Chapter 2649 - Meeting at the Lake (2/2)

Since Bao’er had already been able to get two, though, that was still a fantastic result.

Not everything she fished up was a high-level treasure. There were a few ordinary items in there. But whether they were high-class or low-class items, they all looked sovereignly luxurious.

Suddenly, Han Sen’s eyes flashed. He picked up Bao’er and pulled the Underworld Silk away from her.

A minute later, he saw someone approach. It was Second Brother Liyu Zhen, the man that Han Sen had met when he first entered Outer Sky.

Liyu Zhen saw Han Sen and Bao’er behaving as if they were having a vacation, lying down on their sunbathing chairs with a parasol. There were many snacks and drinks on a table beside them. There was even a nuclear reactor mini-fridge. The sight made him frown.

“Exquisite brought you here to practice, not to have a vacation,” Liyu Zhen said coldly.

“What has it got to do with you?” Han Sen continued to lounge on the sunbathing chair. He didn’t get up, and he didn’t even spare the other man a glance.

Liyu Zhen’s face looked cold. He stared at Han Sen for a while. Without saying another word, he went to the other side of the lake. He pulled out an Underworld Silk from his head of hair. It looked as if he had come there to fish, as well.

If most people of another race spoke to Liyu Zhen like that, he would have reacted poorly. But Han Sen was already Exquisite’s silkworm. There was nothing he could do to Han Sen; that was one of the Very High’s established rules. Even if a silkworm committed a crime, it was the master of the silkworm that had to deal with it.

If Liyu Zhen fought Han Sen there, he wouldn’t simply be fighting Han Sen. He would be humiliating Exquisite. That was why Liyu Zhen didn’t do anything.

With Liyu Zhen being there, though, Han Sen couldn’t allow Bao’er to fish for him. So, he fished on his own the whole time.

Han Sen’s situation was still mostly the same, though. He still reclined in his sunbathing chair. He tied the Underworld Silk to his finger, so he could sense movement the moment it happened.

Han Sen then turned his attention back to reading through the geno arts. He didn’t have to look at his line, though. He knew it was only a matter of time before he received another yellow piece of paper.

Of course, an hour later, something pulled at his line. He pulled it out of the mist, revealing another sheet of paper.

Liyu Zhen glanced over when he saw that Han Sen had received something. It was just an old piece of paper, though, so he ignored Han Sen and carried on fishing.

With Liyu Zhen being there, Han Sen felt uncomfortable. When there was no one, Exquisite could not feel him, and he was able to do anything he wanted to.

If he disobeyed Exquisite’s wishes while someone was there to tattle on him, however, he could risk getting into trouble.

Plus, Liyu Zhen had seen what Han Sen had pulled out of the lake. Now, he could no longer hide what he had retrieved. If Exquisite wanted to read the pages, he would have to let her see them.

“What is this guy doing here?” Han Sen couldn’t think of a way to get the man to leave, and he couldn’t leave himself. He had to continue fishing.

After half the day, Liyu Zhen felt as if something was amiss. In that short period of time, Han Sen had pulled three things out of the lake. They all looked like old sheets of paper. Han Sen was operating at a remarkably efficient catch rate.

When Han Sen pulled out his third piece of paper, Liyu Zhen put away his Underworld Silk and walked in front of Han Sen to look at the other man’s catch.

“Let me see those papers.”
