Jiang Zuo glanced at the person who spoke, then said, "Eight Trigrams Colored Fish can’t hear sound."

The Eight Trigrams Colored Fish wasn’t a real fish; it couldn’t be understood in conventional terms.

The man was taken aback, then said, "It can’t hear just because you say so? Well, I say you’re the one who doesn’t understand plain language. Don’t you know how to be quiet?"

Jiang Zuo said no more. He simply swung his fishing rod and, with the speed of a thunderclap, struck the man.

The blow sent him flying straight into the lake.

After that, Jiang Zuo calmly sat back down and resumed fishing.

Many people were stunned. ’A private duel, right out in the open?’

’He’ll be kicked out of the Holy Land for this, won’t he?’

Just then, the cultivator who had been knocked into the water struggled back to shore. When he climbed out, he didn’t make a move against Jiang Zuo.

Having just emerged from the water, he was surprisingly calm.

He had actually tried to dodge, but the angle of the fishing rod’s attack had been too unpredictable. He simply couldn’t avoid it.

He had thought the other man was just an ordinary person, but now even a fool could see he wasn’t.

And he was definitely a Cultivator far more powerful than him.

He didn’t have any powerful backing to begin with, so naturally, he didn’t want to start a conflict with this man.

So all he could do was slink away in disgrace.

After that, no one dared to say a word. However, no one from the Holy Land showed up either, which suggested that their surveillance of the area was actually quite lax.

The Yi Family siblings, on the other hand, had a much easier time. Because of Jiang Zuo, no one dared to openly bother them.

Still, the Yi Family siblings had no intention of fishing yet. They wanted to wait and see.

They would at least wait until a good number of people had caught a fish before starting.

After a while, Yi Yu decided to let Yiyi get some sleep first. After all, it was late at night.

Although it never got dark inside, their biological clocks were still ticking, especially for ordinary people.

But just as Yiyi was about to go to sleep, she saw a group of people in bizarre outfits walking over.

There were several of them, all dressed in clothes of every imaginable color and holding multicolored fishing rods. A few of them even had multicolored hair.

In short, they were an incredibly conspicuous group, especially in a crowd of plainly dressed people like them.

They were utterly unique, standing out like peacocks in a flock of pigeons.

Yiyi’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

What surprised her even more was that these people were heading in her direction.

Soon, they arrived a short distance away from her. Yiyi took a closer look and discovered that they were all strikingly attractive—the men handsome, the women gorgeous.

There was even a beautiful girl who looked to be about her age.

The group stopped in front of them. Yi Yu instinctively moved to protect Yiyi, fearing something might happen.

Everyone else also looked over. The group’s arrival had attracted a lot of attention.

Only Jiang Zuo didn’t even turn his head.

The newcomers looked at Yi Yu and his sister, then glanced at the other side of Jiang Zuo. Finally, Mo Yan found an empty spot, sat down, and started fishing.

That’s right—it was none other than Chi Xue Child and his group.

After Mo Yan sat down, Liuyue Xue sat beside him with her head lowered. She just hoped no one here recognized her.

’This is so embarrassing.’

Chi Xue Child also sat down, while Xiao Xiaomo brought Chu Qing and Chu Qing over to Yi Yu’s side. There was enough space, so it wasn’t crowded.

Yi Yu and his sister naturally made some room for them.

The newcomers chose their spots without a word as soon as they arrived. They gave off a powerful and imposing aura, and no one dared to speak.

Then, Liu Yiyi, Chen Yi, and the others came over and sat down by Chi Xue Child.

No one spoke. They all took out their fishing rods and simply began to fish. Their coordination was perfect.

After fishing for a while, Mo Yan suddenly asked, "Can we talk now? It’s kind of painful holding it all in."

Liuyue Xue wanted to say that it wasn’t painful at all. ’But I’m fishing, so it’s inconvenient to type. And even if I did, no one would see it.’

