Chapter 1389: Fishing Never Requires a Bent Hook

't a single person who could give Xiang Tianhu a sense of security.After discussing everything, Xiang Tianhu rose to his feet and took his leave. Ouyang Wudi instructed the steward to see Xiang Tianh...Three people were fishing with their heads bowed on a smooth, jade-like large reef.

Below is an endless ocean with waves crashing against massive rocks. The giant waves come one after another, crashing onto these huge reefs and bringing the smell of seawater that constantly hits your face. The air is filled with the scent of nature's raw beauty.

White clouds drift across the vast sky, while below, raging waves crash and sparkle with light. Standing in this breathtaking landscape of water and sky, one can't help but be mesmerized.

At this moment, an old man with his head bowed in concentration was fishing on the rocks. He seemed utterly absorbed, patiently awaiting a fish to bite, his eyes fixed straight ahead, giving off an air of a hermit detached from worldly affairs.

But his eyes would sneak glances to the side, and a faint smile played on his lips.

On his left hand side, there were two young men and women huddled together. The clothes these young people wore were very old-fashioned, just like children from a farm in the mountains of ten thousand.

And they had a big straw hat on their head, it was obvious they were peasants.

"Lao Lan, do we really need to be this close"

Ye Fan couldn't help but be a little lost in thought as he smelled the intoxicating fragrance emanating from Longnu nearby.

Until he arrived on this deserted island, he didn't realize that Lan Hai Kun had actually wanted them to pretend to be a married couple in order to ease Miao Bingxin's concerns.

To get close to Miao Bingxin smoothly, neither Ye Fan nor the Dragon Girl would take this as a big deal. What puzzled Ye Fan was, even if they were husband and wife, why did they have to sit so close

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Longnu, who was close to Ye Fan, also felt a slight difference. Her expression became quite unnatural, which was a kind of shyness unique to girls. And this feeling was something she had never experienced before, so for a while, Longnu couldn't help but feel at a loss.

Lan Hai Kun looked at all this, but a smile appeared in his heart, thinking to himself, "This time they won't be able to get along."

Lan Hai Kun pretended to frown and said, "No way, you guys look too friendly. People can see through your act at a glance. Earlier, I told Miao Bingxin that I have two cousins from the countryside who are also fishing experts. I even said I'd bring them out to fish together sometime."

Lan Hai Kun was a master liar, his fabrications were so convincing that one couldn't tell the truth from fiction.

Ye Fan's mouth was wide open, his nephew and niece

What on earth are you talking about Do I look that old

However, Ye Fan didn't take Lan Hai Kun's words to heart. While this was a good opportunity to get closer to the Dragon Girl and ease the tension, if Ye Fan took advantage of the situation to make any inappropriate advances towards the Dragon Girl, or even touched her without permission, it would be like courting death.

Besides, with the mission being top priority and time so short, Ye Fan didn't have any time to think about these things.

Ye Fan and they had been fishing here for half a day, not to mention Miao Bingxin, even besides them, there wasn't even a single fisherman.

Ye Fan couldn't help but wonder, "With this strong wind and waves, could you actually catch fish here"

"Blue Elder, seeing your fishing posture like this, you must be a fishing expert."

Sitting here is really boring. While waiting for Miao Bingxin to bite, Ye Fan chatted with Lan Haikunhai in a desultory manner.

Lan Hai Kun chuckled with a profound smile, saying, “There was once a provincial fishing competition held in Guangdong Province. Incompetently speaking, I even won the championship.”

Speaking of Lanhai Kun's glorious history, his eyes lit up involuntarily.

Ye Fan was speechless. Was the organizer of this fishing competition, with its emphasis on dramatic gestures, just bored

Lan Hai Kun continued to talk about his glorious history, talking endlessly: "That time was a feast for the entire fishing world. The small port province gathered top anglers from all over the country."

Lan Hai Kun's old habit had struck again. As he spoke of those glorious past years, his excitement was palpable. He wouldn't stop talking, leaving Ye Fan with ringing ears and Long Nu furrowing her brow in slight annoyance.

Ye Fan really didn't want to interrupt Lan Hai Kun's statement, but he couldn't stand it anymore. Just as Ye Fan was about to forcefully interrupt, he saw Lan Hai Kun's expression suddenly dim. He said softly: "But that was already thirty years ago. Now at most it can only be counted as second."

Ye Fan almost fell, the champion from thirty years ago dared to bring it up.

Although out of humanitarianism, Ye Fan decided not to attack Lan Hai Kun after all. Ye Fan said, “Why can only be ranked second”

This Lan Hai Kun is really bold to boast. Ye Fan and the others have been sitting here for ages, and none of them have caught even half a fish, yet he claims how amazing he was back in the day.

"It's not because Miao Bingxin came and snatched the first place, so I could only settle for second," Lan Haikun said helplessly.

Ye Fan was speechless.

But Lan Hai Kun's dim eyes suddenly brightened. He said with unshakeable conviction, "However, one day, I believe my champion title will be taken back."

Seeing his clear eyes, for a moment Ye Fan almost thought that Lan Hai Kun's words would come true.

"So, how many fish did you manage to reel in here altogether" Ye Fan changed the subject.

"None at all." Lan Hai Kun replied very crisply.

"What" Ye Fan turned his head to look at Lan Haikun in astonishment. He found that the latter's expression hadn't changed at all, as if his emotions hadn't fluctuated in the slightest. This indicated that he wasn't lying.

"How long have you been fishing here" Ye Fan asked again.

Since this Lan Hai Kun won the championship in the big competition, he must have some skills.

"Thirty years." Lan Haikun said again calmly.

This time, Ye Fan was truly speechless.

For thirty years, I've fished here and haven't caught a single fish. Ye Fan started to admire Lan Hai Kun, wondering how he did it. He really wanted to ask him, how did he achieve this, and how did he become the champion

Lan Hai Kun seemed to see the confusion in Ye Fan's heart and chuckled, "Young man, don't be surprised. This place is called Absolute Fish Island, so there are almost no fish here."

"Ye was too lazy to pay attention to this Lan Hai Kun. Yes, he admitted, the waves were big and the current was strong here. Not many people would come to a place like this, but there couldn't possibly be absolutely none of them, right"

Moreover, he has been fishing here for thirty years! Even if he only fishes for half an hour a day, over thirty years, that's seven months of time without eating or drinking.

"Young man, I've always fished without bait," Lan Hai Kun still smiled enigmatically.

Ye Fan just smirked, no need for bait, who is he trying to fool

"And, I'm using a straight hook," Lan Hai Kun still wore that unshakeable smile.

Damn it.

Ye Fan really couldn't listen anymore, this Lan Haikun was getting more and more outlandish. He thought he was Jiang Ziya and used a straight hookemember what he did. Anyway, Ye Fan, adhering to the principle of being frank and accepting punishment, took full responsibility, acting like someone who knew their mistakes and wanted to change."Mur...
