"She loved to go to the lakeside to pick flowers, but we didn't often let her go, she always snuck off."

"Was Lv Teng by her side then?"

"Yes, Lv Teng must have gotten to know the Mantis Clan people then."

After hearing his words, Chen Ang roughly understood what was going on.

Pushing the paper on the table to Qingshan, he asked, "Uncle, can you tell me how to get to that lake?"

"Are you going to take Qing Mei to the lakeside?"

"Yes, after I take her away, you arrange the personnel, try to set everything up to look like it did when she was young. We will bring her back to that scene, and then have Lv Teng tell the truth. This is the best way to untie Qing Mei's knot."

Understanding what was going on, Qingshan nodded vigorously.

"Good, rest assured, I will definitely try my best to restore the scene at that time. Chen Ang, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, she is the person I hold in the palm of my heart, I am willing to do anything for her."

Hearing Chen Ang's words, even a grown man like Qingshan was moved.

He had seen Chen Ang's actions with his own eyes, and had seen him pour his heart and soul into Qing Mei. As Qing Mei's father, he was extremely gratified!

"Chen Ang, after this matter, get married as soon as possible! I am at ease leaving Qing Mei to you!"

Hearing this, Chen Ang pursed his lips and did not speak.

Unexpectedly not getting his answer, Qingshan hurriedly asked, "What, has this matter changed?"

"The matter hasn't changed, I will marry Qing Mei as my wife, but the time might have to be pushed back a bit."

"Why?"

"Because both the Demon and Monster clans are eyeing my Human Clan covetously. If I hold a grand wedding now, it will definitely invite retaliation from the Demon and Monster clans. When the time comes, a happy event will turn into a funeral, which is not good for any clan, and I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"Afraid that once Qing Mei becomes my wife, the clans that have grudges against me will target her and the Butterfly Clan. This is a matter for my Human Clan, I don't want to implicate the innocent."

Understanding what he meant, Qingshan sighed heavily.

He was also a clan leader, naturally understanding Chen Ang's concerns.

Thinking about it carefully, he could empathize even more with his current distress.

He wasn't worried that their marriage would change, he just felt sorry for him...

"Chen Ang, you're right, now is indeed not a good time. I was too anxious just now, let's listen to your arrangements. Anyway, we have recognized you as our son-in-law, you can get married whenever."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang hurriedly stood up to thank him.

He had a premonition that Qingshan wouldn't mind, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

For this point, he was truly grateful to him.

"Chen Ang, we are all one family, don't be polite. If the Human Clan needs me in the future, just say so, my Butterfly Clan will definitely be duty-bound!"

After finishing the discussion about delaying the wedding date with Qingshan, Chen Ang went straight to find Qing Mei.

Seeing her sitting alone in the pavilion, he mischievously covered her eyes from behind.

With her vision suddenly going black, Qing Mei couldn't help but chuckle.

"Chen Ang, I smelled your scent a long time ago."

Hearing this, Chen Ang raised his eyebrows.

Raising his sleeve to smell it, he didn't smell any strange scent on himself.

Seeing him like this, Qing Mei said with a smile, "You have a scent that makes people feel especially at ease, others can't smell it, only I can."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ang smiled and touched her head.

"Why are you sitting here? Are you bored?"

"Mm, with nothing to do, it is quite boring."

Qing Mei rested her chin on her hands, her eyes a bit vacant.

"Since you're bored, do you want to go out and play?"

"Go out and play? Where to?"

"Mm... I want to go to a place with mountains and water, preferably somewhere we can catch fish. Is there such a place near the Butterfly Clan?"

"Yes! There's a lake an hour away, there are plenty of fish there!"

When saying this, Qing Mei's eyes clearly brightened.

"Have you been there?"

"Of course, I've even caught fish with my own hands."

"What did you catch them with?"

"Hehe, small tools I made myself, shall I teach you?"

Seeing her enthusiastic appearance, Chen Ang nodded directly.

The two came to the backyard together, just in time to run into Wan Shitong and the others.

Seeing them practicing, Chen Ang smiled and waved at them.

"Stop practicing, let the future Sect Master's wife teach you a few moves."

Hearing this, Wan Shitong and the others also became interested.

"Teach us a few moves? Does the Butterfly Clan have any secret manuals?"

"Why so many words, just learn if she teaches you."

After the words fell, Chen Ang and Qing Mei looked at each other, both with mysterious expressions.

Seeing them like this, Wan Shitong and the others became completely interested, rolling up their sleeves and stepping forward.

"Sect Master's wife, what do you need us to do?"

"Mm... you go get me some thread, and prepare some wood and bamboo, I'll go get some cotton cloth, and we'll meet here."

Hearing her words, Wan Shitong and the others were a bit confused.

With thread and bamboo, what is this for?

In doubt, An Xinyi looked up at Chen Ang.

When their eyes met, Chen Ang nodded imperceptibly.

Understanding Chen Ang's meaning, An Xinyi hurriedly pulled Wan Shitong.

"If the Sect Master's wife wants us to prepare, then go prepare, don't talk nonsense, hurry up."

After speaking, An Xinyi and Huang Yu pulled him away directly.

"Chen Ang, I'll go prepare the cotton cloth, you clear out an open space. There are many of us, and we need to make many tools, so make the open space a bit larger, we can work together in a while."

"Good, I'll prepare it, you go find the things."

After nodding in agreement, Qing Mei ran off happily.

Left alone in place, Chen Ang cleared out a large open space with nimble hands and feet.

He had just finished when An Xinyi ran back.

"Boss, are we making fishing nets?"

"Yes, you guessed it?"

"I guessed it when I heard the tools needed. Qing Mei's way is too simple, can I prepare some other things?"

"You can, but don't be too deliberate, don't let her find out."

"Rest assured, I will never steal her spotlight, I will take the things out bit by bit, slowly attracting her attention, letting her take the initiative to approve of my method, you can put your heart in your stomach."

After everyone returned to the open space, Qing Mei stood in the very center.

Picking up a few bamboo strips, she demonstrated to everyone enthusiastically.

"See? First like this, then like this, then thread the cotton cloth through, and then wrap a few lines around it, and that's it."

Watching her demonstration, everyone nodded, burying their heads in hard work, following what she said.

Chen Ang sat on the side, just watching her with a smile, as if admiring some beautiful scenery, even his eyes were filled with smiles.

Half an hour later, the finished products gradually emerged.

Looking at the things in his hands, Wan Shitong finally realized.

"Qing Mei, if I'm not mistaken, what you taught us to make are fishing nets, right?"

Hearing his words, Qing Mei nodded with a smile.
