Dongfang Minghui marked all the familiar locations in the whole picture, and also accurately marked the treasure location. The little mute was stunned as if he had found a bosom friend, and after she finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding.
Dongfang Minghui proudly handed over the map to Qian Wanyu. She used to be confused about topographic maps, but since the incident with Qian Wanyu's mama, her ability to interpret maps has improved rapidly. Now she seems to be more and more fond of studying these simple unmarked topographic maps.
Looking at the mark of the sleepy dragon seal flowing in her hand, she murmured, "Could it be all because of you?"
The sleepy dragon seal changes direction every once in a while, and it is unpredictable. Whenever she is idle, she will draw on the sleepy dragon seal. There were dozens such pictures scattered in her space ring. Sometimes she'd take it out and have a look. There were all incomprehensible lines, but the strange thing is that the center position of each line was the same, as if they all rotated around a point with various routes changing in between like a maze.
It took Qian Wanyu time it took a stick of incense to burn to quickly recognize the locations on the map, "Let's go there again sometime."
If they find the treasure that the little mute was talking about, they will probably be able to know the true purpose of the Qing Lan Sect people appearing in this area.
Wei Junlan hesitated slightly, "But if we go, will those people find someone who understands formations to break your formation?"
Qian Wanyu turned her eyebrows slightly, looked at Wei Junlan with a half-smile, and said slowly after a long time, "It's not impossible, so—"
"So what?"
"So you stay and sit here to protect their safety.""No way…"
Dongfang Minghui looked at Wei Junlan with some sympathy, and shrugged helplessly, "Seventh sister, when are we going to leave?"
"Tonight."
"So fast." Wei Junlan chased after her, "If you think about it, you can also pick me up, it's very convenient for me to lead the way…"
Qian Wanyu turned a deaf ear and said with a smile, "The safety of this group of merpeople rests on you alone. Only when you are here can their hearts be at ease."
Dongfang Minghui also found it very strange that the group of merpeople had been all focusing on Wei Junlan all this time, "Seventh sister is right, they seem to trust you very much, Wei Junlan, you must have a way of winning people's hearts."
Wei Junlan stared blankly, "I didn't do anything to win their hearts??"
Recusing one group of merpeople from the water dungeon, arranging for them to temporarily rest on this isolated island, and then teaching them how to deal with the enemy… Isn't this series of events just how Wei Junlan gained favorability in front of them?
However, the person concerned has no understanding at all.
"Yes, you didn't do anything, so you have more things to do now."
Dongfang Minghui took this opportunity to pull Wei Junlan to increase her favorability in front of this group of mermen. She checked a little, and found that the merpeople hadn't entered the water, and the wounds on their feet were recovering well, at least they didn't fester.
She handed a few bottles of pills to Wei Junlan, "Clean the area around the wound with clean water, crush the pills, and apply them. You should be able to do this."
"Sure."
"Their wounds will be handled by you then."
Dongfang Minghui was directing from the side, seeing that Wei Junlan was doing well, after watching a few times, she sneaked back to Qian Wanyu's side, "Seventh sister, do you have any intentions in making this arrangement?"
"Um?"
Qian Wanyu was a little surprised, and glanced at Wei Junlan who was busy outside, "The attitude of this group of mermaids towards Wei Junlan is very strange, it's not gratitude, it's not really fear, more like…" An inexplicable respect.
Qian Wanyu was also inexplicably startled by her own thoughts.
In the water prison, she discovered that one of the merpeople's fish tail was pierced by two iron hooks. It was as if after she was dropped inside, a merman had actually jumped in between her and the iron hook allowing it to pierce him instead. This showed that Wei Junlan's fish tail not being pierced wasn't a fluke but that someone else took the fall for her.
The man with four scars on his leg was the merman who took Wei Junlan's place in getting pierced by another hook. He was the leader of the group of merpeople, and his name was Ba Tian.
Ba Tian's eyes followed Wei Junlan around all the time, he even took the initiative to do a lot of work for her.
"Huh?"
