The Honglu Temple in Chang'an City has been very lively recently.

Because Gan Country is holding a Succession Ceremony, all nations have sent delegations to attend. Even Chu Kingdom, which is currently at war with Gan Country, has sent a delegation. This is the etiquette between nations. Even though warfare continues on the front lines, the proper courtesies will absolutely not be lacking.

After all, many things are not black and white.

Just like how Chu Kingdom and Gan Country are fighting fiercely in the Jiang Kingdom Territory right now, yet they are cooperating closely on the Later Qin border. Furthermore, the royal merchants of both countries are even taking the lead in mutual trade.

Therefore, Chu Kingdom sent a delegation to attend this Succession Ceremony of Gan Country long ago. They arrived in Gan Country before the new year, and the delegation was personally led by Princess Xiao Ziyin.

At this moment, in the courtyard where Xiao Ziyin was staying, she was meeting a youth. This person had an ordinary appearance and dressed very simply. The only remarkable thing was his exceptionally calm demeanor. Even when facing Xiao Ziyin, a high-ranking and powerful princess, he remained composed and at ease.

This person was currently the most talked-about martial arts prodigy in Chu Kingdom. Before reaching the age of thirty, he was already the third strongest expert in Chu Kingdom, second only to Dharma Master Liansheng and Chu Emperor Xiao Zhaolin.

"Young Master Ye," Xiao Ziyin said with a light laugh, sitting in the main seat. "We've been in Gan Country for quite some time now. You don't seem to be in a hurry to find the Treasure Map? If I remember correctly, you only have four Treasure Maps. That's not enough for you to find the Cold Mountain Treasury!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and directly took out four palm-sized pieces of parchment from his bosom. He placed them on the table and said, "If Your Highness is interested in these Treasure Maps, I will give them to you!"

Xiao Ziyin asked with doubt, "Young Master Ye, didn't you travel thousands of miles from Chu Kingdom to Gan Country precisely for the Cold Mountain Treasury?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you...?"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "These things have no meaning to me. To be honest, Your Highness, I don't like to fight for things. I've always believed in Fate. If something is mine, it will naturally come to me. If it's not mine, I won't force it."

Xiao Ziyin praised, "Young Master Ye's Realm is truly high!"

Ye Chen stood up and said, "Your Highness, if there's nothing else, I shall take my leave. When I was in Chu Kingdom, I heard that Chang'an has three wonders: the Morning Bell and Evening Drum, the Underground Ghost City, and the Sleepless Chang'an. I must go and experience them!"

Xiao Ziyin stood up to see him off and said, "This is Gan Country, after all. Our identity as people of Chu Kingdom here is somewhat awkward. Young Master Ye, please be careful. If you encounter any trouble, send someone to notify me immediately!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but..." Ye Chen said confidently, "I don't think I'll run into any trouble."

As they chatted, Xiao Ziyin escorted Ye Chen to the entrance. Standing at the entrance were two swordsmen, one dressed in black and the other in white. One had a stern face, and the other had a gentle face. They were very distinctive.

These two were not simple. They were the most renowned twin swordsmen in Chu Kingdom, both Grandmaster Figures. The black-clothed swordsman was named Chang Qi, and the white-clothed swordsman was named Chang Liu.

The two men cupped their fists and bowed to Xiao Ziyin, then followed Ye Chen on either side as he left.

Xiao Ziyin watched Ye Chen and the two others leave and murmured, "This Ye Chen... is truly strange. Not only is his luck incredibly Defying Heaven, but even the people around him seem to benefit from his good fortune."

The female official beside Xiao Ziyin said, "The Chang brothers were only second or third-rate swordsmen in the martial world. But ever since they joined Ye Chen, in just a few short years, they've had all sorts of fortunate encounters and both achieved the reputation of Grandmaster!"

Xiao Ziyin said, "Ye Chen and Gu Mo are both people who defy reason."

As she spoke, Xiao Ziyin turned and walked back into the courtyard, saying as she walked, "Burn those maps Ye Chen just gave me. Then, create some fakes and put them on the Black Market to confuse people and stir up trouble in Chang'an City."

The female official hurriedly said, "Your subordinate understands, but Your Highness, I'm a little worried. That Ye Chen is too strange. I'm afraid even if there's no map, he'll still stumble upon the Cold Mountain Treasury!"

