The castle clearly harbors more secrets than just Mr. Dong, although Xu Huo isn't yet its true master, that does not mean he should pass up on the benefits.
Bai Kou did not seem to be in a hurry either; since she had not succeeded this time, she didn't persist and instead brought up the upcoming Noble Investiture Ceremony.
This was also a joyous occasion for Zone 011, hence the widespread publicity everywhere. The ceremony and banquet were grand affairs. For minor nobles like Xu Huo, had the Duchess not included him, he wouldn't have a part in it.
"You're going as well," Xu Huo said. "What role will you be playing this time?"
Last time, she was the infamous Madame Butterfly.
"An insider of the Xīnlún Church," Bai Kou replied.
"Madame Butterfly was also a member of the Xīnlún Church," Xu Huo noted. Based solely on this, he knew it most definitely wasn't a benevolent religious organization.
