Chapter 1368: Seeing Mingyan Again

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's inquiry, Lianyin shook her head, "As for what specific restrictions there are, I am not clear on that."

"The reason I know this much is because I once accompanied the Empress to the Jade Clam Clan and happened to hear the Empress and the Jade Clam Clan Chief mention it in conversation."

"As for the details, I know very little."

The Mermaid Empress?

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

It seems the Mermaid Empress should know more about the affairs of the Jade Clam Clan.

If that is the case...

As the apprentice of the Mermaid Empress, does Mingyan know?

Even if she doesn't.

He could still have Mingyan go and inquire about it; in any case, these matters are not overly secretive.

The Mermaid Empress should not intentionally conceal them.

"Brother Qiang, you are asking so much, you must be wanting to help Bi Xianzi, right?"

Just then, Lianyin suddenly spoke up.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not hide his intentions, nodding straightforwardly, "I do indeed have that thought."

"I, Wang Jianqiang, have always valued loyalty and righteousness."

"Biyan'er and I have experienced life and death together several times, and our friendship is deep. Since her situation is so perilous, how could I, as her good friend, stand by and do nothing?"

Deep friendship?

Did you add an extra word?

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's high-sounding tone, Lianyin rolled her eyes.

After pondering for a moment, she continued, "The Jade Clam Clan Chief once personally invited the Empress to attend the ceremony when the Saintess Position Competition of the Jade Clam Clan begins."

"The Empress had already agreed at the time."

"Presumably, she will set off for the Jade Clam Clan before long."

"At that time, I will take the initiative to request to follow, as for you..."

Speaking to this point, she gritted her teeth, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Empress and ask for a spot for you to accompany us."

Wang Jianqiang heard this and shook his head with a smile, "No need, I have a way to make the Mermaid Empress agree to let me come along; you don't need to speak up."

"The Mermaid Empress has already ordered you to keep your distance from me. If you go to her to ask for a spot for me, I fear it will cause an excessive reaction from her."

"In that case, it would be counterproductive."

"You have a way?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Lianyin was quite surprised, "You haven't even met the Empress; what way could you have?"

Speaking to this point, her heart stirred, "You don't intend to ask Mingchen for help, do you?"

"If it were before, he might have helped you, but now..."

"I'm afraid it's very difficult."

Lianyin's words were already very tactful.

Anyone with eyes could see that Mingchen had already developed jealousy toward Wang Jianqiang.

Under these circumstances, it would be considered gentlemanly conduct if he didn't trip Wang Jianqiang up.

Still counting on his help?

It is almost impossible.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "Not him, I have other ways."

Lianyin was stunned.

Not Mingchen?

Besides her and Mingchen, does Wang Jianqiang know other high-ranking members of the Mermaid Clan?

How come she didn't know?

However, seeing that Wang Jianqiang did not intend to explain, she did not ask further.

It's just that...

Not every high-ranking member of the Mermaid Clan can get a word in with the Empress.

In the entire Mermaid Clan, there are not many high-ranking members who can frequently be received by the Empress and whom the Empress would give face to.

If Wang Jianqiang places his hope on certain high-ranking members, he will likely end up disappointed.

However, she did not speak to discourage Wang Jianqiang.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "Since Brother Qiang has a channel, then go and try it first. If it really doesn't work, I will go find the Empress."

"Brother Qiang, rest assured. Although disobeying the Empress's orders will make her dissatisfied, with my status, there shouldn't be any major trouble."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded.

He could hear that Lianyin did not seem to have much confidence in what he said.

But how could Lianyin know that the Mermaid Empress's beloved apprentice had already become his person.

This relationship is not at all inferior to the relationship between her and the Mermaid Empress.

If he asked Mingyan to go to the Mermaid Empress to help him secure a spot, the Mermaid Empress would certainly not refuse.

After leaving the Princess Mansion.

Wang Jianqiang quickly left the city, arrived at the old spot, and sent a message to Mingyan once again.

After the Mermaid Empress secretly returned to her residence, the moment she thought of her previous experience, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

To think that she, the dignified Mermaid Empress, would suffer such humiliation.

If this can be tolerated, what cannot!

She must find a way to remove that mark in her mind as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly stirred.

The Jade Clam Clan Saintess Position Competition was about to begin soon.

When she had previously gone to the Jade Clam Clan, she had received an invitation from the Jade Clam Clan Chief to go and watch the Saintess Position Competition.

She could take this opportunity to go to the Jade Clam Clan and see if there was any way within the clan that could help her.

Just as she was pondering how to ask the Jade Clam Clan Chief for a method to remove the Control Mark without revealing that she was being controlled.

In her mind, the Beast Control Mark suddenly trembled.

Immediately, a familiar voice came from within it.

"Little treasure, see you at the usual place."

Mingyan's expression stiffened.

What was this guy trying to do?

She had only just returned...

Why was he calling her again?

After her expression shifted for a moment, she knew she could not disobey this order.

She could only grit her teeth and fly toward the outside of the city with a face full of humiliation.

"Damned bastard."

"Once I find a way to remove this mark, I will definitely make you die without a burial place!"

Not long after.

Mingyan arrived at that familiar mountain range, entered a familiar cave, and then saw that familiar yet detestable figure in the cave.

At this moment, she possessed none of the majesty and nobility she had within Huanling City.

Her heart was filled with humiliation and resentment, yet she dared not show even a fraction of it.

"Mas... Master!"

She suppressed the indignation in her heart and spoke up.

"Good."

Wang Jianqiang stepped forward and pinched her cheek with a chuckle.

Mingyan's expression stiffened, "I wonder why Master has called me here?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang spoke directly, "How much do you know about the Jade Clam Clan Saintess Position Competition?"

Mingyan was stunned.

Why was Tianyu suddenly interested in the Jade Clam Clan Saintess Position Competition?

She secretly activated the Mermaid Tear, briefly suppressing the Beast Control Mark for an instant, and shook her head, "I haven't looked into it."

Regardless of why this bastard wanted to pay attention to the Jade Clam Clan Saintess Competition, not telling him was the right thing to do.

Thinking of this.

A sense of vengeful satisfaction could not help but rise in Mingyan's heart.

Just then, the voice of "Tianyu" suddenly came to her ears again, "Since that's the case, I'll give you a task: go and ask the Mermaid Empress immediately."

"At this time tomorrow, I will still be waiting for you here."

Hearing this, Mingyan's expression changed instantly.

She did not want to see "Tianyu" again.

Her expression flickered, and she hurriedly spoke, "That... Master, I suddenly remembered that my master seemed to have mentioned some things to me before regarding the Jade Clam Clan Saintess Position Competition."

"It's just that it was a long time ago, and I wasn't very concerned about this matter, so the impression faded and I didn't recall it for a moment."
