Having found the clues, Mo Xin quickly dug out all the jade slips containing records related to Hu Ling.

Unfortunately, because no one had actually seen Huaiyu at the time, and Hu Ling had only been the Demon Lord for a short time and had already ascended to immortality, the information available was limited.

Mo Xin still had to expend a lot of effort to find some useful information.

For example, Hu Ling had no direct descendants, but he had a younger sister, who married into the Qu family.

In other words, the Huaiyu mentioned by Qu Ruxue and Shushu is actually somewhat related to her.

Having found this out, Mo Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have a direction; it was better than being completely clueless like before.

Just as he was about to continue searching to see if he could find any more useful information, he caught a glimpse of Shushu and Xuejie, who were leisurely sitting and crunching on spirit fruits.

The moment their eyes met, an awkward atmosphere filled the air. Shushu and Xuejie held the spirit fruit, unsure whether to eat it or not, while Moxin was completely stunned.

After a long while, Mo Xin seemed to come back to his senses. He looked at the two people sitting leisurely munching on spirit fruits, and then looked back at the result of his hard work—a pile of jade slips that was taller than him.

Whether by coincidence or not, the moment his gaze fell upon them, the pile of jade slips that had been neatly stacked collapsed with a bang.

Looking at the scattered jade slips, even though he was absolutely certain that none of them were alive, Mo Xin still felt that they were blatantly mocking him.

Uncontrollably, his heart experienced a sense of imbalance at that moment.

Without even thinking, he suddenly swept the pile of jade slips into a corner and swiftly snatched the spirit fruit from Shushu and Xuejie's hands.

While he was still hesitating whether to take away their chairs as well, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. Something had hit him on the head, and the spiritual fruit in his hand almost flew out of his hand.

He hurriedly steadied himself, turned around angrily, and was met with a book that looked like a brick. His face instantly darkened.

"Why is this guy awake?" Mo Xin roared inwardly, his gaze fixed on the book, which involuntarily became wary.

The book, seeing that Mo Xin had finally turned around and noticed it, shook itself triumphantly, its cover materializing to reveal facial features with a malicious smile.

Under Mo Xin's watchful gaze, the book slowly grew larger, one end tilting upwards, looking eager to give him another whack on the head.

This enraged Mo Xin so much that he gritted his teeth and roared, "You damned rubbish book, I'll fight you to the death today!"

Then, Mo Xin threw the spirit fruit he had just snatched toward Shushu and Xuejie, and rushed over to fight with the book.

Seeing this, the book not only did not back down, but instead went forward with great enthusiasm. In no time, the man and the book had exchanged dozens of blows and were locked in a fierce battle, neither giving an inch nor willing to stop.

Looking at Mo Xin, who had suddenly become a completely different person, having lost all her maturity and composure, and was now fighting like a child, she was furious.

Shushu and Xuejie exchanged a glance, then quickly pulled up the chairs they were sitting on, and then ate the spirit fruit they had finally managed to get back in two quick bites, not forgetting to wipe their mouths clean.

After doing all this, the two of them, like quails, found a relatively safe corner and quietly watched the man and the book fight.

As he looked around, Shushu noticed something was wrong. He stared intently at the book, which was moving so fast it was like a blur, and carefully tried to identify the author.

Finally, through her tireless observation, she saw the original form of the book and it matched the one in her inherited memories.

This book is actually the legendary encyclopedia.

Thinking of the encyclopedia records passed down in his memory, and how he knew everything about the world, Shushu couldn't help but get excited. His eyes sparkled, and he looked at the other person with nothing but admiration.

Before she knew it, she even shouted, "Go Encyclopedia!"

The sound was exceptionally loud in the empty treasure pavilion, and it reached everyone's ears without any surprise.

In an instant, it was as if the pause button had been pressed, stopping the battle on the other side. The entire library also fell into a deathly silence. Mo Xin and the encyclopedia stared straight at Shushu.

The encyclopedia's gaze was alright, but Mo Xin's gaze felt like it was carrying a knife.

When faced with that gaze, Shushu couldn't hold on for long before finally giving in and darting behind Xuejie, hiding himself completely.

The tall Xuejie was left alone to face the intimidating gaze of Mo Xin.

Xuejie was also a coward. Even with Mo Xin's gaze fixed on him as he was about to kill someone, he trembled and his face was full of tears. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a trembling sentence.

"That was just a joke, a joke. The child is still young, don't mind it, don't mind it, haha."

Mo Xin:...

However, with this incident, the feud between Moxin and the encyclopedia naturally came to an end.

They snorted at each other, each unwilling to give in. Mo Xin glared at Xue Jie, receiving a silly yet ingratiating smile from him. Only then did he sigh helplessly and turn back to tidy up the jade slips that had been messed up during the fight.

As for the encyclopedia, it bypassed Yukisuke and came to the potato, speaking in a nonchalant tone from the start.

"Hey, dear little treasure-hunting mouse, I'm the encyclopedia. You can call me Xiao Bai or Ke Ke. What's your name? Let's be friends!"

Shushu was genuinely surprised that the legendary encyclopedia would have such a temperament. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled and said, "Hello, Keke, my name is Shushu."

Encyclopedia: "Wow, so your name is Shushu (Shushu)? That's a nice name."

Millet: "Your name is nice too."

The encyclopedia states: "Right? I think so too. Someone like me, handsome, dashing, and exceptionally talented..."

Shushu couldn't remember what else the encyclopedia said after that; she only remembered that the encyclopedia praised her for a full hour.

Yes, you read that right, it really was a full hour.

Shushu thought Tianluo and its bred Tianluo No. 2 Jiu Ruo were already long-winded enough, but unexpectedly, it encountered an even more long-winded one.

But because this guy is an encyclopedia, he has an extremely rich knowledge base, and he never repeats himself throughout the entire conversation.

When it finally stopped talking, all of Shushu's positive feelings towards it shattered, and in the end, he added this sentence to the inherited memories of the treasure-hunting rat clan.

He has a wealth of encyclopedic knowledge and an incredibly eloquent personality—he's the best talker in the world!