Dongfang Minghui didn't know what she was thinking, and hesitated for a long time before she said, "If there's anything strange… I remember before Wei Junlan transformed into a mermaid, a merperson fainted in fear from the scariness of Wei Junlan's face. "
Who knows what happened to that unlucky merman.
That night, the little mute led them to sneak into the bottom of the sea from the other side of the isolated island. Qian Wanyu and Dongfang Minghui swam in the water cover for about an hour, and then returned to the isolated island with the little mute.
"Seventh sister, what are you doing?"
"Shh, look."
Before Qian Wanyu left, she deliberately took away a formation stone, and there was a loophole in the impenetrable formation. The group of people with ulterior motives finally found the isolated island at the same place and there were about twenty people that had just landed. However, before they had time to be proud, they fell into a trap set by Wei Junlan in the forest. Four or five of them were caught by the legs like hunting animals on the spot, screaming one after another.
Wei Junlan heard a scream, and the merpeople who stayed on the isolated island woke up one after another. Ba Tian even sneaked into the forest to investigate and came back soon to report.
"What's the situation?"
"Someone has snuck into the island."
"Bah, bah, crow's mouth, why did the formation fail when Qian Wanyu left?" Wei Junlan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain why. The key was that she didn't have time to think about it. She broke them up into five teams, "Prepare for battle."
"Seventh sister, if we tricked Wei Junlan like this, she will definitely be angry when she finds out afterwards." Thinking in another way, Dongfang Minghui felt that she would be angry if she was treated like this.
Qian Wanyu pondered, she had a hunch that she had to figure out the real situation with Wei Junlan's status among the merpeople, she said lightly, "Don't worry, she won't be angry."
On the contrary, maybe she'll be grateful to them.
The array can defend against foreign enemies, unless there is a real array master on the other side, or the effect of the array stone gradually fades, the group of merpeople will have no problem hiding on the isolated island for months or even years. However, that is of no benefit to them, it would not let them grow through battle.
Dongfang Minghui hesitated to speak, deliberated and decided to support Seventh sister's approach, she pulled the little mute who almost rushed out to help, and said in a low voice, "If you want to wipe out this group of people, you must cooperate with Seventh sister."
The little mute struggled for a while, looked straight at Dongfang Minghui, and only after getting the other party's approval did he gesture.
Dongfang Minghui sighed, then shook her head, "I believe in Seventh sister."
The little mute put down his hands in a slump, and hid in the dark, watching the group of people fall into one trap after another, with a smile on his face, he almost clapped his hands and applauded.
"I didn't expect there to be so many traps on this small island. Everyone pay attention to your steps." The leader was a fat man with big ears. After meeting the unknown group on the island, half of the twenty or so people he led were lost and they hadn't even caught the tail of the other party.
"Jin Ye, this won't work. If we knew about this, we should have let the group of undead land on the island first. Why don't we withdraw?"
"Withdraw?"
The fat man touched the beard on his face, and felt that this place was a bit sinister, "What are we going to do then? Don't forget our mission this time."
"Then… what shall we do?"
The person called Jin Ye took out a small gadget from his space ring, putting it on the corner of his mouth and blew it lightly. The penetrating power of the flute sound was very strong, and it spread far and wide.
Qian Wanyu, who was hiding in the dark, could not only hear their conversation clearly, but also clearly see the gadget in the other party's hand, it looked like an ocarina. Coincidentally, she also had such a flute in her hand, which belonged to the dwarves. It was a masterpiece of an instrument.
There's a small array within the flute, and the sound of the flute could penetrate into the ears of a Spiritual Master, easily affecting the fluctuation of spiritual power within their body.
The sea water around the isolated island was churning, and the little mute was horrified to see merpeople with a large number of rotten spots on their faces crawling up to the shore. Their eyes were empty, and they passed by them unconsciously.
“Seventh sister?”
Dongfang Minghui facing this group of undead mermaids still brought back some memories of return town, "Seventh sister, we must follow the clues to find out who is behind the scenes."
"Shh."
