I will burn books and slay gods.

After saying goodbye to Mo Zheng, Chen Ye searched for Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming along the street in the middle of the shops.

"Gurgle—"

Chen Ye noticed that his stomach was now growling.

Chen Ye stared at the three copper coins in his hand, lost in thought. Just then, quite coincidentally, there was a steamed bun stall right in front of him, so Chen Ye walked over to the stall.

"Boss," Chen Ye asked, "how much is one of these steamed buns?"

Seeing Chen Ye approach, the shopkeeper opened the steaming basket and replied, "Three buns for two copper coins. How many would you like, sir?"

Chen Ye looked at the copper coins in his hand. He originally had five, but now he only had three left. Then Chen Ye said to the shopkeeper, "Then give me three."

Then Chen Ye handed two of the three copper coins he had to the shopkeeper. After receiving the coins, the shopkeeper took three steamed buns from the steaming basket, wrapped them in sandpaper, and handed them to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye looked at the steaming hot bun in his hand, took one out of the sandpaper, and it was a little too hot to handle. Then he ate it in big bites, and continued his search for the two people from the bun shop.

After Chen Ye ate one of the three buns, he was still a little hungry, but he was already somewhat full. Then he used sandpaper to rewrap the remaining two buns.

……

Chen Ye had been searching in the city for an unknown amount of time, but by noon he still hadn't found a trace of the two people, which made him start to worry.

The worst-case scenario stirred Chen Ye's interest, until he somehow found himself at a solemn mansion with two large characters written on it: "Mo Mansion".

Outside the main gate of the Mo residence, there was an extremely spacious open space, which made the Mo residence appear even more majestic at this time.

Feeling a bit tired from walking, Chen Ye sat down on the steps below the Mo residence.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in Chen Ye's line of sight, and Chen Ye's figure also appeared in that person's line of sight. The familiar figure walked up to Chen Ye, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "We meet again. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Mo Zheng."

Chen Ye's meeting with Mo Zheng was somewhat coincidental, but he hadn't expected it to be so coincidental. Mo Zheng then said, "You said we'd meet again if fate allowed. Since we are destined to meet, please come to my house and have a seat."

Chen Ye originally didn't want to interact with anyone here, lest it affect future matters. However, it would be impolite for Chen Ye to continue refusing Mo Zheng's invitation.

At Mo Zheng's invitation, Chen Ye followed her into the Mo residence. After entering through the main gate, Chen Ye, at Mo Zheng's invitation, arrived at the banquet hall.

Since entering the mansion, Mo Zheng hadn't asked Chen Ye his name, perhaps for some reason. But this was fine for Chen Ye too, as it allowed him to maintain his distance from her.

After Mo Zheng led Chen Ye into the banquet hall, she said, "Young Master, please wait for a while while I go and call my elders..."

Chen Ye simply nodded slightly.

Not long after, Chen Ye heard footsteps that were different from Mo Zheng's; the footsteps were quite mixed. Chen Ye initially thought it was the owner of the mansion walking towards him, until a tall, handsome man walked in from the entrance of the banquet hall.

The man's eyes were sharp, as were Chen Ye's; the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just then, a familiar voice reached Chen Ye's ears. He then tentatively called out, "Lin Su?"

Suddenly, a familiar head peeked out from behind the man. When Chen Ye looked closely, it was indeed Lin Su. Upon seeing that the person calling her name was Chen Ye, Lin Su excitedly ran out from behind the man and hugged Chen Ye tightly.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoming slowly emerged from behind the man. Chen Ye couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What are you two doing here?"

Lin Su then apologized to Chen Ye, saying, "I'm so sorry about that day, we really are sorry." Chen Ye patted them both on the shoulder indifferently and comforted them, "It's okay, we're all here now, and we've met again."

Chen Ye then asked Lin Su how they got there. Wang Xiaoming explained, "The three of us accidentally separated that day, and Lin Su and I went to look for you again this morning. Lin Su was worried about you and started crying."

When Chen Ye heard that Lin Su had cried because she was worried about him, Lin Su blushed and became shy.

Lin Su then explained to Chen Ye, "This morning, when we were looking for you, we heard on that street that someone was very powerful and directly defeated the second young master of the Wang family. At that time, Wang Xiaoming and I thought that it might have been you who did it."

"After that, we went to that street to look for you. But we couldn't find you. On the way, we met Young Master Mo Xun, and that's how we came here."

Chen Ye listened carefully to what had happened, then approached Lin Su and asked softly, "Why do I feel like there's something else important you haven't told me?"

Upon hearing Chen Ye's question, Lin Su was taken aback for a moment, then explained somewhat awkwardly, "On our way to find you, we encountered Young Master Mo Xun being bullied. That person was the third young master of the Wang family. I couldn't stand their behavior, so I took action. Later, at Young Master Mo Xun's invitation, we came here."

After speaking, Lin Su looked at Chen Ye with a worried expression, her lips curving upwards in fear of being scolded. She saw Chen Ye raise his hand, and Lin Su nervously closed her eyes, but her fears didn't come true.

