"Enough!" Lan Yin's face turned even colder, and even her voice seemed to carry ice: "Elder, I am the king now. Your duty is to assist me. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Her usual gentleness was gone, and now Lan Yin revealed the majesty of a superior.
The elder had never been treated like this before, and he was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is," Lan Yin's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of threat in her words. "I didn't want to argue with you before because you're old and have done so much for the mermaids, but people's patience is limited. If you keep pushing your limits and lose sight of your own status, I don't mind holding an elder election for you."
Elder election?
The elder's eyes widened.
He is trying to pull him down from the position of elder!
Lan Yin sat back in her seat and said in a deep voice, "Come here, send the elder back."
The captain of the guards who had been waiting outside heard the voice and rushed in, standing in front of the elder: "Elder, let me take you back."
The elder glared at him fiercely and cursed, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you give me orders!"
He is of noble status and has always been second to none. How could he endure such humiliation today?
The captain of the guards was too lazy to refute him and replied perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, I am just following the king's orders. You should go back and rest."
The chief guard grabbed the elder's hand and pulled him hard.
The elder shook his hand off and shouted angrily, "Don't touch me! I'll walk on my own!"
He pointed at Lan Yin and said harshly before leaving: "Lanyin, just wait for me!"
As soon as Qingxun came back, she was sensitive to the tense atmosphere. She looked at Lanyin and said hesitantly, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Lan Yin rubbed her temples, looking very tired: "I'm fine."
Qingxun glanced around and noticed the shark silk on the ground.
Lan Yin would never throw away such an important thing. The only possibility is that it belonged to someone else.
And among the mermaids, there is only one who is so brave.
She was a little nervous: "Uncle, has the elder come?"
Qingxun knew that they had a bad relationship, but this time it seemed like things were particularly serious.
Lan Yin took the shark silk from her hand and smiled gently at her: "Yes, but don't worry too much, go back and rest first."
He didn't want to tell Qingxun about these things, as it would make her embarrassed.
Qingxun lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
What happened today? One by one, everyone asked her to go back and rest.
Lan Yin patted her head and urged her again.
Qingxun had no choice but to agree.
She turned around, and Lan Yin called her again: "By the way, things have been a bit busy recently. Be careful when you go to see Wan Wan."
The elder had someone in the palace, and he was not sure whether Qingxun would also be watched, so he could only warn her.
Qingxun blinked: "Is it because of the elder?"
Lan Yin nodded.
"I understand. I'll go there less often recently." Qingxun responded obediently.
If Wanwan was discovered because of her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"Should I tell Wanwan about this and ask her to be more careful?"
Lan Yin thought about it, and finally shook her head: "No need to tell her for now."
The little female was already living in fear on the seabed, and he didn't want to make her even more afraid.
"Go ahead."
For safety reasons, Lan Yin later went to Wanwan's place less frequently.
Once, in order to test the waters, he deliberately did not go out secretly, but left the palace openly.
Not long after he went out, Lan Yin realized that someone was following him. He did not act rashly, but quietly sped up. When passing a patch of water grass, he suddenly disappeared.
The mermaid following him searched around for a long time but couldn't find it, and finally chose a wrong direction to swim forward.
Yu Wanwan was staring at the fishbone in a daze.
Whenever I thought about using it to hurt Lan Yin, I felt full of resistance.
"Wanwan, Wanwan!"
Yu Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and found Lan Yin standing behind her, looking at her strangely: "Wanwan, what's wrong with you? I've been calling you but you don't respond."
"No." Yu Wanwan thought of the fishbone on her hand and hurriedly pulled the quilt over to hide it.
However, her action was unnecessary, Lan Yin had already seen it clearly.
He pointed to the fishbone under the quilt: "Wanwan, where did you get this? What are you going to do with it?"
Yu Wanwan, who was caught on the spot, became even more panicked, and her face even turned red due to nervousness.
"Nothing, I just... used it to fix the shell flowers." She took out a handful of pure white shell flowers and held them in front of Lan Yin: "Look, I fixed it."
This excuse was so lame that even Yu Wanwan herself didn't believe it.
Lan Yin looked at the bouquet of flowers, then at Yu Wanwan, then took the bouquet from her and smiled gently: "Thank you, you've worked hard."
He seemed to really believe in himself. Yu Wanwan pursed her lips and raised her hand to wipe her forehead.
She was so nervous that she broke out in sweat!
Lan Yin gently put the flowers aside, then sat down at the table, her star-like eyes looking at Yu Wanwan expectantly: "Wanwan, can you help me press my temples?"
He has been really tired recently and has been following the method taught by Yu Wanwan to relieve himself, but no matter what he does, his head still hurts and he doesn't feel comfortable at all.
"Okay." Yu Wanwan quickly agreed and stood behind him to gently massage him.
