Chapter 131 Don't Rush About Anything

Shen Luo dropped the person off and left, instinctively feeling that this was not a good place.

Looking at their empty fish baskets, Cheng Mai had no idea what kind of fish they had caught.

Cheng Mai's disdain was obvious. Shang Xingjian told her to calm down, that fishing was a patience-building activity, and that she couldn't rush it, otherwise she wouldn't catch any fish.

Cheng Mai doesn't even want to name names directly, and he's not in a hurry, but I haven't seen you guys catch anything.

"The person you've been waiting for has appeared." Cheng Mai was basically certain that the person who was manipulating their system was Xuanji Shenjun, but she couldn't guess why Xuanji Shenjun would be working with Shangxing Jianzuo.

Looking at Cheng Ming and Qingfan Shenjun at this moment, Cheng Mai vaguely felt that she should be able to guess something, but those things were very blurry and she could not see them clearly.

"Don't rush. Waiting for someone is like fishing. You have to wait until they have a firm grip on the hook before you can reel them in," Shang Xingjian retorted confidently.

Cheng Ming gave Shang Xingjian a look of disgust, then decisively packed up his fishing rod and left, saying, "Be careful the fish isn't too big and might eat you."

Merchant Jian clicked his tongue and uttered a vicious word.

After Cheng Ming left, Cheng Mai watched him go and then looked away.

"Stop looking at him, his mouth is like a dead man and a living dead man." Saving all living beings? He'd rather be driven to death by anger.

Cheng Mai was furious when he saw Shang Xingjian. "What's in this fish that you had to fish for?"

“There’s a treasure.” Shang Xingjian replied, gesturing for her to sit down. “Don’t rush things. As long as I’m alive, the sky won’t fall.”

Cheng Mai remained silent, expressing his disdain.

"Shang Xingjian, aren't you afraid that one day things will really exceed your expectations? That things will really get out of control?" For example, what if transvestites really start fighting over territory, or what if the increasing number of demons poses a threat to the surrounding creatures? "You should hope things will exceed my expectations." Shang Xingjian rarely spoke to her seriously, but he didn't continue.

"If you don't say anything, how will anyone know what your prediction is?"

"Let me teach you a lesson: this world is just a giant makeshift operation. Many times, not predicting is the best prediction." Shang Xingjian reeled in his line again, still empty-handed. "Take fishing, for example. I predicted I would definitely catch something this time, but what happened? It got away."

Cheng Mai looked at the empty fishing rod with disdain. Where did it escape from? Didn't no fish bite in the first place?

Shang Xingjian noticed her disdain, raised her hand and turned back time in the water. Cheng Mai saw the fish take the bait and then saw the fish snatch the food away. Only after the fish left did Shang Xingjian lift the rod.

Therefore, Shang Xingjian knew that there was a fish at that time, and even knew when that fish left.

"Since you came to fish, why did you release it?"

"It's not the one I wanted, what's the point of keeping it?" Shang Xingjian put away the fishing rod. "Looks like today isn't a good day for fishing, I'll come back in a couple of days."

Cheng Mai really went to ask this time. It wasn't that Shang Xingjian liked to eat fish; he was looking for a fish, and this fish wasn't in some mysterious place, but right here in this vast lake.

A fish truly embodies the saying "great seclusion lies in the water."

"What kind of fish are you looking for? Has a certain deity transformed into a fish?" Cheng Mai couldn't help but ask, since their current mission was to find several deities.

“That fish ate something it shouldn’t have, we need to find it.” Shang Xingjian put the fishing rod on the car and looked back at Cheng Mai. “As long as Xuanji doesn’t want to come out, even I can’t find him. He’s never lost a game of hide-and-seek.”

Therefore, the current business is not in a hurry at all, because there is no use in being anxious.
