Chapter 826: Dinner
That night, a large dinner was also held in the Nine Shades Palace.
Those who failed in the primary election packed their bags and left in the afternoon. This is the end of their pre-competition training, but there is still a long way to go. If you are determined, you can continue to participate in the assessment of passers-by, and you will not be able to enter the Tiangong Gate before the beginning.
After this period of eating and living together, a deep friendship has been established between the candidates who stayed behind - of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon.
Those who rank high on the recommendation list always have no shortage of people to talk and laugh about, as if everyone is his friend. After all, they are the most promising to enter the Heavenly Palace Gate, so everyone naturally has to stammer.
Looking at this scene alone, this circle seems to be warm and abnormal. But behind the glamour on the surface, there are countless cold benches piled up. No matter what field you are in, there are only a handful of people who can stand at the top and enjoy the attention of all directions.
Luo Shenxing and Leng Qi, who were neglected during the assessment, are naturally still transparent people at this time. But at the table, they all sat quietly in their seats, did not participate in those flattering activities, and each had a plan in their hearts.
As one of the popular candidates, although Sikong Sheng failed to get a special push, his performance has always kept him firmly in the center of the limelight. After clinking glasses with everyone without refusal, he flipped the chopsticks casually, and knocked the dishes again and again, although he was talking to himself, his voice was deliberately loud:
"Alas, those young masters and young ladies don't take the test with us in the assessment, and they don't even eat with us. Cultivation has to be hidden, and the face must be hidden!
These words have expressed the hearts of many people. The young masters and young ladies who never showed up in the Nine Shadows Hall were really packaged too mysterious. If at first, this half-concealment can still make everyone curious, but if it is too covered, it will inevitably be disgusting.
After all, everyone is going to enter the Tiangong Gate together, they are all the same candidates, how noble are you, we don't even have the qualifications to meet you? But having said that, no one dares to agree with it directly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Mu Hansha, who was sitting opposite, raised his head. As the Holy Envoy of the Nine Shadows, he can also be regarded as a supervisor on the field, "Beware of getting into trouble." β
Sikong Sheng snorted angrily, and replied casually: "Know, don't I just complain a few words? They refuse to come, can I still tie them up?"
"Hey, your husband isn't coming either?" retracted his gaze, he raised his elbow and bumped Jiang Caini beside him again, "It's rare to have a dinner, and I won't say I'll accompany you!"
Although Jiang Caini glared back, she felt comfortable listening to such ridicule, and there was a smile in her eyes that could not be hidden.
"What's so rare about a group of people eating together? Of course, it's romantic to have two people alone together for a candlelight dinner!" Then, not to be outdone, she raised her arm and bumped back, "What do you know?"
"Nine Venerables, he should have gone to deliver food to Miss Bo Liang. Mu Hansha watched the two of them go toe-for-tat and explained kindly.
"As soon as Miss Bo Liang cultivates, she often forgets to eat, so the Nine Venerable said, send it to her while it's hot. He also prepared a hand warmer bag that he could put on his knees at night if he felt cold. β
Sikong Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he glanced at Jiang Caini, and exaggeratedly admired:
"Tut-tut, what a sweetness! Looks like your husband is going to have a candlelight dinner with someone else!"
"Hey, wait, Miss Bo Liang, Feng Bo Liang, just that famous golden branch and jade leaf?" As if he suddenly came back to his senses, Sikong Sheng's face was serious, but his eyes were full of cunning to watch a play, and he patted Jiang Caini in a big way, "You're finished, it seems that even the status of the side room is not guaranteed." β
Jiang Caini's face became more and more heavy, listening to the constant provocations beside her, and finally she raised her foot angrily and stepped on the surface of his foot.
Sikong Sheng's expression froze suddenly, and his body seemed to have been pressed the pause button. It took him a moment before he jerked his hand up and grabbed the glass in front of him.
Jiang Caini's movements were faster than him, and she directly snatched the wine glass, brought it to the top of his head threateningly, and tilted it.
"Hey, truce, truce!" Sikong Sheng raised his hand to stop him, smiling flatteringly. Jiang Caini snorted coldly and relaxed the strength of holding the cup.
said that it was too late, it was fast, and at this moment, Sikong Sheng suddenly pushed backhand, and the whole glass of wine was poured on Jiang Caini. Not only did she wet her hair, but even the gorgeous dress she had carefully prepared was stained with alcohol.
