Meng Hongyao almost jumped up, her aloof demeanor teetering on the brink of collapse, "Ran away? How could you let her run? In this vast world, once she's escaped, where can we catch her?"
Xia Xin heard her words and could only glance at Jiangli with a look of resignation.
Meng Hongyao saw his expression and immediately understood. She turned to Jiangli, stunned, "Abbot... let her escape?"
Jiangli curved his lips, "When did I say I let her escape?"
Meng Hongyao: "...Then what does 'ran away' mean?"
"Her skin is already peeling. She's been maintaining the human appearance for a reason—I guess it's because of her family. She doesn't want her parents and children to see her true form, and she still has a family to care for. She likely won't just run away directly; I suspect she's gone back to the inn."
Upon hearing Jiangli's words, Meng Hongyao was puzzled: "Why would she go back to the inn? There are our people there; she should know that, right?"
