Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

“Oh give it up already. There’s no way I am letting you go!”

The human and the crane started a tug-of-war as usual. Mo Xuanzun had no choice but to turn and walked up to the kiosk.

He cupped his hand and greeted the girl with the welcoming smile and said, “Shi mei Gong, long time no see. How has my shi mei Gong been? I haven’t seen you visiting the Temple of Divine Plans for a while now.”

“Ho ho ho.” Gong Zixuan was already used to his rambling. Smiling, she said, “Thank you for asking, shi xiong Mo. I heard you have gone on a trip recently, did you have fun?”

“Aye, I don’t even want to talk about it!” said Mo Xuanzun as he took a seat. He didn’t look very cheery and even somewhat at loss.

Gong Zixuan was a bit surprised at that. Concerned, she asked, “Shi Xiong Mo, what happened? If you need someone to talk to, I am all ears!”

Gong Zixuan had already thought of her nerdy shi xiong as her own brother. He has had very few encounters with the outside world and has always been pampered at the Temple of Divine Plans, so he was a relative simpler person who are unfamiliar with maliciousness.

But that didn’t mean he was ignorant. When it came to calculations, even his master openly admit that he had excelled him. Everyone treated him nicely whole heartedly, which was why he had retained the innocent look in his eyes for his entire 20 years.

“Thank you for asking, shi mei Gone. I am fine, just fine!” Mo Xuanzun felt a little awkward, he didn’t want to say anything embarrassing in front of her.

Ever since half a month ago, when he had encountered that mean, little face, he had been thinking about that face day and night. Most importantly, even a genius mathematician like him could find out her whereabouts through his calculations, let alone who she was!

As a genius mathematician who had never experience failure before, he was taking this quite hard and was very devastated!

Gong Zixuan noticed his odd expression and was baffled, but since he didn’t want to elaborate, she didn’t want to pry either. “I am glad to hear that you are alright. Shi xiong Mo hasn’t been busy lately, have you?”

“No, not really. Lately I have been helping out with my master and taking out my shi di’s to take on assignments.”

Mo Xuanzun produced a wine bottle and a wine cup from the dimension ring, filled the cup for Gong Zixuan and drank directly from the bottle himself. “I heard that shi mei Gong had been looking for me. Is it something that I can help with? If it is, I will be more than happy to oblige!”

“That is very kind of your, shi xiong! But I don’t have any pressing matters!”

Gong Zixuan produced a vine from her bracelet and said, “Shi xiong Mo possesses a wealth of knowledge and is much more knowledgeable than your shi mei. This vine had came into my possession recently, and it seemed to have a mind of its own. I would like shi xiong to take a look at it and tell me what he thinks of it!”

“It sounds wonderful!” Mo Xuanzun’s eyes beamed immediately and the hint of unhappiness that was between his brows disappeared instantly.

Holding the vine that was of such bright green color, looking at it left and right, Mo Xuanzun was lready aextremely fond of it. At the same time, he tried to recall as best he could whether he has ever read about anything like this in the past.

Looking at him quietly, Gong Zixuan did not interrupt him; she picked up the wine bottle from the table and enjoyed the fruit wine made by Mo Xuanzun personally.

It was well known among the four top powers that Mo Xuanzun make an awesome wine. Anyone who had tried it just once would want more of it. But, anyone without some sort of connections would also find it very difficult to get their hands on one of these.

But for Gong Zixuan, it was quite easy. All she needed to do was to ask Mo Xuanzun each time she saw him and he’d gift her some.

“Shi mei Gong, this is no normal vine; can you please tell your shi xiong where you got it from?” He looked up at her, the sparkling in his eyes gave away his fondness of the vine.
