An hour later, the sedan chair of the Imperial Master's Mansion arrived at Penglai Pavilion.

Under Yue Ji's operation, the one who was chosen this time was a male merman.

Yue Ji sent him out.

Mr. Gui personally led people to guard the door. After the mistake the day before, no one must be intercepted again tonight.

Yesterday, Ah Liu was taken away. If Mr. Gui hadn't personally come forward to explain to the Imperial Master's Mansion, and there were night watchmen behind Penglai Pavilion, I'm afraid Penglai Pavilion would not exist today.

The merman who was brought out was trembling with fear and pale. In the eyes of fear and pity of his fellow tribesmen, and the teasing and disgust of others, he walked carefully to the sedan chair.

The night in the ghost market was dim. The merman's red hair was very gorgeous, which made his face look even more bloodless.

He looked back at Yueji standing behind Master Gui, who nodded to him imperceptibly. He then turned around and continued to walk towards the sedan chair that looked like an evil ghost.

After the merman got on the sedan chair and the people from the Imperial Master's Mansion set off, Master Gui said expressionlessly: "Yueji, do you know that you are the one who should go today?"

Hearing this, the blood on Yueji's face faded instantly, and her pearly teeth gently bit the flesh in her cheek.

"Yueji, thank you for your favor, Master." She knelt down without hesitation, crawled at Master Gui's feet, her forehead pressed against the ground, and was extremely terrified.

No matter who looked at her, she was the most loyal dog around Master Gui.

Master Ghost didn't even look at her, just watching the sedan chair in the Imperial Master's Mansion going farther and farther away, and said faintly: "You have been in Anle City for seven hundred years, and it has been seven hundred years since you came to my Penglai Pavilion."

"I remember the first time we met seven hundred years ago, you were with A Liu."

"During these seven hundred years, I know you don't care about anything, only A Liu, right?"

Yue Ji said without even thinking: "Master, you are joking. Yue Ji only has Master in her heart. If it weren't for you, both me and A Liu would have been dead by now."

Hearing this, Master Ghost lowered his eyes and glanced at her, his tone still indifferent: "Okay, you and I have been together for seven hundred years, I know what you think in your heart."

"Someone came to the Imperial Master's Mansion yesterday, and I pushed A Liu out. You should blame me, right?"

"Yue Ji dare not." Yue Ji crawled even lower.

Master Gui ignored her response and said to himself: "But you should also know that I have given Ah Liu so many opportunities in these seven hundred years, but she didn't cherish them. If I had continued to protect her yesterday, how could I take care of the other mermaids in Penglai Pavilion?"

"Well, now Ah Liu has a good home, you should be relieved." Master Gui's tone was very flat, and no emotion could be heard.

But Ah Liu always crawled on the ground and didn't dare to say a word.

"Since those two people are willing to come forward to save your sister, it means they are not bad people. It's better than falling into the hands of the National Master's Mansion..."

Hearing this, Yue Ji's eyes suddenly condensed.

She suddenly thought of what Qin Feng said to her before: What exactly did the National Master's Mansion want the mermaids to do.

In these seven hundred years, if there is anyone that Yue Ji hates the most, it must be the National Master's Mansion.

Because for the past seven hundred years, the Imperial Master's Mansion has come to Penglai Pavilion every month to buy a mermaid, regardless of gender.

But the mermaids bought every month have never survived.

They are all dead.

Yue Ji is now just a slave, but she was once the princess of the mermaid tribe. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have been the king of the mermaid tribe.

Those dead mermaids are her people and her companions.

If it was just for fun, how could they buy one every month, and only one.

How did those mermaids die?

In the past seven hundred years, she tried her best to investigate the truth of the mermaids' deaths, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any news.

The Imperial Master's Mansion attendants who were sent to pick up people didn't know at all, and people outside only knew that the Imperial Master's Mansion liked to buy mermaids for fun.

Even in Penglai Pavilion, no one knew what the Imperial Master's Mansion did with the mermaids they bought back.

If we were to ask who in Penglai Pavilion was most likely to know about the Imperial Master's Mansion, it would only be the ghost master in front of us.

Yue Ji's hands on the ground grasped the ground tightly, and after a long while she asked: "Master, can you tell me what they brought the mermaids to the Imperial Master's Mansion for?"

——Swoosh!

In an instant, Yue Ji felt a force coming towards her, directly lifting her whole body out, hitting the pillar and falling down, and blood spurted out of her mouth instantly.

Others didn't know what happened, and they all looked at this side in surprise.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, why is the master so angry?"

"This Miss Yue Ji...Isn't she a popular figure around Master Gui? Why did she get beaten up too? "

"Tsk, she's just a mermaid, what's the point of being popular or not? Master Gui is so powerful that he can kill her, let alone beat her up."

"That's true..."

Master Gui ignored what others were saying, walked up to Yue Ji, squatted down and grabbed her chin: "Yue Ji, since when have you been so ignorant of life and death?"

"You've been with me for so long, don't you know what to ask and what not to ask?"

"Or do you think that now that A Liu is not around, you have no soft spots and are not afraid of anything? Including death? "

At this moment, A Liu felt that her internal organs were aching, her body seemed to be split open, and blood was pouring out of her seven orifices.

She knew in her heart that it was not because she asked about the National Master's Mansion that made Master Gui angry, but because she asked so, it was beyond Master Gui's control.

But Master Gui was right. Now that A Liu had found a good home, she had no other worries in her heart.

Although she didn't know who Qin Feng and Le Zheng Yujing were, she could actually see that they were both good people.

Knowing that A Liu was someone the National Master's Mansion wanted, they still dared to snatch her from the National Master's Mansion.

At that time, they were not doing it for fun, but really wanted to save A Liu.

And Qin Feng took off his outer robe and gave it to A Liu. Just based on this point, it shows that he regarded the mermaid as a person, which was better than everyone in Anle City.

Without A Liu, the burden on her can be unloaded.

"Yue Ji... don't dare..."

"Don't dare? "

The ghost master stared at Yue Ji with his ugly but sinister eyes, as if he could see all her emotions.

"Yue Ji, if you think you can do whatever you want just because you have been with me for seven hundred years, then you are too naive."

"Even if A Liu is gone, do you think I have no other way to control you?"

"Or, in two days... do you want to go?"
