The market East of the White Peony City was also quite famous. At first, it was famous because the whole city was concentrated here. But after that, the city became more and more prosperous, and the main street also changed. Until now, it was just a few ordinary streets. But there was something different about the east side of the bazaar, which was the opening of a lake, where the pavilions and pavilions were beautiful.

Therefore, although there were no bustling scenes of peddlers coming and going, the market had become a place for scholars to recite their poems.

This lake had a refined name. It was called Phoenix Nest Wu. There were indeed many tall parasol trees planted on the shore. The jade lotus in the lake rippled with the waves, and the red carp swam back and forth. The scenery was extremely beautiful.

Although it was a beautiful scene, the commoners were more concerned with food and clothing, and seldom had the leisure to come here. There were many scholars and scholars who came, but most of them gathered to the east of the Phoenix Nest Martial Arts. There were high class teahouses and poetry galleries there, and they were a good place to stay. Of course, a cup of tea and a plate of snacks were worth a lot of silver taels.

Meanwhile, Hu Ying and the others were going to the west side of the Phoenix Nest City. There was no one taking care of this place, nor were there any unnecessary buildings. On the bank, there were clover bushes, tree leaves, and branches that were slanted. There was a kind of simple and gentle scenery.

"Come, come, this place is the best." Hu Ying was the first to walk under the shade of a tree as she enthusiastically called out to the others.

The first one to arrive was naturally the helper, Dou'er. The poor storekeeper had been surrounded by the peddlers for two hours and had engaged in a short, random attack. He almost vomited a mouthful of blood as he collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Jin Xiao and the others had passed by and rescued him.

He carried his fishing rod and fish basket as he jogged over to collect all the items. Following behind him were Ying Zhu and Jin Xiao. The two of them walked together, and although they did not talk much on the way here, they would occasionally glance at each other, and would immediately turn away when their eyes met. Of course, Hu Ying was looking at him with amusement. This was the so-called passing on a relationship through the eyes, the face, and the eyes. What a good omen.

"I'll have to trouble Young Master Jin to help me get something." Yingli looked at Jin Xiao, revealing a gentle and bashful smile. In the end, she was still a young miss, so she didn't have much strength. A three-level lacquer box was more than enough for her to carry. Jin Xiao held the other two boxes in his hands. In his hands, it was as easy as holding two leaves.

"That's nothing. Miss Yingzhu, don't mind it." Jin Xiao snickered, a hint of bashfulness on his handsome face.

Hu Ying, who was already standing on the shore and enjoying the view, turned around and saw the scene in front of her. She covered her mouth and laughed. Dou'er came over and blinked her eyes. "What did Sister Hu Ying see? Why didn't I see anything funny? "

"You're still young." Hu Ying once again beckoned them over. It was quiet here, and the scenery was pretty good. He didn't need to listen to those sour scholars' poems. When Jin Xiao and the rest saw Hu Ying's beckoning, they hurriedly walked forward and placed the items on the table.

The fox girl from Qing Qiu looked around and realized that something was missing. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the absence of the Sect Master and the curtain of rain.

"Eh? "Where is he?" Hu Ying was astonished. "I was there just now. Did I get lost?"

"Ah?" "It can't be?" Jin Xiao was also surprised. The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was not that muddle-headed, right? Hu Ying was also unsure. She started to walk back and forth, saying, "I'll go take a look. If I really get lost, it'll be easy to find it again."

She had only taken a few steps when two figures walked out from under the thick green shade of the tree. They were none other than Sect Master Xiao Luo and the curtain of rain. Compared to the others' complacent expressions, Xiao Luo was a little unnatural. He wore a tea-green gauze gown, and on his waist was still a magical sword. His hair was tied with a jade crown, and a wooden hairpin was inserted diagonally. The rain curtain beside him did not change at all. His face was still as stiff as usual. It did not seem like he was going on an outing to fish, but more like he was going to the execution grounds.

