The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Due to the negligence of the soldiers, Dong'er was forced to transform into a human form and luckily saved his life.

At this time, Dong'er was lying in a makeshift camp for the wounded. She had woken up for some time. Her slightly empty eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, and she looked absent-minded.

She didn't know whether she was lucky or God had mercy on her.

Survived once and twice.

And it was made by humans.

This caused Dong'er, who already felt guilty, torment.

Watching her fellow tribesmen die in front of her own eyes made those who truly cared about her disheartened... She could have just died, but why did God let her endure this kind of suffering in the world?

Was she born to be a chess piece in this world, to be manipulated by others?

A life of hiding like a puppet...

Why can't it end sooner?

To be honest, Dong'er is also afraid of death and is filled with reluctance.

But now, she would rather be the one to have her head twisted off by the mermaid elders than those of her fellow tribesmen who had already realized their mistakes but still could not escape the punishment of the elders.

From time to time, painful moans could be heard from the wounded camp.

Even a strong monk would find it hard to endure the pain of losing an arm or a foot.

What's more, the wounded camp is full of ordinary people affected by the war.

Indeed, being born in darkness, Dong'er did nothing wrong.

But what is wrong with these common people?

Tears welled up in my eyes unconsciously, flowing down my scarred face...

A slight sting.

But it is difficult to hide the sadness buried in my heart.

She forced herself to sit up from the bed, and her bare ankles stepped on the wet soil, which felt so cold.

Dong'er didn't hear the soldiers guarding outside the tent's words of comfort at all.

He left the wounded camp slowly and staggeringly, like a walking corpse.

Along the way, many people showed concern for her and asked if she needed help.

But faced with these, Dong'er did not feel that this was a favor.

Instead, she felt that it was a punishment from God.

Why are you so nice to her?

She's a selfish, ungrateful traitor who doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. Shouldn't we just let her fend for herself like a stray dog?!

"By the way, who is that person? The high priest seems very sad..."

"I guess it's someone like my brother..."

"No way! If that's the case, the High Priestess has a strong background. I knew she was an old acquaintance of the Dragon Emperor, but I didn't expect she also had a connection with the Peach Blossom Fairy..."

Hear other people's conversations.

Dong'er's empty eyes gradually showed some color. She staggered towards the passersby who were still there, grabbed one of them, and said uncontrollably, "What happened to Sister Nianxiang?!"

"Nianxiang? High Priest?"

Seeing Dong'er's miserable state, the man hesitated for a moment, pulled back his arm, and replied, "Compared to others, losing a leg is already pretty good. At least you're still alive... Um, little girl, are you really okay?"

"What!" Dong'er was shocked. "Where is she?"

"There are a lot of people over there, but it's a little difficult to squeeze in, little girl, hey, little girl..."

Ignore the shouts of the people behind you.

Dong'er dragged her tired body and ran straight towards the crowd.

"What's wrong with you? Do you have any manners..."

"Tsk, a wild girl from the countryside..."

"what are you doing?!"

"Brother, I really didn't kiss you on purpose, I just... ugh, got pushed... ugh..."

"Stop! The Dragon Emperor has issued an order, all who enter must remain!"

Several soldiers in battle robes stood in front of Dong'er and warned him sternly.

No matter how Ren Dong'er pushed and shoved, he stood tall and unmoved like a solid wall.

Faced with Dong'er, a little girl covered in bandages who wanted to rush in like a madman, the soldiers of the Kuanglong Guard who were guarding the border were too soft-hearted and did not drive her away immediately.

"what happened?"

"General Sikong, no matter how much I try to persuade her, this person insists on trespassing and insists on going her own way. Please rest assured, General, we will take her away immediately!"

"Hey, hey, why are you making things difficult for a little girl? She's not a... a siren?!"

After seeing that it was Dong'er, Sikong Shaohua couldn't help but widen his eyes, unable to hide his surprise.

Even with Xiaoyao Tower's headmaster taking action, this person is still alive?!

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them changed color instantly.

The soldiers of the Mad Dragon Army heard the news and immediately rushed forward to surround Dong'er. The previous expressions of reluctance were no longer on their faces. They all treated her as a powerful enemy and treated her wholeheartedly.

At this moment, all Sikong Shaohua needs is an order.

With the spear in hand, I plead for you!

"Why are you making such a fuss? Don't you understand the current situation?"

"Old Zhao, you're just in time!"

Sikong Shaohua was about to reveal Dong'er's true identity as a mermaid, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yu, upon seeing Dong'er for the first time, walked up to her without saying a word and supported her.

"Dong'er, you, you..."

Zhao Yu looked Dong'er up and down, and said anxiously, "How did you get into this state?"

In the past ten years, Ji Cang often brought Zhao Yu to Beixuan to visit Hai Nianxiang. Through these visits, Zhao Yu got to know Hai Nianxiang, his younger sister.

Because he arrived late and was busy with work, Zhao Yu's impression of Dong'er was still that of a gentle and lovely little girl next door. Ji Cang even joked that when Dong'er grew up, he would betroth her to Zhao Yu.

"Brother Zhao, what happened to my sister?!"

Dong'er held Zhao Yu's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"The high priest is fine."

Zhao Yu frowned, "But you, why did you come here instead of taking care of your injuries?"

Hearing this, Dong'er's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was finally at ease. However, when she met Zhao Yu's concerned eyes, Dong'er's dry lips twitched slightly, but she didn't know how to reveal her true identity.

Today, Zhao Yu is the leader of the Mad Dragon Generals at a young age, guarding the outer borders and resisting the alien races in the chaos. He naturally has lofty ambitions and talents.

Otherwise, Ji Cang would not have taken the initiative to resign and appointed his sworn brother Zhao Yu to succeed him.

"Lao Zhao, she, she..."

Seeing this, Sikong Shaohua was choked for a moment.

Although the facts are cruel, they are facts, and someone has to clarify the truth.

However, Zhao Yu was like this, and Sikong Shaohua, who was also a good brother with whom he drank and chatted happily, found it very difficult to deal with him.

"Let her come."

Ji Cang's voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers stood in two rows in an orderly manner without any hesitation, making way for them.

At this moment, Dong'er was injured, weak, and her vision was blurred, but she could still see the vague outline from afar. She left Zhao Yu and walked forward tremblingly.

No matter what the outcome is, Dong'er wants Hai Nianxiang to be fine. Even now, when her true identity as a mermaid is exposed, she still wants to take one last look at her sister.

However, Dong'er's sister, although she knew of her arrival, still kept her head down, hugged the man in her arms, and was unwilling to look back at her.
