Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

"Yes, Master."

Li Nian nodded.

At this moment, the woman in tight-fitting clothes suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a moment, Junior Brother Li, please go out for a moment."

"Okay, senior sister."

Li Nian knew the woman had something to say to Liu Qinyun. Seeing that Liu Qinyun didn't stop her, he tactfully left the house alone.

inside the house.

"Godmother, is Li Nian's word truly credible?"

"The people from Haoran Martial Arts School are despicable. If they deliberately try to lure you out of the city, wouldn't that be dangerous!"

The woman said with a worried expression.

The woman's name was Xia Qingwei, she was eighteen years old, Liu Qinyun's goddaughter and closed-door disciple.

"Human hearts are unpredictable. Although Li Nian cannot be completely trusted, Ge Yue desperately needs this fish, so it is worth taking the risk."

"Besides, in the entire Thousand Lakes County, if it weren't for those three experts at the Transformation Realm joining forces, they wouldn't have been able to stop me if I wanted to escape!"

"If Li Nian dares to lie to me, I will tear his body apart, dismember him, and drink his blood dry!"

Liu Qinyun's face was contorted with rage.

The terrifying killing intent emanating from his body made Xia Qingwei tremble involuntarily.

She does not kill innocent people.

But kill those who harmed her.

They will use the most cruel methods!

It was precisely because of her kindness that she failed to eradicate the threat at its root, leading to the tragic death of her loved ones.

From then on, she forced herself to become vicious, cruel, ruthless, and vengeful—

She-devil!

After saying that, Liu Qinyun walked out of the house and left with Li Nian.

The fastest way to get from the south of the city to Repulse Bay is by water.

If you travel by land, you need to go through the east side of the city.

The eastern part of the city is the territory of Haoran Martial Arts School, which is in opposition to Qinyun Martial Arts School, where Liu Qinyun works. Walking over there in a swaggering manner would inevitably cause unnecessary conflicts.

"Can you row a boat?"

Liu Qinyun boarded a three-person awning boat.

A red flag with the words "Capturing Clouds" embroidered on it was planted on the boat.

It is a ship belonging to the Qinyun Martial Arts School.

The area south of the city is under the jurisdiction of the Qinyun Martial Arts School, which owns a number of ships.

"Master, I am a fisherman and I know how to row a boat."

"Let's go to your hiding place for fish."

Li Nian boarded the boat, picked up a small wooden oar and tucked it under his arm. He then used both feet to push off the long oar, and the awning boat slowly sailed towards the shallow bay.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the boat arrived at Repulse Bay.

Li Nian picked up a bamboo pole and broke the ice, navigating the boat to a more stable spot on the ice.

"Please, Master."

Li Nian spoke respectfully to Liu Yunqin.

Liu Yunqin looked around but couldn't detect any martial arts practitioners' aura, so he nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a light touch of her feet, her body gently landed on the ice like a feather blown by the wind.

The whole process took only a moment.

"Lightness skill!"

Seeing this, Li Nian's eyes lit up.

No man can resist the allure of swiftness and agility.

He was the same!

"Where are the fish?"

Liu Qinyun looked at Li Nian with indifferent eyes.

Li Nian got off the boat and went straight to the spot where the fish were hidden.

He paid attention to the markers for the Azure Fish along the way, and they hadn't moved, indicating that the Azure Fish was still there.

"Master, this is the blue water fish I caught."

Li Nian dug through the snow, took out the jade fish inside, and respectfully placed it in front of Liu Qinyun.

"Its scales are emerald green like jade, and its blood and energy are rich; it truly is a fish from emerald waters!"

"Judging by its growth, it is a top-quality blue-water fish that is over ten years old!"

"Heaven has helped me capture the Yunwu Martial Arts School! Ge Yue's injuries can be healed!"

Looking at the blue-green fish before him, Liu Qinyun was overjoyed and burst into laughter.

The laughter, imbued with inner force, caused the snow on the surrounding trees to fall with a whooshing sound, and the frozen lake surface to crack with a series of pops.