Hu Ying let out a long sigh. She rubbed her forehead and said to the two of them, "I said that we're here to play. If we're not here to behead the demons and exterminate the devils, can't we be happier?"

The moment she heard 'beheading demons and exterminating devils', Dou'er was the first to quiver and subconsciously looked left and right.

Xiao Luo was a little embarrassed. Other than the day of the sacrificial ceremony, he almost didn't come out of the sect. Instead, when he was young, he had once seen flowers and angry horses, or when he had a light fur. Thinking about it now was like a grand and distant dream.

"Come here, this is for you, this is for you …" Hu Ying had already started distributing the fishing rod. She walked over to Xiao Luo and placed the rod in his hand. Seeing his expression, the clever Hu Ying rolled her eyes, moved closer to him and whispered, "Hey, Sovereign, to be honest, don't you know how to fish? Are you afraid of making a fool of yourself? It's okay, I'll cover you! I'll give you a few later! "

The Sect Leader was slightly startled. He lowered his eyes to look at Hu Ying's smile, which was covered by a faint halo, before smiling as well, "Alright. Then, I'll have to trouble Miss Hu."

"Sure, no problem!" Hu Ying generously patted the Sovereign's back. Her delicate face was filled with the complacency and responsibility of a boss protecting his lackeys. Xiao Luo pursed his lips and smiled.

"Master." The curtain of rain that had been silent all this time had brought a rock from somewhere and covered the seat cushion. No matter what happened, he would have to take the sect master as his life goal, and it was already impossible to change that.

As Xiao Luo sat down, he took the opportunity to throw out the fishing line. What followed was … Uh, dazed. He really wasn't familiar with fishing. Even if he had been fishing before, he was not good at this kind of activity where he waited for a fish to catch it. There was no need to mention Yu Mu. He was the most self-disciplined disciple of the sect. Other than attending classes, practicing martial arts, and drawing talismans, he was always by the side of the sect master.

Yu Mu was stunned for a moment. Since he had been told to throw the fishing line, he didn't think of anything else and continued to struggle against the line. When he noticed something was wrong, he heard a crackling sound. This time, the fishing line came flying over, but the hook clearly had a piece of muslin on it.

The curtain of rain silently cursed. Turning his head to look, he saw that Xiao Luo's face was full of surprise, and that the thin gauze gown he was wearing had already been ripped open.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Master!"

Hu Ying admitted that she had also known Rain Curtain for quite some time, and she had seen it in both the front and back. This was the first time she heard Rain Curtain sound so flustered and confused. This voice caused the air to tremble as well. It scared Dou'er to the point that his tail was sticking out as he looked around in panic, "What's wrong?" The looks of a deer's eyes were comparable to that of a weasel who had been caught red-handed on the scene.

"Never mind, it's fine." Xiao Luo smiled, not paying much attention.

The curtain of rain was filled with distress and shame. He was flustered and threw away his fishing rod. He even kicked over the fishing basket with a single movement of his feet. He squatted down to pick up the bait. He was so upset that he kept coming up.

Hu Ying could be considered to have experienced what it meant to have specialised skills in the field of martial arts, which meant that outside of the specialized field, there were only trash. She sighed with her hand on her forehead and glanced at Jin Xiao and Ying Zhu. She didn't need to worry about them at all. Other than the fact that he knew how to use the Night Pearl, he had no other use for it. He immediately ran over to the grand master's side with the fishing rod and the small cushion in his arms.

"Idiot, hmph, hmph, hmph, are you trying to hook up with the sect leader or are you trying to fish?" Hu Ying went up to the curtain of rain and taunted. The latter raised her head and glared at her, but it was not easy to refute. She did not even dare to look at the grand master as she continued to lower her head to pick up the bait.

Hu Ying was only joking with him. She knew that this guy's mind was in a mess right now, even more than a boiling pot of sweet potato. Therefore, she was in a good mood and didn't want to add a few more sticks of firewood to him.

