Her gaze rested on the nearby island not far from this one. There was a special vortex symbol painted on it. It was exactly the location of the teleportation array that Han Ye had mentioned that had never been destroyed.
"Master Chen, here is an invitation from the Chen Mansion. Do you want to accept it?" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Thinking of what she had promised Hai Ze, Leng Qingning said, "Send it in."
Upon hearing this, the servant pushed the door open, handed the invitation to her and left.
This is a good opportunity to investigate the teleportation array on the island. If she can really find a way to restore the teleportation array, she won't have to find ways to start with the Chen family.
She disguised herself and quietly came to the back door of the island owner. She saw three or two unremarkable-looking men outside the island owner's house, staring at every move in the house furtively.
Presumably, these were the people sent by the Chen family to monitor her. Leng Qingning certainly couldn't let the Chen family know that she was investigating the teleportation array this time.
She performed the Ghost Step and suddenly turned into a ghostly afterimage, coming and going without a trace, like a breeze brushing across the cheeks of the two servants who opened the door.
One of the servants looked bewildered and asked, "Strange, why did the wind suddenly blow just now?"
The leaders of the surveillance at the corner of the wall repeatedly reminded: "You all keep a close eye on everyone's movements in the Island Master's Mansion. Anyone who comes in or out must be recorded and reported to the Second Young Master."
"yes"
"Strange, where does the wind come from?" The leader touched his cheek suspiciously and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he continued to take his younger brother to watch over every move of the island owner's mansion.
Little did they know that the person they were following had already slipped away quietly right under their noses.
When Leng Qingning arrived at the edge of the island, she blew the blue conch, and a melodious sound rang out. Could Hai Ze really hear the sound? Looking at the conch in her hand, Leng Qingning couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although she had the water-repellent beads and was not afraid of going into the sea, a voice in her heart seemed to tell her that she must bring Hai Ze with her on this journey.
Just as she was wondering whether Haize would hear the sound and come over, a splash of water suddenly occurred.
"Friend, are you calling me? Is there anything I can help you with?" A figure suddenly emerged from the sea. Haize happily slapped the sea surface with his beautiful tail, with a bright smile on his face. Under the sunlight, his smile was coated with a soft, light yellow halo.
"You're finally here, Haize. I've already received the invitation from the Chen Residence. I'll try my best to help you delay tomorrow so you can do what you want. However, there's another important matter that requires your help."
"That's great, I knew you could do it!" Haize showed joy on his face and patted his chest to assure.
"Qing Ning, as long as there is anything I can do to help you, just tell me and I will definitely help!"
"I need you to take me to this place." Leng Qingning spread out the map of the island and pointed to the location of the destroyed teleportation array.
Haize's webbed hands tucked the long, light blue hair away from his shoulders. "Strange, why does this sign look so familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"
"Qingning, come with me, I'll take you there." Hai Ze turned his back to her and was about to swim to the island with her on his back when he saw Leng Qingning floating on the sea very easily. His body was shrouded in a light blue halo, and the surrounding sea water could not enter.
Haize opened his mouth wide and looked curiously at the halo that wrapped Leng Qingning, and gently poked the blue halo with his fingertips. It was soft and elastic, and quickly bounced him back. For a while, he had a lot of fun playing with it.
"Ahem, Haize, don't forget that you still have important things to do."
Hai Ze lowered his head in embarrassment and looked at her like a child who had done something wrong. Seeing that Leng Qingning was not angry, he puffed up his cheeks and breathed a sigh of relief.
The water-repellent bead in the island master's mansion is indeed extraordinary. It can move in the sea water as if it were flat ground. Leng Qingning's speed is not inferior to that of Hai Ze, the mermaid.
The waves in the sea continued to slam against the reefs. The ferocious sea beasts on the seabed seemed unaware of Leng Qingning's presence and continued to hunt their prey as if nothing had happened. The water flowed along Hai Ze's body, creating a long ripple on the sea surface.
Finally, they stopped and talked in front of an island with sparse vegetation and yellowish rocks.
"This is the island on the blueprint." It took less than half an hour for one man and one fish to reach the island.
Leng Qingning followed the instructions on the blueprint and stepped onto the island. She stepped on the hot rocks and walked towards the marked area. Haize followed behind. The hot rocks burned his fish tail. Haize gasped, turned his fish tail into his legs, and followed Leng Qingning awkwardly.
What a mistake! He forgot that the island was exposed to the sun and the rocks became scorching hot. He almost turned into a grilled fish.
After the man and the fish walked for nearly 300 meters, they stopped in front of a flat stone platform. There were some complicated and ancient patterns painted on it, and there were also two lines of strange words on it, but the patterns were badly damaged.
Around the stone platform, there are four stone pillars half as high as waist, and different patterns are also carved on the stone pillars.
Leng Qingning recognized it immediately; the pattern on it was a corner of the teleportation array. Unfortunately, these four pillars connected to the secondary array, and the main array was severely damaged. She and Hai Ze searched for a long time but couldn't find the secondary array.
"Qing Ning, is this the legendary teleportation array you're looking for?"
"You know?" Leng Qingning immediately stood up from the stone and looked at Haize excitedly.
Hai Ze felt a little shy when she looked at him. He said, "I once heard my brother say that five hundred years ago, our mermaids and humans once jointly controlled the teleportation array of the entire ocean. Later, the humans betrayed us, severely injured our king, and took away the Sea God Pearl to monopolize the teleportation array. As for later, for some reason, the human race suddenly had an internal conflict, and the teleportation array on the island was also destroyed, causing our race to be trapped on the island for generations."
"Where did you learn about this? And do you know what this Chen family teleportation array is all about?"
When this matter was mentioned, Haize's face suddenly became gloomy.
"At that time, our tribe and the human race jointly controlled the teleportation array. The teleportation array was kept by the human race, and the Sea God Pearl was kept by our mermaid tribe. The human race did not know that our sea tribe ancestors had placed a restriction on the Sea God Pearl to prevent them from betraying us. Only our mermaid royal family could activate the Sea God Pearl, and the Sea God Pearl was the most important support for the teleportation array."
"The Chen family later used some unknown means to create a fake teleportation array. However, without the support of the Sea God Pearl, the fake teleportation array was destined to not last more than fifty years. They heard rumors from somewhere and captured my sister Hai Mingzhu, forcing us to hand over the Sea God Mirror."
