I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 145 Connection

"Oh right, I think I just heard the seniors talking about some rooms that are different..."

The mermaid princess changed the subject, blinking curiously, "What's different? Have you seniors ever seen a necklace similar to my Cloud Pearl Necklace?"

Uh……

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances.

Yun Qingyi pondered for a moment, then looked at the mermaid princess and said, "I have seen one before, but the quality is slightly inferior to the one the princess gave me. That cloud pearl necklace does not have water ripple patterns on it."

After Yun Qingyi finished speaking, the mermaid princess's expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

However, Yun Qingyi, who was paying close attention to the mermaid princess, quickly noticed something amiss and asked directly, "Does the princess know where that necklace came from?"

"Senior, this..." The mermaid princess looked at Yun Qingyi, seemingly hesitant and conflicted, as if she wanted to say something but was at a loss for words.

Upon seeing this, Yun Qingyi asked again, "Is it related to that merman named Tusuo?"

Upon hearing the name Tuso, the mermaid princess's eyes widened instantly. She looked at Yun Qingyi with surprise and a hint of unease: "Senior, do you... know Tuso?"

"Hmm... I wouldn't say we know each other, but we've met and fought once," Yun Qingyi replied carefully, recalling what had happened in the room.

Upon hearing the words "had a fight," Yun Qingyi clearly saw that the unease on the mermaid princess's face immediately subsided by more than half.

Then she cautiously asked, "Senior, may I ask if you have any grudges with Tuso?"

Any grudges? It seems not. It's just a puppet controlled by some unknown entity, so there's no real grudge between them.

Although that's what she was thinking, Yun Qingyi didn't intend to say it that way. This mermaid princess clearly had some grudge against Tu Suo. In this situation, it was obviously better to say that there was a grudge than to say that there wasn't.

Thinking this, Yun Qingyi nodded to the mermaid princess.

After Yun Qingyi nodded, the unease on the merman princess's face completely disappeared, and she began to speak with righteous indignation: "Hmph! I knew it! How could a treacherous, cunning, and despicable merman like Tu Suo possibly be acquainted with people like our seniors!"

"You seem to dislike him a lot?" Yun Qingyi asked.

"Of course! Senior, you may not know, but he was the partner my father chose for me."

Although she already knew this, Yun Qingyi still pretended to be surprised and continued to ask, "Since he is your future partner, why do you dislike him so much? I have met him, and he has no flaws in terms of appearance or wealth."

Moreover, it seems that Tuso is very fond of the mermaid princess, Yun Qingyi thought to herself.

She was willing to use all her wealth to ask the Mermaid King to let her become the Mermaid Princess's partner, and she also gave her the Cloud Pearl as a token of her affection.

This is considered the highest form of expression of love among the entire merfolk.

Upon hearing this, the mermaid princess's expression turned serious: "Senior, don't be fooled by that two-faced devil. He's a master at deceiving people with his pitiful and innocent appearance."

“We grew up together, and no one knows him better than me.”

"He's stubborn, obsessive, and dark; he's nothing like a mermaid!" As she said this, a flash of anger and hatred crossed the mermaid princess's eyes.

She then continued, "If I hadn't stumbled upon his secret back then, I might have been deceived by his carefully crafted image, just like everyone else!"

The mermaid princess's words grew more and more excited, which completely confirmed Yun Qingyi's thoughts: this Tu Suo was not simple, and he was definitely a key figure in the whole incident.

Yun Qingyi frowned slightly, as if she had overlooked something.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she found the connection.
