(Rune War) Chapter 53 See each other after two years
Eventually, Teemo began to arrange some details and strategies for his meeting with Jax's mentor and apprentice in the evening. He proposes that the evening dinner be dominated by reminiscences, with negotiation as a sideline, with Teemo himself leading the overall process and the rest of the people playing their respective roles. Here, Teemo especially mentions Sarah's bad luck, asking her to keep her distance from Chen Yin as much as possible during the dinner, not to look at and chat with Chen Yin too much, and to let everyone see her closeness to Yu Shen.
Teemo's arrangement made Shen Xin, who had long had a different kind of thought, very happy. However, she was immediately questioned and opposed by Sarah Doom, who angrily reprimanded Sarah Doom for not forgetting her personal identity because of her personal feelings, and reminded her that she should first consider her identity as the guardian hero of the Yodel Federation. Teemo's rebuke made Sarah Doom feel aggrieved and didn't say a word. Seeing that her apprentice Sarah was wronged, this also provoked Tristana to go crazy again, and the tables, chairs and benches in this conference room were once again unjustifiably damaged.
"Pick up the buns, don't go too far!! Why should you sacrifice my apprentice's lifelong happiness for your own selfishness?? Tristana roared.
"Nana, what do you mean by my selfishness?? Am I doing it for myself? I'm here for our yodel federation!! Besides, when did I say that I would sacrifice Sarah's happiness, I support whoever she likes, but today she must cooperate, I need to know, what height is Sarah's status in Chen Yin's mind!! Teemo explained.
"Don't make yourself as great as a savior. Can't they handle the affairs of the two of them by themselves, do you need to design and arrange them? Don't think that after a few words about you are the first wise general in the continent, you will get carried away!! If you're really that powerful, why don't you just ask Jax for a promise, and what do you have to do with my apprentice!! ”
"Nana!! Before you speak, think about the identity of the other person, I know Jax and the War College well, and I know their personalities and their history even better. I don't have to try to know that he can't promise us anything, if I can solve the problem by talking to him directly, I have spent so much effort and use these strategies to make things so complicated?? If the War College is the kind of force that someone asks for and they immediately agree, Ionia will be mired in war for more than a year? It wasn't until this time, oh, that the Void Visitors invaded, and they remembered to intercede. Also, thousands of years ago, the Shurima Empire was much stronger than the current Noxus, and they were about to unify the whole continent in the southern and northern wars, and they didn't see the founders of the War College intervene in the continental disputes to mediate or something. It wasn't until the Void invaded and Shurima was about to be destroyed that they came out to finish!! ”
Teemo's explanation still didn't dissuade Tristana, and after kicking another chair, she shouted again, "I don't care about you and the smart people in the War College, if you want to fight yourself, don't get involved with me and my apprentice." I've seen it a long time ago, since you accepted Shen's apprentice, you've been thinking about matching him and Sarah, haven't you?? I'm telling you, no way!! ”
When Tristana stretched out her hand to point at Shen in the crowd, Shen shook her head and waved her hand. Tristana's attitude also made Teemo really angry.
"General Tristana!! You have to remember! At all times, we must first take into account the national interests of the Yodel Federation, and then our own personal interests, so that we can live up to our responsibilities and names as heroic guardians of the nation. If, after my test today, I found that Sarah has no weight in Chen Yin's mind at all, I really matched Sarah and Shen. Even without the help of the War College, I believe Shen is willing to lead the forces of the Balanced Sect to fight alongside us. ”
"Commander Timo!! Don't think that your level is the highest in our group, and you can make each of us sacrifice for your ideas and interests!! You keep saying that it is not for the country but for the people, you are so great, why don't you sacrifice your happiness and hope!! Do you dare? ”
Tristana jumped in front of Teemo, looked him in the eye and roared.
Tristana!! If the survival of the Yodel Federation has reached a point where I need to pay for it with my life or emotion, even if I were asked to die now, or sacrifice my personal happiness, I would not blink an eye!! ”
Teemo's resolute answer caused Tristana to take a few steps back from her chest, her eyes filled with tears.
Seeing that the two quarreled and quarreled, and it might even lead to the breakdown of their relationship, everyone in the conference room hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two. Shen kept comforting Teemo, while Rambo, Giggs, and Sarah Doom kept comforting Tristana. Sarah Doom didn't expect Tristana to quarrel with Teemo like this for herself, and she didn't expect Teemo, who had always tolerated and backed down to Tristana, to be so fierce this time.
In the end, for the sake of the future of the Yodel Federation, in order to prevent Tristana and Timo from having emotional problems because of herself, and in order to comply with Teemo's plan and test her status in Chen Yin's mind, Sarah Doom still chose to back down, she promised Teemo that she would cooperate carefully at the dinner party and follow the command in all actions.
However, Tristana's compromise of Sarah's bad luck made Tristana even more sad, and she left a sentence that she would never go to dinner in the evening, and she would not know where she went. The moment Tristana kicked the door out, she didn't notice a glint in Teemo's eyes, as if she was hiding something.
