"Grand Preceptor, have you seen my brother? He didn't go to the tavern all day today, and my sister-in-law is missing too!"
Xiao Yue, who had not seen Gao Yao or Lü Zhi all day, hurriedly sought out Qing Mo at dusk and immediately asked where the two of them had gone.
"Xiao Yue, Old Gao took your sister-in-law and returned to his own era."

"This is the letter Old Gao left for you. He asked me to pass it on.
Take your time reading it. It contains the last words he wanted to say to you."
Qing Mo handed Gao Yao's letter to Xiao Yue. At the same time, he gave her all the deeds to the houses and everything else.

With trembling hands, Xiao Yue slowly opened the envelope. The final words Gao Yao had left for her as her brother immediately came into view.

Old Mo is still here. If you run into any trouble,
