Thus, the Sea King brought Zhuo Chen, along with many gifts, to Cang Ming Pavillion to apologize to Hai Cangming, hoping he would return his "unruly" daughter.
Seeing the Sea King of the Mermaid Tribe arrive, Hai Cangming's thoughts became active. Xue Mo had refused to be his wife, perhaps because she was too young and didn't understand the feeling of love. It might be better to have her father persuade her, and maybe she would agree.
Therefore, Hai Cangming confided his thoughts to the Sea King, hoping he would persuade Xue Mo to accept his proposal.
What he didn't expect was that the Sea King wasn't pleased by his love for his daughter, nor was he willing to persuade his daughter to agree. He stated that he was a very democratic father, and Xue Mo's life choices were hers to make.
The Sea King's response made Hai Cangming very angry; he refused to release Xue Mo.
