Bing Rong looked at Shen Yuan and asked lightly, “Yuan’er, have you ever thought of joining a sect for cultivation?”
Shen Yuan turned his face and replied, “I haven’t decided if I want to join a sect later or not, since I have a lot of time then I will decide later. Do you have any recommendations for me to join the sect sister Bing Rong?”
Bing Rong replied in a gentle tone as she talked about her sect, “I and Huo Rong are from the same sect, it is a sect located in the Aurora Zone of the eastern continent. Our sect is one of the strongest sects in the Eastern Desolate region, it is ranked as one of the top 10 strongest sects in the region.”
Bing Rong continued, “It has lots of cultivators from many types of species from all over the region. You should definitely join our sect if you do decide to join a sect later.”
Shen Yuan’s eyes glowed as he heard about how powerful the sect is, he asked, “Will I be able to join the sect or is there a requirement?”
Huo Rong smiled stiffened as she remembered the requirements to join the sect, she replied, “Hehe…he…well Shen Yuan there are two ways for you to join the sect, through the sect entrance test or you can directly ask your mother to let you join it, she is also a part of the sect.”
Shen Yuan tilted his head as he asked, “So my mother is also a part of the sect? Did you all meet up in the sect?”
Huo Rong replied before Bing Rong could speak, making Bing Rong glare at her, “That’s correct Shen Yuan, when we met your Mom, we were merely outer disciples of the sect.”
Shen Yuan remembered the quest to find out the hidden status of both of them so he pressed further and asked, “If you meet my mom so long ago then I don’t think you guys are ordinary maids, after all even my mother treats you both as her daughters.”
Huo Rong felt cold sweat running down her back as she hastily replied, “Haha Shen Yuan you are overthinking it, we were really accepted as your mother’s maid by her when she saw us in the outer sect.”
Shen Yuan didn’t believe one word of her as he knew they were hiding something, he once again asked, “Just tell me the truth Sister Bing Rong, Sister Huo Rong, I know you guys are hiding something, those kinds of interaction are not common between a maid and their mistress.”
Huo Rong and Bing Rong froze at the same time, after a while Bing Rong took a deep breath as she said, “The truth is, we are disciples of your mother Shen Yuan, she made us play as your aunt so you won’t be too lonely while growing up, because she can’t trust outsiders to take care of you.”
She hastily explained thinking he might have misunderstood them and thought they were hiding something.
[Ding!]
[A quest objective achieved.]
Shen Yuan’s expression softened as he smiled lightly, he wrapped his arms around Bing Rong, pulling her into a gentle embrace. His chest pressed tightly against her bosom, the sensation of his warm skin seeping through her nightgown, making her skin a little hot.
Shen Yuan breathed in deeply while hugging her, inhaling the fragrance of Bing Rong’s body, making him feel lightheaded.
He spoke while caressing her back with his hand, “I’m sorry to force you like this sister Bing Rong, I just wanted to know about it, it was making me too curious.” Shen Yuan spoke with a soft tone to console her.
Bing Rong smiled gently at his comforting actions when she felt his hand roaming all over her back, she replied, “It’s not a big deal Shen Yuan, after we learned about your past today, our master must have already decided to tell you about us, after all you are not a kid who would need to be pampered all the time.”
As she finished speaking Huo Rong’s slightly jealous voice sounded from the side, “Alright that’s enough hugging, you both will merge at this rate.” She separated both of them, she continued while pointing at Bing Rong whose face was slightly red due to the hug, “And you! Behave yourself, why are you turning red just from a hug from him?”
Bing Rong got flushed at her reply as she lowered her head in embarrassment but she caught something fishy in her words as she abruptly raised her head and questioned Huo Rong, “Just from a hug? What do you mean by that?? Have you done anything else to Shen Yuan??”
Bing Rong looked intensely at Huo Rong while questioning her, meanwhile, Shen Yuan was sitting there watching the drama unfold, he was wondering how Huo Rong would save her skin this time.
Huo Rong started sweating as she didn’t expect that she would slip up here, she stuttered, “T-There i-is no-nothint sis…hehe…he-”
Bing Rong pressed further as she asked, “Why are you not responding to me straight, tell me the truth! What things have you done with Yuan’er behind my back? You know you can’t lie with me when we both are twins.”
Huo Rong gave up on hiding it and carefully planned on what to say, “It’s nothing really, I only helped Yuan’er a little with things.”
Bing Rong looked at her suspiciously while asking, “Really? You didn’t do anything weird with Shen Yuan?”
Huo Rong nodded her head quicking thinking that she was safe, “Yes, truly I didn’t do anything weird.” While nodding her gaze fell towards Shen Yuan, who was smirking evilly.
“Yes we didn’t do anything weird, we only kissed today.” Shen Yuan spoke in an innocent tone as if he didn’t have any idea what he has done. He was just adding oil to the flames.
Huo Rong’s eyes widened as she looked toward Shen Yuan, not expecting him to betray her like this and reveal their little secret in front of Bing Rong like this.
