Chapter 355: Zijing Island 7

Bei Chenying put down his brush and lifted his chin triumphantly. "This is written so well, I almost want to keep it for myself and not let anyone else see it."

Su Luo was speechless; this kid really was a case of 'one who lies down with dogs rises with fleas.' Just like Nangong Liuyun, his narcissism knew no bounds.

Bei Chenying wrote a total of three copies: one for Su Luo, one for the Crown Prince, and one for himself as the witness, to prevent anyone from going back on their word.

After the three of them signed their names, the competition began.

"The time limit is three hours. Whoever catches the most Purple Bauhinia Fish will be the winner." Bei Chenying swung his hand down, and the competition officially started.

To maintain the fairness, justice, and transparency of the competition, Su Luo and Nangong Liujue sat in the same spot to fish.

Everyone's bait was prepared according to their own secret recipe. No one would check another person's bait, as long as it could catch Purple Bauhinia Fish. Therefore, Su Luo fished with a clear conscience.

At this moment, not far away, Lan Xuan shook his head with a smile.

"Sigh, it looks like Nangong is going to lose a fortune this time." Lan Xuan leaned back lazily in his chair, shifting into a comfortable position, his voice tinged with a sigh. "That girl is truly a bit willful. I don't know what Nangong sees in her."

An Yeming glared at him. "If you don't want to hurt our brotherhood, then don't comment on her. Can't you see that Nangong is serious this time?"

Lan Xuan's expression froze. He glanced at the commotion in the distance and still hummed, "But I really don't see how that girl is worthy of Nangong. Look at what she's doing…"

An Yeming paused, looking at the deep blue sky in the distance. After watching for a long while, he slowly said, "You think she'll lose this time?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Lan Xuan spread his hands, taking it for granted. "Although Nangong Liujue is annoying to look at, his strength isn't bad. Don't forget that last year, the number of Purple Bauhinia Fish he caught was second only to Nangong's. How can the Su Family girl compare to him? Isn't this just like an egg striking a stone, looking for trouble? Nangong is really something, actually indulging her."

An Yeming smiled faintly, his voice gentle. "No, I'm afraid you're going to guess wrong this time."

"You believe that girl will win?" Lan Xuan glanced at An Yeming with amusement.

"I don't believe in her, but I believe in Nangong," An Yeming said quietly. "Nangong's judgment has always been the most accurate. From childhood until now, have you ever seen him lose?"

"That's true… but this time, maybe he'll be too smart for his own good and fail in an easy task?" Lan Xuan simply didn't believe Su Luo could win.

An Yeming only smiled faintly and stopped talking, focusing instead on his fishing rod.

What he didn't tell Lan Xuan was that he always felt that girl was not simple and was very mysterious, though he couldn't explain exactly why.

Meanwhile, on Su Luo's side.

News of the bet spread, and consequently, many people gathered around to see what was happening.

However, compared to Su Luo, everyone was very optimistic about His Highness the Crown Prince.

Not only was the Crown Prince's martial arts cultivation much higher than Su Luo's, but the number of Purple Bauhinia Fish he caught last year was obvious to all; his strength was quite extraordinary.

"This girl really doesn't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, actually daring to challenge the Crown Prince."

"That's nothing. The most interesting part is their wager. For every Purple Bauhinia Fish the winner catches, the loser has to pay that many green crystal stones. Hehe, I'm afraid this girl is going to lose a fortune."

"Which family is this girl from? Why haven't I seen her before?"

"Have you heard of that useless trash from the Su Residence? Have you heard about the life-and-death battle between sisters that's been talked about so much lately?"
