Chapter 423 Pretty Girl

There were many people on the beach, some were fishermen returning from the sea, and some were dressed like outsiders. Yang Zhenling's eyes shuttled through the crowd, as if looking for someone.

"There are quite a lot of people, it's lively!" Miaomiao said to Gu Zheng with a smile.

"Due to its isolation from the world, some of the fish produced in the waters near Wufeng Island are medicinal materials! Now that the 'Fish Harvest Festival' is approaching, some of the guests who have come to Wufeng Island will wait for the fishermen who have gone out to sea, wanting to pick some medicinal materials as soon as possible, and some, like Master Gu, want to pick the freshest ingredients from the fishermen to satisfy their appetite!" Yang Zhenling said.

"Friend Yang really knows my heart, haha!"

Gu Zheng smiled, walked to the middle of the fishermen, and began to carefully select the ingredients he needed.

The fish were very fresh, but their ingredients were only of inferior quality at best, which made Gu Zheng a little disappointed.

Although Yang Zhenling couldn't tell the grade of the ingredients, he could guess from Gu Zheng's face that Gu Zheng didn't find anything good.

"Otherwise, let's wait a little longer. My sister and several other Tianxin disciples are out fishing today. They will definitely catch some good things." Yang Zhenling said with a smile.

"So you are looking for your sister. No wonder you were looking for her when we first arrived at the beach. It's okay. It's best to have good ingredients. Even if there are no good ingredients, it doesn't matter. Just looking at the sea view under the sunset is enough to make people happy." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

When talking about his sister, Yang Zhenling looked very energetic. He smiled and said, "Master Gu, don't look down on my sister because she is young, but she is the cook of our Tianxin Sect! Some of the food for the elders and the master is also prepared by my sister."

Yang Zhenling paused, then scratched his head and smiled a little awkwardly: "Of course, my sister's cooking skills are naturally not comparable to those of Taoist Gu! After eating the delicious food made by Taoist Gu, I am convinced!"

"I didn't expect that Taoist Yang's sister is actually a cook! A cook who can cook for the elders and the master must have good cooking skills." Gu Zheng smiled and gave Yang Zhenling a thumbs up.

"Hehe."

Yang Zhenling smiled, but didn't say anything more, but looked at the sea more frequently.

Not long after, a larger fishing boat appeared in everyone's sight. There was a Tianxin Sect logo on the sail. When the busy people on the beach saw that the fishing boat was about to dock, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at the big boat excitedly.

"My sister and her friends are back!"

Yang Zhenling showed a happy smile on his face. He quickly walked forward a few steps, and then seemed to think of something, and his steps slowed down again. He turned around and looked at Gu Zheng embarrassedly: "Fellow Daoist Gu, please!"

"Haha! It's okay, we are all acquaintances. If you miss your sister, just go over there. Don't worry about these etiquettes." Gu Zheng laughed.

"Well, I haven't seen my sister for a while!" Yang Zhenling smiled awkwardly.

On the fishing boat, a beautiful girl was directing a group of big men to run around, and those big men were also very obedient. They did whatever the girl asked them to do, just like a little leader.

The pretty girl's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yang Zhenling's. It seemed that she was Yang Zhenling's sister.

"Little sister!"

Before they got close, Yang Zhenling shouted loudly. The busy girl turned around and saw someone standing not far away. She was a little surprised. She told the people beside her a few words and jumped off the boat directly.

"Brother, when did you come back?"

The girl's voice was very crisp, like a yellow warbler out of the valley.

"I just came back today!"

Yang Zhenling touched the girl's hair lovingly and then introduced her.

"Little sister, this is the head of the Emei Sect, Gu Zheng. I mentioned him to you before."

"Head of the Gu Sect?"

The girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Zheng again and again, then looked at Yang Zhenling and said: "Brother, is he the one who cooks the best food you said? He doesn't look very old!"

The girl looked at Gu Zheng again, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Little sister, Master Gu is a distinguished guest of Tianxin Sect, you are not allowed to be rude to Master Gu!"

Yang Zhenling scolded, turned to Gu Zheng and smiled bitterly, "My sister has been spoiled by me since she was a child. If she said something inappropriate, please forgive me, fellow Daoist Gu!"

"Nothing!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and looked at the girl from the Yang family who was sticking out her tongue at him.

"Age doesn't mean anything! You are also young, don't you manage a lot of people on the boat?" Gu Zheng joked.

"That's different. You are the master, managing the practitioners of a sect, just like the master of our Tianxin Sect. I have only a few people under me, all of whom are only at the entry level, just like ordinary people."