As Lin Su slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, she saw that Chen Ye had simply scratched his head, revealing his raised hand. Chen Ye hadn't scolded Lin Su; it was merely Lin Su's own worry.

"It's alright," Chen Ye comforted her. "Since we've already taken action, we don't care about anything else."

Just then, several more figures appeared outside the banquet hall and stepped inside. Mo Xun, who was standing at the door, bowed to the middle-aged man at the front, who was tall and slightly overweight with graying temples, and said, "Father."

At the same time, Chen Ye and the other two also bowed to the middle-aged man who had entered, mimicking Mo Xun's gesture, and said, "Greetings, Patriarch Mo."

After Chen Ye and the other two finished their greetings, everyone was stunned for a moment, but no one said anything. The corners of their mouths turned up slightly, as if they were suppressing a laugh.

Then, at the invitation of the Mo family leader, he sat down.

At this moment, the head of the Mo family spoke first, asking Mo Zheng, "And who is this?"

Mo Zheng looked at Chen Ye sitting in front of her, but remained silent for a long time. Just then, Chen Ye spoke up and explained, "Patriarch Mo, I haven't told Miss Mo my name yet. My surname is Chen, and my given name is Ye."

It was only at this moment that Mo Zheng learned Chen Ye's name. At that moment, Chen Ye also introduced Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming to the head of the Mo family.

Just then, Lin Su, who was sitting in a chair, tugged at Chen Ye's clothes and said softly, "Why did you tell them our names? Aren't you worried that it will affect future changes?"

Immediately afterward, Chen Ye explained softly, "I have my reasons." After hearing Chen Ye's explanation, Lin Su did not continue to question Chen Ye, but returned to her chair and observed the situation around her.

At this moment, the head of the Mo family also asked Mo Xun, "Before this attack was explained, did you know the names of the other two people?"

Although the Mo family lord's voice was gentle, his tone revealed extreme anger, which frightened Mo Zheng and Mo Xun so much that they dared not speak.

Sitting to the side, Chen Ye and his two companions, including Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming, couldn't help but start to worry. However, Lin Su glanced at Chen Ye, whose eyes were filled with reassurance, but Lin Su didn't understand his expression.

Just then, the Mo family leader tried to stand up. At this moment, Chen Ye was still intently watching the three of them, without making any move.

But at this moment, Lin Su came to the two of them and pleaded with the Mo family head, "Mo family head, please don't be angry, we didn't mean to..."

Just then, Chen Ye coughed twice and looked at the two of them with a somewhat serious expression. The explanation that was on the tip of his tongue suddenly stopped, and under Chen Ye's gaze, the two returned to their seats.

At the same time, Chen Ye left his seat and stood up, saying, "Master Mo, if you want to know our true identities, there's no need to put on such a show, is there?" Chen Ye stared at Master Mo, his eyes filled with the message, "I've already seen through your thoughts."

At this moment, the head of the Mo family was startled and frowned, but he smiled again and said, "Guest, you are joking. How could we possibly be conducting a rehearsal? I don't like hearing you say that."

Chen Ye did not tone down his voice because of this, but stared into the eyes of the Mo family head again. This time, the gaze made Chen Ye even more certain of his guess. When Chen Ye said the next sentence, the Mo family head was stunned: "Mo family head, if I am not mistaken, we met yesterday, didn't we?"

Upon hearing this, the Mo family patriarch's shock was evident on his face, but he feigned composure and did not directly admit it, saying, "You jest, how could we possibly have met?"

Chen Ye then explained, "Yesterday you not only saw me, but also these two. Or to put it more bluntly, I almost collided with your warhorse."

The moment Chen Ye finished explaining, Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming stood up simultaneously, exclaiming in unison, "It's the man in the black robe from yesterday!"

Wang Xiaoming then realized what was happening and continued, "No wonder, I always felt that the Mo family leader in front of me was very strange, like I had seen him before, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen him before."

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming scurried up to Chen Ye and asked, "Chen Ye, how did you find out that the person we saw that day was the head of the Mo family?"

Chen Ye first gently tapped Wang Xiaoming on the head, "Are you kidding me? When we came to this city, I remember we only spoke to one person, and his voice was so rough. But I can only guarantee an average accuracy rate for this message."

"And the other half is that although the Mo family patriarch is very angry, he is definitely a very gentle person in the entire mansion, and certainly not as irritable as we see him. Because what he shows is gentleness and kindness."

"That's why I guessed that it might be because something we did just now aroused their suspicion, so they put on a good show for us to watch."

After Chen Ye's reasoned explanation, the Mo family head, who was sitting in a chair, stood up first and clapped his hands. "Young Master Chen, you are absolutely right. When I came in, I realized that you were the three people I saw yesterday."

"But I was indeed a little angry when I learned that my children didn't know your names at all. But it wasn't until you and my son made the same gesture of bowing that we became even more certain that you are not from here, or rather, that you are not from this world!"
