Chapter 213: Lan Luo'er's Invitation
The next morning, the golden sunlight shone through the open and closed window cracks, reflecting on the floor of the room, illuminating the shadows of the eight lattice windows. The sun seemed to be radiating heat and light more industriously than usual, and it was still early, but it couldn't wait to wake up the people on the ground.
Su Hao woke up early, he dragged his nightgown, yawned, and opened the bedroom window with his open hand. The dazzling sunlight smashed into his eyes in one go, causing him to squint involuntarily, trying to avoid the touching burning heat with his eyelashes. The sea breeze blows from the seashore thousands of meters away, mixed with the warmth of the sun, the saltiness of the sea, and the fragrance of flowers and plants, blowing on the surface, but it seems that the whole body is blowing, and all sleepiness is swept away.
The blue sea is sparkling, moving slowly, the blue sky and light clouds are spread all over, quiet and comfortable. The sand glows the color of gold, and dense strings of footprints are left on it, as well as busy people walking around. From the perspective of the teahouse window, it looks like a pile of looming silhouettes buried in the eternally reflective gold leaf. Seagulls soar in flocks under the blue sky and white clouds, from one end of the coast to the other end of the coast, skimming the sea, rounding the cliffs, circling again and again, as if exercising in the morning.
The atmosphere in the Covenant Harbor was still the same as usual, but after Su Hao recovered from his sleepy state, his eyes saw more clearly, and he found something strange.
Lively, lively. Huge banners were raised on both sides of the coast, and the beach was densely packed with all kinds of people, as if they had been dug into an anthill. In the direction of the harbor, the place where the boats were parked was empty, and those fishing boats that had not left until 9 a.m. had left at 7 a.m. this morning, some had just sailed out, and some could not see the shadow at all in the sight, and they did not know if they had gone to the depths of the shallow sea. The faces of the fishermen on the side of the boat were full of excitement and enthusiasm, and although Su Hao couldn't hear their speech, the buzzing noise that penetrated the long distance to his ears was still very obvious. There are also some young people who are dressed differently from the beach fishermen, and they form teams to carry some things of unknown purpose to the port and the beach.
It was as if the Covenant Harbor had entered a state of something different from usual overnight, as if some festival was coming.
"The China Sea Championship. Su Hao read out the words he heard from Mo Jinghong last night, if he remembered correctly, he said that the game would be seven days later, and "tomorrow", the atmosphere of the Covenant Harbor would change.
And now it seems that everyone is in full swing to prepare for the event of the China Sea Championship.
"I'll have to go to Lan Luo'er and ask about the situation. Su Hao, like an ordinary person, took water in the room and washed his face and washed up, changed out of his nightgown, put on his usual blue clothes, pushed the door and walked out of the room.
"Crunch. The door on the far right of the same corridor also opened at the same time, Su Hao looked, and Xiao Chu also yawned and walked out. She was dressed in a clerk's red uniform, and her silky brown hair was tied into a lovely ball at the back of her head, tied with a silver ribbon, highlighting the golden glow of the sun, and at a certain moment, she looked like a beautiful girl with blond hair.
"Hi, Xiao Chu, morning. Su Hao greeted Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu smiled at her, and leaned over with light steps.
"How did you sleep last night?" Su Hao said.
"Well, if it weren't for Brother Su running out to get Xiao Chu back after dark, Xiao Chu might still have nightmares. Xiao Chu said with a smile.
"Little fool, what are you talking about? It's because it's dark that I have to get you back safely, otherwise how would I sleep? β
"I'm not stupid, huh...... Don't talk about this, Brother Su, you go downstairs and sit for a while, waiting for the breakfast I made. Xiao Chu Yingying smiled, and Xiao jumped down the stairs and went into the back kitchen.
Su Hao smiled and shook his head, after he "rolled" out last night, Su Hao went out of the store to find Xiao Chu, but he didn't expect her small body and small feet to run away in a few minutes, and Su Hao found her in more than forty minutes after running half of the town, and finally brought her back to the teahouse safely.
And the reason for finding her also made Su Hao feel a little naΓ―ve and funny, the girl was afraid of the dark, it was cold, and she wore little, so she couldn't help but go to a place with lights and heating, and then found it for Su Hao. At that time, she was obedient, her eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears on her cheeks.
Until now, Su Hao didn't ask Xiao Chu why he ran out, so that he and Mo Jinghong would stop arguing, or if he really ran away in a fit of anger.
"It's dangerous, girl's. Su Hao stepped down the stairs, he naturally knew that this kind of exhortation could not reach Xiao Chu's ears, maybe he also said it to himself from the bottom of his heart.
In short, after a few steps of getting along in the dark night last night, the relationship between him and Xiao Chu is much better than before. Taking care of a fourteen-year-old girl is not only quite fresh and interesting for Su Hao, but also very happy, just like he is really an ordinary big brother, taking care of his sister who is well-behaved but sometimes playful.
Sitting on the first floor of the empty, quiet and comfortable teahouse, he ordered a place at random and sat down very proudly, Xiao Chu's breakfast was quickly served, steaming, an ordinary feast of eggs and porridge colliding.
Su Hao quickly finished eating, this seemingly inconspicuous portion, the ingredients also belong to the category of spiritual food. Last night, Su Hao learned from Xiao Chu that almost all the food in the Covenant Harbor belonged to spiritual food, the seafood was the best, the main valley was second, and the mountain meat was the weakest; and in the luxurious restaurant where there was no shortage of full feasts, the big table of delicacies that sparkled in the eyes were all spiritual energy, and eating them could promote Su Hao's magic weapon to refine people's martial arts.