’Should I use the text-to-speech feature again?’

’If I use it too often, people will start thinking that mechanical voice is my actual voice. That wouldn’t be good.’

So, Liuyue Xue remained silent.

Chu Qing said, "Sister Xiao, I want to go back."

Xiao Xiaomo ignored Chu Qing’s request. "Your parents said if you don’t behave, you’re not allowed to do any more smithing. You were injured so badly this time, you can’t blame me for that."

Chu Qing pouted but went back to fishing obediently.

Chi Xue Child said, "Guess which one of us will catch a fish first?"

Chen Yi said, "I’ll bet one First Grade. My money’s on Chu Qing."

Yang Mu asked, "Are we starting a betting pool? Who wants to be the house?"

Blade Master Hai Bian said nothing. He couldn’t participate because he didn’t have a single Spirit Stone.

Mo Yan said, "I’ll be the house..."

Just then, Chu Qing suddenly said, "Um, I think I caught one."

Then Chu Qing lifted her rod, and a colored fish disappeared into her body.

Everyone: "..."

Chen Yi felt like he had just missed out on a fortune.

At that moment, Chu Qing also said, "I think I caught one too."

Then she lifted up a colored fish.

"Hmm, this feels great, but it’s not forged well," Chu Qing said.

Xiao Xiaomo also spoke up, "I think I..."

Chen Yi cut her off, "Boss, don’t say it. I know you caught one too. Let’s just all fish in peace."

Everyone: "..."

After Chu Qing’s first catch, the rest of them started catching fish one after another. Chi Xue Child’s group was reeling them in consistently.

This went on for a long time. It was as if all the fish were gathering on their side.

Yi Yu also took the opportunity to start fishing with Yiyi. With so many people around, they weren’t afraid anymore.

The other onlookers were green with envy. ’Holy shit, where did this bunch of freaks come from?’

’Who the hell fishes like that?’

More and more people began to gather around Jiang Zuo’s group, but none of them could match the bizarre outfits of the newcomers.

The other people’s chances of catching a fish were very low.

At this point, Liuyue Xue’s gaze fell on the Yi Family siblings. She didn’t quite understand. ’Why is their luck so good, too?’

’And they don’t even have to wear flashy clothes.’

’Weren’t we told you had to expend something of the Ninth Grade?’

She refused to believe that these two could have such ridiculously good luck. Their fishing speed was almost catching up to her group’s.

But the benefits of this fishing were truly incredible.

She could feel her Realm changing. It was hard to describe—it felt as though her path had widened, and her Cultivation had increased slightly.

While fishing, Chi Xue Child said, "Mo Yan, take a video of me fishing. I want to send it to my senior brothers and sisters to show them how easy fishing can actually be. I’m gonna make them so mad."

Mo Yan said, "You got it. I’ll send it to them for you."

Then Mo Yan got up and started recording Chi Xue Child. Naturally, he made sure to include the others in the shot to make it look more authentic.

After a while, Mo Yan sent the video to Xiao Xiaomo. "Fairy Xiaomo, could you edit this for me? Make the effects look good."

Xiao Xiaomo: "..."

Still, she helped edit it. She was a professional when it came to this sort of thing.

Afterward, Mo Yan sent the edited video to Chi Xue Child’s senior brothers and sisters with a message: "So this is what fishing in the Holy Land is like? Pretty interesting. (Chi Xue Child said this. He also said, ’Come on, bring it on if you’ve got the guts. The Spirit Stones under his bed make him fearless.’)"

Zi Feng quickly replied to Mo Yan: "We don’t care about these fish. But does our little junior brother know that you deliberately leaked the location of his Spirit Stones?"

Mo Yan: "..."

’These guys really aren’t that easy to fool.’

Then, Mo Yan said to Chi Xue Child, "Senior Brother Zi Feng says you’ve gone bald, but you’ve also gotten stronger."

Chi Xue Child: "..."
