I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

If it was someone else, or the original owner in the original plot, they might not have noticed it and would have directly taken over the conversation to resolve the deadlock for Lan Jingyao.

Unfortunately, Lan Jingyao met Yu Pei.

As for Yu Pei, he is in Lan Xun's group.

Although Lan Xun himself may not know it.

But it is true.

Therefore, Yu Pei looked at Lan Jingyao and said seriously: "I'm so sorry, my whereabouts need to be kept secret."

After saying that, he glanced at Lan Xun again and said, "Besides, Mr. Lan Xun probably has something important to tell you. Avoiding it won't solve the problem."

After Yu Pei finished speaking, he looked at Lan Xun, nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Lan Xun was a little surprised.

This was not the first time he came to ask Lan Jingyao about the Holy Pearl.

But the first two times, Lan Jingyao escaped by using other people's help.

This time, Lan Xun thought he would let Lan Jingyao escape for a short while again.

As a result, this human being did not play by the rules this time.

After Yu Pei walked away for a distance, Lan Xun withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Lan Jingyao.

"No one will help you this time." Lan Xun said with a wry smile.

"I admit that I took the holy pearl accidentally, but it is really not with me now. I suspect it was taken away by humans." Lan Jingyao turned around and met Lan Xun's gaze, and said with a face full of bitterness and hatred.

"No, it's on you." Lan Xun said with certainty.

"But you saw it just now. I searched my whole body!" Lan Jingyao was so sad that she wanted to cry but had no tears.

At the same time, there is some resentment towards Yu Pei.

Why should he be left alone to face Lan Xun?

God knows why Lan Xun is so strong even though he is also a mermaid.

He really couldn't beat him, and as for his explanation, Lan Xun simply didn't listen and was terribly stubborn.

Lan Jingyao thought about it and felt extremely aggrieved.

Lan Xun took in his aggrieved expression and frowned in confusion.

If you take something you shouldn't take, you have to return it. How can Lan Jingyao have the nerve to feel wronged when he refuses to return it even though it's clearly on him?

"I'll give you three days. After three days, you must give me the holy pearl." Lan Xun was too lazy to look at Lan Jingyao's aggrieved face.

After saying this, he turned around and dived into the artificial sea, disappearing in two or three seconds.

Lan Jingyao was quite surprised to see this, and an aggrieved expression hung on his face, not sure how to put it away.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the front.

Lan Jingyao turned his head and looked over.

When he saw the person coming, Lan Jingyao's face twitched slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to keep his aggrieved expression.

"What happened?" When the man came closer, he noticed the grievance on Lan Jingyao's face at a glance.

"Nothing, why is General Bian here?" Lan Jingyao then restrained the aggrieved expression on his face, but his tone was still a little unhappy.

The general's surname is Bian and his given name is Cheng, who is the partner chosen by Lan Jingyao in the end of the story.

Seeing that Lan Jingyao didn't say anything, he glanced at the sea and said, "It was your fellow tribesman who bullied you, right?"

“No!” Lan Jingyao hurriedly shook his head: “I accidentally took his things when I came out. He just came to ask for things.”

"Is that so?" Bian Cheng was skeptical.

"Yeah." Lan Jingyao said, lowering his head again: "It's just that I don't know where the things fell, and now he asked me to return them to him within three days..."

Lan Jingyao paused at the right time, his expression very depressed.

Bian Cheng immediately began to treat the woman with sympathy.

"Isn't it just taking something from him? He is forcing us too hard. If we really can't find it, tell him that we can exchange it for something of equal value as compensation." With just a few words, Bian Cheng tied Lan Jingyao and him together.

However, after hearing what Bian Cheng said, Lan Jingyao shook her head bitterly.

That thing, I'm afraid it's not so easy to compensate for it.

Moreover, Lan Jingyao was also afraid that after he told them, the Federation would also want the mermaids' sacred beads.

He still understood the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.

The reason why he told Bian Cheng about this matter so ambiguously was that he actually wanted to use the Federation to stop Lan Xun from forcing him.

Of course, it would be even better if Lan Xun would not ask him for the holy pearl.

However, this possibility is very small.

Hey! He should quickly find the holy bead and return it to Lan Xun, and send this big Buddha away.

However, when it comes to finding the holy pearl, he doesn't know where to start.

He only remembered that the holy bead was still there when he was attacked by marine creatures at sea.

After waking up in the treatment room of the aquarium, the holy pearl was gone.

He later found the aquarium staff and the doctors treated him very well, so he asked them if they had found anything on him.

And the results obtained were all negative.

Lan Jingyao is now not sure whether the staff of the aquarium have deceived him.

But if this is true, then the holy bead could have been lost much earlier.

He also heard about how he was rescued to shore.

It was first discovered by a fisherman and then salvaged by the local guard team.

In other words, the holy beads might have been picked up by fishermen and guards.

The staff at the aquarium had promised to ask for him, but no results have been received yet.

Lan Jingyao still hoped that it was picked up by the guards or fishermen.

This way, the chances of getting it back are greater.

If they hadn't picked it up, and the aquarium staff were sure that they hadn't lied to him, then the pearl must have fallen into the sea.

Searching for a pearl in the ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As for Lan Xun's words, which he had said more than once that the bead was on him, Lan Jingyao naturally chose to ignore them.

He just thought that Lan Xun wanted him to return the pearl, so he said with certainty that the pearl was with him.

He had never considered that when Lan Xun said the bead was on him, he was really sure that the bead was on him.

……

When Yu Pei was walking back, he met Bian Cheng.

The two nodded to each other as a greeting.

When they passed each other, Yu Pei saw a hint of hostility in Bian Cheng's eyes.

Shaking his head helplessly in his heart, Yu Pei didn't say anything.

Lan Jingyao's suitors always feel that Lan Jingyao is very popular.

I think everyone wants to compete.

Yu Pei was speechless about this.

There are now two deep-sea mermaids in the Federal Oceanarium.

No matter which aspect it is, Lan Xun should be better, right?

If he wanted to chase someone, he would chase Lan Xun. Lan Jingyao seemed easier to control and not challenging at all.

Yu Pei walked a few more steps and met Chen Yue, who was dragging a kayak towards him.

"Doctor, why are you here? I can move the boat by myself." Chen Yue said, patting his chest.

Yu Pei was silent for a moment, not knowing how to tell the child that there was no need to move the boat.
