While the adults were talking, the children were engrossed in eating. By now, they had finished their meal, not only cleaning every drop of oil from the plate but also wiping away the oil from their fingers that had touched the duck meat.
Indeed, today's duck was even fatter than yesterday's chicken, and after stewing it, a lot of duck fat was rendered out.
Although this duck fat is greasy, it tastes really good.
The children, eating duck for the first time, were so reluctant to waste a single bit that they even ate all the oil off their fingers.
"Are you full? If not, there's more in the pot." Second Sister really cared about these children. Seeing them eating the oil on their fingers, she was worried that they hadn't eaten enough, so she immediately told them that there was more in the pot.
The children, who were still so eager to eat, did not overeat this time out of fear of not having enough to eat.
This time, all four of them shook their heads in unison, indicating that they were full and did not want any more rice.
"You four, are you really full?" The junior sister was quite surprised. These kids, they actually have times when they're full.
Ye Liang smiled, worried that the senior sisters' excessive concern might make the children uncomfortable. So he immediately turned to them and said, "Now that you've eaten, go back to your rooms and rest. Remember to wash your faces; they're all oily. Then, get some rest; you still have to go to the private school this afternoon."
The four nodded together, obedient to Ye Liang's words, and left the dining pavilion one after another to fetch water from the well to wash their faces.
"Those four children are becoming more and more sensible." Even the eldest sister, Qi Xue, who was usually cold and aloof, couldn't help but praise these children, saying they were much more sensible than when they first arrived.
Think back, when she first arrived, Ye Leng even stole Ye Le's food. How awful! She completely disregarded how pitiful it was for a little girl like Ye Le to often go hungry.
Now, however, they know that when they go to the well to fetch water, they fetch water for Ye Le first.
Because Ye Le is still too young, he can't crank the waterwheel.
"This is all thanks to Junior Brother's meticulous care for them." Senior Sister also said that it was all thanks to Ye Liang.
Ye Liang said, "They're so promising. Much more promising than I was when I was a child!"
Ye Liang genuinely felt that way.
I used to be a spoiled brat, and I probably disappointed my parents quite a bit.
Now I know I regret it, but I don't know when I'll be able to see my parents again and let them see how I've changed.
I deeply regret it.
After lunch, Han Feng and Song Yuxi helped their senior sister clean up the mess on the table.
The senior sister said, "Then this afternoon, there's only one thing to arrange, which is to arrange the initiation ceremony for the two junior sisters. Junior brother, when you send the children down the mountain to study, please take care of the matters with Junior Sister Wei and the three senior elders who pass on their skills. We senior sisters and Senior Han will handle the matters at the mountain gate. Don't forget."
"Yes, I understand, Senior Sister." Ye Liang smiled and readily agreed.
Then, my senior sisters urged me to go and rest.
The senior female students would never let Ye Liang, a man, do the dishes.
Ye Liang went to check on the child, and then turned back.
At this moment, the junior sister and junior sister Song Yuxi were also brought over by the senior sisters, and they were not allowed to help with housework.
Whenever the two girls had free time, they would come to find Ye Liang.
Actually, it was Song Yuxi who followed her junior sister Yang Ting to find Ye Liang.
They are almost the same age and were practically friends before becoming fellow students. Now that they are fellow students, they are even more inseparable.
Even if they come looking for Ye Liang, they won't disturb him.
The junior sister knew what Ye Liang was doing at the lotus pond, so she simply kept him company and watched him fish every day.
I wonder what Ye Liang will catch today.
The junior sister thought to herself that it would be best if she could catch some spirit pet food, just like yesterday, so that her little deer would have an endless supply of food.
That would be so much better.
With this expectation in her heart, as soon as she saw Ye Liang cast his line, she excitedly ran over with her deer and asked him anxiously, "Ye Liang, what did you catch today?"
"Let me see." Ye Liang examined them for a moment, then opened his palm to show his junior sister, saying, "I wasn't lucky today. I only caught two rings with not-so-good attributes. White Jade Ring. Damage reduction of 5. Not very useful. Even a small injury will take more than that much damage."
Just as he finished speaking, Ye Liang suddenly realized that such a ring was of no use.
A ring that reduces damage by 5 is too weak to be of much use to most people, but it can be very useful to some.
"Oh. Let me see." Hearing Ye Liang's words that his fishing luck wasn't good today, the junior sister felt disappointed for Ye Liang as well.
Then, she was so eager to check on the ring that Ye Liang had just fished up.
"What? Senior brother is fishing and he'll catch a ring? Shouldn't he be catching a fish?" Song Yuxi, who had just arrived at Bixian Sect today, couldn't understand the conversation between her junior sister and senior brother Ye Liang.
Ye Liang laughed and said, "You'll see later. When I fish, I can catch not only fish, but also other things, even scrolls of immortal techniques."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Song Yuxi felt even more incredulous. She really couldn't understand how one could fish in the river and catch not only fish but also other things.
"Is fishing only allowed here?" She thought the lotus pond currently used for fishing was somewhat magical.
