Meng Qingyin felt a chill run down her spine. She knew clearly that Jiao Ming was truly determined to kill this time.
She kept a close eye on Jiaoming's movements, quickly thinking of a way to escape.
A dark blue light blade suddenly appeared in Jiao Ming's hand. Meng Qingyin forced herself to remain calm and said, "I am someone sent by Huang Teng! If you kill me, Huang Teng will not let it go."
She remembered Ye Yingjun mentioning that the other four gods were led by Huang Teng, so Jiao Ming would probably be wary of him.
Sure enough, upon hearing Huang Teng's name, Jiao Ming frowned slightly: "Aren't you a cat-person friend of Jiao Ze? How come you're someone sent by Huang Teng? What is your true identity?"
Meng Qingyin: "My identity is not important. What is important is that you cannot kill me now."
It seems that Jiaoming is indeed wary of Huangteng.
Jiaoming doubted the truthfulness of her words, and after thinking for a moment, he sent someone to summon Jiaoze.
Meng Qingyin's heart skipped a beat.
Should we summon Jiaoze?
If Jiaoze arrives, won't her player identity be exposed?
She was extremely anxious, but she couldn't show it at all, otherwise Jiaoming would definitely become suspicious.
Jiaoze was soon invited over, but he was utterly despondent and felt as if he had lost his parents.
Seeing his dejected appearance infuriated Jiao Ming, who wanted to scold him to bring him to his senses. However, remembering what Meng Qingyin had just said, she held back from scolding him.
"Just who is this friend of yours?" Jiao Ming asked coldly, his tone less than friendly.
Meng Qingyin secretly winked at Jiao Ze, her eyes practically twitching, but unfortunately Jiao Ze didn't see it.
Fortunately, Jiao Ze did not answer Jiao Ming's question. He was in a state where his soul seemed to have left his body, and he was not paying attention to anything.
Jiaoming suppressed his anger and asked again, but Jiaoze still didn't respond.
Jiao Ming, unable to bear it any longer, said: "Jiao Ze, your mother isn't dead yet, who are you trying to impress by putting on this unlucky look like your mother has died?"
Jiaoze finally reacted. He looked at Jiaoming blankly and gave a bitter smile.
"Get out! Take him away right now!"
Just as the guards were about to take Jiao Ze away, someone in the hall suddenly came to report, presenting a strand of jet-black hair: "My lord, Jiao Er is requesting an audience outside the hall. He says he has something extremely urgent to report!"
Upon seeing that strand of silky black hair, Meng Qingyin was startled.
Something happened to Jiaojiao!
Jiaoming's face turned ashen when he saw the black hair. He no longer cared about Meng Qingyin and Jiaoze and rushed out of the main hall.
At this moment, besides Meng Qingyin, there was only Jiao Ze in the hall, along with two guards who were watching over Jiao Ze. However, their attention was focused on Jiao Ze, and they had no time to pay attention to her.
She knew this was the perfect opportunity to escape, but the thought of Jiaojiao...
Meng Qingyin gritted her teeth and quietly followed.
Outside the main hall, Jiao Er knelt on the ground and reported to Jiao Ming: "Jiao Si has kidnapped Jiao Jiao. He claims he wants to see you and the leader!"
He had intended to persuade Jiao Si to stop harboring such improper thoughts, but then he witnessed Jiao Si kidnapping Jiao Jiao.
"Jiao Si..." Jiao Ming's expression was icy, "Go and take Jiao Nian'en to the place of imprisonment!"
After saying that, she swam ahead towards the place of imprisonment, and the guards followed suit.
Seeing that all the merfolk had left, Meng Qingyin told herself that she would go and take a look. As long as she could confirm that Jiaojiao was safe and sound, she would find a place to hide until the mission was over.
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of the distraught Jiao Ze out of the corner of her eye.
He is Jiaojiao's father, and now that Jiaojiao is in danger, he cannot stand idly by.
Meng Qingyin swam over and said to the two guards, "Didn't you hear what the former leader said? Let Jiao Ze come over too!"
Without saying a word, she grabbed Jiaoze and left.
The two guards exchanged glances. Hmm? Did the former leader just say that the leader should go along?
...
Jiao Nian'en never imagined that one day her uncle would point a dagger at her heart.
Jiaojiao cried out for her mother; her heart was broken.
Terrified, she cried out, "Uncle, what do you mean? Please let Jiaojiao go, I beg you!"
Sameji merely glanced at her coldly: "A good-for-nothing's child is still a good-for-nothing!"
"Uncle, Jiaojiao is also your granddaughter, why did you do this?" Jiao Nian'en broke down and asked, crying.
Jiao Si sneered, "Granddaughter? I have no blood relation to your useless parents. She's just a little bastard." He stared at Jiao Ming with a sinister look, "Jiao Ming, if you want to save your granddaughter, you'll have to exchange yourself and Jiao Ze for her."
Jiao Nian'en: "Uncle, please don't hurt Jiao Jiao! If you want to kill someone, then kill me. Jiao Jiao is so young, she's innocent!"
The Mermaid remained unmoved.
Jiao Ming stared at Jiao Si, but said to Jiao Nian En, "Jiao Si is treacherous and cunning. When you conspired with him, did you ever think about today?"
Jiao Nian'en's tears streamed down her face. "The revenge for my parents must be taken."
Jiaoming sneered, "You really are stupid. No wonder Jiaosi was so easily swayed to kill me with just a few words."
Jiao Nian'en was taken aback. "What do you mean? Didn't you kill my parents?"
Jiao Ming ignored her and stared at Jiao Si: "Release Jiao Jiao right now, and maybe I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
Jiao Si laughed loudly: "Jiao Ming, you don't think I wouldn't dare to kill this little bastard, do you?" As he spoke, he exerted a little force in his hand, and the tip of the knife cut through Jiao Jiao's clothes, leaving a bloody mark on her chest.
Jiaojiao cried out in pain and reached out for Jiao Nian'en to hug her.
"No! Don't hurt Jiaojiao!" Jiao Nian'en shouted, wishing the injury were on her own body.
A flash of anger crossed Jiao Ming's eyes.
Jiao Si said smugly, "Jiao Ming, if you dare to make any rash moves, I really will kill this little bastard. You can try if you don't believe me."
It was absolutely the right decision to let Jiao Nian'en give birth to this little bastard.
At least, she could easily restrain Jiaoming.
However, Jiao Ming actually knew that this little bastard was her granddaughter, and she had indeed been secretly monitoring his every move all these years.
He looked around but couldn't see Jiao Ze: "Where's Jiao Ze? His daughter is in trouble, is he going to cower like a coward?"
Jiaoze heard this sentence as soon as he arrived.
He was somewhat bewildered: "What is he talking about? My...daughter?"
Meng Qingyin pulled him along, and with the guards providing cover, the people confronting them in front couldn't see them at all.
Meng Qingyin nodded: "Yes, Jiao Ruxue gave birth to a daughter for you."
Jiao Ze's eyes widened suddenly. "What did you say?"
Meng Qingyin gestured for him to speak softly, "The little girl who was kidnapped is your daughter, her name is Jiaojiao. And the person who kidnapped her is Jiao Ruxue's uncle, Jiao Si, he wanted to kill you."
She explained the current situation and the relationships between the people in just a few simple words.
Jiao Ze was stunned, then overjoyed: "You mean, Ru Xue loves me too?"
Meng Qingyin: "..." Is this the time to discuss this issue?
She finally began to understand Jiaoming's frustration at her lack of ambition.
Anyone would be devastated in this situation.
