A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 41 When Your Disciple is Lucky

Mo Xuan quickly pulled back his fishing rod and handed it to Zhou Hanzhang, "Hurry up, get the earth dragon on board, and wipe them out without leaving a single one alive."

Seeing Mo Xuan's delight, Xuan Lingzi glanced at their fish basket and asked, "What are you doing catching so many earthworms?"

Mo Xuan chuckled, "You'll find out soon enough."

"Stop struggling. When your disciple was looking for earth dragons, Mo Ran had already caught two."

Mo Xuan didn't care at all. "Let's fish then. With this, we'll definitely be able to turn the tide."

Zhou Hanzhang quickly hooked the earthworm onto the fishing line, looked at Mirror Moon Lake, chose a spot, walked there, and cast the fishing rod into the water.

As expected, not long after Zhou Hanzhang cast his line, his fishing rod began to jump wildly.

She simply lifted the fishing rod, and a palm-sized, glowing, rainbow-colored fish landed on the lakeshore.

Xuan Lingzi was surprised when he saw the fish. "This is rare! We've been here many times, but we've never caught this glowing, seven-colored fish."

"Just because you're not good at it doesn't mean everyone is as bad as you, right?" Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows smugly.

Xuan Lingzi wasn't too nervous. "Just consider it good luck for your disciple."

"Hehe, this is not a matter of good luck."

As they were talking, Zhou Hanzhang caught two more fish.

"It seems your disciple's skills are truly remarkable." Xuan Lingzi was somewhat nervous, and reached out to stroke his beard.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Hanzhang caught another fish.

Xuan Lingzi's hand, which was stroking his beard, suddenly stiffened. With a hiss, he pulled out two hairs from his beard.

He leaned closer to Mo Xuan's fish basket filled with earthworms. "Could it be that the fish here particularly love to eat earthworms?"

"Can you give us a dragon?" He reached out to grab one.

Mo Xuan, enduring the numbness in his body, directly reached out to stop him, "Can't you go find it yourself?"

With questions in mind, Xuan Lingzi also picked up a fish basket and walked deeper into the woods.

Not long after, he returned with some earthworms.

He secretly glanced at Mo Xuan's fish basket and was surprised to find that it was already half full!

"You guys cheated, didn't you? I was only gone for a short while, and your fish baskets were already half full?" Xuan Lingzi couldn't believe it.

He looked at Chen Moran suspiciously, "Could it be that you put all the fish you caught into their baskets?"

Before Chen Moran could react, Mo Xuan said sarcastically, "How could your disciple dare to hide the fish from you? He's just not strong enough."

Xuan Lingzi: !!!

You might as well say he gave you the fish.

Don't get angry.

Don't get angry.

Don't get angry.

Ugh! I'm so angry!

He took Chen Moran's fishing rod directly, pulled it out of the lake, and hooked an earthworm onto it as well.

Seeing that he too had earthworms attached to his body, Mo Xuan felt a little worried. He looked at Zhou Hanzhang and asked, "Hanzhang, are they going to catch up with us?"

Zhou Hanzhang was busy casting, reeling in, and collecting fish, not having a moment to spare.

"Don't even mention earth dragons, even if they were to equip real dragons, they still couldn't catch up with our progress, so don't worry."

Although these words were arrogant, they inexplicably calmed Mo Xuan's tense heart.

He looked at Xuan Lingzi with a grin, "Did you hear that?"

Xuan Lingzi, of course, didn't believe in superstitions and threw the fishing rod with the earthworm on it into the water. However, he kept staring at the lake and the fishing rod, but the fishing rod didn't move at all!

He told Chen Moran to look at the fishing rod, then walked over to Zhou Hanzhang and circled her, looking at her again and again.

Finally, he stretched out his fingers and began to calculate.

Mo Xuan chuckled upon seeing this, "So, have you figured out how to beat my disciple yet?"

Xuan Lingzi calculated for a while, then put down his fingers in frustration. "I'm not fishing anymore. What's the point of fishing? We can't win."

"Hahaha, go ahead and fish! Maybe your calculations are wrong, and you might be able to catch up later!" Mo Xuan laughed heartily.

Xuan Lingzi's face darkened. "Even if you say my fishing skills are bad, you can't say my predictions are inaccurate! Besides, even if you predicted that you would bring her here today, I still lost so badly."

“You guessed right, but there’s no reward. Come back with me now. You haven’t been back to the capital for so many years. You’re getting on in years, and you still love to go out every day. If you come to the academy, we brothers can take care of each other, so that no one will even know if you die out there.”

"Pah!" Xuan Lingzi almost couldn't help but spit at him.

Don't talk about martial arts!

Mo Xuan looked at the nearly full fish basket with pleasure. "How about it? Shall we continue?"

"I already said I'm not fishing anymore, so what are we continuing? Are we continuing to watch your disciple show off his skills?"

Xuan Lingzi poured the fish from his basket back into Mirror Moon Lake, packed up his fishing gear, and said, "Let's go, let's go back."

Seeing Xuan Lingzi's unhappy face, Mo Xuan also told Zhou Hanzhang to stop fishing. "Let's stop fishing and go back."

He also poured the fish that Zhou Hanzhang had caught back into Mirror Moon Lake.

Zhou Hanzhang looked on, puzzled. "Dean, aren't we taking these fish back with us?"

"Things in Mirror Moon Lake cannot be taken away at will. Legend has it that you have to pay the price for whatever you take," Chen Moran explained from the side.

Although Zhou Hanzhang found it somewhat mysterious, since the two biggest charlatans in the Great Zhou Dynasty were taking it so seriously, it couldn't be too fake.

It's best to respect that.

After they finished packing and came down the mountain, Xuan Lingzi immediately saw the large carriage.

He glared at Mo Xuan, his face dark. "Did you plan this all along before driving this carriage here?"

Mo Xuan chuckled, "How could that be? Senior brother, you've misunderstood. It's just that these two lads insisted on coming along. You know me, I always dote on the younger generation, but this time I really had no choice."

Xuan Lingzi didn't believe it at all.

They quickly returned to the academy, and Mo Xuan said to Xuan Lingzi, "I've prepared a courtyard for you. Do you want to live with me or have your own courtyard?"

Xuan Lingzi looked at Tianan Academy, which he hadn't visited in a long time, and was filled with emotion.

"I live by myself." He's still angry; don't think you can forgive him just by saying a few nice words.

"Alright, alright, come on, I'll take you there." Mo Xuan adopted an extremely humble posture.

Xuan Lingzi flicked his hand and walked forward, saying, "I still know the way."

"Oh dear, after all these years of traveling and enjoying life, why can't we be more open-minded?" Mo Xuan muttered to himself as he followed behind.

Xuan Lingzi didn't stop walking. "If you say another word, I'll move out. I only said I would teach here for five years, not that I would live here for five years."

Mo Xuan quickly covered his mouth and followed closely behind Xuan Lingzi.

The moon was high in the sky, and it was almost midnight. Zhou Hanzhang was also very tired.

She and Chen Moran followed the dean's footsteps, both eager to return to their dormitories to rest.

When she returned to the dormitory, she found that Jiang Yichen and Shen Moli had not yet returned. Gu Qingfeng occasionally let out a few screams on the bed and cursed Zhou Hanzhang.

When he heard the noise, he saw Zhou Hanzhang lighting the schoolhouse with a tinderbox.

"Zhou Hanzhang!!!!!!!!!"

Gu Qingfeng suddenly shouted.
