Soon, the two of them finished unpacking their items. They walked out from the awning again.

Suddenly, two figures appeared, flying above Li Nianfan. Li Nianfan was slightly startled.

The cultivators were actively flying around. He was envious of them.

He stared for a while then he took out his fishing rod. He said in an excited tone, “The swamp in the backyard is lousy. Now it’s finally my time to shine.”

He had great fishing skills but he had not fished in a long while. Li Nianfan was itching to fish again.

He sat at the side of the raft and raised his arm. The fishing line was thrown in the air with a graceful curve. Then, it landed in the water. Daji sat next to him. They looked like they were in a landscape painting.

After a while, a fisherman boat came toward them.

“Mr. Li, it is you.” Li Nianfan heard a surprised voice coming from the fisherman boat.

He looked over and smiled. “Yo, fishmonger?”

The fishmonger said, “I thought you looked familiar from afar. Who knew it’s really you, Mr. Li. I didn’t know you were so skillful at rowing.”

“Fishmonger, are you here to lake drift with your family?” asked Li Nianfan.

There was a woman who wore simple clothing standing next to the fishmonger. She had tanned skin—a classic fishmonger girl. A little girl who was about four years old peeked out behind the fishmonger. She was stealing glances at Li Nianfan.

“Stop joking, Mr. Li. We don’t have time to lake drift. We’re here to fish. Trying to make a living here.” The fishmonger pulled the little girl out. “Little Fish, say hi to Brother Li.”

Little Fish was a tad shy. She quietly said, “Brother Li.”

Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. “Little Fish, what a cute name.”

“Mr. Li, that bucket over there, is it full of fish?” asked the fishmonger curiously. He looked inside the bucket and realized that there was surprisingly a lot of fish inside it.

Li Nianfan nodded. “Yeah, I fished for a while just now. It’s a decent catch.”

The fishmonger looked at Li Nianfan with a complicated facial expression. He could not help but press on his heart.

“You caught so many fishes in such a short while. It’s more effective than my fishnet. And look at the quality! Every fish is huge. Look at how beautiful that koi fish’s scales are!” admired the fishmonger.

“It’s just good luck,” Li Nianfan said. Instantly, he heard a splash.

The fishing line jumped.

He pulled on the fishing rod and a big yellow fish jumped out from the water’s surface.

The fishmonger was excited. “Big fish! That’s a big fish!”

The little girl was even more excited. “Daddy, that looks like a saddled bichir!”

The fish was strong. Li Nianfan did not forcefully fight against it. He casually let the fish swim around while having a conversation. “Fishmonger, you told me that the Clear Moon Lake has a lot of fishes. It is indeed so.”

“…”

If everyone could fish as he did, what was the use for fishmongers?

Soon, the big yellow fish was fished up by Li Nianfan. It weighed at least four kilograms. The fish was strange-looking. Its yellow skin had black stripes on it, just like tiger stripes.

Li Nianfan held the saddled bichir and tossed it. It landed on the boat of the fishmonger.

“Mr. Li, you…” The fishmonger looked surprised.

“This is my meeting gift for Little Fish.” Li Nianfan smiled and looked at Little Fish. “Little Fish, do you like it?”

He noticed that Little Fish was a big fan of the saddled bichir. She clearly liked it.

As expected, Little Fish nodded continuously. “Yeah, yeah, I like it. Thank you, Brother Li.”

“This kid.” The fishmonger shook his head and thanked him, “Thanks, Mr. Li. My kid loves eating this fish. Sigh, I can’t help it.”

Li Nianfan said, “It’s a good thing to like something.”

Suddenly, multiple figures flew by above them.

The fishmonger said, “Not sure what’s going on at the Clear Moon Lake recently. There have been more cultivators than fishes around.”

Li Nianfan slightly raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “Is it only a recent thing?”

“Yeah, I’m not sure what’s happening. Mr. Li, it’s getting late, I think I should go back now. There might be demons at this lake.” The fishmonger was as cautious as a burnt child who dreaded fire.

Li Nianfan said, “We plan to stay for a while.”

“Mr. Li, it’s getting dark soon. I think you should leave while it’s early,” warned the fishmonger. Then, he rowed his boat away and said, “We’ll be leaving now, goodbye.”

Li Nianfan watched as the fisherman’s boat drifted away. He frowned and thought to himself, ‘There won’t really be demons, right?’

Maybe they should go back early?

He looked up at the sky and saw a few more figures flying by. The cultivators were heading towards the depths of the Clear Moon Lake. He suddenly grew more worried.

Two figures were flying by in the air.

It was an old man and a young lady.

“Dad, is it true that the remains of the Immortal appeared in the Clear Moon Lake?”

The old man groaned and said, “I don’t think that it’s just rumored. I did some research and found out from an old book that the Eastside ocean had an Immortal island before. The Clear Moon Lake is connected to the Eastside ocean, so it’s possible that Immortal Relics were spotted here.”

The young lady said excitedly, “It’d be awesome if it was true!”

“Don’t be too optimistic. Even though it’s an Immortal Relic, it must be dangerous. There are a lot of cultivators this time. I’m not sure how many of them would survive.”

The old man looked worried. “I heard that they found the fourth relic. The relics keep appearing too fast.”

The young lady said, “We should try our luck. We can retreat if it’s too dangerous.”

“Haha, I thought the same, too. Remember to keep that attitude in mind and we shall outlive the others,” smiled the old man while he nodded.

The two of them flew by. The young lady suddenly stopped—her eyes wide. She looked like she was in disbelief.

She exclaimed, “Huh? Look over there, is that the expert?”

“No way, the expert is at Azure Ville.”

The old man shook his head and simply took a glance. He was baffled on the spot. He said in a surprising tone, “It really is the expert! The expert came back so fast.”

The young lady asked, “Are we still going to search for the Immortal Relics?”

“Nah, it’s a blessing to run into the expert. We should greet him. It’s what’s important!”

The old man did not think twice. He immediately descended from the sky with the young lady. “Be cautious of how you act, don’t offend the expert.”

The young lady said, “Don’t worry, I met the expert before you did.”

Li Nianfan put his fishing rod aside. He decided not to risk his puny life in the end. He wanted to go back.

Suddenly, he saw two figures approaching him.

Li Nianfan looked at the figures weirdly. They landed in front of him and saluted, “Mr. Li, long time no see.”