"It doesn't matter," Xiao Ziyin said. "If this can fall into Ye Chen's hands, then it means this person truly has destiny on his side. The Emperor asked this princess to bring Ye Chen to Gan Country this time precisely to borrow Ye Chen's luck. Then my plan will only go smoother."

The female official nodded and said, "I hope Ye Chen's luck is truly that effective, allowing us to find the whereabouts of the Dabie Divine Monk!"

After speaking, The female official picked up the few pieces of parchment on the table, but still hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, the Cold Mountain Treasury, don't we want to try and get it?"

Xiao Ziyin sneered, "In Chang'an City, if we try to get it, aren't we just doing hard labor for Gan Country? If there's truly Riches Equal to a Country, do you think Gan Country would let us take it away?"

"Your Highness speaks the truth."

Immediately, the female official directly burned the few pieces of parchment.

The fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.

Gu Mo brought Gu Chundong and Hongyi to Chang'an City. This time, they didn't bring the zither player, as someone needed to watch the house, and the zither player was busy setting up formations at the Gu family mansion and didn't have time to go out.

"Chundong, Chundong, over here!"

As soon as they arrived outside the gates of Chang'an City, they heard Princess Chengyang Li Li's voice. Gu Chundong turned around and saw a carriage parked by the roadside. Li Li was getting out of the carriage.

Gu Chundong dismounted and walked over. Li Li jumped up and pounced on Gu Chundong, saying, "I've been waiting for you here since early this morning!"

Gu Chundong smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you in the letter that I'd arrive around noon? Why did you come so early?"

"I missed you," Li Li said. "Let me tell you, I recently met a master clay figurine maker, he's incredibly skilled. I'm telling you, the clay figurines he makes are just like real ones. I had him make one in my likeness, and it's exactly the same. I'll take you to see him tomorrow and have him make one for you too!"

Gu Chundong asked, "Is it more lifelike than my brother's wood carvings?"

Li Li thought for a moment and said, "How should I put it? It's different. Although your brother's wood carvings are lifelike, they're still made of wood, and you can tell they're fake at a glance. But the clay figurines made by that clay figurine master are different. His look like real people. Ah, you'll know when you come to my house later."

After speaking, Li Li got off Gu Chundong and looked at Gu Mo and Hongyi riding over on horseback. Her expression immediately turned grave, and she asked, "That beautiful older sister is here too? Did she steal your sister-in-law's position?"

"No," Gu Chundong said. "She can't be my sister-in-law. Didn't we say last year at your house? Hongyi is my brother's maid!"

Li Li pouted and said, "She's so beautiful, 'maid' is just an identity. 'Sister-in-law' can be a new identity!"

"Ah, I don't know how to explain it to you," Gu Chundong said. "But it's impossible for her to be my sister-in-law!"

Li Li hugged Gu Chundong's arm and said, "Then I don't care, anyway, you and I are the best!"

Saying that, Li Li said to Gu Mo, "Great Hero Gu, why don't you stay at my place?"

Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "Chundong can go to your place. I'll stay at Old Ye's."

Gu Mo naturally couldn't live in the Princess Mansion. After all, Li Li was still unmarried, and it would be easy to stir up gossip if a grown man like him lived there. Moreover, their identities were both unusual, and being together would easily lead to speculation.

Additionally, he needed manpower to move things from the Corpse Cocoon Cave. It was most suitable to ask Ye Jinglan for help. After all, Ye Jinglan had a group of confidants under him who had followed him since his days in Qingzhou. They were highly skilled in martial arts and did things cleanly and efficiently, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

"Alright then!"

Li Li immediately agreed. For her, inviting Gu Mo was just a casual remark; her true objective from the beginning was Gu Chundong.

Just then, Ye Jinglan rode his horse out of the city. He dismounted and cupped his fists, saying, "I originally planned to come earlier to wait for you, but just before leaving, Brother Su stopped me to help investigate a case."

Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "It's fine. I can find the way myself."

"Brother Ye," Gu Chundong called out.

"Sister Chundong," Ye Jinglan cupped his fists in greeting.

"You two chat slowly. Chundong and I will go have some fun first!" Li Li said.

