In the empty place in the distance, the virtual glow fluctuated. An almost transparent, foot-long swimming fish appeared out of thin air, stirring up the moonlight. With a nimbly flick of its tail, it disappeared into the distance in an instant.
I could only see a faint moonlight-like glow undulating slightly in the distance, like ripples in a river.
Shadow fish!
But... it's too far away.
It was not a pity for Su Xing. The shallow water surrounding the Yuzhao area would have attracted a lot of shadow fish, and there were plenty of opportunities.
Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly felt something and looked back.
In the false light that fills the sky, a girl in a plain white moon skirt seems to be walking in the moonlight. Her eyebrows are delicate and picturesque, and her body is coated with light, making her look even more flawless, with only a slightly cold look on her face.
"Qiaozhi?" Su Xing turned around.
The fairy-like girl from the Moon Palace nodded, showing a smile that melted away all the coldness:
"I just happened to see you coming out of the mountain alone. Qiaozhi has been practicing for a long time and feels a little depressed. He was also curious, so he followed Brother Su out. Please don't take offense to Brother Su."
"How could that happen?" Brother Su smiled, "I am also very restless and want to come and see this shallow river area. Since Qiaozhi is here, we just want to go together."
"Just what I wanted." Han Qiaozhi chuckled and nodded.
So the two walked side by side and gradually explored the depths.
"Xi Xi is still practicing?" After walking for a while, Su Xing asked casually. Lin Xixi loved to join in the fun, if she was free. If Han Qiaozhi calls her to come with him, the other party will definitely agree happily.
"Yes." Sure enough, Han Qiaozhi nodded, turned to look into Su Xing's eyes, and said:
"Brother Su always thinks about Xixi."
Hearing this sentence, Su Xing felt a little awkward, but he didn't think much and answered casually:
"Haha, yes. Unknowingly, I seem to regard that girl as my sister."
Not counting the lives without memory, Su Xing was always an only son in his past and present lives. In my previous life, I always wanted my parents to have a younger sister, but unfortunately my parents did not have another child due to some reasons.
In this life, both parents died early, and a large family in this world is just a strange place to live, without any emotional concern.
Perhaps because of this, Lin Xixi always unconsciously wants to help when encountering some socially fearful people. Now that I think about it, maybe she already treats her as a younger sister.
He was a little emotional, but he didn't notice that Han Qiaozhi's eyes flashed brightly after hearing these words.
After pondering for a while, Han Qiaozhi frowned slightly. She, who was always bright and generous, hesitated for a rare moment.
Look at the open fields all around and the wavy hills above.
The moonlight shone down, and it seemed like there were only two of them in the world.
Staring at Su Xing's eyes that always seemed to hide a sense of mystery, Han Qiaozhi seemed to have made up her mind and asked seriously:
"Then what does Brother Su think of me?"
Su Xing was stunned for a moment, and turned around to see that the sky and the earth were empty, with the goddess beside him, and a sense of ambiguity quickly rose in his heart.
But looking at Han Qiaozhi's serious but still generous expression, I thought she was asking "What did you eat for lunch today?" rather than directly asking a man what he thought of girls of the same age.
If it were Lin Xixi, she would have blushed and wouldn't dare to look at anyone. Su Xing smiled inwardly, and the ambiguity in his heart was quickly diluted.
After the ambiguity faded, I realized that the other person was actually just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Perhaps it was just out of competitiveness rather than love between a man and a woman.
Thinking of this, Su Xing was ready to answer casually.
However, a group of people walked around the hillside in front of them and appeared in front of the two of them.
The leader seemed to recognize the two of them and shouted slightly excitedly:
"Qiaozhi! It's such a coincidence that we meet here."
The two people immediately raised their heads and looked forward. In the shallow river area, they had to stay vigilant, even if there were jade marks on their wrists, they could save their lives. But if you are forced out of Zhaoying River, you will never be able to enter again.
