Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

It was named for its long and slender fishtail with golden patterns.

Its meat was delicious, and it was one of the delicacies from the Flowing Jade River.

The Phoenix-Tailed Carp swam upstream to spawn every year. Before the water rose in the summer, it would arrive at Yuci Lake, which was a million miles away from the border between the Southern Wasteland and the Central Continent.

Just as Mu Wan had said, the timing was off now.

This was not a joke.

Firstly, if they missed the time, the place where the eggs were laid might flood and countless fish eggs would be washed down and devoured by other fish in the flowing river.

Secondly, after a period of time, another kind of rather ferocious Black Kun Fish would also swim upstream to their birthplace to spawn.

The gentle Phoenix-Tailed Carp was food to the Black Kun Fish.

The entire school of Phoenix-Tailed Fish might be destroyed.

He turned around and saw a faint red fish under the water.

“Senior Brother, do you know why?” Mu Wan looked at Han Muye.

Han Muye shook his head.

If these were fish demons that had transformed, he could question them.

Unfortunately, he did not sense the existence of transformed demons with the school of fish.

Shao Datian cut half of the fish he caught into pieces and made soup with the other half.

The raw pieces were delivered to Han Muye and Mu Wan. The ones that were boiled into soup were brought to Cuicui.

Cuicui’s body was weak and could not withstand the wind.

At the bow of the ship, Han Muye and Mu Wan sat on the floor. There was peach blossom wine and fish slices on the wooden table in front of them.

Han Muye put a piece of fish into his mouth with difficulty.

Mu Wan looked at him and chuckled.

“It’s thin like a cicada’s wing, crystal clear, and fragrant. It’s indeed not bad.

“I think if Shao Datian goes to the Imperial City to open a restaurant that specializes in fish dishes, he will definitely be able to earn spiritual rocks.”

Hearing his words, Mu Wan laughed out loud. She also picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

She looked up and saw Han Muye looking at her. She couldn’t help but blush.

She put down her bamboo chopsticks, poured the peach blossom wine into a cup, and then picked it up.

Han Muye carefully took it, afraid that he would crush the cup.

This made Mu Wan cover her mouth and laugh again.

On the big ship in front, Jia Yang and Xiao Xi stood on the deck and looked back.

“If I didn’t know that Young Master Mu Ye’s identity was extraordinary, I would really think of him as an ordinary Confucian scholar.”

Xiao Chu turned his head and looked at the top of the ship behind him.

Over there, an old man in a black robe with a long sword hanging at his waist stood still with a solemn expression.

“Someone from the Fuchen Dao Sect really dares to come to the Xuanyang Guards’ headquarters?”

The combat strength of the general of the Mystic Sun Guards was extremely powerful, and the authority he wields was not small either. Moreover, with this status, he represented the dynasty.

Those who dared to intercept and kill the convicted officials escorted by the general were directly challenging the prestige of the dynasty.

Hearing his words, Jia Yang shook his head and said in a low voice, “Brother Xiao, you’ve only been in Dongnan for a short time. You don’t know the situation here.

“Even if the Fuchen Dao Sect doesn’t dare to rebel openly, they will create many disputes and hinder the governance of the dynasty.

“Can Daoism really be peaceful?”

Of course, Xiao Chu knew that the so-called peace and quiet were all fake.

Without resources and countless disciples with sufficient cultivation aptitude, which Daoist sect could establish a sect?

Weren’t resources and disciples fought for?

“Whoosh—”

In front of him, Phoenix-Tailed Carps jumped out of the water.

Many fishermen had started pulling nets and harpoons as they sailed through the water.

This year’s Phoenix-Tailed Carp run happened much later, which surprised the fishermen.

Their catch could mean more than half of the year’s harvest.

Now they finally saw the Phoenix-Tailed Carps.

The surface of the river churned, and at the bottom of the river, countless fish swam against the current.

In front of them, more and more sampans and fishing boats were waiting. The fishermen’s eyes were shining.

Jia Yang frowned.

Xiao Chu also had a solemn expression.

In such a situation, it would be difficult to guard against those with bad intentions if they were mingled with the fishermen.

“Go to the cabin. Don’t come out unless there’s something important,” the black-robed old man standing on the top of the cabin suddenly said.

Han Muye looked up.

The old man placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and stared at the countless sampan fishing boats in front of him.

“Does this lieutenant think that some people from the Fuchen Dao Sect will come in the guise of fishermen to kill us?” Han Muye put down his wine glass and asked softly.

Hearing his words, the black-robed old man looked down at Han Muye.

Han Muye shook his head.

“The Fuchen Dao Sect is a large Daoist sect that can dominate several counties in the Central Continent. They won’t be so despicable.

“If they really want to kill us, they’ll do it at the Guan Estuary.”

The black-robed old man frowned.

The Guan Estuary was a fork in the southeast of Liuyu River.

To the east, the river flowed into the sea.

To the south, it poured into Yuci Lake.

It was originally a place that the three parties did not care about. Now that Dongshan County was suppressing it, it could be considered the territory of the county.

However, Dongshan County was newly established and probably did not have the energy to manage the matters relating to the river waters.

The two big ships moved through the middle of the river. The fishermen on the small sampans consciously avoided the main path.

The closest ones were only 30 feet away from them.

But as Han Muye had said, no one attacked until they passed through the group of fishermen’s boats.

This made the old man standing on the roof of the cabin heave a sigh of relief.

If someone from among the fishermen really attacked, innocent people might die.

The Mystic Sun Guards were most unwilling to invite such a slaughter.

“Young Master is wise.

“I’m Zhang Yaohui, the lieutenant of the Mystic Sun Guards in Nanyuan County.” The old man cupped his hands at Han Muye.

He nodded.

Actually, when they boarded the ship previously, Jia Yang and the others had met this lieutenant and introduced Han Muye and Mu Wan.

At that time, Zhang Yaohui probably didn’t take everyone seriously.

With the crisis resolved, Zhang Yaohui returned to the cabin.

Mu Wan turned to look at Han Muye.
