Leng Tianyou was indeed unhappy and said, "You didn't even greet our grandmaster uncle, so why are you criticizing others?"

The other boys nodded in agreement, making the disciples following Yuan Pingwei blush.

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Qing Xuanzi quickly spoke up to Yuan Pingwei, saying, "We're going fishing, Elder, please go ahead."

After saying that, he called Leng Tianyou and the others, and then took Rong Jiaojiao to go fishing.

Yuan Pingwei was nauseous, but he couldn't do anything to Qing Xuanzi, so he could only snort and lead his men to fish nearby.

The Xuanqing Sect has a rule that one cannot use spiritual power or divine sense when fishing in Xuanqing Lake. Therefore, fishing here depends entirely on luck and patience, and no one can take advantage of anyone else.

Seeing Qing Xuanzi and the others start fishing, Yuan Yunfei felt even more resentful.

She took Yuan Pingwei's hand and said, "Grandma, we also want to catch big fish and show them what we're capable of."

Yuan Pingwei nodded and said, "Okay, today we'll see who catches the most fish and the biggest fish."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yunfei jumped up excitedly: "Great! I'm going to catch the biggest fish and beat that wild girl!"

Yuan Pingwei pulled her back: "Don't jump, or you'll scare the fish away."

Yuan Yunfei then restrained herself, but in her heart she was determined to beat Rong Jiaojiao.

She picked up her fishing rod, baited it, and cast the line into the lake.

Then, following the example of her great-grandmother, she sat by the lake and waited.

"Grandma, why haven't you taken the bait yet?" Yuan Yunfei said impatiently after a short while.

Yuan Pingwei shook his head and said, "Fishing requires patience; don't rush it."

Yuan Yunfei wouldn't listen and said, "I don't want to. I want to catch a big fish. Grandma, you catch a big fish for me."

Yuan Pingwei shook his head helplessly. He would indulge the child in other matters, but he would never do anything that violated the rules of the sect.

He said calmly, "Then you can wait patiently. Your great-grandfather doesn't have the ability to catch a big fish for you right away."

Seeing her ancestor's cold face, Yuan Yunfei dared not make a fuss anymore and sat there sulking with a pout.

Just then, cheers erupted from Qing Xuanzi's side.

"Brother Tianyou, Brother Tianxing, come quick! I can't pull it anymore!" The youngest, Leng Tianlang, shouted as he pulled on the fishing rod.

Leng Tianqi was closest to him, so he dropped his fishing rod and rushed over to help, while the others also gathered around to watch the commotion.

The seven apprentices gathered together, creating a noisy scene.

Leng Tianlang's face turned bright red. He gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, leaned back, and tried his best to pull the fish up.

The fishing rod was pulled so hard it bent into an arc, clearly indicating that the fish underwater was quite strong.

"Wow, this fish must be huge!" Leng Tianxing exclaimed excitedly.

Leng Tianyou also came over and said, "Let me help!"

He and Leng Tianqi gripped the fishing rod together, and the three of them worked together to slowly pull the rod up.

"What a huge fish!"

When the fish surfaced, everyone gasped in amazement.

It was a large fish, more than two feet long, with a silvery-white body that shimmered in the sunlight, its scales reflecting a dazzling light on the water's surface.

"Wow, this fish is huge!" Leng Tianhao jumped up excitedly.

"Tianlang, you're amazing!" Leng Tianyun couldn't help but praise him.

"Hehe, just lucky!"

Rong Jiaojiao followed beside them. Seeing that the big fish was still jumping around, she slapped it hard on the head. The fish thrashed twice and then stopped moving.

The brothers were stunned for a moment when they saw Rong Jiaojiao's actions, and then burst into laughter.

"Junior Uncle, that move of yours is amazing! You knocked him out with a single slap!" Leng Tianyou gave a thumbs up and said admiringly.

Leng Tianlang laughed and said, "Junior Uncle, did you often do this before?"

Rong Jiaojiao smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, I've never seen a live fish before."

Leng Tianqi said, "Junior Uncle, your trick is useful. We should learn it in the future so that we don't have to spend so much time and effort every time we catch a fish."

Haha~~

Qing Xuanzi watched this scene with a smile of satisfaction. Rong Jiaojiao had gradually integrated into the family and would only get better in the future.

"Alright, everyone, put the fish in their places first, then we'll continue fishing," Qing Xuanzi said.

"Okay!" the boys answered in unison, returning to their spots to continue enjoying the fun of fishing.

Not long after, Qing Xuanzi also caught a small fish, but he didn't keep it and threw it back into the lake.

Rong Jiaojiao couldn't sit still at all. She would run to Qing Xuanzi's side to look around, and then wander around her seven junior disciples. She would laugh like an idiot when others caught fish.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yunfei's situation has not improved.

She sat by the lake, her eyes fixed on the fishing rod, but the rod didn't move at all.

She became increasingly irritable, her lips pouting, and she complained every now and then.

Yuan Pingwei sat not far away, looking at Yuan Yunfei's appearance, feeling somewhat helpless.

He said softly, "Yunfei, don't rush, be patient, maybe the fish will take the bait soon."

Yuan Yunfei couldn't help but mutter, "I've waited so long, why can they all catch fish, but I can't catch a single one?"

Yuan Pingwei smiled and comforted him, "Fishing is all about luck and patience; everyone's luck is different. Maybe you'll catch a big fish in a little while."

Yuan Yunfei listened, and although she was still somewhat unconvinced, she nodded and continued to wait patiently.

Just then, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake's surface, and Yuan Yunfei's fishing rod twitched slightly. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Grandma, my fishing rod moved!"

Yuan Pingwei immediately sat up straight and said, "Don't rush, wait until the fish takes the bait before pulling it in."

Yuan Yunfei gripped the fishing rod tightly, her eyes fixed intently on the water. The fishing rod moved more and more vigorously, and her heart pounded faster.

Finally, the fishing rod dipped sharply, and Yuan Yunfei shouted excitedly, "It's on the hook!"

With a strong pull, she pulled a fish with silver scales and red markings out of the water.

Yuan Yunfei cheered excitedly: "Grandma, I caught a fish!"

Yuan Pingwei praised her sincerely: "Our Yunfei is amazing! You caught a rare red-striped spirit fish."

Yuan Yunfei excitedly held up the palm-sized fish and said, "Grandma, I caught a fish! That wild girl didn't catch one. I won!"

Yuan Pingwei nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, my Yunfei is still the best."

Hearing this, Yuan Yunfei became even more smug. She held the fish in her hand and kept glancing at Rong Jiaojiao, hoping to see an envious look in Rong Jiaojiao's eyes.

Sure enough, Rong Jiaojiao heard the noise and looked over there, but she didn't get any idea what Yuan Yunfei was thinking.

Seeing the small fish, she said disdainfully, "Master, why doesn't she release the small fish she caught?"

Qing Xuanzi glanced at it and said, "Her fish is a red-striped spirit fish. It doesn't grow very big, but its meat is extremely delicious. It's very rare."
