"Welcome to the Sect, Junior Sisters," the two guards called out from afar, stopping in front of Wuying and Yi. "I don't really recognize you two though. You must be new, right?"
Wuying and Yi smiled brightly as they approached, looking around the place with an excited look and finally gazed at the two guards. Both of the girls bowed slightly, greeting, "Good afternoon, Senior Brothers. What a beautiful day, isn't it?"
They wore a normal every day dresses with an addition of light cloaks, unbuttoned at the front to show their figure. The two Sect Disciples were decent enough not to stare directly at their bodies even though they seemed really tempted to.
"Not as beautiful as you," one of them complimented, finally giving them a look-over, admiring their beauty. "I doubt any female in the Sect can compare to you two."
"Aww… Senior Brother is really sweet," Yi muttered softly, putting a strand of her silver hair behind her ear before glancing at them from below. Her innocent and sexy look was enough to make the two stare blankly at her.
The girls' hair was messily falling yet still somehow aligning itself into a perfectly balanced look. Even if they changed their hairstyle, they couldn't alter their facial features so they could only hope the investigation about the Disciples' death didn't go far. Without any recording, it was almost impossible to remember all the details of their looks to replicate it later.
"Why do you say we are new disciples?" Wuying asked curiously, breaking the men's daze.
"Well… Our Sect is not that big so we know everyone and seeing your beauty, there is no way we could forget. You don't have the Sect's uniform as well and you look around curiously. That's why I thought you must be new," Senior Brother explained only to propose, "If you need help, we can lead you to the Register Office so you can become official disciples. We are off our shift just now anyway."
"That's quite observant of you," Wuying praised with a smile, "But I and my sister are already official disciples. It's just that we were away from the Sect due to personal matters and just came back. You see…"
Wuying paused, glancing at Yi in hesitation but she assured Wuying with a rub on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I don't want to hide it. There is nothing shameful in my story… It's just sad."
"Oh… Were you met with any danger?" Senior Brothers asked as their smiles disappeared, replaced with worry.
"Well… long story short, my sister was dating one guy even before we joined the Sect. He didn't get into Red Cloud Sect so their contact cut until one day when he requested to join him on a certain mission. As my sister was a dummy and lovesick, she naturally agreed, wanting to meet him again. Thank Heavens I followed her and was able to react in time. If not, it would end it tragedy…" Wuying narrated before a single tear dropped from her eye, drying on her cheek as it fell.
She blushed and hid her face under the hood, hugging Yi's face into her chest.
"I don't know what I would do if they ended up hurting you..." Wuying muttered, sniffing without letting her go.
Both Senior Brother's faces darkened.
"Can we talk on the way? It's not a long story but it will take a moment…" Wuying questioned softly as she began to walk towards the gate, hiding Yi in her chest the whole time.
"Of course!" Senior Brothers agreed momentarily and brightened when they saw two other men approach them. "Our shift is here so we are free now. We will lead the way for you."
"Thank you… Both of you are really kind to us sisters… I was already losing hope but there are still some good men out there," Wuying acknowledged the help and slowly walked forward, heading to the gate.
One of the Senior Brothers quickly skipped in front of them, leading the way while the other moved to the two newcomers who gazed at them confused.
On the outside, Wuying and Yi looked like two lost souls, saddened by the brutality of the world but on the inside, they were cursing their bad luck.
How can they be this unlucky to meet one of the cultivators who escaped from their hunt before they even entered the Sect? She recognized the blond buzz cut from the man that almost tasted her blade just two days ago.
"You arrived at the perfect moment! Good luck with the shift," Senior Brother called out to the newcomers only to rush after the rest.
"Something happened?" The buzz cut man called out after him as he stared at Wuying and Yi's back but they were covered by cloaks, not giving him much information.
Wuying acted quickly and covered their faces before they could see them but she was still worried they could see Yi's hair as it was only wrapped by Wuying's arms. Just in case they needed to run, Wuying observed the two scene closely.
"They are our beautiful Junior Sisters who returned to the Sect just now. Don't worry, we will take care of them," Senior Brother assured, causing the buzz cut man to finally look away in envy, walking away.
Only when Wuying entered the Sect did she uncover her hood and released Yi.
"I'm sorry, I got a little emotional," Wuying lied skillfully as she wiped her eyes as she stopped next to the tall wall surrounding the whole Sect. "Thank you for your support."
"It is only natural. It's all in the past so don't think about it…" Senior Brothers assured, fully convinced by their act.
"Mhmm…" Wuying nodded, calming herself down with deep breaths. "It's just that when I think that man tried to lure my sister and then use her body to pay off his debt, I'm can't help but get worried."
"Damn, bastard…" Senior Brothers immediately cursed, their fists tightening. "Who is he? We will avenge you."
"It's alright… My sister already killed them, so all we can do is just forget about it. I spent a few years healing my wounds and I am finally back to pursue my Cultivation once again," Yi said with a bright smile, showing she was over it. "Talking about cultivation, would you mind showing us the way to the Treasury or somewhere we can exchange resources? It has been a while since we have been here so we totally forgot our way. We don't have a good sense of direction."
"Of course! It just happens we need to report to the Treasury after our shift so we can lead the way for you. Please, follow us."
The first part of the plan went somewhat smooth if not counting the bad luck at the start but infiltrating inside was the easiest. The real problem stood with the actual robbery, escape, and most importantly, diversion.
