Disguised as immortals who come to join the wedding, Xuan Yu and Long Tian sneak into the village. Long Tian was a bit worried about being discovered but witnessing Xuan Yu's unwavering confidence even after being a demon, gave him strength to face the challenge.
Xuan Yu's beauty begins to catch the attention of the immortals present there. It sprouts a strange feeling in Long Tian's heart, and he finds the situation quite uncomfortable.
The envious and lustful eyes that gazed at Xuan Yu made Long Tian, want to rip each one of them apart. However, he found himself perplexed by these unfamiliar emotions.
"What's this emotion?" Long Tian questioned himself in a hushed tone.
"What did he say?" Roaming around them like ghosts, Chen Zoe asked Lei Wei who stood beside Long Tian.
"Not much, he just starts to realize that he falls for him." Straightforwardly, Lei Wei replied.
Growing impatient, Long Tian hastily procured a white hat from a nearby shop and placed it on Xuan Yu's head. The white clothes attached to the hat covered Xuan Yu's face.
"What's this for?" Xuan Yu is puzzled by Long Tian's sudden action.
"You are attracting too much attention. It's not a good thing in this situation." Long Tian offered an excuse for his actions.
"But won't this make us stand out even more? Isn't it suspicious?" Xuan Yu raised a valid concern.
"There are many immortals who choose to wear veils to conceal their identities. While some pests may be curious, even though they have no choice but to respect the one's decision to remain anonymous," Long Tian explained knowledgeably.
"How did you know that?" In a serious tone, Xuan Yu asks. He wonders how a mortal possessed such insight.
"T-that... I-I met few in my life." Long Tian replied cautiously, fearing that Xuan Yu might uncover his true nature. Yet, concealing the truth felt like a betrayal, prompting him to offer a genuine response.
"Don't tell me, you are..." The tension can be seen in Long Tian's face clearly and Xuan Yu continued. " a young master of some powerful family?"
"Huh... What?" [Long Tian]
"Now I understand why you were so sloppy in doing work?" Teasingly Xuan Yu speaks.
"Sloppy? Excuse me..." Long Tian retorted, but Xuan Yu had already begun to move toward their destination, using the invitation card to gain entry into Bai Lu's residence and stealthily infiltrate his chambers.
Bai Lu sat by the open window, lost in his thoughts. He doesn't realize that Xuan Yu and Long Tian entered his room.
"Bai Lu..." A voice snapped Bai Lu back to reality.
"mm... Who?" Bai Lu was startled to see someone in his room.
Taking off the hat, Xuan Yu revealed his identity to Bai Lu. The sudden presence of Xuan Yu surprised Bai Lu but it quickly wore off and anxiously he locked the door in a hurry.
"What are you doing here and who is he?" Seeing Xuan Yu on his wedding day, Bai Lu anxiously asked.
"Bai Lu, let's run away." Xuan Yu held Bai Lu's hands, looking earnest.
"Huh..."
"Don't marry that Wang Mao, Bai Lu. He isn't the right person for you...
If you can't forgive my brother, then don't. But please don't ruin your life just because of that. We can live somewhere else... I will treat you as a prince, you won't have to lift a finger to do anything..." Xuan Yu pleaded.
"Xuan... Xuan..." Bai Lu interrupted with a strained smile. "I can't do that."
"Why? You don't trust me..." Xuan Yu looked hurt.
"You are like my family; my little Xiao and I trust you more than anyone in this world. But now, I'm standing here as the son of the village head. I can't tarnish my father's reputation in front of everyone.
Don't cause any trouble and give me your sincere blessings Ok." Bai Lu's voice cracked as he fought back tears. Realizing he couldn't persuade Bai Lu, Xuan Yu left the room, feeling defeated.
Long Tian also felt bad for Bai Lu and tried to comfort Xuan Yu while seeing his upset face. But before he could speak, Xuan Yu dragged him to Wang Mao's room.
"What are you up to?" Not understanding his thoughts, Long Tian confusingly asks.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Mao opens the door.
"Yes... Who?" Not saying anything, Xuan Yu entered without a word. Making sure they were alone; he swiftly injected a needle into Wang Mao's neck.
Seeing this, Long Tian quickly shut the door while Xuan Yu keeps dodging Wang Mao's attacks.
His vision begins to blur, and body feels heavy, voice can't come out of his mouth. Within seconds, Wang Mao collapsed to the floor.
"It was much easier than I thought." The moment, Xuan Yu dropped his guards and went to check on anyone outside, Wang Mao pushed himself and tried to attack Xuan Yu with all force.
But it went wrong as he got hit by Long Tian before he could touch a single hair of Xuan Yu. Everything happened this quickly that Xuan Yu didn't even realize such a thing happened.
Not wasting time, they tied him up and about to leave with him to stop the marriage. Suddenly, there was a knock appeared on the door.
...
As it was time for the grooms to enter the ceremonial hall, Bai Lu was escorted there, his face was covered with a red veil.
"Bai Lu..." His father tried to speak but was cut off by Bai Lu.
"Think of it as my last favor, please don't come to me for anything else." Holding back tears, Bai Lu proceeded to the hall, waiting for the other groom to arrive.
As time passed, the other groom didn't show up. Whispering started to fill the hall, getting suspicious over the situation, Bai Lu's father ordered the other family members to take the groom here. But before that happens, the missing groom appears at the doorstep.
