Sea King had guessed correctly. From the very beginning, Lu Yin had been prepared for the worst. He wasn't arrogant enough to assume he could definitely protect the Canglan Territory.

A hint of disappointment crossed Hai Qiqi's eyes. She put on a haughty air. "I'm Sea King's daughter. Do you think just anyone can meet me?"
Lu Yin didn't
