My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Luo Hanying continued to say to Ji Daoyun, whose expression was gradually becoming serious: "Their inquiries about the Shiren Sect in such detail can be considered as an act of worship. But didn't no one mention the Fiery Eye Golden Lion for thousands of years?"

If it's really as they say, that they're from a small sect, how did they know about the Fiery Eye Golden Lion?

They also asked you if you could use the divine artifact "Heaven Will Rain," saying that you were not the master of the artifact, so why could you wield it?

I said I had only been a disciple for a short time and hadn't stayed in the sect for long, so I didn't know anything about those things, and that was how I was brushed off.

Ji Daoyun took a deep breath: "There is indeed a sect called the Sword Inquiry Sect, but I only know one elder in their sect. Now that the communication jade slip can't contact the outside world, I can't be sure about the identities of these people."

"Junior Uncle, how should we guard against them?" Luo Hanying glanced at the busy Wenjian Sect disciples outside the formation. They were gradually integrating with the disciples of various sects. Despite their worried expressions about the current predicament, everyone was still chatting and laughing.

Ji Daoyun murmured, "It was my oversight that I didn't consider that the Canghai Realm and Taibai Pavilion would infiltrate us in this way."

Luo Hanying comforted her, "Who would have thought that they saved me with ulterior motives? They've never experienced anything like this before, so naturally they wouldn't believe that I would be so unlucky as to run right into those people's faces."

Ji Daoyun pondered for a moment and said, "I am an old acquaintance of the fellow Daoists from Baiyuzhai, and I can confirm that they are without problems. The other sects were all contacted through Baiyuzhai, and the Buddhist cultivators from Beiwen Temple were someone we met by chance in the secret realm, so it is difficult to confirm their identities..."

Therefore, I will remind Bai Yuzhai's disciples to be more cautious, so that at least our Shiren Sect and Bai Yuzhai can work together.

Luo Hanying nodded and then brought up the matter of Ruan Chayan and Qin Fansheng.

"Demon Lord Huaiwei is currently unable to speak and has no human consciousness. What are your plans?"

Luo Hanying knew that she wasn't the only one who had considered asking Qin Fansheng for help, and that bringing it up was also meant to dissuade Ji Daoyun from that idea.

In addition, Qin Fansheng is also being hunted down by Taibai Pavilion. In the current situation, how should they deal with a little cat that may be a burden?

Luo Hanying and Ruan Chayan shared the same idea: to help Qin Fansheng and repay his past kindness. However, if Ji Daoyun did not want to get involved, they would naturally have to be more cautious and have more concerns. Therefore, Luo Hanying's words were also a test of Ji Daoyun's attitude.

"Then we will not only lose his help, but we will also have to conceal his identity to protect him."

Ji Daoyun's eyes darted around, and he had an idea. "According to what you've said, Huaiwei should trust Ruan Chayan now, right?"

Luo Hanying nodded and said, "Yes, Chacha took care of him all night, so he must trust her."

"That makes things easier. I'll teach you a secret technique, and you must learn it."

Ji Daoyun glanced at the crowd and said, "In a little while, you, Lin Zhuzui, Dou Xueran, and Lu Xizhou will go to Ruan Chayan and use the secret method I taught you to conceal Huaiwei's appearance."

Ji Daoyun began to make hand seals, signaling Luo Hanying to follow his example.

Luo Hanying followed Ji Daoyun to learn hand seals, and listened as he continued, "At that time, you will only say that Huaiwei did not trust Ruan Chayan and left on his own after waking up, while the one following Ruan Chayan is the cub of the swirling black-spotted leopard."

The black-spotted leopard has black ears, tail, and four paws, and its white fur is curly. The cubs have similar habits to cats and will also perch on treetops to absorb moonlight.

Unless someone understands this spell, or spills Shao Xu wine (which has been used to cook the Twin Lotus Flowers) on him, this illusion cannot be broken.

Seeing that Luo Hanying was familiar with the hand seals, Ji Daoyun then taught her the incantation.

Ji Daoyun looked anxious and comforted Luo Hanying, saying, "You don't need to be so anxious. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make a mistake."

Luo Hanying's anxiety was self-evident: "We've been in the formation for so long, it's inevitable that the Sword Inquiry Sect will become suspicious."

Ji Daoyun shook his head and chuckled: "It doesn't matter. After we get out, I'll just say that you're young and came to your elders to complain about this great calamity. No matter what we say or do, they'll be suspicious. Just give them any excuse."

Luo Hanying: "Uh...?" You really know how to act like an old man, do you? I'm such a grown-up, yet you call me a child? Isn't that just a load of nonsense?

Ji Daoyun repeated the incantation four more times. Seeing that Luo Hanying had memorized it, he said, "You recite the incantation while forming the hand seals in front of me. Let me see if you have learned it."

Luo Hanying was completely dumbfounded: "This secret technique works on people too?"

Ji Daoyun neither denied nor confirmed, saying, "Just do it."

Luo Hanying then used a secret technique, and the rune-like light spots entered Ji Daoyun's body.

Ji Daoyun said approvingly, "Very good, then I can rest assured. Go and intercept Ruan Chayan."

Luo Hanying nodded hesitantly: "Junior Uncle, please be careful."

Ji Daoyun put away the array plate, called over Lin Zhuzui and the other two and gave them instructions. Luo Hanying then led them towards Ruan Chayan's direction according to the coordinates on the map.

When Su Daiyu asked Song Ying, who had a similar temperament to her, "What have you been doing, Fellow Daoist Luo?"

Song Yingshi said calmly, "We have another disciple from the Shiren Sect who is in a dangerous place in the secret realm. Junior Sister Luo asked Junior Uncle to send us, her senior brothers and sisters, to accompany her and bring her back safely."

Su Daiyu said knowingly, "Ah~ is it that Ruan Chayan? I remember Fellow Daoist Luo mentioned her."

"Exactly." Song Yingshi asked with a forced smile, "Has the Sword Inquiry Sect arranged for patrols?"

"Master Wuhua, Master Wuye, please come and check the patrol times and rosters with us."

Su Daiyu pursed her lips and said perfunctorily, "This matter was not arranged by me. Senior Sister Baiyan, why don't you come over and discuss it with them in detail?"

Wenren Ya hid behind the stone statue, avoiding the crowd, and summoned her natal magic weapon, a simple wooden recurve bow. The bow had no patterns or decorations, only black silk threads wrapped around the curved bow arm.

As she drew the bowstring, a green arrow appeared on it, and vines and flowers, imbued with spiritual energy, began to entwine around the bow.

She shot an arrow into the ground, and the arrow disappeared beneath the stone bricks.

"What are you doing?"

The icy voice startled Wenren Ya, making her gasp for breath. She raised her hand and scattered the unformed objects on the ground. Suddenly, she met Ji Daoyun's cold gaze.

Ji Daoyun repeated softly, "What are you doing?"

Wenren Ya clenched her bow arm and smiled, "It's nothing, I was just a little curious about this place. Aren't the cultivators of the Golden Cauldron Sect clamoring to go inside the tomb? I also wanted to take a look, so I made this trip."

Ji Daoyun pointed his sword at Wenren Ya's throat: "Tell the truth."

"That is the truth, of course. If you don't believe me, what can I do?"

Wenren Ya's face turned pale, her lips were pursed, and she looked around, trying to find a way out of the predicament.
