After accompanying Linglong and Yu Sifeng to catch rabbits for a while, Xuanji turned around and saw that Zhong Minyan had disappeared, and she couldn’t help but wonder, “Uh, where is Brother Six?”
Linglong is a little girl who loves to have a pretty heart. She suddenly increase her favor with Yu Sifeng. No matter where Zhong Minyan is, she just chased after Yu Sifeng and watched him pull the slingshot and hit the rabbit. He looked really cool.
Xuanji asked twice, but no one answered her, and Linglong and Yu Sifeng were even discussing how to use the slingshot to shoot accurately. She had no choice but to look around, but from afar, she saw Zhong Minyan sitting with his elder brother in front of the spiritual spring, not knowing what they were talking about.
She was too lazy to shoot a rabbit, so she gave her slingshot to Linglong and ran over to join in the fun.
“Hey, why is Xuanji coming out? Aren’t you hunting anymore?” When Du Minxing saw her coming out of the woods, it was even stranger. Weren’t these four kids fine just now?
Xuanji sat beside him, picked up the last grilled fish, took a bite and hissed, “I…can’t fight and it’s not fun.”
Knowing her consistent virtue, Du Minxing smiled and said, “Eat slowly. If it is not enough, I will catch two more fish.”
Zhong Minyan had finished eating a fish, and was sulking. As soon as he heard about the fish, he rubbed his sleeves together and volunteered, “I’ll catch it!” He had nothing to distract himself.
As he said that, he jumped into the pond, and a series of big bubbles rose up on the surface of the water, but nothing happened for a long time.
Xuanji waited for a long time, but still nothing happened, so she hurriedly said, “Sixth Brother? Sixth Brother!” She called out a few times, but no one paid any attention to her, so she turned pale and grabbed Du Minxing’s clothes. “Why doesn’t he come out?”
Du Minxing touched her head and said, “Don’t worry, Minyan is a good swimmer, don’t worry.”
Xuanji stared at the center of the lake. She doesn’t know how long she waited, but he still couldn’t come out. Now even Du Minxing was a little worried. He was about to take off his coat and go into the water to look for him. Suddenly, he heard a splash on the water and saw Zhong Minyan’s dripping wet face grinning at them.
“I caught a fat fish!” He raised his arm high, and in his hand he was holding a fish that was about two feet long and quite fat.
Xuanji leaned in and said, “Sixth Brother, come up here, I’ll pull you up.”
Zhong Minyan’s hair and clothes were all wet, and large drops of water fell down his handsome figure. The sunlight was so dazzling that she couldn’t help but squint her eyes a little. He wiped his face, smiled at her and raised his hand to toss the fish at her feet.
“Catch it, little girl. The fish that brother caught for you,” he plunged back into the pool.
He plunged into the pond again with one swift movement and continued to catch the fish.
Xuanji was stunned and couldn’t say a word as he looked at the fat fish pounding under her feet.
Her face was scorching hot, burned by the sunlight. She gently and slowly touched her face, as if she had touched something prickly, and shrank back abruptly. Finally, she pursed her lips and tucked her hand back into her sleeve.
Du Minxing was roasting the fish, having removed the scales and guts, when he heard the sounds of a fight in the forest.
It was Linglong and Yu Sifeng who came back empty-handed.
“You won’t even let me! Just let me do it!” Linglong complained and walked over to Xuanji and sat down beside her.
Yu Sifeng frowned and said, “You don’t know anything. Why, let you do it?”
“Then you can teach me! You are fierce from beginning to end, I thought you were a good person!” Ling Long stared at him with a dreamy, disillusioned look on her face.
Yu Si-feng simply stopped talking. He really doesn’t know how to deal with this young lady and he has a headache with her. Just now, both Xuanji and Zhong Minyan disappeared in a flash, leaving him alone with the demoness, and he was so depressed.
When he turned around and saw Xuanji sitting there alone, dazed out over the fat fish roasting on the fire, he leaned over and asked her, “Why did you come back alone?”
Xuanji then regained consciousness and smiled, “I don’t know how to hunt and I’m too lazy to move. Didn’t you have fun with Linglong?”
