The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 5 The fish is coming!

At this moment, a thin layer of frost had formed on the surface of the lake in front of me.

The next moment, the fishing rod began to shake.

Zhou Qing reacted without time to care about the surprise in his heart. He hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod, spread his legs and squatted slightly.

His heart was pounding with excitement, but his expression was extremely focused.

He gently lifted the fishing rod, and the front end was pulled by the fishing line, bending into an exaggerated arc.

Then, he reeled in the line slowly and rhythmically, and suddenly felt a stronger chill and force coming from the water.

Zhou Qing didn't dare to be careless, because at this time the fishing rod was under huge pulling force and bent in mid-air like a big bow.

"Come fish!"

Zhou Qing shouted in his heart.

He exerted force suddenly, and with the sound of splashing water, a snow-white fish was pulled out of the lake, swinging its tail vigorously. Water droplets on its body fell, creating shallow ripples on the lake surface.

Looking at the fish struggling on the grass and the rapidly spreading frost, Zhou Qing couldn't believe that he had actually caught an Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish in this inconspicuous place.

While no one was paying attention, he quickly threw the fish into the fish basket and hid it.

Then he cast out the fishing rod again and pretended to lie down leisurely, but his mood could not calm down for a long time.

“It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s really coming this time!”

Zhou Qing took another sneaky glance to make sure he wasn't dazzled.

The Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish in the fish basket is as white as snow, as if carved from the purest ice crystals. The fish body has smooth lines, and the scales are closely arranged, sparkling with faint silver light.

Especially its broad and soft fins, as light as gauze.

"It's quite beautiful!"

Zhou Qing murmured to himself, feeling even happier.

At this time, several core disciples in the distance seemed to have noticed something and looked over here.

When they saw Zhou Qing's lazy look on the shore, they shook their heads helplessly, and then started fishing more attentively.

【Ignore point +1】

【Ignore point +1】

【Ignore point +1】

…………

The pleasant voice echoed in his ears, making Zhou Qing feel even happier.

As dusk approached, his fishing rod moved again, and with it the frozen lake.

Zhou Qing's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Is this where all my luck in this life is used up?"

After making sure that no one noticed him, he quickly pulled the fish out of the water using the same method as before.

As expected, it was another Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish.

"Is this a perfect fishing spot?"

He knocked the fish unconscious, put away his fishing rod and began to study his surroundings, but everything seemed quite ordinary.

Could it be that the innate skills reduce the sense of presence?

"Fourth brother, what are you looking at? I've been looking for you for a long time!" The voice of third senior brother Yan Xiaohu came from a distance. Beside him were two core disciples who were talking and laughing. It seemed that they had a good relationship with each other.

Zhou Qing immediately stood up straight and said with a smile, "Nothing, just taking a look. Third Brother, how are you fishing?"

Yan Xiaohu raised the empty fish basket in his hand with a gloomy look on his face and said, "This Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish is too difficult to catch. It depends purely on luck. The place you chose is not very good either. It's obvious that you don't have much fishing experience."

One of them said with a wry smile, "Even if we picked a good place, what good will it do? In the end, we still get nothing. Let's go, it's already started over there."

"I heard that Junior Sister Lu has prepared some small gifts for us. I'm quite looking forward to it. After all, no girl has given me a gift in all these years." Another person said with a smile.

Yan Xiaohu touched his stomach. After fishing all day, he was hungry.

Then the four of them walked towards the open space over there.

The bonfire was already burning brightly, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of barbecue.

Zhou Qing kept looking around like a thief.

To be honest, he really wanted to leave. After all, Lu Yaoyao had bad intentions towards him, and he was naive. What if he got into trouble by accident?

Looking at the long table and the delicious food and wine on it, he even started to imagine.

What if Lu Yaoyao suddenly stumbles and falls into his arms while toasting?
With so many senior brothers, almost all of them have higher cultivation than him, how could they not be jealous?
Or what if she pretends to be drunk and points at him and says nonsense?

For example, if she praises me for being handsome and charming, is that the type of person she likes?
Wouldn't this make him a target of public criticism?

However, he was invited here to fish and even caught two Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish. He just left so suddenly. Isn't that a bit heartless?

And if he leaves alone, others will think he is not sociable, or even say that he is guilty.

When he turned around and was about to ask his third senior brother for a decision, he found that he seemed more nervous than himself, even a little uneasy.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?" Zhou Qing asked doubtfully. Yan Xiaohu swallowed and shushed him. "You might not believe this, but I was fine just now. But now, for some reason, the closer I get to this bonfire, the more I feel a sense of foreboding."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but become nervous.

