To put it bluntly, people don't fall in love with food. When Xiaomei mentioned mermaid meat, it showed the status of mermaids in the hearts of the ten major families.
However, the merfolk did not take any effective measures in the face of this situation.
According to Gongsun Chen, not only do most mermaids born within the ten major families choose to reproduce with humans, but every year a portion of the mermaids in the Mermaid Sea are also tricked back by the ten families with sweet words.
Tianning could understand the former, since those little mermaids were born into the ten great families and were instilled with the idea of prioritizing their families from a young age. But weren't the mermaids who came from the Mermaid Sea taught by their older counterparts?
"I don't know," Gongsun Chen said irritably. "I really want to ask what the leader of the merfolk is thinking. Instead of watching his people like this, why don't they find a place where no one can find them and hide so that the whole tribe can live in peace?"
"Hey, Tianning, it's not that I'm prejudiced! My father's aunt, she deliberately entered the Gongsun family, no one forced her. I don't know what these mermaids are thinking, are they crazy? Jumping into the fire pit by themselves..." Gongsun Chen complained all the way.
He harbored resentment towards the mermaids. Everyone outside said the mermaids were pitiful, but from his perspective, as a child whose family was deliberately destroyed by the mermaids, he would never pity those guys!
Just as they were about to reach the gate, a woman's figure appeared outside the courtyard.
Upon seeing the other person, Gongsun Chen's face immediately darkened.
He said irritably, "What are you doing here?!"
"I heard that Wan'er made a mistake and offended you, Xiao Chen, so I specially brought some precious spiritual plants from the deep sea to apologize on Wan'er's behalf. Xiao Chen, you are my older brother, so I hope you won't take it to heart..." the woman said apologetically.
As she was saying this, she tried to hand the things to Gongsun Chen, but Gongsun Chen disdainfully slapped her to the ground.
"Get out of here! I told you I don't want your filth! Don't ever show your face again!" Gongsun Chen's angry voice rose, but before he could continue his tirade, flames appeared in the distance.
Gongsun Wan'er rushed into the woman's arms and asked, "Mother, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Gongsun Chen's father roared, "You unfilial son, do you have no respect for elders or elders at all?!"
"Her? She doesn't deserve it!"
...
A major battle was about to break out. Just as Tian Ning was wondering whether he should find a corner, the woman stepped forward and patted Gongsun Chen's father on the back, saying, "Master, please calm down."
"I just wanted to apologize to Xiao Chen on behalf of Wan'er, but I couldn't find him at Xiao Chen's courtyard, and I don't see him here either. I don't know where Xiao Chen and his guests went, so I can only wait here..."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Liu realized something.
"Gongsun Chen! What were you doing at the Gongsun family residence late at night with people of unknown origin?!"
Tian Ning isn't moving; it seems he's here for her.
"We didn't do anything, we were just taking a walk," Gongsun Chen said instinctively, caught off guard.
"What a fine 'just taking a stroll'," Gongsun Liu naturally didn't believe him. He immediately said, "Guards! Arrest both of them! Today, if you do anything detrimental to the Gongsun family, don't even think about leaving here alive!"
Soon, several servants from the Gongsun family stepped forward to arrest the person.
"stop!"
Gongsun Chen tried to stop him, but no one listened to him.
He was both angry and anxious. Gongsun Yi had been framed by Gongsun Lian and ended up unable to go home. Now she wanted to harm him too!
He tried to stop those people and tell Tianning to leave quickly, because the Gongsun family was not someone to be trifled with.
In the end, they didn't need him at all. The group of servants watched helplessly as they tried to catch Tianning for a long time. She was like an eel, dragging a little kid along, and they couldn't even catch her.
The woman in Gongsun Liu's arms was clearly speechless, but she remained gentle and reminded him, "Master, a Nascent Soul cultivator like her is naturally beyond the capabilities of servants. I'm afraid you'll have to do it yourself."
