Deep in the night, inside a sowhat dilapidated old house, a man clad in Cloud Knight armor paced back and forth. What was strange was that, apart from him, there were several dozen other people gathered in the house.
However, these people didn't make a move. Instead, they watched him respectfully, not daring to look him straight in the eye.
Before long, another 'Cloud Knight' rushed in like a gust of wind.
The first 'Cloud Knight' saw him enter and imdiately asked, "How's the situation?"
The 'Cloud Knight' who had just co in—Weidu—shook his head with a grave expression.
"The ten Borisin we sent to scout have all perished. But the good news is, the route map and the scent-masking elixirs those hated ones gave us are genuine. The Borisin successfully infiltrated, but we don't know who discovered them and killed them all."
The 'Cloud Knight' known as Weidu let out a sigh of relief.
"It's good that the intelligence is real. As for those dozen or so Borisin, they served as sacrifices for our grand plan. After we achieve victory, I will certainly report this matter to the Warhead and have them properly honored."
The rest of the Borisin who heard this couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh.
Weidu turned his head and shot them a glare. "Quiet! Do you want to attract the residents to report us, and then have the real Cloud Knights co to investigate!?"
Those Borisin imdiately lowered their heads, clenching their teeth and daring not to make another sound.
Weidu grunted, then took out a cloth bag from his robes. It was filled with the scent-masking elixirs he had obtained from Dan Shu. He handed it to the leader.
"Distribute these. Have our brethren with lighter footsteps consu them. Before the designated ti, you must infiltrate every gate of the Luofu!"
"Yes."

Inside the guest inn.
When Fu Zhu returned to his room with March 7th, he found Xing sprawled out on his bed, engrossed in a mobile ga with his teammates. His face instantly darkened.
"Old Sis, could you give an explanation as to why you're here?"
Xing, who was practically fused with the doorfra, casually kicked her feet and greeted them.
"You're back?"
"What do you an, 'You're back?'! Do you have any idea what it ans to be the master of this room?"
Fu Zhu wordlessly put March 7th down, realizing his plans to be intimate with his girlfriend had been ruined by this damn girl!
March 7th giggled and imdiately slipped into the bathroom.
Once the sound of running water started, Fu Zhu finally turned off his ga. He did a carp-flop, attempting to sit up, but in the end, he just flopped back onto the bed.
He looked at Fu Zhu with a deadpan expression. "Old Bro, I have good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
She spoke so casually, then walked over to the sofa, sat down, picked up so tea and a free piece of fruit provided by the inn, and took a bite, her mouth full of so indistinct mumble.
"Is the good news that you're planning to leave now, so you don't have to be a third wheel to and March?"
Xing's little face instantly fell. Ever since her Old Bro and March 7th had officially gotten together, she found that her Old Bro was abandoning her more and more!
She still rembered how he had previously appeared on the ceiling of her room, then left without a word as he pleased!
Now, he even wanted to kick her out without a second thought!
Hmph! With a grunt, Xing flopped onto the bed, then got up and walked to the sofa across from Fu Zhu. She sat down, crossing her legs in a manner completely unbecoming of a young lady.
"As your loving little sister, even though you haven't been very nice to lately, Old Sis will still tell you with great compassion!"
"The good news is, at this Wardance, you will et an old acquaintance from Belobog!"
The mont Fu Zhu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. The first person he thought of when he heard "Belobog" was Serval. He also recalled that when March 7th had posted about them being together on social dia, he had specifically gone to check the comnts on that post.
Most people comnted with their blessings. Those who didn't like to comnt at least gave a like. Only a handful of people had no reaction at all, and that group included Serval.
In fact, Serval hadn't had any interaction with him or March 7th at all during this ti.
Xing saw the subtle change in her Old Bro's expression and stayed silent. Her gossip-loving radar was blaring, and her razor-sharp intuition as a girl was telling her that there was definitely sothing going on between Serval and her Old Bro!
Fu Zhu didn't answer. He felt his brain short-circuiting. He hadn't expected that soone from Belobog would co for the Wardance, and that Serval would be among them!
Just then, Fu Zhu's phone buzzed. He picked it up and took a look. It was a ssage forwarded by Xing from Cocolia.
[Cocolia: About this Luofu Wardance, Belobog will also be sending a delegation. At that ti, I hope you can look after them.]
Upon seeing this ssage, Fu Zhu couldn't help but be taken aback. He asked incredulously, "Was this Serval being sentintal, or did Cocolia hack her account? The original text seems to be from her... Wait, was this a group ssage?"
Fu Zhu stared blankly, not wanting to say a word to Xing. He felt this matter was clearly his sister's doing. Before, he had harbored so hope, but now…
Drip, another ssage popped up.
It was from Seele.
[Seele: [Prepare to die.jpg], [Cleaver.jpg]]
Seele only sent two emojis and didn't say a word, but it felt like she had said everything.
Fu Zhu suddenly rembered that when he had liked March 7th's social dia post, he seed to have forgotten to like the one from Seele...
Seeing this ssage, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Old Bro, you don't have a thing with Seele too, do you?!"
"Nonsense! My relationship with her is perfectly innocent."
Fu Zhu shot back a retort, then imdiately shot back another.
"Then your relationship with Serval isn't innocent? Why were you so quiet when I ntioned Serval, but so defensive when it ca to Seele?"
