Several months have passed since we parted. I wonder how you are doing now?

The delicate handwriting caught his eye, and Zu An couldn't help but smile slightly. Indeed, the handwriting reflected the person, as beautiful as Chu Yan.

The letter had a faint orchid fragrance, a unique scent emanating from Chu Chuyan. One could easily imagine her sitting at the table, smoothing the paper and writing carefully.

"...The weather has suddenly turned cold recently, and it has even started to snow in Mingyue City. Zhao has never seen snow before, and she is overjoyed. She runs to the snow every day to build snowmen, but her skills are really not very good, and the ones she builds are strangely shaped."

I was very curious about what she was building. At first, she was hesitant to tell me, but after I showed her what it meant to be an older sister like a mother, she finally gave in…”

Zu An smiled. Chu Chuyan is a little cunning too. She probably provoked that girl because she was bullied.

"She said she wanted to build a snowman in your likeness, but she just couldn't get it right... I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at that ugly snowman. I really wanted you to see it too."

"Because of practicing the Snowflake Divine Sword, my hands and feet used to be freezing cold every winter. But this year, with such heavy snow, my palms and soles are still warm. All of this is thanks to you..."

Throughout the entire text, not a single sentence or word of longing appeared in his mind, yet Zu'an could sense the other person's deep yearning.

Zu An thought that Chu Chuyan was aloof, so it was unlikely that she would say such cheesy love words.

However, as he read further, the smile on his face suddenly froze. The letter mentioned that after Chu Chuyan finished dealing with her family's affairs, she received a notice from her sect that something had happened and she was urgently summoned back. She was also very uneasy and lamented that she didn't know when they would meet again.

"Baiyujing?" Zu'an muttered the sect he had mentioned in his mind, then pulled over Chu Youzhao, who was playing with various toys nearby. "Your sister has a sect?"

"Of course, otherwise where do you think her Snowflake Divine Sword came from? Our Chu family's secret technique isn't the Snowflake Divine Sword." Chu Youzhao rolled her eyes.

Zu An realized that Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru were not using the Snowflake Divine Sword. Moreover, Chu Chuyan had taught him the Snowflake Divine Sword, and he clearly felt that this technique was exquisite and profound, and seemed to have extremely high growth potential. Now that he knew it was taught by another sect, his doubts were also answered.

"But these days, aren't there no sects left in the world, and most talented people have gone to the imperial court to become officials?" Zu An asked curiously. Based on his previous understanding of this world, cultivation level determined your official rank. Which sect's resources could compare to those of the imperial court? Naturally, no one would want to stay in a sect.

"That was only in the last few decades. Before our Emperor unified the world, the major sects on the continent were very prosperous," Chu Youzhao said. Although she was a bit playful, she was born into a prominent family and her knowledge and experience were beyond what ordinary people could match. "After the Emperor defeated the demon race and the heroes surrendered, the major sects closed their gates and went into seclusion. The people from the smaller sects didn't have such deep foundations and were quickly absorbed into the court to serve the country. Over time, ordinary people didn't even know that sects existed in the world."

Hearing the pride in her voice, Zu'an knew that this was something every citizen of the Great Zhou possessed. After all, the Great Zhou was founded on military might and its power was something everyone was very proud of.

"Then what's the deal with this Baiyujing?" Zu'an wanted to know the specific details about his wife's sect, the more detailed the better.

“I only know that Baiyujing is a branch of the Daoist sect, and a very influential one at that. As for the others, because Baiyujing is a recluse, the outside world knows very little about them. Although my sister was recognized for her talent and taken in as a disciple by people from Baiyujing when she was young, she was also strictly forbidden from revealing any information related to Baiyujing to the outside world, so we don’t know anything about them either,” Chu Youzhao replied while thinking.

"Taoist sect?" Zu An frowned. Although he had heard of this term in his previous life, the Taoist sect in this world was clearly different.

"Where there is a demonic sect, there must be a Taoist sect. The demonic sect pursues doing whatever one pleases, while the Taoist sect pursues the Way of Heaven and the transcendence of the self." Chu Youzhao had an expression of being surprised by something she had never seen before.

Zu An's expression was strange. Qiu Honglei seemed to be the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, and now Chu Chuyan was the successor of the Daoist sect. What if, like in those TV dramas from his previous life, the successors of both sides were to duel? He would be caught in the middle and it would be really difficult for him.

He was curious about why Bai Yujing wanted to bring Chu Chuyan back, but unfortunately Chu Youzhao knew nothing about it.

Chu Youzhao was getting annoyed by the questions: "Stop talking about that, play shuttlecock with me."

Zuan was exasperated and had no interest in playing shuttlecock. Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Right, is there something else you haven't given me?"

"What else is there?" Chu Youzhao's eyes darted away.

In the end, she couldn't resist his sharp gaze and took out another letter from her pocket: "Alright, alright, here you go."

Zu An chuckled. That's more like it. I knew that girl wouldn't be so heartless. How could she not write to me when she had the chance?

Unfolding the letter, the handwriting inside was crooked and messy, far less beautiful than her sister's:

"Third brother, if you dare to peek, I'll beat you up next time we meet!"

Upon seeing the first sentence, Zu'an smiled knowingly. The image of Chu Huanzhao holding a small leather whip was vividly portrayed, indicating that she was well aware of her sister's nature.

After threatening Chu Youzhao several times, they finally got to the point:

"Brother-in-law, is Beijing fun? I want to go to Beijing too, but my parents won't let me. I'm so angry."
