1. Chapter One: Tengwang Pavilion - Only poverty remains constant. The butler opened the door a crack and cautiously peeked out. He saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom and outstanding looks. His lo

"It's not too much trouble... I can do it myself... Huh? Huh!"
Shen Yebai suddenly moved closer to Qin Moyu and, taking advantage of Qin Moyu's momentary daze, quickly tied up his storage bag: "No trouble at all."
Shen Yebai's movements were too swift and smooth. Before Qin Moyu could react, Shen Yebai had already tied it up, and in the position that Qin Moyu usually hung it in.
Since the knot was already tied, Qin Moyu couldn't say anything.
"Mo Yu, aren't you going to check if anything is missing?" Shen Yebai's lips curled up slightly.
"...No need." Qin Moyu still trusted Shen Yebai, but looking at the distance between herself and Shen Yebai, she fell into deep doubt. "Were we this close before?"
“I don’t mind being closer.” As expected, Shen Yebai saw Qin Moyu’s ears turn red, and he found Moyu even more adorable.
But before he could continue teasing, Master Xuanjing pulled Qin Moyu behind him and stood between the two of them, shamelessly acting as a third wheel. He smiled on the surface but had already cursed Shen Yebai several times in secret: "But I mind."
Shen Yebai gave a forced smile: "You're really meddling in other people's business."
"This is called helping those in need when you see injustice on the road," Master Xuanjing chuckled.
Unseen sparks crackled and burned between the two, while Qin Moyu, the source of all the conflict, silently distanced herself from them.
Qin Moyu: I can't stop these two from fighting.
Fortunately, the two were mindful of their boundaries and glared at each other for a while without actually fighting as Qin Moyu had feared. Qin Moyu was also puzzled. He could get along well with either of them when he was alone, but he didn't know why these two were like enemies as soon as they met, as if they were born to be incompatible.
Seeing that things had calmed down, Xuanqing quickly stepped in to mediate, saying, "It's getting late, let's go inside."
No one objected.
Like the library, the treasure pavilion is equipped with a "fellow villager" formation. However, unlike the undefended library, it is guarded at the entrance and has many traps and mechanisms inside, making it like a maze. People who are not familiar with the area will probably perish on the outer layer. Even if they manage to get through, there are still several formations blocking the way at the end, and they can only pass through with a special token. It can be said that the defense has been taken to the extreme.
Xuan Qing led the way, followed by three others. To prevent Xuan Jing Zhenren and Shen Yebai from having another argument, Qin Moyu walked between them.
The commotion that morning came and went inexplicably. However, it eased Qin Moyu's unease with Shen Yebai. He asked Shen Yebai in a low voice, "Are you really okay coming out like this?"
"It's alright. I told Sect Master Xuanqing that he brought me here."
"Oh, I see." Qin Moyu seemed to understand, but then, remembering Shen Yebai's injured appearance yesterday, she frowned and asked, "And your injury? Is it any better?"
"Of course," Shen Yebai chuckled. "With the pills left by Momo, any injury will be healed."
"Those are pills, not miracle cures that can bring the dead back to life. They're not that magical." Qin Moyu scoffed, seemingly unimpressed by Shen Yebai's sweet talk, though her eyes started darting around again.
Ah, this thing is really pretty. Uh, that one looks nice too.
Shen Yebai smiled without saying a word.
It's unbearable to watch—Master Xuanjing watched the two whispering and interacting, his face full of disgust. He decided that when Qin Moyu returned, he would use his status as an old Taoist priest to give him a serious lecture, and it would be best to make Moyu and Shen Yebai break up completely, so that Shen Yebai could cry then.
Their goal was a box stored in the treasure vault.
The palm-sized box was placed deep inside, protected by multiple arrays. The box was engraved with intricate