Fu Zhu fell silent. He looked at that smug face that was practically begging for a slap, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
"Hmm… you have a point… Sis… you're good."
Fu Zhu averted his gaze and sank into contemplation, thinking about how he should handle this next. He was also a little speechless at his sister's ddling.
After a while, Fu Zhu stood up and prepared to walk out of the room.
Xing watched his retreating back and called out, "Old Bro, running away won't solve any problems!"
"I'm not running away."
Fu Zhu turned his head back to explain: "I'm going to take care of sothing. Don't worry, your Old Bro isn't so scumbag. I won't run from what I have to face."
With that, he left the room directly, not bothering to explain where he was going.
He had just left when March 7th, having finished her shower, walked out in her regular clothes. She used a towel to wipe her damp hair as she looked at the sofa where only Xing remained.
"Huh? Where's Big Bro? I was hoping he'd help dry my hair!"
Xing beckoned March 7th with her hand, signaling for her to co over and sit by her side.
March 7th walked over and sat down. Xing smoothly took the towel and began to help her dry her hair. March 7th enjoyed a mont of hair-drying service before she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so quiet all of a sudden? This isn't like you."
Xing was silent for a mont before suddenly saying, "March, let give you a little pop-sci lesson!"
"You?!"
March 7th turned back to look at her, as if she had heard sothing incredible.
Xing saw her expression and gave a rare, genuine smile, "What's wrong with ? March, I'm very smart!"
"Ahem, ahem, you know about monogamy, right?"
"Does that even need a pop-sci lesson? The vast majority of planets in the entire universe follow this system. Everyone knows that, okay!"
"Oh?" A gleam of delight flashed in Xing's eyes as she smiled.
"So you're saying, you accept this model of one husband for a lifeti?"
"???"
March 7th looked at Xing with an utterly baffled expression. "What are you talking about? Isn't monogamy one husband, one wife?"
"What's the problem? As a matter of fact, it's a very reasonable expression: One husband, isn't that just one husband? One wife, isn't that just one wife?"
"Could there possibly be a version with one husband and multiple wives?" March 7th muttered.
Xing cocked an eyebrow and said provocatively, "I'm not saying you have to believe , unless you can show proof!"
March 7th rolled her eyes speechlessly, but her heart was getting more serious.
"You want proof? I'll go get the proof and show you right now!"
With that, March 7th walked towards her bathroom to get her phone from inside, intending to use it to prove that she was right.
The instant she got up, Xing used her fastest hand speed to pull out her phone, flicked through her contacts to find Silver Wolf's icon, and sent a ssage.
[Xing]: Silver Wolf, super urgent, I need you to imdiately hack into Little March's phone, and then change all search results for the definition of 'monogamy' to 'one husband, multiple wives'! As a favor, I'll cover your mobile ga top-ups for a month!
[Silver Wolf: Received. Annoying brat from the Genius Society, your wish is my command.]
Silver Wolf didn't know why Xing wanted her to do this, nor did she want to know. All she knew was that her future mobile ga expenses were covered.
A mont later, March 7th walked out of the bathroom with her phone, muttering as she went, "This lady is going to slap this proof right in your face!"
Then, she sat down next to Xing and, right in front of her, began to search for "monogamy" online. As for Xing, she watched with a smug expression.
The search results ca out very quickly. March 7th directly opened the top link and began to read it out word for word.
"Listen up, monogamy ans one husband… multiple wives?!"
March 7th looked at the text on the screen with so confusion. After confirming that she hadn't misread it, she exited the webpage in a sweat and then opened another. No matter which page she opened, the definition of monogamy was the sa.
This left March 7th a little dumbfounded. Did she rember it wrong? But this was the result of an online search...
Seeing this scene, Xing let out a sigh of relief and silently gave Silver Wolf a thumbs-up in her heart. What a genius girl, her execution is simply amazing!
Hehe, Old Bro, when you find out that I, your little sister, have helped you, you'd better thank properly!
Xing had already started planning. First, she would make her brother cover her mobile ga expenses for a year! Then she would also have him cover Silver Wolf's share!
However, March 7th didn't have many friends. Although she usually seed quite outgoing, she was surprisingly lacking in people she could confide in when she really needed to.
With Nanook and his sister out of commission, there was no need to worry about them for now. Even if March 7th used her phone to consult soone, Silver Wolf could probably intercept it.
The only people to worry about were Dan Heng, Yunli, and Yanqing.
Thinking that her plan might have a loophole, Xing imdiately stood up and headed for the door. "March, I'm going out for a bit!"
"Huh?"
March 7th looked up from her daze to see Xing rushing out of the room, muttering to herself, "Why is everyone leaving? What are these two siblings up to from morning till night…"
With no one to keep her company, March 7th simply lay down on the bed. A full day of playing mobile gas had left her exhausted. She didn't even want to look at her phone anymore. She just pulled a pillow over her head and went straight to sleep.
After leaving the room, Xing turned and arrived at Dan Heng's door. She knocked on the door with a thump, thump, thump.
"Dan Heng, it's urgent! Open the door!"
Hearing that sothing was wrong, Dan Heng imdiately pushed the door open. He looked out from the crack in the door and asked tensely, "What happened?"
Xing took a mont to integrate everything in her mind and condensed it into a single sentence.
"My Old Bro's backyard is on fire."
Thud.
The door slamd shut.
