She observed Lu Jingzhi and the others carefully again before she slowly said, "Okay, in that case, you guys just wait here for a while. I'll go get Grandma Mermaid to come over."
After saying that, he turned and walked quickly towards the mountain on Mermaid Island.
Looking at the woman's receding figure, Gu Keke, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but whisper to Lu Jingzhi, "Brother, am I going to live here from now on?"
Hearing Gu Keke's somewhat uneasy and confused words, Lu Jingzhi quickly turned around, reached out and gently touched Gu Keke's little head, and comforted her, "Don't worry. This is your home too. From now on, you have two homes."
After listening to her brother's words, Gu Keke nodded thoughtfully.
Then, she asked timidly, "Then...will I be able to return to the Lu family in the future?"
"sure."
At this moment, a figure came rushing from the top of the mountain and landed steadily in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the person coming was an old lady with white hair and a vigorous spirit.
The old lady was wearing a white robe with sleeves fluttering in the wind.
She had a smile on her face and her eyes were kind and deep.
"Jingzhi, long time no see."
Lu Jingzhi hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Hello, Grandma Mermaid."
"Good, good boy." The mermaid grandmother smiled and nodded, then shifted her gaze to Lu Jingzhi and looked at him carefully.
Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something, and was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Jingzhi, are you wearing a spiritual weapon that can conceal your own cultivation level?"
Lu Jingzhi smiled slightly, "Yes, mermaid grandma."
"Oh, I see." The mermaid nodded in sudden realization, then continued, "Just now, when I saw your aura, I thought your cultivation had surpassed mine."
Then, the mermaid grandmother turned her gaze to the other people present.
When her gaze fell on Gu Keke, she suddenly stopped, as if her whole body was frozen in place.
I saw her body began to tremble slightly, and her lips trembled with excitement.
"Child...child, I...I finally found you!" The mermaid grandma said as she slowly walked towards Gu Keke.
Gu Keke was obviously frightened by the strange old lady in front of her.
She subconsciously shrank into Gu Juan's arms, her big eyes looking timidly at the mermaid grandmother.
"Hello, grandma." Gu Keke said stutteringly.
"Oh...ok...ok." The mermaid grandma nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of love and joy.
Then, the mermaid turned and instructed the two mermaids beside her, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes, "Hurry up and prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain our distinguished guests and welcome them."
Upon hearing this, the two men immediately bowed and took orders and left.
"Also, prepare for the bloodline awakening ceremony."
"Yes, Patriarch."
"Everyone, please follow me to the restaurant! I have arranged for someone to prepare rooms for you to rest and relieve your fatigue from traveling. After you have rested for a while, we will enjoy a sumptuous and delicious meal."
"Grandma Mermaid, you are so polite!" everyone responded.
"How can this be considered polite? You helped us find the extremely noble princess. Such a great favor should naturally be thanked." The mermaid grandmother said enthusiastically with a smile.
In this way, the mermaid grandmother led the group slowly forward, and soon they arrived at the stone steps leading to the mountain.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Grandma Mermaid, the scenery here is truly breathtaking!"
Hearing this, the mermaid grandmother laughed heartily: "Hahahaha... It is indeed beautiful, but compared to the vast and colorful continent, it pales in comparison."
After saying that, Grandma Mermaid turned to look at Lu Jingzhi and asked with concern, "Son, why didn't your master come with you this time? To be honest, I miss her so much."
A trace of worry flashed across Lu Jingzhi's face. He sighed softly, then slowly told the mermaid grandmother what his master had encountered...
After learning the whole story, the mermaid grandmother couldn't help but frown her frost-like brows slightly.
A hint of worry flashed in her deep and wise eyes. "This demon tribe is so numerous and complex, and there are many conflicts and disputes within it that are difficult to reconcile."
"Because of this, they have never been able to unite and form a strong force."
"It is precisely because of this that the forces supported by the Evil Soul Clan were able to easily find an opportunity to advance directly, posing a huge threat to the Demon Clan."
At this point, the mermaid grandmother shook her head slightly and continued with emotion, "It is not easy to become the empress of this demon tribe."
"Although Yan An has outstanding talent for governing a country and can manage the demon race in an orderly manner, she is ultimately too young and lacks sufficient experience."
"Furthermore, her own strength is relatively weak. When facing those who are older, more powerful, and those with ulterior motives, she will inevitably appear powerless."
"The intertwining of these two factors undoubtedly laid numerous hidden dangers for her future path to becoming Empress!"
However, the subject suddenly changed and the mermaid grandmother smiled, a smile as warm and gentle as the spring sun.
She looked at Lu Jingzhi with a smile, her eyes full of admiration: "But... it's a good thing that she accepted such an outstanding disciple like you."
"From this we can see that Yan An really has a keen eye and a keen eye for talent!"
Hearing the praise from the mermaid grandma, Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but scratch the back of his head shyly, and a faint blush appeared on his face.
He responded modestly, "Grandma, you're too kind. I really don't deserve such praise."