The girl from the Yang family smiled and seemed a little embarrassed.

"You are self-aware!" Yang Zhenling pinched her sister's face: "Okay, Master Gu came here to pick some ingredients. What did you get this time?"

"Except for the golden scale fish, there is everything. Master Gu can choose as much as you want!"

The girls of the Yang family led Gu Zheng and others onto the fishing boat. The people on the boat were unloading the cargo. When they saw Yang Zhenling and others coming, they all stood aside respectfully, as if they were ready for orders at any time. After all, these people only have entry-level cultivation, and their status in Tianxin Sect can only be regarded as outer disciples, while Yang Zhenling is already an inner disciple, or an elite disciple.

"You all should be busy with your own business. I'm just bringing the distinguished guests to pick some fish."

Yang Zhenling waved to everyone and told them to disperse.

"Master Gu, please pick the fish!"

In front of the fish cabin, the girl from the Yang family made a playful gesture of invitation.

There were other cultivators on the boat, and not all of them were just entry-level cultivators. The overall quality of the fish they caught was much better than that of ordinary fishermen! Gu Zheng could see at a glance that there were many ordinary-level fish mixed in among a large number of second-level sea fish.

“These fish live in deeper waters, so it’s not easy to catch them!”

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and pointed at the pile of fish: "This 'green cod' is pretty good!"

"Okay!"

Yang Zhenling responded and immediately put a green cod weighing four kilograms into the bucket beside him.

"Aren't you going to pick more?"

Yang Zhenling looked puzzled when he saw that Gu Zheng no longer had any plans for the next step.

"I didn't just pick something to take away. Why did I pick so many? The one I picked today is just for our dinner!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.

"Haha, great!"

When Yang Zhenling heard that Gu Zheng was actually choosing the ingredients for dinner, Yang Zhenling swallowed uncontrollably and made a loud noise after laughing.

"Brother, can we make a difference?"

The girl from the Yang family held her forehead with her hands and was speechless at Yang Zhenling's reaction.

"Little sister, you don't know how delicious the food cooked by Master Gu is! If you try it, I guarantee you won't laugh at me."

Yang Zhenling was confident and showed no shame at all.

"Did you catch any of these fish?" Meow Meow looked at the Yang family girl.

"I caught many of them! What's wrong?" the girl from the Yang family asked curiously.

"I want to know, how did you catch them?" Meowth asked again.

On the way here, Gu Zheng once told Miaomiao how cultivators fish in deeper seas. This made Miaomiao very curious as to how the Yang family girls caught these fish that live in deeper seas. . After all, Miaomiao could see that although the Yang family's sister was also a practitioner, she was only an entry-level practitioner. With her level of cultivation, she could not dive into deeper waters at all.

"Of course I have my own way!"

The girl from the Yang family smiled proudly, and then said seductively: "If you can ask Master Gu to make dried fish stewed with lotus root and eight-treasure rice for me, I can tell you my method!"

Miao Miao rolled her eyes at the Yang girl: "My husband is going to make fish for you tonight, and you still want to ask him to make other things. You are really greedy!"

"You're really afraid that your husband will be tired, and it's just a meal!" The girl from the Yang family said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's just a meal, as long as you prepare the ingredients!"

Although Gu Zheng was speaking to the girl of the Yang family, his eyes were looking at Miaomiao, and his smile contained a lot of praise.

Gu Zheng understood that Miaomiao could see the cultivation level of the Yang family girl, but while she was curious, she was not as straightforward as she said! This obviously means that I already understand some things, some things can be said, and some things cannot be said. If it were on the way here, Miaomiao would have said to the Yang girl while being curious: "How can you catch these fish with such a low cultivation level?"

"Great! I'm finally going to taste the dried fish, stewed lotus root and eight-treasure rice that my brother mentioned!"

The girl from the Yang family jumped up happily, then winked playfully at Gu Zheng: "Master Gu, don't let me down!"

"Little sister, just be at ease! I guarantee that you will never forget the delicious food made by the ancient Taoist friends!"

Yang Zhenling was also excited. In addition to cooking fish, Gu Zheng also made the eight-treasure rice and dried fish stewed with lotus root that he couldn't forget. It seemed like he was really going to have a feast today.

"Fellow ancient Taoist, you guys pick up the food here first, and I'll prepare the corresponding ingredients. I'll be back soon!" Yang Zhenling couldn't wait to say.

"Okay, just prepare the dried fish and candied fruits. As for other ingredients, I still have some here." Gu Zheng smiled.

