The handsome fish bared its fangs and looked at her fiercely and warily, but made no sound.
"That guy is obviously injured, how can he still run so fast on land?"
"The master of the house has ordered that we must capture it and not let it reveal our secret!"
The three men were getting closer and closer, and Leng Qingning's heart was beating wildly. The strength of the three people outside was actually all at the Jindan stage, and among them, the middle-aged man with white eyebrows was the strongest, who was actually at the middle Jindan stage.
Her strength has only recovered to the middle stage of foundation building. Although the Sea God Mirror can temporarily improve her strength and make her comparable to the old man, it is still disadvantageous for her to face three people. What's more, there is a merman of unknown origin here, and she cannot let her guard down.
"Damn, that stinky sea monster can really run!"
What did this fish do to make the three people outside want to kill it? They called it a sea monster. Could it be that it eats people?
Leng Qingning couldn't confirm whether these people were good or bad based on their brief conversation.
"If we go any further, we'll be deep in the mountains. There are ferocious spirit beasts there, so we'd better not go there."
"But how should we explain this to the Patriarch?"
At this moment, one of the middle-aged men with white eyebrows seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked towards the cave on their side. The man and the fish suddenly stiffened, held their breath, and looked towards Shandong nervously.
I don’t know if this concealment formation can deceive the eyes of these three people?
Seeing the middle-aged man with white eyebrows constantly looking this way, another slightly shorter man beside him asked, "Boss, you keep looking over there, could it be that you've discovered something?"
The middle-aged man with white eyebrows did not say much, but walked closer to the cave and stood at the entrance looking at the stone wall in front of him. He always felt that the stone wall here looked a little unreal, so he reached out to touch it, and it felt cold and hard on his hand. Could it be that he was really mistaken?
Leng Qingning's heart was in her throat. Fortunately, her formation was of high quality, otherwise it would have been discovered by these people long ago. It seemed that after these people and the beautiful mermaid left, she would have to move to another place to live.
The middle-aged man with white eyebrows was not good at formations and could not tell whether this place was set up. He said, "Don't alert the enemy yet. I will go back to the Chen Mansion to find Chen You and ask him to check if there is any formation set up here. You two stay here and if there is any unusual movement, send a message to me immediately."
"Boss, don't worry, leave this to us," the two men patted their chests and revealed their big white teeth as they promised solemnly.
Seeing the middle-aged man with white eyebrows leave, Leng Qingning finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then negotiated with the handsome mermaid in a tone of negotiating terms.
"I can find a way to help you get rid of them, but you must swear not to embarrass me or hurt me, otherwise I will directly remove the formation at the cave entrance."
"You humans are so cunning, why should I trust you?" The merman's face, which was difficult to distinguish between male and female, was full of vigilance. He stared at her with his big eyes and puffed up cheeks, looking at her warily, as if he was looking at a bad uncle.
"You have no choice but to believe me now. The strongest person is gone. Only if we two join forces can we get rid of these two people!" The strength of this merman is similar to hers, and his temperament is as simple as a child.
Leng Qingning finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time, "How did you have the courage to attack the most powerful family on the island when you are so weak?"
Should we say that he is brave or that he is naive?
This weakling dared to attack the Chen family in the middle of the night. As the most powerful Xiuxian family on the island, the opponent's strength is definitely not something a small scum like him in the early or middle stage can deal with.
The merman lowered his head in shame when she asked him this. He was at a loss as to what to do and stammered, "I... I don't want to do this either, but, but that bad old man kidnapped my sister. I have to save Mingzhu!"
"Mingzhu is your sister? Which bad old fellow kidnapped her?"
The mermaid is a very shy fish. She just stared at him for two seconds, but the child blushed with shyness, pursed his thin lips, and looked weak and vulnerable.
"I don't know his name, but those people call him the Patriarch..."
Leng Qingning's expression froze for a moment, and she felt as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in her head. The person this handsome fish wanted to kill was actually the head of the Chen family. The Chen family really did some inhuman things.
"How about... we work together? You help me find the Chen family's formation, and I'll help you rescue your sister?" Leng Qingning regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Why did she suddenly say this?
It would definitely be an unwise choice for me to cooperate with this guy.
However, when she saw this guy's harmless face, she felt inexplicably soft-hearted, and even the decision she made became unlike her own.
"Did you do something to me? Otherwise, why would I become so strange?" Leng Qingning looked at the handsome mermaid with scrutiny. When she saw this guy lowering his head with a guilty look on his face, she became more convinced that there must be something wrong with his eyes. It seemed that she couldn't look him in the eye.
The merman was unhappy upon seeing this, and pursed his thin lips in grievance. There was mist in his jewel-blue eyes, and his beautiful tail drooped limply on the ground.
"Yes... I'm sorry, this is the inherent charm of us mermaids... I didn't mean it..." Leng Qingning immediately held her forehead with her hand, it was really a disaster for a handsome man.
"How about this, you've already alerted the enemy today, and must have alarmed the Chen family. It's not appropriate to take action now. You go back first. When we find the right opportunity in two days, it won't be too late to take action."
Looking at the wound on his beautiful tail that destroyed its beauty, Leng Qingning gave him a bottle of newly refined recovery pills. "This is a recovery pill that can heal wounds. You need treatment in your current state."
The merman looked at the white porcelain bottle with curiosity, and now he would not take the pill.
Leng Qingning had no choice but to open the porcelain bottle, pour out a white pill, and teach him how to take it step by step. This guy's hands were icy cold, and unlike human hands, he had webbed claws on his hands.
After taking the pill, the terrible bloody hole on the tail stopped bleeding, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The mermaid's recovery ability was too strong. If it were her, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
The mermaid looked at her with sparkling eyes. "My friend, you are such a good person. My name is Haize, and this is my conch shell. As long as you blow it, I can find you no matter where you are. Use this to notify me!"
Leng Qingning took the beautiful blue conch, told her her name, and put it away.
The handsome fish's eyes lit up when he knew her name, and he was as happy as a child. "My friend, your name is so beautiful!"
