Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside, and the word "Fu Li" could be heard faintly. You Mo felt uneasy and hurried outside. Yu Yao followed behind, trying not to expose her figure.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Fumo pulled a mermaid who was passing by the door hurriedly.

"Ah... this..." Seeing the other party hesitating, You Mo's uneasiness gradually grew: "Did Fuli get into trouble?"

"Come on, tell me, is that true?" You Mo shouted loudly, his handsome face full of anxiety, with tears flashing in his eyes.

"Fu Li... Fu Li was sentenced to death by the king." The other party was about to leave after saying this. You Mo grabbed him and said, "Tell me clearly, what happened? Wasn't he on patrol?"

The other party looked at You Mo, then looked around, and whispered, "That person got very angry and said that he wanted to kill Fu Li on the spot because he didn't deliver the clean water in time. Fortunately, the king arrived in time, but he couldn't calm that person's anger, so he sentenced Fu Li to death. However, this is just a delaying tactic. If that person's anger subsides, maybe... Well, I can't say any more. Now that the position has been adjusted, I must get to the post as soon as possible, otherwise I will be the one to suffer."

After the other party finished speaking, he broke free from You Mo's hand and walked away quickly, with his fish tail swinging very quickly.

You Mo turned back into the house, lay on the chair and sobbed, her tears turning into pearls that kept falling.

"Is your powerful man called Xunsheng?" Yu Yao walked to You Mo and asked softly.

"How do you know? Who are you?" You Mo raised his head and looked at Yu Yao warily, without able to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I have some connections with Xunsheng, Fuli has helped me, maybe I can help a little." Yuyao thought that Fuli, the mermaid, was a kind-hearted man who would not do anything bad. If it was just because the clean water was not delivered in time, maybe she could save his life. Anyway, she could give it a try. But Xunsheng should not be the kind of person who gets angry because of such a thing, oh no, it's the fish.

"You...you are a human, how could you have a connection with Lord Xunsheng? Besides, Lord Xunsheng has been in seclusion for a long time. I advise you not to play tricks. This is the territory of our mermaid tribe." You Mo said while looking at Yu Yao.

Yu Yao was helpless. The mermaids were really unfriendly to humans. No wonder the Renzhu tribe had such an attitude towards humans. But why did the mermaids make such an exception for the Tuoba family? But this was not the time to think about these things.

"This is a token given to me by your Lord Xunsheng. But I'm not sure if you recognize it. Your king should recognize it." Yu Yao said helplessly as she took out the hairpin.

"This... this is Lord Xunsheng's thing. Do you really know Lord Xunsheng?" The vigilance on You Mo's face disappeared completely, replaced by a look of hope.

"But first you have to figure out what's going on. I can't just have a half-understanding." Yu Yao said.

"Yes, yes, I'll go find out right away." After saying that, You Mo hurried out.

After a while, You Mo came back.

"The story begins when Master Xunsheng came back. Since Master Xunsheng came back, his personality has changed drastically. Originally, he was indifferent and distant, but he was definitely not a bloodthirsty person. But now he has a particularly bad temper. Once someone does something that doesn't suit his wishes, he will punish them severely at the least, or kill them on the spot at the worst."

Hearing this, Yu Yao frowned. In her impression, Xun Sheng was indeed the former, but why was there such a big difference now?

"Nowadays, Lord Xunsheng needs to bathe with clean water regularly every day, and he is very strict about the time. Fuli didn't know what happened, and he was actually a few minutes late. But it was during these few minutes that Lord Xunsheng became furious and beat Fuli severely. If the king had not arrived in time, Fuli would probably have died on the spot. But even so, the king could not persuade the angry Lord Xunsheng, and finally had to sentence Fuli to death, and the execution will be carried out three days later." When You Mo said this, his eyes turned red again and his eyes were moist.

"What is this purified water?" Yu Yao asked. She was not sure. The Xunsheng mentioned by You Mo seemed to be two different people from the one she remembered.

"This clean water is actually the juice extracted from the Posa leaves. We don't know why Lord Xunsheng uses this juice to bathe. By the way, Lord Xunsheng seems to add something into it and then named it clean water." You Mo was also puzzled.

Posuo leaves... Why did he use Posuo leaves? Yu Yao frowned even deeper.

"Yuyao...Yuyao." You Mo's voice brought Yuyao back to her senses.

"Hmm? By the way, Xunsheng has become so strange, your king didn't say anything?" Yu Yao's eyes were unclear.

"Lord Xunsheng has a very high status in the mermaid tribe. In a sense, it is even higher than the king, so..." You Mo took a deep breath.

So that's how it is. "Then don't the other older seniors in your clan care either?" Yu Yao asked.

"Of course there are elders with high status in the clan, but they usually live in seclusion. Unless it is a major event in the clan, it is not good to disturb them." You Mo answered almost every question.

Yu Yao was also unsure at this time, so she said, "Take me to see your king first."

With You Mo's arrangement, Yu Yao successfully met the king of the mermaid tribe, but she did not expect that the king of the mermaid tribe was actually a female.

Yu Yao was stunned by the mermaid king at first sight, which made her suddenly understand why the ancient kings would spend huge sums of money to win the smile of a beauty and why they would set fire to the beacon tower to trick the princes.

The king of the mermaid tribe wore a noble and shining crown, and sat high on a throne inlaid with various unnamed crystal stones, surrounded by various sparkling decorations.

Seeing Yuyao, the mermaid king, Qiu, was also looking at Yuyao.

"Are you Tuoba Yuyao?" Qiu's voice was very pleasant, different from You Mo's crisp and gentle voice, but instead it was charming, just like her appearance, enchanting and alluring, attractive enough.

Yu Yao was speechless, but after thinking for a while, she explained: "I am Yu Yao, the leader of the Yu Clan of the East Continent. Although I am not from the Tuoba Clan, I have a deep connection with the Tuoba Clan."

"Oh~" Qiu's tone rose, and suddenly the volume increased: "How dare the Tuoba family head take advantage of the privileges given to them by our mermaid tribe to bring strangers into our tribe. How abominable!"

Yu Yao frowned and pretended to be nonchalant as she fiddled with the hairpin on her hair.

Qiu narrowed his eyes, then returned to his normal tone: "You Mo said, do you know Lord Xunsheng?"

Yu Yao looked at Qiu with a stern gaze and said calmly, "That's right. The premise is that the other party is really Master Xunsheng."

"Oh, that's ridiculous! As the king of the mermaids, could I have mistaken Lord Xunsheng?" Qiu was not angry this time. Instead, he smiled. However, the smile did not reach his eyes.
