"I didn't say that the man was a fake, it's just that the Xunsheng I knew was not like he is now." Yu Yao remained calm. As expected, people still need to have confidence and a trump card. When life is guaranteed, you will have a basis for everything you do.

"Oh? Are you so familiar with Master Xunsheng?" Qiu stared at Yuyao with a pair of charming eyes, which were like autumn water, with inquiry and... hostility. She actually called the master by his name, and got this hairpin, which was a rare treasure. She didn't ask for it when she ascended the throne.

Yuyao was not surprised by Qiu's hostility. After all, the mermaids seemed to have no good feelings towards humans, even Xunsheng seemed to be the same. However, Yuyao was a little surprised by Qiu's next words.

"I can't say I'm familiar with her, but I think I can judge people." Yu Yao answered with ease, thinking, could it be that Senior Phoenix sent her here because of Xunsheng? The hairpin Xunsheng gave her was made of phoenix feathers, so she must have some connection with the Phoenix Clan. Could it be that he wanted to use her to help Xunsheng? Otherwise, how could Xunsheng, whose body was so severely invaded by demons, be in the illusion of the Phoenix Clan?

"Don't you want to know why Xun Sheng became like this?"

"Please call me Master Xunsheng." Qiu said, "Don't you know?"

"Take me to see Xunsheng, sir, and maybe then I'll know." Yu Yao said. She would know if this was the real Xunsheng once she met him.

Qiu sat high on the throne, looking at Yuyao standing below, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes were full of scrutiny and inquiry: "Okay, I will take you to see the adults, but if you anger the adults, I can't protect you. Human."

The tone of the last two words was quite strange.

Yu Yao nodded indifferently, and then Qiu came down from the high seat charmingly, with a strange fragrance emanating from her body. This fragrance... Yu Yao looked at Qiu's back with a deep gaze, and then followed her with big strides.

There were many guards patrolling along the way. When they saw Yu Yao following Qiu, they were a little surprised, but it was only for a very short time before they regained their seriousness.

Yu Yao looked at Qiu from behind. Although the mermaids could transform, they had to reach a certain level of cultivation, and not all mermaids liked to transform into human form. However, this king did not seem to think so. She appeared in a bipedal human form from beginning to end.

Soon, Yuyao was brought to a dazzling palace. The dazzling crystals, shells, and jewels almost blinded Yuyao's eyes. How could she not realize that Xunsheng also had this habit...

Yu Yao followed Qiu, passed through layers of guards, walked through corridors, and finally came to a magnificent hall, which was even more magnificent than Qiu's hall. At this moment, Yu Yao really wanted to wear a pair of sunglasses, if she had them.

There are many crystal balls above the hall, which refract light onto various decorations. The whole hall can be said to be as dazzling as the scorching sun.

It took a long time for Yu Yao's eyes to adjust to the light intensity. She saw a person sitting on a huge crystal bed not far away, probably sitting cross-legged in meditation.

"Lord Xunsheng." Qiu's voice was gentle but with a hint of temptation.

"What's the matter?" The voice was indifferent and cold, but Yuyao could still hear a hint of impatience. However, this voice was indeed the voice of Xunsheng in her memory. Yuyao looked up and saw that the person in front of her was indeed Xunsheng.

"This girl claims to be your old friend and wants to see you." After saying that, Qiu moved to the side, revealing Yu Yao behind him.

The person on the spirit stone couch slowly opened his eyes. Yu Yao stared closely at Xunsheng's every move and every subtle expression.

The moment he saw Yuyao, Xunsheng's eyes did flash a little strangely, but he immediately regained his composure: "You, are here."

When Qiu saw Xunsheng's reaction, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Can I stay with the mermaid tribe for a few days?" Yu Yao said while observing Xunsheng's reaction.

"it is good."

Xunsheng was still a little indifferent, but Yuyao keenly sensed that there was no trace of impatience in his voice. He remembered her! However, Yuyao always felt that something was wrong.

"I wonder what the connection is between Lord Xunsheng and this girl? It's rare to see Lord Xunsheng being so tolerant towards humans." Qiu lifted her skirt while speaking.

Yu Yao noticed something, frowned, and looked at Qiu meaningfully.

"I still need to practice." Xunsheng suddenly became a little anxious, and his words were full of the intention to drive him away.

Qiu winked at Yuyao and took her out.

"Young lady is really capable. She can even make Lord Xunsheng treat her so well." Qiu's words were full of temptation.

"It's just a chance encounter." Yu Yao obviously didn't want to have a deep conversation. Qiu naturally noticed it, smiled and said nothing.

Soon, Yu Yao was arranged to stay in a bedroom, which was naturally much more luxurious than You Mo's residence.

Oh, is this to put her under house arrest or to monitor her? Unfortunately, I can't keep an eye on her.

Yu Yao activated the stealth talisman and nimbly dodged the patrolling mermaids. Following the route she remembered, she once again came to Xun Sheng's palace. As she expected, the guards here were much more relaxed than before. Yu Yao showed a smile of "as expected".

Yu Yao arrived at the main hall almost unimpeded, and Xun Sheng was already waiting there.

"You really came." Xunsheng's voice sounded much more intimate at this time, "I didn't expect that we would meet again in this kind of occasion." Xunsheng didn't understand why this little human would see her every time she got into trouble. Although she was small, she was never weak.

"I didn't expect that a powerful mermaid like you would fall into trouble in your own tribe." Yu Yao did not care about his face.

"Can you solve it?" Xunsheng asked without thinking.

Yuyao understood: "Your water purification is useless?"

"The effect is minimal. It can only keep you awake for a short period of time." Xunsheng said.

Yu Yao showed no awe at all. She walked forward and carefully checked Xun Sheng's situation as if she had met a friend.

Xunsheng also spoke to himself: "Last time, I just cleared the evil spirit and forcibly tore open the space to come back, which caused my cultivation to temporarily decline and I was ambushed. I don't know what tricks the other party used, but Posa Leaf can temporarily contain it."

"Oh? Don't you know who did it yet?" Yu Yao asked while investigating.

"There is a suspect." Xunsheng's voice was still indifferent, without the slightest panic. After all, this thing could not affect his life safety, but only affected his emotions.

"If you don't solve this problem as soon as possible, someone will control your mind." Yu Yao said.

"With the other party's level of ability, he can't do it." Xunsheng said this with full confidence.