The conference room, which had been noisy for a long time, finally fell silent. The constant quarrel between Tristana and Timo in the previous meeting room, as well as the continuous loud sound of various tables and chairs shattering, made the two orderly soldiers standing guard outside break out in a cold sweat, and they subconsciously stayed away from the door, for fear that they would be harmed together because they heard something they shouldn't have heard, and the facts proved that the choice of the two was correct. It wasn't long before the steel hatch was kicked open and fell from where the two orderlies had been standing.
At 7:30 p.m., the Grand Ballroom on the second floor of the flagship deck of the Little Mo was lit up. A U-shaped banquet table with a length of more than 20 meters and a width of about 4 meters is placed in the middle of the banquet hall, with three guest seats at the top of the U-shaped table and 20 sub-seats on the left and right sides of the U-shaped depth, which can accommodate more than 40 guests in total.
After a burst of drums, Commander Timo led a group of officials and generals to set up a lineup here, and solemnly greeted Jax and Chen Yin's master and apprentice.
From the moment Chen Yin first entered the banquet hall, it was as if he had lost his soul in an instant, and in the vast crowd, he saw the haunting figure at a glance. Just like when I first saw her on Good Luck Island many years ago, she was still dressed in white, but the white dress was replaced by the current white navy uniform, at that time, the little daughter with yellow hair and thin body had developed a convex and backward body, and her long black and beautiful hair hung down on her shoulders like waves, under the slender willow eyebrows, the bright eyes were crystal clear, revealing a breathtaking charm, crystal like jade, a little red lips moved slightly, as if there were a thousand words, and it seemed to be resentful, made Chen Yin stunned.
Until, an arm appeared in Chen Yin's sight out of place, bypassing Sarah's curly hair and resting on her shoulder. Sarah Doom felt Shen's arm on her shoulder, her body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she thought of Teemo's advice, and she finally held back and didn't move.
This salty pig hand that suddenly appeared in the field of vision made Chen Yin's anger groove explode instantly, his eyes were blood-red in an instant, and he only felt that the blood in his body continued to impact his heart and brain like boiling, the green tendons on both sides of his temples were constantly swelling and twitching, his hands trembled slightly, and then clenched his fists violently, just when Chen Yin's whole body was full of energy, like an arrow about to shoot out on the string, a powerful palm pressed tightly on his shoulder, This not only dissolved the energy raised by Chen Yin's whole body, but also firmly fixed Chen Yin in place.
"Hold your head! Don't be embarrassed! If you have any ideas, wait until after dinner! The owner of this palm, a steely sonorous and low voice echoed in Chen Yin's ears. After hearing the master's advice, Chen Yin took several deep breaths in a row, forcibly suppressed the resentment and anger in his heart, and followed Jax to continue to walk towards the people of the Yodel Federation.
"Master Jax, Rare Guest!! We haven't seen each other in a few days since you arrived in Presti City. I miss it so much! Timo strode forward, grabbed one of Jax's palms with both hands, and tapped it a few times before exclaiming.
"Lord Timo, you're welcome. After the peace was reached and Presti was settled, I hadn't seen Master Timo for a while, so I'm here to bother! ”
Chen Yin lowered his head slightly beside the two, did not say a word, and his eyes did not look at the vanity and grievances of the two, but kept staring at the man standing next to Sarah's bad luck, as if looking at the enemy of life and death.
At this time, the simple greeting between Teemo and Jax was over, and Teemo began to look at Chen Yin.
"Boy Chen Yin, several years have passed, what's wrong? After becoming a celebrity in the Valoran Continent, don't you know me anymore? Teemo asked suddenly
Chen Yin didn't answer directly, but just touched his chest with one hand, leaned his body slightly, and saluted Timo.
"Hehe, this stinky boy, the more famous he is, the bigger his temper. Let's ignore him, sit down and talk in detail? Jax was playing the round on the sidelines.
"Haha, okay, okay, I haven't seen you for a long time, there are too many things to chatter, come, Master Jax, let's take a seat first and talk in detail. Please! ”
Jax and Chen Yin were led by Teemo to the three main seats at the top of the long table, and on the question of who should sit in the middle of the main seat, Jax and Teemo humbled each other again, and finally Jax himself took his seat early and chose the seat to the right of the main seat, so that Teemo sat in the middle of the three guest of honor, and Chen Yin was on the left side of Teemo. After seeing the protagonists take their seats, the rest of the generals also entered their seats in turn according to the order they had made in advance.
The two people sitting next to him on Chen Yin's side were Rambo and Giggs. Next to Jax, Sarah's bad luck and Shen's seats were next to each other, and this arrangement once again made Chen Yin's heart burn.
"Huh?? Why didn't you see Tristana today?? Jax seemed to mention it casually.
"Oh, she's sick today, so she's resting in her room and can't make it to the welcome dinner. I hope Master Jax won't be surprised. Teemo hurriedly spoke.
"Oh, no, no, no. I also ask Master Timo to say hello to her on her behalf, if Tristana recovers, she will have the opportunity to come back to our War College. ”
"Well, Master Jax bothered, I will definitely convey it! If we have the chance, we will also visit your place together. It's almost time, how about we start the table? ”
"Haha, it's up to you!"
Timo picked up the bell placed on the main seat, shook it gently, and with the ringing of the bell, the banquet officially began.
