Chapter 749 Tailless Fish

Huang Lao's speculation was actually the same as Chu Zhongtian's, but after nearly five days of observation, he was like a headless fly, not knowing where to start.

"Huang Lao, I know that Master sent me to Hushan County for a purpose, but how to find his purpose is my biggest headache now."

"This...!" Faced with Chu Zhongtian's dilemma, Huang Lao didn't know how to answer for the time being.

"Have you heard that someone caught a three-jin tailless fish on Weishan Island this morning!" Just as Chu Zhongtian and Huang Lao were thinking about Jiao Enjun's intention, the conversation between a table of guests not far from him attracted Chu Zhongtian's attention.

"I also heard that the one who caught the three-jin tailless fish was a great master in the body refining stage. Only such a great master can catch a three-jin tailless fish." A middle-aged man in his thirties, who was at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi refining stage, agreed with envy.

"Yes! Last year, a 2.4-pound tailless fish was sold at a sky-high price of one million tenth-grade lower-level spirit stones. I wonder what the price of a three-pound tailless fish will be sold at in the end!" Another guest at the same table also said with envy.

"In my opinion, a three-pound tailless fish can be sold at a sky-high price of at least 100,000 ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones!" The last guest at the same table, whose cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, said with a very certain tone.

"One hundred thousand ninth-grade lower-level spirit stones, in my opinion, may not even be sold at 100,000 tenth-grade lower-level spirit stones!" Just as the diners at this table were guessing the final price of a three-pound tailless fish, and envious and jealous of when they could make such a fortune, a young man in his twenties, dressed in gorgeous clothes, loudly retorted.

"Isn't this Yue Zichao, the third son of the Yue family!" Just as the young man was retorting, someone among the diners who were dining in the hall recognized the young man's origin and couldn't help but say it out.

"That's right, this son is from the Yue family, an eighth-grade family in Hushan County!" Yue Zichao was not angry when he heard someone recognize him and call out his origin. Instead, he seemed very proud.

"Mr. Yue, last year, a tailless fish weighing two catties and four ounces was finally sold at a sky-high price of one million tenth-grade lower-level spirit stones. Why can't a tailless fish weighing three catties be sold at this price this year?"

Among the diners at the scene, there were people who were familiar with Yue Zichao. They knew that although he was from an eighth-grade family and liked to show off, he was still kind and didn't have the arrogance of a son of a noble family, so a guest in the northwest corner questioned.

"Why? Because just two hours ago, a half-step Qi transformation master caught a tailless fish weighing 5.7 jin!" Yue Zichao found an empty table by the window and sat down while explaining.

Then, he gave an order to the waiter who came to meet him.

"A tailless fish weighing 5.7 jin!" Hearing Yue Zichao say that someone had caught a tailless fish weighing 5.7 jin, most of the diners at the scene were stunned.

"Something is not right! Weishan Lake has a history of producing tailless fish for at least tens of thousands of years. There are very few tailless fish weighing more than one jin. The records of tailless fish weighing two jin can be counted on one hand. As for tailless fish weighing more than three jin, they have never appeared. Why is it that this year, not only tailless fish weighing three jin appeared, but even tailless fish weighing 5.7 jin appeared." Among the diners in the hall, an old man who had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage but whose hair was completely white, said to himself with a puzzled look.

The doubtful voice of the white-haired old man made many diners in the hall nod their heads.

"According to the third grandfather who brought me here, Weishan Lake is a little abnormal this year, and I am afraid that some unknown secrets will appear, so he asked me to leave Weishan Island temporarily to prevent accidents!" Yue Zichao said very unwillingly after taking a sip of the fine wine served by the waiter.

"Mr. Yue, could it be that Senior Yue Wushuang is here too!" Hearing Yue Zichao mention his third grandfather, a diner who knew the Yue family asked in surprise.

"Yes, my third grandfather is on the island in the lake at this time." Nodding, Yue Zichao did not hide the information about his third grandfather.

"Since Senior Yue Wushuang said that there was an abnormality on Weishan Island, then this thing will happen 100%, let's leave Weishan Lake quickly!" The diner who questioned Yue Zichao quickly suggested to his companion at the same table.

Chu Zhongtian, who had been listening with his ears erect, heard the conversation between Yue Zichao and the diners in the hall just now clearly. At the same time, he had a guess in his mind.

"Mr. Huang, do you think the changes on Weishan Island are the reason why my master sent me here!" Although he had a guess in his mind, Chu Zhongtian still had to discuss it with Mr. Huang in his mind.

"It is very likely." Mr. Huang, who also heard the conversation between the diners, also felt that the Weishan Island that had undergone changes was very likely the purpose for Jiao Enjun to send Chu Zhongtian here.

However, guesses are always just guesses. Whether the Weishan Island that is undergoing changes is the target of Jiao Enjun's arrangement of this trip, we will know it by going to the island to explore.

"Chu boy, with the speed at which you can fly in the air now, it won't take too much time to go to Weishan Island, so we'd better go there in person."

"That's right, Mr. Huang, let's go!" Mr. Huang's suggestion was exactly what Chu Zhongtian was thinking. After reminding Mr. Huang, Chu Zhongtian left a gold coin and left the inn directly.

Looking at Chu Zhongtian getting up and leaving, Yue Zichao, who was drinking, immediately put down his glass. When Chu Zhongtian left the hall, he immediately got up and followed him.

Because he didn't know the purpose of Jiao Enjun arranging him to come to Hushan County, he bought a map of the entire county after entering Hushan County, so he knew the specific location of Weishan Island.

The inn was not far from the lake, and there were pedestrians coming and going all around, which was not suitable for performing too advanced body movements and martial arts, so Chu Zhongtian talked to Mr. Huang in his mind while approaching the lake quickly.

Finding a relatively secluded place by the lake, where there were basically no pedestrians, Chu Zhongtian flew directly into the air and headed straight for the island in the middle of the lake.

However, just as he flew into the air, he looked down at Yue Zichao hiding behind the rock, and a sneer flashed across his face.

Being followed inexplicably, according to Chu Zhongtian's previous character, he would have caught Yue Zichao long ago, beat him up severely first, and then asked about the purpose of following him.

However, he was anxious to find out Jiao Enjun's intention and had no time to pay attention to Yue Zichao for the time being, so he glanced at Yue Zichao coldly, then looked up and left quickly.
