Upon hearing that, Yang Chen imdiately turned his head and saw ng Yao slowly walking over, supporting Old Master ng. He quickly reeled in his fishing rod and stopped fishing.
Of course, he couldn’t just directly go up to them, as that would be too obvious.
After a brief mont of thought, Yang Chen pretended to chat with Xiao Yuqi, waiting for the arrival of Old Master ng...
At this mont, ng Qiyuan’s gaze was fixed on Yang Chen. After sizing him up for a mont, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said to ng Yao beside him, "This young man is quite sothing, dignified and not a person to be underestimated!"
"Grandpa, is it that in your eyes, any young person who can fish is not an average person?"
ng Yao’s eyes were filled with helplessness. Ever since her grandfather retired, he had fallen deeply in love with fishing.
At first, he simply enjoyed casual fishing, but after unintentionally joining a fishing competition circle, it beca an unstoppable obsession.
Because ng Qiyuan was very poor at it, he often lost money. Over the years, he’s lost at least over a million.
Even after losing so much, ng Qiyuan showed no signs of giving up. He constantly sought out fishing experts to learn from, vowing to win back his losses.
Now seeing Yang Chen’s impressive fishing skills, he couldn’t help but want to seek so advice.
There was no choice but for her to accompany him over!
"Yao Er, don’t underestimate fishing!"
ng Qiyuan smiled lightly and continued, "Fishing is a study in itself; it can cultivate one’s character, temper one’s disposition, and there are so many intricacies to it! I’ve been fishing for so long, yet I haven’t figured out many of its nuances."
"Grandpa, what nuances can there possibly be in fishing?"
ng Yao cast a helpless look and said, "To , fishing is simply throwing bait into the river, sitting on the bank and waiting; if you’re lucky, you’ll catch more fish, and if not, you’ll catch fewer!"
"Then tell , if there are no nuances, why is it that when everyone else can’t catch any fish, only he can?"
ng Qiyuan didn’t rush to refute but instead eyed ng Yao and asked in return.
"This..."
This ti, ng Yao refrained from refuting her grandfather and instead looked at Yang Chen with curiosity.
Indeed!
When everyone else couldn’t catch any fish, why was Yang Chen the only one who could?
What thod did this guy use?
"Young man, congratulations, congratulations, quite a haul you’ve got!"
Soon, ng Qiyuan ca up to Yang Chen with a kindly smile and said, "I didn’t expect soone your age to have such a profound understanding of fishing, making this old man truly admire you!"
"Old Master, I’m just a little luckier, that’s all."
Yang Chen appeared very modest and said.
"In my view, this isn’t just luck!"
Hearing this, ng Qiyuan shook his head slightly and said, "When no one else can catch any fish, yet you can have such a fruitful catch in such a short ti, can that be called luck? There must be so technique in there..."
"Old Master, honestly, there’s no special technique, it’s really just good luck."
Yang Chen’s eyes shifted slightly, pretending to look mysterious.
Seeing Yang Chen’s expression, ng Qiyuan instantly knew that this young man was deliberately keeping sothing back. This made him even more eager and he said, "Young man, it’s almost noon, how about we have lunch together? There’s a fish restaurant nearby..."
"Well..."
Yang Chen seed very hesitant, and his hand discreetly tugged on Xiao Yuqi’s sleeve.
Feeling this action, Xiao Yuqi imdiately caught on and quickly showed a surprised expression, staring at ng Yao and said, "Hall Master ng, what a coincidence eting you here!"
"You are...??"
The sudden greeting made ng Yao slightly startle; she turned her head towards Xiao Yuqi, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"It’s !" Xiao Yuqi imdiately removed her mask and said, "I’m Xiao Yuqi, the owner of the Herbal Pavilion!"
"Boss Xiao, it’s you!"
Without the mask, ng Yao instantly recognized Xiao Yuqi’s identity. She had been to the Herbal Pavilion twice to buy herbs due to her grandfather’s health issues over the past year and had even inquired about herbal matters with Xiao Yuqi.
Looking closely, she noticed the birthmark on Xiao Yuqi’s face seed to have lightened, making her even more beautiful.
If the birthmark on her face completely disappeared, this woman would definitely be a stunning beauty that countless n would go wild for!
"Yao Er, you know her?"
