There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

"Well... the situation is a bit complicated." Gu Xia was silent for two seconds: "Master, if you ask this, then it's a long story."

Fang Jinxing said unhappily: "Then let's make it short. Besides, your master and I have plenty of time."

Well, you said it yourself.

Gu Xia spoke quickly: "The four of us were imprisoned in a water dungeon by the mermaids, and we are now thinking about how to escape."

It should be said that those merman guards were a bit naive. Throwing them here only suppressed their spiritual power, and the jade slips on several of them were not looted.

It seemed that they felt they were unfamiliar with the place and couldn't find anyone to rescue them.

Fang Jinxing: "..."

Fang Jinxing: "!!!"

Wait! How did it suddenly develop to the point of being locked up in a water dungeon?

He almost bit his tongue, and his first reaction was: "What did you do on someone else's territory to get caught?"

He had been worrying about whether these bastards would encounter any danger along the way. Now it seems that the biggest danger is themselves, right?

Ye Sui'an sighed, obviously not satisfied with his words: "What do you mean we were arrested because of what we did? Master, why don't you ask the mermaids what they did to arrest us? I think we are all innocent."

What he said this time was the truth. After all, they had just arrived and needed help from others, so how could they possibly offend the mermaids.

In the end, the other person didn't even listen to their explanation, and he almost fell to the ground and got smashed.

Thanks to this identity of being a direct descendant, those mermen were a little cautious. If this happened to an ordinary cultivator, Ye Sui'an had no doubt that the other party would have been killed on the spot.

Unlike them, I have the opportunity to experience what it's like in the mermaid's water dungeon.

On the jade slip side, Fang Jinxing's silence was deafening.

Why is his disciple so eccentric? Why does he like to spend every day in jail?

Haven’t they spent enough time in the forbidden area of ​​Taiyi Sect?

After hearing the whole story of why they were imprisoned, Fang Jinxing hadn't spoken yet when Elder Zhong Yi, who came over, hissed: "This is a bit difficult to handle."

Gu Xia humbly asked: "What should I say?"

"The merpeople have a strong sense of territory. If, as you said, someone killed one of their people in their territory in the face of you and Ye Sui'an, and they caught them red-handed, then they will definitely bite you to death."

This is no different from challenging the mermaids' ownership of this sea area, and is equivalent to slapping them in the face.

I didn't expect these unlucky kids to have such bad luck. Elder Zhong Yi lost his temper: "I guess the reason why you are still alive is that you are temporarily imprisoned in the water dungeon. I guess you are afraid of our sect and Jiang Chaoxu is involved in it."

At this point he suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "Xiao Xu, that kid, shouldn't be with you guys, right?"

"No." Gu Xia shook his head honestly: "Fourth Senior Brother's identity seems to be a little sensitive here. Although those mermaids are afraid of him, they don't really obey his orders."

They are still waiting for the fourth brother to come and rescue them, although it sounds unlikely.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinxing immediately understood. It was obvious that the highest leader of the mermaid tribe, the Mermaid King, was not there, otherwise these four little ghosts would not have been thrown into the water prison together.

But it didn't matter that he wasn't there, at least he could comfort himself that at least the five disciples didn't get 'annihilated' this time, right?

Fang Jinxing was not surprised to hear Gu Xia's words. Although they were far away from each other, since he had accepted Jiang Chaoxu in the first place, he naturally had heard about all the mess within the mermaid tribe.

But so what? Since I have joined Taiyi Sect, I am his disciple.

If you don't like the mermaids, then don't stay. If you really don't like it, just go home. What's the big deal?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said with full energy through the jade slip: "Don't worry about them. I will go and talk to them in person. When you go out, discuss how to solve this matter, and then let them go and treat Xiao Xu's eyes."

"When the time comes, there is no need to get too involved with the mermaids. Once you have healed your wounds, you can return to the sect."

No matter what, there was nothing he could do in the water dungeon, so Fang Jinxing had to contact the other party first and try his best to release the person.

As for the fact that Gu Xia and his men killed the other tribesmen, he didn't bring a single word about it.

Are you kidding? How could he not know the character of his own apprentice?

Although they like to make trouble sometimes, they are all righteous disciples with good family background.

I would never do such a thing!

Fang Jinxing was full of confidence and prepared to help his own disciples remotely.

On the other hand, Luo Qi, who hurried back, also heard the news that the four disciples of Taiyi Sect were imprisoned in the water prison. His first reaction was: "How is it possible?"

He personally led people to pick up the people, and although these disciples slowed down their pace along the way because they were careless, he followed them the whole way and naturally knew whether they had time to run to other places to kill those mermaids.

But the elders of the Lan An tribe have always been tough and never bothered to lie.

Since he said that he saw Gu Xia and Ye Sui'an with his own eyes, if there is no evidence to prove it, unless the Mermaid King speaks up, this matter will not be so easy to reveal.

Luo Qi thought about it, turned around and went to find Jiang Chaoxu.

At this moment, Jiang Chaoxu was staring at the pile of things on the table in front of him.

He went to the water dungeon not long ago, but was stopped as soon as he got outside. He was thinking about whether he should try to exercise the privileges of his identity, but the elder of the Lan An tribe became like a worm in his stomach.

Not only did he predict his thoughts in advance, he also rushed over and sent him back to the palace in a 'polite' manner.

During these days when the Mermaid Emperor was in seclusion, many important things had piled up in the clan. It just so happened that Jiang Chaoxu, as his father's only son, should shoulder his responsibilities as a prince now that he was back.

The Lan'an tribe is old and has a lot of experience. Even the Mermaid King is usually courteous to him. What's more, what he said is very reasonable. Jiang Chaoxu had to give up the idea of ​​breaking into the dungeon by force.

In that case, Gu Xia and the others will have no choice but to stay in there for a while longer.

It's much better than fighting to the death with the elders of the Lan'an tribe.

Jiang Chaoxu didn't even glance at the matters piling up like a mountain in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision and planned to inform a few of his fellow disciples in advance.

As soon as the jade slip was taken out, a commotion broke out outside.

A second before the visitor stepped in, Jiang Chaoxu, relying on his hand speed gained from years of alchemy, quickly stuffed the jade slip into the pile of matters in front of him that needed to be dealt with.

Then he pretended to look at one of the items in his hand.
