Meng Qingyin learned the name of the mermaid from Jiaoze, Jiao Ruxue.

The moment she heard the name, the figure of the silver-haired mermaid suddenly broke into her mind.

The silver hair was indeed as dazzling as white snow.

Could it be a coincidence?

"Is Jiao Ruxue's hair color silver?" Meng Qingyin asked.

Samezawa denied it outright, with a hint of fascination in his eyes: "No, her hair is pure black, like the finest silk."

Meng Qingyin was a little disappointed. It turned out not to be the case.

"I have another question." Meng Qingyin had already listened to Jiao Ze's love story. Now she just wanted to know, "Why did Jiao Ruxue take your Jiao Pearl?"

Every mermaid has its own mermaid pearl, and mermaid pearls are born with spirituality. The vigorous vitality in them will not be absorbed by other members of the same tribe. This also eliminates the possibility that Jiao Ruxue deliberately approached Jiaoze and cheated him of his mermaid pearl for her own use.

But if it wasn't for power, why would Ji Ruxue take the mermaid pearl from Jiaoze?

As a mermaid, she must know what Jiaoze will face without the mermaid pearl, but she still did it. Could it be that... she hates Jiaoze and wishes him death?

"Tell me the truth," Meng Qingyin said with a serious expression, "You didn't steal my love, did you?"

So Jiao Ruxue has no feelings for him at all and wishes he would die?

Samezawa vehemently denied it: "I didn't! When I was pursuing Axue, she didn't have a lover at all!"

Meng Qingyin touched her chin. "That's strange...why would she want to kill you?"

Although he knew that Jiao Ruxue didn't care about his life, Jiao Ze still felt a needle-like pain in his heart when he heard Meng Qingyin say that.

"Besides, if she wanted to kill you, she would have more opportunities. Why did she have to use such a roundabout way as taking away the mermaid pearl?" Meng Qingyin murmured.

Samezawa was shocked and asked in a trembling voice: "You mean...she doesn't actually want me to die?"

Meng Qingyin glanced at him and said, "I'm not her, how can I know what she's thinking? But I can't rule out this possibility."

Hope suddenly lit up in Jiaoze's eyes. "You must help me find her as soon as possible! And..." Jiaoze reminded him tirelessly, "You must not tell any of the mermaids about the loss of my Jiao Pearl."

If her fellow tribesmen knew that Jiao Ruxue had taken his mermaid pearl, she would definitely not have a good ending.

But the truth will eventually come out. After losing the mermaid pearl, he became weaker and weaker, and the matter could soon be exposed.

In order to protect Jiao Ruxue, he must find the mermaid pearl before the truth comes out, otherwise she will become the target of public criticism.

Meng Qingyin assured her again, "I won't reveal it to anyone. You can rest assured about this. Now think about Jiao Ruxue's relatives and friends. Ask them and they might give you some clues."

Samezawa was silent.

Meng Qingyin's eyebrows jumped: "What?"

Samezawa: "She's an orphan, she has no family. As for friends... I've never heard her mention them."

Meng Qingyin almost knelt down before him, "You love her to death, but you don't even know who her friends are?"

Samezawa was speechless for a moment.

Meng Qingyin asked again, "You just said that every adult mermaid must receive the blessing of their ancestors, otherwise the mermaid pearl will gradually dim and eventually lose its vitality. Didn't Jiao Ruxue receive any blessing in the three years since she disappeared? Then she..."

Is she dead?

Facing Jiaoze's gaze, Meng Qingyin didn't say anything.

Samezawa smiled bitterly, "I know what you mean, but I'm pretty sure she's still alive. The Samez have a special sense for their mates, and I can sense her presence."

In the past three years, he stood on the platform during every sacrificial ceremony, looking for that familiar figure, but each time ended in disappointment.

Meng Qingyin asked, "Can you sense more?"

Samezawa shook his head.

Meng Qingyin: "Do you have a photo of Jiao Ruxue? With a photo, it would be easier for me to find her."

Samezawa still shook his head.

Meng Qingyin: “…”

"Forget it, I see you don't know anything, I'd better figure it out on my own." Meng Qingyin had already given up trying to get any clues from Jiao Ze. "By the way, I want to confirm with you, is it okay for the other mermaids to know about Jiao Ruxue? As long as I don't reveal the information about the Jiao Pearl, it'll be fine."

Samezawa: "Well, what do you want to do?"

Meng Qingyin rolled her eyes. "You're clueless. Of course I'll ask other mermaids to help me find someone."

Samezawa choked, "Okay, but this matter shouldn't be made public."

He was afraid that his mother would guess something.

His mother didn't know about Jiao Ruxue's existence yet. He really wanted to introduce Jiao Ruxue to his mother, but she was a little afraid of his mother who was also the leader. He understood her feelings. His mother always looked serious. Sometimes even he was afraid of her, let alone Jiao Ruxue who had no blood relationship with his mother.

He promised her to take it slow and take her to see her mother after she had overcome her fear of her mother.

Therefore, his mother must not know that Jiao Ruxue took away his mermaid pearl.

"I understand." Meng Qingyin left without looking back.

She returned to the Sacred Square, which was still bustling with activity.

Meng Qingyin found Jiao Ling'er effortlessly.

The other mermaids were dancing, only Jiao Ling'er was sitting on a rock, holding her chin with a bored look on her face, which was too eye-catching.

Meng Qingyin swam in front of her and waved in front of her eyes, "Hey!"

Jiao Ling'er laughed when she saw her, "I thought you had forgotten me since the chief invited you to dance!"
