This incident made the nobleman angry, and his previous good attitude towards Fei Ting disappeared without a trace. He began to question her about the mermaid clan.
It was only at this time that Fei Ting realized something was wrong, but because she avoided the ocean and had no contact with any creatures in the ocean, she had no idea what this person had sent people to do.
She was already immersed in the perfect love she had imagined, and felt that true love was eternal. So, although she felt a little strange about her own people, she did not investigate it carefully. She just casually addressed the nobleman, trying to change the subject.
Then this "love" was completely broken. The noble could no longer maintain his hypocritical love for the mermaid princess. He tore her cheek directly, and then placed the mermaid princess under house arrest, interrogating her day and night about the gathering place of the mermaid clan.
These were things that the people around them discussed with glee. To them, it didn't matter whether the mermaid princess was telling the truth or not, or whether the person imprisoned in the noble's house was the mermaid princess, or what the fate of the mermaid clan was.
What’s important is that they have something to talk about and have topics to discuss after dinner.
So that's how the word spread.
Chu Ci was searching on land for medicine that could be used to remove the barriers in Jiuxi's body. Jiuxi had been acting very quickly recently. He had stayed in the place where he was bought and used to produce pearls for a long time, and he knew a lot of the dirty things involved.
Soon, everything about the wealthy businessman and his men was exposed. Under the investigation of those who were interested, the truth hidden in the dark side gradually emerged.
He oppressed the people, kidnapped children and women, and forced girls from decent families to engage in adultery. Little by little, all his deeds were exposed. In the end, people's words were so frightening that the rich businessman was forced to hide at home and prepare to find a time to leave the city.
But before he could leave, Jiuqi set fire to everything he had. The rich businessman was disfigured due to the extensive burns, and his house was destroyed. He had no choice but to run into the crowd who were very disgusted with him.
Also, because Jiuqi used magic to set the fire and did not leave any traces, no matter how they investigated, they could not find anything. There were also rumors among the people that he had done too many evil things, so even God could not bear it.
As for how he would survive in the future, that was no longer Jiuqi's business, but Jiuqi was very sure that if he fell into this group of angry people, he would definitely be in trouble.
However, there was not much progress in the completion of Chu Ci's medicine. It was just heard that the noble's home had collected a lot of rare treasures, including many very special and rare herbs.
Although she didn't like the nobleman, since they had done this to Haiyang, Haiyang would eventually repay them without her having to do anything, so Chu Ci didn't pay much attention to it. In the end, she used the name of a wizard and the beauty potion to do business with the nobleman.
Jiuqi had always looked down upon this nobleman, and a large part of the reason for his ending was due to this nobleman. However, since the two had never faced each other head-on, and compared to dealing with him, it was more important to stay with Chu Ci, so he did not include him in the people he wanted to target directly.
