It took a full quarter of an hour before Su Mohui finished writing down the task instructions she had received and was talking to them about it.

"Including the Demon Crossing Vine and the Air Devouring Grass we just saw, many dormitories have already encountered this kind of thing. The most likely suspects are the dormitory supervisors, Instructor Wu and Instructor Xiao, as well as Luo Yongjun and Uncle Lou Gao from the patrol team..."

"And what Master told me about the situation inside the academy..."

"My master also told me about Zhan Qing. She's almost done with it. Now it's very clear who are the dissidents inside and outside the palace..."

At this point, Shen Jiaan interrupted Su Mohui, pursed his lips, and pointed to the place where the words "Zhan Qing" were written, and asked: "Did Zhan Qing send a message saying when he will be back?"

Su Mohui thought about it carefully and shook her head: "My master didn't say it explicitly, but I guess he will wait until the people arranged by the higher-ups have gone before coming back, or maybe he will come back after the matter is over..."

Shen Jia'an was distracted for a moment after hearing this, but still let Su Mohui continue speaking.

"And these locations are the exact locations that Zhan Qing has explored."

Qi Mo also spoke, pointing to a place name and muttering, "A hundred miles east of Jingu City...a ruined temple on the top of a mountain?"

"What's wrong with this place?" Su Mohui listened to him muttering and raised her head to look at Qi Mo.

The latter clenched his fist and put it to his lips. After a moment, he responded to her question: "I remember last spring, Xiao An and I went here. At that time, we were wondering why there was a miniature courtyard in that dilapidated temple."

When Shen Jia'an heard Qi Mo mention this, his brain raced, and he slapped his head hard, "Yes! That's true! I remember wanting to move that miniature courtyard house to study it, but I didn't expect..."

"Well, didn't you also set fire to the courtyard in the end?" Qi Mo was speechless. He glanced at Shen Jia'an's annoyed expression and continued, "It was because I mentioned that familiar pattern when we were going down the mountain that you turned back."

Shen Jiaan touched his nose, feeling a little disappointed. "If it hadn't rained heavily, that dilapidated temple and this ugly courtyard would have been burned to the ground. There would be no time for them to continue jumping around now..."

Su Mohui watched their interaction, a smile forming on her lips, "Then why didn't you wait until the rain stopped before continuing to burn it?"

"Oh no! Don't mention it!" Shen Jia'an glanced at Qi Mo with resentment and whispered, "It was burned, but this kid said that if you set fire to the mountain, you will pee on the bed at night and spend the rest of your life in prison... In the end, there were only a few small houses left to burn, so he just put out the fire and left..."

Bifang and Qilin exchanged a glance, their eyes almost overflowing with laughter. Who would have thought that the two humans they had contracted with could be so funny...

Nowadays, holding back laughter is also a technical job...

As Su Mohui listened to the familiar lines, the smile on her face became even wider. After laughing a few times and calming down, she continued to point at the paper and spoke.

"Oh, and here's another one. I told you about Xuanyuan Mingshu before. She has already caught the spies in the palace, including the identities of those minor officials that Xuanyuan Shaoze secretly assisted her in investigating..."

"My father told me a little bit, especially about this eunuch Li. When I first entered the palace as a child, I felt that he didn't seem like a good person!" Shen Jia'an's gaze followed Su Mohui's fingertips and stopped at Eunuch Li's name, and he spoke his mind directly.

Qi Mo seemed to be thinking about something, and directly exposed Shen's shortcomings: "So when you came to me crying as a child, it was because you met this person... No wonder..."

"Then didn't I take you into the palace to take a sneak peek later... You don't know that my father almost didn't agree with my idea at that time. It was only after you came in person and acted coquettishly in front of my father that he agreed." Shen Jia'an was not to be outdone and also revealed another side of Mou Qi.

This is amazing! It turns out that Qi Mo was also good at acting like a spoiled child when he was little...

Qilin and Su Mohui's train of thought suddenly coincided, but the latter had a bold idea:

Otherwise...if you have time, take a look at the time mirror?

Why are we getting off topic? Now it’s time to get down to business.

As Su Mohui's thoughts started to drift, they were pulled down by reason and fell back onto the paper in front of her.

"Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an didn't attend the court meeting last time. The Shen family might know about Sun Fan's situation. My father had already transferred him to escort prisoners last time. He originally said he wanted to avenge his sister, but he didn't expect to find out all this directly through the investigation. He also passed it on through the things left by Qiongqi. Most of it is that the border is not stable..."

"I have some impression..." Shen Jia'an recalled the name, and finally picked up the pen and wrote something: "Sun Shangshu, Sun Hanzhu. Yes, I remember now. I heard my father talk about Sun Fan a few years ago. He always sighed. His family situation is still a bit complicated..."

After saying that, he wrote down another name and looked at Su Mohui and Qi Mo: "Do you have any impression of this name?"

A cursive name appeared on the paper, and Su Mohui immediately thought of the daughter of the old nanny who taught her etiquette before going to the court meeting: "This person is now at my house. Her mother also taught me some etiquette before."

Qi Mo also shared his impression, "This Sun Lan was originally the youngest sister of Minister Sun, and also a former sister of the current emperor and empress. At that time, the emperor and empress wanted Sun Lan to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but she was too proud to marry into the royal family, so she found a nunnery and became a nun."

"Yes, but later on, for some unknown reason, he returned to the mortal world," Shen Jia'an continued, writing down another name. "From what I know, it's most likely because Liu Ping, Sun Lan's mother and Minister Sun's stepmother, noticed that the Xipan Church was secretly interfering in the affairs of the court within the Luoshen Empire."

Liu Ping is the old lady who taught Su Mohui etiquette.

"Now that you mention it, I remember it. At that time, a man from the Karl Empire suddenly appeared in the court. He had passed the palace examination and all he needed was the imperial edict to become an official in the court," Qi Mo also remembered those memories that were so old that they were about to turn into dregs, and continued.

"In the end, it was Liu Ping's family who first noticed it and asked Minister Sun to report it. Minister Sun also submitted a memorial at that time, but who would have thought that someone would stop it. Then Liu Ping knew that there were officials with double entendres in the court. I don't know what happened after that."

So that’s it….

No wonder when Liu Ping was teaching him etiquette, he was not enthusiastic about official etiquette, but still followed the rules.

Su Mohui discovered this after connecting the dots.

"Actually, there's one more thing. I saw what was happening inside the cult in the memory of that child, A Guang. I also seemed to see Su Ziwen..."
