Mo Lin said a little embarrassedly: "I also think it is unlikely that an expert would live in a place like this. Are we looking for the wrong place?"
Mo Lin and the others walked for a while and saw a shop in front of them. The plaque directly above the door read "Zhonghua Pavilion!" in three big characters.
The architecture of this Chinese Pavilion is made of pure wood, and its style is very similar to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.
Qi Mingzhi glanced at the situation inside from the outside and said to Mo Lin: "Master Bodhi must be playing tricks on us. The Chinese Pavilion sells handicrafts. There will be experts here who can catch ghosts."
Han Lu looked at the Chinese Pavilion awkwardly and was speechless for a long time. Maybe she really found the wrong place!
"Well... since you're here, let's go in and take a look." Molin suggested.
"Okay, but we have to hurry up, we don't know how we're going to get through tonight yet!"
After saying that, the three of them walked into the Chinese Pavilion. The Chinese Pavilion sold some handicrafts, such as sachets, jade, small wooden swords, wooden combs and other gadgets.
After walking around the first floor, Mo Lin and the others went to the second floor. The four treasures of the ancient study, rice paper scrolls, ancient books, etc. were sold on the second floor. In short, everything here looked antique.
"Hey, Sister Wang, you are here!"
Mo Lin and the others followed the sound and saw a middle-aged woman going up from the first floor to the second floor, followed by a clerk in her twenties.
Sister Wang said with a smile: "Where is your boss? It was thanks to him that my sister's incident happened last time. Today I came here to express my gratitude in person."
The clerk also smiled and said: "The boss is in the pharmacy and will be here in a moment. Sister Wang, please sit down in the tea room on the second floor first."
Sister Wang nodded and sat down to enjoy tea in the tea room next to the Four Treasures of the Study. Mo Lin patted Qi Mingzhi and said, "Well... why don't you go ask this Sister Wang and get some news."
When Qi Mingzhi heard this, he was immediately unhappy and said, "Damn! Why is it me? You two have always thought that there are experts here, so no matter what, you have to go!"
"this……"
Mo Lin looked at Han Lu again, and Han Lu immediately waved her hand at him: "Don't try to influence me, I can't stand it. I think you are the most suitable, Lao Lin!"
"This... I can't lose my face. Besides, how should I tell others this? Do you want me to ask them if the boss of Zhonghua Pavilion is a Taoist priest who catches ghosts as soon as I go up?"
Just as the three of them were squirming and shoving each other away, a young man walked down from the third floor of the Chinese Pavilion. He had fair skin and delicate features with a touch of handsomeness, and handsomeness with a touch of gentleness! The slender bangs cover the eyes, the deep eyes, the high bridge of the nose, in one word: he looks so handsome!
He walked straight down, saw Sister Wang, and said in a fresh and refined voice: "Sister Wang, you've been waiting for a long time!"
Mo Lin, who was arguing on the side, first felt that the voice sounded familiar. The three of them looked there almost at the same time, and they were shocked.
This person turned out to be Li Ao!
Mo Lin, Qi Mingzhi and Han Lu looked at Li Ao in disbelief, their mouths so open that they could put down an egg.
They never expected that the classmate they spent time with would be the owner of the Chinese Pavilion.
Naturally, Li Ao also saw Mo Lin and the others. He walked downstairs and said to Mo Lin and the others, "Please wait here for a moment."
"Sister Wang, let's talk upstairs!"
Sister Wang nodded and followed Li Ao upstairs.
At this time, Mo Lin and the others recovered from their shock. Han Lu said in disbelief: "Li Ao is actually the owner of this store. This... this is impossible. He is only sixteen years old!"
Qi Mingzhi nodded dumbly: "Yes, this store must belong to his parents. He is just helping to manage it. The people we are looking for must be his parents!"
Mo Lin thought of what Li Ao had said to him in school before, and couldn't help but said, "Maybe he is the person we are looking for?"
"Are you kidding me? How old is he?"
"But look, he also receives guests!"
The few people fell into entanglements and quarrels again, and more than half an hour passed before they knew it.
At this time, the previous clerk came to Mo Lin and the others, and he said: "You three, our boss invites you to go to the third floor for a detailed discussion."
"Just look at me and say that Li Ao is the boss of Zhonghua Pavilion. You still don't believe it!" Mo Lin rolled his eyes at Qi Mingzhi and Han Lu: "Don't judge people by their appearance, okay?"
Han Lu and Qi Mingzhi scratched their heads in embarrassment and followed Mo Lin up.
After arriving on the third floor, they were even more eye-opening. The third floor of the Chinese Pavilion was a Chinese herbal medicine hall. The aroma of medicine inside was extremely strong. Looking at the large and small cabinets, it was estimated that there must be hundreds of kinds of herbal medicines here.
The clerk took Mo Lin and the three of them to the innermost room, knocked on the door, and then Li Ao's voice came from inside: "Come in!"
The clerk opened the door, and Li Ao was sitting in front of a wooden square table. There was a book on the table, and Li Ao was flipping through the book casually.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Ao saw Mo Lin and the others and said, "Brother Tao, go ahead and do your work first. Leave the three of them to me."
Liu Tao nodded, turned and left.
Li Ao stood up and said, "Stop standing at the door. Come in and talk. How did you three find me here?"
Han Lu hesitated and said: "Well... we heard from a friend that there are a lot of fun things here... come and take a look, come and take a look."
Mo Lin couldn't help but ask: "Li Ao, do you really open this store?"
Li Ao said casually: "This store belongs to my senior sister. She doesn't often come here, so she left it to me to take care of."
"Oh! So you are not the owner of this store, your senior sister is!" Qi Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mo Lin, "Then it seems we should find his senior sister!"
"Hey, what do you mean?" Li Ao said with a dark face: "What do you mean I am not the owner of this store? This Zhonghua Pavilion has been in my hands for three years, and my senior sister has never asked about it during this period."
"Do you think I am the owner of this store?"
Han Lu asked: "But do you know how to run a business?"
"Um... I understand a little, I understand a little!" Li Ao said: "I don't understand how it is possible to open such a big store, haha."
Mo Lin and the others still didn't believe it and looked at Li Ao questioningly.
When Li Ao saw Mo Lin and the others looking at him like this, he immediately changed the subject: "Hey, what did you mean by coming to see my senior sister just now? And why do you care so much about who the owner of this store is?"
Mo Lin told Li Ao what he had experienced without reservation, including what Master Bodhi said.
"Oh, it turns out to be Master Bodhi!" Li Ao said, "But do you think I can help you?"
