!" He continued, "I had been captured by Fu Feng of the Fu Family before. He said that Brother Chu had thwarted his grand plans. Oh right, this Fu Feng was one of the Seventy-two Great Abilities of the former Daoist Sect. However, a beautiful woman then appeared who seemed to know Brother Chu. This woman was also particularly familiar with Fu Feng. After talking to Fu Feng, he let me go."

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked up at his father, "So, the person from the Fu Family they're pursuing, named Chu Mo... must be Brother Chu! Although I don't understand why things have turned out this way, Father... we cannot get involved in it!"

Upon hearing this, Father Lin also began to understand and sighed, "Child, it's too late! It's already too late to refuse now."

"We can offer help without really helping," Lin Yu was no fool and naturally understood that an entity as colossal as the Fu Family was impossible to defy unless he had never responded to that transmitting stone in the first place. But now that he had, it was impossible to pretend ignorance as if the matter had never happened.

If they did that, the Lin Clan, however insignificant, could be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

With another sigh, Father Lin said, "At this point, we can only do as you said, provide help without truly assisting."

"Father, thank you!" A touch of emotion flickered in Lin Yu's eyes.

He was well aware of what his father's decision meant; it was almost like giving up on returning to the Fu Family in the future. For a small family like theirs, forming even the slightest connection with an entity as massive as the Fu Family was a stroke of immense good fortune! Yet, for his sake, his father was forgoing that opportunity.

Father Lin looked at Lin Yu and smiled gently, "You are my son, and from your words, I can feel the influence that man has had on you. It's not him I trust; it is you I trust!"

"Father!" Lin Yu's eyes rimmed with redness.

"Alright, since it's settled, you can feign going out to gather information, and if you really meet your friend, you might even give him a warning..." Father Lin said.

"I understand, Father!" Lin Yu nodded.

In the southern region of the Immortal Realm, at least tens of thousands of people, just like the Du Family and the Lin Clan, had their peaceful lives disrupted by the sudden activation of transmitting stones. Yet for the vast majority... such disruptions were welcomed with joy.

They could never have imagined that their ancestors were actually from the Fu Family! Now they had the opportunity to return to the Fu Family! To them, this opportunity was simply a gift from heaven. They couldn't miss it for the world!

...…

On Chu Mo's message board, a message sent by Si Tutu arrived.

"The Fu Family's intelligence department has fully mobilized… They are trying to find your whereabouts. Be careful, Fu Feng says the Fu Family's intelligence organization is quite powerful!"

With just this sentence, and to avoid suspicion, Si Tutu didn't even inquire about the current whereabouts of Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu. Because this… was just too sensitive! She was afraid Chu Mo would misunderstand.

Then, Chu Mo replied to Si Tutu with three words: Understood.

Fu Feng, who was with Si Tutu, frowned and said, "That woman in black is seriously injured; they definitely can't have gone far, it's very likely they are hiding in an old forest to heal. But if this continues… they will be found sooner or later. This time, the Fu Family's actions haven't escaped the notice of some concerned parties, many cultivators from the Seventy-two Great Abilities of the Daoist Sects... have already contacted me, and they are also taking action!"

Si Tutu scoffed, "Relying on those trash? They think they can catch Chu Mo?"

Fu Feng gave a wry smile and then said, "You can't say that; although those people aren't very strong in their abilities, when they come together, they are still a formidable force. And if they spread this incident further... it will be even worse!"

Unable to help herself, Si Tutu rolled her eyes, glanced at the message board in her hands, and muttered, "The upgrade of the message board's functionality… really came at an inconvenient time! There's almost no information about this matter on the message board right now, but in private... it's hard to say how many people are paying attention."

Fu Feng nodded, "So, right now, all we can do is hope that Young Master Chu over there... can hold out a bit longer."

Si Tutu nodded her head with a serious expression.

...…

When Du Song heard this message, his hands trembled slightly. He looked at the innkeeper with a serious face and asked, "Are you saying that a while ago… a man and a woman really checked into your inn? They rented a courtyard all to themselves and never left it?"

The innkeeper nodded earnestly and said, "Lord Du, would I dare to lie to you? Truly, that man and woman were no ordinary people; they didn't seem like someone Distant View City would have!"

"Good, good brother, your information is very important! Remember my words, if this matter succeeds... your future will surely be full of benefits!" Du Song earnestly promised.

The innkeeper nodded joyfully, "When Lord Du speaks, I believe him wholeheartedly!"

Du Song's eyes gleamed. He said, "In that case, find me a set of waiter's clothes. I'll bring them something and see with my own eyes... what those two look like!"

"Alright, but please be very careful." The innkeeper casually found a set of clothes for Du Song.

After Du Song changed, he contained his own aura and put on a humble smile. He gave the innkeeper a bow, "Boss… what do you think?"
