Xiao Rou is still a child after all. There's no need for her to get involved in things like this; these old folks can handle it.
As the clan leader thought this, his gaze softened even more.
Lu Qingyan noticed his change and couldn't help but smile; she had achieved her goal.
As long as this person doesn't lose their temper, they can still have a good talk.
"Those humans are incredibly cunning; not a single one of them is good. You'd better stay away from them. I've emphasized this many times; I don't want anyone to make that mistake!"
"Chieftain," Lu Qingyan interrupted him, "I think we can infiltrate their ranks and see what their schemes are. After all, the seawater is making us increasingly uncomfortable. What if one day we can no longer transform into fish tails?"
"Nonsense!" the chieftain roared. "I just said we're not allowed to associate with those humans. Are you ignoring my words? Do you want to betray your people?"
Lu Qingyan was speechless. She had only said one sentence, why was this old man taking it so seriously? He kept talking about traitors all the time, wasn't he afraid that he might actually utter one?
However, she could only think these words in her heart and dared not actually say them out loud.
Seeing the resentful looks in the eyes of those around her, she spoke up: "The environment is becoming increasingly unfavorable for us. Making this choice is for our survival. Since our patriarch is so opposed, why don't we go and ask the Sea God what he thinks?"
"The sea god?" They exchanged puzzled glances, unsure if the god would really give them an answer.
The old patriarch, however, was very excited upon hearing this and repeatedly agreed: "Good, good, good! I want to see what the Sea God would say!"
The older generation hopes to stay here and doesn't want to leave, but the younger generation still harbors some fantasies about the outside world.
However, this fantasy could only be buried quietly in his heart due to the pressure from his elders.
Now, they all went to the place where the sea god had once descended. There was a large stone tablet there, engraved with intricate patterns, which Lu Qingyan at least couldn't decipher.
The chieftain sighed softly: "The sea god once came here and bestowed upon our people this unique ability. He left this stone tablet, which is proof that he once came here, the only place in this sea that is connected to him."
"Xiao Rou!" The clan chief sternly pushed Lu Qingyan out: "Go and apologize to the Sea God, and see if he will forgive you."
As Lu Qingyan walked forward, she suddenly said, "Grandpa Clan Chief, we've only come to ask him for instructions, not to have me come here to apologize."
As Lu Qingyan spoke, she took another step closer to the stone tablet. She reached out and stroked the tablet, saying, "Supreme God, you once protected this land. We, the ignorant people, are deeply favored by you and have come to ask you whether you would be willing to let us leave this place and integrate into the human world? If you are willing, please light the way for us."
Lu Qingyan's voice was very loud, and all the clansmen who came here heard her voice.
Lu Qingyan felt that such lines were a bit cringeworthy, but that was exactly the kind of tone the old clan chief liked. As long as the matter could be accomplished, it wouldn't matter if it happened once.
However, the old clan chief did not believe in Lu Qingyan's sincerity.
However, to everyone's surprise, after Lu Qingyan finished speaking, the stone tablet emitted a dazzling light.
