"Third Uncle, don’t talk big. Let’s see how many sparrows you can catch!"
"Yeah, Dad, wait until you’ve caught the sparrows before you brag!"
"Third Uncle, keep it down, you’re scaring the sparrows away!"
Facing the disbelief from a group of kids, Yuan Laidi felt it necessary to show them what he was capable of.
"You little brats, soon you’ll see what a real expert is!"
As one of the two hunting experts in the Yuan Family, Yuan Laidi didn’t think catching a sparrow was beyond him. Even though he hadn’t used this method before, a single method can work for many situations.
Soon, many sparrows appeared around the bamboo basket, some hopping under it to peck at the millet scattered on the ground.
Slowly, more and more sparrows gathered under the basket.
Yuan Laidi seized the moment and suddenly yanked the rope in his hand, convinced that he was about to make a big haul.
However, disaster struck!
Just as Yuan Laidi pulled the rope, the sparrows beneath the basket seemed suddenly startled and scattered in all directions.
Yuan Laidi pulled the rope at exactly the wrong moment.
The tree branch fell, the basket dropped, but not a single sparrow was caught inside.
"That was a mistake!"
"It’s my first time playing, I’m not skilled yet!"
Thinking he would reap a big reward, only to catch not a single sparrow, was quite embarrassing.
Hearing Yuan Laidi’s excuses, the group of kids all responded in unison.
Yuan Laidi felt even more frustrated.
He truly didn’t expect not to trap even one sparrow. Discover more novels at novelFɪre.net
"Let’s try again, try again. If I can’t catch one this time, I’ll treat you all to something good!"
Yuan Laidi felt he needed to defend his reputation, to show these little runts what he was made of.
Unfortunately, fate had no intention of giving Yuan Laidi a chance to save face.
Over at South Mountain, Yuan Wangdi came out of the woods holding Yuan Bao in one arm and the injured Golden Eagle in the other.
Yuan Shouyi, watching from South Mountain, cried out the moment he saw this scene.
With his own son undermining him, Yuan Laidi felt even more depressed!
If Yuan Shouyi hadn’t shouted, Yuan Laidi thought he still had time to save face.
But now, all the kids were running towards Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Bao.
Leading the charge, surprisingly, was Yuan Laidi’s own son, Yuan Shouyi.
"This brat, doesn’t he know to think about his old man a little? Really needs some discipline!"
Yuan Laidi considered taking some time to properly educate his son.
However, when Yuan Laidi clearly saw his second brother holding the big eagle, he forgot about educating his son.
His niece was truly amazing!
She had saved an eagle before, and now another one!
What kind of miraculous luck was this?
"What kind of mystic were the fortune tellers our ancestors encountered, to be so powerful?"
Yuan Laidi took big strides and quickly caught up with the running kids.
"Second Brother, you really found it, huh!"
Yuan Laidi approached and finally saw the big eagle Yuan Wangdi was holding, realizing it wasn’t just an eagle, it was a Golden Eagle!
"Second Brother, is this a Golden Eagle?"
"Yes, a Golden Eagle!"
Yuan Wangdi proudly raised an eyebrow at Yuan Laidi, "Aren’t you surprised?"
Yuan Laidi rolled his eyes at his second brother, "With Jiaojiao around, wasn’t this bound to happen?"
No matter how miraculous the events involving his niece were, they were mere routine, and he had to stay calm!
