(Perhaps?)

The Sea of Peach Blossoms is where the Phoenix Clan lives in seclusion. One day, however, a cultivator from the mortal realm suddenly arrived.

This cultivator was named Shuang Gui. He was handsome and refined, dressed in flowing white robes, and with just one glance, Jiang Fan began taking his side in everything.

The man said that demons and monsters were wreaking havoc in the mortal realm, and he had come to the Sea of Peach Blossoms to find an immortal who could exterminate them.

He, Jiang Fan, a bastard son who was despised by the Demon Lord and had fled to the Sea of Peach Blossoms, was actually being called "Immortal" one day?

"All right, all right. Just call me Jiang Fan."

"Sure. Then I'll call you A-Fan."

Jiang Fan: ...

Since you're so good-looking, I'll let it slide.

The calamities in the mortal realm had been caused by a war between the demon and monster clans. The Phoenix Clan Chief went to the Celestial Palace to ask the Heavenly Sovereign to intervene and stop the war between the two clans.

Jiang Fan and Shuang Gui, meanwhile, found a bronze divination disc and used it to seek out the fragments of the seven-colored stones scattered across the land. They would reforge the barrier around the mortal realm so that monsters could no longer enter it.

Jiang Fan kept following Shuang Gui like this. It was enough just to watch him. Once they had found all the seven-colored stones, he would shamelessly follow Shuang Gui home. Then, while Shuang Gui led his junior brothers and sisters in sword practice, Jiang Fan would watch from the side.

However, before he could put this plan into action, the demonic energy inside Jiang Fan began showing signs of slipping beyond his control.

At the same time, a kind of beast called a Gui Beast appeared in the Three Realms, living by devouring people's primordial spirits. Those who fell victim to it were reduced to ashes and would never be reincarnated.

At that point, Jiang Fan asked Shuang Gui, "The Gui Beast has the character 'Gui' in its name, and your name does too. Could this beast have something to do with you?"
