After the surprise, Li Yifei asked, "Elder, you can actually speak Miao language?"
Yao Lingfu nodded slightly, glanced at Li Yifei, and said, "I don't know much, but I do know some Miao language. Since you went to the Miao Village, have you heard a legend?"
A legend? Li Yifei blinked, his head spinning rapidly. He had heard quite a few Miao legends, but those were all mythological stories, unrelated to Yao Lingfu. Wait a minute, Li Yifei clapped his hands and suddenly said, "Could Elder Yao be the mysterious force forty years ago that halted the war between the White Miao and Black Miao and signed a covenant?"
Yao Lingfu chuckled and said, "Mysterious force hardly. Actually, I am also a Miao person, but different from White Miao and Black Miao. I'm considered a descendant of another hidden branch of Miao people. We're all Miao, what's there to fight over? So, forty years ago, when I saw them fighting to death, I stepped in to stop it."
