What to do if you receive the wrong package?

After dinner, Gu Yan and the other three hid in the pavilion and sat together.

Zhou Yuran leaned against Gu Yan, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, "Sure enough, the moon looks brighter outside the palace than inside."

Gu Yan: "That's just your imagination. It's all the same moon, the same thing."

"I'm increasingly realizing how much better modern times are. There aren't so many strange and complicated things happening in modern times," Su Huaiqi said, leaning against Shen Mujin with deep emotion.

Gu Yan agreed wholeheartedly, "I think so too. I suddenly realized that going to work is pretty good. At least I don't have to rack my brains so much, I don't have to be on edge every day, and I can still earn money."

"Money, money, money, are you obsessed with money?" Zhou Yuran said with some disdain.

"You live in the Prince's mansion and have no worries about food and clothing. You have no idea how pitiful I am, with a family to support. Although my elder brother has a husband and doesn't need me to take care of him, I still have two little ones to raise."

Zhou Yuran lowered her head and gave a self-deprecating laugh. "It's only temporary. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you to support me in the future."

"Go away, go cling to Qiqi's coattails, that's where the real rich people are."

Su Huaiqi smiled but didn't reply. Instead, she asked, "Ayan, what you said the other day, was it true? Could the 'Sea and Moon' painting really be related to our return home?"

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in memories.

"I don't know either. I just have a feeling that someone said something similar to me in a dream, but I can't remember it at all."

At the end, Gu Yan even tapped his head with his hand.

"However, given the current situation, even if we have connections, it's useless now. We don't even know who took the map." Su Huaiqi spread his hands, somewhat helplessly.

Gu Yan sighed softly: "Perhaps this is what they call fate. We came here inexplicably, experienced these things inexplicably, and may eventually return inexplicably."

Zhou Yuran listened to Gu Yan's words and nodded in agreement. She turned her head and looked at Shen Mujin, who was in a somewhat depressed mood, and took her hand to comfort her, "Mumu, don't worry, the innocent will be proven innocent, Xuanyi and Weiyang Palace will definitely be fine."

Hearing Zhou Yuran's words of comfort, Gu Yan and Su Huaiqi turned around. Su Huaiqi even leaned on Shen Mujin's back, "That's right, Mumu, Xuanyi is so powerful, Weiyang Palace must have its own unique strengths to be able to stand firm in the martial arts world. And this time we are all here, with the help of Yu Zechuan and the Prince of Chu, there will definitely be no problem."

"Mumu, don't worry. I'll write to my older brother and Brother Li in a bit and call them back. I'll also call Jiang Si back. There are many of us, and we can catch that big bad guy who framed Xuan Yi in no time. Then Xuan Yi will give you a fancy interrogation and make you worry."

Seeing the concerned looks on the faces of her friends, Shen Mujin smiled.

"I'm fine. After all, I'm part of the think tank; how can we function without me?"

Looking at everyone gathered around her, Shen Mujin felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew that, no matter what, she would never be alone again.

Huh? What the heck is a think tank?

Gu Yan and Zhou Yuran exchanged a somewhat confused look.

Su Huaiqi laughed and leaned against Shen Mujin, unable to straighten her back.

Left with no other choice, Shen Mujin had to explain herself: "Back when Qiqi, Ayan, and I were together, we often encountered some problems. But as you know Ayan... so Qiqi and I were the brain trust of the trio at that time."

After laughing enough, Su Huaiqi rubbed his stomach, which was a little sore from laughing, and continued, "After meeting you, the brain trust of our four-person group became you, me, and Mumu."

"Stop, stop, stop. Just say the entire think tank, except for me, is..." Gu Yan glanced at Su Huaiqi with some disdain.

"You don't understand, I'm just being wise in disguise! Humph, you'll regret this one day."

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing this, Zhou Yuran understood and forced a smile as she agreed.

"Annoying!" Gu Yan decided to ignore these annoying guys for the time being, stood up abruptly, and walked out of the pavilion without looking back.

"I'm leaving! Goodbye!"

After walking only a few steps, Gu Yan saw Duan Chenke standing not far away, and then remembered that Zhou Yuran would be leaving.

Gu Yan's heart tightened, and she quickly turned around. Just as she was about to walk back, she saw that Zhou Yuran had already stood behind her at some point.

“Moon Girl…”

"It's alright, come visit me at the Prince's Mansion if you miss me." Zhou Yuran looked at the deep reluctance in Gu Yan's eyes, her tone gentle and smiling, patted her shoulder, and then walked towards Duan Chenke who was not far away.

