Chapter 1375: Tianyu's Clear Distinction Between Reward and Punishment

After concluding discussions with Wang Jianqiang.

Jiayue did not continue to stay with Wang Jianqiang; after exchanging contact information with Wang Jianqiang, she left.

Not long after.

She reunited with her clansmen.

Upon receiving notification from the clansmen, the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder called her over immediately.

"How was it?"

"What were the gains?"

Upon seeing Jiayue, a gentle smile appeared on the face of the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder.

Hearing the Great Elder's inquiry, Jiayue's heart skipped a beat.

How did the Great Elder know she had gained so much?

Immediately following this, she reacted.

What the Great Elder was talking about and what she was thinking in her heart were likely not the same thing.

When she went to find Tianyu, she had not deliberately concealed her tracks.

The Great Elder must have already known her movements and mistakenly assumed she had gone to discuss cultivation matters with Tianyu.

Thinking of this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just as well to have this misunderstanding; it saved her from having to explain.

"Not bad."

She did not respond directly and nodded vaguely.

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder smiled, not suspecting anything, "As long as there were gains."

"The purpose of this trip has been achieved; the reason we did not leave was because we were waiting for you."

"Since you have returned, it is time for us to leave this Mermaid Clan."

Not long after.

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder personally greeted Mingyan, and then led the cultivators of the Sea Giant Clan away from Huanling City.

"Finally gone?"

Outside Huanling City, Mingyan watched the retreating backs of the Sea Giant Clan members and breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally.

He thought these people from the Sea Giant Clan would leave after staying in Huanling City for three to five days.

But he had not expected.

These people actually stayed in Huanling City for nearly two months.

During this period.

She had been worried that the Sea Giant Clan cultivators would act overbearingly and clash with the Mermaid Clan.

Fortunately.

Although these Sea Giant Clan cultivators were overbearing, they were still able to discern the situation and did not do anything excessive.

"Let's go back."

Mingyan looked at the several high-ranking members of the Mermaid Clan behind her and prepared to return to the city.

A voice suddenly came from the Beast Control Mark in her mind.

"Meet at the old place."

Mingyan's expression stiffened, and her footsteps halted instantly.

"Imperial Lord, what is wrong?"

The several high-ranking Mermaid Clan members were stunned at the sight.

Hearing this, Mingyan came back to her senses and shook her head calmly, "Nothing, just suddenly remembered there are still some matters that have not been handled."

The several high-ranking Mermaid Clan members were startled, "What matters? Do you need us to go?"

"No need."

Mingyan shook her head, "This is not a major matter, but it must be resolved by me personally."

"You all return to the city first; I will return shortly."

Before the words had faded, she had already hurried away in flight.

The several high-ranking members of the Mermaid Clan stared at Mingyan's back as she quickly moved away, only withdrawing their gazes once her figure disappeared.

They walked toward the city.

Just as they reached the city gate, a figure flew out toward them.

Seeing this figure, the group raised their eyebrows.

To this day, the news of Tianyu fighting the Sea Giant Clan's strongest prodigy, Jiayue, alone in the Treasure Land and defeating her had long since spread.

His reputation was already extremely prominent within the Mermaid Clan.

He was regarded as the third prodigy within the Mermaid Clan, following the Mermaid Princess and the Mermaid Prince.

Regarding current strength, many Mermaid Clan cultivators even believed that he was the most powerful one among the three prodigies at present.

It was just that in everyone's view, his strength was only temporarily formed due to the accumulation of fortuitous encounters.

In terms of talent.

He was far inferior to the Mermaid Princess and the Mermaid Prince and would be surpassed sooner or later.

That was why he was ranked after the two of them.

Even so.

The current Tianyu was worthy of being valued by any high-ranking member of the Mermaid Clan.

Although the few high-ranking members of the Mermaid Clan had never seen Tianyu, they had already investigated his information.

They were not unfamiliar with him.

They recognized him at a single glance.

At the same time, Wang Jianqiang also saw those figures at the city gate.

These individuals were all from the top power echelon of the Mermaid Clan, holding high positions and great authority.

Although they had not met Tianyu before this, in Tianyu's memories, he was extremely familiar with them.

"Greetings, seniors."

After approaching them, Wang Jianqiang cupped his hands and bowed to them.

Although he had now become the officially recognized third prodigy of the Mermaid Clan, he was still only a member of the Black Scale Lineage.

He had not yet attained a status like that of Lianyin and Mingchen.

Of course.

The few high-ranking members of the Mermaid Clan also knew that with Tianyu's current abilities, obtaining a high status was only a matter of time.

Therefore, facing Tianyu, they did not show the slightest arrogance.

They all revealed gentle smiles.

"It's Tianyu."

"You are flying out of the city in such a hurry..."

"Could it be that something happened outside the city?"

"Do you need any help?"

The few spoke one after another, their words filled with goodwill.

Wang Jianqiang was startled, then smiled and shook his head, "Seniors have misunderstood; I am just leaving the city to meet a friend."

"So that's how it is."

The few clan elders laughed upon hearing this, "Does your friend want to enter Huanling City?"

"Although our Mermaid Clan does not open to outsiders, if you have a friend arriving, we can still open a door of convenience."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, seniors, but my friend is just passing by; they are coming to see me and then leaving, so they do not intend to enter the city."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the few clan elders nodded.

They walked into the city.

Wang Jianqiang, meanwhile, left the city and flew toward a mountain range in the distance.

Not long after.

He arrived at a cave within the mountain range.

A figure was already waiting in the mountains.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and said with a grin, "Why are you so punctual this time? Could it be that you've missed me after not seeing me for so long?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyan spat secretly in her heart.

Of course, on the surface, she certainly dared not reveal the slightest abnormality.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Master, why did you summon me here?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "How is the task I entrusted to you earlier coming along?"

Mingyan was startled.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang narrowed his eyes, "You didn't forget, did you?"

Mingyan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately reacted, hurriedly shaking her head, "No, how could I dare to forget something you entrusted to me, Master?"

"Isn't it about the quota for going to the Jade Clam Clan? I have already mentioned this matter to my master."

Wang Jianqiang's expression softened, "What was the result?"

Seeing that Tianyu did not continue to pursue the matter, Mingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She had been focusing on those from the Sea Giant race during this time, and since Tianyu hadn't mentioned it, she had almost forgotten about this.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough.

Otherwise, this beast would certainly not let her off.

She pondered for a moment and said, "My master has already agreed to it."

Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "Well done."

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments."

"Transgressions must be punished, and merits will certainly be rewarded."

"Come, let me reward you properly."
