"Bluepool said that he managed to save the female and brought her back. Had Jean been snatched away by another tribe before?"
"No! This isn't true. I can't imagine the consequences of Jean being snatched away."
Similar comments like these rang out, and the sea suddenly became so noisy that nothing could be heard clearly.
"Quiet!"
Gold called out, and there was instant silence in the sea.
"It's true that Jean has been snatched away before, ten years ago."
After saying this, no commotion ensued. Instead, there was complete silence.
Gold continued, "I hid this news from everyone for the village's survival, only sending out the strong merfolks with mating rights to the land to search for her. Now that Jean is back, our village's danger is gone."
"That's not true!"
A clear voice interrupted Gold's words. All the merfolks' gazes turned toward Bai Qingqing.