Qian Wanyu put her index finger on the other's lips, and wiped it, "Don't worry, I know."
Dongfang Minghui stared blankly at Seventh sister. When they went to Return Town and caught Xian it ended up involving Meng Yixiao as the person behind Xian. However, both of them are dead now yet the fact that the undead have appeared within the merpeople tribe is actually real. Could it be the person behind it is also from the merpeople?
Recalling that at the Royal Academy, those people had ordered a group of Death Spiritual Masters to capture her. From the very beginning, that person knew who she was!
A cold air rushed from the bottom of her feet to her forehead, Dongfang Minghui felt that he had to find this person behind the scenes or she would never be safe.
Qian Wanyu kept watching the group of undead mermen, completely oblivious to Dongfang Minghui's trembling.
The little mute noticed it and patted the other party's hand and gestured with concern.
Dongfang Minghui shook her head.
The undead merpeople climbed ashore and rushed towards the place where there was light. They opened the way ahead jumping in front even if it was a trap without any fear.
"Hey, Jin Ye, this is a great idea."
"What great idea, I told you to pay attention to that mermaid with the blue fish tail, now you've given me so much fucking trouble." Speaking of this, the fat man angrily slapped him.
The man was stupefied, and when he came to his senses, he rolled to the side of the man named Jin Ye again, and kept saying, "Jin Ye, please forgive me. I-I can make it up."
"As far as you are concerned, I have to hide that matter for you. This is a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself, understand?"
Qian Wanyu was taken aback, the blue-tailed mermaid…the blue-tailed mermaid they were talking about seemed to be Wei Junlan?
Dongfang Minghui also heard clearly, and the two looked at each other, with even more doubts in their hearts.
"Master Jin, it seems to be her."
Wei Junlan twisted off the heads of several undead merpeople then she took the lead, intending to slaughter all these people so that no one would harm the merpeople again. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw a fat man being hugged by another man. The group of people were quite tall, and they looked to be the same as the group of mercenaries on the boat last time, so they should be part of the same group of people.
"Who are you?"
Holding a sword in her hand, Wei Junlan gracefully played with it and a light blue spiritual power approached the fat man's face.
"Damn, it's a mutant mermaid!" Jin Ye has been in the sea for many years, and he knew everything about the merpeople clan. However he also knew some secrets of the merpeople and had never seen such strong spiritual energy from a merperson.
After being taken aback, his frivolous attitude became cautious.
"What fuss are you making, you're the ones who caught the merpeople in the water prison, right?" Wei Junlan had never experienced the battle of the undead in return town. Most of the habits of the undead were things she heard from Qian Wanyu and Dongfang Minghui. After twisting off the head of an undead she flew forward and scattered all the people around the fat man.
"Quick, grab those merpeople!"
"Catch your head, this one is worth a hundred of them!" Jin Ye slapped the man and almost sent the man flying again, "Look at this."
Jin Ye was fat but his steps were fast. An iron chain was playing tricks in his hands, and it flew towards Wei Junlan with a whiz. The chain seemed to have eyes as it was closely chasing Wei Junlan.
After Wei Junlan dodged quickly, the chain was still following her, and she had to stop when her wrist was tied by the chain. Her nose scrunched up, this chain was exactly the same weapon she picked out from the Qian Family arsenal before. When she was imprisoned last time, someone had taken away her space ring and that weapon was never seen again.
Unexpectedly, it was here.
"Very well, fat man, you are dead."
Jin Ye, who hated being called fat the most in his life, was also angry, "I don't know if I will die or not, but I know that if you leave with me, I can let these merpeople live."
"Eat shit."
Wei Junlan didn't even need to think to figure out what these people were thinking about her, and without saying a word, all the fierce wind energy in her body was released.
Dongfang Minghui was not far away, and she could feel that Wei Junlan's spiritual power seemed to have risen a lot. Compared with Seventh sister, her aura was much weaker however it seemed to be reaching very close to the height of Seventh sister.
Could it be for this reason… that they wanted to capture Wei Junlan?
“Seventh sister?”
