With this realization, Su Yu finally understood why the Merfolk Clan had abandoned Qi but, instead of banishing him from the tribe, had let him live in the area where the Divine Tree was located.
That Divine Tree, perhaps, was no ordinary Divine Tree.
Perhaps Qi wasn't the only youngling they had abandoned in that stretch of sea at first.
She also had a sudden realization: during all the years Qi lived in that part of the sea, when those Merfolk came looking for him, not once did they enter the water. They always called to him from the shore.
Given the Merfolk Clan's natural love for the sea, they would have found it impossible to resist taking a dip upon seeing the ocean.
Yet in the stretch of sea where Qi lived, there wasn't a single other Merfolk besides him.
This in itself was incredibly strange.
When Su Yu reacted, her heart filled with panic. She reached out a trembling hand toward Qi, her lips parted, wanting to warn him, but she couldn't get a single word out.