Gu Mo gave Hongyi a look, and Hongyi immediately followed. Her main duty was to protect Gu Chundong's safety.

Ye Jinglan watched Hongyi leave and said, "Princess Chengyang mentioned before that you brought back a very beautiful girl from your trip overseas last year. I thought Princess Chengyang was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Gu Mo smiled and didn't say much. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Any progress on the Cold Mountain Treasury?"

Ye Jinglan shook his head. "This matter has become quite troublesome. Recently, a large number of treasure maps have appeared in the black market in Chang'an City, causing various disputes and leading to many cases. I haven't rested since I returned these past few days."

"Is someone behind this?" Gu Mo asked.

Ye Jinglan nodded slightly. "Based on the clues we have so far, it is indeed someone deliberately creating chaos behind the scenes. Their purpose is not yet clear. However, this is a special period, and we worry that someone might be tampering with the Succession Ceremony.

The most important thing is, outsiders don't know, but we do. That so-called Cold Mountain Treasury is a sinkhole. If that Poison Bead erupts, it will be a disaster."

Gu Mo said, "What about the clues from the eight maps?"

Ye Jinglan replied, "We are investigating, but it's very difficult. After all, there are eight countries, one map per country. We've found the one in our Gan Country, but there are no clues for the others yet. We also dare not search openly, as it would alert people and let them know about the existence of the Poison Bead.

But so far, the good news is that we have one treasure map. Others cannot piece together the complete one, so the possibility of finding the Cold Mountain Treasury is slim."

Gu Mo said, "But we must hurry. That old undying Qi Miaoxuan might be too busy to spare any effort for now, but once he's free, the treasure map won't matter anymore."

Ye Jinglan nodded. "His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter and has specifically arranged for people to investigate and search in Chang'an City. As for me, I can't help it. I'm not skilled in this area, so I haven't gotten too involved. These recent cases have already driven me to distraction.

However, Brother Su Ziyou of the Court of Judicial Review and Brother Zhuo Qingfeng of the Six Doors are not much better off than me. Especially Brother Su, he's been so tormented by the Flesh-Eating Ghost Case lately that he can barely eat or sleep, and his hair has turned white. This morning, he even came to me for help. He's starting to suspect there are moles within the Court of Judicial Review and has borrowed a group of my men."

Gu Mo asked with doubt, "The Flesh-Eating Ghost Case? What's going on?"

Ye Jinglan explained, "Since before the New Year, there have been a series of murder cases in Chang'an City, and several of them were committed in broad daylight. The methods are consistent: the victims' heads were removed, and their brains were eaten."

However, the weird part is that currently, all thirteen registered Flesh-Eating Ghost Cases have eyewitnesses. But the murderers identified by the eyewitnesses are either seven people who have already died, or six suspects who have alibis and almost no ability to commit the crime."

Gu Mo asked, "Then, Brother Su, why do you suspect the Court of Judicial Review?"

"Because Brother Su has pursued the murderers twice, cornering them, but the murderers vanished into thin air in the end," Ye Jinglan said. "Suspecting a mole in the Court of Judicial Review was just an angry remark. The main reason is doubt about the strength of those constables in the Court of Judicial Review!"

After speaking, Ye Jinglan chuckled and said, "If Brother Su knew you came to the Capital City, he would shamelessly beg for your help. After all, you are the Wanted Criminal Bane. Now, this case has been designated by the Court of Judicial Review as a case where a master of disguise has impersonated others to commit the crime. The wanted codename is 'Evil Ghost,' with a bounty of Three Thousand Liang!"

Just then, A System Prompt sounded in Gu Mo's mind:

[Detected new target]

[Wanted Target--Evil Ghost?]

[Mission Level--Six Stars]

[Mission Reward--Max Level One Sword Separates Worlds]

One Sword Separates Worlds, originating from The Sword and the Chess of Death, is a martial art that pushes the application of Sword Qi to its extreme. Its core is the condensation of Sword Qi into form, capable of defeating enemies across worlds.

Cultivators can compress all their internal energy into a single, extremely thin spiral of Sword Qi. When fired from the sword tip, it creates the "separates worlds" effect—the Sword Qi distorts space the instant it contacts the target.