Gu Yan watched Zhou Yuran disappear around the corner with Duan Chenke, and stood there helplessly.

"What's wrong? Are you so stupid that you're starting to dislike yourself?" Su Huaiqi put his arm around Gu Yan's shoulder from behind and asked with a grin.

"It's alright, we don't mind. Your presence only highlights our intelligence."

"Su Qiqi! Prepare to die!" The somewhat somber atmosphere quickly changed with Su Huaiqi's witty remarks, but the change went a little too far.

Shen Mujin watched the two people chasing and playing in front of her, and hearing their laughter, she smiled happily.

Fortunately, you are still here.

--------------

Early the next morning.

Gu Yan, who was about to go into the kitchen to make breakfast, suddenly caught two suspicious people.

Looking at Bai Hongsheng and Lin Mu'an, who were standing with their heads down, Gu Yan could only ask softly, "Tell me, what are you two planning to do in the kitchen all this time?"

Bai Hongsheng glanced at Gu Yan, shook his head, and remained silent.

Gu Yan's eyes lit up. She squatted down and patted Lin Mu'an's little head. "An'an, can you tell your second sister why you and Sheng Sheng went into the kitchen?"

Lin Mu'an opened his mouth, but then looked at Bai Hongsheng, who had been giving him meaningful glances, and could only whisper, "Second sister, I'm sorry, An'an can't say."

"It's okay." Gu Yan pinched Lin Mu'an's little face and comforted him. "What do you need? Second sister can help you prepare it. After all, there are knives and fire in the kitchen, so it's not very safe."

Bai Hongsheng was surprised that Gu Yan not only didn't scold them, but also wanted to help him prepare, which made him feel guilty.

Lin Mu'an was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly tugged at Bai Hongsheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Shengsheng, should we tell Second Sister?"

Seeing this, Gu Yan quickly hugged Lin Mu'an and gently patted his back, "It's alright, An'an, don't cry, don't cry, your second sister promises not to ask anymore."

Bai Hongsheng also took the opportunity to snuggle into Gu Yan's arms and whispered, "Second sister, An'an and I overheard your conversation yesterday. Aunt Hong once told me that if something bad happens to a family member, we can go to a temple to burn incense and ask Buddha to bless the family so that everything goes smoothly. So we want to go to the temple and ask Buddha to bless Brother Xuanyi so that everything goes smoothly."

"Second sister, please note that this was my idea, so please don't blame Sheng Sheng. I know there's a really big temple nearby, which is why I wanted to take Sheng Sheng with me."

Looking at the two children in his arms, Gu Yan was so moved that his heart almost melted.

"You are both good children who think of your family, how could your second sister blame you? It's just that it's not safe for the two of you to go out alone. How about your second sister goes with you today?"

"really?"

"great!"

The two little ones jumped up happily, instantly forgetting all the unpleasantness they had just experienced.

Looking at the two children's smiling faces, Gu Yan suddenly asked, "Sheng Sheng, An An, would you like to go out for breakfast?"

"miss you!"

Gu Yan smiled and nodded in agreement. He quickly packed up the things he needed for offering incense, picked up the small bamboo basket, and led the two little ones out of the gate. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give the guard a heads-up.

There weren't many people on the streets in the early morning. Gu Yan didn't keep an eye on the two little ones, watching them run and jump ahead, occasionally giving them a reminder.

Unexpectedly, a woman in green suddenly appeared from around the corner, and Bai Hongsheng, unable to stop in time, bumped into her.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yan quickly ran forward, first briefly checked Bai Hongsheng, and immediately apologized, "I'm so sorry, are you alright?"

The girl was only knocked back a few steps and was not seriously injured. She waved her hand softly and said, "I'm fine. Is the little one alright? Did you get hurt?"

"It's alright, Sheng Sheng is a real man, it doesn't hurt at all." Bai Hongsheng rubbed his forehead, which was slightly red from the bump, and said with a proud expression.

The girl was amused by Bai Hongsheng's adorable appearance, gently patted his little shoulder, and praised, "Shengsheng is really great."

Bai Hongsheng blushed and shyly hid behind Gu Yan, watching the woman in green gradually disappear into the distance. Suddenly, he noticed a small object on the ground.

"Second sister, look, there's something over there!"

