Bai Ruozhu followed Jianqi down to the ship cabin. Because they appeared so suddenly and Bai Ruozhu remained silent, the ship workers below did not realize she had gone down.
Very soon, she heard a lot of chatter.
"It must be the Merfolk who ate the man; don't they supposedly live by eating people?"
"This is too scary, isn't there anyone to manage this? Who knows who's next?"
"Just because Bai's disciple likes him, he can let him go around killing people?"
"Bai isn't someone who doesn't know right from wrong. Don't forget how Bai treated us when we were sick. Without Bai, we might have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish."
"I never said Bai was wrong. I'm just afraid Bai is tricked by the Merfolk. Haven't you heard about how dangerous Merfolk are? People who encounter Merfolk at sea never return."
Everyone chimed in, their tones filled with fear and anger, along with strong rejection of the Merfolk.
