The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 283 Fishing for Eels

Li Maitian was quite patient: "You can either pry or fish."

"Of course we'll go fishing!" Wei Yanxing looked at Zheng Xun. "Princess, come on, come on!"

Lu Mengying, who had been working diligently, finally put down her rake and looked over: "Princess!"

He Wuyang asked with great interest, "Princess, shall I teach you?"

Not wanting to disappoint the crowd, Zheng Xun joined He Wuyang in the gathering.

Wei Yanxing held a wire with a bent end in his hand, and Li Maitian dug up a few earthworms from the side and taught Wei Yanxing how to string them together.

"Come on, stick the iron hook in, but don't make any big movements."

Wei Yanxing stared seriously at the cave entrance: "Princess, take note, I'll help you explore."

Lu Mengying sneered. What right did he have to tell the princess to learn from him?

What she disliked most about Wei Yanxing was his arrogant and disrespectful attitude.

Wei Yanxing was unaware of his friend's disapproval; he was diligently following Li Maitian's instructions step by step.

"what's next?"

The next step is to wait.

He figured he could just wait; it was the same principle as fishing.

He Wuyang looked at the sun.

"Princess, I'll be leaving for a while."

Wei Yanxing turned around and glared at him, whispering, "Shut up!"

He Wuyang shut his mouth and didn't argue with him. Seeing Zheng Xun nod, he quietly left.

After waiting for a while, Wei Yanxing asked solemnly, "Old Li, is your method really feasible?"

Li Maitian glanced at him: "Young man, you really have no patience."

Wei Yanxing, having been rebuffed, could only shut his mouth in frustration.

He refocused on the task at hand.

Time passed slowly, and Zheng Xun, feeling a bit bored, drew a few squares on the edge of the field to teach Lü Mengying and Li Maitian how to play Connect Four.

Wei Yanxing was quite patient.

But unfortunately, the iron hook remained completely still, without making a sound.

He pulled out the iron hook and asked suspiciously, "Is there really an eel in here?"

Li Maitian's gaze moved from his obviously puzzled face to his shoulders, arms, wire, and finally to the hook at the top, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

Wei Yanxing followed and looked over.

The earthworm at the hook had vanished, leaving the empty, shiny surface as if mocking him.

Wei Yanxing hid the iron hook behind his back: "What we're saying is, is it possible that the earth dragon fell off by itself?"

Li Maitian's expression was subtle: "Although I didn't expect you to say that, I did tie a knot when I put it on."

"Old Li, sometimes we don't need to be so blunt when we talk. Especially when someone has just put on a facade, there's no need to tear it off!"

"Which book is this principle from? I'll remember it and study it!"

Despite his advanced age, Li Maitian was also included in He Wuyang's literacy campaign.

Therefore, he has been looking for opportunities to learn all the time lately.

Wei Yanxing choked: "Ahem, well, didn't the princess say she wanted to give it a try?"

Zheng Xun politely replied, "That's right."

Wei Yanxing smiled brightly and prepared to take the hook out from behind his back.

He was rough when he hid the hook, and he wasn't careful when he took it out either.

With a "rip," the sound of fabric tearing rang out.

Two pieces of fabric with rough edges were hanging conspicuously on the iron hook.

The other end of the fabric was attached to his clothes and trousers.

Wei Yanxing released his grip in disbelief.

The hook slipped, and the fabric dangled down.

He slowly turned his hands behind his back, covering his back.

There was a moment of eerie stillness, followed by a burst of laughter.

Lu Mengying's expression was distorted, and her laughter was eerie. Zheng Xun laughed so hard he bent over, and Li Maitian pointed at Wei Yanxing, laughing so hard he lost his voice.

A world where only Wei Yanxing is injured is achieved.

"How heartless! All he does is laugh and he didn't even think about helping me."

"Hahaha!"

“Princess, if you keep laughing, your royal dignity will be completely destroyed.”

"Hahaha……"

"Mr. Liu, could you please find me a jacket or pants? I'm begging you."

"Ho ho..."

The three of them laughed uncontrollably, while Wei Yanxing silently gazed at the sky.

It seems his words are destined to go unanswered.

Okay, okay, go ahead and laugh.

He's willing to play the clown if it makes the people around him laugh.

There's no way around it, he's just that great.

He feigned anger: "Did you even hear me?!"

Sure enough, the more he acted this way, the happier the others became.

Laughter is contagious.

When one person rests, another person will take them back.

He Wuyang walked towards them from a distance, and when he saw Zheng Xun, who was smiling so broadly, he slowed his pace.

Although he didn't know why they were so happy, he didn't want to disturb them.

Zheng Xun and the others were not particularly outgoing, and their out-of-control emotions did not last long.

He Wuyang quickly approached after seeing that they had all finished laughing.

"You're back?" Zheng Xun looked at him, a smile still lingering in his eyes. "Do you have any extra clothes? Take Yanxing to change into a new set."

"Oh? I'll only be gone for a little while, looks like everyone's had a blast!"

Li Maitian was familiar with him and didn't hold back his words in front of him, vividly describing what had just happened.

He Wuyang was stunned by what he heard, and when he looked at Wei Yanxing again, he was filled with amazement.

Goodness, this guy looks shrewd and dishonest, but he's actually quite a character.

“Alright, Young Master Wei, please come with me. By the way, you all get up and rest for a bit, and get ready to eat.”

"What delicious food has Young Master He prepared?"

"Everyone on the estate is treated equally. The food isn't particularly good, but it's certainly not bad either. Please don't find it offensive."

The two people He Wuyang mentioned naturally did not include Zheng Xun.

He made this arrangement because he knew Zheng Xun wouldn't mind.

As expected, Zheng Xun showed no dissatisfaction.

"How could that be? If others can eat it, so can we," Wei Yanxing said, rubbing his backside as he jumped onto the ridge. "Shall we go?"

"We're not leaving. Someone will come to bring us food soon, and we'll eat here."

Wei Yanxing had no objections; he was only concerned with clearing his name: "Young Master He, is there anything else you wish to explain?"

He's in a real hurry, so he should finish quickly.

He Wuyang said sympathetically, "You've finished speaking, Young Master He, please come with me."

Wei Yanxing quickly turned around, facing Zheng Xun and the others, and slowly backed away.

Following Li Maitian's example, Lü Mengying washed her hands in the field and then dried them with the corner of her clothes.

She does everything meticulously, and even the simplest things she learns take it very seriously.

Li Maitian likes this kind of down-to-earth "young man" the most.

Yes, he probably didn't use that word wrong.

"Little girl, remember to look carefully after the leech is out of the water. Leech bites don't hurt and are not easy to detect."

"it is good."

Zheng Xun sensed Lü Mengying's unusually cheerful mood today through his spiritual power and smiled silently.

Soon, He Wuyang and Wei Yanxing returned, having finished packing.

Along with them were two food trucks.

Old Man Li shouted, "Let's go get our food!"

Along the many ridges of the fields, figures, some walking briskly and others walking slowly and steadily, gathered towards the food truck.

Just as Zheng Xun was about to go and take a look, a blurry figure flashed past him.
