He neither admitted nor denied it.

The old man tremblingly invited them into the innermost part.

No one else knew why the old man knelt down, and they could only look at Zhou Xing with confusion and curiosity.

But at the same time, she felt excited because of his casual glance.

He was wearing a black robe and was very conspicuous standing in the crowd. His exquisite and perfect face was so beautiful that it didn't look like a real person. His pair of dark eyes seemed to be able to draw people into the abyss. The aura he exuded was like ice and snow on a snowy mountain, making people dare not approach him.

Passing through the narrow corridor, they arrived at the garden behind the attic.

Xie Fei discovered that the space behind was much more spacious than that in the front, and the buildings in the front seemed to be deliberately covering up the buildings here.

After passing through the garden, an ancient gate comes into view. It is somewhat out of place with the buildings outside, as if it was moved from somewhere else.

The old man pushed open the door and stood aside, waiting for Zhou Xing to go in.

When Xie Fei and the others were about to follow her in, they were stopped by her.

She said: "Only mermaids can enter here."

Xie Fei glanced at Chen Xuan and the others, then moved closer and whispered something to them.

Chen Xuan nodded and left with Jiang Zhe and the others.

Xie Fei asked them to take advantage of this time to get some information from other people.

As for Zhou Xing...

Before Xie Fei could say anything, Zhou Xing took his hand and their hands were tightly intertwined.

Zhou Xing just glanced at the old man indifferently, then she quickly took a step back and let them in.

Xie Fei didn't care and looked around the interior of the house with great curiosity. The decorations inside were even more luxurious than he had imagined. The whole room was decorated with gems and shells, and in the front was a broken statue.

The mermaid statue is about two meters tall, with long, slightly curly hair and a sapphire crown on its head. Its face cannot be seen clearly, but there are a pair of light purple gems embedded in its eye sockets as eyeballs.

The old man first knelt respectfully in front of the statue, then stood up and saluted Zhou Xing, saying: "I am the last high priest of the mermaids. I stayed on this mermaid island to wait for the arrival of the new king."

Xie Fei asked curiously: "Then how do you know who the new king is?"

"The power of a pure-blooded mermaid is unique." The high priest said, "I just felt the breath of a pure-blooded mermaid, so I dared to confirm your identity."

Xie Fei thought about it and realized that what she said was actually right.

Zhou Xing was not only a pure-blooded mermaid in the past, but also the king of Ionia. Although he defected in the end and was stripped of his identity as the mermaid king, it did not affect his former identity.

"Why did you bring him here?" Xie Fei asked directly.

The high priest was skeptical about his identity and looked at Zhou Xing hesitantly, as if wanting to know his attitude.

Zhou Xing was very dissatisfied with her probing and said coldly: "This is my partner."

"But this person is a human?"

The reason why she was so puzzled was because the mermaids had never intermarried with other races.

A sly look flashed in Xie Fei's eyes, his expression became lonely, and his tone became weak: "I used to be a merman, but because of an accident, I lost my merman elixir. In order to survive, I had no choice but to become a human."

He said it with such deep feeling that the high priest had no doubt at all. He showed an indignant look and said sternly: "It must be Damon's group who did it!"

"Damon?" A gleam of light flashed in Xie Fei's eyes. It seems that this act is still useful.

The high priest did not give a direct explanation, but instead asked where they came to the Mermaid Island from.

Xie Fei had already thought of the words, and he spoke nonsense without blushing or beating his heart: "After I lost the mermaid elixir, I came to the human world. Because I missed my hometown too much, I followed a ship out to sea. Unexpectedly, I encountered a storm at sea. I accidentally entered this sea area and met Fast."

Hearing Xie Fei calling out this long-lost name again, Zhou Xing's eyes flickered slightly and he held his hand a little tighter.

It wasn't good for him to remain silent all the time, so Xie Fei squeezed his palm and gave him the right to interpret the rest.

Zhou Xing understood what he meant and nodded slightly, saying, "Well, I have also been wandering in this sea area. I fell asleep for a while a few years ago, and when I woke up, I met... Los."

He paused, then finally called out the name.

After calling out this name, he felt a little complicated, but when he looked at Xie Fei, his mood was instantly dispelled by the smile on his face.

"On the Mermaid Island ruled by Damon, newborns will have their mermaid bones and pearls removed as soon as they are born. Only a few lucky ones can retain some mermaid features. You should have seen John's ears. He is one of them."

The person who was excluded by others became a lucky person in the mouth of this high priest.

But Xie Fei was not only curious about this, he also wanted to know what the high priest was going to do.

When he was distracted, someone pinched his ear. Xie Fei immediately went to look at Zhou Xing and found that he had used the Peeping Technique and the entire hall had changed.

Red blood flowed from the statue, dyeing the entire floor of the hall red. Blood-red causal lines were entangled on the statue, and tears of blood flowed from the light purple eyes.

The whole world was blood red and filled with the smell of death.

Xie Fei suddenly realized, could it be that the blood-red sky of the entire island was caused by this statue?

"Who is this statue?" Xie Fei was brave enough to ask directly.

A trace of sadness flashed across the high priest's face. He saluted respectfully towards the statue and said, "This is our greatest mermaid king. He once led the mermaid tribe to the pinnacle. Unfortunately, when the war of gods came, he also died in that battle."

After that, she turned to Zhou Xing and said, "I implore you to become the new king of the mermaids, overthrow Damon's rule, restore the glory of the mermaids, and save all the mermaids."

“Why am I doing this?”

Not surprisingly, Zhou Xing bluntly refused.

He was not interested in these. He hated these inexplicable fights when he was still Fast. Now, if he was asked to sit in this position again to play a game, no one would be willing to do that.

The man's face showed undisguised annoyance.

Xie Fei squeezed his hand, smiled kindly at the high priest and said, "He may not be mentally prepared yet. Why don't we give him some time to think about it."

"Okay." The high priest was not in a hurry. He had been waiting for so many years anyway, so one or two days wouldn't make a difference.

She led them to the prepared rest room.

Although this house looks small, it has a large space inside and has all the necessary facilities.

Because of their status, Chen Xuan and his friends lived in the building outside. They could come and go freely and could gather information better.

In comparison, although Xie Fei and his family lived well, they were also heavily guarded.

It's called protection.

But he felt it was not that simple.
