Because they went out to attend school, and also because Yan Chuhuan had dropped them off in the morning, two extra bodyguards came to pick them up after school. They had been ordered by the Duchess to follow Xue Ling.

Unfortunately, these people saw only Yan Qingjun at the school gate.

The golden-tailed merman heard the bodyguards' orders, and said rather embarrassedly, "Wenwen said he wanted to keep the whole journey secret, and was not willing to tell anyone, so he skipped out of class and sneaked out."

The bodyguards: "..." It's enough that they had more responsibility now that they had one more young master, but how did the little young master suddenly turn so ignorant that he didn't bring any bodyguards or breeders with him and went out on his own? What kind of joke was this!?

This matter was sent over to the Duke's side. Yan Chuhuan blocked the news and sent people out to look for him. He was placating Yan Qingjun on one side while trying to get into contact with Xue Ling on the other. To his surprise, even though he had insisted that everything was to be kept secret, he received a response when he made a call to Xue Ling's nano-computer.

Only, the person who replied to him was not Xue Ling.

Yan Chuhuan's face was particularly ugly, which made Yan Qingjun rather anxious. He tugged at Yan Chuhuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Elder brother, did something really happen to Wenwen? If I'd known, I would've never allowed him to do that. I can never hold out against him when he acts cute like that."

Yan Chuhuan turned off his nano-computer, his expression not good at all, and said, "Nothing's wrong, but he's with Lou Cen."

Yan Qingjun: "???" How did a Lou Cen suddenly pop up?!

After skipping out of class, Xue Ling had enough time to do many things. He knew very clearly that as a merperson, the people of the Duke's Palace would all think of him as weak and frail, the kind of glass that would shatter with a touch, but in fact, although he was still a juvenile deep-sea merfolk, the deep-sea merfolk abilities had been with him since birth. His speed and strength were both very good, and coupled with Xue Ling's own heritage, it would not be a problem to deal with an S-class breeder. When he became an adult, he would awaken the unique ability of the Emperor's lineage to control the ocean. By then, he would be able to reach the heavens if he wanted to, or go to the bottom of the sea as he liked, and it would be incredibly cool.

It was a pity that original owner of this body hadn't made it to true adulthood.

Xue Ling found a small corner in the school to change his fish tail into legs, had the system cover for him and hide him from the Academy's monitoring and patrols, and then ran out.

Following the route he had planned out, he changed transports twice, and then arrived at the Central Mall.

The original owner of this body had disappeared in this area. The plot had not detailed the exact location of the research laboratory, but according to some clues, one could still obtain some results. The so-called Mermaid Research Laboratory should be an underground area in a large commercial zone. The main part of the underground area consisted of illegal shopping streets that existed outside of government jurisdiction. For it to exist in the capital, it had to have many strong backers behind it. It would be a long road if it were to be destroyed from the outside, and would also require Lou Cen's cooperation.