It can be said that all the people in the Covenant Harbor are cultivating when they are exercising or eating. This made Su Hao seem to have a great appetite and want to eat infinitely. But he had no choice but to be shy in his pocket, Keqing's salary was not paid, and his pockets were full of some talismans, props, and elixirs that were not easy to sell - he didn't have time to take those magic weapons and equipment and other trophies left behind by the enemy after his death.
"Alas, I want to eat, I want to cultivate. Su Hao couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Chu had already put on an apron and was preparing for a new day's business in the back kitchen, otherwise if she heard it, she would have to complain about Su Hao.
After thinking about this and thinking about that, a figure with attributes suddenly appeared in Su Hao's heart, he knocked the table with his index finger and knocked it three times, saying Cao Cao Cao arrived, a beautiful young man pushed open the wooden door of the teahouse and entered Su Hao's field of vision.
"Brother Su, I'm here to bring you news. Lan Luo'er said with a smile on her face.
"Well, please be seated. Su Hao casually pointed to the chair opposite, he thought to himself that since Lan Luo'er didn't know about last night's Mo Jinghong, then don't let him worry about it.
Lan Luo'er sat down, lifted the chair with both hands, and approached Su Hao.
"Brother Su, do you know why it's so lively outside?" Lan Luo'er asked.
"The China Sea Championship is about to start?" replied Su Hao.
"Hey, it's well-informed," Lan Luo'er haha, "Then you know the rules, right?"
"Hmm. Su Hao shook his head.
Lan Luo'er raised her fist in front of her mouth, then coughed and said formally:
"The China Sea Championship is a triennial large-scale event in the Covenant Harbor, adhering to the concept of selecting the strongest sea warriors with wisdom, courage and strength, and is jointly funded by the Mo family, the Whale Gang, and the Yan family. The competition is divided into three stages, a total of nine days, and 15 teams are allowed to participate, except for the three teams sent by each team, the other 12 places were decided in the audition two months ago. The grand prize of the competition is the three treasures prepared by each of the three companies, and the sub-champion of each stage can get the grand prize prepared by a certain team for the winning team of that stage, and the team that wins the third stage of the competition, in addition to the reward treasures of the sub-champion, also has the glory of the overall champion and the privilege of the strongest warrior. β
After finishing speaking, Lan Luo'er coughed, looked at Su Hao, and blinked.
Su Hao smiled and said, "Brother Lan, say what you want to say." β
The corners of Lan Luo'er's mouth rose, her hands pressed on the table, and said, "I want to invite you to join our whale gang team." β
"Okay, I promise. Su Hao said bluntly.
"It's okay, I'll keep talking to you...... Huh, you agreed?" Lan Luo'er had just spoken in the "world" that Su Hao didn't agree to, and suddenly reacted that Su Hao agreed directly, and replied so quickly, as if he hadn't thought about it.
"That's right, the young master of Lan Luo'er finally took time out of his busy schedule to see me, the Whale Gang Keqing, and also made an invitation, how can I, Su Yiyun, not give face to the young master. Su Hao said in a teasing tone.
Lan Luo'er rolled her eyes, and then seriously: "You really agreed? I still haven't told you a lot of precautions? Hey, wouldn't it be that you have already understood everything and are waiting for me to invite you?"
"How so? I just learned about the concept of the China Sea Championship. β
Su Hao pretended to be innocent, with a false half-truth, and Lan Luo'er naturally believed it. Su Hao said again: "But are you sure you want to invite me to participate in this important competition? I am no longer the powerful warrior whose cultivation is comparable to yours, and don't you still have those two powerful left and right protectors? It is customary for the gang leader not to participate in this kind of event." In the end, Su Hao also added a complaining sentence.
Lan Luo'er said frankly: "Isn't it normal to invite you, you are the person who has been recognized by me, my father, Brother Hei Bai Ming, and Sister Xiang Shenfu, and you are the only guest recruited by the Whale Gang over the years." You have the strength, why am I not sure?"
"Okay, okay," Su Hao spread his hands and slowly opened his glowing eyes, "Since you invited me, I should do my best." Six days later, right?"
"Well, at that time, the Yan family and the Mo family will send teams of the younger generation to participate, and there will definitely be good dark horses among the twelve other teams. After all, this is a competition to select the strongest on the sea, and the test is a comprehensive multifaceted one, not standing in the ring, you punch me and I punch, and whose fist is harder. Only those who really have the strength at sea will win. I also have to remind you that it is not completely safe during the game, the main competition area is Zhonghai, which is beyond the range of shallow seas, and the danger level is greatly increased, and between the three companies, even if they do not shoot each other on the surface, they are absolutely indispensable in the back. Lan Luoer said.
"It's okay, I've spent a lot of danger, I have the guts, and I can plot, which means that I can take revenge. Su Hao's smile was filled with a hint of malice that Lan Luo'er could not see, and at this moment he was thinking of Yan Feng and Mo Jinghong.
"Well, if we can, we'll do two trial training sessions before the race, and you can come too. β
"Well," Su Hao responded, but he changed his words, "That...... Brother Lan, what is the salary that your whale gang gives to Keqing..... When will it be sent?"
"Huh?" Lan Luo'er didn't expect Su Hao to ask this question for a while.
Su Hao said a little embarrassedly: "I need to cultivate magic weapons to refine human skills, for this reason, I want to eat, eat a lot of spiritual food, but if I go to the 'Haitian Feast', I don't have any money." β