"Wei Junlan can handle it." Qian Wanyu quietly threw a formation stone back to the previous place, and the flaws in the formation merged together again, she also smoothly eliminated a person who wanted to sneak away from the corner of the isolated island. She was hiding in the dark to help Wei Junlan deal with some of these sneaky guys.
"Seventh sister, why don't we go out?"
"Ba Tian is wary of me. He won't say anything if I'm there." Qian Wanyu explained patiently. The reason why she left was to relax their vigilance and see how the group of merpeople behaved after they left.
The undead merpeople who climbed ashore were not very flexible, probably because their long tails were dragging on the ground all the time. The living merpeople tremblingly touched behind them and smashed their heads as they lay on the ground, all of them were terrified at what they had seen.
As Qian Wanyu expected, Wei Junlan stomped the fat man under her feet within a short time, and forcibly took back her weapon, "Damn it, do you know who this belongs to? It belongs to me, fat man! Your time of death really came early trying to steal from me!"
Most of Jin Ye's face was sunk in the mud, he swallowed a mouthful of mud, and was terrified in his heart. He had gotten this weapon because of his great service last time, and his superiors rewarded him, how would this mermaid know about it?
"Who are you?!"
Wei Junlan took out the chain and whipped him, "I am your aunt!"
After the others saw Master Jin being taken down, they looked around again. The group of undead merpeople who climbed ashore were all lying on the ground, motionless, completely dead. The rest of the human group looked like they had lost their shield and their leader. They all ran back like dogs that had lost their homes fleeing into the darkness.
"Holy Ancestor, should we catch up?"
Wei Junlan was strangling the fat man's neck with a chain, when she heard this cry, she kicked her foot in fright and almost fell down. She turned her head, pointed at Ba Tian, and said, "Are you asking me? "
"Yes, Holy Ancestor."
Ba Tian seemed to be very respectful to her, less afraid and more calm.
Dongfang Minghui's eyes widened in astonishment, tugged on Qian Wanyu's sleeve, opened her mouth and asked, "Seventh sister, what is a holy ancestor?"
"A hundred years ago, there was a mermaid who ascended to the level of Spiritual Saint, he was only one step away from Spiritual God. The mermaids called him the holy ancestor…" Qing Mo shook his head helplessly, "The merpeople have always lived in the sea area, I rarely went outside the Seven Colors Continent, so I don't know what he looks like."
Qian Wanyu didn't want to compare Wei Junlan's appearance with that of the Spiritual Saint a hundred years ago, she was thinking about another thing, "Wei Junlan's current spiritual power level has reached sixth level of Spiritual Monarch, her spiritual power seems to be unknowingly rising. Is it related to the merpeople blood she swallowed that day?"
Qing Mo wasn't sure either.
Dongfang Minghui's head was in a mess. She couldn't figure it out, so she simply assumed that all the factors that could not exist existed, "If they had fed Wei Junlan with the blood of that holy ancestor that day, Wei Junlan would have died because she couldn't bear the blood. No wonder it was so domineering and bestial."
Qian Wanyu raised her eyebrows. They always thought that the reason why Wei Junlan became a beast faster and faster was that she drank the blood of two races, so her situation was much more dangerous than others, however they never thought about the quality of the blood she had been fed.
“Seventh sister?”
Qian Wanyu's beautiful eyes turned to Dongfang Minghui, "You can choose to tell Wei Junlan about this matter."
After finishing speaking, the three of them came out from the depths of the forest, carrying two people who were about to flee, Qian Wanyu looked at Wei Junlan's embarrassed look, and said, "Night attack?"
Wei Junlan asked for a while, but didn't get anything from the fat man's mouth. When she saw Qian Wanyu and Dongfang Minghui, she was immediately happy, "What the- did you plan it in advance, you were not here when the enemy attacked but now that I've done everything, you're back?"
"We did it on purpose."
Wei Junlan was taken aback for a moment, she had thought about it actually but she never thought that Qian Wanyu would admit it so solemnly. She instinctively felt that what happened tonight was a bit unusual, she looked at Dongfang Minghui with a wink, only to see that the other party was nervous. Pursing the corners of his mouth, she looked a little serious.
