Mo Chen lowered his head and said, "We parted ways just now when I came back... Now, I don't know where he went."
"What?!" Gu Li stood up angrily, pacing back and forth in the room. "I'm so angry! I'm absolutely furious! I planned everything perfectly, but I never expected someone to impersonate the White Emperor and sneak in! What if they reveal our hiding place?!"
Mo Chen said with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, strategist, it's all my fault. Please punish me!"
Gu Li angrily pointed at Mo Chen, "Punish you? You wouldn't be enough even if you died ten thousand times!"
Gu Yan said irritably, "Forget it, since it has already happened, we must find another place to hide as soon as possible."
"The world's resources are almost exhausted, where can we find a place to hide?" Gu Li said angrily.
Gu Yan frowned, at a loss for what to do.
Just then, Mo Bai walked in and, seeing the three looking so worried, asked with a grin, "Oh, what's wrong? Why are you all in mourning?"

Mo Bai held the teapot, took a sip directly from the spout, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What? Doesn't the strategist recognize me?"
Gu Li's eyes widened, and he snatched the teapot from her arms, clutching it tightly. "Can't you have some manners?!"

Gu Yan, who was lost in thought, suddenly snapped out of it. "Mo Bai, you're back?"
Mo Bai blinked and smiled, "Did the strategist really think I wouldn't be coming back?"
"No, that's not what I meant. Someone impersonated you to get in earlier, and I was worried about you..." Gu Yan hurriedly asked, "Are you really alright?"
Mo Bai smiled and said, "I know who you're talking about. I've met him too. His name is Mo Li. He's actually connected to the strategist."
"What do you mean?" Gu Yan asked, puzzled.
“That guy is a fox who just transformed into human form. It just so happens that he looks like me.” Mo Bai took out the mask and played with it. “I wore the mask to verify his character. He’s not one of the demons. He accidentally came to our hiding place with Mo Chen while trying to help me.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at Mo Bai, only to find that he was holding a mask that was exactly the same as the mysterious man's!