"Third Brother, don't scare me."

Yan Xiaohu thought for a moment and said seriously, "My sixth sense is sometimes quite accurate. Why don't we go for a walk? We didn't get anything this time anyway..."

But before Yan Xiaohu could finish his words, the originally tranquil surface of the lake beside him suddenly began to ripple, and then an invisible pressure suddenly descended.

The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's head, making everyone's breathing become heavy, the air seemed to freeze, and every breeze seemed to carry a heart-pounding chill.

Just as everyone was terrified, a figure slowly rose from the water.

She was an old woman with a hunched body and skin like dry bark, with crisscrossing wrinkles.

His eyes were cloudy and deep, his hair was disheveled and mixed with water plants and mud. He was wearing a tattered black robe that rustled in the wind.

In addition, in her right hand, she was holding a huge fish that looked like an ice sculpture, which was the Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish.

When Yan Xiaohu saw the old woman's appearance clearly, his face turned pale instantly, his throat churned, and he seemed to be retching.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!" The chief brothers of each peak and others immediately recognized the old woman's identity and hurriedly saluted and bowed.

The other disciples who reacted also hurriedly followed suit and saluted.

"Lower your head, lower your head, lower your head quickly, don't let her notice us!" Yan Xiaohu almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and pulled Zhou Qing to bend down quickly.

Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat and he immediately lowered his head.

This third brother's sixth sense is really accurate.

In fact, he didn't see anything that time. Yan Xiaohu said that as his senior brother, he would set an example for him first.

But unexpectedly, he froze as soon as he stuck his head out, and no matter how Zhou Qing called out to him, he refused to respond.

Just when he wanted to climb up out of curiosity, Yan Xiaohu fell down as if he had seen a ghost.

With his mouth full of dirt, he ran away trembling with Zhou Qing.

There is no need to talk about what happened afterwards. Almost everyone knows it. Even my own master jokes about it from time to time.

"Senior brother, what should we do now?" Zhou Qing asked quietly.

Yan Xiaohu bent down even lower and said, "Don't talk anymore. Be careful not to be discovered by her. Now we just hope she doesn't notice us."

At the same time, the old woman walked in the air, and with every step she took, a layer of ripples containing the great Dao appeared under her feet.

"I didn't expect that my divine power has reached such a peak this time. Although I tried my best to suppress it, I still destroyed the back mountain like this. However, this lake that appeared by accident complements the surrounding scenery. Not bad!"

The old woman spoke slowly, her voice echoing in everyone's mind.

Only then did everyone understand why the lake suddenly appeared.

"I heard from Xiao Cao that he recently accepted a new female apprentice. I think it must be you!" The old woman raised her foot lightly, and the next moment she appeared in front of Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao bowed respectfully again: "Junior Lu Yaoyao, greetings to the Grand Elder!"

The old woman looked Lu Yaoyao up and down, then nodded with satisfaction: "She has good aptitude and talent, and she is also beautiful. Xiao Cao has found a good disciple this time."

Lu Yaoyao quickly said, "Elder, you are too kind. To be able to join our Taiqing Sect is the blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes."

The old woman smiled and took the Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish in her right hand.

"You are a good and modest child. I left the retreat in a hurry, so some of my gifts are not suitable for you. I saw you were fishing, so this should be it. Unfortunately, there were originally three in the lake, but two are gone. This remaining one is a small gift for us."

Looking at the Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish that was handed to her, Lu Yaoyao felt grateful.

The others raised their heads cautiously. It turned out to be the Ice Soul Ghost Scale Fish. It was so big.

However, what did the Supreme Elder mean by what he said just now?

What does it mean that there were originally three, but now there is only one left?

Could it be that someone has already caught it?

who is it?

It's hidden so well that no one knows about it even now.

When Zhou Qing heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he even moved behind his third senior brother without leaving a trace.

"Don't move, don't move!" Yan Xiaohu warned quickly.

Zhou Qing immediately stood still.

Afterwards, the Supreme Elder looked around and his gaze paused on Yan Xiaohu intentionally or unintentionally.

Yan Xiaohu, who felt something, shuddered suddenly.

Unexpectedly, the old woman said, "Okay, I won't disturb you young people's leisure time. Have fun. When you are my age, you won't have the energy to play even if you want to."

The old woman's words were full of sighs and nostalgia, and then she walked away.

Everyone bowed and said, "Farewell, Grand Elder!"