"Leave this person to me."
Wei Junlan loosened the chain subconsciously, and Qian Wanyu unceremoniously took over the fat man whose mouth was harder than a bone.
Dongfang Minghui watched as Qian Wanyu bound the fat man's hands with her whip, and carried him into the tent effortlessly like a chicken.
"Hey, what stimulated your Seventh sister?"
Jin Ye's screams were soon heard from the tent, frightening the rest of the captives. Dongfang Minghui probably guessed what Seventh sister was doing, and said flatly, "Extorting a confession."
Seventh sister has always used many means, let alone torture she has also used soul searching to find out information.
Wei Junlan was taken aback, and then changed the subject, "Didn't you go on a treasure hunt, you came back so soon, what did you find?"
Dongfang Minghui glanced at Ba Tian who was following Wei Junlan, and hesitated to speak, not knowing how to tell Wei Junlan what she really wanted to say.
"What's the situation, are you hiding something from me?" Seeing her complicated face, Wei Junlan almost panicked herself to death.
"I'm going to see Seventh sister."
Qian Wanyu used soul search as soon as she brought him in, and after searching the memory of the other party, the fat man turned into a scared fat man, looking at Qian Wanyu with fear in his eyes. She digested the other party's memory for a moment, from the memory an unfamiliar name was found, "Seems this group of people wandering in the sea are part of a mercenary group. They were hired by their employers to come to the merpeople's lands just to do these reselling transactions."
"Reselling to whom?"
"Selling them to a group of Death Spiritual Masters."
"W-where are they?" Dongfang Minghui asked eagerly, her teeth chattering.
Qian Wanyu didn't answer her, but knocked the fat man unconscious with a knife blow to the neck, "They have been trading in the sea all the time, it is difficult to track down the whereabouts of those people. Every time, the transactions would be in the middle of the month. The next transaction time should be soon."
Dongfang Minghui's eyes lit up, "Seventh sister, can we pretend to be them and trade with that group of Death Spiritual Masters instead?"
"No."
There were too many loopholes. Even if the deal really happened they could only kill one group of Death Spiritual Masters at most. As long as the person behind the scenes wasn't not found, this kind of thing would keep happening. Qian Wanyu didn't think the idea was good, so she dismissed it without even thinking about it.
"Seventh sister, why not?"
"You have to understand what this transaction is for. If we want to track down their whereabouts, we have to pretend that there are no flaws and send a group of merpeople to those people, especially Wei Junlan."
Aside for Wei Junlan, she had never seen a merperson with a dark blue tail that the other party wanted. If she couldn't hand her over, she would probably be ‘punished'.
The memory that Qian Wanyu searched from Fatty Jin's soul sea indicated that the kind of punishment that would be inflicted would be making that person into some sort of half-undead.
Wei Junlan, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, suddenly heard her name, and rushed in in a moment of desperation, "What do you mean, why does it involve me?"
After throwing the dead fat man out, Qian Wanyu set up a small barrier in the tent, and told the reason why Wei Junlan was targeted.
Ancestor Wei Junlan looked at the two people in the tent blankly: "…"
"You can ask Ba Tian about this matter. I think he is willing to be hooked for you because he has heard rumors about the Holy Ancestor, or because there is something about you that matches his understanding of the Holy Ancestor."
Wei Junlan's slightly sluggish mind quickly understood, "Let me digest it first…"
After she finished speaking, she opened the tent and went straight out.
"Wei—"
Qian Wanyu covered Dongfang Minghui's lips, hugged her tightly in her arms, took a deep breath, and said in a hasty tone, "Ninth Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
Dongfang Minghui stared straight at the tent in front of her. The bonfire outside illuminated the world very brightly. She could vaguely see figures swaying in the tent, and her head nodded inaudibly.
"Ninth Sister, why can't you tell Seventh sister?" Qian Wanyu's voice was muffled. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. In order to take care of Ninth Sister's emotions, she didn't dare to ask more questions. Now, finally, there was only one question left between the two of them.
