While a melodramatic scene unfolded in the Imperial Capital, Huo Sining was as busy as a spinning top: first, she had to catch up on half a month's worth of school lessons, then tend to her grandfather's illness, supply the Xianyu Shop, and provide the Jadeite raw materials for Bai Yishan's workshop. Most importantly, S City's annual fish fighting competition was about to start.
Soon after returning to S City, Huo Sining received an invitation to the fish fighting competition, scheduled for the last day of November.
The six koi that Huo Sining raised were now split among three aquarium tanks because, in just a few short months, they had grown rapidly like they were on steroids, each now measuring twenty centimeters in length.
Koi are naturally large fish species, with some even growing to two or three meters, so Huo Sining didn't find it particularly surprising.
