His voice was low and slow, seeming to unravel Shen Li's doubts while also murmuring to himself.
"At that time, the old guy spent twenty taels of silver to have your grandfather cast a fishing net."
"Girl, do you know what your grandfather was thinking then?"
Shen Li, resting her chin on her hand and engrossed, thought for a moment and said, "Did grandpa think Elder Xu was foolish?"
Shen Yuan took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.
"I did think so, but I also thought the old guy had other intentions."
"However, mostly I didn't want to take advantage of him."
Shen Li's expression was somewhat peculiar.
"What happened later?"
Shen Yuan organized his thoughts and said, "Later, when the net was cast, it caught a Tuo Dragon."
"Back then, I was just an ordinary mortal, how could I be a match for a Tuo Dragon?"
"The net broke, and the fish got away."
"I wanted to return the silver, but the old guy didn't take it; he only took two bluefish."
