Xu Zhi felt a chill run down her spine. She grabbed Xu Di's hand, shook her head, and said, "Brother, you shouldn't have taken such a risk. Really, there are some things you don't need to do. Since he was able to plan for so long and even stand up to the imperial court, it shows that he has enormous power."

Xu Di patted Xu Zhi's hand, smiled, and said, "Good sister, when have you ever seen your brother act recklessly? I won't act unless I'm absolutely sure. I'm not alone; I have a whole family standing behind me."

Xu Zhi felt a little relieved. Xu Di continued, "That scholar's knowledge is limited. Moreover, he said that he was adopted as a child and then taught to read and learn skills. There are quite a few people like him who travel in Daliang."

Xu Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "My God! Who is so capable? When did they start planning this? Over the years, how many people must they have trained?"

Xu Di thought of the things he had already found out and said, "The fox will eventually show its tail. In this world, everything that is done or done will leave a trace. By following these traces, you can always find the person. Xiao Jiu, I'm telling you this today for no other reason than to remind you to be more careful in the future. Many times, a seemingly insignificant person or a small matter can become the key to failure. Success or failure often depends on details."

Xu Zhi nodded and said seriously, "Brother, I've written it all down. You have to be careful too. You're still holding two people in your hands. If they follow the trail to your place, you'll be in danger."

Xu Di smiled gently and said, "Those two were caught at sea. The weather at sea can change in an instant. Maybe they thought those two had already perished at sea? Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Di instructed, "You should rest now. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning. I've already sent people to make arrangements. Don't rush on the road; just take your time."