This martial art doesn't offer much of a boost to Gu Mo at his current level. However, its martial concept of condensing Sword Qi to the extreme is very helpful to Gu Mo. It's very similar to Qi Miaoxuan's previous technique; with a simple finger flick, the attack was maximized.

Looking at the system's prompt, Gu Mo was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to trigger a six-star wanted criminal.

After all, the Grand Manager, one of the three major wanted criminals in Gan Country, was only a six-star. To date, Gu Mo had only killed five six-star wanted criminals.

He hadn't expected that such a case, which hadn't caused much of a stir, would be a six-star case.

However, when he saw the question mark behind the target's name, he understood. This was like Qi Miaoxuan's wanted criminal alias, Tie Hanshan. This "Evil Ghost" definitely had other wanted identities; "Evil Ghost" was just one of its aliases.

Immediately, Gu Mo said, "I think you can remind Brother Su to investigate those wanted criminals with significant criminal influence, similar to the Grand Manager or the Human-Faced Demon Beast. By comparing them, you might find a clue!"

"Why?" Ye Jinglan asked, confused.

Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "I have a premonition that the identity of this 'Evil Ghost' is not simple. Don't ask me how I know. I can only say that when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, anything can trigger a unique sense."

Ye Jinglan looked suspicious and said, "I didn't read much. Don't try to deceive me?"

Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "It's guaranteed."

Ye Jinglan nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll notify Brother Su in a while."

"By the way," Gu Mo asked, "Have you refined the Kirin Bone yet?"

Ye Jinglan shook his head slightly and said, "Still a bit short. Ever since I returned to the Capital City, I've been busy and haven't had much time to refine the Kirin Bone."

Gu Mo was surprised and said, "That's strange. Back then, you, Ye Jinglan, were willing to risk your life to cooperate with Qi Miaoxuan in pursuit of power. You entered the Capital City to become an official for the same reason, so why have you put aside improving your strength now?"

Ye Jinglan chuckled and said, "People always change. I did indeed obey Qi Miaoxuan's orders to become an official in the court for the sake of gaining power. However, in the process, I found a greater life goal, such as using my martial arts to defend this country. I used to pursue the value of strength alone; now, I pursue the realization of life's value through the value of strength."

Gu Mo gave him a thumbs-up and praised, "Brother Ye, I think you might make history in the future!"

Ye Jinglan laughed and said, "Marquis titles and official positions don't hold much appeal for me, but if you talk about making history, I don't think many men can refuse that!"

Gu Mo laughed and said, "Then you should really refine the Kirin Bone properly and elevate your martial arts to the next level. You'll be able to do even more."

"I understand," Ye Jinglan said. "It's just that Chang'an City is in a special period right now. The Succession Ceremony cannot afford any mistakes, otherwise, it will shake the morale of the troops on the frontline. Also..."

Ye Jinglan paused and transmitted his voice, saying, "After the Succession Ceremony, His Majesty will personally lead the expedition. I will accompany him. Therefore, right now, I must help His Majesty clear Chang'an City and prepare for the Crown Prince to govern the country next."

"The Emperor is going to lead the expedition?" Gu Mo was surprised.

Ye Jinglan sighed and transmitted his voice, saying, "Actually, the situation on the frontline is not optimistic. It's just that the court is worried about shaking the nation's resolve to fight, so they are deliberately blocking the news. In reality, our frontline is not just a matter of lacking money; the situation is already very tense. If His Majesty does not personally lead the expedition, I'm afraid that within half a year, the army's morale will be shattered by the Chu Kingdom!"

Gu Mo exclaimed, "It's already reached this point!"

"Otherwise, if it weren't absolutely necessary, how could His Majesty personally lead the expedition and risk his own life?" Ye Jinglan said.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

A moment later, Ye Jinglan spoke again, "By the way, Brother Gu, you wrote to me earlier saying you wanted to borrow some people to move things left by the Plague God from the Ghost City. When are you planning to go?"

Gu Mo said, "Tomorrow... Huh?"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Mo suddenly froze slightly. He sensed something in his Divine Sense; the restriction he had placed at the bottom of the abyss in the Corpse Cocoon Cave had been triggered.

Ye Jinglan noticed Gu Mo's expression change and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Brother Gu."