Li Nian was closest to Liu Qinyun, and the shock made her head buzz and her eardrums ache terribly.

Liu Qinyun noticed that Li Nian was unwell, and only then did he belatedly realize that he had been too engrossed in the moment and had actually used his internal energy.

"The older the aquatic creatures are, the purer their blood and energy become."

"Ordinary jade fish are rare enough, but jade fish that are over ten years old are even rarer. In the past ten years, no one in Qianhu County has ever caught a jade fish of such age."

"Ten years ago, a ten-year-old jade fish was auctioned off to the Zhang family for one hundred taels of silver."

"Your bluewater fish is no worse than that one, and I won't lie to you. I'll buy it for one hundred taels of silver."

Liu Qinyun spoke up.

Gudong!

One hundred taels of silver!

Li Nian's Adam's apple bobbed as she swallowed hard.

He originally thought that this blue-water fish could only be sold for a few taels of silver, enough to cover the tuition fee for the martial arts school this month.

Unexpectedly, it's worth a hundred taels of silver!

The value of the treasure fish far exceeded his imagination.

At the same time, it also reflects the reality that scholars are poor while warriors are rich.

Martial artists from ordinary families can't afford the precious fish, so how can they compare to the children of wealthy families?

Comparing talent?

How many people in the world can outcompete capital based solely on talent?

How many of those celebrities on the rich list are truly self-made?

"Master has so much silver..."

"You don't need to say anything more. Although you are my disciple, I never deceive my disciples."

"If I say one hundred taels, then it's one hundred taels."

"If you say another word, I'll let you experience the exhilarating thrill of a cold bath!"

Just as Li Nian was about to speak, Liu Qinyun saw through her intentions and interrupted her.

Li Nian shrank back, not daring to say anything more.

It was freezing cold, and he wasn't a martial artist. If he went into the lake, he'd freeze into an ice sculpture.

Given Liu Qinyun's personality, he is absolutely capable of doing this!

"I'll take this fish back with me first, and I'll settle the payment with you when I go to the martial arts school tomorrow."

"I will lend you this boat for the time being."

"If you sell the treasure fish to your master, the people of Haoran Martial Arts School will find out soon. If you travel by land to the school, you will pass through Haoran Martial Arts School's territory. This boat can ensure your safety and also allow you to travel unimpeded by water to the south of the city."

"The martial arts school opens at Chenshi (7-9 AM), so don't be late."

After saying that, Liu Qinyun moved her feet, her eyes filled with embarrassment, and disappeared like a swallow from the lake shore.

I never imagined Li Nian could catch such a big blue-water fish; I only brought ten taels of silver with me...

"This master is wonderful!"

She is beautiful inside and out.

"Although it looks quite sinister..."

Looking in the direction Liu Qinyun left, Li Nian revealed a bright smile.

The intelligence from the system was indeed correct.

Liu Qinyun is indeed a person of righteousness.

Otherwise, he would never have paid such a high price for his Jade Fish.

They wouldn't even consider his safety, let alone lend him a covered boat.

With this ship, there's no need to pass through the east of the city, and we won't have to be watched by Tang Zhengxiong's spies anymore.

"It's still early, let's row to the south of the city to buy two quilts and some meat, and celebrate with my sister-in-law and niece tonight!"

After calming herself down, Li Nian boarded the awning boat.

He was in such a hurry to pick up the fish that he didn't have time to buy a quilt.

He still had about three taels of silver on him, enough to buy two decent cotton quilts and some food.

The jade fish sold for one hundred taels of silver. Although he hadn't received the money yet, according to Tongzi's information, Liu Qinyun would definitely not renege on the debt.

Shen Shi (3-5 PM).

Li Nian carried two brand-new cotton quilts she bought on the boat on her back, along with two jin of pork, several jin of fish and shrimp, and two strings of candied hawthorns in her hands. With a joyful expression on her face, she headed home.

Not far past the village entrance, Zhao Lijuan and Duoduo, who had been waiting at the door, hurried over with concern and joy.

Seeing this scene warmed Li Nian's heart.

"No matter how hard or tiring it is, it's all worth it!"
