Even hybrid monsters have their day

Geng Miaowan simply smiled and shook her head; she simply couldn't stand Diao Lanrong's arrogant and domineering attitude. Mu Yuebin also gave her a grateful smile, while Bu Luoyuan and Heng Yihao surrounded her, watching her with beaming smiles.

Bu Luoyuan reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Well done."

This is the first time I've ever seen that enchantress rendered speechless.

Heng Yihao also expressed that he felt very happy at the moment. Although the other group members just sat in their seats without saying a word, they all expressed everything with their eyes.

On her very first day in the team, Geng Miaowan made a deep impression on her teammates and won their favor.

Group 101, including Jin Mo and Geng Miaowan, consists of 15 people. Eight of them are on missions outside. Although she already knows most of the people in the office, Jin Mo still gave her a very formal reintroduction.

Everyone was extremely enthusiastic about her arrival, especially Bu Luoyuan and Heng Yihao, who practically idolized her.

After the introductions, Jin Mo led her into his office and solemnly apologized to her, saying that he had taken advantage of her in the Xu Ruwen incident. Geng Miaowan didn't seem to care much and just laughed it off.

The mention of Xu Ruwen reminded her of the locust tree spirit. Upon asking, she learned that the locust tree spirit was the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, which had been guarding the village for hundreds of years. The reason the villagers were acting strangely was because Xu Ruwen had been causing trouble in the village for some time. Therefore, the locust tree spirit appeared in a dream to tell the villagers to stay home after dark and not to let strangers into their houses.

Geng Miaowan never expected the truth to be like this. She had mistaken a good person for a bad one, and even sent a letter to a bad person as if they were a good one. This incident taught her that she could not judge people by appearances, but had to look at them with her heart.

Just then, the office phone rang. After hanging up, Jin Mo said to her, "Dushi Jun wants to see you."

Thinking of what Jiao Lingfeng said, Xu Ruwen had already transferred to the City Hall.

So, he must be looking for her about Xu Ruwen now. The people in the underworld are really efficient.

After completing her onboarding procedures, Geng Miaowan could see signs on the wall indicating the various halls. Soon, she followed the signs and arrived at the City Hall.

The layout of the City Palace and the Chujiang Palace was roughly the same. When Geng Miaowan arrived at Zhan Xisheng's office, Feng Xuanyi, the cold-faced man from that morning, was also there. Seeing her enter,

He glanced at her expressionlessly, then looked down again to continue looking at the documents in his hand.

Zhan Xisheng still had that same smiling face, looking very casual and without any airs. He gestured for Geng Miaowan to sit down and then asked directly, "I heard you're going to see Xu Ruwen. Do you two know each other?"

Geng Miaowan shook her head. "I don't know him. I just noticed one of his moves was quite unique when we fought that day, and I wanted to ask him where he learned it from."

"that is it?"

"Yes." She tried to appear as relaxed and casual as possible.

Zhan Xisheng looked at her noncommittally and then said, "Generally speaking, once a person enters a foreign land, they can no longer explore it."

"Huh?" Geng Miaowan was unaware that the Underworld had such a rule, and Jiao Lingfeng hadn't mentioned it yesterday either. Still in surprise, Geng Miaowan didn't notice that Feng Xuanyi had subtly glanced at Zhan Xisheng when he spoke.

“However, since you are the person who came personally from King Chujiang, I will naturally take care of you,” he thought for a moment and said, “How about this, as long as you can help me with a matter, I will let you see Xu Ruwen.”

"what's up?"

"Go to the human realm for me and find out the whereabouts of a demon. Also, you must not tell anyone about this."

“But… I’m just a complete novice who doesn’t know anything.” Geng Miaowan was a little confused. There were so many people in the underworld, why send someone who didn’t know anything? “I’m afraid I’ll mess things up.”

A bright smile appeared on Zhan Xisheng's face.

He said, "It's alright, you just need to go to that place and do some casual investigation. Otherwise, if I let you meet the person directly, it will inevitably become a topic of gossip."

The implication is that she wants to see people, so she has to do something.

Although Geng Miaowan found it a bit strange, his words made some sense, so she agreed, "But, I wonder what kind of demon City Lord asked me to investigate?"

“Gongye Xuanru”.

"What?" Geng Miaowan exclaimed in surprise, raising her voice slightly.

Gongye Xuanru—if she remembered correctly, this name should be the original name of the body's owner, Geng Miaowan. However, because Gongye Hong disliked her, he didn't even allow her to use this name. Geng Miaowan was a name given to her later by Zuo Lengdan, and it had been used in the demon realm for over a hundred years. Few people knew that her real name was Gongye Xuanru, not Geng Miaowan.

Now Zhan Xisheng is actually asking her to investigate Gongye Xuanru. Does he know something?

Seeing her strong reaction, Zhan Xisheng looked at her with some surprise and asked in confusion, "Do you know Gongye Xuanru?"

Geng Miaowan suppressed her surprise and tried to speak calmly, "I don't know him. It's just that Dushi Jun spoke too softly just now, and I didn't hear him clearly."

Zhan Xisheng nodded with some doubt. Then he told her some things she should pay attention to, as well as specific locations and things she needed to look up.

Geng Miaowan wrote them all down.

Finally, he told her to go to Jiao Lingfeng to get the card and then leave immediately.

After Geng Miaowan left, Feng Xuanyi looked up and asked him, "Why did you let her investigate?"

Zhan Xisheng smiled innocently, "The people in Chujiang Palace are all incredibly shrewd. Even if Ling Feng is willing to keep it a secret for us, it's hard to guarantee that they won't guess something."

Feng Xuanyi nodded, agreeing with his point of view. This Geng Miaowan seemed quite clever, but she wasn't very cunning and didn't know how to scheme.

Upon returning to Chujiang Palace, Geng Miaowan went directly to Jiao Lingfeng. Jiao Lingfeng gave her the card he had prepared beforehand and taught her how to use it, which she memorized. Before leaving, he also gave her a book—"The Essence-Changing Manual"—instructing her to practice the techniques whenever she had free time, as it would help her improve.

Although he felt it was somewhat inappropriate to send Geng Miaowan, who knew nothing, on a mission.

But Zhan Xisheng repeatedly emphasized that she was only asked to go and investigate and would be back soon, and that there was no danger involved, so he had no choice but to agree.

Jiao Lingfeng didn't elaborate on the cultivation manual, so Geng Miaowan casually put it away. She didn't have much to pack, so she returned to her residence, took Xiaobai, and set off.

Jin Mo and the others waited all day but Geng Miaowan didn't return. He asked Jiao Lingfeng and found out that she had gone on a mission.