Dongfang Minghui felt the hands around her waist tightened, until they loosened a little bit, and the warmth behind her seemed to be leaving her. She grabbed the other's wrist with her backhand, "Seventh sister."
"I am here."
Dongfang Minghui felt a little embarrassed to say it, after all, she had planned this matter for a long time, "Seventh sister, I'm sorry, I did something without telling you."
The corner of Qian Wanyu's mouth raised slightly, but her voice was still clear and cold, "It's okay."
"When I was in the elves tribe, I discovered that the white silk that my mother left me was actually from the elves. I begged Her Majesty the Queen to teach me how to refine various fabrics and refine spirit water." After Dongfang Minghui said these words, She felt as if a corner of the stone pressing on her heart had been removed, and then she said slowly, "I saw the painting on the white silk my mother left me."
Qian Wanyu seemed to hear something falling to the ground, it was so loud that she almost thought she had hallucinations in her ears. She pushed her back and looked at her face, staring into her eyes, saying word by word, "What did you just say?"
Facing Seventh sister's serious expression, Dongfang Minghui had the illusion that Seventh sister knew the truth long ago, she swallowed subconsciously, "I know my own background."
Qian Wanyu gently stroked Ninth Sister's white and tender skin with one hand, "Tell Seventh Sister, I will keep it secret for you."
It doesn't really matter if it's secret or not.
Dongfang Minghui subconsciously grabbed one of Qian Wanyu's sleeves, lowered her head and said, "A long, long time ago, I don't know if it was thousands of years ago, there was a medicinal plant that transformed into a human form due to the fortune of heaven and earth. On the way, she fell in love with a handsome young man. Since then, the two have been with each other. After getting married, the medicinal plant soon became pregnant with the crystallization of their love but because the child’s body was still a medicinal plant, she had to confess her identity to him. The men did not dislike her at all for that and took them away from their hometown to create a new ethnic group. Since the lifespan of medicinal plants coexists with the heaven and earth, this new ethnic group also lived a long time and were called the Longevity Clan."
Qian Wanyu's eyes were calm, she kept rubbing the other's little hands, trying to transfer the heat from her body through her hands.
Dongfang Minghui was not surprised when she saw Seventh sister's unsurprising expression so she guessed that the other party knew about it, she said the next thing a little faster, "The Longevity Clan treats people kindly, and the elves were very happy to see them. Coupled with the gentle aura of the two clans, a covenant was concluded, Her Majesty the Queen of the Elves offered the heart of the elves as a betrothal gift, and wanted to wait until the prince became an adult to marry into the bloodline of the Longevity Clan. I never thought—”
The source of all their disasters would come from the heart of the elves.
Dongfang Minghui's eyes turned red when she thought of their fate, "The reason why the Longevity Clan was exterminated was precisely because of the heart of the elves."
Qian Wanyu thought of the group of Death Spiritual Masters outside the Royal Academy that day, who were chasing Ninth Sister for the heart of the elves. Everything seemed to be tied together and everything made sense. She hugged her and gently comforted the other party with her hands, "Don't be afraid, Seventh sister will protect you."
Could she really protect her for the rest of her life?
Dongfang Minghui laughed and cried, tears fell from her eyes, wet the other party's shoulders, and wiped some unknown objects on the other party's clothes.
"Don't cry."
Qing Mo sighed softly in the sea of souls, "Since that's the case, where is the heart of the elves?"
Qian Wanyu wanted to ask, but the other party was too emotional.
Dongfang Minghui cried enough, and waited until the venting was over before slowly saying, "Seventh sister, the heart of the elves is gone, a traitor appeared in the Longevity Clan, and he betrayed the Longevity Clan."
"Traitor?"
"Right."
Qian Wanyu wiped the other person's eye sockets lightly with her fingers, and found that the other person's eye sockets were red and swollen, she rubbed lightly, "Who is the traitor, do you know?"
