The one who claimed to have successfully deciphered the secret message was a Han Chinese scholar. This scholar appeared chubby and fair-skinned, looking to be in his thirties, with a naive and endearing demeanor, yet oddly sporting a full beard, which made him look rather peculiar. He held a folding fan in his hand, occasionally flicking it, bearing a guise of a scholar gone rogue.
Wang Baobao, who was originally pondering over the matter of Master Ku, instantly perked up upon hearing this. He stood up from the Taishi Chair, walked quickly to the front of the speaking Han Chinese scholar, and asked, "Mr. Xiao Song, what exactly have you discovered? Hurry and tell us!"
It turned out that the name of this Han Chinese scholar contained the character "Song," and coincidentally, so did his father's name. Hence, everyone called him Mr. Xiao Song, while his father was referred to as Old Mr. Song.
