Covering the Heavens: Fishing for the Heavens Starting from the Great Accomplished Holy Body

The car drove away from the riverbank and merged into the traffic flow in the city.

Ye Fan drove very steadily, but Li Qingchen curiously looked at the interior of the car and asked questions every now and then.

During their casual conversation, Ye Fan discovered that although Li Qingchen seemed lively, she was not very familiar with many of the details of ordinary people's lives, and her questions sometimes seemed a bit "out of touch with reality".

But it wasn't the kind of spoiled ignorance; rather, it was more like a sense of novelty.

He shook his head, thinking he was overthinking it.

After driving for more than two hours, we arrived at the agreed meeting point, a hotel near the parking lot of a scenic area at the foot of Mount Tai.

About twenty people, men and women, had gathered at the hotel entrance. Most of them were well-dressed and looked like successful business people. They were chatting and laughing in small groups, creating a lively atmosphere.

Ye Fan parked the car and walked over with Li Qingchen.

"Hey, Ye Fan, you've finally arrived!"

A slightly overweight man wearing glasses was the first to spot Ye Fan and greeted him loudly. He was Zhou Yi, Ye Fan's class monitor from university.

"Zhou Yi, you guys arrived pretty early."

Ye Fan responded with a smile.

"We just arrived recently."

A cool, clear voice rang out, and a woman in a beige trench coat with exquisite makeup walked over. It was Li Xiaoman.

Her gaze swept over Ye Fan, then landed on Li Qingchen, a strange meaning flashing in her eyes.

"Xiaoman, it's been a long time."

Ye Fan nodded, his attitude natural and his expression unreadable.

"It's been a long time."

Li Xiaoman's eyes flickered slightly, her gaze lingering on Li Qingchen for a long time. "And this is?"

Other classmates also gathered around, including familiar faces like Wang Ziwen and Zhang Wenchang. Everyone looked at Li Qingchen with curiosity.

"This is my elder relative's younger sister, named Li Qingchen. She came along to have some fun."

Ye Fan introduced, "Qingchen, these are all my college classmates."

Li Qingchen waved to everyone with a graceful and generous smile: "Hello everyone, sorry to bother you!"

Her clear voice and natural demeanor immediately won her a lot of goodwill.

"No, no, we wouldn't mind at all. Our little sister is so beautiful; we couldn't be happier!"

Wang Ziwen, being an outgoing person, was the first to respond with a smile.

"Yeah, Ye Fan, that's not fair! Why didn't you say you had such a pretty sister sooner!"

Zhang Wenchang also joined in the laughter.

"How old is your younger sister? Is she still in school?"

Several female classmates also gathered around and asked curiously.

......

Everyone started asking questions all at once, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Li Qingchen was not intimidated and answered all the questions.

Although she answered some questions vaguely, she always managed to cleverly steer the conversation away with another topic or give an innocent and adorable smile that made it hard to delve deeper.

Li Xiaoman stood to the side.

She glanced at Li Qingchen, who was surrounded by the crowd, and then at Ye Fan, who remained calm. Her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything more.

Several of Ye Fan's close male classmates gathered around him, winking and saying, "Wow, Ye Fan, where did you find such a beautiful girl? Is she really a girl?"

"She really is my younger sister; my elders asked me to take care of her."

Ye Fan said helplessly, "Stop making trouble!"

"I understand, I understand!"

The group chuckled, clearly not believing it.

At this moment, Lin Jia, who was dressed fashionably and had a beautiful face, also walked over.

She looked Li Qingchen up and down, then smiled and said to Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, your sister has a really special air about her, like a little fairy."

"Hello, Sister Lin Jia."

Li Qingchen immediately called out sweetly.

Lin Jia smiled and agreed, then looked at Ye Fan and Zhou Yi: "Everyone's here. Shall we check in first, or go straight to the mountain?"

Zhou Yi checked the time: "Let's just climb the mountain. Let's get up there early and have lunch on the mountain."

"By the way, let's distribute the room keys first, and then everyone can put their luggage in the car or leave it at the hotel front desk."

With no objections from anyone, they distributed the room keys, packed light, and prepared to head to the mountain entrance.

Li Qingchen naturally followed Ye Fan, looking around curiously.

"Brother Ye, which path should we take?"

"Let's start from Zhongtianmen, take a cable car for a while, and then climb the main peak. This will save you energy, and the scenery is also quite nice."

"Oh~~"

......

The large group headed towards the entrance of the scenic area.

At the foot of Mount Tai, tourists thronged the area, and the air was filled with the mixed aromas of incense and food, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

While chatting with his classmates, Ye Fan kept an eye on Li Qingchen, worried that she might get lost.

This girl adapted quickly and soon chatted with Lin Jia and several other cheerful female classmates, occasionally letting out a crisp laugh.

As Ye Fan walked, his gaze casually swept over the management booth of a parking lot by the roadside, and he suddenly paused.

Next to the guard post, beside a stream that flows down from the mountain with relatively clear water, sat a person wearing a blue-gray security guard uniform.

The man was holding a green bamboo pole.

The fishing line extends from the bamboo pole and disappears into the stream.

Although the man had his back to us and was wearing a security guard's hat, his posture and the bamboo pole...

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.

No way?

He subconsciously stopped and said to the classmate next to him, "You guys go ahead, I think I see someone I know, I'll go say hello."

After saying that, he walked quickly toward the guard post and the stream.

The closer I got, the more familiar that figure became.

As you approach, the person seems to sense someone getting closer and slightly turns their head.

Beneath the brim of the hat, a face that Ye Fan knew all too well—a face with a gentle, lazy air about it—was revealed.

It's Uncle Li!

At this moment, he was wearing an ill-fitting security guard uniform with the cuffs rolled up, holding the green bamboo fishing rod firmly in his hand, his gaze fixed on the float on the stream.

The posture was exactly the same as it was by the cold river.

Ye Fan opened his mouth, but it took him a while to find his voice: "Uncle Li... what are you doing here, and dressed like that?"

Li Qingshan then turned his head completely.

Upon seeing Ye Fan, a knowing smile immediately appeared on his face: "Oh, little Ye, you're here so soon? I forgot to tell you, your Uncle Li recently got a temporary job as the parking lot attendant. Since I've got nothing else to do, I thought I'd cast my line a couple of times!"

He pointed to the small guard post next to him and then shook the bamboo pole in his hand.

Ye Fan looked at the brand-new security guard uniform he was wearing, and then at the familiar fishing rod, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

From the riverbank to the parking lot at the foot of Mount Tai.

Uncle Li's dedication to fishing truly transcends mountains and rivers!

"You...you really do seem to catch fish wherever you go..."

Ye Fan was both amused and exasperated.

"It's a hobby!"

Li Qingshan said matter-of-factly, then glanced at the group of classmates who were looking around not far behind Ye Fan, "Take your sister out and have some fun. Be careful while hiking. Oh, and by the way..."

He seemed to suddenly remember something and pointed to the parking lot next door: "Remember to park here when you come back, I'll give you a 20% discount on parking fees."
