However, with so many treasures on the seabed located in the deep ocean, even if the imperial court sends people to salvage them, there will likely be obstacles.
"It would be great if we could move this shipwreck to a place where it would be easier to salvage."
Wan Suizhou didn't want anyone to discover Baili Wanwan's identity, but if all these things were here, Baili Wanwan would inevitably have to take action, which would easily lead to people discovering something amiss.
There was a hint of regret in his voice. If the imperial court had known that the shipwreck was there, it would have exhausted its manpower and resources to try every means to salvage it.
This will likely have some impact on the villagers in the vicinity.
"Actually, Wanwan has a way, but it takes up a lot of space. Wanwan is afraid of hurting Grandpa Wan. Could you please ask Grandpa Wan to move a little further?"
Having studied at the academy for so long, Baili Wanwan has naturally come to understand some of the literal culture, and now she is quite particular about her words and actions.
Wan Suizhou was very pleased to see how polite she was.
After some discussion, Baili Wanwan used the whale 20,000 to bring her to the shore. Then she said, "Grandpa Wan, please wait here patiently. Wanwan will be back soon."
Such a large sunken ship could probably not be moved even a little by herself, so she had no choice but to seek help from Lan Xuerong.
Lan Xuerong has started heading to the deep sea these days, no longer staying in these shallow waters.
Fortunately, she had the token she had given her. Baili Wanwan used the token to summon Lan Xuerong. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lan Xuerong finally appeared before her.
Baili Wanwan ran towards her and hugged her tightly.
"Sister Xue Rong, Wanwan has finally met you!"
At this moment, Baili Wanwan transformed her legs into a fish tail.
Lan Xuerong stared at her, her clear, glassy eyes gradually revealing a teasing smile, and finally pinched Baili Wanwan's cheek.
"You wouldn't come to my temple without a reason. Tell me, is there something you need from me?"
Lan Xuerong was a proud mermaid, but she couldn't be aloof in front of Baili Wanwan.
Who could resist such an adorable little mermaid?
"Wanwan wants Sister Xuerong to help her move these things to a shallower area, because it's really difficult to retrieve them here."
Baili Wanwan tilted her head back, trying her best to look cute as she stared at Lan Xuerong, then tentatively said, "Wanwan is sincerely begging Sister Xuerong. Wanwan knows that Sister Xuerong has boundless magical power and is the most powerful mermaid. If Sister Xuerong is unwilling to help Wanwan, Wanwan can only try to find a way herself..."
Baili Wanwan became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and almost burst into tears.
How could Lan Xuerong tolerate the little girl she liked so much crying in front of her?
She nodded eagerly.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, I'll help you with anything."
Actually, moving these shipwrecks to shallow waters wasn't difficult, but it was impossible to do it with physical strength alone. We had to use magic and the help of various fish in the sea.
Baili Wanwan saw all the enormous creatures in the sea piling up in this direction, swimming forward and dragging the entire ship along with them. The ship began to move forward. The scene was truly spectacular. Baili Wanwan thought that if Grandpa Wan saw this, he would surely faint from fright.
Well, thankfully we managed to get him away.
The boat was quickly moved to shallow water.
The matter was considered a great success. Baili Wanwan was extremely grateful to Lan Xuerong and hugged her tightly, refusing to let go.
"As expected, Sister Xuerong is still the best to me!"
She always has a sweet tongue; a casual remark can make someone happy for a long time.
Lan Xuerong was the same way. She pushed Baili Wanwan down and began to tease her: "In your eyes, wasn't your aunt the best to you? She even abandoned me many times because of her. Do you think I can naively believe what you're saying now?"
Baili Wanwan inevitably felt embarrassed. She was stunned for a long time before apologizing to Lan Xuerong.
"It was true that Aunt abandoned Sister Xue Rong back then, but Wanwan has realized her mistake now. Sister Xue Rong is just as important as Aunt. It is a great virtue to admit one's mistake and correct it." Baili Wanwan finally used the right word. She had heard Confucius say this so many times that her ears were calloused, but she had managed to remember some of it.
Lan Xuerong raised an eyebrow and offered her terms at the opportune moment.
"If you grant me one request, it will be a way of repaying the favor I did for you."
It's only right that she repays someone's kindness by fulfilling their wish.
Baili Wanwan would of course not refuse. Then she stared at Lan Xuerong and finally sighed: "Actually, Wanwan would not easily agree to other people's requests, but since it is Sister Xuerong, then Wanwan will reluctantly agree."
Naturally, Lan Xuerong was happy about this.
"I'll say it again: I want to take you as my disciple, and I will teach you all the techniques."
In fact, Baili Wanwan had long wanted to learn these mermaid techniques. Subconsciously, she always felt that she had once been able to master and apply them.
"Now that Wanwan has become Sister Xuerong's disciple, I hope Sister Xuerong will not find it offensive."
Baili Wanwan was polite, and out of courtesy, she wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Lan Xuerong as a form of apprenticeship ceremony.
Because she really couldn't remember what method they used when they became disciples.
Just as she was about to conjure up legs, Lan Xuerong stopped her.
"Put your leg back."
Baili Wanwan could only go along with what she said, and then she tightly grasped Lan Xuerong's hand.
"Will Master teach Wanwan some of the most basic things today?"
Her face was full of anticipation.
It is extremely important to use underwater objects to achieve one's goals in the sea, and this method can be used in case anything happens in the sea in the future.
Thinking about this, Baili Wanwan became very excited.
"The most basic thing is moving reefs in the sea." Seeing through Baili Wanwan's thoughts, Lan Xuerong wanted to see her eagerness, so she deliberately said this.
Sure enough, Baili Wanwan got anxious.
"Wanwan herself can move rocks, although she can only move the small ones. But that's still a skill she's mastered. It's boring to learn something you already know again."
"You can't have such a thought." A blue light flashed in Lan Xuerong's hand, and then shone towards Baili Wanwan.
"Did you see that blue light? If you can reach this level of mastery, summoning a school of fish will be a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan rolled her eyes. Sister Xuerong was taking advantage of her ignorance.
"I don't want to learn that..."
"Now that you have become my disciple, you must listen to me." With that, Lan Xuerong gathered the blue light in her hand and transferred it directly to Baili Wanwan's palm.
