Chapter 464: Relationship
[Now who’s taking advantage of who?] Zhen Yuan argued and the double stuck out his tongue.
[I don’t care. I want three chances.] He said and Zhen yuan sighed with a helpless expression.
[Three chances.] He agreed.
[Plot eight hundred and eighty-eight, plot eighty-eight, and plot eight.] Shen Xu said, looking at Zhen Yuan with expectant eyes.
[Why did you choose those?] Zhen Yuan asked.
[Eight is a lucky number.] The double said and Zhen Yuan forcibly suppressed his laughter.
[Eight is a lucky number in your home world.] He reminded and Shen Xu was momentarily confused before understood.
[We are in the cultivation world.] He muttered and Zhen Yuan nodded.
[Your guesses...] The man started but Shen Xu interrupted him.
[I don’t care. I want a do over.] He said but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
[It’s too late.] The man said, tipping his head towards the table.
A moment later, Xiao Weimin revealed his wooden square and Xu Xue nodded.
"Plot nine." She said and the Hanging Garden sect’s leader grinned from ear to ear.
"Good. Good. Good." He said, signalling Xiao Weimin to draw another lot.
Soon after, Xiao Weimin revealed his wood square and Xu Xue narrowed her eyes.
"Plot seventy-two." She announced and the Hanging Garden sect’s leader couldn’t suppress his excitement.
"Lad, draw another one." He said and Xiao Weimin nodded before dipping his hand into the sack.
"Plot six hundred and forty-eight." Xu Xue announced, finally looking relieved.
After all, Xiao Weimin had already drawn two excellent plots and she didn’t want him to draw another.
Fortunately, his luck ran out after two draws hence the third plot was just average.
[Is the third plot really average?] Shen Xu asked, not believing that Xiao Weimin’s luck was only enough to draw two excellent plots.
[No.] Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.
[The elders didn’t notice because the real goods are underground.] He said and the double couldn’t help but be shocked.
[Underground? Is there such a thing?] He asked and Zhen Yuan nodded before explaining.
[There are several underground caves on this island. The one on plot six hundred and forty-eight is relatively good but it’s not the best.] He said.
After that, Lin Mengmeng and the rest of Xiao Weimin’s harem drew their lots, all getting one or two relatively good plots.
When their draw was up, Xiao Weimin, Zhu Huang and their harems gathered in Bai Guo’s cabin.
"Brother Bai..." Zhu Huang started but hesitated before continuing.
"Brother Bai, your relationship with Shen Xu is a little complicated." He said and the others turned to look at him.
"What’s going on?" Xiao Weimin asked.
"Bai Guo and Shen Xu are not ordinary twins." Zhu Huang said and quickly continued.
"They have the same mother but different fathers." He said and the gathered people couldn’t help but be shocked.
"This..." Lin Mengmeng muttered, at a loss of what to say.
After all, twins with different fathers could only happen if the mother had relations with two men within a few hours or days.
"Impossible!" Bai Guo exclaimed, angrily shaking his head.
"My mother would never do anything to wrong my father." He declared.
"Calm down first." Lin Mengmeng said, rubbing the back of the double’s hand.
"Sister Meng, you have to believe me." Bai Guo pleaded, desperately wanting to clear his mother’s name.
"My mother and father are childhood sweethearts. They have loved each other since they were young and neither has ever taken a lover or concubine." He explained.
"Your mother did not keep Shen Xu which shows there is something wrong with his identity." Ouyang Ling analysed and the others turned to look her.
"Ling’er, do you have an idea?" Xiao Weimin asked and Ouyang Ling nodded before speaking.
"Maybe Shen Xu’s conception was involuntary." She suggested and Bai Guo clenched his hands.
"Could Shen Xu’s father have forcibly..." Bai Guo started but Ouyang Ling shook her head.
"That’s only one possibility. Another possibility is that they both did not have a choice." She said and Xiao Weimin narrowed his eyes.
"Passion poison?" He asked and Ouyang Ling nodded.
"It’s not impossible." She said and quickly continued.
"It’s possible that they were both poisoned and had no choice but to use each other as an antidote."
Bai Guo was a little relieved when he heard this.
However, he still felt uncomfortable and subconsciously disliked Shen Xu.
After all, regardless of the circumstances, Shen Xu was a living proof that his parent’s love was not perfect.
"Guoguo, what do you want to do?" Xiao Weimin asked, looking at the double with expectant eyes.
Xiao Weimin had twelve wives in his previous life.
Of the twelve, five were from the cultivation world, six were natives of the immortal realm, and one was from the god realm.
After he was reborn, Xiao Weimin considered not marrying his previous life’s wives.
However, after thinking about it, he felt he could not give them up.
On one hand, he loved all of them and on the other, each played an important role on his path to godhood. Because of this, he was uncomfortable when he saw Shen Xu with another man and was eager to interact with him.
’I don’t believe he doesn’t feel our connection. He must be waiting for me to make a move.’ He thought and his eyes hardened with determination.
"I used blood sensing to uncover our relationship. He should have felt it." Bai Guo stated with a conflicted expression.
"You want to wait until he approaches you?" Zhao Chenhua asked and Bai Guo nodded but soon shook his head.
"I don’t know." He said.
"I think it’s best to take the initiative." Song Wandong suggested but Zhao Chenhua disagreed.
"We can’t be impulsive." She said and quickly continued.
"We don’t know enough about the person."
"I agree with sister Chenhua. We need to know more about Shen Xu." Ouyang Ling said and took out her communication jade.
"I will message my fifth brother and ask him to help us investigate." She said and after Bai Guo nodded, Ouyang Ling sent the message.
