"Whoa! What a big golden carp, and it's a pair. Brother Xu, how's my luck?"
Zhu Huai'an exclaimed as if he had caught the fish himself.
Xu Qing looked at one carp hanging from the hook and the other bound to the fishing line with a cloth strip, completely speechless.
So Ascendant Fuluan's "meeting the dragon" referred to this dragon of a person, Zhu Huai'an.
Seeing the haul of the golden carp, Zhu Huai'an hurriedly called Eunuch Sun over to unhook the fish.
The act was thorough; to prevent any unusual scene on the water, the old Eunuch Sun didn't even use Gang Qi to shield himself but jumped onto the shore all wet. Upon the Emperor's call, he circulated his Qi to evaporate the water from his clothes and ran toward the pier.
"Eunuch Sun, what's with your clothes?"
Xu Qing glanced at the cloth strip binding the golden carp and then at the torn hem of Eunuch Sun's garment.
