According to a knowledgeable beastman, Jiuying was eventually taken away by an organization called the Green Bamboo Sect.
When Shen Miao first heard the name, she was completely bewildered. It sounded like the name of a gang, but this was a world of orcs, how could there be gangs?
After Lin Shousheng and Qingchen explained things to her, she finally understood that the Green Bamboo Sect was not an exception; there were many different factions and organizations among the beastmen.
However, Shen Miao hadn't traveled far and had remained unaware of it.
"Do you know this Green Bamboo Sect?" Shen Miao asked the group.
Lin Shousheng said, "I don't know."
Neither Qingchen nor the Gu Master knew, so she had to inquire about the address of the Qingzhu Sect. After getting the address, Qingchen asked her, "What do you plan to do?"
"What else can we do but make them hand over Jiuying?"
“How can we get them to hand it over? If they dare to take people in, they certainly won’t be afraid of you asking for them back. They have a hundred ways to refuse you,” Qingchen said quietly.
Shen Miao raised her chin smugly and said, "That's up to me."
This time, she didn't intend to use any sophisticated methods to force the Green Bamboo Sect. She just wanted to use the most common and easy-to-understand methods: crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. As long as the Green Bamboo Sect could withstand her tantrums, then they would consider themselves the winners!
However, she never expected that she wouldn't even be able to get through the gates of the Green Bamboo Sect.
Here's what happened: Shen Miao arrived at the gate of the Green Bamboo Sect and knocked on the door. The gatekeeper asked her, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
“You’re from the Green Bamboo Party, right?” Shen Miao smiled. “We’re here to join the Green Bamboo Party.”
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately said with a look of disgust, "No, no, we have enough people, we don't need any more."
After saying that, he muttered to himself, "Any Tom, Dick, or Harry who wants to join our Green Bamboo Sect, do they think we're garbage collectors?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Miao immediately became furious.
What do you mean by "nobody"? Even if they were a little disheveled, it was because they fought the Beast God and defeated him. If you're so capable, go and fight the Beast God yourself!
Shen Miao was filled with anger and had long forgotten the instructions Qingchen had given her on the way.
When she said she wanted to cause a ruckus at the Green Bamboo Sect, Qingchen told her that causing a ruckus was useless; she should use her wits and infiltrate the Green Bamboo Sect first.
She thought it made sense and listened to Qingchen's words, but right now, she couldn't hold back any longer.
Shen Miao rolled up her sleeves, pointed at the gatekeeper, and cursed, "What nonsense are you spouting? We are guests from afar. Is this how your Green Bamboo Sect treats its guests?"
"Who are the guests? Our Green Bamboo Sect doesn't have guests as shabby as you. Get out!"
Shen Miao was furious. She slapped the gate in front of the guard and glared at him, saying, "Kid, if you don't let us in today, we'll just barge in. If you're not happy, come and try me."
The gatekeeper gritted his teeth, his face also filled with anger, "You want to fight, huh? Coming to cause trouble in front of the Green Bamboo Sect, you really have some nerve. You just wait."
After saying that, he slammed his hand on the door and ran away in a flash.
Caught off guard, Shen Miao almost had her nose knocked crooked. Furious, she put her hands on her hips and cursed wildly. She had only acted like a shrew when she first arrived, and had started to reason with people afterward. It was the Green Bamboo Sect that had forced her to be unreasonable again.
Before they could finish their cursing, the gate suddenly burst open again, and several tall, burly orcs rushed out, each armed and looking menacing. As soon as they came out, they demanded, "Who's causing trouble in front of our mountain gate? Come, come, stand in front of us!"
“Fine, I’ll stand up then! I’m not afraid of you at all!” Shen Miao stepped forward.
The orcs sized her up, squinting as they said, "You need a reason to cause trouble."
"Don't you know what the excuse is? Hand over our Nine-Headed Serpent!"
Upon hearing the name Jiuying, the orc's eyes flickered, but his face remained expressionless. He merely threatened, "I advise you to leave now if you know what's good for you, or your weapons will be unpredictable."
Shen Miao sneered, "I didn't know the Green Bamboo Sect was such a disgusting group of people. They captured people and wouldn't let them go, and even threatened us. A bunch of maggots."
Several orcs flew into a rage, grabbed their weapons, and slashed at Shen Miao.
Qingchen quickly stepped forward and stood with Shen Miao, engaging in a fierce battle with a group of Qingzhu Sect beastmen.
The Qingzhu Sect beastmen were quite skilled, and since Shen Miao and her group had come from afar and had just fought a battle, they were no match for the enemy and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
The Green Bamboo Sect knocked them all down, tied them up with ropes, and mocked, "Well, you defeated wrestlers, what are you still so arrogant about?"
Shen Miao was so angry that her face turned pale.
Qingchen gave her a look, signaling her to stop talking so she wouldn't suffer any more.
The group was tied up and pushed to a place that resembled a prison. Shen Miao was locked in a room by herself, and once the door was closed, there was no light inside.
Shen Miao was pushed inside, staggered a bit, and muttered a couple of curses under her breath, but dared not speak loudly, afraid that they would hear her and implicate Qing Chen and the others.
The room was dark, and Shen Miao felt as if she were blind.
She never imagined things would turn out this way. Now, she hasn't even seen a glimpse of Jiuying, yet she has become someone else's prisoner, and has also implicated Lin Shousheng and Qingchen.
Although they didn't say anything, Shen Miao still felt uneasy.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. With nothing to do inside, she started thinking about how to get out.
But it was so dark here that she didn't even know what the room looked like, so Shen Miao tried to stretch her legs out to the side, wanting to slowly measure the structure of the room with her hands and feet.
She moved forward slowly, and suddenly stepped on something furry that felt quite nice to the touch.
Shen Miao didn't react for a moment, so she rubbed her foot again. The next moment, a violent voice suddenly rang out: "You're asking for death, daring to step on my tail!"
Shen Miao was startled and quickly withdrew her foot, taking a few steps back. She said with lingering fear, "Is there someone else in this room? Why didn't you say anything earlier?"
"Why should I talk to you? You're belittling others, don't you know how to apologize?" The voice was extremely irritable.
Shen Miao was also somewhat dissatisfied. She wasn't in a good mood to begin with, and upon hearing this, she retorted, "Why should I apologize? You were so loud, you scared me. Why don't you apologize to me?"
After saying this, the other person seemed to stand up abruptly. Shen Miao became a little nervous and took two steps back, asking, "What do you want to do?"
The voice sneered, "Whatever you say, those who offend my Demon Wolf will never have a good end. I'm just feeling hungry, and you've delivered yourself to my doorstep as an extra meal, so I won't be polite!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Miao felt a gust of wind and quickly dodged to the side.
In the darkness, they began fighting the man who called himself the Demon Wolf.
