If Brilliant Gold had faced Light Green Umber and the other emperor-class mermaids, she could have handled them even without Dazzling Silver's support.
But now, she was facing Lin Yuan, whose bloodline was above her own, making her helpless.
A thread of hope unconsciously formed in Brilliant Gold's mind. She prayed that Dazzling Silver, who had always felt affection for her, would not reveal what she had done to Lin Yuan. Even if she did reveal her action, she could bend the truth or smooth over the details.
When the same action was recounted in different ways, it would produce different reactions. If Dazzling Silver was willing to paint her in a better light, she could make it seem as though Brilliant Gold wanted to go to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye out of concern for Lin Yuan's safety. As a merman thearch, Lin Yuan would have no reason to fault her for having such intentions.
