The setup was quick: parasols, outdoor chairs, fishing hooks and lines—and they started fishing immediately.
The people not far away dared not speak too loudly, for fear of disturbing the two of them.
But Ji Yingying waved at them and said, "You guys chat about your own things, don't pay attention to us."
The group could only awkwardly wave in response, their smiles looking particularly fake.
[Host, there's quite a bit of gossip surrounding these students, shall we include it?]
[Wow, you even used a serious word.] And it even included…why not just say: Do you want to eat melon?
So, are you going to eat melon seeds or not?
[Eat! I'm fishing right now, so I might as well eat one!]
Ji Yingying didn't look back but stared at the lake, and the students behind her became a little panicked.
Although it was a bit far away, I could still hear some sounds.
Do you want to take a look at the person and check if it matches the description?
No need, no need, I've remembered everything.
[Alright, the one on the left is the illegitimate son. He just doesn't know that his mother died after giving birth to him, and he's been raised by his uncle ever since. Moreover, he's wicked and always thinks his uncle favors his own son. He doesn't even have money to buy things and has to rely on himself. He hates his own uncle to death.]
What the hell?
He's always vying for favor with his cousin and wanting money from the family, not realizing his mother provided all the money for his education and living expenses. There's not much left now, and his uncle, wanting him to save money, doesn't dare give him much. He's just waiting for him to leave their home as soon as he finishes high school.
So, this uncle also realized his character was flawed?
[Yes, his uncle didn't intend to take advantage of it either, he just wanted him to leave quickly.]
[Will he retaliate? People with such despicable behavior are prone to revenge.]
[Yes, but his aunt is not someone to be trifled with. If he continues to bully others, it will only backfire and he will end up homeless. He's a well-educated man, but he doesn't understand propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. Who would dare to support such a person?]
So, does that mean his uncle's family are all good people?
[He's a good person; otherwise, how could I have raised him to adulthood and sent him to school? It's a pity he doesn't know how to appreciate it.]
[Okay! By the way, are there any melons from the future? I want to eat a melon from the future, not the past.]
[In the future... only one type of person can eat it: those who have no merit and are burdened with heavy sins. But, host, don't worry, maybe you'll be able to eat it after the next level up.]
[I remember the previous upgrade said it was edible, could you restrict that now?]
To be honest, she had already forgotten the content of the upgrade. She talked to Xiangxiang every day and looked at this page and the mall every day, and she felt that she was so familiar with it.
Um... should we find the updated page?
[No need, just tell me if any of these people can eat into the future.]
Yes, that person in the green robe and with the flower in their hair—they're definitely not going to be a good person.
[How do you say it? Unforgivable crimes?]
[Yes, that's right, the kind that will send you to the eighteen levels of hell.]
Big melon, who is this person? Ji Yingying turned around and took a sneak peek. He looked pretty good.
She is beautiful and has a spiritual spirit. How can such a person be considered an unforgivable evildoer?
[What a good-looking man! How could he be so evil?]
[He failed his exams, and then, believing the evil monk's claim that using the blood of young boys and girls to create an array would allow the God of Literature to descend to earth, enabling him to become the top scholar in the imperial examinations.]
[Are you crazy? You can say something like that?]
He believed it, then spent money to buy many young boys and girls, not only taking their blood but also turning them into human pigs. Moreover, after one such encounter, the women, after having their blood taken, were subjected to his abuse; it was utterly horrific. Later, when he realized he had no chance of passing the exam, he thought there was something wrong with the formation and then actually drank human blood.
"Hiss~" Ji Yingying felt a chill on her back and shivered... However, that was a matter of the future. If such a situation really happened in the future, I'm afraid it would be true.
[By the way, is that monk really a demon? ]
[Host, how can you be so naive? You actually believe it's a demon. This world isn't a world of metaphysics, much less a world of cultivating immortality. There aren't any demons or ghosts in this world. All that exists in this world is human hearts. Isn't human hearts more terrifying than demons?]
[Okay, you're right. If there's no demon, then there's no demon. I thought there was one. Now I can move on to the next unit and become a metaphysician or a cultivator.]
[You're overthinking it. However, he has a person of great merit by his side.]
[Is he next to that human pig? ]
[Human pig?]
Didn't you just say he turned people into pigs? Then call him Brother Pig. After all, a man like him doesn't deserve a name. Using "Xiao Shuai Xiao Mei" has tarnished his reputation.
[Yes, speaking of Xiao Shuai and Xiao Mei, I think of those three Xiao Shuai and Xiao Mei.]
Are you referring to the four people: the merchant, the young master, the healer, and the beautiful young woman?
"Yeah, haven't we always called them Xiao Shuai and Xiao Mei? These are code names. I remember the doctor's surname was Zhang."
"Yes, they should still be traveling now. That's great. Let's not talk about that anymore. What's the story behind that great meritorious person?"
[He was a lifelong philanthropist. After passing the civil service exam, he became your colleague, working together for the Emperor. He even donated his own money, nearly leading to the separation of his wife and children.]
[That's it. You can't even take care of your own family, but you want to take care of everyone else?]
[Haha, he almost did. His wife supported him in doing it, but she couldn't stand going hungry.]
[Tsk tsk…extremes, two extremes!]
Yes, what are your plans?
[We won't do much of this; these are all things of the future, they haven't happened yet, and what if they don't happen later?]
Okay, you're right. It might not happen in the future. We're just bystanders anyway. This is how the story is going to unfold, but people's hearts aren't fixed. Nobody knows if the roles will change in the future.
Yes, the future is undefined; only the past is defined. Something that hasn't yet occurred can be changed, while the past, having become a fact, can be altered and corrected.
The King of Qi nodded in agreement. Indeed, listening to the king's words was like reading for half a year...
Ji Yingying: ………
Suddenly the fishing rod moved, Ji Yingying immediately pulled the rod and reeled in a big fish.
"King Qi, I caught a big fish!" King Qi hadn't caught any fish yet, so he suddenly became interested: "Wait, I'll catch one for you right away."
"Okay, I'll wait." He continued to bait and fish.
[Hey, I'm so happy! I caught such a big fish on my first try! This lake is definitely a good place for me.]
[It must be prosperous, host, let's eat pickled fish tonight! ]