But after seeing the person clearly, Su Xing relaxed slightly. Among the people who came, the leader was Chen Ang.
Su Xing cupped his hands slightly, Chen Ang looked arrogant, but he also cupped his hands in return.
Han Qiaozhi, on the other hand, didn't know if it was because the question just now was interrupted by the appearance of Chen Ang and others. She looked at each other with a cold expression and did not show any courtesy.
However, Chen Ang didn't pay attention, and there was a little joy on the faces of the group. Su Xing looked around and quickly found the reason. A disciple behind Chen Ang was holding a long pole on his shoulder.
On the long pole, three or four agile shadow fish loomed, swinging, as if trying to escape. The gills are penetrated by a transparent soft tendon, stringing several spiritual fish together.
"Brother Chen, you have had a great harvest. How many shadow fish have you caught?" Su Xing had seen how agile and elusive the shadow fish were. I was a little curious for a moment.
Before Chen Ang could say anything, a disciple next to him had already rushed to speak:
"It's all thanks to Senior Brother Chen. We didn't get much at first. Once Senior Brother Chen took action, we quickly got a few spiritual fish."
"The thing in Senior Brother Chen's hand is really magical. It is much more efficient than normal 'blind hunting'."
Chen Ang smiled and said nothing, looking at Su Xing and Han Qiaozhi, enjoying the compliments of several people.
Everyone pieced together the whole story:
It turns out that Chen Ang was given a treasure by the elders in the peak, called "Yunguang Pearl", which was able to collect some of the light from the Quyu in the sky in Yuzhao District.
Although there are not many, the shadow fish are attracted to the vicinity by the light of the Yuzhao area, but they are unable to enter.
After Chen Ang collected the light of Quyu, he took it out in the shallow river area, just like throwing a bait, which occasionally attracted shadow fish to take the bait, and then the ambush monks collected the net.
Normally, the "blind fishing" method is used to catch the elusive shadow fish. That is, several monks used their methods to drive away the air from one direction, while several other monks set up nets to catch them.
In contrast, although the bait method still depends on luck and the probability is low, the efficiency is undoubtedly higher than blind fishing.
Therefore, these disciples are quite complimentary to Chen Ang now.
Su Xing felt that he had no quarrel with Chen Ang, so while listening, he casually got closer to observe the shadow fish.
Looking at Su Xing who seemed a little curious, Chen Ang's eyes moved and he looked at Han Qiaozhi, but said to Su Xing:
"You must also be looking for this shadow fish. Even if you are a disciple of the same batch of sects, why don't you join my temporary 'fishing team'? With Qiaozhi's inner sect's strength, we can catch the swimming fish." Efficiency will definitely grow.”
The faces of the people behind Chen Ang were a little unhappy. After all, one more person would mean less gain.
But when he heard the word inner door, his eyes suddenly changed. I have indeed heard that there is one inner sect disciple who is the only one among these disciples. Looking at the cold and immortal female cultivator in front of me, I guess it is this person.
Immediately everyone opened their mouths to invite:
"With Senior Sister's strength, we will definitely be even more powerful."
"Yes, why don't we come here, Senior Sister? We won't delay our practice, we will just take time to fish regularly, so we can have both."
However, Chen Ang just invited two people. At this time, everyone seemed to ignore the remaining person, Su Xing.
For some unknown reason, Chen Ang did not mention that Su Xing was at the top of the Xuan Kui list.
However, his eyes flashed. These two people were traveling together, and now only one of them was invited. Han Qiaozhi was afraid that she would consider friendship and not agree.
Therefore, he said to Su Xing, who was only looking at the fish with interest and seemingly indifferent to everyone in the field:
"Fellow Daoist Su, why don't you go with me? Don't worry. Although your level is quite low, as long as I am here, you will take care of your old friends."
Su Xing's eyes admiring the shadow fish were finally attracted to it.
