City Lord Mansion
“Young Master, you’re finally back!” Seeing Qi Shaorong come back, Qi Heng can’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Qi Shaorong crossed his arms and asked, “Did I leave for a long time?”
During the days at the bottom of the sea, he couldn’t tell the difference between day and night. After reuniting with You Da, they searched for a way out in the Land of the Lost God for a long time before they came out.
“Almost 2 months.”
Qi Shaorong nodded, and said a little surprised, “It’s been that long, ah! During the period when I was gone, did something happen?”
Qi Heng hesitated for a moment, and said,“There weren’t any major things.”
“What about minor things?” Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Heng’s strange expression and asked.
Qi Heng thought for a while and said, “Minor things, there is indeed a minor thing. News of you and Young Master Zhuang Hao leaving was impossible to hide. Rumors came out of nowhere that you and Young Master Zhuang were unfortunately killed and died young!”
Qi Shaorong spits out all the tea in mouth,“The outside is rumoring I died?”
Qi Heng nodded and answered, “About it.”
Qi Shaorong’s face twisted, and he questioned, “You think that this is not major?”
Qi Heng shrugged and said, “Because there are too many city lords that have encountered misfortune, so most didn’t have much of a reaction toward news of your ‘death’. Everyone seems to be— used to it. It’s just that some wanted to take advantage of the fire to steal, so they came to the City Lord’s Mansion to steal things!”
Qi Shaorong: “……” Those lowly things.
“There was no loss to the City Lord’s Mansion, right?” Qi Shaorong asked.
“Nope. Hei Sha chased away anyone that came.”
“There’s finally some use to this guy.”
Before the mermaid princess brought people to trouble Bi Liuyun, but Hei Sha didn’t make a move. Although Qi Shaorong understood Hei Sha’s stance, he still somewhat minds.
“The Imperial Capital will send people over.” Qi Heng said.
Qi Shaorong tilted his head and looked at Qi Heng, and asked, “The emperor will send someone over? Why? Did the emperor also hear the news of my death?”
Qi Heng nodded, “I think he should have heard some.”
“The emperor, that old man, is he sending someone here to see if I’m dead?” Qi Shaorong asked.
Qi Shaorong saw that Qi Heng didn’t speak, which meant he had acquiesced.
Qi Shaorong shook his head and said: “If the old guy believed that I’m dead, I’m afraid he’s going to be disappointed!”

Qi Heng: “……”

