Meng Qingyin took a deep breath and said calmly, "You should think about how to save Jiaojiao."
“Jiaojiao…” Jiaoze suddenly realized, “Yes, I must save Jiaojiao! Jiaosi’s target is me, only I can save Jiaojiao.”
As Jiao Ze spoke, he swam to the front of the crowd as if flying.
Meng Qingyin sighed. Jiao Ze's impulsive nature was really not suitable to be a leader. It must have been difficult for Jiao Ming all these years.
She glanced at the group of people facing off in front of her, then quietly swam behind Mermaid.
Jiao Si was completely unaware, staring at Jiao Ze who had rushed over: "Finally decided to show yourself? Kill Jiao Ming, or I'll kill your daughter right now!"
As he spoke, he plunged the dagger a few more inches deeper, so that Jiao Ze and Jiao Ming would know that he wasn't joking.
Jiaojiao burst into tears, and Jiaoze's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a hand, making it hard for him to breathe.
Jiao Nian'en suddenly drew the long sword from the guard's waist, stared at Jiao Si, and asked, "Will you release Jiao Jiao if I kill Jiao Ming?"
Jiao Si laughed wildly: "Of course, have you forgotten? Our initial goal was to kill Jiao Ming! As long as you kill Jiao Ming, I promise I won't hurt Jiao Jiao anymore..." He looked pained, "Jiao Jiao is also a child I watched grow up, and I don't want to kill her either."
Jiao Nian'en knew that Jiao Si's words were unreliable, but she had no other choice at the moment.
She pointed her long sword at Jiaoming.
The next moment, Jiao Ze stood in front of Jiao Ming, his expression pleading and pained: "Ru Xue, she is my mother..."
Jiao Ruxue said coldly, "But all I want is for Jiaojiao to be safe."
The two were deadlocked.
"If you're going to do it, do it quickly, otherwise I can't guarantee what I might do to Jiaojiao," Jiao Si said impatiently.
"Enough, this farce should end now." Jiao Ming suddenly spoke up, coldly saying, "Jiao Si, you don't actually think I care about the life of a little girl, do you? Don't think that just because she's Jiao Ze's daughter, she's my daughter. Don't even think about using her to threaten me."
Just now, she saw Meng Qingyin approaching the courtyard. She moved her fingers slightly and released the restriction on the courtyard from the outsiders.
What needs to be done now is to buy time.
Sameji clearly didn't believe her, and scoffed coldly: "Don't you care about this little bastard? If you don't care, why would you come here to secretly watch her?"
He had already learned from Jiaojiao that an old woman with blue hair often came to visit her and play with her. Who else could it be but Jiaoming?
If he really didn't care, why would he come to play with her so often?
Jiaoming's tone sounded aloof and unapproachable: "Such a tiny bit of affection is not enough for me to give my life for her."
Jiao Si's face immediately darkened. He stared into Jiao Ming's eyes, trying to see even a trace of reluctance or heartache for Jiao Jiao, but there was none.
Jiaoming's eyes were filled with nothing but a thirst for power!
She has no feelings at all!
"Since you don't care about this little bastard, then she's no longer of any use to you." As Jiao Si said this, he kept his eyes fixed on Jiao Ming. If she showed even the slightest hint of pity in her eyes, he could…
Unfortunately, Jiao Ming's expression remained completely unchanged.
Jiao Si was greatly disappointed and laughed angrily: "Well, as expected of the most calm and rational leader, you can even abandon your own granddaughter who is connected to you by blood! I lost again this time, but I won't lose out if I have this little bastard to accompany me on the road to the underworld."
He tightened his grip, intending to fight to the death.
"ah!"
After the screams, Jiao Si's right hand was severed. Meng Qingyin put away her heavy sword and flew forward to save Jiao Jiao.
Jiaojiao called out "Sister" and then fainted in her arms, blood flowing from the wound on her chest.
Jiaoming rushed forward, his heart filled with anxiety: "Is Jiaojiao alright?"
She's nowhere near as calm as she was just moments ago.
Jiao Nian'en rushed over and hugged Jiao Jiao, tears streaming down her face: "Jiao Jiao..."
Jiaoming glanced at the writhing Jiaosi with disgust, and gritted his teeth as he ordered, "Take him away and execute him by slow slicing! Where's Jiao'er? Come here and treat Jiaojiao's wounds!"
Jiao'er immediately stepped forward to check Jiao Jiao's injuries, and soon, a group of people escorted Jiao Jiao away.
Jiao Ming looked at Meng Qingyin with a complicated expression. He did want to kill her, but...
Jiaojiao was also saved by her.
Meng Qingyin clarified: "Don't misunderstand, I saved Jiaojiao not so that you would spare my life, but because I couldn't bear to see Jiaojiao get hurt."
Jiaoming suddenly sighed, "Go, I won't kill you."
Meng Qingyin discussed with her, "Since you're not going to kill me, why don't you return the Mermaid Pearl from the Mermaid Swamp to me? I'll hand it over to him personally."
She shouldn't have given the Jiao Ze pearl to Jiao Ming back then, otherwise her mission would have been completed long ago.
Jiaoming frowned: "What are you planning now?"
Although Jiao Yinyin claimed to have been sent by Huang Teng, this guy was cunning and shrewd, and she didn't believe her story.
She always felt that Jiao Yinyin was up to something.
Meng Qingyin looked completely innocent: "I just wanted to personally hand the mermaid pearl to Jiao Ze so that he would remember my favor."
The reasoning was plausible, but Jiao Ming still didn't believe it.
However, considering that Jiao Yinyin saved Jiao Jiao, she didn't hold it against her.
She gave the mermaid pearl to Meng Qingyin and then asked her another question: "Jiaoyinyin isn't your real name, what's your name?"
Meng Qingyin was not foolish enough to leave her name behind. What if Jiao Ming and Huang Teng were to settle accounts one day and discover her true identity, and find out that she had been completely fooled by her? Would they kill her on the spot?
"My name is Lei Feng," Meng Qingyin said with a smile.
“Lei Feng?” Jiao Ming had no doubts. “I’ll remember you.”
Meng Qingyin smiled and nodded, then went to chase after Jiao Ze.
The palace of Jiaoze was in complete chaos—in fact, everyone else was in good order, Jiao'er was healing Jiaojiao's wounds, and Jiao Ruxue was silently shedding tears, only Jiaoze was in complete disarray.
Upon suddenly learning that he and Jiao Ruxue had a daughter, he was so excited that he wanted to give them the best things in the world.
But seeing Jiaojiao lying there with a pale face, his heart ached as if he had been stabbed.
and……
Jiao Ruxue didn't even glance at him.
Jiaoze felt a mix of emotions.
Just then, Meng Qingyin arrived and directly handed the mermaid pearl to Jiao Ze: "Your mermaid pearl."
After she finished, she checked the task panel and found that the task was completed and there were rewards to be claimed.
Meng Qingyin found Jiao Ze more agreeable, and seeing his dejected appearance, she kindly reminded him, "If you want to win back Jiao Ruxue, you should first resolve the issues between you and your mother, otherwise, neither of you will have a good outcome."
Jiaoming might reflect on himself through this incident, but Jiaoze cannot rely on Jiaoming to change. He must take the initiative to resolve the conflict between the mother and son, otherwise Jiaoruxue will also face a difficult situation caught in the middle.
Jiao Ming lowered his head in thought, then suddenly realized: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand now."
Meng Qingyin left gracefully, completely unaware that her reminder was causing changes throughout the entire Merfolk clan.
