Everyone was dumbfounded.
Yu Qiuyu didn't have any expression on his face, but he really wanted to run away right now.
Coincidentally, as soon as Yan Li put down the bait, a fish took the bait immediately. Therefore, he caught a live fish as a qualification to stand here.
This was akin to a commoner taking a fish as a gift to attend the Emperor's banquet.
Xia Wanli's eyes flickered and he said, "Your Highness, look. This person is clearly treating you as a fool. Please allow me to capture him and hand him over to Your Highness!"
Wang Yan laughed in a hoarse voice, "His Highness hasn't even spoken yet. You're making the eunuch anxious instead of the emperor."
"No one will think that you're a mute even if you don't speak!" Xia Wanli raged.
Ji Wuyi didn't seem to buy it. She raised her brows and coldly said, "Opportunistic and not worthy of praise."
Xia Wanli rejoiced in his heart.
"But I always keep my word. You can just watch from the side." Ji Wuyi snorted and unwillingly announced her final decision.
"Your Highness!" Xia Wanli became anxious.
Ji Wuyi's gaze shifted and she asked, "What method do you have to catch the fish?"
Xia Wanli was speechless. He had just made things difficult for Ji Wuyi, but he didn't expect that Ji Wuyi would get away with it. He couldn't possibly use Ji Wuyi's method to convince the princess, right? Not to mention that he didn't have a fishing rod with him.
Who knew that Lu Zonglin wouldn't be tactful and whispered in his ear, "Young Sect Master, do you want me to buy a fishing rod?"
His voice might be soft, but everyone's hearing wasn't bad. They all burst into laughter when they heard it.
Xia Wanli felt that he had lost face, not to mention that he was in front of his sweetheart. He turned around and slapped Lu Zonglin's face as he roared, "Get lost! Who wants a fishing rod?! "
Lu Zonglin was filled with grievances as he slowly retreated.
Xia Wanli had been cultivating the sword since he was young. He was good at killing fish, but he had always thought that catching fish was something that only lowly fishermen could do. He thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a way. He could only grit his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I can't think of a way. I'll take my leave first."
He turned around and left. His action seemed cool and unrestrained, but in fact, there was an element of pique in it. He had thought that Ji Wuyi would not embarrass him too much on account of the time they had cultivated together. Unfortunately, he had overestimated himself. Ji Wuyi had no intention of asking him to stay.
In fact, the fact that she didn't clap her hands in delight was already giving him enough face.
Just like that, he walked out of the small forest. His anger rose again, and he turned around to slap Lu Zonglin again. "You piece of trash, can't you grow some brains?"
Lu Zonglin could only accept it, not daring to make a sound.
Xia Wanli quickly regained control of his emotions and strode forward.
"Young Sect Master, where are we going now …" Lu Zonglin followed closely and asked cautiously.
Xia Wanli's face was as gloomy as water. He suddenly stopped walking.
Lu Zonglin thought he was going to hit him again, so he hurriedly closed his eyes and waited for the slap. Unexpectedly, there was no movement. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xia Wanli holding Yan Li's arrest warrant with a thoughtful look on his face.
He suddenly shouted excitedly, "Young Sect Master, that guy is a pervert. Why don't we go back and expose him in front of Her Royal Highness?"
Xia Wanli shook his head slowly and said, "No."
"Why?" Lu Zonglin asked in astonishment.
"With Her Royal Highness's temper, if I go back now, I'll be asking for humiliation." Xia Wanli gradually calmed down. "That will only make her look down on me more and more. You go and find out what is the background of this Yan Li and why he is traveling with Yu Qiuyu. "
"Young Sect Master is wise!" Lu Zonglin flattered him a little and immediately went to do it.
…
Yan Li sat aside and watched.
Of course, he could have just walked away, but he was very curious about what these people were planning to do by gathering here.
With Ji Wuyi as the center, they spread out. The six people each stood in a position, close to the lake shore, facing the lake, and closing their eyes slightly. They looked very much like ignorant mountain people who were praying to the river god for rain.
Of course, they were not ignorant mountain people, and soon there was a movement.
First, the lake water in front of Ji Wuyi floated up and gradually condensed into a structural manifestation. Finally, it formed the outline of a cold-looking man holding a knife, showing his exquisite control of True Qi.
Then it was Liu Xiangxiu's turn. The same thing happened, but the final manifestation was a big square seal. The big seal formed by the lake water seemed to be a little interesting.
Then it was Long Liquan's turn. The manifestation he controlled was much more powerful, and it was a strange and fierce monster.
Then it was Wang Yan's turn. The manifestation he controlled was a weapon in the shape of a person. It was hard to tell what kind of weapon it was, but it was very clear that it was a weapon.
Then it was Ju Yingshu's turn. He also controlled a person. This person was holding a book, and it was impressively his own appearance.
Then it was Yu Qiuyu's turn. His manifestation was the simplest, and it was just a simple sword.
This was a popular method among the disciples of the major forces and aristocratic families to verify their cultivation. It was called 'finger observation', which meant that one could observe the cultivation of oneself and others within a very short range.
Just the scene in front of them alone was enough to make countless people willing to buy tickets to watch it, even if it cost them most of their savings.
The most intuitive aspect of finger observation was the control of True Qi.
Judging from these people's manifestations, the one who had the strongest control of True Qi was undoubtedly Ji Wuyi.
Her manifestation was the most complicated, and she could vividly restore the cold appearance. It was like the difference between an ordinary painter and a master painter. The painter's painting was stiff, and it was obvious that it was a dead object at first glance. However, the master painter could paint it as if it was alive.
Of course, the 'Cave Spirit Scripture' was also good at control. Every cultivation method had its own special advantages. If it was determined that Ji Wuyi was the strongest, then Yu Qiuyu's sword was simply insignificant. That was because the shape of the sword was too simple, and it was straightforward. Everyone knew that Yu Qiuyu's sword could not be the weakest.
"I'm going to start now!"
Ji Wuyi opened her eyes, and her hand moved slightly. The manifestation in front of her immediately moved, and it actually made a gesture of unsheathing a sword. The sword slashed out a wave of air, and it went straight for Yu Qiuyu's sword.
These small movements showed a cultivator's control of True Qi and their understanding of moves, which explained his so-called cultivation.
However, Yu Qiuyu did not even open his eyes. His manifestation suddenly slashed out, and this slash produced five waves of air. It was not only a counterattack against Ji Wuyi, but it also seemed like it wanted to beat everyone else to the ground.