He cursed, “Happy as a ghost…”
“I didn’t catch it, pheasant or rabbit, it’s a pity. Did you guys catch this fish?” He touched it quickly with his finger, skillfully turned it over and continued to bake it.
Xuanji nodded, “It was Sixth Brother who caught it, he said…”.
He said the fish was caught for her.
She suddenly felt quite happy and wanted to laugh, but she felt silly again.
“Why do you always call him “brother”?” Yu Sifeng took out the salt, crushed it and sprinkled it on the fish.
Xuanji was silent. Of course, she wanted to call him by his first name like Ling Long did, and even call him Little Six as a joke. But if she said it out loud, Zhong Minyan would lose his temper and ignore her.
She knows that Ling Long is different, everyone likes her. She is different.
“Where is Little Six?” Linglong was so angry that she finally remembered Zhong Minyan and looked around for a while.
“He was fishing in the pond. He was so angry that he came back.”
It was only then that Du Minxing finished eating his own fish slowly.
“What does he have to be angry about? I should be angry.” Ling Long gave Yu Sifeng a glance, got up and ran to the edge of the pool, and shouting, “Six! Little Six! Come on up!”
As soon as the voice fell, Zhong Minyan came out with two fishes. He looked up at her with a smile for a while, he said slowly, “You finally thought of me, what’s the matter?”
Linglong stomped her foot, “What nonsense are you talking about? Come on! The fish is almost burnt!”
Zhong Minyan threw the fish to Du MinXing, and as soon as he got a breath, he landed on the shore, dripping wet all over. He wiped his face and wrung off his clothes before sitting down to share the big fish with Yu Sifeng.
“Why did you run away just now without saying anything?” Linglong spreads his hair and tidies it with her hands.
When Zhong Minyan didn’t say anything, Linglong clapped her hands and laughed, “You must have guessed that we couldn’t hit the hare and the pheasant, so you came back to catch the fish, right? Little Six is smarter than ever!”
Zhong Minyan laughed, “Yes, the fish are caught because they want to serve you, my lady.”
He cut off a chunk of flesh from the belly of the fish and passed it into her bowl, saying, “I can’t help you, here. Eat while it’s hot!”
Ling Long smilingly grabbed his damp sleeve and shook it, “I knew Little Six was the best! The smartest and most thoughtful!”
When she laughed at him, Zhong Minyan was not angry at all.
Suddenly he saw Xuanji sitting there dumbly without moving, so he cut off the belly of the fish on the other side and handed it to her, “Hurry up, fool. The fish is cold, but it smells good.”
Xuanji managed to smile and whispered, “Thank you, Sixth Brother.”
Although there were no pheasants or rabbits, the fish caught by Zhong Minyan was enough for them to eat.
As they ate and laughed, they suddenly heard the sound of voices from behind them, as if someone was coming this way.
They all turned around and saw Chu Yinghong leading a few disciples from the Yu Yang Hall, followed by five or six men in blue robes and masks, laughing and joking at the same time.
“People say that the most beautiful place in Shouyang Mountain is Xiaoyang Peak. It is fortunate to see it now. It really deserves its reputation. It is really a beautiful place in the world.”
The man at the front said with a smile, although the speed of speaking is no different from ordinary people, the accent is very strange, a bit like Yu Sifeng.
Chu Yinghong smiled and said, “You are too kind, Palace Master. The Lize Palace stretches for several miles and is so majestic and magnificent that everyone is amazed.”
When she finished speaking, she looked up and saw several children in front of her, all giggling and staring at her with giddy eyes, all with greasy faces.
She was stunned and wondered, “Xuanji, Linglong, Minyan… why are you all here?”
Ling Long is the smartest of all and says, “We wanted to show Sifeng the scenery of Xiaoyang Peak. It’s his first time in the Shaoyang Sect, so of course we’ll do our best to help him.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man in the mask smiled and said, “Thank you all for your hospitality to the little guy, He is inexperienced and can’t speak well. Please don’t blame him for offending.”
The eyes of the crowd swept towards Yu Sifeng.
With a pale face, he slowly got up, walked over, bent his knees, and said in a deep voice, “Disciple, Yu Sifeng, is here to see my master.”

I hope he won’t have to be punished for losing the mask.
Thanks for translating.
