The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Hearing this, Ye Nanhe looked up at his master's position, and the latter nodded.

"Disciple is willing to accompany Junior Sister Hu!" Ye Nanhe volunteered, her voice firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation. Hu Xingtong turned to look at Ye Nanhe, a flicker of gratitude in her eyes. At this critical moment, having such a reliable senior sister willing to accompany her on this adventure filled her with warmth.

Of course, there is more anticipation for side quests.

Bai Chengyan nodded with satisfaction, applauding Ye Nanhe's decision. "Very good, Nanhe, I am very relieved to leave this mission to you. Remember, you must protect Hu Xingtong's safety as well as your own."

"Yes, Master!" Ye Nanhe responded respectfully, then turned to Hu Xingtong and smiled slightly, "Junior Sister Hu, let's go and get ready. Don't keep the demon waiting too long."

Hu Xingtong smiled back, and the two of them left the main hall and went back to their rooms to pack their belongings. Hu Xingtong simply packed a few changes of clothes and daily necessities, as well as a few bottles of healing pills and defensive talismans, just in case. Fortunately, he had prepared well with Wen Zhao, otherwise he would have had to travel light.

“Knock knock knock—” There was a knock on the door, followed by Sun Ze’s voice: “Junior sister…it’s me…”

When the door opened, Hu Xingtong saw Sun Ze standing at the door with a worried look on his face. He asked, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Here, take this..." Sun Ze placed a storage bag in Hu Xingtong's hand, and then introduced: "Here are the pills I refined. There are all kinds of them. I have sorted them out. Take a look when you have time. Be careful when you go out. If you run out of pills, send me a message. Brother, I can't help you with anything else, but my pill reserves are definitely more than what you have accumulated in the past few years."

"So, use it when you need it, don't be polite."

Hu Xingtong put the things away with a smile, looked at Sun Ze and thanked him: "Thank you very much, senior brother. If you need anything, I will definitely send you a message later."

At the same time, Ye Nanhe was carefully checking his magic weapons and items in the room to ensure that each one was in the best condition.

Moreover, Bai Chengyan sat there and helped her count each item one by one, and occasionally slipped some in.

"Master, these are enough. You don't have to release them secretly." Ye Nanhe felt helpless. He was not going far away, but his master acted as if he would never come back.

"No, stuff more in. That kid Zuoya liked to tease you when he was little. He must have bad intentions when he grows up. I gave you these because your master's wife asked me to. If I don't give you these, what if that kid Zuoya has bad intentions?" Bai Chengyan pretended not to hear and stuffed the things in his pocket, looking like a father who was worried about his daughter leaving home.

"Master, it's okay. No matter how playboyish Zuoya is, he won't do anything to me." Ye Nanhe was extremely helpless. He didn't know why his master felt that he would be bullied by Zuoya.

……

Not long after, the two of them gathered again in the main hall to bid farewell to their teachers. Tan Luo and Mu Yingsheng personally escorted them out of the sect gate and watched them go.

"Be careful on your journey and return safely." Tan Luo's voice echoed in the morning breeze, with deep concern and expectation.

Hu Xingtong and Ye Nanhe each said goodbye to their master and set out on the journey to the heartland of the demon clan.

Along the way, the two walked side by side, occasionally exchanging a few words, but more often in silence. They were both silently pondering the challenges and opportunities that were about to face them. Hu Xingtong felt both anticipation and trepidation, while Ye Nanhe seemed more calm and determined.

Finally, at sunset, they arrived at an open area outside Fanyun Sect. Bei Yin had been waiting there for a long time, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing deeply into the distance.

"You are here." Bei Yin's voice was calm and low, as if he had already anticipated their arrival.

Bei Yin nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over the two of them, seeming quite satisfied with their performance. "If that's the case, then let's go." He flashed, transformed into a black shadow, and instantly disappeared into the sky.

Hu Xingtong and Ye Nanhe looked at each other, then spread out their bodies and followed closely behind.

"Where did you get this pair of wings? They look really nice." Zuo Ya saw the pair of blue wings on Hu Xingtong's back through Bei Yin, and asked about their origin while admiring them.

Hu Xingtong didn't hide it and answered directly: "An elder of the sect gave it to me. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in many years. I don't know if he still remembers me."

"Tsk, just go and see it when you get back. No matter how busy you are, you should do what you want to do right away. That way, if it doesn't work out someday, you won't have any regrets."

"Hey, Xiao Nanhe, why did you hit me?" Before Zuo Ya could finish his words, Ye Nanhe slapped him in the face and said angrily, "Say something nice. What's the point of cursing someone to death?"

"Oh, you know me. I just like to speak my mind. It's nothing." Zuo Ya was really humble in front of Ye Nanhe. Even the good-tempered Hu Xingtong felt that his mission was accomplished.

"Xiao Wuzi, they are both like this, do they still need my help?"

[Their relationship was perfectly normal. Ye Nanhe knew Zuoya was his savior, and Zuoya had declared Ye Nanhe his sister in the Demon Clan, so their relationship was well known. This was also the reason why they were not allowed to meet after the final war between the two clans.]

[You can ask them about the specific situation and give me some gossip.]

"Sister Ye, I feel that you have a good relationship with Zuoya...Young Master." Hu Xingtong is a man of action. She does what she thinks, so the next moment after finishing the conversation with the system, she started talking to Ye Nanhe.

"Call me brother, not 'young master'. It sounds strange." Zuo Ya flashed in front of Hu Xingtong and warned with narrowed eyes, like a big dog wagging its tail to please someone. Of course, the person he was trying to please was Ye Nanhe, and Hu Xingtong was just loving Ye Nanhe because of his affection for him.

"Go away, Xiao Xingtong, ignore him." Ye Nanhe pushed Beiyin's big head aside, smiled at Hu Xingtong, and explained gently: "Xiao Xingtong, you joined the sect late, so it's normal that you don't know. Speaking of which, Zuoya is still my savior."

"Back then, the demon race was facing a change in kingship. Many demon beasts were left homeless and crossed the Chongyan Mountains to the Eastern Region. At that time, many areas were plagued by demon beasts, and in some areas, the demon beasts even ate humans. Therefore, the disciples of the immortal sects were all out dealing with the rebellious demon beasts. I originally came from a village in the mountains."

"Because of our proximity to the mountains, our village is relatively prosperous. We have all kinds of mountain products and fruits. Perhaps this is why we attract so many monsters..."

That year, monsters were rampant and killed all the villagers in the village. However, a group of children led by Ye Nanhe happened to escape the disaster because they were playing in the water outside.

But when they returned home, they couldn't help but scream when they saw the bloodstains and even the bloody scene on the ground. The screams attracted the monsters that had not left. At this time, Zuoya, who was playing outside, appeared and saved these children from the mouths of many monsters.
