Gradually, Lan Yin left the palace and came to Yu Wanwan more and more often, and each time she came, she stayed longer and longer.

The mermaids found that their mermaid king was always nowhere to be found. What was even more strange was that he always went out with a lot of bags and then came back happily empty-handed.

After it happens many times, it will inevitably attract everyone's attention.

For example, the elders.

The mermaid elder has been troubled by the affairs of the Hot-Blooded Beast Tribe for a long time. He really wants to launch a full-scale attack on the Hot-Blooded Beast Tribe, but this proposal has been suppressed by Lan Yin, who gave the reason that the tribesmen have not yet recovered from the last war.

However, the mermaid elder felt that the Hot-Blooded Beast Tribe had also suffered heavy losses in the last war, and so much time had passed. If they did not quickly pursue the victory and allowed the Hot-Blooded Beast Tribe to recover, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

The elder tried to find Lan Yin to discuss the matter, but he went there several times and came back empty-handed each time. After asking the mermaid guarding the temple about the situation, he learned that Lan Yin's whereabouts had been a mystery for a long time.

In order to find Lan Yin, the elder came to the palace early. When he learned that the mermaid king was resting and could not be disturbed, he did not give up and stood guard at the door of the palace until someone arrived.

He yawned. He hadn't slept well either and was feeling drowsy.

When he was about to fall asleep, he finally waited for Lan Yin.

Just as the mermaid guarding the temple said, they were carrying large and small bags, and no one knew where they were going.

The elder stopped him and said, "Wang, where are you going?"

Lan Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw someone standing by the wall: "Elder? What are you doing here?"

The mermaid elder swam over and said, "I came to see you. I heard that you haven't been in the palace lately. I was worried that something happened to you, so I came to check on you."

Lan Yin put down her bag and used her body to block the view before replying, "Nothing."

The elder frowned at Lan Yin's reluctance to tell him.

The previous mermaid king told him everything and had a very good relationship with him. But now that Lan Yin is the mermaid king, he acts like he’s not telling you anything.

Not only that, he also rejected his own proposal. He really couldn't understand why his suggestions were always not adopted when they were obviously so good and fully considered the future and growth of the mermaid tribe.

The elder sighed.

If only the previous mermaid king hadn't died, or if the previous mermaid king had left behind a prince, then Lan Yin wouldn't have been able to take the throne by chance.

The elder frowned, his tone becoming serious. "King, as the leader of the mermaid tribe, you also shoulder the responsibilities of several cold-blooded beast tribes. You should always remember your status and stay in the palace to handle affairs. How can you act like a cub, thinking about running away all day long?"

Listening to his questioning, Lan Yin pursed her lips.

The elders were always like this, relying on their long tenure to criticize his words and deeds.

But he could also understand it, after all, he was not the mermaid king in his mind.

But Lan Yin felt that he did not relax. Although he often went out, his affairs had been handled in advance, and he had not forgotten his identity. Since he became the Mermaid King, he has been working diligently, hoping that his people would be safe and stable, and working hard to make their lives better.

Perhaps they are both not wrong, but just have different ideas. The elders believe that this kind of happy life must be achieved through plundering, while Lan Yin thinks that the tribesmen should stay away from war.
