Feng Bei didn't overthink it. Since they had found the right person, she simply cupped her fists toward Ruchen and said, "Ye Weiyang, Upper Three, Feng Bei. We're looking for a painting tied to a bizarre case, rumored to have been painted by Gongsun Mo two hundred years ago. If Master Hua knows its whereabouts, please tell us. I would be eternally grateful."
"Please, just call me Ruchen. Don't call me Master Hua, I beg you." Ruchen hastily waved his hands, telling Feng Bei not to use that name. When he learned of Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu's reason for being there, a look of sudden realization crossed his face. "So, you two have come for that painting as well!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiu immediately asked, "Where is the painting?"
Ruchen gave a faint smile. "That painting is now in my master's hands."
"And your master is?"
"Master Dengdeng of Yunliu Temple."
"Master Dengdeng?"
Zheng Xiu was taken aback yet again.
That was an even stranger name than "Playful Monk."
