"Feel free to find any room if you want to stay," Bai Feng waved his hand dismissively, not caring much about such trivial matters. "Weren't you staying here for several nights before? Although you were mostly in seclusion then."

"Okay, I'll go tidy up a room," Bai Yu Mo replied.

"Go ahead."

...

That night, Bai Feng lay in bed, preparing to rest when suddenly, Bai Yu Mo burst through the door.

"Yu Mo? What’s up?"

"Um, I got a bit too excited and can't sleep..." Bai Yu Mo scratched her cheek, looking a little embarrassed. "And I have some questions about the body tempering technique I was practicing. Do you have time now?"

Bai Feng glanced out at the dark window. He really wanted to say he didn’t, but the system— that shameless thing— would likely shove some luck points his way if he refused.

Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement:

"I do, but I just started practicing not long ago, so I probably won't be able to answer many questions."

"That's fine! We can discuss it together; it's better than thinking aimlessly alone!"

Bai Yu Mo smiled as she walked in and sat down beside Bai Feng's bed.

At the same time, she felt a sense of relief in her heart. Great, she had taken another step toward changing Bai Feng's impression of her.

Time passed slowly until a ray of sunlight streamed into the room.

Bai Feng groggily woke up, rubbing his eyes, only to find Bai Yu Mo sleeping beside him.

After a moment of shock, last night's memories flooded back.

Oh right, Bai Yu Mo had come to discuss techniques with him last night. But when had he fallen asleep?

Hmm, it seemed that after she offered to give him a massage to thank him for his help, he had agreed.

After that, he had no memory, probably dozing off during the massage.

But why was Bai Yu Mo sleeping in his bed?

**Chapter 128: Not an Accident, but Intentional!**

At that moment, Bai Yu Mo rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking a bit dazed. "Good morning."

"Morning," Bai Feng replied casually, then fixed his gaze on her. "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Uh..." Bai Yu Mo seemed to snap back to reality. She shrank her head, glancing at Bai Feng with a hint of fear, then hurriedly explained, "Well, after the massage, I intended to rest a bit before heading back, but I accidentally fell asleep."

Before Bai Feng could ask further, she added in a fluster, "It’s just that last night, I was reminded of some old memories. Remember how we used to chat and play on the bed during rainy summers? It’s been so long since we’ve done that, so I lay down to reminisce, and I accidentally fell asleep..."

Hearing Bai Yu Mo's words, Bai Feng also recalled those childhood moments.

Bai Yu Mo had been terrified of thunder as a child, so he often went to her room on stormy nights to keep her company, boosting his favorability.

At first, she would act tough, but when the lightning struck, she would immediately soften, diving into his arms, even waking up just as he was about to leave, pulling him back to stay.

Looking back, it was quite amusing.

"Forget it, I won’t pursue it this time," Bai Feng waved his hand, then reminded her seriously, "But you should be more careful. You're not a child anymore. Even though we're siblings, sharing a bed like this could harm your reputation if it gets out."

"Mm-hmm, I will," Bai Yu Mo nodded quickly, though she didn’t take it too seriously.

She hadn’t accidentally fallen asleep last night; she had intentionally lain down beside him to do so...

"By the way, brother, what do you want for breakfast?"

"Noodles, I guess."

...

After breakfast, Bai Yu Mo went off to find her master for training, while Bai Feng began crafting array plates.

Not long after he started, he heard a soft knock on the door.

Given the force and position, it must be Su Lan Qian.

Bai Feng opened the door, and as he suspected, Su Lan Qian stood outside.

"Um, I’m here to help..." Su Lan Qian looked down, speaking softly, "Do you still need help making array plates?"

"Of course! I've used up all my array plates in battle and was just thinking of asking for your help," Bai Feng nodded. He wouldn’t refuse such a request. "By the way, I need to make new array plates for a while. If you have time, you can come help me, and I’ll pay you."

"Um..." Su Lan Qian nodded quickly, "You don’t need to pay; you’ve already taught me a lot."

"Then you don’t want the pen I used?" Bai Feng smiled, pulling out a pencil that was already half its original length.

"...I do."

Su Lan Qian's face turned slightly red. She looked down, her voice small yet firm.

Bai Feng couldn’t help but chuckle. Every time he saw Su Lan Qian like this, he felt the urge to tease her. He handed her the pencil, saying, "Alright, just kidding. You can have this; the payment will be something else."

"...Okay."

This time, Su Lan Qian didn’t refuse. Blushing, she carefully tucked the pencil into her storage bag.

...

"Is the grand array finally complete?"

While making array plates, Bai Feng suddenly sensed something. He set down his work and quickly stepped outside. He saw a transparent film enveloping the city, intricate array patterns swirling above.

"Looks like we can finally go back."

He withdrew his gaze, feeling a bit relieved.

Once the grand array was completed, there shouldn’t be anything else that required him to go out.

Finally, he could take a break for a while.

At that moment, Su Lan Qian, who had been helping him with the array plates, also hurried out of his room. She looked at the phenomenon in the sky, feeling a bit reluctant.

Would she still be able to come to Bai Feng's room to help with the array plates after returning to the sect? Even if she couldn’t spend the night like the first night, just being able to stay in his room during the day would satisfy her.

"But building this grand array really took a lot of time and effort! I thought it would be finished quickly."

Bai Feng shook his head.

"Actually, it was because my master made some adjustments to the grand array structure to activate part of it early, which made the subsequent construction more complicated," Su Lan Qian explained softly.

"I see." Bai Feng nodded. This matter was also related to him. Without his master and Su Lan Qian's help, he wasn’t sure if he could escape from the demoness's grasp. "It's a pity I don’t know what my master likes. I still haven’t figured out what gift to give her as thanks."

"Um..." Su Lan Qian pondered for a moment, shaking her head. "Aside from array techniques, my master doesn’t seem to have any particular interests."

But she remembered seeing her master reading "Spring and Autumn" a few times when she went to find her. Was that suitable as a gift?

"Array techniques..."

Bai Feng thought for a moment. He did have a rather interesting array technique.

Previously, the system had rewarded him with a fragmentary terrain array technique. Although it wasn’t very practical, it was great for research.

If he couldn’t find a suitable gift, he could just copy this terrain array technique and give it to Master Liu Meng as a present.

"Thanks, Su Lan Qian. I have an idea now," Bai Feng said gratefully.

"Ah..." Su Lan Qian was still lost in thought about the "Spring and Autumn" thing. Bai Feng's words brought her back to reality, and her face felt a bit hot. "No, I didn’t come up with any ideas."

Speaking of which, should she also get her master a gift?

After solving one dilemma, Bai Feng looked up at the flickering array patterns above and casually asked, "By the way, does it really take this long to activate the grand array?"

"My master should be testing the grand array to prevent any errors in the future, so it will take a bit longer to finish."

Su Lan Qian also looked up at the array patterns. After spending a few days making array plates with Bai Feng, she gradually overcame her mental barriers and no longer rejected array techniques.

But when she was alone, she still felt a bit anxious; it was much calmer to be beside Bai Feng.

"I see."

Bai Feng nodded. He understood the need for testing bugs!

They didn’t wait long before the translucent film above gradually disappeared, and Liu Meng landed beside Bai Feng and Su Lan Qian.

"Master." *2

Liu Meng waved her hand, looking at Bai Feng and Su Lan Qian. A hint of fatigue on her face was brightened by a smile. "It seems you both came through unscathed. That puts my mind at ease."

"Thanks to Master and Senior Sister Su for your timely rescue."