Gu Mo slowly said, "The Spiritual Restriction I left in the Corpse Cocoon Cave has been triggered. I'm afraid we have to go to the Ghost City right now."

"Is there a Master? Qi Miaoxuan?" Ye Jinglan asked nervously. "Only Qi Miaoxuan should know the Plague God's hiding place, right?"

"It's probably an accidental intrusion!" Gu Mo said. "If it were Qi Miaoxuan, he wouldn't have triggered my restriction."

"Then I'll go gather people immediately. We'll head to the Corpse Cocoon Cave right away!"

Beneath the abyss outside the market town of the Corpse Cocoon Cave, the underground river flowed turbulently. Stones occasionally fell, and the sounds they made were instantly drowned out by the rushing water.

This abyss, no one knows how deep it is, nor how swift the water current below is. Even fewer know that there's a karst cave in the center of this abyss. However, at this moment, someone does know: Ye Chen, who came from the Chu Kingdom.

Half a day ago, Ye Chen and his two swordsman subordinates came to the Underground Ghost City for a visit. Because they didn't understand the darkness of the Underground Ghost City, they were cheated out of a lot of money and even tricked onto a dilapidated boat. Fortunately, the three of them were Martial Arts Masters, so there was no danger to their lives. They drifted and eventually arrived at the Corpse Cocoon Cave.

However, by sheer coincidence, the person who cheated them also appeared at the Corpse Cocoon Cave. Ye Chen immediately made a move to capture him. But that person was a Local Tyrant of the Corpse Cocoon Cave area, with the help of the local gang, he actually escaped from Ye Chen's grasp.

During the chase, Because Ye Chen didn't know the terrain of the Corpse Cocoon Cave, he fell into the abyss along with the swindler. Then, the swindler fell into an underground river of unknown depth. Ye Chen didn't even have time to use any survival techniques and just happened to land on a narrow ledge less than a foot wide outside this karst cave.

He even had the good intention of pulling the swindler up. Unexpectedly, he happened to grab a bag from the swindler's waist. Not only was the money he was cheated out of inside, but there was also much more wealth.

However, for this kind of thing, Ye Chen was already accustomed to it.

He took out a fire starter for light and walked into the karst cave.

This karst cave was very ordinary. With the firelight, one could see its entire appearance at a glance. It was quite spacious, about two zhang square, but there was nothing else besides a few stalactites.

Just then, He heard a sound from outside. When he walked out, he saw Chang Qi with a rope tied around him, holding a dagger that could slice iron like mud in one hand, slowly sliding down. In the other hand, he held a torch.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Chang Qi asked hurriedly when he saw Ye Chen.

Ye Chen chuckled, "A Qi, you still don't know who I am? What could happen to me?"

Chang Qi stood on the high platform and said, "Well, Young Master, shall we go up now? Chang Liu is waiting above. Let him pull us up."

"Tell Ah Liu to wait a while. Let's go into the cave and take a look," Ye Chen said.

Chang Qi asked doubtfully, "Is there anything inside the cave?"

"No," Ye Chen replied.

"Then what are we looking at?" Chang Qi was confused.

Ye Chen said, "It's strange that there's nothing. I wouldn't have fallen off a cliff for no reason."

Chang Qi quickly retorted, "It wasn't for no reason! It was an accident!"

Ye Chen chuckled, "A Qi, you've been with me for two or three years. How are you still not used to it? There are no accidents when it comes to me. All accidents are blessings. This cliff is so high, and the underground river below is so turbulent. Given this level of danger, this blessing probably won't be small."

"This..."

Chang Qi was stunned for a moment, then immediately circulated his cultivation to transmit his voice.

This karst cave was twenty zhang from the surface, but for a master like A Qi, transmitting sound twenty zhang was very easy.

Immediately, Chang Qi followed Ye Chen into the karst cave.

However, even with Chang Qi holding the torch and the considerable light it provided, they still couldn't find anything in the karst cave.

Chang Qi held the torch and searched back and forth, checking every corner. Finally, he returned to Ye Chen's side helplessly and said, "Young Master, there's nothing here!"

Ye Chen chuckled, "Don't rush. I don't need to look for it; fortune will come to me..."

