The old priest had sharp eyes, and his gaze on Si Bei was filled with coldness, his posture also full of defense.

"Mother-in-law..."

Shanshan had just spoken when the old priest stopped her, "Shanshan."

The old priest's voice was filled with warning.

Even Shanshan subconsciously kept silent.

The old priest looked at Si Bei and said, "Shanshan has already left with you once. You said you would never come to bother the village again."

"You broke your promise."

Si Bei pursed his lips, thinking about what to say.

The old priest's intention to drive him away was very obvious, and he even wanted him to leave immediately.

Walking... is impossible.

"Mother-in-law." At this moment, Shanshan spoke again, "Sibei is not here for official business this time."

The old priest frowned, with a look of doubt on his face.

Not for official business?

Then what is it for?

The old priest was puzzled when he saw Shanshan raise her hand and hold Sibei's arm, "Mother-in-law, he came for me, and I want to marry him."

The old priest took a while to understand what this scene meant. She widened her eyes, looked at Shanshan, then at Sibei, "You..."

Not to mention the old priest, even Si Bei didn't react.

However, he never had any expression on his face, and his whole body stiffened because of Shanshan's sudden closeness, so the old priest didn't notice anything wrong.

Shanshan still had a smile on her face. She hugged Sibei's arm and put her head on Sibei's arm. "Mother-in-law, it's just what you think."

"That's why I brought Si Bei back."

The old priest's gaze finally fell on Si Bei, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with inquiry and scrutiny, as if asking: Is it true?

Si Bei naturally understood Shan Shan's meaning. He was not someone who was inflexible. At this moment, he tried hard to force a smile at the old priest, "Grandma."

The old priest: “…” It’s an eyesore.

She glanced at Si Bei, turned and walked towards the stairs, and said to Shan Shan, "Come with me."

Before leaving, Shanshan did not forget to look back at Sibei and winked playfully.

The corners of Si Bei's lips lifted up barely noticeably.

The old priest's heart sank even more when he saw this scene...

Si Bei didn't know what Shanshan and the old priest had said, but the old priest didn't tell him to leave.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shanshan again.

Shanshan gave Sibei a reassuring look. After lunch, Shanshan took Sibei out.

Both of them tacitly did not mention what they had just said in front of the old priest.

Si Bei asked: "Where are we going now?"

The two of them had not entered the village for the past two days, so the clues Shanshan discovered were naturally shared by the two of them. Shanshan had already discovered that several people were missing from the tribe.

Shan Shan said, "I'm going to go find Sister Lan. As for you...are you still got the snacks I asked you to prepare last time? Go find those kids."

Shanshan pointed Sibei in a direction and turned to leave first.

Si Bei watched Shanshan disappear from his sight with light footsteps, then turned and walked in the direction Shanshan pointed.

The old priest's residence.

As soon as Shanshan and Sibei left, someone arrived outside the old priest's door and whispered, "Master Priest."

Two middle-aged women came in, one of whom was the Aunt Wen that Shanshan had called today.

"Master Priest, is that the person who took Shanshan away? He can't stay in the village!" Another woman said firmly, "People from outside will only bring disaster to the village."

If the outsiders hadn't come and taken Shanshan away last time, how could the village have ended up like this...
