"Brother Chenghuan wants to find his biological father through my father, but my father is unwilling to say, so the two of them are arguing!"

"Yan Chenghuan's biological father, a demon?" Zhang Xu was somewhat surprised. Was his biological father still alive?

This wasn't mentioned in the original story. Just as Zhang Xu was thinking this, the sound of sixty-five beeps reporting progress appeared in her mind. It was a well-known half-demon. In this world, both demons and monsters are disliked, but the former evokes dislike, while the latter inspires fear. In the original story, Yan Chenghuan's birth mother was the Queen Consort of Chu. Unwilling to endure the loneliness of the palace, she had an affair with a demon after entering the palace, which was discovered, and she eventually gave birth to him. The King of Chu, discovering he had been cuckolded, gathered the power of many cultivators to trap the Queen Consort, who was trying to escape the palace with the demon. During this process, the demon perished.

Are there discrepancies in the original account?

Zhuang Xiyue shook her head: "I don't know the specific details either, because I wasn't even born at that time! But last time when they were chatting in the study, I overheard my father and Chenghuan talking. It seemed that my father wanted Chenghuan to return to Chujing, but Chenghuan disagreed and insisted on finding his biological father first."

"I don't know what Father is hiding. I only know that our family was originally a prominent clan in the State of Chu. I don't know why we came to such a remote place to become the city lord. Perhaps only Father knows the truth!"

The city lord of Miluo City actually looked like an old man with white hair and beard. Logically speaking, a cultivator should not show his age, but this city lord actually looked like an old man!

Seeing Zhang Xu's surprised expression, City Lord Zhuang didn't seem surprised. After gesturing for Zhang Xu to sit down, he asked, "Miss Zhang, is there something you need from me?"

"This junior has come to thank the city lord for his care."

Lord Zhuang waved his hand dismissively: "Since you are Cheng Huan's friend, these are all trivial matters."

Lord Zhuang glanced at them, then looked behind him, somewhat disappointed: "Didn't Chenghuan come?"

Zhuang Xiyue pouted and said, "I don't know how Father offended Brother Chenghuan, he doesn't want to see you now!"

Lord Zhuang sighed and said, "Alas! He's still throwing a childish tantrum!"

The scene became somewhat awkward for a moment, and Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Since the city lord cares so much about Yan Chenghuan, why are there things he doesn't know?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhuang suddenly became angry, his old face instantly turning bright red: "What do you bunch of kids know?"

When Zhuang Xiyue saw her father like this, her pretty face turned as red as his: "Fine, I won't say it then, why are you getting so angry!"

Seeing his beloved daughter storm off in anger, the city lord was helpless and could only sigh and turn away.

"After the matter in Chen was settled, Yan Chenghuan was originally planning to return to Chu Jing."

Lord Zhuang froze on the spot, momentarily agitated: "You mean, he's still willing to go back? He's still willing to reclaim that position?"

What?! Grandpa Zhuang actually wants him to go back and seize the throne? What on earth is going on? How did a perfectly good fantasy romance novel suddenly turn into a political intrigue story?

"Hmph, what do you know?" Seeing his daughter leave, Lord Zhuang no longer cared.

"That position should have belonged to Shuxia in the first place. If Shuxia didn't want it, then it should have belonged to her son. There's no way that the kid should have gotten it."

"Wait, who is this Shu Xia, and who is that kid?"

Grandpa Zhuang rolled his eyes at her: "He didn't tell you anything and you just ran all this way with him?"

"You you you you you!" Old Master Zhuang pointed at her and was speechless!

"How can she be as muddle-headed as Shuxia?!"

Zhang Xu?
