When Jiang Xi saw Bai Jingmo standing there, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Wu Bei followed her gaze and asked, "Do you know that person?"
Jiang Xi pursed his lips and replied, "We have worked together in the novice dungeon before."
Wu Bei had heard about Bai Jingmo from other people. Surprise flashed in his eyes when he heard it. He didn't expect to meet him in person now.
A very powerful but dangerous newcomer...
He couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"Then do you want to go and say hello?" Wu Bei said, "It's not easy for me and his role here to say hello."
After all, he is just Shen Youyou's suitor, and Bai Jingmo is her real boyfriend.
Jiang Xi shook his head: "No, let's talk about it when we have a chance."
Mainly, I didn’t know what to say in the past.
She and Bai Jingmo are no longer teammates.
Not long after, a man who looked like a butler came forward. He smiled at them and his voice was gentle and elegant.
"Good morning, everyone. I am the steward of the manor. My last name is Wang. You can call me Steward Wang. Miss Shen has specifically asked me to entertain you all, but she is still ill and cannot come out to greet you in person. I hope you can forgive me."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation, and there was nothing wrong with the smile on his face.
"However, our master and mistress are already waiting for you in the restaurant."
[Here I come hehe!] 】
[What is this time? What is this? The Horror Manor, wuhuhu! 】
[I see a lot of old friends, Wu Bei and... Shit, is this Mu Chengsi? ! She just used her skills? And they're both here? ? 】
[Family members, I understand... Jiang Xi has joined peace. Didn't you see Wu Bei standing next to her? It's obvious that he is here to take her to clear the dungeon. 】
[Well, it seems to be true. The last time I saw Cen Xiu clearing a dungeon with them, it might be that Cen Xiu recruited them to join. 】
[Then why did Mu Chengsi come?] ? I remember Yixian has been taken there, maybe she is now a member of deva. 】
[Isn’t there another Bai Jingmo?] Maybe Bai Jingmo has joined deva. 】
[There are two intermediate players in one game, 666, is this a speedrun game? 】
[It's hard to say. This is a role-playing instance. Everyone has a different role. To complete the mission without ruining the character, well... it's a bit difficult. 】
[Indeed, I have seen this kind of copy before. The identities of some players are very awkward. On the one hand, according to their character settings, they are supposed to kill the protagonist, but on the other hand, the mission requires them to save the protagonist. Hahahaha. 】
[That's nothing. I've seen even more ridiculous things. Some players play the role of an NPC's lover, but in the end they need to kill the NPC with their own hands. It's really hard to accept, hahaha. 】
【……】
【……】
[…Um, upstairs, is this your first time seeing Bai Jingmo’s copy? He is familiar with this thing. 】
【ah? ? 】
[Brother above, you must be confused, let me give you some basic knowledge. Do you see the most handsome man here? He specializes in killing wives. 】
[You can’t say that. I was lucky enough to see the last instance, and it was a beautiful NPC who killed him, hehe~]
[Anyway, you must not support his CP, it will definitely fail. 】
[So scary?] But I saw the character introduction above... This person is Shen Youyou's boyfriend...】
[It’s basically been like this all along, but this time I said it in advance, don’t worry~]
[I have already guessed the plot. Either I save my girlfriend, or she turns into a ghost and kills her. No CP can move my heart that has turned into a pool of stagnant water. 】
[The CP came out a little quickly this time. I was trying to guess which NPC Bai Jingmo would be paired with, but it seems there is no suspense. 】

The group followed the butler through several corridors and arrived at the restaurant. The waiter outside helped them open the door, and they saw a magnificent hall.
The servants stood at the door and bowed when they saw them come in and said respectfully: "Good morning, sir/madam."
There was a long rectangular table in the room, covered with a layer of white gauze lace cloth, and placed on it were exquisitely carved vases with bright and juicy flowers, as if they had just been picked and were covered with sparkling dewdrops. There were various kinds of food, bright in color, and looked very delicious.
It felt like I had arrived at a palace in the middle European century and attended a dinner party of nobles.
At the main seat in the middle of the table, a white-haired old man was looking at them with a smile, "You must be my daughter's classmates, please sit down quickly. You must have had a hard time on the journey."
Several people looked at each other and sat down in their seats hesitantly.
The old man laughed when he saw this. He was about to say something, but suddenly his face changed and he turned around and coughed heartbreakingly: "Cough cough cough——"
The servant next to him hurried forward to help him calm down and handed him a handkerchief.
The old man's face became paler and paler, with an unusual dark aura between his brows, his lips were slightly purple, and the wrinkles on his face were like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, loose and cracked, which made his smile look even more weird.
He covered his mouth with a handkerchief, smiled apologetically at Jiang Xi and the others, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I'm getting old, and my health is getting worse."
He picked up the water cup to moisten his throat, and then spoke again: “I am Shen Youyou’s father, you can call me Uncle Shen.”
“…”
Looking at the NPC who looked like their grandfather, a group of players fell silent.
Shen Youyou’s father is… quite old.
Master Shen seemed not to notice their silence and continued politely, "Youyou hasn't been feeling well lately and can't meet with guests, but she specifically asked me to entertain you well. Youyou's mother should have been here as well, but she may have been infected recently and isn't feeling well either. Please forgive her."
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang bowed his head and said respectfully, "Master, I heard from Mary that the Madam has gotten up and will be here soon."
Mr. Shen looked surprised: "Oh? Didn't she say she was very tired recently and wanted to rest more?"
Before Manager Wang could answer, he heard a woman's sweet laughter coming from the door: "Master, look at what you said, you really don't give me any face."
The door was opened, and a slender and graceful figure walked into the room.
The woman was wearing a purple silk dress, the hem of which gently fell to her feet, revealing a faint trace of her black high heels. A black fox fur shawl was casually draped over her arms, and on her fair wrists were golden bracelets and clear jade bracelets, which further highlighted the delicateness of her skin.
Her black hair cascaded down behind her, exuding a lazy and casual temperament. The black veil hanging from the hat on her head covered most of her face, leaving only her raised red lips faintly visible.
"Although I'm not feeling well, I'm Youyou's classmate. How rude of a person would it be if I didn't attend?"
The maid behind her still had a cold expression as usual. She gently put away the parasol in her hand and stood aside with her eyes downcast and silent.
When they saw the woman suddenly arrive, all the players present were shocked.
This is……
Shen Youyou’s mother? ? !
