In fact, Li Fan initially planned to send Qiong Ying to Penglai as an undercover agent.
First, the journey from the Central Plains to Mo Zhu Mountain was filled with chaos and turmoil. Qiong Ying's temperament and cultivation were unpredictable. How could Li Fan, a professor of the mentor level, have the energy to guard and protect her all the way, watching over a child from the start of her cultivation in kindergarten?
Fortunately, Li Fan foresaw that Zhou Chengxue from Penglai would be coming out soon for experience and was preparing for his transformation. He would probably pass through here to exterminate some wild ghost king for merit. Old Zhou, known for being an honest person and trustworthy, with Penglai's educational resources being the best of Xuanmen, Li Fan decided to send Qiong Ying there for boarding, asking old Zhou to take care of her, mooch a meal off Penglai, and then snatch her back as his personal disciple once she reaches the Nascent Soul Realm.
