Luo Yiyi had just successfully thrown the fishing line and hook into the water, but encountered trouble when pulling the rod, because the fishing line, which was just the right length for an adult like Song Sheng, was too long for a child like Luo Yiyi.

She tried her best to lean her body back and raise her hands holding the bamboo pole, but she still couldn't pull the fishhook out of the water.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a dull sound made the trio's hearts skip a beat, and their eyelids twitched when they saw the situation in front of them.

She accidentally tilted her head back, and Luo Yiyi fell backwards due to inertia, with the back of her head hitting the board. She blinked in pain and stared at the cloudless sky above her head in a daze.

There was no movement for a long time. The trio looked at each other, not knowing what was going on with Luo Yiyi. They wanted to go up and take a look, but they didn't dare to because Song Sheng was there.

After a long time, Luo Yiyi sat up as if she had just come to her senses, stared at the bamboo pole in her hand for a while, and simply pulled the fishing line to retrieve the hook.

Are you giving up? — The three people behind him thought at the same time.

When she pulled the fishhook out of the water, the bait on it disappeared, which showed that there was indeed a fish at the bottom of the river, but the fish was too small. By the time she wanted to pull it up, the fish had already taken the opportunity to break free and escape.

Luo Yiyi held the empty fishing hook and slowly moved her eyes to Song Sheng who was meditating with his eyes closed. Then, as the trio exclaimed in their hearts, she hooked the fishing hook on his sleeve, but accidentally tore his sleeve.

"oops!"

Sticking out her tongue, Luo Yiyi decided to go all the way and directly put the hook through the hole and hung the sleeve on it.

Then she grabbed Song Sheng's arm and shook it hard, urging him on.

"Big brother! Big brother! Big brother..."

Song Sheng opened his eyes and lowered his head to ask what was going on, but the first thing he saw was his sleeve that was torn by a hook. He, who usually did not show his emotions, had his eyelids twitching and the corners of his mouth twitching. For the first time, he truly experienced the suicidal power of this "naughty child".

Raising his sleeves and waving them, the helplessness in Song Sheng's tone made the trio look at Luo Yiyi with new respect.

"Aren't you fishing? What are you doing?"

"I'm fishing! And I caught a really big, really big, really big fish!"

Watching Luo Yiyi making a huge gesture, Song Sheng secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm as he put down his hand and took the fishhook off his sleeve.

"Where is the really big, really big, really awesome fish?"

Luo Yiyi stretched out her finger and pointed it directly at Song Sheng's chest.

"Right here! I fished up the big brother!"

Song Sheng was stunned on the spot, and only came to his senses when he heard a snicker from behind. He turned around and gave the trio behind him a meaningful look, which successfully made the trio dare not make any sound even if their faces turned red.

Turning around, Song Sheng raised his hand, held Luo Yiyi's fingers, and slowly pressed her hand down.

"Yiyi, let me teach you that this is called 'taking shortcuts', which is wrong. We should be down-to-earth and be good people."

Luo Yiyi nodded obediently, and suddenly moved closer to Song Sheng: "But didn't big brother take shortcuts?"

Song Sheng answered without hesitation: "No."

Luo Yiyi obviously didn't believe it, and moved her face closer to the other person: "Really?"

Song Sheng did not give in at all and answered firmly, "No."

Luo Yiyi didn't stop approaching until the tip of her nose touched the other's nose. Her big eyes looked straight into Song Sheng's deep eyes.

"Big brother, lying to a child will make your conscience hurt, and you will be punished greatly! So you really don't have it?"

This time Song Sheng did not answer immediately. After staring at Luo Yiyi for a long time, he finally laughed. He put his index finger on her forehead and gently pushed her away.

"Okay, I admit defeat. Big brother is an opportunistic adult. However, this is my experience as a person who has been through it. You should neither be too opportunistic nor too down-to-earth. You need to find the 'golden mean'."

"Moderate? What does that mean?"

“Neither good nor bad, neither biased nor extreme, neither tepid nor fiery. When the golden mean is achieved, heaven and earth return to their proper places, and all things grow and develop, so that the cycle can continue endlessly.”

Luo Yiyi shook her head: "I still don't understand."

"You are too young to understand, but the only person in the world who can understand clearly is probably your master, Venerable Tianlu. Many people are not incapable of understanding, but they just don't want to understand. After all, understanding too much will make life boring. And the only people who can endure such a boring life, probably the Fu family, throughout history, can do it."

Luo Yiyi felt a strange sense of incompatibility in her heart, as if some answer was about to come out, but she couldn't see it with her current ability. However, she could still sense that something was wrong in her subconscious.

"Big brother, you..."

Song Sheng raised his eyebrows, surprised at her sharpness: "What?"

Then he saw Luo Yiyi directly take out a string of brightly colored candied haws from the storage bag and handed it to him.

"This string of candied haws is for you. If you eat my candied haws, we will be good friends!"

Song Sheng was once again stunned by her unconventional behavior. He couldn't help but start to wonder if it was really because she was young and didn't understand anything, or was she just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

"No need. I have already been fasting and don't eat these mortal foods."

Luo Yiyi was happy to see him refuse. She turned her wrist and stuffed the candied haws into her mouth. Her movements were so smooth that it was obvious that she was a repeat offender.

Song Sheng didn't understand the meaning of her actions, but he didn't ask. Instead, he watched patiently as Luo Yiyi finished a candied haws with a happy face.

Just when Luo Yiyi was about to take a bite of the second candied haws, he spoke softly with genuine doubt.

"Don't you have anything to ask?"

With her mouth wide open, Luo Yiyi looked up, thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head.

"I have a lot of questions to ask, but I know that big brother will not answer them honestly."

"Oh? How do you know I won't answer honestly if you don't ask?"

"Do you know?"

"You can try?"

Reluctantly putting down the candied haws, Luo Yiyi thought seriously for a moment and then asked the first question.

"Can you destroy the demonic dragon heart tree?"

"can."

"But you're not going to do it, are you?"

Song Sheng was surprised but still answered: "Yes."

"You have been stalling for time here, and after I came here, you even planned to drag me along to stall for time. Is it because you know the ending?"

"Yes."

"But Guigui is gone, and now no one can deal with the Dragon Heart Tree. Aren't you worried that the birth of the demon dragon will kill many people who shouldn't have died?"

Luo Yiyi's words revealed too much information. Song Sheng did not answer but looked back.

The trio disappeared very consciously from where they were, not wanting to hear anything they shouldn't.

Here, Luo Yiyi saw the three people disappear, and her suspicions were obviously confirmed.

Song Sheng is also a person who knows the original plot, so who is he?
