He explained why he was sobbing.
So that's why he left? Lu Qingyan couldn't really understand his thoughts. Perhaps she herself didn't have such high a belief that she would give her life for him.
Lu Qingyan bent down and wiped away his tears, coaxing him, "Xiao Mo, now that Grandpa Clan Chief is gone, you need to take good care of yourself so that Grandpa Clan Chief can rest assured, okay?"
Xiao Mo nodded: "Yes, Xiao Mo will stay with Sister Xiao Rou and will be a good girl."
He spoke with great seriousness, his eyes sparkling.
Lu Qingyan saw clearly that Xiao Mo's eyes were sparkling because he was looking behind her. When he turned around, he saw a familiar face.
It's Huo Jin.
Xiao Mo exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Xiao Rou, who is he? He's much better looking than any of our people!"
Well, actually, their tribe really likes good-looking people, and Huo Jin unknowingly gained a lot of goodwill.
"Xiao Mo, call them all over to board the ship. We'll be leaving soon."
Xiao Mo nodded and ran towards his tribesmen. Then they all followed a strange man onto the boat.
Some mermaids are still very timid even now, and because of this timidity, they always tend to assume the worst about others.
"Hey, do you guys think Xiaorou might be planning to sell us out?" he asked nervously.
They had no idea how prosperous the outside world was, but they were told that some of their people had gone there and brought back disaster.
They once had high hopes for Xiaorou, but now they fear that she might abandon them for some reason. They have left the sea, yearning for it yet fearing it, fearing the paradise that was originally theirs.
"What nonsense are you spouting here?" The determined mermaid glared at him. "Xiao Rou would never be that kind of person."
“That’s right,” the peacemaker said. “Even if you don’t want to believe Xiaorou, don’t you want to believe the Sea God? The people chosen by the Sea God won’t do wrong.”
They were still a little scared when they boarded the ship. They weren't exactly strangers to this world, but they certainly weren't familiar with it either.
On the beach, Lu Qingyan and Huo Jin walked side by side. Huo Jin suddenly spoke up: "I remember waking up here back then."
Lu Qingyan smiled and lowered her head: "You are a blessed person, you will definitely be fine. No matter what terrible things you encounter, you will be able to turn danger into safety."
A smile flashed in Huo Jin's eyes: "Then I'll take your good wishes."
He didn't know whether he was blessed with good fortune or not, but he had indeed escaped death several times. However, he felt that he was definitely not a blessed or virtuous person; he had done good deeds, but he had also done evil deeds.
"Xiaorou, I've thought about your suggestion." Huo Jin said, talking about the arrangements for these merfolk: "Your people all have good voices, and signing with the Huo family's entertainment company will give you good opportunities. It's just that there are a lot of them, so it won't be anything new."
Lu Qingyan nodded. She knew that what Huo Jin said made a lot of sense, but she didn't intend to have everyone debut one by one.
“I’ve thought about this issue too, and I think we could have them form a group.”
"A group?" Huo Jin chuckled. "Xiao Rou, these days everyone debuts individually. Although there are precedents for groups, they're usually in pairs or groups of four."
