Actually, Sun Siwen initially wanted to take Lu Yuan with him to give a good recommendation to the newly appointed Prefect about his good friend.
But Lu Yuan had always been carefree and did not want to meet any superiors, nor did he want to show submission to others.
Secondly, he also worried about the possible reprisal from the Poison Sect, fearing that they might ambush him on the way to Fu City.
So, he chose to stay at home and let Sun Siwen go to Fu City alone.
Of course, he arranged for reliable guards to accompany Sun on the road.
Sun Siwen was away for quite some time. He thought it would take only three days for the round trip, but he did not expect that it would take a full seven days for him to return.
During this time, Lu Yuan began to suspect that something might have happened to his friend and had almost decided to set out to find him personally.
Fortunately, Sun Siwen returned in the end.
"Brother Lu, let me tell you."
