After seeing off Huo Yunxiao, Nanke returned to his bedroom and tossed the invitation aside. Shen Mu glanced at it and asked, "What's going on?"
Nanke then recounted the whole story, from the fake Qing Blood Jade Bracelet to having to deceive Huo Yunxiao with a false identity and the cure. He only omitted the part where he begged Huo Yunxiao.
Shen Mu remained silent for a long time before asking, "What do you want me to think?"
Nanke half-lay on the sofa, looking indifferent, but with a hidden tension in his eyes. "If you want to see him, don't wear a mask to the banquet tomorrow night. Everything will be revealed, and the false identity will naturally end. You don't have to force yourself."
Shen Mu remained silent for a long time before saying, "And then what? Reveal my identity, my background, my countless murders, and my ulterior motives?"
