The elder snorted, startling the mermaid so much that her heart trembled twice.
"Keep a close eye on her and report her whereabouts to me every day from now on."
"yes."
He flicked his sleeves and left, but instead of returning to his elders' hall, he went to the royal palace.
At this moment, Lan Yin was handling some business, and the elder didn't need anyone to announce his arrival; he simply pushed open the door and walked in.
Lan Yin looked up, a hint of displeasure in her eyes: "Elder, what brings you here so late?"
"Do you know it's so late? All you think about all day is your own business. As Qingxun's only uncle, can't you care more about Qingxun?" The elder pointed outside and questioned him.
Lan Yin put down the mermaid silk: "What's wrong with Qingxun?"
"You still come to ask me? Did you know that Qingxun was missing all day today?"
Upon hearing that Qingxun had gone missing, Lanyin did not panic.
He knew Qingxun had gone to find Wanwan.
Thinking this, she picked up the silk again and looked at it casually: "It's normal for Qingxun to like to play at her age."
The elder stepped forward and snatched the mermaid silk from his hand: "Lanyin, Qingxun is the only descendant of the Mermaid King. Even if you are now in power, I will never allow you to be so indifferent to Qingxun."
Suppressing her anger, Lan Yin said coldly, "Qingxun is my niece, of course I will take good care of her."
"How have you taken care of her? You don't even know where she went. All you do is sit here and look at this." The elder forcefully threw the mermaid silk to the ground.
Lan Yin pressed her temples: "I'm dealing with clan matters."
It was he who asked him to take the affairs of the mermaid clan seriously, and it was he who threw away his mermaid silk. Lan Yin didn't know what to do to satisfy this elder.
"I don't want you to handle this now, I want you to go find Qingxun!" The elder was almost frantic with worry, and he vented all his worst emotions on this mermaid king whom he didn't have high hopes for.
"It's one thing for you to run off all the time, but now you've got Qingxun following your example. If anything happens to Qingxun today, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"
"Elder!" Lan Yin, unable to bear it any longer, stood up from her seat and looked down at him: "You've placed people in the royal palace?"
He always sneaked out, deliberately avoiding the palace gates, just so the guards wouldn't know. How could the elder know he wasn't in the palace? The only explanation is that he reached into the palace.
When he was exposed, the elder didn't panic. Instead, he became even more self-righteous: "I'm doing this for your own good. Who knows if you can do a good job as the Merman King? If I don't pay more attention, who knows what the Merman race will become in your hands!"
