He arranged positions for his four daughters in one go, but the other five children, who got along well with each other, declined. Changji also said he would arrange positions for them, but Jiang Shuyin didn't care.
Changji remained alone, and the people in the palace retreated like a tide.
The palace itself remains unchanged, but everything inside has changed.
Changji asked, "What should we do about the clan leader? We can't face everyone if she dies."
Although she did many irrational things, her people knew very little about them. They didn't really understand what Jiang Shuyin was saying. The clan leader had led them for over a hundred years and came from there to help them rebuild their home. The merfolk would always remember this kindness.
Jiang Shuyin pondered for a moment: "I'll take her away. It's time for the Merfolk to face the world."
Changji nodded and changed the subject: "Then Mother, start teaching me now."
Mental power is one of the few superpowers that requires guidance to be safely mastered. Self-comprehension can be extremely harmful to the brain, which is why it is difficult for external mental power users to reach the intermediate level.
"No rush. You have good talent and you learn quickly. Let me first find out where my companions who came with me are."
Just as Jiang Shuyin descended the nine steps, Xie Yin emerged from a secluded corner and walked over to her.
“I was just looking for you. Qingwu must be getting impatient. Let’s take Changji back first.”
Xie Yin nodded.
Changji felt a strange fear of this person. Even though the other person didn't turn around to look at him, he felt a chill, as if he were being stared at by a demon.
A power shift is taking place within the Merfolk tribe, and the High Priest and the Holy Maiden are busy imparting their experience to the newcomers.
Meng Shen adapted well, but He Hua was not. She wanted to be the clan leader, not a saint with elusive power.
Xiang Xie was temporarily placed under house arrest in a small dark room next to the Hall of Heroes, which was equivalent to an ancient ancestral hall. In the pitch-black environment, something rustled. You must know that this was the Hall of Heroes, where the deceased ancestors were enshrined. Xiang Xie huddled up in a ball, burying his head between his knees and trembling.
Xiang Xie thought the noise would disappear if she waited patiently for a while, but it got louder and louder. She lost her temper: "Are you a dead fish? Don't scare me with these weird things. I'm not afraid. Get lost!"
The sounds outside suddenly stopped, and Xiang Xie, as if finding an outlet for her emotions, burst into tears and curses.
The noise outside subsided a bit, drowned out by her voice. After Xiang Xie cried herself out, she sniffled and leaned against the wall to rest for a while. She was still panting even after falling asleep.
The Holy Maiden brought Hehua back, opened the door and saw Xiangxie asleep. She snorted coldly, "What a heartless fellow. Your first task now is to discipline your people. She is no longer your sister. You need to teach her what she cannot say. Your biological mother will come back. I hope you can win her forgiveness with Xiangxie. This is crucial for the future of the Merfolk."
Hehua was young after all, and was easily coaxed by the Holy Maiden's words. Feeling the heavy responsibility of the life and death of the Merfolk, her cold expression softened considerably.
After giving her instructions, the Holy Maiden returned to help Changji with the clan chief's affairs. The High Priest was unable to attend to other matters, and some tasks were shared by Baoping and his brothers.
When the patrol captain, Lue Sha, woke up, Li was beside him. He learned that the matter was over, and after a moment of silence, he quickly accepted the outcome.
The merfolk were frightened and returned home to rest. Few merfolk were playing outside. In a corner where no one was paying attention, an ugly blue-tailed mermaid swam away quickly.
Now that Lin has been appointed a doctor, she believes that more merfolk will come to her for treatment. Thinking this way, she realizes that the herbs she has gathered will not be enough. So, she carries her basket and decides to go to more distant places to gather more herbs.
She hadn't been out long when she encountered a dark shadow in the desolate northwest corner. Small fish that love carrion were pecking at it. Lin quietly went over to take a look and caught a glimpse of one of them, which was dull and lifeless. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Damn fish, you dare to offend even mermaids. Go away, go away!"
Turning his head, he plucked a few red healing seaweeds from his body and extracted medicinal juice. The juice, mixed with seawater, slowly healed the wounds on the fish's tail. Lin examined the wounds of this unfamiliar tribesman and found them increasingly horrifying.
His skin was unusually old and loose, and the spots on his body made him look dirty and ugly. The beautiful fish scales that merfolk were so proud of were thin and curled at the edges. Lin Zai's nose tingled and her eyes blurred instantly.
"Don't cry." The ugly mermaid's voice was exceptionally beautiful, even more beautiful than Brother Changji's singing.
Lin waited until the effects of the red waterweed wore off, then carried him to the place where the waterweed grew, where he would surely be cured.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor, I'll treat you."
The ugly mermaid looked at her with a kind gaze, like the sea surface touched by a gentle afternoon breeze.
“You can call me Lin, the name I gave myself. There are no trees in the tribe, but I hope that the herbs I plant will one day grow into a forest.”
The ugly mermaid's eyes shone brightly: "I've had that thought before too."
"Then you're definitely not as good as me. I've never even heard of you." Lin's heart skipped a beat: "I'm sorry, I was just too happy today. Actually, you're very capable too. You can come and find me to do big things together in the future."
The ugly mermaid, preoccupied with her own thoughts, said, "Okay."
The water in the area covered with red seaweed was a pale pink. The sap soaked into the ugly merman's body. As time passed, his exposed bare back gradually regained its luster and elasticity, and the lines became more beautiful. The thin muscles of his waist and abdomen also gradually bulged, and his strong, slender arms were casually draped over the seaweed.
Lin was stunned: "I was wrong, you're not ugly at all."
The ugly merman—no, it should be the male merman who regained his beauty—raised his eyebrows and smiled.
It seems he has lost a part of his memory; this place... feels somewhat unfamiliar.
