344: Chapter 344 Will I be unable to catch fish?

"Lin Ming of Yuanxu Mountain? Master Yun Hua's Disciple!"

Clan Head Wei Tuo's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice.

"That's right."

Wei Zhaoxue nodded.

When she first saw Lin Ming, she thought she had seen wrongly.

She hadn't seen Lin Ming in person before; she had only seen his portrait in the Sect and heard of his deeds.

But after repeated confirmation, she found that she hadn't been mistaken; this person was indeed Lin Ming.

However, even if this person wasn't Lin Ming, she would still have stepped in to help.

"The Nirvana Ancestor's Disciple... that's a worthy match for my daughter."

Madam Wei nodded.

If he was the Nirvana Ancestor's Disciple, then he was indeed a worthy match for her Xue'er.

"Why would a Disciple of Master Yun Hua appear in Dongchao City?"

Clan Head Wei Tuo, however, fell into deep thought.

If it were in the past, he might not have paid much attention.

But things were different now; the conflict between the Righteous and Demonic paths was intense, and these were extraordinary times.

The sudden appearance of Master Yun Hua's Disciple in Dongchao City at this time inevitably made him overthink things.

"Father, do you mean the next battlefield for the Righteous and Demonic paths will be Dongchao City?"

Wei Zhaokun seemed to understand his father's meaning and immediately spoke up.

"Not necessarily."

Clan Head Wei Tuo shook his head.

Perhaps it could also be the Sea Race.

Regardless of the other party's purpose, they needed to make some preparations.

"That fellow Young Master Liu is quite bold, actually daring to cause trouble for Lin Ming."

After learning Lin Ming's identity, Wei Zhaoyue couldn't help but remark.

Truly worthy of being Dongchao City's famous profligate, daring to provoke even someone from Yuanxu Mountain—and the Nirvana Ancestor's Disciple at that.

"Young Master Liu probably doesn't know Lin Ming's identity,"

Wei Zhaokun said.

Based on his understanding of Young Master Liu, the man was indeed a profligate, but he also had a bit of a brain; he knew whom he could offend and whom he couldn't.

If Young Master Liu knew Lin Ming's identity, even with a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare offend Lin Ming.

"Sister, if you ask me, you shouldn't have stepped forward; you should've let Lin Ming be taken away,"

Wei Zhaoyue said at this moment.

She now felt they shouldn't have interfered, letting Lin Ming and the Liu Family clash; it would have been interesting once Lin Ming's identity was exposed.

"Regardless of whether Sister stepped forward or not, the grudge between Lin Ming and the Liu Family has already been formed,"

Wei Zhaokun said.

"Sister was able to show her face to Lin Ming, which is beneficial and harmless."

Regardless of whether Wei Zhaoxue stepped forward, the grudge between Lin Ming and Young Master Liu was already established.

In his view, it wasn't a bad thing for his sister to make an appearance before Lin Ming.

"Indeed."

Clan Head Wei Tuo looked at his son with a slightly approving gaze.

Being able to establish a connection with this person was a good thing after all.

"Xue'er, try to have more contact with him during this time and strive to win him over,"

Madam Wei said.

Lin Ming's status was a perfect match for her daughter.

If her daughter could win Lin Ming over, it would be a huge boon for both herself and the Wei Family.

"Mother..."

Wei Zhaoxue looked at her mother with a face full of helplessness.

She did indeed have the intention of befriending Lin Ming.

But as for becoming Dao Companions or anything like that, Wei Zhaoxue had no such thoughts.

"Zhaoxue, Mother believes that with your beauty, there will be no problem,"

Madam Wei said confidently.

To this, Wei Zhaoxue could only shake her head helplessly.

...

"The Wei Family, very well."

Liu Family.

Young Master Liu looked dissatisfied.

Standing before him was Shen Ze alone.

Shen Ze and his group had only put on a show of being taken away; they were released as soon as they were near the City Guard.

"Wei Zhaoxue."

A trace of wariness appeared on Young Master Liu's face.

He truly couldn't afford to provoke Wei Zhaoxue.

"Find someone to investigate his identity,"

Young Master Liu said.

"Yes."

Shen Ze nodded.

He knew it was because of Wei Zhaoxue that Young Master Liu suspected something was wrong with Lin Ming's identity.

But once it was cleared up that Lin Ming had no special background and was inferior to Young Master Liu, he would still take action against the man.

After all, Young Master Liu was famously narrow-minded.

"Second Brother."

A young man walked in at this moment and spoke to Young Master Liu.

"Third Young Master."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Shen Ze greeted him with a respectful look.

However, Liu Cen completely ignored Shen Ze, treating him as if he were air.

Seeing his younger brother, Young Master Liu's expression also calmed down.

"Second Brother, Father already knows about your business. Father hopes you will behave yourself during this time,"

Liu Cen said.

"Understood,"

Young Master Liu said coldly.

"Second Brother, let Second Mother and Father have some peace of mind,"

Liu Cen continued.

"You're overstepping your bounds,"

Young Master Liu said.

"Then I won't disturb Second Brother any further."

Seeing this, Liu Cen turned and left.

"What's with the act? Do you really think you can take the position of Family Head?"

As Liu Cen disappeared from his sight, Young Master Liu said with a look of disgust.

"You leave as well."

Young Master Liu glanced at Shen Ze and said.

"Yes."

Shen Ze immediately turned and left.

"Behave?"

...

Dongchao City.

Ten miles away,

lay the great sea.

Ships were anchored near the shore.

The rich resources in the sea drew many forces and cultivators to search for resources overseas; furthermore, many islands overseas were inhabited by humans.

However, most of these humans were under the protection of certain Sea Races.

Lin Ming, on the other hand, had specifically chartered a boat to go fishing at sea.

The crew on the boat found this a bit strange.

But strange as it was, they didn't say anything; after all, why not take such an easy way to earn money?

Lin Ming held a fishing rod in his hand, and on the hook was bait he had meticulously developed.

Although this was his first time fishing at sea, he was still very confident.

This time, he would surely return with a full load.

Half an hour passed.

The fishing rod didn't move.

Lin Ming sat on the edge of the boat, unmoving.

Not a single fish had taken the bait.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong.

There must be too few fish here.

"Sail further out for me, to a place where there are plenty of fish,"

Lin Ming immediately said to the Boatman.

There was definitely nothing wrong with his technique; it must be that there were too few fish here.

To this, the Boatman cheerfully sailed the boat further out.

However, even so, Lin Ming still had zero harvest—forget about fish.

He hadn't even seen the shadow of a fish.

Two hours.

Two hours had passed.

This made Lin Ming start to lose his cool.

One must know that this fishing rod was a sixth-grade High Grade Origin Weapon he had personally refined, and the fishing line was made from the silk of an Ice-Transforming Silkworm.

Not to mention the bait, which was fish food he had specially prepared.

In the end, not a single fish had taken the bait.

"Boatman, are there even any fish here?"

Lin Ming asked the Boatman again.

"This sea area is home to many Spirit Fish,"

the Boatman said with a smile.

As soon as he spoke,

several Spirit Fish leapt out from beneath the sea surface.
