Mo Li followed after them, mo hao and mo rongyan mind was swirling with shock and disbelief.
How can they still have the mind to follow him after what he had done?
They struggled to comprehend how mo caili and mo li continue to follow him so closely even after they heard his hand on their grandfather's head—
A death caused by the very food he had served him.
He was a murderer why can't they see it mo rongyan muttered as she cursed him in vexation-
Meanwhile, Mo Hao's sharp eyes caught sight of a pile of wet clothes discarded on the floor close to the bushes.
His brow furrowed as he stooped to pick them up, then quickly called out to Mo Rongyan, urging her to come and take a look.
They thought "This was the finest evidence and opportunity to separate their siblings away from tianzun and get rid of him.
A silent tension filled the air, thick and heavy like the calm before a storm.
Farther off,
Mo Li, Mo Caili, and Tianzun had already made their way to a nearby park.
The atmosphere was tense, the fluttering of leaves around them and whispering winds awaken their unease for no reason.
Tianzun's voice broke the silence in the atmosphere, he said "Remember the wet clothes?"
The others exchanged glances, their faces drawn tight with unspoken fears.
They fell silent, only to hear Tianzun replying to their emotions, "Let's just wait and see once we get back..."
Curiosity gnawed at Mo Li as he asked the reason why they fell from the sky to the pond and he answered its complicated.
"What happen?"
Why did you guys appear from thin air
he asked, unable to contain his growing curiosity. Tianzun's face flushed a deep crimson as he replied,
"It's complicated..." His voice faltered, eyes darting away.
Slowly, he unveiled the story—
The door they had found, the strange things they had witnessed though crucial parts was kept on private and locked away for the mean time.
Tianzun didn't mention about their conversations with the spirit or about the confession of his father while they hid in the wardrobe, nor the exact location of the mysterious door.
But in everything tianzun had perfectly narrated had some loophole leading him to be suspicious of tianzun.
Mo Li was suspecting hin.
Hmm.... is that so?
He was clearly not having it—
He continued Is that all.
Are you sure he questioned as he shot a suspicious look at tianzun
Tianzun immediately answered though he stuttered while defending himself.
Mo li looked at tianzun observing him he place his hands on his chin and said
"I kind of feel you're holding back," Mo Li pressed, suspicion sharpening his tone.
"No, that's everything," he insisted, voices steady but eyes betraying his hesitation.
Mo Li wasn't convinced. "Then why are you guys acting like a couple?"
Tianzun sighed, his cheeks still tinged with red.
Embarrassed by the question thrown at him
He replied "She has been clinging on to me after our little adventure not mentioning about her confession so as not to embarrass her and
After we accidental— he stopped not wanting to continue—
But
Mo Li pressured wanting him to finish what he said
He replied accidentally what—
What he stressily repeated—
Say it.
I refuse tianzun replied
Say it!.
He said his voice in a high pitched angry tone.
He was getting frustrated already—
Tianzun face was all red he was so embarrassed
Mo caili looked at tianzun she smiled having the urge to tease him again she pressured like mo li
Accidentally what—
This time tianzun gave up he said alright..
You win
you win.
We accidentally kissed—
What—
Mo li shouted.
Tianzun turned his face away after that embarrassing confession—
Mo caili smiled she had won this round she looked with a smug expression on her face
She teased him again—
you are so cute.
This word took mo li back—
he didn't expect his sister to be this so bold. And now he realised he didn't know her too wellAnd I just thought I have to take responsibility for what happened."
After all is our mistake and has to be solved by our hands.
"For just a mistake?" Mo Li scoffed, the doubt in his voice thickening. "No, I'm not convinced. I won't leave until I hear the whole story."
Tianzun's expression darkened. "What if I told you we kissed four times?"
Mo Li's world came crashing down.
He couldn't believe his friend had left him for the world of adult that if it was a scene he will currently has his hands stretched for his friend attention in a dark space with a door being the source of light then later his friend came and left sealing him within the dark space.
Mo Li continued as he muttered four times—
Those words echoed in Mo Li's brain, each syllable reverberating deep and low, as if the very air vibrated with a bass rumble. Four times. His head spun, and he clutched his temples tightly.
"What's wrong?" Caili and Tianzun rushed to his side.
Mo Li's eyes widened. "Woah... How grown up.
His eyes lit in determination.
I'm going to kiss a girl tomorrow! I can't let Tianzun outdo me—especially since I'm six months older than him".
He laughed, but within it was a mix of joy and frustration bubbling up inside him.
His mind raced with plans, eagerly awaiting Monday so he could finally steal a kiss at school. He'd had girls that crushed on him before, but didn't think anything out of it until now that tianzun had has his own he can't lose out his was all fired up—
After all he competes with tianzun with almost everything and wouldn't want to lose out on any—
Tianzun seeing this rolled his eyes and said to himself mistakenly of course glancing to mo caili still hold his arm like they were couple.
Lost in thought on how to go about it , he barely noticed Tianzun and Caili calling his attention.
But was finally able to get hold on him waking him up from his reverie they ordered "Keep it a secret until we finish investigating it," they urged.
"Don't worry," Mo Li assured them with a confident grin. "Your secret is safe with me."
They left the park and headed home. Upon opening the door, they were met with a surprising sight—the entire family was gathered, their faces a mixture of confusion and concern.
They couldn't fathom what was happening until Mo Hao stepped forward, eyes sharp.
I have question for three of you firstly,
Where were you last night?
Secondly,
"Why were your clothes wet?
And lastly why was Mo Li watching out for you guys so closely even to the point of lying?
