I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

These words were followed by a deathly silence.

Liang Wu glared angrily at Yun Qingyi, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Seeing Yun Qingyi's immediately saddened expression and drooping lips after he finished speaking, Liang Wu felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Just as he was about to say something, the merman closest to him pulled out a stick from somewhere and angrily swung it at Liang Wu.

The blow stunned Liang Wu. He turned around and saw the old merman preparing to strike him again, so he reached out to block the blow.

Seeing Liang Wu's outstretched hand, the old merman became even angrier: "You still dare to block me! You still have the nerve to block me! Put your hand down!"

Upon hearing the sound, Liang Wu instinctively lowered his hand, and then immediately received a solid blow to the head.

However, due to the old merman's advanced age and Liang Wu's thick skin, the blow did not cause any real harm to Liang Wu, but only made him more and more confused.

Seeing that Liang Wu did not resist, the old merman did not hold back and struck Liang Wu four or five times with his stick.

Perhaps because the pain in his body was becoming more and more obvious, a sliver of clarity suddenly surged into Ryogo's mind.

He suddenly looked up at Yun Qingyi, his eyes filled with horror and shock: "It was you!? You deliberately instigated me to target you?"

Upon hearing Liang Wu's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Yun Qingyi's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

To guess so quickly, Liang Wu is quite clever.

Liang Wu kept his eyes fixed on Yun Qingyi after he had a guess in his mind. Although the surprise in Yun Qingyi's eyes flashed by, he still caught it.

Sure enough, it was all this woman's doing. Ryogo gritted his teeth in hatred.

It's also his fault for being so eager to catch Liangmeng today, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen for this woman's trick.

There must be something about this woman that amplifies his evil thoughts and greed; otherwise, he wouldn't be only now realizing that his emotions have been manipulated all along.

Liang Wu's face was gloomy, his expression as if he had been humiliated, and his eyes held a hidden killing intent as he looked at Yun Qingyi.

Feeling the surging emotions welling up inside him, he closed his eyes. After a few breaths, when he opened them again, his mind was clear.

Ok?

Yun Qingyi, who was circulating the Returning Heart Technique, was somewhat surprised. How could Liang Wu seem to have completely severed the influence of the Returning Heart Technique in an instant?

Just as Yun Qingyi was filled with doubt, Liang Wu glanced at her indifferently.

He then addressed the merman, whose face had been grim ever since he had spoken those words, saying, "I'm sorry, uncles, grandfathers, and grandmothers. It was my fault. I grew up in the Merman Palace and didn't know that these things had a different meaning for you. That's why I said those things. Please punish me!"

Gee!

Yun Qingyi clicked her tongue twice in her heart, her expression slightly mocking.

Ryogo's words were far too pale.

Even if he was completely unaffected by the Returning Heart Technique and could think clearly, he still underestimated the old merman's longing and respect for another faction of mermen.

After all, they were not only the pioneers of the merfolk, but also their family members who had once been with them.

Long ago, the merfolk race consisted of only one faction. However, due to certain reasons, half of the merfolk with relatively good combat abilities were separated to explore something.

As for what it was, Yun Qingyi didn't know much about it, because when Ci Gui mentioned this point, he did some calculations with his fingers and then changed the subject.

Although she still doesn't know what caused the merfolk to split into two factions, what she knows now is enough for her to use within the merfolk community.
