Legend of Sword King

They walked on for another half day, through the flat woods, until it was dusk, and they came to a clearing in the woods. The clearing was a hundred feet wide, and there were traces of digging.    

    

The other side of the river was the end of the flat land. If he continued forward, he would enter the Sunset Clouds Mountain Range.    

    

"Rest here tonight. We'll enter the mountain early tomorrow morning." Wei Nian Ci ordered.    

    

Cheng Qing and Lin Xin walked a little further away because Lin Xin wanted to eat fish. Cheng Qing took a branch and made a fishing rod, dug earthworms in the damp area, took out a piece of clothing from his Cosmic Bag, took out a piece of string and tied the earthworm together with the thread, preparing to go fishing by the river.    

    

"How can you catch fish without a hook? If we put the earthworms down like this, we will be feeding the fish. " Lin Xin gave Cheng Qing a silly look, then took off the hairpin, bent the front end of the hairpin into a hook, tied it around the front of the thread, and stuck the earthworm on the hook before handing the fishing rod back to Cheng Qing.    

    

"Why not make another one? Let's fish together." Seeing that Lin Xin was in high spirits, Cheng Qing went to get another small tree trunk.    

    

When the two of them were at Funing Street, besides setting up the soup cake stand, Lin Xin also took up some needlework. Because the Long Wind Gang charged them protection fees every few days, although they earned quite a bit, their lives were also very difficult.    

    

She often told Cheng Qing that she wanted to go out to the city to fish. If she caught enough fish, she could make some fish soup to improve her life, but Cheng Qing knew that she was just enjoying the peace and relaxation of fishing.    

    

However, because they were too busy with various tasks, the two of them rarely went on a trip together. Due to their inexperience, the fish they caught weren't enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. They could only make a bowl of soup that barely tasted fish.    

    

The sun was setting in the west and the river was sparkling. The two of them were sitting side by side on the riverbank, fishing. Although they didn't say anything, they were at ease as well.    

    

Cheng Qing would occasionally glance at Lin Xin, and she would turn her head and smile back at him. That smile was so clear, even more transparent than a river. Even the golden sunlight melted into her dimples.    

    

This was a very harmonious and beautiful scene, but there was always someone who didn't understand what was going on.    

    

With a "Putong" sound, a stream of sword Qi shot into the river, causing the spring water to rise up a few feet into the air. When the spring water fell, the water became calm again, and a few fat and tender fish floated on the river surface.    

    

Following that, several streams of sword Qis entered the river, and from time to time, a dozen or so fish would float up. Following which, a thin net that was clearly a magical equipment would be thrown onto the river, fishing up those fish.    

    

A member of the Wei clan walked towards Lin Xin with a proud expression on his face, holding a thin net filled with fish in his hands.    

    

He first glanced at Cheng Qing with disdain, as if he was an idiot. He was clearly a cultivator, yet he was even fishing with a fishing rod.    

    

"Miss Lin, I am Wei Yuanqiao, the son of the Wei Family's Patriarch … "I've just caught quite a few fish. To be honest, Miss Lin, my cooking skills are excellent. If Miss Lin is interested, why don't you join me for a meal?" Wei Yuanqiao courteously invited. His demeanor was calm and confident.    

    

Of course he was confident. He was the direct descendant of the Wei family, and he admitted that his status was much higher than Chen Qing's. In terms of wealth and looks, he was not someone Cheng Qing could compare to.
