Di Tou had woken up a little while ago, but had spent some time making the bed and tiding up a little before preparing to head out and get some chores done.
He hadn't known there were people in his courtyard, because he didn't have a strong spiritual sense, and the two brothers in the courtyard didn't know he was inside because the building, while low-key, had a inbuilt formation that prevented people from prying inside.
This was one of the few things Mu Di Bai bothered installing in the house because he was often away from the Academy, but because of his status there were often many eyes on him. Of course, luckily for Di Tou due to the fact that Mu Di Bai was rather fierce, none of the eyes ever dared to pry too much into Mu Di Bai's matters or pay too much attention to him, at most keeping track of his general whereabouts, lest the man get enraged and purge them.
