Shade told Wei Ge what he was thinking. Wei Ge paused, then looked again at the Apple Orchard:
"This really is where Father and Mother shared many deep memories. They had me in the second year after their marriage, and both before and after they married, they spent many wonderful times here. That sketch is proof."
"Then I'll use—"
Shade had been about to say that he would use Enhanced Space Perception to investigate, but suddenly turned to look to the left:
"Who's there?"
Before Wei Ge could react, Shade had already chased after them. By the time Wei Ge caught up, Shade had stopped at the southeastern corner of the Apple Orchard.
"Someone was spying on us just now. Not an ordinary person. They came prepared, and the moment I noticed them, they fled. They had some Relic prepared for teleportation."
"A man?"
Wei Ge asked.
"Not certain. Judging only by their build, they were most likely male. I didn't get a clear look at them. They ran incredibly fast."
Shade closed his eyes and sensed the area again. Only after confirming that the person had truly left did he and Wei Ge head back into the Apple Orchard.
Wei Ge seemed distracted:
"Could it have been Mother? Mother wearing a Skin Object, or hiding herself some other way."
"Impossible to say. But it wasn't a Demon, or I would definitely have felt something faint. It wasn't a Relic either; my senses for Relics are also very sharp. It was a Ring Arcanist, but I don't know which side they belonged to."
Shade then used Enhanced Space Perception at the center of the Apple Orchard. To his surprise, he truly discovered a small space beneath the ground. It was square-shaped and clearly artificially excavated.