Qi Shaorong stroked his chin and asked, “Who will be the person sent over from the Imperial Capital?”
“It is said that a prince is going to be sent, but which prince it is, I can’t say for sure.” Qi Heng said.
Qi Shaorong crossed his arms and said: “In order to monitor me, he actually sent a prince over? His Majesty really thinks highly of me!”
Qi Heng: “……”
Imperial Capital
Chen Manwu helped take off Tang Tianfeng’s coat, and asked, “Have the envoy for the Jade Sea Plains been chosen yet?”
Tang Tianfeng shook his head, and said: “Not yet. Fourth Brother really wants to go, but Father Emperor doesn’t seem to approve of it.”
Chen Manwu frowned, “The news from the Jade Sea Plains said that Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao are missing, maybe they are dead.”
“It’s not that easy. I don’t know if Qi Shaorong is dead or not, but Zhuang Hao is definitely not dead. If something happens to Zhuang Hao, the Zhuang family will be the first to know. If there is no movement from the Zhuang family, then you know that Zhuang Hao is definitely alive and well.” Tang Tianfeng said.
Chen Manwu nodded, “You’re right.”
“Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao are gone, could it be they went to find mithril sea sand?” Chen Manwu asked in confusion.
“It would be great if it was, but I don’t think Qi Shaorong is such a self-conscious person. The sky is high in the Jade Sea Plains and the emperor is far away. Father Emperor’s words, Qi Shaorong may take it seriously, but I am afraid that they are already following the Sea Tribes to find opportunities. ” Tang Tianfeng said.
Chen Manwu squinted her eyes and said: “If the power in Qi Shaorong’s hands merges with the Zhuang family, then it will become…” terrifying for others.
“I heard that Qi Shaorong’s subordinate, Bi Liuyun, has a close relationship with the young master of Tianlong Firm.” Tang Tianfeng said.
Chen Manwu’s eyes widened, and said: “Tianlong Firm. I’ve heard of this firm, it is said that the origin is very mysterious, and the background behind it is huge!”
“Has Chen Yuan sent any news?” Tang Tianfeng asked。
Chen Manwu sighed, and said: “This younger brother of mine isn’t very close with me. Even if he knows something, he won’t tell me.”
Tang Tianfeng took a deep breath and said, “Nevermind.”
Yi Fan’s mansion
Mu Tingxuan looked at the thoughtful Yi Fan and asked, “A-Fan, what are you thinking?”
Yi Fan shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just a little worried about Young Master!”
“Young Master seems to be getting better and better.” Mu Tingxuan leaned on a chair beside him and said with a smile.
“That’s right!” It’s because the young master is getting better and better, so the emperor is getting more and more worried, “The person who will go to the Jade Sea Plains this time should be the second prince.”
Mu Tingxuan nodded, “I guess it’s him too.” The Fourth Prince recommended himself, the emperor didn’t agree till the end, presumably the emperor is wary of the Fourth Prince.
“I heard from Bi Liuyun that Young Master and Zhuang Hao are getting along well.” Mu Tingxuan said with a smile.
“Zhuang Hao’s strength seems to be improving very fast. In Bi Liuyun’s secret letter, it is mentioned that Zhuang Hao should be at level nine.” Yi Fan said.
Mu Tingxuan smiled, and said: “Young Master Zhuang really deserves to be Young Master Zhuang!”
Yi Fan rubbed his fingers, and thought to himself: The emperor has probably heard some rumors about Zhuang Hao’s strength improvement, but probably doesn’t know Zhuang Hao’s exact strength very well.
“I read from Young Master’s letter that Liuyun is a golden mermaid who can inherit the mermaid throne. Young Master also said that the elders of the Mermaid Clan approached Liuyun, saying that he is the future of the Mermaid Clan, and wants him to be the leader of the clan. Liuyun is not very willing to revitalize the clan, but just wants to eat and wait for death.” Mu Tingxuan said, feeling a little funny.
“With Liuyun’s temperament, he likes to sleep the most. He has never been interested in dominating things,” Yi Fan said.
Mu Tingxuan nodded, “Exactly!”
Qi Family
“Father, according to the news fromThird Brother, Fourth Brother is still alive.” Qi Shaokang said.
Qi Yao nodded, “As expected, I knew that nothing would happen to him.”
Qi Yao’s face was sullen, when the news of Qi Shaorong’s untimely death came, Qi Yao didn’t believe it at all. Qi Shaorong gave Qi Yao a feeling that his fate was very hard and that no accident would happen that easily!
“Did Shaofu say in the letter how well he’s doing at Qi Shaorong’s place?” Qi Yao asked.
Qi Shaokang frowned, and said: “Shaofu didn’t say anything, but a few people who went with Shaofu said that Shaofu was assigned to work under Qi Heng.”
Qi Yao slapped the table with some dissatisfaction, “What on earth is your Fourth Brother thinking? Shaofu is his own brother. Could it be that Shaofu is not as good as a servant? He actually asked Shaofu to help Qi Heng! ”
“No matter what, it’s always a good thing that Shaorong didn’t kick them back.” Qi Shaokang was quite open about it.
So what about blood-related brothers, Yi Fan messed with his two brothers that they couldn’t live or die.
Qi Yao snorted, “Whatever.”
Qi Yao clenched his fists. Originally, Qi Yao planned to send more people to Qi Shaorong’s place, if Qi Shaofu was doing well, but now Qi Shaofu is just a helper, so sending more people is meaningless.
“Father, is his majesty planning to send a prince to Jade Sea Plains?” Qi Shaokang asked.
“Yes, I heard that someone saw that Zhuang Hao was forcing back a dozen mermaid masters with a single sword in the City Lord’s Mansion. It is said that Zhuang Hao’s strength has already reached level nine.” Qi Yao said.
Qi Shaokang widened his eyes and asked, “Is Zhuang Hao already level nine?”
Qi Yao rolled his eyes, and said: “Should the person who spread the news be exaggerating? It’s no big deal to defeat a few bottom welled mermaids, but they insist on saying he has already reached level nine. That damn boy Zhuang Hao, is only this big!”
Qi Shaokang breathed a sigh of relief and said, “So it’s like that!”
Qi Shaokang is very clear that he is not as good as Zhuang Hao, but he always feels that the gap is not very big, but if Zhuang Hao is already at level nine, it would be too scary.
“I reckon His Majesty has also heard this rumor, so he sent a prince to the Jade Sea Plains to find out!” Qi Yao said.
Qi Shaokang said thoughtfully: “So that’s the case!”
Qi Yao rolled his eyes, and said sarcastically, “That idiot messenger, why didn’t he just pass on that Zhuang Hao is already a saint?”
Qi Shaokang: “……”
Sea Tribes’ Mermaid Palace
“Mother Empress.” Aili’er frowned, her face very ugly.
Aili’er has been looking for someone to monitor the movement of the City Lord’s Mansion. Not long after Bi Liuyun left, Aili’er found out. Aili’er found out that Bi Liuyun followed You Da to the Land of the Lost Gods. After knowing the news, Aili’er had been looking forward to Bi Liuyun’s death in the Land of the Lost Gods.
Not long after Aili’er got the news that Bi Liuyun had gone to the Land of the Lost Gods, she accidentally learned that Hai Ling was also one of the people who went to the forbidden area this time. Aili’er was so angry that she almost went crazy.
Irina looked at Aili’er and said, “Bi Liuyun came out from the Land of the Lost Gods, and he also brought out the Neptune Trident.”
“How is that possible?” Aili’er pursed her lips.
“The news can’t be wrong!” Irina narrowed her eyes.
The news came from Mei Li of the Sea Snake Clan. The relationship between the Sea Snake Clan and the Mermaid Clan has not been very good.
In the past few hundred years, the prestige of the Sea Snake Clan has grown day by day, but the Mermaid Clan has been fading away. The Sea Snake Clan is very dissatisfied with the Mermaid Clan occupying the position as the Sea Tribes’ royal clan, and has long wanted to replace them.
After Mei Li came out from the Land of the Lost Gods, she told everyone that the Neptune Trident of the Mermaid Clan was claimed by a guy who considered himself a lowly human. That guy was lazy by nature, and all hope of the Mermaid Clan was placed on that type of person, the Mermaid Clan must be really hopeless now.
Mei Li has a bad temper, but she never tells lies.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener does. Knowing the news, several elders in the clan were so excited that they couldn’t contain themselves.

I’ve been wondering for a long time… was the name of AiLiEr supposed to sound like Ariel? (This realization came from the little mermaid trailer)
