Fei Han pressed down on the little female's shoulder and comforted her, "We can't go to the deep sea. Let's wait for Bai Jing to come and then we can discuss it properly."

"But what if something happens to Mo Zhou?" Yu Wanwan really wished she had a phone handy so she could just call Mo Zhou back.

Zhiyang, who was standing to the side, said, "You and your partner should go back. I will help you find Mozhou."

Yu Wanwan looked at Zhiyang.

He continued, "Mo Zhou has never been to the Mermaid Palace before, so he might not be able to find his way. I'll go to the palace and keep watch. As soon as I see him coming, I'll persuade him to go back. He's a cold-blooded beastman, so he won't be killed as soon as he gets close to the palace."

Is it really possible?

“Okay.” Zhiyang wanted to pat the little female’s head, but in the end she gave up: “You go back first, I will help you.”

"Zhiyang, thank you," Yu Wanwan said sincerely.

Zhiyang waved her hand and walked towards the sea without looking back.

When he returned to the palace, Mo Zhou had not yet arrived, but the Elder Hall was already in chaos.

By casually grabbing someone to ask, Zhiyang learned that when Yu Ling led the team back to the palace, they encountered a whirlpool and the entire team was wiped out.

Just then, a mermaid came to Zhiyang, saying that the elder wanted to see him.

Zhiyang didn't say much and just followed.

The Elder Hall was magnificent, no less so than the Mermaid King's palace. The elder sat on the throne at the head of the table, and below him lay some severed limbs and remains, clearly smashed by the whirlpool.

Zhiyang glanced at them discreetly. Apart from recognizing them as guards of the merfolk, there was no way to tell from the severed limbs that they had been killed by harpoons.

Zhiyang stopped below and bowed to the elder.

The elder looked Zhiyang up and down and asked, "Zhiyang, I heard you ran into Yuling and that female on the road?"

Zhiyang nodded.

Elder: "Then tell me what happened." He pointed to the scattered limbs and remains on the ground.

Zhiyang glanced at his hand, then said nonchalantly, "How should I know? I didn't do it."

"Didn't you come back with Yu Ling?"

Zhiyang: "I followed them for a while, but then we encountered a school of piranhas, so I got separated from them. You can see I still have wounds from being bitten by the fish."

He lifted his shirt, revealing the bite marks on his leg, which undoubtedly looked like piranha bites.
