Mo Hua sent over the name of the restaurant.
Murong Caiyun said:
"I see, I'll be right there. Take care of yourself."
"Mhmm."
Mo Hua nodded, although they found something strange.
This "take care of yourself" sounded odd...
What do I have to protect myself from?
Some two incense sticks' worth of time later, Ouyang Feng and Murong Caiyun arrived at the restaurant entrance.
The waiter was shocked just as before, and after hesitating for a while upon hearing they were here to find a disciple, allowed them in but couldn't help keeping a cautious eye on them.
The three spoke in hushed tones.
"Junior Brother, how did you end up here?"
Mo Hua waved dismissively. "That's not important."
They pointed to the cross-dressing, waist-slim, heavily made-up "woman" still dancing on the stage:
"This person here is likely the traitor."
Mo Hua was almost certain, but still showed humility by refraining from speaking in absolutes.
Murong Caiyun and Ouyang Feng both looked surprised, frowning and scrutinizing the "woman" for a long time, their gazes sharp.
"Cross-dressing to dance here, it is indeed a good way to hide in plain sight..."
"There might be more to it than just 'hiding in plain sight'..."
There could be a "side job" at play.
Even a renegade sect disciple, even a wanted Sin Cultivator, has to make a living…
"What should we do?"
"Should we just apprehend them?"
"Would that startle the snake in the grass?"
Ouyang Feng and Murong Caiyun discussed their options.
Mo Hua suggested: "I'll 'order' him over."
Both Murong Caiyun and Ouyang Feng were taken aback. "'Order'?"
"Mhmm." Mo Hua nodded. "We can order him to come over for a drink, and then seize the opportunity to capture him!"
Senior Sister Murong couldn't hold back, "Junior Brother, do you… come here often?"
How come you seem like a regular...
Mo Hua sternly replied, serious: "I'm a Serious Cultivator! I would never visit such places! Unless absolutely necessary..."
Senior Sister Murong eyed Mo Hua skeptically.
"This is to complete the mission!"
Mo Hua added.
Ouyang Feng gave a wry smile: "Catching that traitor is what's crucial."