Seeing that the opportunity was also fast, Sikong Sheng made a successful sneak attack, and immediately jumped up from the chair and avoided outside the long table. And Jiang Caini also chased after her crazy with a terrifying expression like she was about to kill after her anger after her.
The two surrounded the long table, one fled, the other chased, and along the way, many innocent candidates were hung on their bodies, and the scene was chaotic.
In the corner of the long table, Jin Siqi quietly looked at the two people who were chasing, and a special brilliance flashed in his eyes.
Is this even if it is one thing to one thing......
Speaking of which, she has never seen her senior sister look so out of shape. But she has a lot more realism than the "perfect princess" who will always win.
Beside her, Meng Zhao kept putting vegetables in her bowl.
"Siqi, come, eat more, you see you are so thin. β
Jin Siqi retracted his gaze, looked at the rice bowls that had been piled up in front of him, and smiled dryly: "I've had enough, you can eat it yourself." β
Meng Zhao still looked enthusiastic: "It's okay, my mother said, to be a man is to be able to take care of people, and you must not let girls go hungry!"
When he finally sandwiched all the meals on the table, he lay beside Jin Siqi with great interest, and said repeatedly:
"Hey, Siqi, this time we all passed the primary election, and when we have a chance in the future, let's come to my house to play?"
"Our country is known as the land of food. If you come, I will definitely treat you well! I told my mother a few days ago that I met a very nice girl, and she asked me to invite you to play!"
This boy seems to be so energetic forever. An idea popped into his head for a moment, and there was never a quiet time.
Although he was simple and shy when he first met, as he gradually got acquainted, he found that he was more talkative than anyone else. And his mood is always written on his face, and there is no need to guess. Compared with those children who love to put on a show, getting along with him is a simple happiness.
Jin Siqi also knew very well in her heart that she was a little melancholy and silent, and if no one took the initiative to talk to her, she could go all day without saying a word. Meng Zhao worked so hard to find a topic, probably trying to make himself happy. But the more this happened, the more she felt guilty and felt that she was not worthy of his efforts.
"I may not be as good as you think. Jin Siqi lowered his gaze, and his tone also deepened.
"How could it be!" Meng Zhao hurriedly retorted, "My mother said that a real bad girl will never say that she is a bad girl." So Siqi must be a good girl!"
Jin Siqi smiled bitterly, Meng Zhao didn't give up, and even directly lied to Jiao: "Come and play, okay Siqi? My mother also wants to meet you!"
Jin Siqi had nothing to say, and reluctantly smiled: "You are very filial." β
This casual sentence made Meng Zhao excited again: "Siqi, you are so good! Everyone else thinks that I listen to my mother for everything, I don't have my own opinions, only you understand me!" Overjoyed, he directly shook her hand.
Jin Siqi's brain was shocked. Why, why are the words he and Senior Brother Gu always say so similar......
"You're very understanding and comfortable with you. β
This is what Senior Brother Gu said at the beginning. Although they are two different types, one is steady and the other is simple, but facing him, they always remind themselves of Senior Brother Gu.
The same that comes to mind...... And those unbearable pasts.
On the day he sent the healing elixir for himself, he asked for his own contact information. After that, he would often talk to himself and tell himself jokes. I will say hello in the morning and evening, and when it cools down, I will remind myself to add clothes, almost meticulously.
Jin Siqi sensitively saw his thoughts, and she also had a good impression of this kind and considerate little boy. It's just that she is really not ready to accept a new relationship again. She was even more worried that she would only bring harm to them, just like Senior Brother Gu back then......
Almost subconsciously, Jin Siqi quickly withdrew his hand, not noticing the injury that flashed in Meng Zhao's eyes.
On the other side, Huangfu Li took a sip of wine indifferently, turned his eyes, and just saw Sikong Sheng being forced into a corner by Jiang Caini and kicked hard.
"This, it shouldn't be within the scope of the hall's care' for me......" Huang Fuli thought so, and continued to eat without caring for himself.
