Even hybrid monsters have their day

Upon hearing this question, Ershan suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but then he remembered her identity and Qiu Pi standing behind her.

Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Qiu Pi stepped forward and said to Geng Miaowan, "Since you have other matters to attend to, I will take my leave now."

Geng Miaowan turned to thank him, and he nodded and left. But after only a few steps, he turned back and said to her, "Your father misses you very much and wants you to go back to the demon realm to visit whenever you have time."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Geng Miaowan was stunned for a long time, unable to come to her senses what those words meant. Gongye Hong would miss her? That was simply a huge joke.

The others naturally heard Qiu Pi's words as well, and they all lowered their heads to avoid looking at Geng Miaowan. No one knew what they were thinking.

Only after Qiu Pi had completely disappeared from sight did Ershan speak, "Actually, I came to find you on my master's orders."

"Looking for me?" Geng Miaowan asked, puzzled. "Miao Renfeng? How did he know where I was?"

All those present were of the lower ranks of the Two Mountains, and Miao Renfeng was the most respected person in their Green Mountain Sect, not only because he was the sect leader, but also because his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the sect. Now, seeing this young girl addressing him by his given name, everyone showed indignant expressions.

One of the young men jumped out and pointed at Geng Miaowan, saying, "How dare you! You actually dare to address our sect leader by his given name!"

"Stop being rude! This is the fairy we were sent out to find by the sect leader."

"what?"

"What? She's the fairy..."

The crowd discussed it amongst themselves, but because it was Ershan who said it, no one expressed any doubt.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave first," Geng Miaowan suggested.

“That works too. This place isn’t far from the Cold Mountain Sect. Why don’t we go there first and then discuss it further?” Ershan readily agreed to her suggestion.

On the way to Hanshan Sect, Geng Miaowan heard Ershan recount what had happened.

It turned out that a few days after Zhou Chengyu brought Luo Dongyan back, Miao Renfeng arrived at the Hanshan Sect. During their conversation, they mentioned that Luo Dongyan had been rescued by a young girl accompanied by a thousand-year-old demon and a small white dog. Upon hearing this, Miao Renfeng instinctively knew that the person who saved Luo Dongyan was undoubtedly Geng Miaowan.

Upon learning that she had gone to Phoenix Valley, they sent Ershan and the others to meet her. That's how they ended up encountering her on the road.

After traveling for several hours, they arrived at the Cold Mountain Sect. Before entering human territory, Ershan repeatedly instructed the five disciples who had come with him: They must not reveal anything about Geng Miaowan's background to anyone else.

He knew that once humans learned her true identity, they would likely doubt her words, which might influence her future decisions and directly affect humanity's survival. The matter was serious, and he needed to discuss it with Miao Renfeng before making any further plans.

Just like Miao Renfeng, Ershan never doubted Geng Miaowan's importance.

Miao Renfeng wasn't at the Cold Mountain Sect, but the group still received a great welcome upon their arrival. In particular, Luo Dongyan's father, Luo Haifeng, despite being injured, personally came to thank her for saving his daughter.

Luo Dongyan, needless to say, was even more eager. She had always liked Geng Miaowan, and now that she had come to the Hanshan Sect, she insisted that she stay longer. However, Geng Miaowan was anxious to see Miao Renfeng, and although Ershan had come to find her on his orders, he stammered and couldn't give a clear explanation.

She had a feeling that Miao Renfeng must have something important to tell her if he was looking for her.

A few days later, she finally arrived at the Green Mountain Sect.

The Green Mountain Sect remained as quiet and serene as ever, seemingly unaffected by the war.

Miao Renfeng greeted Geng Miaowan with the highest honors of the Qingshan Sect. All the disciples of the Qingshan Sect eagerly awaited to see who this person was who had moved even their sect leader.

But all they saw were several figures flying through the air. Before they could even see who they were, they had vanished into the horizon.

The group stopped at the training ground outside the main hall. Three hundred years ago, it was here that the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect fought a fierce battle against the demons. Although the Green Mountain Sect ultimately emerged victorious, they also suffered heavy losses in that battle.

Upon entering the main hall, Geng Miaowan saw the statue next to it. Looking at Yin Qianze's long-unseen face, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing her staring blankly at Yin Qianze's statue, Miao Renfeng said, "In order to drive the demons out of the Green Mountain Sect, Uncle Yin sacrificed his own life to activate the mountain-protecting formation. Therefore, I ordered people to erect his statue here to remind all the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect to never forget the harm the demons have done to the Green Mountain Sect and even to humanity."

Upon hearing his explanation, Geng Miaowan didn't say anything, but glanced at Yin Qianze's statue with a strange expression before entering the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Miao Renfeng led her to the seat of honor before taking his own seat. Looking at this girl whose appearance hadn't changed in three hundred years, he was filled with emotion.

Miao Renfeng explained the general situation of the world to her.

Geng Miaowan had already learned quite a bit about the current situation in the world, which was almost a four-way balance of power, from Luo Dongyan, although Miao Renfeng had explained it in more detail.

After he finished speaking, Geng Miaowan thought about it again before saying, "So, you mean that since Zuo Lengdan died, Fengqi Valley has become a team with an ambiguous stance?"

"You can say that."

"Then why didn't you agree when Zuo Lengdan wanted to cooperate with you in the first place?"

"This..." Miao Renfeng's face showed a troubled expression. "Humans have deep-seated resentment towards demons. It's really difficult to get them to put aside their prejudices and agree to join forces with demons. After all, the alliance with humans isn't something I can decide alone..."

Geng Miaowan nodded; what he said sounded quite reasonable.

"Miss Geng came from Phoenix Perch Valley. Is there anything unusual there?" Ershan asked.

“There’s nothing unusual, but…” Thinking of Zuo Qin’s attitude, she felt a little uneasy. “They’re convinced that Zuo Lengdan was killed by your Green Mountain Sect’s disciples, and they’ve been looking for an opportunity to take revenge.” (To be continued.)
