Chapter 393

Red Maple Lake, on the island in the middle of the lake.

Xia Yingying sat on a large rock and threw the fishing rod into the water with a "sou" sound. The ripples were clear and crystalline, and the fishing float trembled twice on the surface of the water. Then she impatiently raised the fishing rod and threw it into the water again. After repeating this a dozen times, Xia Yingying angrily stood up, picked up the empty fishing basket, and moved to another location.

At this time, a small boat was sailing towards the island in the middle of the lake. A boatman was rowing at the back of the boat, and a woman was standing at the bow of the boat. She wore a short robe with narrow sleeves and a leather belt around her waist. A short sword was hung on the leather belt, and she wore a pair of black sheepskin boots. She stood steadily on the deck, and within her graceful beauty, there was a valiant and heroic air.

From afar, the woman standing at the bow of the boat saw Yingying, who was fishing like a horse. The woman faintly smiled and pointed in the direction of Yingying. She turned her head and said a few words, and the boatman ferried the boat in the direction of Yingying.

"Hm?"

Yingying didn't catch a single fish, and was feeling unhappy. Suddenly seeing the boat coming, she couldn't help but become angry. She thought that it was some blind brother from the same family who came to talk noisily. Just as she was about to scold the other party for scaring away her fish, she suddenly saw the woman standing at the bow of the boat. She couldn't help but jump up in joy, "Second Sister! Second Sister! "

Yingying threw the fishing rod away and waved her arm at Zhan Ning'er, and the fishing rod smoothly slid into the water. Seeing her childish actions, Zhan Ning'er couldn't help but sigh softly.

Originally, Yingying stole the love of her heart. Although she knew that it wasn't Yingying's fault, she still couldn't help but feel resentful. But now, seeing Yingying's innocent appearance, the resentment disappeared without a trace.

"It's probably a foolish person's fortune!"

Ning'er laughed bitterly to herself and suddenly jumped up.

The boatman standing at the stern felt the boat tilt up, as if the whole boat was about to capsize. He couldn't help but cry out in fear. At this time, Zhan Ning'er had already jumped up into the air, and the boat slapped back into the water with a "pa" sound, splashing a few waves.

Zhan Ning 'er was like a white crane spreading its wings in the air. Her body flipped forward, and when her head was above her feet, she grabbed the fishing rod that was floating on the surface of the water. Her body curled into a ball, and she leaped forward, landing firmly on the cliff.

"Ya! What beautiful skills! " Xia Yingying clapped her hands and laughed. She threw herself at Zhan Ning'er and cried, "Second Older Sister, you finally came to see me. I was locked up on this island, and I was so lonely … …"

Zhan Ning'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her crying and said, "Alright, alright. You're almost treated like a little ancestor. Isn't it just forbidding you from leaving Red Maple Lake? If I didn't understand you, I would have thought that you were being bullied."

Xia Yingying pouted her small mouth and said, "Isn't this called bullying? Second Older Sister isn't even helping me. "

Zhan Ning'er put the fishing rod to the side and lightly patted Yingying's back. She softly said, "Do you think I don't love you? Do you think I'm as free as you and don't need to do anything? Once I got your message, I immediately threw everything aside and rushed over to see you. "

Xia Yingying's tears turned into a smile and she said, "En! I knew it. Only Second Older Sister really loves me! "

Zhan Ning'er held her arm and walked down the rock to the lakeshore.

The lake water gently lapped against the lakeshore, making a soft sound of the tide. Some water birds perched on the lakeshore followed the two's figures and flew up. They landed behind them and lightly pecked at the two shallow lines of footprints they left behind.

"Why did you ask me to come here?"

Xia Yingying coquettishly said, "Did I miss you? Can't I call you if there's nothing? "

"Yes, yes, yes. You said it. Since there's nothing important, I'll accompany you to play for two days."

"Don't, I … … I have something to do!"

"Hahaha … …"

"You're playing with me again!"

"Aiya, smelly girl, you dare to pinch my butt!"

The two girls chased each other on the lakeshore. The water birds that had just landed on the lakeshore were startled and flew up again, circling and chirping … …

… …

On the lakeshore of the Lake of God, water birds circled and chirped.

The six Grand Elders and the two newly promoted Elders who had been sent in as replacements made up a total of eight people standing on the lakeside. Of the two newly promoted elders, the youngest one was almost sixty years old. The eight elders were still a group of old people.

Some people saw the eight Elders from afar. They all stopped and bowed respectfully. Then, they quietly retreated, not daring to disturb them. Sister Sun stood on the lakeshore with a small bag on her back. She was at a loss for what to do with this grand scene.

"Master, all … Elders, please go back … …" Sister Sun could be childish and willful in front of her kind grandmotherly Master. However, there were other Elders in front of her. She couldn't help but feel nervous.

Gedwa walked over and called Sister Sun's pet name. He said affectionately, "Duo Ni, we'll leave this great and glorious mission to you!"

