What?
Yang Mu was somewhat amused by the question posed by Bai Lu Fei; how could he possibly be a beastman? Since he crossed over, he has been human and has never been able to transform into a beastman.
Bai Lu Fei’s speculation seems a bit exaggerated, Yang Mu thought.
“That’s impossible,” Yang Mu replied.
However, Bai Lu Fei persisted, saying, “Although the beastmen can hide their identity after eating the transformation grass, subtle signs can still be observed. For example… your son.” He pointed to Xiao Bai behind Yang Mu, saying, “No human can grow into a teenager in half a year, and… his behavior doesn’t seem human either,” looking at Xiao Huang next to Xiao Bai.
Yang Mu, realizing these loopholes were exposed, felt a slight chill but was also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, during his cultivation, he instructed the two, Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang, to stay close and avoid humans, preventing any discoveries.
Now that Bai Lu Fei pointed out these flaws, Yang Mu remained calm. He had already suspected that Bai Lu Fei might be a beastman who consumed the transformation grass.
Bai Lu Fei’s ability to recognize that Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang were not human had its reasons. Yang Mu wasn’t worried; beastmen would protect their kind. He had instructed them to stay near and avoid humans during their wanderings in the vicinity.
Having exposed the identities, Bai Lu Fei seemed nervous. His question carried a certain risk. If he guessed wrong and Yang Mu and his companions were purely human, revealing their true nature to the Xianling Sect might lead to consequences.
However, Yang Mu was not in a hurry. Observing Bai Lu Fei’s actions, he had already speculated that Bai Lu Fei might be a beastman who consumed the transformation grass.
Bai Lu Fei, now anxious, asked for a response. Yang Mu, amused, straightforwardly stated, “You guessed half right.”

Bai Lu Fei widened his eyes in surprise.

Most importantly, as a beastman, Bai Lu Fei’s intuition and senses told him Yang Mu was one of them. Being with Yang Mu didn’t evoke the usual discomfort he felt around other humans; instead, it brought a comfortable feeling.
“No, you’re deceiving me,” Bai Lu Fei shook his head.
Yang Mu, somewhat helpless, questioned the reason for deceiving Bai Lu Fei about being human. His constitution was indeed peculiar, but it wasn’t enough to prove he wasn’t human.
Seeing Yang Mu’s silence, Bai Lu Fei pointed at Xiao Bai and asked, “What about him? Is he your adopted son?”
“No, he’s my biological son.” Yang Mu sighed and hesitated for a moment before saying, “This matter is complicated, and I don’t know how to explain it now. Let’s talk when I return.” He needed to find the transformation grass urgently.
Bai Lu Fei nodded reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll wait for your return. Be careful outside, stay away from humans if you encounter them.” His inner conviction still regarded Yang Mu as a beastman.
Yang Mu didn’t bother explaining further. After bidding farewell to Bai Lu Fei, he quickly left the Xianling Sect with Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang. Due to their identities, Yang Mu had to follow Bai Lu Fei’s advice and avoid people along the way.
However, once completely away from the Xianling Sect, he no longer needed to hide the identities of Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang.
Walking away from the Xianling Sect, the three of them encountered further delays. Standing at the foot of the mountain, Yang Mu took a deep breath. The spiritual energy here was thinner than in the Xianling Sect, but the atmosphere was different, giving Yang Mu a distinct feeling.
“Let’s go.” Yang Mu waved to the two behind him, deciding to check the place where he had found the Transformation Grass before.
After taking a few steps, Yang Mu suddenly turned around. Behind him, there were only green trees and weeds, no traces of other living beings. He furrowed his brows slightly; was that fleeting presence just his imagination?
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Huang noticed Yang Mu’s expression and asked.
Yang Mu shook his head, “Nothing, let’s go.” Although he said there was nothing wrong, he remained mentally alert, silently on guard.
Now able to use a sword flying outside, Yang Mu, to save time, took out his flying sword and swiftly brought the two onto it, arriving at the previous location where he searched for the transformation grass.
He accelerated to the maximum speed, also aiming to shake off anyone following him.
“Xiao Huang, check if there’s any presence of transformation grass nearby.”
“Sure.”
In this vast area, Xiao Huang’s mood visibly relaxed. He bounced ahead, helping Yang Mu sense the presence of transformation grass.
The ground here was filled with pits and mess. When humans came to look for transformation grass, they rarely considered protecting the soil, only digging holes to find the grass. With the decreasing human population in this area, most of the transformation grass was likely already dug up.
However, there were always overlooked ones.
With Xiao Huang’s assistance, Yang Mu smoothly found a transformation grass.
As they ventured deeper, there were hardly any humans around.
Concentrating on finding more transformation grass, Yang Mu suddenly sensed the previous presence again. He straightened up and shouted, “Who’s there!?”
Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai couldn’t sense this presence at all.
Startled by Yang Mu’s shout, the two raised their heads in confusion and quickly went on guard.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, with only the faint sound of the wind brushing over the grass.
At this moment, a black figure slowly appeared in Yang Mu’s line of sight.
Seeing the person’s face and sensing their cultivation level, Yang Mu’s tense nerves relaxed slightly.
He thought this person might be here to snatch the transformation grass.
Following him from the Xianling Sect to here, it seemed like they believed he carried some valuable treasures.
