Hua Yan had tasked Hua Zhuo to investigate the Plum Blossom Seal, but Hua Zhuo hadn't sent her any updates yet; clearly, there were no findings so far.
She stood at the entrance for a while, pondering at length, then turned around and returned to her room, picked up a brush, and wrote a letter. She sent someone to deliver it to Su Qingmian and Su Qingfeng of the Su Family, arranging a meeting with the two at Jianghu Teahouse at the second quarter past noon.
Her letter was brief, just a thin piece of stationery.
Su Qingmian and Su Qingfeng had not slept all night, mulling over what to say in a message they were planning to pass to Hua Yan through the Hidden Sect. The two deliberated for a long time; they had only met Hua Yan twice and had visited the Hua Family for a brief tea. Their acquaintance with her was not deep. Given the current situation in the Northern Region and the plight of the Su Family, they were uncertain how to engage in a meaningful conversation with Hua Yan.
