Uncle Mo wiped his sweat with his sleeve.
"I met that man at a manor outside the city when I was copying calligraphy and paintings for someone."
"At the time, he was helping out at the manor, raising dogs and tending to birds. He was a real expert at it."
"And then?" Qin Wen asked.
"How did he end up in the city?"
Uncle Mo said, "After we got to know each other, we'd often drink and play chess."
"Then, just a few days ago, he suddenly said he wanted to move into the city and asked me to help cover for him."
Bai Mo and Qin Wen exchanged a glance.
'This whole thing sounds fishy. If he wants to move in, he should just move in. Why the need for a cover story?'
'This Uncle Mo is a bold one, daring to let a man of unknown origin stay in his home.'
"He gave me fifty Spirit Stones."
Uncle Mo said with a sigh.
"I fell ill a while back. If it weren't for those fifty Spirit Stones, I'm afraid I would have been a goner."
