This letter carried an extremely powerful restriction placed upon it.
Only Chu Feng's aura could unseal it. If anyone else attempted to open it, the letter would destroy itself.
The person who had placed the restriction on this letter did not entirely trust even the President of the Martial Artists' Commerce.
Chu Feng accepted the letter and used his aura to unseal it. Once the restriction dissolved, two wisps of aura surged into Chu Feng's palm.
These two wisps of aura were very familiar — they belonged to Immortal Sea Shao Yu and Little Fish.
Sensing those two wisps of aura, the anxiety weighing on Chu Feng's heart eased considerably.
He opened the letter, and upon reading those few lines, his heart settled even further.
"Brother Chu Feng, my family and I are all safe and sound. Do not worry. Take care of yourself — make sure you take care."
This was what Immortal Sea Shao Yu had left for Chu Feng.
And the aura that had entered Chu Feng's body was likewise conveying to him that the siblings were unharmed.
"Senior, who delivered this letter to you?" Chu Feng asked.
"An elder of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan brought it."
"He had sustained some injuries at the time. While they were not life-threatening, they were certainly not minor."
"As for when — it was after the incident with the Immortal Sea Fish Clan."
"The Immortal Sea Fish Clan has truly suffered devastating losses this time. It may well have shaken their very foundations."
"As for what I told you — I imagine you've already heard about it," the President of the Martial Artists' Commerce said.
"Mm. Apart from this letter, did that elder say anything else?" Chu Feng asked.
"Nothing at all."
"Honestly, I'd like to know too — who exactly attacked the Immortal Sea Fish Clan."
"But the elder said it would do me no good to know, all secretive about it."
"And to think, even the letter was sealed so that only you could open it — as though she were terrified I'd leak the information."
The President of the Martial Artists' Commerce sounded somewhat aggrieved.
She considered herself to have a decent relationship with the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.
Yet now, when the clan had suffered such a catastrophe, they would not share even a shred of information with her.
They refused to reveal who had been responsible, and she felt she had been treated as an outsider.
"Chu Feng, what does the letter say?" The President of the Martial Artists' Commerce looked at Chu Feng with curiosity.
With her level of cultivation, she could have simply sensed the contents with her spiritual awareness — she didn't need to read it with her eyes.
But she did not do so.
Though her words carried a note of complaint, her actions still showed respect for both the Immortal Sea Fish Clan's wishes and Chu Feng's.
If Chu Feng chose to tell her, that would be best. If not, she truly did not mind.
"It's just a message saying they're safe." Chu Feng did not hide anything, and he handed the letter to the President of the Martial Artists' Commerce.
Chu Feng felt that the content of the letter was not what mattered most. What mattered were those two wisps of aura. They were enough to confirm that Immortal Sea Shao Yu and Little Fish were, at the very least, alive and their life signs were stable.
The President of the Martial Artists' Commerce glanced at it, then handed the letter back to Chu Feng. "Well, as long as they're all right, that's what matters."
She did not truly hold it against the Immortal Sea Fish Clan for their lack of trust. Given their relationship, she naturally cared most about the clan's safety.
In fact, the moment she had learned of the attack on the Immortal Sea Fish Clan, she had rushed to one of their branch locations.
That scene had made it clear the clan must have suffered grievous losses.
But so long as their peak fighters and promising juniors still lived, there would be hope for the clan to rebuild.
Chu Feng put the letter away.
When it came to the Immortal Sea Fish Clan, his greatest concern had been Immortal Sea Shao Yu and Little Fish.
As long as the two of them were safe, Chu Feng could rest much easier.
He would not dig too deeply into this matter.
After all, his abilities were, truthfully, quite limited.
"Chu Feng, since they're all right, then for now, don't get too involved in the Immortal Sea Fish Clan's affairs."
"We may not know who was responsible, but the kind of enemy you'd be facing now is far beyond what you can handle."
"I imagine your friends know your temperament well, which is why they specifically sent word to you — so you would take care of yourself."
"Of course, it's also possible they want to handle it themselves. After all, this is their grudge to settle," the President of the Martial Artists' Commerce said.
