After coming out of the closet in a new set of white robes, Bai Luo looked at Xiao Mo still in bed with a frown. He wanted to scold him after seeing that he still hadn't gotten up, but he realized that Xiao Mo was looking at him with a serious expression.
Bai Luo hesitated for a bit then stared at Xiao Mo with a strange expression on his face and asked.
"Were you being serious?"
"Why not? No one will know whether I marry you or your sister given you are both twins."
Bai Luo thought for a moment. He had to admit the idea was somewhat doable, but he soon shook his head and said.
"It might not work. Others might not know we are twins, but our mother knows, and she might find out if I'm not careful in the Cult. Also, even if we were somehow able to trick her and everyone until the wedding two months from now, it would be impossible during the actual wedding ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo pursed his lips and lowered his head before muttering.
"Fool, that's not what I meant. Who cares if someone finds out?"
Bai Luo's senses were sharp, so he was able to hear Xiao Mo's words even though he was muttering. However, he tilted his head and showed a confused expression as he couldn't understand what he meant by those words.
'Did he want them to go through with this plan even though they could get caught?'
Bai Luo shook his head and put this at the back of his mind. The wedding was two months away, until then he'd try and think up something to help his sister.
However, everything pointed to the fact that under the pressure of two behemoths like the Demonic Cult and the Righteous faction, their unwillingness was inconsequential.
"Get up already."
Bai Luo said as he extended his hand towards Xiao Mo on the bed. His eyes and hair glowed blue before Blue Spiritual Qi appeared on his palm. It then shot towards Xiao Mo and wrapped around him.
'Spiritual Qi extending from the body, he really is in the Master Realm.'
Xiao Mo thought internally but didn't resist and allowed the Spiritual Qi to wrap around him. However, he did feel a bit of frigidness from the Spiritual Qi that wanted to burrow into his pores. With a thought, he blocked out this frigidness with his own Spiritual Qi.
After wrapping Xiao Mo up in his Spiritual Qi, Bai Luo carried him along as he walked towards the wall next to the makeup table. Once there he shifted one of the knick-knacks on the shelves against the wall.
Xiao Mo, who was observing Bai Luo curiously, was taken aback when a hidden trap door suddenly opened on the ground in the middle of the room beneath him. Before he could ask why something like this was inside the room, Bai Luo retracted his Spiritual Qi and dropped him inside.
Xiao Mo reacted quickly and circulated his Spiritual Qi to gently land on the ground four meters down.
"Here's your clothes."
Xiao Mo heard Bai Luo say before his clothes fell through the opening above and landed on his head.
Shifting the clothes from his face, Xiao Mo looked up at Bai Luo and said with discontent.
"Just because you have a higher cultivation realm doesn't mean I don't have any means to deal with you."
Bai Luo rolled his eyes and said.
"This is so no one sees you leaving my sister's courtyard. Take the left corner and you'll reach the exit that leads to my bedroom. I have to meet up with my sister's friends to keep up appearances, so we'll have to talk later."
After saying this, Bai Luo went to leave, but Xiao Mo quickly asked.
"Wait! I wanted to ask, do you have anyone you like?"
Bai Luo looked taken aback when he heard that. He shook his head and said.
"Of course, I do, but why concern yourself with my affairs?"
Xiao Mo felt a bit of relief when he saw Bai Luo shake his head, but his following words caused his heart to drop. Before he could ask any more questions, Bai Luo closed the door and plunged him into gloomy darkness.
Like his current surroundings, Xiao Mo felt like his future was dark and grim. Depressed, he put on his pants and held his upper robes in his hands as he took the left turn in this underground labyrinth.
He didn't have any trouble navigating in the dark, so he quickly reached the end of the path where he saw a small white jade embedded into the stone wall.
After placing his hand on it and channeling his Spiritual Qi into it, faint light poured down onto him as a trap door above was opened.
Even before the door was fully open, Xiao Mo tapped his foot on the ground and floated up through the opening. He entered what looked like a bedroom, though it was filled with numerous books, almost making it unrecognizable as such.
However, rather than focusing on the strange state of the room, Xiao Mo's attention was immediately drawn to the shadowy figure that was seated on the bed to the left of him.
This shadowy figure had what looked like a set of clothes in his hands, he was holding them up to his nose as if he was sniffing them.
When Xiao Mo suddenly emerged from the hidden entrance, the figure stared at him with wide eyes and a stunned expression on his face.
Xiao Mo's expression was equally dumbfounded, not expecting to stumble upon such a strange scene in Bai Luo's bedroom.
After landing on the ground, Xiao Mo glanced at the clothes in the figure's hand and then at the figure's face. With a strange expression on his face, he asked, "You—What were you doing just now?"
The figure quickly recovered from his shock, and while discreetly putting away the clothes in his hand, he forced out a laugh and spoke.
"Young Master Xiao Mo, I didn't expect to meet you so suddenly!"
As it turns out, this shadowy figure sneaking around in Bai Luo's room and sniffing his clothes was the chatty Sung-il Xiao Mo had met at the banquet last night.
