Wangyue Lake and Green Pond Mountain are tens of thousands of miles apart. Even if a Qi Cultivator were to fly day and night without stopping, it would take two days and two nights, and that's without considering the time needed for meditation and adjusting one's qi. A single trip would take six or seven days, so a round trip amounts to half a month.
Moreover, the territory of the Green Pond Sect was not very peaceful, with many large mountains requiring detours. The family letter from Li Yuanjiao had been entrusted to the Yuan Family for delivery, and by the time a reply was received, more than a month had passed.
The Yuan Family held the Li Family in high regard. With Yuan Huyuan in closed-door cultivation, the one who brought over the letter was his eldest son. He respectfully delivered the letter, exchanged a few pleasantries with appropriate composure, and then said his goodbyes with a bow.