Gu Yan looked in the direction Bai Hongsheng was pointing and saw a simple hairpin lying quietly on the ground. She walked over, picked it up, and then realized that it might have been left behind by the woman in green.

"Second sister, this hair ornament looks like it belonged to that sister in blue earlier," Lin Mu'an whispered. He seemed to have noticed the hair ornament on the sister in blue's head earlier.

Gu Yan nodded. "It should be that lady from earlier. I just don't know if we'll run into her again. If we do, shall we ask her?"

"Okay! Sheng Sheng will keep an eye on Sister Qingyi."

"An'an will help too!"

"Okay, thank you An'an and Shengsheng."

After the little incident, and with more and more pedestrians approaching the morning market, Gu Yan didn't dare let the two little ones run and jump around on the street anymore. So he held one in each hand and walked towards the breakfast stall.

Perhaps because they were thinking about the woman in green from earlier, the two little ones kept looking around while eating and didn't eat properly at all.

In the end, Gu Yan pretended to be serious and threatened them a few times before the two obediently lowered their heads and focused on eating.

After eating and drinking their fill, Gu Yan, led by Lin Mu'an, headed towards the temple.

After walking for about the time it takes to burn two incense sticks, and feeling like we had reached the edge of Zhongjing, we arrived at the temple.

Gu Yan looked at the huge plaque above the courtyard gate, somewhat speechless.

Shaolin Temple.

Shouldn't you be in Songshan, Henan? Why did you change locations too?

In modern times, you had to book and buy tickets in advance to visit Shaolin Temple, but now you can visit for free. I just don't know what the difference is between this "Shaolin" and that "Shaolin".

Once inside the temple, Gu Yan discovered that there were still many tourists, and nothing seemed different.

Gu Yan held the two little ones tightly, lining up in the queue to enter the hall, inching forward little by little, and occasionally reminding them, "An'an, Shengsheng. There are many people here, so you must stay close to me. If you can't find me later, go and wait for me under that big pine tree."

After queuing for a while, it was finally Gu Yan and the other two's turn to enter the hall. Little Douding knew that offering incense was a serious matter, so he obediently and quietly followed behind Gu Yan, watching him collect a few sticks of incense from the side.

Gu Yan knelt on the ground, gazing at the enormous Buddha statue before her, her heart filled with awe. She gently lit incense, the smoke curling upwards, carrying the delicate fragrance of sandalwood. She clasped her hands together, silently praying.

The two little ones also knelt on the ground. Although they didn't yet understand the meaning of prayer, they imitated Gu Yan's actions, putting their hands together, closing their eyes, and silently making a small wish. They hoped that Xuan Yi could get rid of his troubles, that all the older brothers and sisters could be safe and happy, and that they and Sheng Sheng (An An) could always be together.

After they finished praying, Gu Yan led the two out of the Buddhist hall. She gently patted Bai Hongsheng's little head and said, "How is it? Can you relax now?"

"Since this is our first time here, how about we look around and explore?"

Upon hearing that they could continue their visit, the two little ones immediately held hands and ran ahead, enthusiastically exploring every fun spot.

Just as the two were focused on the koi in the pond, Lin Mu'an glanced up and noticed a familiar figure standing in the courtyard not far away.

Lin Mu'an immediately shook Bai Hongsheng excitedly: "Shengsheng, look! Isn't that the older sister we just met in that courtyard over there?"

Bai Hongsheng looked closely and recognized the person as the one he had accidentally bumped into that morning. Remembering that the girl's lost item was in her second sister's possession, he quickly turned and pointed to the courtyard not far away, calling out to Gu Yan, who was buying fish food nearby.

"Second sister, look! It's that sister!"

Hearing the voice, Gu Yan raised his head with some suspicion, looked in the direction Bai Hongsheng was pointing, and immediately understood.

Forget about the fish food he had bought, he shouted to Bai Hongsheng, "Don't move here, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and ran quickly toward the courtyard that Bai Hongsheng had just pointed to.

Lin Mu'an and Bai Hongsheng kept a close eye on the older sister's every move in the courtyard. Just as Gu Yan was getting closer and closer to the courtyard, the older sister suddenly turned around and disappeared.

Gu Yan ran into the courtyard, panting heavily, but it was empty and deserted. She turned to look at the little boy not far away, only to see him waving anxiously at her.

Gu Yan wanted to go outside into the courtyard, but he was worried about leaving Bai Hongsheng and the other person alone outside. After a moment's thought, Gu Yan decided against going any further, calmed his breathing, and turned to leave.