Sister Sun was slightly embarrassed. What glorious and glorious mission? Seducing him and giving birth to his children? She was ashamed just thinking about it. However, these Elders were very solemn, as if this was really a great mission.

Maybe … …

Sister Sun remembered what Master Gachailao said to her last night. He said, "Girl, our Gu Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. We can't let anything bad happen to it. It's a big event!

Our Venerable is a man with good luck. Gema and Gögwo have different ideas. The Divine Sect is about to fall apart. At the critical moment, Venerable came into being. Isn't he the beloved of the Gu God?

Venerable has left the Divine Sect for 20 years. It's too long. We don't know if anything will happen during this period. We're all worried. Although you have to hide your identity and raise his children for him if you really follow him, it's not fair for you. But everything you've done is worth it. The Gu God will see everything you've done for the Divine Sect … "

"I'll definitely complete the mission at all costs!"

Sister Sun secretly clenched her fists to encourage herself.

Gachailao walked up tremblingly and said kindly, "Good girl, go now. Remember, you must do it at all costs … Ahem, if you can't complete the mission, I'll have to send someone else. Don't blame me for helping an outsider!"

Sister Taiyang's cheeks were flushed. She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously. With one step, she jumped onto the bamboo raft. The bamboo raft trembled and ripples appeared, just like her current state of mind …

…

A small boat broke through the surface of the lake and floated over.

Zhan Ning 'er looked back and said to Xia Yingying, "I wanted to stay with you for two more days. I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry. I'll leave now."

Xia Yingying said, "I also want to stay with my second sister for a few more days. But I'm worried that I haven't contacted him for a long time. There's no order from the ancestor in the Red Maple Lake, and no one is willing to help me send a letter. I have to invite my second sister to be my guest. Please do me this favor. When you come back, we'll have a good time together."

Zhan Ning 'er smiled and shook her head, "You're always so infatuated. Well, I'll be the matchmaker for you this time! I'm leaving! " She said it casually, but she felt sad in her heart. She was afraid that Yingying would notice something wrong. She hurriedly turned around and walked to the small boat that had just stopped by the lake.

Zhan Ning 'er just stepped on the bow of the boat and signaled her to sail. She turned around and smiled, "Go back. I won't let you down!"

"En!"

Yingying agreed and took two steps forward. The tip of her boots touched the lake water, "Second sister!"

Yingying suddenly called out again. She was full of affection, "Second sister, you can't steal what you're guarding!"

The boat started moving. Zhan Ning 'er's body swayed and she almost fell into the water.

Yingying saw that she didn't answer and couldn't help but worry, "Second sister, why don't you answer me? You're not really planning to do this, are you? Oh my god, then wouldn't I be letting a wolf into my house? "

On the water surface, Zhan Ning 'er's flustered and exasperated voice came, "Smelly girl! Am I that kind of person?! "

…

Magistrate Hua personally escorted Forester Wai to Tongren Province. Xu Boyi was temporarily acting as the county magistrate. At first, Ye Xiaotian was worried that Xu Boyi wouldn't be sensible and take the opportunity to make things difficult for him. However, he didn't expect that Xu Boyi seemed to have learned his lesson after suffering a big loss and didn't do anything to him.

Ye Xiaotian was careful for two days. Seeing that Xu Boyi had been behaving himself, he was relieved. He only did his duty every day and didn't look for trouble. After two days, Hua Yunfei sent someone to send news that the main building complex of the mansion had been completed and they could move in now. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Ye Xiaotian patiently waited until evening. When it was time to leave the court, he immediately rushed home and was anxious to tell the good news to his family. When Ye Xiaotian arrived at the door of his house, he heard Mao Wenzhi's rough and loud voice in the yard before he opened the door.

"You bastard, it's either this or that every day. You're always so anxious to find fault with me. Who are you pointing at and scolding at?"

Ye Xiaotian didn't know who Old Mao was arguing with. He hurriedly opened the yard door and saw Mao Wenzhi standing in the yard with his hands on his hips. He was facing the next door and said, "I was drying my underwear the other day and it was blown into your pigsty by the strong wind. You live on the street, can you help me pick it up? That little lady had just made it for me, but it was trampled into a rag by your fat pig. It really hurts me. Today, your chicken died from the plague and you're pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree. You're finished, you're finished. If your chicken died from the plague, it's my fault. Why didn't I kill you with the plague? "

Across the wall, someone was also cursing. But under Mao Wenzhi's loud voice, the other person's voice was almost inaudible.

Ye Xiaotian frowned and scolded, "We're all neighbors. Can't you talk nicely?"

When Mao Wenzhi heard Ye Xiaotian's voice, he immediately changed his tone, "I say, sister-in-law, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health! As the saying goes, a thousand taels of gold buys a house and ten thousand taels of gold buys a neighbor. It's fate that we can be neighbors. If I did something wrong, please forgive me … "