Dongfang Minghui nodded first, and then shook her head. The white silk records were just evidence of how each generation survived. After saying what was in her heart, her heart was still heavy. The mission she that had been placed on her for generations made her not know what to do.
She snuggled into Qian Wanyu's arms, just hugging her like this, leaning quietly.
Qian Wanyu brushed her hair lightly with her ingers, helping her straighten them strand by strand, but what she thought in her heart was that according to the tradition of the relationship between the Elf clan and the Longevity clan, losing the heart of the elves was of no consequence for the planned marriage to continue. After hundreds of years, it might be that this planned marriage finally fell on the heads of Ninth Sister and Lu Xing.
Thinking of Ninth Sister's attitude towards Lu Xing, and Lu Xing's willingness to burn his life force for Ninth Sister at a critical moment… All of this seemed to be arranged by someone…
"Fortunately, I acted quickly." Qian Wanyu smiled wryly.
"Huh?"
"Hey, sleep for a while."
After the sadness, Dongfang Minghui fell into a drowsy state. After being coaxed by Seventh sister, Dongfang Minghui actually fell asleep.
Qian Wanyu was lying beside her, looking at her sleeping face, gesticulating with her fingers one by one in the void, "I think, even the last time we were there the elf queen had already noticed Ninth Sister's life experience, but she didn't say a word and even sent her off… could it be to protect Ninth Sister…?"
"Knowing about something but not saying anything about it is indeed like the style of the elves." Qing Mo praised, "Even if such a big thing happened and that she was a Spiritual King, Her Majesty the Queen never said a single serious word about that dark history to her. Presumably she also likes your Ninth Sister."
"In this way, I also owe Her Majesty the Queen."
Things have developed to such an extent that it is absolutely impossible for her to let the Ninth Sister out of her sight. In the future, she can only compensate the elves more, and hope that the elves can live a life free from competition.
On the other side, Wei Junlan was about to scratch all the hair off her scalp, she ordered Ba Tian to stay three meters away from her so she could be alone. Actually before when she was seeing those mermaids being so honest she thought they were grateful and therefore obeyed her orders but now that she thought about it, it was actually because of the halo of the ‘Holy Ancestor'.
Distraught, she simply hugged little Lulu and fed two bottles of spirit liquid to her. Little Lulu had grown a lot bigger, she was like a baby elephant cub before but now she seemed a bit ugly, probably because all parts of her body hadn't grown properly.
"Lulu, you are still so hungry?"
Little Lulu stretched out her long nose, curled Wei Junlan's fingers, whimpered for a while, and then returned to her soul sea.
When Qian Wanyu came out, the fat man was still breathing. He was lying weakly by the campfire, and the three mermen took turns guarding him. She glanced at him lightly, and the fat man lost control of himself on the spot.
When Qian Wanyu approached Wei Junlan, she successfully caught Ba Tian's vigilant eyes, as if guarding against a thief.
"There are two paths for you to choose now."
"It's definitely not an easy path for either but let's hear it…" Wei Junlan had a rough idea about Qian Wanyu. As the heroine of the other party, one of her "ideas" may change the pattern of the whole Seven Colors Continent, even if she didn't intend for it to happen so she had to listen carefully to her ‘ideas'.
Qian Wanyu sat next to her patiently, and threw a few twigs into the campfire. These twigs were a bit damp and not easy to ignite. But once it was thrown into the vigorous flames, it was quickly burnt to ashes.
Wei Junlan waited for a while, then turned her head, only to find that the person beside her was in a daze! ! !
"Hey, tell me."
"First, let Ninth Sister check for you whether your blood is completely purified into the blood of the merpeople race. If it's okay then all is still well, if it's not—heh." Qian Wanyu smiled meaningfully, accompanied by some sarcasm.
This made Wei Junlan very upset, "Are you here to make fun of me, or to give me advice?"
"First of all, for the sake of the Ninth Sister, it is natural for me to give you advice. Second, it is very simple. Since someone recognizes you as their ancestor, it means that you must have met the requirements to become that ancestor. You should use this to gather the merpeople and unify them so they can be used by you."
"You're crazy."
