Upon hearing this, Wei Zhiying jumped off the earth spirit, flicked her wrist, and unleashed countless earth spikes: "Were you being watched? Or are there thieves here? Not many disciples come here. If they are fellow disciples, there's no reason not to greet them if we meet. After all, there aren't any valuable treasures here."

The Guiyi Sect has a harmonious and pleasant environment. Even if they don't know each other, they will greet each other when they meet.

Just as Wei Zhiying raised her hand to widen the area of ​​the ground spikes, a voice sounded behind her: "Such a vigilant child."

Wei Zhiying and her sister quickly went on high alert, and even the earth spirit raised its spikes: "Who?"

The two people and the scorpion turned their heads and saw a man dressed in dark purple tight-fitting clothes and a man dressed in a long robe of the same color.

Sima Guiyi didn't say anything, but turned his head and pinched Lin Xiao's chin and kissed him.

"Huh?!!!!!"

Wei Zhiying was dumbfounded. Wei Lanyin, who was so young, was seeing such a scene for the first time, and her face immediately turned as red as fire. Tu Ling was quite receptive, but she also covered her eyes with her pincers.

Wei Zhiying's words were somewhat incoherent: "I...I...we didn't mean to disturb you, it's just that we're in this desert..."

Sima Guiyi looked troubled: "I thought that since there was no one here, I could find another place to get along well. But I didn't expect there to be disciples here. They went deep into the Shensha Plain and even summoned a lot of earth spikes."

Wei Zhiying, naturally more knowledgeable than her sister, realized she had disrupted the young couple's role-playing, and stammered, "I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm so sorry! I wish you happiness! I...we'll be going now!"

"Wait a minute, little ones." Sima Guiyi crouched down to be at eye level with Wei Zhiying and her brother, reaching out to touch the area slightly below their jaws. "Although this is a deserted secret realm, you two come here every month, just to go home with your spirit beasts?"

Wei Zhiying paused, then said, "Yes, that's right."

Sima Guiyi looked at Wei Lanyin. Although Wei Lanyin was shocked by what had just happened, she was stunned for a moment when faced with the question from the person in front of her, but she still followed her heart and slowly nodded.

Sima Guiyi stood up: "Is that so? It seems this little guy is really lucky to have an owner like you, who can come home so often every month. Do you come every time you have a day off? After all, we saw you from afar when we were here before."

Before Wei Lanyin could react, her younger brother hugged her and pressed her head against his neck: "Excuse me, but you should at least consider the feelings of a little girl."

Sima Guiyi was taken aback. Seeing that he and Lin Xiao were only arm in arm, he hesitated for a moment before letting go: "Sorry, I'm getting used to it. The little one hasn't answered my question yet."

"It depends. If it happens to be close to exams or a sacrificial ceremony, then I won't come. When I'm free, I'll come whenever I have time off. If I'm not free, I'll shorten it to once a month."

Sima Guiyi considered it in his mind for a moment, and the entry and exit records matched: "It's getting late, so you two should leave quickly." Sima Guiyi smiled slightly: "After all, we've come all this way, and we don't want to leave right away."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhiying grabbed her sister and rode off on Tu Ling's back as fast as she could.

"Is there something wrong with them?"

"You're shy." Sima Guiyi turned to look at the other person's slightly reddened ear tips. "Every time you're shy, you deliberately find topics to talk about, and you become more talkative."

"Fine, don't bother answering then."

Sima Guiyi grabbed Lin Xiao's wrist: "No, it's just that my worldview was shaken, and my heart was beating a little faster. I didn't notice anything unusual about the boy, and the girl was being protected by her younger brother, so there was nothing strange about her either. But according to what the boy said, the entry and exit records all match up. After you move it, put a recording bead here to keep an eye on it. I hope I'm just being paranoid."

Lin Xiao asked in confusion, "Why don't you eliminate the threat completely? The old sect leader isn't much of a threat, since he's basically crippled and under your constant surveillance. And that woman, although she's insane, but..."

Sima Guiyi rested his chin on Lin Xiao's shoulder: "I once... saw a woman who looked 8% like that person die in front of me. Of course I know that you have to eliminate the root of the problem, but she was crazy, her meridians were all severed and she only had a little bit of spiritual power left. She could never cultivate for the rest of her life. As long as we keep an eye on her and prevent her from coming into contact with others, there will be no other problems. At most, she only has a few decades left to live. We can just wait until she dies naturally."

"Besides that brother and sister, are there any other people you suspect?"

"To be precise, I have no one else I suspect besides those two. The frequent requests for cultivation techniques started after this group of new disciples entered the sect. Although all ten children would ask the master for them, only those two came to Chensha Plain."

Lin Xiao thought for a moment: "That boy seems more mature and quick-witted than the girl next to him."

"That boy is indeed good; he came in first place again in this month's exam. But whether it's a coincidence or not, I can never let my guard down until that woman dies of natural causes. I must firmly grasp the method to become strong in my own hands, and I must always stand in the position of the strong."

Lin Xiao touched the two copper coins pinned to his chest through his clothes: "I will always follow behind you."

……

Only after returning to Yunyin Lodge did the siblings calm down. Wei Lanyin poured two glasses of water for herself and her brother: "I'd heard from the villagers before that some people in town were homosexual, but this is the first time I've ever seen it for myself!"

"I can't go see my master for a while."

"Yes, it would be too embarrassing if we ran into each other again."

"What I mean is, until we enter the inner sect, we shouldn't go to see our master anymore, but we should still bring the Earth Spirit home to visit relatives every month as usual."

Wei Lanyin was taken aback: "Why? Could those two be the ones who imprisoned Master?"

Wei Zhiying shook her head: "There's no evidence, but we've been to Chensha Plain so many times, and this is the first time we've encountered strangers. That means the only people we suspect are those two, regardless of whether they are or not. Besides, I always felt that those two were dangerous, especially the man in the long robe. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always felt that he was checking our carotid pulse and breathing to see if we were lying. But we probably didn't find anything."

At this moment, the two people, located in different places, simultaneously said to the only close person beside them: "I have worked so hard to get to where I am now, and I still have a bright future ahead of me. I cannot let my guard down. Whether I am overly suspicious or cautious, I must be vigilant in everything I do and think twice before I act."
