The day to return home arrived quickly.

Cat was in a great mood today. As soon as she boarded the plane, she excitedly looked for her seat. First class was easy to find, of course.

Moreover, she spotted Mu Jin sitting there immediately!

He wore a pure black eye mask, which made his pale face even more striking, and gave him an air of cold indifference. He leaned back in his chair, his head slightly tilted, as if he were catching up on sleep.

Ye Mingshi was sitting next to him.

The cat smiled and bent down to look at Ye Ming.

Ye Mingshi smiled at her and whispered, "Kitty, you're here. Let me help you find a seat."

He glanced at the cat's plane ticket, then pointed to the seat in front of him, "Right in front of me!"

The cat said, "Ye Mingshi, let's switch!"

Ye Mingshi said, "No."

The cat said, "Why? You're stingy. It's just a change of seat."

Ye Mingshi knew why Maomao had smiled so brightly at him today. He shook his head and sighed, saying, "Maomao, as your fan, I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation, but giving up my seat... is really not an option."

Jin'er just said that if I dare to switch seats with you, he'll throw me off the plane!

Cat frowned immediately, staring at Ye Ming as she tried to determine the truthfulness of his words.

"Ah Jin is truly prescient; she knew I wanted to switch seats with you," Cat said.

Ye Mingshi raised an eyebrow. This was far too obvious, wasn't it?

But how could Maomao possibly give up such a great opportunity! She rummaged through her small bag, pulled out several bills, and stuffed them into Ye Mingshi's hand, saying, "Since you can't exchange them, I'll buy them! Get out of my way."

Ye Mingshi paused, then chuckled. He only drew one of the bills, saying, "Alright, I'll give you a 10% discount. I'll reluctantly part with it."

With that, Ye Mingshi went to sit down in front.

The cat quietly sat down and found that Mu Jin was not moving at all, perhaps she was sleeping soundly.

The plane took off.

The cat was reading at first, but then her eyelids got heavy. She looked at Mu Jin, who was sleeping soundly the whole time.

The cat also put away its books, adjusted its chair, and prepared to take a nap.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the cat was half asleep when she felt a slight weight on her shoulder. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Jin leaning on her shoulder, with stray hairs brushing against her eyes and fluffy hairs sticking up to her ears.

The cat immediately woke up!

She didn't dare to move at all; she almost held her breath and stared at Mu Jin for a long time to make sure he was asleep before slowly relaxing.

She smiled and was so happy she couldn't sleep.

Just as she was about to pick up a book to read, she suddenly noticed the wooden box on Mu Jin's lap!

It was the one he snatched from an auction. He probably played with it before going to bed, and it had been lying in his hand ever since.

The cat stared at the wooden box for a while, then gently picked it up.

He held it in both hands, turning it around to look at it for a while, then looked at Mu Jin, who was wearing a silk blindfold...

"The cat will just glance at it and won't take your things."

The cat thought to itself, "Move the mechanism on the box—"

Soon, the box rapidly transformed, its mechanisms unfolding layer by layer until finally, a recess was revealed, supporting a small scroll of bamboo slips.

The cat took the bamboo slip down and raised its eyebrows slightly.

This is a small piece of map, and a very old one at that. It's also clear that the map has been fragmented; otherwise, with such limited information, it would be impossible to find the corresponding location…

The cat rolled up the bamboo slips, put them back, and restored the wooden box to its original state, gently placing it on Mu Jin's lap.

She thought, "Jiu Yunchi said that Mu Jin is a member of the Fengmen sect, and Lu Ban's skills also belong to the Fengmen sect... So, it's understandable that Mu Jin is looking for this box."

However, as far as she knew, the Lu Ban technique was very mysterious, and practicing it with a human body would cause great harm. Therefore, this inheritance has always been very mysterious.

If Mu Jin can open this box, will he be the one who inherited Lu Ban's skills?

The cat kept its questions to itself.

Suddenly, she noticed the car keys in Mu Jin's pocket! Perhaps because her body was leaning towards her, half of the car keys rolled out of the shallow pocket.

The cat immediately held its breath, hooked the key ring with its finger, and took it out.

Luckily, she had brought those two copper bells with her yesterday! She took one out, hung it on Mu Jin's keychain, and then carefully put it back in his pocket.

After doing all that, the cat smiled contentedly!

Mu Jin woke up halfway through the voyage.

He straightened up, removed his blindfold, and immediately looked at the person next to him.

His narrow eyes were squinting, still a little groggy from just waking up. "How come it's you?"

The cat stretched her shoulders, but found they were a little unresponsive. She said, "Why can't it be me?"

When Mu Jin saw Ye Ming sitting in front, he understood everything. He covered his eyes, seemingly to shake off his sleepiness, and then suddenly put one hand on the cat's shoulder and pinched her shoulder blade hard.

There was a momentary sting! But the cat's shoulder moved immediately!

She couldn't help but ask, "Ah Jin, do you really know medicine?"

Mu Jin remained silent.

It was dark on the plane, and everyone else was sleeping.

Suddenly, the cat took out several food containers and opened them in front of Mu Jin.

Mu Jin looked at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

The cat asked, "Ah Jin, aren't you hungry?"

Mu Jin's eyes swept over the lunch boxes. They were all vegetarian and looked quite nice, but he didn't really want to eat them. He had been eating vegetarian food for the past month, but in fact, he was a carnivore.

However, when a pair of chopsticks was handed to her, Mu Jin still accepted it.

Holding those chopsticks, Mu Jin couldn't throw them away even if he wanted to; he didn't quite understand why he was acting against his will.

But he calmly tasted it and found it to be surprisingly delicious.

And it tastes a little different...

This is a spiritual plant, and its quality is comparable to that of the Ye family.

Mu Jin paused slightly with his chopsticks, suddenly realizing that this might be what the old lady was interested in.

Mu Jin ate a lot quietly.

Cat thought sadly that this was all she could feed Ah Jin now. Ah Jin used to eat immortal dew and drink from spiritual springs—the finest things ever…

Several hours later, the plane finally landed.

Jiu Yebai picked up Maomao and Chen Doudou and headed straight home.

"It took them really long!" Jiu Yebai said.

The cat said, "It's only been a week."

Yes, it's only been a week! Cat really doesn't want to come back, but if Ah Jin isn't there anymore, there's no point in her staying there.

Jiu Yebai said dejectedly, "A week, it never felt that long before..."

But this time, something just didn't feel right! When he returned to the villa, it was deserted and he couldn't see any cats. Jiu Yebai hadn't had a good time these past few days.

If he hadn't been so engrossed in studying for the exam that his attention was slightly diverted, he might have become depressed.

The phone suddenly rang. When Maomao answered it, it was the school calling to tell her to pick up her report card!
