Chapter 206 It Really Doesn’t Matter
Shan Gao sent the fish back, causing a splash and then it sank into the pool.

The man and the beast sat in the Luan carriage, without even looking back, and went to find Ye Xingci with the fish in the car.

The old man with white hair and beard looked at the pond. He had not withdrawn his spiritual consciousness and was tracking the Luan carriage. Naturally, he heard what the man and the beast said. Even their expressions were clearly detected through his spiritual consciousness. He frowned and looked all the way. He saw that the two people were taken to the Zongwu Hall, where someone reported to them and asked to see Ye Xingci. He still did not withdraw his spiritual consciousness.

Jiang Lisheng always felt that someone was staring at her and Shan Gao, but she could only pretend to be unaware. She jumped off the Luan car holding the fish and looked at the magnificent Zongwu Hall.

Shan Gao was also holding a fish in his claws. He looked a little funny. The scales of the big fish were smooth and slippery. He held the fish tightly in his big claws, but he didn't dare to press too hard for fear of strangling the fish to death. He could only hold it in. He had cultivation and could feel more clearly than Jiang Lisheng. He knew that the man's spiritual consciousness had not been withdrawn. At most, he no longer had murderous intent, but he kept staring at it.

It could only try its best to keep steady, muttering softly, "Although this fish is delicious, it's not worth it to be almost killed by someone."

"It's good that you know." Jiang Lisheng glared at it deliberately, "Nonsense!"

Shan Gao kept silent. He also felt a little regretful for instigating Jiang Lisheng to go into the water. Otherwise, he would not have been noticed and now he is in trouble.

Ye Xingci was indeed in the clan affairs hall. When he heard someone report that Jiang Lisheng was coming, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up, dropped what he was doing, and went out to meet him.

When he came out, he saw the little girl and her pet, a human and a beast, each holding a big fish in their arms. The fish was almost being strangled to death by them. The fish's eyes were filled with fear, and its cheeks kept gasping for breath, looking like it was going to die in the next moment.

He walked forward suspiciously and asked in confusion: "Junior Sister Jiang, what are you doing..."

Jiang Lisheng called out "Senior Brother Ye" shyly, and then explained to him, "I went out for a walk today and walked to a mountain stream waterfall pool. It seemed to be on a mountain outside the martial arts arena. I saw a beautiful scenery and stopped for a while. I saw fish in the pool under the waterfall and couldn't help but want to grill it and eat it, so I went into the water to catch it. I came here specifically to ask Senior Brother Ye, this fish...can we grill it and eat it?"

Ye Xingci suddenly realized that the fish was almost taller than her. Her arms were thin and it was difficult for her to hold the fish, but she held it tightly and looked at him with her big clear eyes. Although she didn't show a look that showed she wanted to eat it, he knew in his heart that she must want to eat it very much to hold it with such effort for fear of letting it run away if she let go, so she ran to ask him.

He laughed, "It's edible."

Jiang Lisheng smiled, as if relieved, "As long as it's edible."

But soon, she stopped laughing and confirmed again, "Is it really edible? This fish looks ordinary to me. It can't be a very expensive fish, right?"

"Is it really edible? No, it's just an ordinary spirit fish that can be used to make spiritual food." Ye Xingci said.

Jiang Lisheng nodded and described it to him, "There is another fish with three tails, six legs, and four heads. Is it inedible?"

Ye Xingci was surprised, "Did you see the fish?"

"Yes, it was caught by a mountain goat. That fish is very difficult to catch." Jiang Lisheng did not hide anything and explained to him, "Brother Ye, you know, the mountain goat was brought out by me from the Bitter Mountain. It had a previous owner who taught it a lot of magic. It just used magic in the pond to catch the fish, but people thought it was up to something and it was nearly killed. It was scared to death, and I was also shocked, so I asked it to quickly release the fish."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingci glanced at the mountain fish and saw that it kept nodding at him with a scared look. He glanced behind the two of them and said in a gentle voice, "It's a carp, brought back from Dai Mountain by an uncle-master. This fish looks like a chicken with red feathers, three tails, four heads, and six legs. It sounds like a magpie, and eating it can relieve worries. Although this fish can be eaten, the uncle-master forbids disciples to eat it because it has another ability, which is to purify dirty air. Therefore, the uncle-master kept it in the spiritual water. There are three of them in total. The one you encountered might be one of them."

Jiang Lisheng suddenly realized, "Fortunately we put it back. No wonder someone wanted to kill Shan Gao. It turns out it is a treasure." She looked back carefully. There was nothing behind her, but she still lowered her voice, "Brother Ye, is the great-grandmaster you mentioned the one who was alarmed and wanted to kill Shan Gao just now?" Ye Xingci nodded, "It should be."

He paused, "But since you have sent the carp back, my uncle-master should not care about it anymore."

Jiang Lisheng still looked nervous, "Brother Ye, can you apologize to that great-grandmaster on my behalf? I was too ignorant, greedy, and loved to eat. Shan Gao was raised by me, and he is just like me. We almost got into trouble."

She said with lingering fear: "It was very scary, really. Shan Gao was almost killed at that time. He couldn't even breathe."

Ye Xingci nodded, "Okay, I'll tell Uncle Master Wen."

When Jiang Lisheng heard this, his eyes widened and he said in horror, "Is it that old ancestor of Taiyi who has lived for seven or eight thousand years, Uncle Master Wen?"

Ye Xingci nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Lisheng's face turned pale, and he immediately stuffed the big fish to Ye Xingci, "I, I still don't want to eat it. Brother Ye, can you help me return it?"

Judging from her expression, she is about to cry.

Ye Xingci caught the big fish without warning. He noticed that the spiritual consciousness that had been surrounding the man and the beast slowly dissipated at this moment. He softened his voice and said, "It's okay. Master Uncle Wen won't mind. Since he didn't kill you just now, he won't kill you again. This fish is indeed an ordinary spiritual fish and can be eaten. Just eat it."

Jiang Lisheng stepped back, "No, I won't eat it. I almost got into trouble again after coming out. I'd better go back to Yingke Peak and hide well! If my master finds out, he will scold me again."

Ye Xingci grabbed her and said, "Don't be afraid, it's really okay, you can eat it."

He looked gentle, "Didn't you just say you wanted to grill it? I'll take you to grill it. It's just an ordinary spirit fish. If you let the carp go, it won't count as causing trouble. Master Uncle Wen lived a long life and is actually very generous to the younger generation."

Jiang Lisheng hesitated, "Is it really okay?"

"Row."

Jiang Lisheng looked at the big fish, then looked at it again, with a struggle in his eyes. After a moment, his greed finally got the upper hand, "Well, well then!"

Ye Xingci smiled and let go of her, "Come with me, I'll take you to grill."

Jiang Lisheng nodded and followed Ye Xingci.

Shan Gao also hurried to follow, thinking that it was a pity for its master not to perform in the opera. She could sing so well without a stage. What was the point of practicing Taoism? She really should take it to the mortal world, build a stage, earn money, buy food, lots and lots of food.

Monthly ticket, huh?