On the way, Mu Hansha would discuss cultivation problems with him from time to time, and Huangfu Li also patiently answered them. It's always good to be able to exchange more experiences and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses before the formal assessment.
A little later, he received a message from Shen Antong.
"The primaries are over, right? I'm sure you're on the list, and remember to treat you the next time we meet!"
There are a lot of daily trivial things in the message, and Huang Fuli doesn't have the patience to read them one by one.
"Also, I recently signed up for a training institution in the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, and I'm about to leave, let's wait for the time of the assessment^o^!
Through the screen, it seems that you can see the smiling face of the little devil.
Shen Antong is the quirky girl in the training class at the beginning, and she has also been a male and female prefect with herself...... To be honest, her character is really unforgettable.
But I didn't expect that she dared to sign up for a training institution, it was really good that the scar forgot the pain.
On the eve of the Tiangongmen examination, many training institutions have emerged in various countries to serve those candidates who do not have recommended places and are about to participate as passers-by. It is often the suzerains of some big forces who start it spontaneously. They took out the precious cheats from the treasury and collected a large amount of money for the candidates to practice.
This is to earn high tuition, and secondly, if one of the candidates sponsored by himself is successfully selected in the future, it can be regarded as a good relationship in advance. Maybe, people will soar in the future?
However, in any case, hell like the one who secretly made containers in the name of training classes should not appear again for the time being. And the training institution that Shen Antong chose was in the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, so it was relatively safe.
Entering the message editing page, Huang Fuli simply replied: "Good luck." β
β¦β¦
When Chu Tianyao came to Fengbo's cool room with carefully prepared meals, all he saw was a slightly fluttering window screen, and the room was empty.
There was a note on the table that said she had gone out with her friends so that she didn't have to wait for her.
Chu Tianyao sighed. He always felt as if he had been seen through by her.
Yes, he did want to pursue her. If he can become the hall master's son-in-law, then his future position will be completely stable.
He has also been working hard to create opportunities for a long time. But Feng Boliang was either cultivating, or "going out to play"βalthough no one knew where she had goneβin short, they were basically never alone.
Moreover, Chu Tianyao also knew very well that she was not so easy to be controlled.
After all, when she can't even recognize the words, the girl who can hold the jade slip and babble and chat with the master of the Heavenly Palace is equivalent to being indirectly brought up by the gods. It's certainly not as simple and easy to deceive as the Yusha Snow Shadow.
Her attitude towards herself is indeed not bad, and she is more flirtatious than herself when she flirts. But the problem is that she has that attitude towards everyone, and this is all because she is influenced by the master of the Heavenly Palace, and she has no class concept in treating people. Therefore, the only intersection of this point at present does not represent anything at all.
Sighing, he could only take out his pen and add his own message to the note she left, and at the same time express his concern for her without a trace.
In the dark room, the shadow of loneliness was stretched long.
***
When these candidates were about to enter the special training stage, Yan Xueying, who Chu Tianyao was thinking about, was hurrying alone.
When she climbed over a small hill, a red light flashed not far away, and a figure with flames all over her body suddenly appeared in front of her.
Yan Xueying was startled, and the man also approached briskly, raising his hand and putting his hand on her shoulders.
"Snow Shadow, I've finally found you!"
Hearing him accurately call out his name, and in the tone of a long-lost reunion, Yan Xueying couldn't help but be stunned: "...... are you?"
This iconic flaming outfit really reminded her of someone.
ββ¦β¦ Flame Ghost Emperor?"
As one of the most popular Quartet Ghost Emperors today, the master of the lava hell, the Flame Ghost Emperor. But what does such a character have to do with himself?
Flame Chin: "I am." β
"But take a closer look?"
Yan Xueying looked at him hesitantly, that handsome and slightly bewitching face was indeed extremely lethal. But beyond that, there's nothing else -
The corners of Flame's mouth twitched, and a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.
"You're still so sluggish, Ice Queen. β
At this moment, Yan Xueying was like being struck by lightning. The memories evoked by this title bring back memories of the past. Beneath that oppressive countenance, she finally saw something familiar. And that was what she thought she would never see again......
Slowly raised his hand and stroked the face that was close to him. The voice also trembled with disbelief:
"Cang...... The sea?"
