Nan Xian received three "gifts from the mermaids": a bag of pearls, a key, and a parchment scroll.
The parchment scroll contained half a map, with several points marked on it, indicating places where clues were hidden.
But the island is too big to search one by one. She guessed that the complete map must contain clues to the most crucial information, so she decided to form an alliance with the owner of the other half of the map.
Besides her, only Lang Zhuo and Yu Lin were able to obtain the other half of the map.

Nan Xian was very pleased: "Yes, but luckily you didn't fall for his trick. Now I'm sure you're the owner of the other half of the map. Let's not expose ourselves when we're looking for clues this afternoon. Let's split up and search first, then I'll call you to meet up."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!"

He walked to the side, opened the encrypted document behind it, and quickly skimmed through it.
“So he’s Old Master Lin’s son, no wonder—” He looked up at the guests.
Yu Lin was subtly giving Nan Xian a wink when he suddenly looked up as if he had noticed something, and his eyes met He Mingxiao's.
His gaze swept over the phone in He Mingxiao's hand, and he seemed to understand something. He raised an eyebrow and a provocative smile appeared on his lips.
He Mingxiao's eyes flickered slightly. He turned off his phone and watched him with a leisurely air.
Want to play? Of course I'll play with you!