Seeing this, ng Qiyuan’s eyes glinted with excitent, and he gently tugged ng Yao’s arm, asking in a low voice.
ng Yao nodded, "Yes, she’s the owner of the Herbal Pavilion. I t her twice when buying herbs for you. We’re just acquaintances, not very familiar."
ng Qiyuan looked hopeful: "Then could you invite them both to dinner for ?"
ng Yao: "Grandpa, that’s not necessary, I’m not very familiar with them, and..."
ng Qiyuan interrupted ng Yao directly, saying, "Yao Er, consider it a favor to grandpa, just help . A week from now, the new fishing competition begins. I’ve lost to Old Man Wang six tis already, and this ti, I must win. I have a strong feeling that this young man definitely has so secret techniques. If I learn his fishing techniques, I can surely beat Old Man Wang."
Seeing the whispering grandfather-granddaughter duo, Yang Chen’s face was filled with smug satisfaction. His plan with Xiao Yuqi had worked.
By leveraging ng Qiyuan’s desire for advice, they made him co to them willingly, then Xiao Yuqi could pretend to recognize ng Yao’s identity.
Under normal circumstances, ng Qiyuan would certainly ask ng Yao to invite Xiao Yuqi to dinner.
As long as they could eat at the sa table, it would be convenient to bring up the matter of buying dicinal herbs.
At that ti, with ng Qiyuan’s presence, ng Yao naturally wouldn’t demand exorbitant prices, and it might even be cheaper.
Everything was going according to plan.
In the end, ng Yao couldn’t resist her grandfather’s pleading, so she had no choice but to invite the two to dinner.
Yang Chen and Xiao Yuqi exchanged a few formalities and agreed, following the ng grandfather-granddaughter to a nearby fish restaurant.
In the private room, ng Qiyuan pulled Yang Chen to sit beside him, incessantly asking about fishing techniques.
However, Yang Chen didn’t actually understand any fishing techniques, he could only bluff, fortunately with Xiao Yuqi’s support, he didn’t slip up and kept ng Qiyuan happily entertained.
Seeing her grandfather so happy, the filial ng Yao was also pleased. Whether or not her grandfather learned anything useful, as long as he’s happy, it’s all that matters.
As the waiter served the dishes, Yang Chen shot a glance at Xiao Yuqi, signaling that during the al, they could bring up the Gemfruit of the Twin Dragons.
Xiao Yuqi discreetly responded with a glance, indicating her understanding.
"Grandpa, please wait a mont, let Doctor Sun check your body before eating, alright?" Once the table was filled with food, Xiao Yuqi suddenly rembered sothing and promptly said.
"Oh, that’s not necessary!"
ng Qiyuan waved his hand, declining: "I’ve been quite healthy recently, no problems."
"Grandpa, it’s better to check, I’ll get Doctor Sun in."
After speaking, ng Yao took out her phone and dialed, and once the call was answered, she said: "Doctor Sun, co in!"
Two minutes later, the room’s door was pushed open.
A man dressed in black walked in, first greeting ng Yao, then sitting beside ng Qiyuan, chuckling lightly: "Old Master, co, let check your pulse, then eat."
"Doctor Sun, sorry to trouble you!"
ng Qiyuan politely said, then extended his hand to Sun Haiyang.
"It’s Doctor Sun!" Xiao Yuqi covered her mouth, a face full of surprise.
"Is he amazing?" Yang Chen looked curious.
"Of course, he’s the top doctor in Peach Blossom County... Who would have thought, ng Yao invited him over as a private doctor; that must cost a fortune!" Xiao Yuqi whispered to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen watched Sun Haiyang, if he’s truly Peach Blossom County’s top doctor, then he should be able to detect that ng Qiyuan has poison in him about to flare up in two hours, right?
Earlier he had pondered how to warn ng Qiyuan, but with Sun Haiyang here, he didn’t need to worry much.
"Old Master, your health is improving greatly, no problems, enjoy your al!"
However, after checking the pulse, Sun Haiyang announced a very positive ssage.
???
Yang Chen furrowed his brow, noticing sothing was amiss, could it be that Sun Haiyang didn’t notice any issues?
"Doctor Sun, can I drink alcohol?"
At this mont, ng Qiyuan looked eagerly at Sun Haiyan.
Everyone knew of his severe alcohol addiction, but due to recent illness and dication, he hadn’t drunk, and was almost suffering because of it. Now hearing his health was better, he had the wish to take a sip.
"Of course you can!"
Sun Haiyang responded almost without hesitation, nodding.
"Doctor Sun, my grandpa can really drink alcohol?"
ng Yao frowned deeply, clearly a bit worried.
But Sun Haiyang displayed great confidence, imdiately saying: "Hall Master ng, don’t worry, Old Master Sun’s health is really good now, drinking a little is fine, but definitely don’t overindulge!"
"Grandpa ng is in this state, yet you’re allowing him to drink, are you trying to endanger him?"
At this mont, Yang Chen frowned at Sun Haiyang, speaking coldly.
