Chapter 356 Bauhinia Island 8

"Ah! So she is actually that famous Fourth Young Miss Su. No wonder. I heard she stole her sister's fiancé, making her sister so angry she declared a life-and-death battle on the spot?"

"That happened too? I wouldn't have guessed from her clean and pretty appearance that she would do such an immoral thing, even stealing her own biological sister's fiancé?"

For a moment, everyone was buzzing with discussion and whispers, straying from fishing for Purple Bauhinia Fish to the life-and-death battle.

Su Luo's hearing was already good, and after advancing to the third rank, her senses were even sharper; she heard every single word.

She hadn't expected that in just over a month, public opinion would shift entirely to Su Qing's side, whitewashing her into a white lotus victim while making Su Luo out to be a ruthless and malicious female antagonist.

Su Luo thought about it and couldn't help but find it laughable.

She didn't believe for a second that this public opinion wasn't being secretly guided. As for who that person was… Heh, Su Luo smiled without saying a word.

Su Luo grabbed a small clump of bait, placed it on the hook, and cast the line into the sea.

After all, it was her first time fishing; no matter how smart she was, her movements were still a bit awkward.

Consequently, this became another point for people to criticize, leaving her with no dignity left.

"Psh! She doesn't even know how to cast a rod, how can she catch Purple Bauhinia Fish? Does she think they're like any other fish?"

"Exactly, she used way too much bait. Who puts a whole clump in? It'd be a miracle if a Purple Bauhinia Fish bit."

"With that skill level, she dares to compete with His Highness the Crown Prince? This is beyond embarrassing. There's no need to predict the outcome; I'll tell you right now, the Crown Prince is sure to win!"

These onlookers all confidently predicted that Su Luo would lose.

The corners of Su Luo's mouth curled up slightly. Her expression was focused on the sea, ignoring the commotion.

The Crown Prince heard all the negative comments about Su Luo. He glanced at her calmly and mocked, "If you can catch a single Purple Bauhinia Fish, this prince will…"

Before he could finish, the sneer on the Crown Prince's face suddenly froze.

Because he saw the line on Su Luo's fishing rod being dragged down.

This was the sign of a fish biting.

Everyone around became excited.

"Oh my god, it's hooked! It's hooked!"

"How is that possible? It's only been cast for less than half a minute, right?"

"Half a minute? It hasn't even been ten seconds! Seriously, her luck is way too good, right?"

Facing these excited, incoherent voices, Su Luo smiled faintly. She carefully lifted the fishing rod and took a close look; there, hanging on it, was indeed a lively Purple Bauhinia Fish.

This Purple Bauhinia Fish was much larger than the previous one, about the length of two adult palms. Its body was enveloped in a faint Spiritual Qi, shimmering with purple, clearly indicating it was quite old.

Before Su Luo could put it down, Bei Chenying ran up like a lackey, eagerly helping her remove the Purple Bauhinia Fish from its mouth. He smiled and gave her a thumbs up: "sister-in-law is amazing! Keep it up and crush that bird-man!"

"Who are you calling a bird-man!" His Highness the Crown Prince was already feeling depressed, and hearing Bei Chenying's annoying chatter made him even more irritated. He gave a heavy huff and rolled his eyes at him.

"Whoever answers is the one I'm talking about." The clever Bei Chenying instantly bypassed the Crown Prince's linguistic trap.

If Bei Chenying had answered that the bird-man was talking about you, it would have been an indirect admission that he himself was a bird-man.
