Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Jeju Island.

Somewhere on the beach, two figures are fishing.

One of them was a mature, middle-aged scholar, and the other was a young man who looked very dashing and unrestrained.

The young man's fishing rod was very simple, made from a single piece of green bamboo. On the rod was only a simple hook made of needle, and there was no bait on it!

But the young man just left the fishing hook hanging in the air above the sea, waiting motionless.

On the other hand, it was obvious that the middle-aged scholar's fishing rod was of good quality, well-made, and the hook was also very delicate, with a large piece of bait on it.

The middle-aged man cast his baited hook far enough and then waited quietly for a fish to bite.

"Uncle Cheng, what if I beat you in sea fishing too? You won't have anything to say then, will you?"

The young man was very confident, and he was naturally the most dashing strategist of Liangshan, Xiao Jiasui.

The middle-aged scholar was his future father-in-law, Cheng Wanli.

"Hmph, you're really overconfident, not even using bait? And the hook isn't even very flexible? Kid, are you deliberately letting me win?"

Cheng Wanli looked at Xiao Jiasui, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

There was nothing he could do. These past few days, Xiao Jiasui had been constantly arguing with Cheng Wanli. As the father-in-law, Cheng Wanli was naturally very unhappy to see Xiao Jiasui, this pig who was trying to steal his little cabbage.

So he used every trick in the book to try and outdo Xiao Jiahui from multiple angles.

But he underestimated Xiao Jiasui. As one of the most talented people in the world, Xiao Jiasui was skilled in many things. What Cheng Wanli could do well, Xiao Jiasui could do well as well, or even better.

What Cheng Wanli can't offer, Xiao Jia can offer just as well!

The main selling point is "If you don't have it, I have it; if you have it, I have it better".

After competing in skills such as talent, political affairs, calligraphy, and painting, Cheng Wanli even sadly discovered that he no longer had anything truly substantial to offer in the competition.

So, having no other choice, we had to compete in things that weren't exactly respectable, like cooking, driving, tea tasting... and today's activity—fishing.

Actually, Cheng Wanli had no experience in sea fishing, but since he was sure he couldn't make up for it in other things, he might as well try his luck in sea fishing!

So, the two of them went sea fishing, and within a set time, they would see who could catch the most.

“Uncle Cheng, that’s not right. How could I possibly give in to you on purpose? Do you think that if I give in to you, you’ll let me marry Wan’er?”

Xiao Jiahui said, "Cheng Wanli, father-in-law, don't talk nonsense. How could I deliberately give way to you? I'm not a small person!"

Who told you to lose at everything else?

Then I have to give you some face, right?

"Hmph, don't even think about it. You'll have to beat me first!"

Cheng Wanli cherished his daughter dearly, treating her like a precious gem, afraid she might fall if he held her in his hands or melt if he kept her in his mouth.

In his view, let alone Xiao Jiahui, even if Zhao Ji himself came, he wouldn't be able to let his daughter enter the palace!

It's just that Ren Yuan didn't know about this, otherwise Cheng Wanli would definitely have earned the nickname of a doting father.

Xiao Jiasui is determined to give up today and absolutely cannot beat her future father-in-law. After all, Cheng Wan'er's mother died early and she was raised by Cheng Wanli alone. The father and daughter have a very good relationship!

Although he and Wan'er are now very close, he can't let Wan'er put him in a difficult position between him and Cheng Wanli.

As a son-in-law, you should admit defeat to your father-in-law, so just admit defeat!

It's not shameful.

Therefore, seeing Cheng Wanli start sea fishing with great interest, Xiao Jiasui clamped the fishing rod with a stone to secure it, then decisively lay down on a nearby reef, put her hands behind her head, closed her eyes and enjoyed the sunshine.

"Caught it!"

Cheng Wanli is indeed quite skilled at fishing. Even though it was his first time sea fishing, he demonstrated a fairly professional ability, and sure enough, he soon had a catch!

Although it was a small fish, only about half the size of my palm, at least I caught one, right?

"Clap clap clap!"

Xiao Jiahui leaned comfortably against the rock, watching Cheng Wanli catch the fish, and he promptly clapped!

No matter what your future father-in-law catches, even if it's just an empty shell, you still have to applaud!

"Uncle Cheng is amazing! Great job!"

Xiao Jiahui clapped earnestly, which made Cheng Wanli blush slightly. He quietly put the small fish back, then puffed out his chest, coughed, and looked at Xiao Jiahui seriously, saying:

"Heaven cherishes life. This fish is too small and should not have been caught. It would be better to release it back."

"Uncle Cheng is so kind!"

Xiao Jiahui continued clapping. No matter what people said, clapping was the right thing to do!

"But I did catch something, Xiao. If you don't take this seriously, you're going to lose."

Seeing how serious Cheng Wanli was, Xiao Jiahui thought for a moment and then said:

"Uncle, have you heard the story of Jiang Taigong fishing?"

"Of course I've heard of it."

Cheng Wanli glanced at Xiao Jiasui, wondering what the guy wanted to say.

"Well, Uncle, my method is the fishing technique from Jiang Taigong's school, called the 'willing fish take the bait' method! So all I need to do is set up the fishing rod, and the rest is up to fate."

Xiao Jiasui was spouting nonsense with a straight face, and the key point is that she did it in a very convincing way, all of which she learned from Ren Yuan.

It's not easy to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things!

"Really?"

Cheng Wanli was taken aback. Judging from this, Xiao Jiahui didn't seem to be lying. No, he couldn't lose to him!

So Cheng Wanli quickly went to check on his fishing rod again.

Sea fishing is indeed a bit different, but Cheng Wanli was lucky today and caught several small fish one after another, but together they probably weighed only three or four pounds.

But compared to Xiao Jiahui's empty side, Cheng Wanli clearly won.

"Xiao boy, it looks like your fishing method has failed you."

With time running out, Cheng Wanli felt confident of victory. Seeing that Xiao Jiasui's side was still empty, he was certain of winning.

Xiao Jiahui was also very happy. It hadn't been easy, and he had finally helped his future father-in-law win!

However, on the surface, he still feigned a mix of doubts, regrets, and other negative emotions to make Cheng Wanli feel more accomplished.

"Wow!"

But just then, suddenly, a large fish that looked to weigh several kilograms leaped out of the water and plunged headfirst into Xiao Jiahui's fishhook!

The fish was so heavy that it almost overturned Xiao Jiahui's carefully laid out fishing rod. Xiao Jiahui quickly got up, controlled the rod, and pulled the fish up.

There's no need to compare. Although Cheng Wanli has more fish, their combined weight is less than half that of this big fish!

So, Hsiao Chia-Sui won this sea fishing trip again!

But isn't this a bit strange? I actually caught a big fish using the Taigong fishing method?

……

Not far from where Xiao Jiahui and Cheng Wanli were fishing, a burly, dark-skinned man was pacing anxiously back and forth, constantly looking around.

"Wow!"

The sound of water rose, and suddenly a shirtless, strong man leaped out of the sea.

"Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother! How did it go? Did the strategist win?"

This person is none other than Ruan Xiao Wu, who has recently been in charge of arranging transportation between Jeju Island and Yangsan!

"We've got this in the bag. In the end, I just threw a big fish weighing about ten pounds onto his hook. How could you possibly lose, strategist?"
