By the lake, Jiang Man held his Fishing Rod and watched the tranquil water without the slightest worry.
As for what was written on the paper, not only Ji Meng but Qiaoyue, Xia Bingcheng, and the others were extremely curious.
Of course, they were even more curious whether this so-called bait would actually work.
