Chapter 267 Fake or Real?
Wu Long cleaned Cao Mei with warm wet towels and then dry ones, gently laying her into the bed and covering her with the bed covers, tucking her in. He smiled and brushed off a lock of short hair from her face and kissed her on the forehead.
He then clothed himself and went out of the room, going through the corridors and arriving at a certain room.
He came in and as his eyes flashed with profound patterns, touched a wall, his Spiritual Qi running across it and then as if water being poured collects into trenches, it was gathered into a pattern, revealing an array.
The bed slid to the side, revealing a cave staircase, and he went in, descending into the rocky peak the mansion stood on as the passage closed behind him on its own after a certain period of time passed.
He went down the stairs for a long time until he came down into a rather large cave hall that had entrances to several caves.
“Cui’er, are you sure about this?”
“Don’t worry Sister, how do you think I snuck out with everyone thinking I was still in seclusion?”
Soon, familiar voices resounded in whispers, deep down in the caves, slowly approaching the cave hall Wu Long descended to.
“But still, someone must know of these passages”
“Heh, I found out about them in old records, even older than the Wood Spirit Empire. They were coded in a music sheet, and only a prodigy like me could decipher them, hahahaha!”
The proudness in the voice could be felt without seeing the expression of the one talking.
“Cui’er! Be quiter! What if someone hears you?”
A startled whisper came back in response.
“Heh! This stuck-up sect doesn’t entertain guests at all. Why do they even need an area for guests? Don’t worry! I guarantee you that there is no one on this entire peak, let alone these secret caves”
“It is better to be safe than sorry”
“What are you afraid of? I said there’s no one- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! There’s someone there!!!”
“Aaaaah!!!”
Gong Cui appeared from around the corner with a proud and confident smile and screamed out in fright as she stumbled upon a figure leaning on a wall.
By reflex, when Gong Cui started screaming Gong Liwei screamed out as well as the lantern she held almost fell out of her hand.
“Nice to see you are both in good health”
A familiar to them voice said with a chuckle as they were already turning to run. They froze, and as Gong Liwei also turned the corner to shine the lantern on the figure leaning on the wall they saw a familiar handsome face looking at them with an amused expression and a glint of laughter in his eyes.
“M-Mister Wu?!?!”
Gong Liwei exclaimed in shock.
“I-it’s a fake!!! Sister it’s a fake! Let’s run!!!”
Gong Cui said with rattling teeth as her hair stood up and her skin was covered in goosembumps.
“What nonsense are you spouting it’s Mister Wu”
“…Sister… That good guy’s in the capital”
She said and Gong Liwei froze as goozebumps started spreading on her as well, her face becoming paler, an expression of horror appearing on it.
“Hahaha, you both are as entertaining as before. I am not fake…”
“Liar! That’s exactly what a fake would say!!!”
Gong Cui interjected as she pointed her finger at him while Gong Liwei simply stood silently, both of them ready to run at the first sign of him moving.
“I arrived in the Profound Music Palace this evening, to be honest I am surprised you were so slow in getting here. To think I arrived earlier when you departed long before us”
Wu Long chuckled in response, not trying to move since he knew they would dart off the second he did. And while he could catch up it was better to settle the matter while they were still in the mind to talk, even if suspicious.
“Well that~”
Gong Cui looked away with an expression of pure innocence on her face while Gong Liwei’s face darkened, her expression more resembling a depressed one.
“Ah… I see”
Wu Long suddenly understood that with Gong Cui as a guide it was actually a miracle they arrived when they did.
“Anyway, how can you prove that you are not a fake?”
“Umm, I can give you a hug since you did not receive one before”
“Oh? Really? Sister! This is a real one”
“Cui’er”
Gong Liwei facepalmed as her little sister excitedly exclaimed.
“What? No?”
“I don’t know, but how does this hug prove anything?”
“Hmmm, well he’s as kind as the real one… to give out free hugs. And also my intuition is somehow telling me he’s real”
Gong Cui put her finger on her lower lip and said while her sister sighed even more heavily.
“Alright alright, in all seriousness, aren’t you a Music Dao Cultivator? Then just my voice should be a good enough indicator”
Wu Long then said as Gong Liwei’s alertness was going up because of his fooling around.
As he said this, the Gong sisters widened their eyes and then looked at each other with the look that said “Why did I not think of that?”, written all over their beautiful faces.
“See? I can just speak and you know I am real”
Wu Long then said as Gong Cui concentrated, and then smiled.
“It’s really him!”
She exclaimed and Gong Liwei sighed with relief as both of them abandoned the posture of running away.
“But… what are you doing here?”
Gong Liwei then asked and Wu Long shrugged his shoulders.
“I have some business not far from here and Her Majesty arranged for this sect to take care of me”
He said, and the Gong sisters nodded with understanding.
“Oh, and there are guests from the Cloud Piercing Sect staying not far from the mansion above, on the same peak”
“Heeh?!?! …! Ah! Ahaha..ha, well, it may OCCAAASIONALLY be used…”
As he added the information about the other guests of the sect, Gong Cui first exclaimed with surprise and then, feeling a gaze from the side looked over at the sister who was glaring at her and a dry laugh escaped her lips.
“You said it was never used”
“Come on… and how should I know anyway? I have only been here two years…”
Gong Cui shrugged and Gong Liwei’s shoulders shook as she was trying to calm down, some violent thoughts swirling in her mind.
“Anyway, instead of speaking here in this cold and dark cave, shall we go up and have a talk with some warm tea?”
Wu Long said and both sisters nodded as the caves were quite chilly even in the summer, and the three started climbing the stairs leading to the mansion Wu Long and his beauties stayed in.
