Chapter 2009: Invitations

After sending the guards away, Xiao Chen did not rest, and designed a big boat by himself to facilitate their actions on the long river in the future.

There are dryads in the Umeng Valley, and these dryads don't have much fighting power, but they do have a great ability to make utensils out of wood and repair broken buildings. When repairing the Umeng Valley, it was not the broken doors, windows, tables and chairs that were repaired by these dryads.

Dryads can't leave Wumeng Valley, and before they successfully transform into humans, they can only move within the range of Wumeng Valley in their own form, so these dryads have an exceptionally good attitude towards Xiao Chen.

Hearing that Xiao Chen was going to build a ship, several experienced old dryads in the forest got together, and in just one day, they built the ships that Xiao Chen needed, which was no different from what Xiao Chen drew on paper.

At this time, it has been almost ten days since Xiao Chen and the others came to Wumeng Valley, and it has been a while since the iron wolf and other demon beasts left. The rest of the people actually wanted to ask Xiao Chen about his plans, but they were prevaricated by Xiao Chen every time.

After a long time, everyone also found out that Xiao Chen didn't like to talk about this issue very much, so they all consciously didn't mention it in front of Xiao Chen again.

At noon, several people gathered together to drink and eat, and the food was brought from outside before, and it was directly packed into the storage bag with the tableware, and it was still steaming when it was taken out.

Speaking of which, as soon as they came to the Umeng Valley, they had to deal with all kinds of things, and they didn't get together properly, and now it was almost ten days before everyone had time to get together and have a good meal.

"This is what I brought back from Sun Moon City, and their wine is also a must, you can taste it. Yuan Jin greeted everyone excitedly.

He had been coveting the food in his storage bag for a long time, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to rest and eat before, so he endured it, and now he couldn't help it.

Xiao Chen took the wine handed by Yuan Jin, took a sip, and nodded in appreciation: "Good wine!"

"Hehe, that's not it!" Yuan Jin looked proud, "You don't look at who chose it, the wine that my dignified young master of the original family chose, can it be bad?"

"Yes, yes, the former young master is mighty, you hurry up and eat the vegetables. Phoenix was afraid that Yuan Jin would not stop nagging, so he hurriedly put several chopsticks in the Yuan Jin bowl.

Yuan Jin glanced at the phoenix with a smile, and noticed that the phoenix was still holding a vermilion bird in his hand when he was eating, and when he heard what it was called, he couldn't help but say, "Why are you still taking it with you for dinner?"

Phoenix glanced at Yuan Jin, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Jin touched his nose, "Okay! You can do anything." ”

After talking to Phoenix, Yuan Jin suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something, and he swept his eyes around the room, but found nothing.

Forgetting something, but never remembering it, Yuan Jin drank several glasses of wine in irritation, until he drank all the pots of wine and everyone was full, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.

"Xiao Chen, where's my tiger cub, where has my tiger cub gone, why haven't I seen it for days?"

Yuan Jin grabbed Xiao Chen's shoulders and asked with a pale face, involuntarily thinking of the poor little tiger cub being bullied by a group of demon beasts or running away where he got lost, completely forgetting the huge size in Xiao Chen's room that day, and the fact that a breath could push him away.

When Yuan Jin said this, the others also seemed to have been pressed the switch of memory, and only then did they realize that they seemed to have not seen tiger cubs for a few days.

Everyone asked Xiao Chen where the tiger cub had gone, but Xiao Chen was puzzled by another question at this time.

The tiger cubs left together from the day the iron wolf left, a full seven days, it stands to reason that Immortal Punishment and Yuan Jin and others, there will be at least a few days when they will notice that something is wrong, but no one mentioned it.

If Yuan Jin hadn't mentioned it just now, these people probably wouldn't have found out that the tiger cub had left until the tiger cub came back.

This matter was vaguely familiar, Xiao Chen thought carefully in his mind for a while, and quickly recalled the last time this kind of 'amnesia' appeared.

It's not that he has amnesia, he always remembers it clearly, but the people around him seem to be unable to remember it as long as it takes a long time. If no one reminds you, you don't remember it.

"The tiger cub has been sleeping lately. Xiao Chen said casually.

Yuan Jin muttered, "Qiu Mian, why haven't I heard of it?"

The rest nodded, indicating that they understood, and did not ask too many questions. And after Yuan Jin muttered those two sentences, he didn't continue to mutter, but talked about the rest of the things.

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously wanted to call the White Tiger in the Divine Sea, but he thought of something, and before he could speak, he gave up this idea again.

In addition to inviting alchemists from all over the Heavenly Saint Kingdom to come to exchange, the Alchemist Exchange will also invite the city lords of nearby cities to visit, even if the city lord can't come, he will also send people to give big gifts.

Wumeng Valley had been vacant for several years because of the position of city lord, and he had not participated in the alchemist exchange meeting for several years, and when he heard that a new city lord had taken office this year, an invitation card was quickly sent from the exchange meeting, inviting Xiao Chen to participate in the alchemist exchange meeting as the city lord of Wumeng Valley.

At the same time, there was also an invitation to participate in the exchange meeting as an alchemist, this invitation was not signed, and there was no explanation, if it was not specified to be sent to Wumeng Valley, others would think that it was sent by mistake.

And when I opened the invitation, the line about the alchemist's name was also empty, and Xiao Chen's name was not written.

When Ada saw it, he couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't this invitation sent by mistake?" ”

Yuan Jin closed his fan and patted Ada's head, "Stupid you, this must have been sent by Zhao Wouji, the city lord of Ningyang City." ”

Ada was still a little confused, and flipped through the invitation card in confusion, but did not find any information, and muttered: "This, how can this be sent by Zao Wou-ki? Obviously, there is no information on it." ”

To prevent Yuan Jin from hating iron and steel, Xiao Chen first explained: "The only people who knew that I was going to participate in the exchange meeting as an alchemist were Zhao Wouji and others, and when I was in Ningyang City that day, Zhao Wouji didn't know about my deeds in Sun Moon City, so naturally he didn't take me seriously." Later, I guessed that he must have known who I was, and he didn't dare to offend me easily, but we had an appointment beforehand, and he sent me a blank invitation and gave me the right to choose. ”

Fortunately, Ada is not too stupid, Xiao Chen mentioned this, he also understood, and suddenly realized: "Oh! I understand, what he means is that if you are sure that you still want to compete with him, write your name and go to the exchange meeting as an alchemist, if you don't want to compete with him, then don't write it, he will definitely not talk nonsense about this matter, then it is equivalent to already understanding, right?"

Xiao Chen nodded, "That's right, that's what it means." He wanted to tell me that this matter is up to me and him, and it's up to me to choose. ”

"And what do you choose, boss?" asked Ada in confusion.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "You guess?"
