A life of clearness

Chapter 616 Uneasy
"The six Mermaid Ears existed before the beginning of the era. I have been looking for the whereabouts of this last Mermaid Ear for countless years. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. However, Master Futu is a Master after all, so it is normal for him to possess this treasure."

Lord Bai Mohai withdrew his hand.

Rong Qing also took back the Mermaid Ear.

This was given to her by Taoist Li Tao thousands of years ago, so of course Lord Bai Mohai couldn't find it. Rong Qing just felt guilty because she put all the blame on Lord Futu. I hope Lord Bai Mohai won't confront Lord Futu about this.

"If you can return it to me, I'll owe you a favor."

Rong Qing sighed deeply: "The Mermaid Ear was given by the Lord. It can be said to be a gift, but it is not for me to decide whether to keep it or not. Without the Lord's approval, I dare not even lend it out, let alone give it as a gift."

Rong Qing could roughly guess why Sea Lord Bai Mo had been searching for the last Mermaid Ear for so many years.

The Mermaid Ear, as the name implies, is the Mermaid Ear of the Mermaid. After the Mermaid Emperor's death, his ear, as a relic of the Mermaid Emperor, must have a very important meaning to the Mermaid Clan. This is why Lord Bai Mohai disregarded Lord Changsheng's face and asked for it directly.

Lord Bai Mo seemed to understand what Rong Qing was thinking: "The Mermaid Ear is actually of no use to my strength growth. But it has a special meaning: the Mermaid Emperor was once my husband, after all, and I can't let his relics wander around. Besides, my child has the blood of the Mermaid Emperor, and the Mermaid Ear can be of great benefit to his cultivation. That's why I shamelessly asked you for it."

The gentle gaze implies expectation.

Rong Qing frowned slightly, deliberately showing a little hesitation: "Since there is such a previous situation... After I report it to the Lord, the Lord will definitely make up his mind, so Lord Hai does not need to worry."

In short, it is impossible to borrow.

As for the matter of borrowing and returning, Rong Qing thought carefully and decided not to trust the character of Lord Changsheng too much.

Lord Bai Mohai couldn't help but chuckle, as if he was making fun of Rong Qing's fear of facing a great enemy.

"It's so rare..." Bai Mo looked at the black-clothed female cultivator and murmured with some nostalgia. Her gaze was so light that it seemed to fall on Rong Qing's face and fell on countless time.

"Sea Lord?" Rong Qing looked puzzled.

Bai Mo clenched his fists and concealed his smile.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. But... if you don't want to owe me a favor, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Hearing this, Rong Qing's expression gradually became solemn.

Bai Mo said softly: "Once you're on a pirate ship, it's not that easy to get off."

This sentence seems to have a hidden meaning.

Was it a wrong decision for them to come to Jinghai Ruins?

Or, this pirate ship actually refers to the Fengshenzhou. Rong Qing shouldn't have come at all.

"Who wants to harm me?"

Rong Qing looked straight into the eyes of Bai Mohaizhu. However, his light-colored eyes were like sea pearls, showing a bit of alienation, and he looked back at her calmly.

"Is it a certain prince? Is it the Taoist? Or is it the person behind the Taoist?"

"Please give me some pointers, Master, to help resolve my doubts."

Rong Qing was anxious, but Lord Bai Mo was not.

"If I told you, how could I let you owe me a favor to fulfill my wish?" Bai Mo smiled and comforted: "Everything will work out when the time comes. With so many people protecting Your Highness, what does Your Highness have to worry about?"

Bai Mo raised his hand to suppress Rong Qing's unspoken words. "Your Highness, don't ask any more. I will bring the little guy Haijiu here in three days. You can go anywhere in Jinghai Ruins for the next three days. If you want to adjust your condition, there is a sea eye in Jinghai Ruins that is an excellent place for training and can be opened to you."

Bai Mo raised his hand and pointed in the distance. The transparent insects that were originally scattered suddenly flew up and gathered into a long golden line, winding all the way to the end of the sight. At the end was the eye of the sea.

Rong Qing withdrew her gaze, but Lord Bai Mo had already left quietly.

The female cultivator in black stood quietly where she was.

……

“Master Bai Mo, I have an impression that he is not someone you can easily deal with.” After watching the “rebroadcast” sent by Shadow Vein’s avatar, Number One Under Heaven also fell into deep thought like Rong Qing.

Rong Qing, who couldn't figure it out, chose to call for help from outside the venue to listen to the opinion of the best in the world.

"Really? She was very polite to me."

"You have something to gain, so of course I'll be polite to you." Number One Under Heaven said directly, "She committed a lot of murders before the beginning of the era. After the beginning of the era, she became more restrained, contrary to her usual behavior. I haven't heard of her killing anyone. But, humph, if the younger Dao Lords think that she has become kind and harmless because of this, they will probably be in big trouble."

Tianxiadiyi firmly believes that even if a lion occasionally eats vegetarian food, it is still a lion. Never forget the other party's nature just because the other party's abnormal behavior lasts for a long time.

"Mermaids are evil by nature, and the royal family among them are even more jealous and insidious. You must be careful and avoid offending them if you can."

"The Sea Lord asked me for the Mermaid Ear, but I repeatedly declined," Rong Qing smiled bitterly, "Isn't this considered an offense?"

"You are wrong. The Mermaid Ears are probably just a bonus."

The number one general in the world slowly spoke out his guess: "For a rare item that can't increase combat power much, no matter how arrogant Bai Mohai Lord is, he wouldn't dare to play tricks like this in front of the two giants of Beitian and Dongtian. There is only one possibility, that is, she reached an agreement with a certain lord to help you. On this basis, she wanted to take the Mermaid Ear from you."

"She specifically sought you out to hint at her future plans, and she considered you in every way. Combined with what she said... the person behind her is about to be revealed."

"Lord Buddha."

"If you can understand her meaning, it would be best for you to go to the Sea Eye retreat that she specially prepared for you for the next three days."

Rong Qing asked back: "If I can't understand...?"

"Then you can't comprehend it." Number One Under Heaven raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Sea Lord Bai Mo say that so many people are here to protect you, what are you afraid of?"

"I can't help but be afraid." Rong Qing murmured in a low voice, still feeling uneasy.

This uneasiness had been buried deep in her heart since she began her practice. It was like a chess piece being moved around at will. Then someone let a little bit of the future slip through her fingers, like a gift.

Everyone else thought that her future was bright, but only she could see the shadows everywhere.

Who else can she trust? Who should she trust?

"What should I do next?"

"Why ask?" Number One Under Heaven said as a matter of course, "Going to the Sea Eye for retreat is something that the Buddha Lord prepared for you after going through so much trouble. You also know who is trying to do you a favor for. No matter what, we'll take advantage of it first. What's more, isn't it what you want when you defeat the Sea Eagle in public in three days to show your strength?"

"Retreat?" Rong Qing shook her head: "No need. This time I want to try to be a complete fool. Master, please stop talking."

I really doubt whether it is because you are too smart that you always fall into their conspiracy traps accurately.