Wei Junlan was going crazy, she felt that she shouldn't have listened to Qian Wanyu's words, thinking of her as the majestic young master of the blood fiend alliance, it's still fine if she becomes a mermaid, she never thought of doing something big. This plan of unifying the merpeople race was something way out of her imagination.
Wei Junlan walked up and down restlessly, scaring the mermaids into a panic.
"Is there a third way?"
"Yes." Qian Wanyu smiled, "It's up to you."
Wei Junlan was so angry that she fell on her back and almost vomited blood. After seeing Qian Wanyu walking into the tent, she cursed fiercely, "If it weren't for the fact that you are Dongfang Minghui's wife, I would definitely beat you up. "
Qian Wanyu sneered and returned to the tent. Seeing that the sleeping person was still frowning, she gently smoothed the wrinkles on her brow with her fingers, "Qing Mo, what is the heart the elves?"
Qing Mo thought for a moment, "To put it simply, did you see the tree of life in the elves' tribe last time?"
"Yes."
"The energy gathered by the heart the elves is equivalent to an entire tree of life. Therefore, Her Majesty ging the heart of the elves as a betrothal gift to the Longevity Clan… I can only say it really cost a lot of money, but she probably didn't expect people's greed to be so terrifying. The heart being such a powerful panacea aroused the greed of human beings for treasures."
Qian Wanyu understood. If it was her, she would probably try her best to win this heart of the elves as well, simply because it would make her stronger.
"Ninth Sister, Seventh Sister will definitely find the heart of the elves for you, and I will help you find the traitor of the Longevity Clan…"
After a sleepless night, the next day, Qian Wanyu inspected the entire island before everyone woke up, and found no leaks or loopholes in the formation. She woke up the little mute and said to Wei Junlan, "We need to dispose of those people immediately."
Wei Junlan thought about it then nodded distractedly.
Qian Wanyu frowned slightly, "You are going with us today, Wei Junlan, do you understand?"
"Ah?" Wei Junlan narrowed her eyes, and after three times of repeating it in her head, she understood what Qian Wanyu meant. She immediately said happily, "You mean, you're taking me there?"
"Yeah, I was going to take you with me, but I see that you are not in a good state of mind, so why don't you—"
"No, Miss Qian, I'm fine, I promise." Wei Junlan planned to put aside the topic that had troubled her all night, and continue to think about this question after the treasure hunt was over, "When are we going to leave? What do we need to bring?"
Dongfang Minghui had a good night's sleep and was in a very good state of mind. Except for the slightly swollen eye sockets, everything else was fine. As soon as she opened the tent, she saw Wei Junlan being disgusted by Seventh sister.
“Seventh sister?”
"Ninth Sister, come here."
Qian Wanyu took out some dry food and handed it to her, and also thoughtfully prepared hot water for her.
Wei Junlan watched awkwardly for a while, then called Ba Tian aside, and muttered a few times, "When the formation is activated, most people can't get in. Take them and stay hidden on the isolated island, don't run around."
"Also, the other charm merpeople clan, you must not bully them."
The charm merpeople were relatively weak, but their charm technique is top-notch. If used well, it was an absolutely powerful weapon, just look at the little mute.
Ba Tian nodded slightly, "Yes, Holy Ancestor."
As soon as Wei Junlan heard the name, her head was as big as a cow. She was only a 28-year-old girl and yet she had instantly become the ancestor of a clan… No matter how she thought about it, she felt heartbroken, and stared at Ba Tian hesitantly. After looking at him again and again, it took a while before she managed to say a word, "Ba Tian, let's talk about it later, but don't call me Holy Ancestor in the future."
Ba Tian looked at her suspiciously, as if asking why?
Wei Junlan waved her hand distractedly, "Forget it, we'll talk about everything when we get back."
"Yes, Holy Ancestor."
The heartache couldn't be put into words…
Taking advantage of the early morning, the group quickly dived into the water and swam towards the depths. The little mute led the way, and after a short swim, they arrived at the place where they lost contact last time.
"Is it here?"
