"..." Facing Xiao Qi's innocent eyes, Lin Chen was speechless. Is this girl going to be like this? She is not just a beautiful woman standing next to me, she is your mistress, okay! Besides,
What do you mean by not telling you, Master Xiran and the others?
If they heard this, they would think that I was hiding women outside behind their backs! "Little girl, you misunderstood, I am not your master's wife, I am your master's friend...well, his..."
Canglan wanted to explain, but halfway through, she didn't know what to say. She and Lin Chen were not friends, and she wasn't sure yet whether they were enemies.
I can't explain the relationship with Lin Chen at all.
"Hehe! I understand!"
Xiao Qi said with a smile.
Canglan was stunned, I can't even explain myself. What do you know?
This little girl obviously misunderstood, but no matter what she thought, it was her own business. Since she understood it, there was no need for her to continue to explain.
Normally, there may not be a chance for the two of them to meet again in the future.
"Master, can you stay here for a few more days and spend some time with Xiaoqi?"
Xiao Qi took Lin Chen's hand and shook it, saying pitifully.
"Then I'll stay here for a few days."
Lin Chen smiled.
Xiao Qi cheered. Under Zhou Heling's arrangement, someone quickly prepared accommodation for Lin Chen and Cang Lan. They were all next to Xiao Qi's residence. Xiao Qi happily took the two of them to their room.
At dusk.
The setting sun shines in the west.
In the palace of the Haotian Divine Realm, a man and two women were sitting by a huge artificial lake. The man was fishing leisurely. He looked like an ancient man living a relaxed and contented life in a paradise.
Two women, one large and one small, the younger one was sitting next to the man, while the older one was leaning against a boulder next to her, looking at the sparkling lake, not knowing what they were thinking.
These men and two women were Lin Chen, Xiao Qi and Cang Lan.
Since the purpose of staying here is to accompany Xiao Qi, Lin Chen will naturally not spend time on practicing and have nothing to do. He heard from Xiao Qi that there is a huge lake here, so he brought Xiao Qi here.
While fishing.
Lin Chen's father, Lin Mingyuan, made a living by raising fish in ponds when he was on Earth. When Lin Chen was young, he often fished in his own pond.
This behavior was influenced by Lin Mingyuan.
Today, Lin Mingyuan has become a monk, but in his spare time, he often fishes in the artificial lake in the Earth City Lord's Palace, and Lin Chen sometimes accompanies Lin Mingyuan.
"Master, why haven't the fish taken the bait? It's been almost half an hour."
Xiao Qi sat next to Lin Chen, leaning her head on his body, looking at the waveless lake in Gujing, and said a little discouraged.
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Silly girl, fishing requires patience. Before the fish takes the bait, your own heart becomes impetuous.
If the fish takes the bait, it's naturally good. If the fish doesn't, it doesn't matter.
Fishing is a process, not a result."
Just like the earth back then, countless modern people have enough food and clothing. It is a simple thing to want to eat fish. However, there are many people who go fishing in expensive ponds not to eat fish but to enjoy the process.
.
Another example is the Chinese "Tea Ceremony", the Buddhist "flower arrangement", etc., which many people think are cumbersome and inefficient, but they don't know that the important thing is not the result, but that the person involved is intoxicated in the process.
These are actually all ways of cultivating the mind.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the people on the Earth are not as good as the people on the Origin Continent, but in terms of cultivating the mind and character, Lin Chen feels that the people on Earth, especially the Chinese people, are better than the natives of the Origin Continent who only know how to pursue becoming stronger! Xiao Qi Wan
She wrinkled her delicate eyebrows, not quite understanding, but still nodded obediently.
"The fish is hooked."
Cang Lan said suddenly.
Xiao Qi was overjoyed. Sure enough, he saw the float on the lake being pulled into the water. He shouted in surprise: "It's hooked! Master, the fish is hooked!"
Lin Chen smiled, shook his arm, and a large fish nearly one meter long with blue scales was pulled out of the water and landed on the edge of the lake.
"Master, what a big fish!"
Xiao Qi was so happy that she stood up immediately.
A somewhat sharp voice sounded.
"Who are you and who asked you to fish here?"
The tone was condescending, causing Lin Chen and Cang Lan to frown and look at the person who spoke.
Then he saw a girl who seemed to be about the same size as Xiaoqi, walking over with several maids. Those maids were tall and thick, looked tougher than ordinary men, and their aura was very powerful.
‘To be able to walk freely in this palace and bring a group of maids with him, he should be a member of the royal Zhou family.
’ Lin Chen and Cang Lan immediately made a judgment on the girl’s identity.
"I'm talking to you, are you deaf? Who are you, and who allowed you to fish here?"
The girl was a bit domineering, and her pretty face looked a bit mean at the moment.
"Isn't fishing allowed here?"
Xiao Qi, who was originally in high spirits, felt a little weak when faced with the other party's questioning. She only knew that there was a lake here, but she really didn't know if fishing could be done here.
It was only then that she remembered that although the master had come, this was not the Lord's Mansion of Earth City after all.
Although Grandpa Zhou is very kind to me, this is not his home after all! It seems very impolite to go fishing in other people's homes without the owner's permission.
"Hmph! It's not like you can't fish. To put it simply, people with the surname Zhou can, but others can't! Is your surname Zhou?"
The girl sneered coldly. From her words, Lin Chen and Cang Lan confirmed that she was indeed a member of the royal Zhou family.
Xiao Qi shook his head.
"That's not possible!"
The girl sneered.
"Then I put the fish back?"
Xiao Qi said sarcastically.
The girl did not answer, but said to Xiao Qi: "Come here!"
Xiao Qi was a little confused and didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, but he still walked towards the other party.
Lin Chen stretched out his hand to hold her and asked the girl, "What do you want to do?"
"What to do?
You'll know when you come here! It's okay if you come here instead, come here quickly!"
The girl looked at Lin Chen and said in a commanding tone.
Lin Chen frowned and walked to the girl.
The girl's face darkened, and she slapped Lin Chen in the face! She cursed at the same time: "Remember! You are wrong in two places! The first point is that you did it without my permission.
Fish here; the second point is that you have to put the fish back without my permission! This slap will make you remember a little longer!"