"Okay!"

Yang Zhenling responded and left happily.

"Hey, can you tell me how you caught these fish?" Meow Meow urged.

"No problem, come with me!"

The Yang girl smiled sinisterly, then led Miao Miao and Gu Zheng into the cabin, pointing to a white diving suit hanging on the bulkhead.

"This is what allows me to dive into deep water!" The girl from the Yang family smiled slyly.

"hateful."

Miao Miao glared at the girl from the Yang family. She originally thought that the girl from the Yang family used her own means to sneak into the deep water, but she didn't expect that she relied on equipment.

"Beautiful little girl, how can I be so disgusting?"

The girl from the Yang family smiled at Miaomiao, and then said: "A powerful cultivator is assisted by fairy weapons. Little sister, I am just an entry-level cultivator. Without the help of fairy weapons, I can only rely on these equipments!"

"Little sister? Little sister is pretty much the same!"

Miaomiao made a face at the Yang girl, and stood behind Gu Zheng a little disappointed.

Gu Zheng smiled and reached out to rub Miaomiao's hair as a comfort.

"This set of equipment was given to me by my brother on my fifteenth birthday. It's been three years and it still looks like new!"

Gently stroking the diving suit, the girl from the Yang family had a happy smile on her face.

Seeing the relationship between the Yang brothers and sisters gave Gu Zheng a feeling of dependence on each other, which made Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Your family..."

"My parents died in the sea when we were very young, leaving only us, brother and sister."

"Actually, the head of the Tianxin Sect is not our uncle. He is just my grandfather's apprentice, and my grandfather is the third elder of the Tianxin Sect."

"My brother was also afraid that something would happen to me in the sea, so when he left Kirifaze Island for the first time to do business, he brought me this set of birthday gifts."

After a while, the girl from the Yang family came out of her memories.

"I'm really sorry that talking about these past events has affected your mood."

The Yang family girl looked at Gu Zheng and Miaomiao apologetically.

"It's okay. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you had such a life experience. No one can change what happened, so don't be too sad! It seems that the relationship between you and your brother is really good. It makes me a little envious, after all, I don’t have any brothers or sisters!”

Gu Zheng didn't know how to comfort the Yang family girl, so he could only change the topic by talking about his regrets.

"Fellow Taoist?"

Yang Zhenling's voice sounded on the deck. He had already bought some good-quality preserves and dried fish from the vendors on the shore.

"Let's go, my brother is back!"

The girl from the Yang family smiled, her previous sadness gone, and she ran out of the cabin happily.

Not staying on the ship for long, Gu Zheng and Miaomiao followed the Yang brothers and sisters to their home.

The home of the Yang brothers and sisters is no different from the homes of ordinary islanders. In the small yard, there are some dried fish hanging in the wind.

After inviting Gu Zheng and Miaomiao to come in and sit down, Yang Zhenling was busy pouring tea, while the Yang family girl went to the back room and took out a bag.

"Every time we go fishing, we, the main fishing forces, have the right to bring back a few fish we caught! Over time, we have these reserves."

The bag that the Yang girl took out was full of dried fish.

"I heard from my brother that the ancient leader came to Wufeng Island to collect some ingredients! If you like the things here, just take them."

The girl from the Yang family smiled, then looked at Gu Zheng and Miaomiao: "Okay, you guys drink tea first, and I'll go and clean up the fish."

After the Yang family girl left, Gu Zheng looked at the dried fish in the bag and said with emotion: "How can I just take it casually? These things are all obtained with sweat!"

Gu Zheng paused and looked at Yang Zhenling: "Fellow Daoist Yang, when I leave after dinner, I will exchange with you as many resources as I want."

In fact, if the dried fish brought out by the Yang family's sister were really purchased as resources, Gu Zheng would definitely not be able to acquire a few of them. After all, these dried fish were rarely attractive to him. However, Gu Zheng felt that Yang Zhenling was a good person, and the life experience of the two brothers and sisters was relatively pitiful. He had secretly decided in his heart that when he left, he would buy these dried fish at a high price.

"Fellow Taoist Gu is so unreasonable! You come to my house as a guest and you can take whatever you like as a gift from me. If you exchange it with resources, I will be really unhappy." Yang Zhenling said seriously.

"It's precisely because I don't see outsiders that I can't ask for your things in vain!"

Gu Zheng patted Yang Zhenling's shoulder, and then said: "Your sister is not young anymore. You won't let her always shuttle between the identity of the fisherman and the cook, right?"