As he spoke, Ye Chen leaned against the stone wall beside him.

However, with just that lean, As his fingertip touched the rough texture of the stone wall, the dark blue energy wave pulsed like a living thing along his palm. The stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling suddenly exuded a pale white liquid. The fixed tips of the stalactites curled and twisted like octopus tentacles, and the liquid drops that fell to the ground struck circles of profound runes.

"Crack—"

The stone wall on the right suddenly cracked with spider web-like fissures. Green mist seeped out and condensed in mid-air into a flowing star chart. The scene before their eyes changed completely in an instant, leaving only a series of hazy light screens. Nothing else could be seen.

"What... what's going on?"

Seeing the change before him, Chang Qi was somewhat surprised. He swung his long sword, but couldn't break through the light screen. When he moved forward, the light screen also moved forward. When he stepped back, the colorful and brilliant light screen retreated with him.

For a moment, Chang Qi became somewhat flustered and shielded Ye Chen, saying, "Young Master, be careful, this place is too strange!"

But Ye Chen was very calm. "A Qi, relax. Let's wait and see. In a while, this thing will either break on its own and reveal its true form, or someone will come to help us break it!"

As Ye Chen's words fell, The strange light screens before them actually dissipated directly.

And a stone gate appeared on the stone wall in front of them. Through the gap in the door, they could clearly see an underground palace illuminated by many luminous pearls.

Just as Ye Chen was preparing to explore the underground palace, a voice came from the entrance of the karst cave. He quickly turned his head to look and saw Chang Liu, bound by ropes and thrown at the cave entrance in a disheveled state.

Ye Chen asked doubtfully, "A Liu, what happened to you..."

Chang Liu hurriedly said, "Young Master, there's a master!"

Ye Chen frowned.

At this moment, a group of people walked into the entrance of the karst cave. However, Ye Chen's gaze stopped on the first two people. Although both were very young, their demeanor was extraordinary, completely different from the others. One carried a saber, and the other carried a sword.

The one carrying the saber looked noble, with a palpable pressure emanating from him. The other, carrying a sword, appeared to be no more than twenty years old, with a very ethereal aura.

These two were Ye Jinglan and Gu Mo.

Ye Jinglan sized up Ye Chen, cupped his fists, and said, "My friend, this is private land. If you've stumbled in by mistake, please leave. If you're deliberately forcing your way in, then let's settle this!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and cupped his fists. "Apologies, my friend. I was pursuing bandits and accidentally fell in, stumbling into this place. I didn't realize it was private land. Hmm, if anything is damaged, I'm willing to compensate!"

Ye Jinglan was somewhat taken aback. He hadn't expected the person before him to be so easy to talk to. After all, anyone who saw the scenery in this karst cave would know there was a great opportunity or treasure here. Even if they knew it was occupied, they wouldn't willingly let it go.

But the person before him was surprisingly straightforward.

Immediately, Ye Jinglan said, "No need for compensation."

As he spoke, Ye Jinglan crouched down and untied Chang Liu, who was bound. He helped Chang Liu up and said to Ye Chen, "Apologies, there was a misunderstanding with your subordinate just now. However, I only tied him up; I didn't injure him."

Ye Chen's eyes were full of surprise. "My subordinate is exceptionally skilled. For you to capture him without injury, you must not be a nobody. I am Ye Chen of the Chu Kingdom. May I ask for your names?"

Ye Jinglan was surprised. "You are the Chosen One, Ye Chen?"

Ye Chen cupped his fists. "Your Excellency has heard of me?"

Ye Jinglan said, "Your name is like thunder in my ears. I am Ye Jinglan of the Gan Country." He then introduced Gu Mo. "This is the great hero of the Gan Country, Gu Mo!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he said with pleasant surprise, "So it's the Number One Under Heaven, Gu Mo Great Hero, himself! I was wondering who had such presence. I am Ye Chen, and I've long admired Great Hero Gu!"

Gu Mo cupped his fists slightly.

Then, Ye Chen rubbed his hands together and asked with a smile, "Great Hero Gu, are you interested in recognizing a Big Brother? Come follow me, and I guarantee you'll reach new heights!"

Gu Mo: "??"

Ye Jinglan: "!! So arrogant?"
