The three of them arrived in the city, where the streets were still bustling and noisy with crowds of people.

Because Fujiwara no Hitoshi did not leave any contact information or address back then.

Therefore, Bai An searched for a long time but found nothing.

Just as he was about to give up, a small hand grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother, is something the matter? Why are you wandering around here?"

The deep, sweet voice of a child drew Bai An's gaze in the direction of the sound.

I saw the little girl grabbing his sleeve.

The little girl was about eight or nine years old.

Her features were delicate and lovely, with bright red eyes, long eyelashes, and slightly parted pink lips.

Bai An was slightly taken aback when he saw her face, which resembled the one in his memory.

He squatted down and touched the little girl's rosy cheeks.

"Little sister, can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Fujiwara no Mokou."

Fujiwara no Mokou tilted her head back, her big pink eyes filled with curiosity.

She didn't understand why those guys were loitering around here. Were they trying to steal something?

Thinking of this, she looked at Bai An and the others with a newfound wariness.

Upon seeing that she was indeed the same girl Mokou from when they were children, Bai An could no longer hide her joy, and she smiled brightly with her eyes narrowed.

"Little sister Meihong, would you like something delicious? I'll treat you to candied hawthorns."

Upon hearing this, his image in Meihong's mind changed from a thief to a human trafficker, making her even more wary.

Although the older brother in front of me is very handsome and doesn't seem like a bad person.

But my mother always said that you shouldn't trust strangers.

Defenses can not do without.

Therefore, she firmly refused, shaking her head to express her attitude.

"Thank you, but my mother said that you shouldn't accept things from strangers."

Bai An's expression stiffened slightly, then she continued her abduction:

“I am not a stranger. I am your father’s friend. My name is Bai An, and I am your father’s older brother.”

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara no Mokou paused for a moment.

He then scrutinized Bai An from head to toe several times with a strange look before slowly speaking.

"Big brother, you don't look much older than me. You're saying you're my father's older brother???"

At this point, Fujiwara no Mokou paused and didn't continue.

But the meaning behind the words was quite clear.

My father is in his thirties, almost forty, so how could he have an older brother who is so much younger than him?

Seeing Fujiwara no Mokou's disdainful look, Bai An's lips twitched.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to dunk on Mokou.

He took out the identity jade pendant given to him by Fujiwara no Fuhito from his backpack.

To prevent any fool from angering his elder brother when he came looking for him, Fujiwara no Fuhito left behind a jade pendant.

It is said that if someone comes to him with this jade pendant, one must not be rude and should try to grant them any request.

Since Fujiwara no Fuhito became the head of the family, every member of the Fujiwara family...

Regardless of status, everyone must abide by this rule. Anyone who dares to disobey will be expelled from the Fujiwara family, and in serious cases, will be killed on the spot.

Fujiwara no Mokou carefully examined the jade pendant in Bai An's hand, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

Her mouth was slightly open, and she looked shocked.

"Are you really Father's eldest brother?"

She asked timidly.

This kind of jade pendant cannot be faked.

But the older brother in front of me doesn't look like my father's brother at all.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? Do you want some candied hawthorn or other snacks? I'll treat you to something delicious, okay?"

Seeing that she no longer questioned him, Bai An quickly pressed his advantage, pointing to a row of food stalls not far away.

"want!"

Upon hearing about food, Fujiwara no Mokou's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Boss, give me five skewers of candied hawthorns!"

Bai An waved his hand and shouted out in a hearty manner, leaving Fujiwara no Mokou, who was standing to the side, stunned.

"Okay~"

The shopkeeper called out and quickly packed five skewers of candied hawthorn and handed them to Bai An.

Looking at the five strings of candied hawthorns, Fujiwara-chan's eyes were sparkling, and a happy smile played on her lips.

She hadn't eaten candied hawthorns in a long time, let alone five skewers.

She picked out one of the hawthorns, put it in her cherry-like mouth, chewed for a few seconds, then stuffed in two more, and finally reluctantly put the candied hawthorn down.

"Brothers, you should eat too!"

She took out a few strings of candied hawthorns from the bag, stood on tiptoe, and handed them to Bai An.

"No need, you can eat it. We don't like candied hawthorns."

Bai An smiled and waved his hand.

Children are innocent; when Bai An said he didn't like it, he happily took it back.

Fujiwara no Mokou was biting into a candied hawthorn, her little cheeks puffed out.

The sweet smell made her lovely eyes squint into slits.

It felt like chewing the best food in the world.

However, as she was eating, she noticed that Bai An was holding a strange object and flashing it at her.

"Big brother, what are you holding in your hand?"

Fujiwara no Mokou blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

From the very beginning, the older brother had been pointing this thing at her; it not only emitted light but also made a clicking sound.

"It's nothing, just one of my unique hobbies."

Bai An smiled and explained, then put the camera into his backpack.

This is one of the biggest gains of his trip. Once she makes a photo album of Mokou's photos from this period, she will definitely share it with Kaguya when she returns to the future.

Fujiwara no Mokou nodded as if she understood, then looked up as if she had thought of something.

"Big brother, are you here to see Father?"

"Yes, but I mainly came to see you."

Bai An gently patted her head and gave her a warm smile.

"Looking for me? Big brother, what do you want with me?"

Fujiwara no Mokou tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked.

She clearly had never met the older brother before, so she really didn't understand why he was looking for her.

"It's nothing, I just want to see you. Can you take me to find your father now?"

Seeing her puzzled look, Bai An smiled but did not answer. Instead, he asked again.

Upon hearing this request, Fujiwara no Mokou's face instantly fell.

But she still nodded in agreement.

Fujiwara no Mokou led Hakuan through the bustling streets.

We arrived at a huge, ancient mansion.

"Big brother, this is our home."

Fujiwara no Mokou stopped in front of the door and turned to look at Bai An.

Because Mokou led the way, there was no obstruction or classic face-slapping scene.

Bai An originally thought that a few guys would come out and block them from entering the mansion.

Then comes the classic act of looking down on people.

Finally, he took out the jade pendant to prove his identity. The other party recognized the jade pendant and was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

It's a pity about the people here.

Aside from being somewhat cold towards Mokou, he did not exhibit any other unusual behavior.

Fujiwara no Mokou led Bai An to a secluded spot in the house, eventually stopping in front of a room.

"Mother."

Fujiwara no Mokou gently knocked on the wooden door, her soft, sweet voice drifting into the room.

Immediately afterwards, a soft footstep sounded, and the door was pushed open.

A beautiful woman with a pretty face and slender figure, dressed in an elegant long dress, walked out, her eyes showing a hint of weariness.

Upon seeing Bai An and the others beside Mokou, she paused slightly, then smiled faintly.

"Please come in, guests. Let's talk things over inside."

She invited Bai An and the others into the house, and after they were seated, she began to ask:
