Chapter 476: Fishing (2)

don’t use your strength.” Xianyao said."Don't use my strength Oh, you're afraid that my Scarlet Serpent Hand will hurt you, right Don't worry, you can't die yet. I won't accidentally kill you. We'll...Chapter 476 Fishing 2

"If we had met before, I would definitely remember you. I don't recall ever meeting you, so believe that we haven't seen each other. But if you think you've met me before, it could be because you've met the Third Master."

"The Third Master... Oh, Uncle Three. Right, you look a bit like Uncle Three, no wonder I thought I had seen you somewhere. So you and Uncle Three are somewhat similar," Luo Baocai said as she finally understood; Xianyao did resemble the Third Master but not to the point of being indistinguishable from him. With his current attire, it was even harder for people to recognize him.

"So you must be that cousin who refuses to acknowledge Uncle Three..." Luo Baocai recalled who Xianyao was; she had occasionally heard about Xianyao's refusal to accept the Third Master as his father from others.

"I wasn't his son anyway. I feel more like the old patriarch." Xianyao replied.

"That makes sense, Father told me that Uncle Three looks a lot like Grandpa." Luo Baocai nodded and looked at Xianyao's hand, wanting to say something but unsure of how to start.

"You didn't come here just to recognize family ties, right What else is there" Xianyao saw that Luo Baocai had other intentions.

"I want your kite. Can I have it" Luo Baocai looked slightly embarrassed as she asked Xianyao.

"Oh, you want this kite Here." Xianyao casually handed her the wooden handle of the kite string spool.

"Thank you!" Luo Baocai said gratefully; she hadn't expected Xianyao to be so straightforward.

"No need to thank me, it's just a trinket. I can make another one anytime." Xianyao said nonchalantly. He had made this kite himself because handling the kite string was troublesome and he gave it to Luo Baocai when she wanted it. Otherwise, he would burn it as firewood later.

Humph, you just want to curry favor with Baocai!

The sisters of Luo Baocai thought that Xianyao's generosity was merely because he knew her identity and thus was trying to please her. Even the most valuable items might be given to her; how could it be a worthless old kite

They believed Xianyao should be teaching Luo Baocai how to control the kite from one side, but when they prepared to intervene, they found that he had no such intention. After handing over the kite to Luo Baocai, Xianyao walked away to a distant riverbank, looking for something.

If he was near them doing something, they would think he still wanted to attract Luo Baocai's attention. But by walking off and becoming hard to spot, it clearly indicated their guess was wrong.

Is this feinting before striking We'll have to continue watching to know for sure.

Soon, they abandoned that idea because Xianyao jumped into a spot where no shadow could be seen. If he were really feinting before striking, at the very least, one should still find him.

The question is, why did he jump down

The young ladies felt puzzled but didn't take it too seriously. After all, although Xianyao might be the Third Master's son and have a high status, his appearance made them think that there was no point in paying attention to him.

Moreover, the Third Master was already history. He used to be favored by the former patriarch and was of direct lineage with high status because of it.

However, now they had a new master who wasn't his brother but rather a cousin. Although their relationship was still good, there was definitely a distance between them. His children would become collateral relatives.

While any Lo family member with Lo blood has the potential to vie for the position of master, currently, this line isn’t as powerful as that of Luo Junjie.

If they wanted someone, it’d be better off finding Fifth Brother or Eighth Brother. They might become another Third Master or at least have the status of a Third Master; in comparison, Xianyao was too far behind.

His current appearance also made them feel quite unimpressed.

"Baocai, why are you holding such an ordinary kite Look at mine, it's so beautiful."

When Xianyao released the kite, those people came to cause trouble. But when Luo Baocai let go of this kite, they came to seek opportunities to get closer. As a heavenly beauty with status comparable to a princess from Flowstone Kingdom, there was no shortage of suitors around her.

Soon enough, many young masters gathered around Luo Baocai, fortunately, she had quite a few sisters who blocked them. It's easy for people, both men and women, to feel protective towards Luo Baocai.

"No way, my kite is the cutest of all! Your kites are too ugly." Luo Baocai said directly, making those young masters fall silent.

Originally, they wanted to compete with Luo Baocai in kite flying, but her kite was simply too high up for them. They couldn't complete this act of intimacy and were very frustrated that such an old kite could fly so high.

Screw it, let each person play their own game then. If they can't get close to Luo Baocai, at least find someone else; women should be married off first and kept at home.

The thoughts of these young masters seemed similar to the Third Master's, not wanting to miss this opportunity and instead finding a girl to talk about love with. The girls here all had exceptional status; even without being as important as Luo Baocai, they wouldn't be too bad either.

Gradually, more and more couples were playing games, flying kites, strolling in the fields or doing other activities.

In summary, those who succeeded were becoming increasingly numerous. Of course, there were also many who did not succeed, among whom someone might find a match they liked later on, or perhaps remain unsuccessful.

"Where is Yue Xiaoyao" After playing around for some time, Luo Baocai thought of Xiaoyao and wondered where he was.

"He must be somewhere over there. Why ask about him" one of her sisters answered.

"I want to treat him to something as a token of my gratitude," said Luo Baocai. Since someone had given her a gift, she naturally wanted to return the favor.

“There’s no need for that; just saying ‘thank you’ would be fine,” replied one sister. They did not want to eat together with Xiaoyao. If Luo Baocai invited him, it meant they’d have to join them as well.

"But wouldn’t it seem inappropriate if I only said thank you for such a good gift" asked Luo Baocai.

“…”

A good gift Oh my! This kind of common kite, she actually considers it a treasure. However, that’s just how she is; inexplicably fond of certain things.

"Where is he Why can’t I find him" Luo Baocai began her search for Xiaoyao but at this moment, he was out of her sight and there was no way she could find him.

“Should we tell her”

“Forget it. We should still tell her; otherwise, she’ll never give up!”

"Yeah, she might search for three days and nights without giving up!"

The sisters debated a moment before deciding to inform Luo Baocai of Xiaoyao's whereabouts. Upon hearing this, she immediately went looking for him, with her companions following along.

“Yue Xiaoyao! So you were hiding here What are you doing”

Luo Baocai found that Xiaoyao was sitting on a small grassy area by the river. Of course, he was actually seated on a portable stool, one of those that could be folded up for easy carrying.

Such stools were necessary at events like spring outings, as there might not always be places to sit and rest.

Xiaoyao wasn’t daydreaming but rather fishing with his own specially made collapsible fishing rod.

"Shh… didn't you see me I'm fishing!" said Xiaoyao in a hushed voice. On the ground beside him, there seemed to be several large fish impaled on swords. The swords were sheathed and it was impossible to tell their quality from afar.

“So you’re fishing! You’ve caught quite a bit. Want me to get my servants to cook them”

Luo Baocai said, although her servants weren’t many, they did bring along some basic cooking utensils and ingredients so preparing the fish would be no problem.

"Alright then, that sounds fine. A full fish banquet would do nicely. Did you come prepared" Xiaoyao nodded in agreement; he never refused when someone else offered to help.

“With just this much It’s not enough, is it”

One of Luo Baocai’s companions said. The fish on Xiaoyao's swords would be enough for the two of them but certainly wouldn’t suffice when others joined in.

"It should be more than enough even if we include you all."

Xiaoyao replied.

Everyone was puzzled; how could this be Does he have a small appetite and use his own standard to measure everyone else’s

Soon, they understood why. It wasn’t that Xiaoyao had little appetite but rather they hadn't noticed the fish he had caught in large quantities behind him.

"You… you just caught all this" Luo Baocai and her companions were stunned as she asked Xiaoyao.

“Yes. Look, another one!”

Xiaoyao nodded just as he reeled in another fish with great skill. He then put on a new bait and cast his fishing line again.

"How can this be possible So many fish! You seem to have been staying here the whole time. There wouldn’t be so many fish all concentrated in one place, would there"

One of the companions said skeptically. How could someone catch such a large number of fish from just one spot

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because of migrating schools of fish. Look, another one…"

Xiaoyao casually replied as he reeled in yet another fish and repeated his earlier actions.

“…”

This can’t be possible! It must just be a coincidence!
