The mistress and her servant were in the garden. Miss Jun'er slouched on the stone table seemingly bored; as for Gong Zixuan, she just read her book quietly. After all, she has been living this lifestyle for over ten years now.

"Mistress, where do you think young master Mo has gone to? I thought he never liked to leave this place, so why did he leave this time? And why is he gone for so long? We couldn't even find him when we wanted to?"

"That's none of your business!" said Gong Zixuan nonchalantly without even looking up.

Jun'er rested her chin in her palms and pouted in dissatisfaction, "Mistress, you can't say that, okay? We have the good intention of introducing a friend to him. It wasn't like we are just looking for him for the fun of it. If he doesn't come back in a year or more, Miss Cheng just might be married by then and he won't stand a chance at all. Hrm. Hrm. A book nerd like him just might never be able to find a wife!"

"Hah!"

Gong Zixuan couldn't help but laughed out loud after hearing Jun'er's words and she wasn't able to keep on reading. She looked at the girl in front of her with her limpid eyes and teased, "Well, if you are so worried about him, why don't we marry you off to him if he really can't find himself a wife, eh? What do you think about that?"

"No! I don't want to marry him! I can't stand his talkativeness! He will drive me crazy!"

Without thinking, Jun'er shook her head vehemently, as though it was some vicious beast that they were talking about, "I think only Miss Cheng will be able to put up with someone like him. We should save him for Miss Cheng!"

"You better watch out that little sister Xiao Xiao won't seek you out to settle the scores with you later!" laughed Gong Zixuan, "I have no idea where Shi Xiong Mo went to. We have sent him a letter over a month ago and haven't heard anything back from him yet. That was truly odd."

"Mistress, he could be kind of silly sometimes, do you think he might be kidnapped?" randomly Jun'er came up with some crazy ideas.

"Now you are just being silly...." Gong Zixuan was looking more serious now, "Shi Xiong Mo just don't comprehend social interaction very well, but he is a very nice person deep down inside. Not to mention that he was such a talented person that only come by once every few hundred years; how could you call him silly?"

"Naturally I don't really mean he's silly; it's just that he seems so clueless sometimes and that makes him looks silly. But that's also what makes him cute. Young Master Mo is a nice person!"

"Okay, the good, the bad, you have listed them all out. I don't even know what goes through that mind of yours. You should spend some time on reading, so you won't say you are bored all the time!"

"Shi mei Gong, are you bored? Would you like your shi xiong to chat with you some? From my calculations, nothing should be bothering you lately."

A familiar voice came from afar. Even before they could see the person, little Jun'er jumped up from the stone bench and shouted out excitedly, "Mistress, Young Master Mo is back!!"

Chirp. Chirp.

As though responding to little Jun'er, a crisp chirping sound from the mystical crane could be heard.

A beam of light shined in Gong Zixuan's eyes. Smiling, she looked up into the sky and saw a mystical crane flying closer and closer to them slowly. On its back was a silhouette that had not changed for the past 20 years. The person and the mystical crane landed in the garden shortly.

"Young master Mo, you are finally back!" Jun'er ran over with uncontainable excitement, as though she had saw some kind of fun toy.

Mo Xuanzun smiled at the one dashing toward him but before he could say anything, Jun'er ran right passed him and threw her arms around the mystical bird who had just came to a complete stop, "Hey there, little crane. Who did you go to play with?"

Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

Hugged by little Jun'er, the proud mystical crane let out distress cries.

"Hehe, little mystical crane. You can chirp all you want, but you are playing with me. Come, I will take you to have some giant salamander, what do you say?" Jun'er kept the mystical crane in a deadlock that it couldn't get out of.

Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

"Oh give it up already. There's no way I am letting you go!"

The human and the crane started a tug-of-war as usual. Mo Xuanzun had no choice but to turn and walked up to the kiosk.

He cupped his hand and greeted the girl with the welcoming smile and said, "Shi mei Gong, long time no see. How has my shi mei Gong been? I haven't seen you visiting the Temple of Divine Plans for a while now."

"Ho ho ho." Gong Zixuan was already used to his rambling. Smiling, she said, "Thank you for asking, shi xiong Mo. I heard you have gone on a trip recently, did you have fun?"

"Aye, I don't even want to talk about it!" said Mo Xuanzun as he took a seat. He didn't look very cheery and even somewhat at loss.

Gong Zixuan was a bit surprised at that. Concerned, she asked, "Shi Xiong Mo, what happened? If you need someone to talk to, I am all ears!"

Gong Zixuan had already thought of her nerdy shi xiong as her own brother. He has had very few encounters with the outside world and has always been pampered at the Temple of Divine Plans, so he was a relative simpler person who are unfamiliar with maliciousness.

But that didn't mean he was ignorant. When it came to calculations, even his master openly admit that he had excelled him. Everyone treated him nicely whole heartedly, which was why he had retained the innocent look in his eyes for his entire 20 years.

"Thank you for asking, shi mei Gong. I am fine, just fine!" Mo Xuanzun felt a little awkward, he didn't want to say anything embarrassing in front of her.

Ever since half a month ago, when he had encountered that mean, little face, he had been thinking about that face day and night. Most importantly, even a genius mathematician like him could not find out her whereabouts through his calculations, let alone who she was!

As a genius mathematician who had never experience failure before, he was taking this quite hard and was very devastated!

Gong Zixuan noticed his odd expression and was baffled, but since he didn't want to elaborate, she didn't want to pry either. "I am glad to hear that you are alright. Shi xiong Mo hasn't been busy lately, have you?"

"No, not really. Lately I have been helping out with my master and taking out my shi di's to take on assignments."

Mo Xuanzun produced a wine bottle and a wine cup from the dimension ring, filled the cup for Gong Zixuan and drank directly from the bottle himself. "I heard that shi mei Gong had been looking for me. Is it something that I can help with? If it is, I will be more than happy to oblige!"

"That is very kind of your, shi xiong! But I don't have any pressing matters!"

Gong Zixuan produced a vine from her bracelet and said, "Shi xiong Mo possesses a wealth of knowledge and is much more knowledgeable than your shi mei. This vine had came into my possession recently, and it seemed to have a mind of its own. I would like shi xiong to take a look at it and tell me what he thinks of it!"

"It sounds wonderful!" Mo Xuanzun's eyes beamed immediately and the hint of unhappiness that was between his brows disappeared instantly.

Holding the vine that was of such bright green color, looking at it left and right, Mo Xuanzun was already extremely fond of it. At the same time, he tried to recall as best he could whether he has ever read about anything like this in the past.

Looking at him quietly, Gong Zixuan did not interrupt him; she picked up the wine bottle from the table and enjoyed the fruit wine made by Mo Xuanzun personally.

It was well known among the four top powers that Mo Xuanzun make an awesome wine. Anyone who had tried it just once would want more of it. But, anyone without some sort of connections would also find it very difficult to get their hands on one of these.

But for Gong Zixuan, it was quite easy. All she needed to do was to ask Mo Xuanzun each time she saw him and he'd gift her some.

"Shi mei Gong, this is no normal vine; can you please tell your shi xiong where you got it from?" He looked up at her, the sparkling in his eyes gave away his fondness of the vine.
