In fact, that was indeed the case. The fish that had been circling back and forth in the water just now all swam toward the center of the water soon after Lin Wanwan left! Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁 The policemen were so anxious that they wished they could jump into the river to stop them, but ultimately, they could only watch as one by one, the fish swam toward the center of the river until they completely disappeared. "Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have brought some fish bait from home to catch them." "No worries, we took a lot of videos. I’m sure of it, these fish look exactly like the ones in the pictures online." "It’s a pity it’s nighttime; we couldn’t see it clearly enough, the water’s surface was too dark." By the time the experts arrived, the fish had long swum away, leaving none behind, but after looking at the photos and videos on the police officers’ phones, they were already certain that these were indeed Yangtze River White Sturgeon! After releasing the Yangtze River White Sturgeon, Lin Wanwan, feeling pleased, took a taxi to the imported supermarket, selected some freshly airlifted North American tuna, and then happily returned to her residence. Although modern sea fish aren’t as tasty as those from the Great Tang, it’s not easy to buy deep-sea tuna in Qiantang County of the Great Tang. Occasionally, if you’re lucky to encounter a sea merchant selling one at the dock, it isn’t something you can always get whenever you want to eat it. Today, Lin Wanwan wanted to eat some, so she had no choice but to buy from the modern times. In the elevator, Lin Wanwan took off her stifling mask, with a smile still on her lips. This time, by saving a species for nature, I did an immeasurably good deed, making this time travel worthwhile. I’ll go back and make a fresh fish sashimi for Grandpa Sun to celebrate. When Lin Wanwan walked out of the elevator, she saw that the door of the apartment 2102 was wide open, with people coming and going, seemingly having guests. Gong Mingyu, with the sharpest eyes, immediately noticed Lin Wanwan who had just returned outside the door, and greeted her, "Wanwan, you’re back?" Originally planning to quietly return to her own room, Lin Wanwan had to stop and walk to the door of 2102, exchanging pleasantries with Gong Mingyu: "Yeah, it’s quite lively here. Do you have friends visiting?" "No, it’s my dad visiting here on a business trip and stopping by to see me," Gong Mingyu’s words had just fallen when a middle-aged man’s pale face appeared in front of Lin Wanwan. Lin Wanwan smiled and greeted him, "Hello, uncle. I’m Lin Wanwan, Gong Mingyu’s neighbor." Unexpectedly, upon seeing her, the man was stunned like a stone pillar, took a step back, and showed a strange expression, as if he’d seen a ghost. The people in the room also sensed something odd, all looking at Gong Mingyu’s father, then at Lin Wanwan. Lin Wanwan frowned slightly, and Zhu Xinyi, sitting on the sofa, cautiously called out, "Uncle?" Only then did Gong Mingyu’s father regain his senses, forced a smile, and said to Lin Wanwan, "Hello, hello. I’m Xiao Yu’s father. Thank you for looking after Xiao Yu." "Hehe." Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, her smile already fading. The middle-aged man’s reaction upon seeing her was strange, and she felt a sense of puzzlement in her heart. "You guys carry on; I’m heading back. Inspiration struck me, and I need to go write. Good night." The three girls in the room all bade Lin Wanwan good night. Lin Wanwan opened the door to her own home, leaned against it once she stepped inside, pondering the earlier scene. She didn’t think she looked scary at all, so why did Gong Mingyu’s father look at her with such an accusatory gaze, and even step back in shock? It was strange. Lin Wanwan carefully recalled her 23 years of life and found no connection to the other party, so why did he react this way upon seeing her? She didn’t believe her appearance could frighten anyone; she couldn’t figure it out after thinking it over. In that case, Lin Wanwan temporarily shelved the thought. After all, he was just the neighbor’s father. She would only stay here for at most another half month and might never encounter these people again. Whatever the reason might be, there would be no further interaction. Lin Wanwan went to the bathroom to fetch a mop and wiped away the water stains on the floor, then summoned the Space-Time Gate. Before pushing the door, Lin Wanwan stared at the glowing Space-Time Gate on the folding fan for a while, muttering, "I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but why do I feel that the door’s color has deepened again?" Unfortunately, the camera couldn’t capture the image of the door, otherwise, she could compare them. With a hint of doubt, Lin Wanwan pushed open the Space-Time Gate and returned to the Great Tang. Lin Wanwan carried a large net of fish into the bamboo grove and came out holding a basin of ice fish meat. As bizarre as it was, the loyal servant Kun Lun showed no surprise. Never mind a basin of ice and fish, even if his mistress brought out a human head, he wouldn’t bat an eyelid—unless his mistress was injured and bleeding. "Let’s go, back to Ge Xian Temple." Lin Wanwan jumped onto the carriage. Kun Lun responded, driving the carriage back to the mountain gate of Ge Xian Temple, leaving the carriage in the village at the foot of the mountain, and climbed up the mountain path one after the other. Xiao Chong had left Qiantang for Mao County ten days ago, as his job as County Magistrate didn’t allow him to be away for long. Neither the Ta Mountain Dam nor daily government affairs could do without this busy man. Cao Xian, however, remained at Ge Xian Temple, bringing his little disciple Lu Zhao Lin to recite poetry and read every day, while Qingyu was also sent by Lin Wanwan to audit the lessons. As a return favor, Lin Wanwan took care of all three meals a day for Cao Xian and Lu Zhao Lin. Hua Nong’s culinary skills had conquered everyone here from the first day she came up the mountain. It was too normal for the people of the Great Tang, who had never eaten stir-fried dishes, to be conquered by the heavy flavors of modern dishes. Even the immortal Sun couldn’t help eating happily while criticizing that the food was not healthy enough. Only the ordinary little Daoists didn’t have the good fortune to join in for a meal, otherwise, they also would have loved to taste. During dinner, Lin Wanwan presented a large basin of iced tuna slices on the dining table—now, everyone ate around a large rectangular dining table without separate servings. Old Sun and Old Cao each picked up a slice of tuna sashimi, dipped it in fermented soybean and mustard, and put it in their mouths. After swallowing, Old Cao asked Lin Wanwan, "What kind of fish is this? It’s tender, smooth, and very delicious." Lin Wanwan replied with a smile: "It’s tuna, a deep-sea fish. I saw some for sale at the pier and bought some to bring back." "Tuna? I’m ignorant and inexperienced; it’s my first time hearing about it. Old Sun, do you know?" Sun Simiao slowly swallowed the third piece of sashimi in his mouth and replied, "This is also the first time for this old Daoist to taste this fish." Lin Wanwan explained with a smile: "Because Chang’an and Yangzhou are not by the sea, so naturally you won’t find it in the workshops. Both of you immortals have eaten river fish before, which can’t be compared to sea fish. I just don’t like eating river fish; the muddy taste is too strong. We, who live by the sea, just love our seafood." "Yangzhou not being by the sea means missing out on such a delicious opportunity," Cao Xian lamented. Sun Simiao chuckled, "And the same goes for Chang’an." Lin Wanwan’s eyes flickered as she said, "Ancestor, why don’t you come with me to live in Mao County for a while? Our Hou Tao Lin clan now lives by fishing and often catches these delicious fish. I guarantee you’ll have your fill then! Besides sashimi, you can also enjoy the freshest drunken shrimp, spiced crabs, fish gelatin, and cured fish, so many delicious dishes."
