This was Qin Xiyao's first time at the Mermaid Palace, and she was completely unfamiliar with the environment there.
After she pulled Qin Han out of the mermaid queen's bedroom, she hid aimlessly.
However, the mermaid queen became alert because of the sound of Qin Han falling.
"Murong Duo! Look around the lonely palace to see if there is anything missing!"
The Mermaid Queen ordered.
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Murong Duo hurriedly searched the mermaid queen's bedroom thoroughly.
It would have been fine if he hadn't checked, but when he did, he was terrified.
The moment the secret compartment was opened, it was discovered that the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the white mermaid pearl symbolizing royal power hidden inside had disappeared.
He didn't dare report to the Mermaid Queen. He just stared blankly at the empty compartment.
"What happened? Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
When the mermaid queen saw Murong Duo staring blankly at the secret compartment, she couldn't help but come forward.
"Where's my white shark pearl?"
"Hurry up and notify them to seal off the palace!"
When the Mermaid Queen discovered that the white mermaid pearl hidden in the secret compartment had disappeared, her face turned pale with fright.
She ordered Murong Duo in panic.
After all, the white mermaid pearl is a symbol of the queen's royal power. Murong Duo did not dare to waste time and personally led people to capture the thief who stole the white mermaid pearl.
Qin Xiyao, who was trying to escape from the mermaid palace with Qin Han, was now wandering around the palace with Qin Han.
At this time, the two of them, one looking like the mermaid queen and the other looking like Mo Rongduo, fooled the guards. Not only did they not stop Qin Xiyao, they also kowtowed to her seriously.
Qin Xiyao knew that they had mistaken her for the Mermaid Queen!
In order to survive, she didn't dare reveal any flaws until Mo Rongduo ran out of the mermaid queen's bedroom in a panic and informed the members of the mermaid clan: There are thieves, seal the palace gates!
Only at this moment did Qin Xiyao start to get so nervous that her hands almost trembled.
If they were trapped in the merman's palace, she and Qin Han would be exposed sooner or later!
Her invisibility spell can only be used after an hour, so she can't be relied upon at this moment.
"You guys, follow me!"
"You guys go over there!"
......
Murong Duo arranged things in an orderly manner while the guards searched for the thief. Qin Han was so frightened that he couldn't help but ask Qin Xiyao:
"Eldest sister! What should we do now?"
"Find a way to escape first! Try not to get into a fight with them!"
Qin Xiyao took away the treasures hidden in the mermaid queen's bedroom, which was somewhat wrong. As for the feud between Jiao Man and the mermaid queen, we need to understand the whole story before we can talk about it.
She didn't want to conflict with the mermaids for the time being.
However, is it a coincidence that the secret passage of the Shadow Temple is connected to the Mermaid Palace?
Qin Xiyao felt that this matter was a little strange.
Therefore, when he found the exit, he deliberately transformed himself into Wutan so that Murong Duo, who came with his guards, could see him.
After seeing Wutan's back, Mo Rongduo didn't dare to step forward and turned back to the mermaid queen's bedroom to report!
After Qin Xiyao took Qin Han out of the Mermaid Palace, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no pursuers behind them.
"Sister! Why didn't they catch up with us?"
Qin Han asked in confusion.
After all, he was still a little kid and didn't understand all these complicated things.
"You little brat! Do you like being caught by them?"
Qin Xiyao didn't want to tell Qin Han these complicated things, so she pretended to be angry.
"In no mood!"
Qin Han replied aggrievedly.
What did he do wrong?
The eldest sister suddenly lost her temper with him.
"Han'er, close your eyes. I'll take you back to land! There are many things you may not understand now, but when you grow up, you will understand!"
Qin Xiyao saw Qin Han looking aggrieved, so she gave him an ambiguous explanation.
Qin Han is still a little kid with a pure heart. Qin Xiyao doesn't want him to be contaminated by the filth of the world at such a young age.
That would not be conducive to his practice.
Qin Han didn't dwell on the previous question. He closed his eyes, not quite understanding what was going on, and let Qin Xiyao take him back to land.
He held the inner elixir given to him by Qin Xiyao in his mouth. The sea water could not touch him and simply made way for him. However, Qin Xiyao asked him to close his eyes, so he had to do so.
After Qin Xiyao used the Five Elements Escape Technique to bring Qin Han to land, she realized that she had missed President Wu's funeral.
She didn't bother to tidy up her messy clothes and took out the communication device from the Qiankun Ring.
The moment she opened the screen, she found more than ten chat records, seven or eight of which were Qin Yuwei's voice calls to her, but she did not answer them.
The other few messages are from Qin Yuwei:
[Eldest sister! Where are you? ]
Chairman Wu's funeral is about to begin. When will you be back?
[Eldest sister! You don't have to come, the funeral is over!]
[Sister! Why haven't you replied to my message? Did something happen?]
[Tell my sister where you are, I will bring people to rescue you! ]
After Qin Xiyao finished reading the message, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. Qin Yuwei had really changed!
No longer be hostile to her like before.
She was smiling and trying to contact Qin Yuwei using a communication device, but Qin Peng contacted her first.
"Second Uncle! What's wrong?"
Qin Xiyao asked indifferently.
Although Qin Peng is not her second uncle now, she still has to give him the face he deserves.
"Xiyao! Do you look down on your second uncle?"
"I asked you to come to the funeral, and there was no one there!"
The complaints from the other end of the communication device clearly reached Qin Xiyao's eardrums.
Qin Xiyao couldn't expose this fake second uncle for the time being.
Therefore, I had to explain to him politely:
"Second Uncle! I'm so sorry, Xiyao had something urgent to do and has to return to the capital!"
Qin Peng didn't seem to notice that Qin Xiyao was lying, but said to her in a caring tone:
"You are all alone at the Imperial Capital Academy, you are unfamiliar with the place, and your second aunt is also studying at the Imperial Capital Academy."
"Once the Shadow Temple matters are settled, I will send her back to the Imperial Capital Academy. You must take care of each other then!"
What is going on?
After hearing this, Qin Xiyao was speechless!
There is an irreconcilable grudge between her and Bai Niang. Can they take care of each other when they get together?
Hurting each other is pretty much the same, right?
"Okay! Second Uncle!"
Qin Xiyao didn't know what to say, so she had to agree first.
"That's fine! I still have some things to deal with at the Shadow Temple. Let's talk about it another day when we have time!"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qin Peng was afraid that Qin Xiyao would go back on her word, so he found an excuse and wanted to end contact with Qin Xiyao first.
"Second Uncle! Wait!"
Just when Qin Peng was about to press the call button, Qin Xiyao stopped him!
After hesitating for a moment, he put the communication device back to his ear.
After all, if he ended contact with Qin Xiyao at this moment, Qin Xiyao would definitely contact him on her own initiative!
Instead of contacting again and wasting extra time, it is better to deal with the matter once and for all!