"How is it? Do you feel especially comfortable?" After placing the small cushion next to Xiao Luo, Hu Ying sat down cross-legged without a care. The fishing rod was thrown into the lake, causing ripples to form.

Xiao Luo did not immediately reply. Instead, his gaze slightly shifted, and the green shade above his head swayed. The fragmented sunlight fell upon him, making him feel faint between his eyebrows.

"The sky is very blue."

The sect master half closed her eyes and said something that seemed to be false.

Hu Ying, who was standing at the side, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you're happy or sad. The sky has always been blue, and the clouds are also very white.

Xiao Luo lowered his head and carefully savored the taste. The young girl with the jade green color of the Misty Rain looked back at him and smiled. Ye Zichen thought of her pointing a finger at his forehead, "You think too much, some things can't be stopped, you are just worried about becoming an old man, if a natural disaster comes, the human heart will turn into a demon, can you control it?"

"But …"

"You are not a god, Xiao Luo.

Memories of the past fluttered like a swarm of butterflies in the face of the brilliant morning light as they flew off into the distance. The memory of the young girl's smile and Hu Ying's desire to overlap, let Xiao Luo momentarily absent-minded, the soft thorn in the bottom of his heart quivered, sadness and longing poured out. Unconsciously, he reached out his hand to touch Hu Ying's face.

Xiao Luo was startled when he felt a warm sensation on his fingertips. Lian Xi's smile flew along with the memory fragments. What really existed in front of his eyes was Hu Ying's somewhat astonished expression.

His hand trembled as he hurriedly withdrew it. The heart that had always been calm and still rippled opened as his gaze drifted toward the jade-green lake's surface. After a moment, she turned around and looked at Hu Ying with a solemn expression, "Thank you."

"Aiya, it's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Hu Ying smiled like a cat and said, "The bill is different."

Xiao Luo helplessly shook his head and laughed at the same time. The depressed feeling in his heart had actually dissipated quite a bit. Perhaps in response to his rare good mood, the fishing line that had been suspended motionlessly above the lake slightly moved. Hu Ying's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of it first, "The fish has caught the bait!"

The Sect Leader was slightly anxious. Although he had fished with Lian Xi before, it was always Lian Xi who fished. He was reading by the side. The two of them were very satisfied when they were quietly together. They didn't care whether there were fish or not. However, this time, the bait was real. This was also the first time that Xiao Luo had encountered it and couldn't help but be flustered.

"Don't panic, don't panic …" Hu Ying instructed Xiao Luo in a low voice. She was worried that her words would scare the fish away. Even Yu Mu who wanted to come over and help her was silenced by her.

With one hand tightly grasping the reel and the other retracting the thread, Xiao Luo did not know what kind of fish was beneath the lake, but it unexpectedly held on tightly to the fishing line. The tenacious silk thread was stretched taut. At that moment, Jin Xiao also ran over and helped Xiao Luo grab the fishing rod. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This Yu Tie is definitely not small! "You have quite the bit of strength!"

"That's great, we'll catch them and roast them later!" Hu Ying became even more spirited and her eyes lit up.

However, just as everyone was putting in all their effort to bring the fish up, there was suddenly no movement from below the lake, and the powerful dragging disappeared without a trace.

Everyone looked at each other. Xiao Luo blinked, not knowing what was going on. Hu Ying was also a little confused. She squatted down by the lake and stared at the water's surface. Although the Phoenix Nest Martial Spirit's waters were clear and clear, the lotus leaves were long and the flower buds bloomed, making it impossible to see the inside of the lake.

"Maybe the fish got baited and ran away?" Jin Xiao guessed.

Hu Ying pouted and put her hands on her hips, still sulking over the fish that had gone to her mouth.

Since Yu Ba had run away, the rest of the people spread out as well.

However, an unforeseen event occurred in an instant.

Although the fish ran away, Xiao Luo did not let go of the fishing rod. Thus, when the powerful underwater force suddenly dragged him down, the sect head, who was caught off guard, also rushed forward and fell into the lake.

"Master!"
