Looking at the house that resembled a farmhouse, Gu Jin asked with some doubt, "Seventh Master, have we come to the wrong place?"

Chen Yi whispered, "Is Old Tang trying to fool us? This doesn't look like the place where an old professor lives at all."

Gu Jueye remained silent, while Bai Qianmo's gaze swept carefully across the courtyard.

"There's a trap here."

Kuching and Chen Yi immediately tensed up and looked around warily.

"I'll knock on the door!" Turning her gaze away, Bai Qianmo pushed open the gate and went inside first.

Gu Jueye followed closely behind her, followed by Gu Jin and Chen Yi.

As I approached the door, a low, hoarse cough came from inside.

"Didn't you see the sign on the door?" came an annoyed question from inside the house.

"Professor Qi Yue, we were introduced by Professor Tang."

There was a moment of silence in the room, then a soft hum could be heard.

"That old bastard Tang Wanli already told me, but I refused to see you. Didn't that old man tell you that?"

Bai Qianmo's lips twitched slightly.

Old Tang said on the phone that he had already spoken to Qi Yue and that she could come directly over.

So they never agreed to meet them at all.

This Mr. Tang is so unreliable.

Gu Jueye glanced at Gu Jin, who paused for a moment before understanding what Seventh Master meant.

Since Yi Ge started following Miss Qian Mo, he has been working with Seventh Master, bringing Chen Yi with him. Now he is gradually learning what it means to read between the lines.

He eagerly took out the printed parchment copy and handed it to Gu Jueye.

Gu Jueye reached out and took it, then slowly unfolded it towards the doorway.

"I heard from Professor Tang that you have devoted your life to the study of ancient writing. We accidentally discovered this parchment scroll in a Western Zhou Dynasty tomb. It has 120 strange ancient characters on it, which archaeologists cannot decipher. I wonder if Professor Qi could take a look at it?"

The people inside remained silent for a long while.

Bai Qianmo slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a red light flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, she could see the situation inside the room through the door frame.

The room was dimly lit, with dark blue curtains drawn. Only a dim desk lamp shone on the desk, and a computer sat on it. A thin man sat in the chair with his back to the door, staring at the screen.

As she expected, this seemingly ordinary courtyard was not only equipped with surveillance cameras, but also with a warning system.

If someone tries to force their way in and triggers the mechanism, they could very well lose their life here.

The moment she pushed open the door, she saw the Mo family's formation set up in the courtyard. It was certain that this Qi Yue was likely a member of the Mo family.

However, he must have expected them to come, so the mechanism was closed when they entered. Nevertheless, this person kept an eye on their every move from inside the room.

Withdrawing her gaze, Bai Qianmo closed her eyes again, and when she opened them, her eyes were clear again.

“You little girl, bring in that parchment roll.”

Almost as soon as Bai Qianmo opened her eyes, Qi Yue's voice came from inside.

Gu Jueye's brows twitched slightly, and he glanced at Bai Qianmo beside him with concern.

“Senior Mo, this matter concerns our Gu family and has nothing to do with the girl beside me. If you want to see someone, you should see me.”

"Senior Mo? You've mistaken me for someone else."

Gu Jueye smiled and said, "It's Senior Mo You."

The person inside no longer denied it: "Heh, you're from the Gu family? Who's your grandfather?"

"Gu Guobang!"

There was a brief silence inside: "You two come in, and the other two go out."

Kuching and Chen Yi exchanged a surprised glance.

"How did he know there were four of us? Did they install surveillance cameras in the yard?"

Chen Yi glanced around, said nothing, and was genuinely shocked.

I thought he was just an old scholar, but it turns out he's an old scholar who keeps up with the times.

Gu Jueye grasped Bai Qianmo's hand and pushed open the door.

The door creaked open and slowly shone, bringing a ray of light into the dim room.

Gu Jueye's deep gaze quickly turned to the old man standing in front of the desk with his back to them.

The two people had just walked in when the door slammed shut.

Bai Qianmo turned to look at the wooden door. It was made of pure wood and there was no indication of any electronic equipment installed, yet the door closed itself abruptly.

Gu Jueye praised, "Professor Mo is indeed a descendant of the Mo family. This courtyard is full of ingenious and perfect mechanisms. If Professor Mo hadn't deliberately let us through, we probably wouldn't have been able to even get through the gate."

The chair slowly turned, and the old man turned to face Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo.

When they saw that face, Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo appeared extremely calm, but they also felt a little strange inside.

The face in front of me can no longer be called a face; it has been burned over a large area, and only one-third of the skin still shows its original appearance.

"How do you know my surname is Mo? Even Tang Wanli didn't know that."

“I once heard my grandfather mention a friend who was proficient in ancient writing. He was knowledgeable and skilled in everything that appeared in the world in written form, whether Chinese or foreign, ancient or modern. His name was Mo You, and he was the most outstanding genius of the Mohist school in modern times. Based on what my grandfather once said, I guessed that the person Mr. Tang introduced this time should be Mr. Mo You.”

"You're very smart," Mo You said coldly, glancing at Bai Qianmo with his murky eyes.

He didn't ask anything, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable as he stared at Bai Qianmo's face for a long time.

Bai Qianmo felt that Mo You wasn't looking at her at that moment.

Withdrawing his gaze, Mo You extended his hand: "Words."

Gu Jueye handed the parchment scroll to Mo You, who took it and slowly turned the back of his chair to face the desk. He pressed a button on the lamp holder, making the lamp brighter than before.

Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo walked to Mo You's side to wait for news.

He leaned over the desk, holding a magnifying glass in his hand, and after looking at it for a long time, he turned his head to look at Gu Jueye.

What do you want to know?
