Chapter 112: A Call from the Sea
Su Chen's mother was speechless, but her face became very ugly. And Su Chen's father also heard the deeply suppressed anger hidden under Su Chen's low tone, he also had an ugly face, opened his mouth a few times, but didn't say anything, and the two families finally left Su Chen's small tent in a gloomy manner.
Su Chen took a deep breath hard to calm his emotions. Then he walked up to Maizi, hugged Maizi, patted him on the shoulder, and squeezed out a somewhat bleak smile at Maizi:
"I'm sorry, brother!"
Maizi knew that Su Chen was a little thin-skinned, and felt very shy and embarrassed to let him watch a family ethics drama in person, so he didn't say anything, just patted Su Chen's back to express comfort, and then quickly turned to the topic.
"Lao Su, now it has been spread all over the base, saying that the Sea Clan gave us a lot of elixirs, and then you secretly withheld some of them, resulting in the fact that the elixir is not enough at all...... If I let me know which grandson is spreading rumors behind his back, see if I don't beat him into a blood gourd! ”
The more Mai Zi spoke, the more angry he became, and his face turned pale.
Su Chen's face also changed. Just now he guessed that someone should have deliberately leaked the matter of the Sea Clan's visit and the matter of the Sea Soul Pill. It's just that he never expected that the content of the rumors would be so outrageous.
Moreover, what made Su Chen feel more sad than the rumors themselves was that his parents did not know him and trust him as well as Maizi, a friend who had no blood relationship.
Maizi frowned and sighed. He was convinced of Su Chen, and absolutely did not believe that Su Chen would privately swallow those so-called "elixirs". However, this rumor of unknown origin has already spread, and he has tried his best to stop those more and more outrageous discussions that are spreading in secret.
However, although the rumors were annoying, they were not the main purpose of Maizi coming to Su Chen. He was mainly here to inform Su Chen of the Senate's decision to prepare to convene a Blue Star Immigration Congress.
The Blue Star Senate is actually a very efficiency-oriented institution. Moreover, due to the advancement of technology, a considerable part of the work has been undertaken by artificial intelligence. Therefore, although the Senate is large, it is not bloated.
When the Blue Star Senate was first created, there was indeed a tradition of convening global conventions to decide certain matters concerning the well-being of humanity. It's just that Su Chen didn't expect that at this sensitive moment on this almost completely unfamiliar new planet, in the fourteen areas where the immigrants are stationed, they are all facing the impending mortal danger, the Senate would actually think of reviving this tradition of convening a grand meeting of all the Blue Star Humans and having the representatives of various countries make decisions together.
It really seems like a reasonable choice. It's just that in such a short period of time, it seems that it is not easy to prepare for such a huge meeting.
Su Chen's emotions gradually calmed down a bit, at this time, it was really not a good time to get angry. Maizi came to tell him about it, and he must have had his intentions.
Su Chen said to Maizi without hesitation, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”
Maizi was a little hesitant, but finally said: "I hope you will work hard to become an official representative to the Blue Star Immigration Congress." ”
Su Chen looked at Maizi in surprise: "Is this kind of thing something I can strive for?" Now that the rumors are spreading so fiercely, I am afraid that even if I am appointed as a representative from above, I will be denied the qualifications of the people! ”
Maizi was very serious: "Why else would I let you fight for this representative?" Only by gaining enough supporters can you quell the rumors that are not good for you! ”
Su Chen smiled, this time he was really happy, and even let go of the depression of being treated coldly by his parents. It's really a very happy thing to have a friend like Maizi who thinks about herself wholeheartedly!
However, Su Chen still didn't want to be this representative.
He felt that he was a spiritual person after all. And he felt several times that there were many human beings, or other creatures, who were also spiritual beings, who seemed to be secretly targeting him.
Although he didn't know if it was caused by the side effect of "Rejuvenation Jue", he was careful, and he couldn't be wrong. And although being a representative can participate in the major decision-making of Blue Star Immigration, this kind of thing that is too showy is inevitably too easy for other spiritual practitioners to notice his existence.
Maizi listened to Su Chen's reason and nodded silently, but his shoulders drooped, and he was clearly a little frustrated. Su Chen patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, grabbed his arm, and said to him, "Close your eyes!" ”
Maizi closed her eyes as soon as she heard this, and then she felt weightlessness for a while. And after his body felt stable and comfortable again, he opened his eyes and saw that he had come to the space that Su Chen had brought him into last time.
Su Chen was looking at Maizi with a smile and said to him, "Look at what that is?" Do you still recognize it? ”
He pointed to the big willow girl paper that had almost become a reclining position. The aerial root-like branches on her body now almost covered the lower half of her body. Moreover, some of her upper body, including the canopy, has also grown. Now, if you don't look closely, you can barely make out her original willow form.
Even when she occasionally changed her form and took on a human form to wander around, the branches would simply turn into a skirt covered with various tassels, covering her body and dancing as she walked.
Maizi looked at the new form of the big willow girl paper in surprise and asked, "What is this?" ”
Su Chen replied, "The last time you saw it, that big willow tree." However, she was too greedy to resist the temptation, and after eating a Sea Soul Pill, she became like this. ”
The big willow sister paper had already switched to a human form, wearing a long skirt that was not satisfied with the tassels, and walked over gracefully, and then suddenly accelerated, and pounced on Su Chen: "Master, master, take me to the beach to play for a while......"
Su Chen said to Maizi with a wry smile: "Look, if you eat one, you will become this ghost, if you eat a few more, who knows what kind of virtue it will become?" And she is a dryad, and her body is a willow tree, and it doesn't matter if she soaks in water or not. But if humans don't have to go to seawater......"
Su Chen didn't continue, but Maizi understood what he meant. It seems that it is really difficult to say whether this thing is a blessing or a curse.
The big willow sister paper was still sticking to Su Chen's body like a sticky cake, and she was going to go to the beach to play, and the eager eyes and the wheat she looked at were unbearable. Su Chen pushed her away with a look of disgust: "The whole body is hard, you don't count it in your heart?" Let you hold it for a while, and you will be able to use it as a coffin for me! ”
The big willow girl didn't seem to know what her self-esteem was, and only murmured, "Let's go to the beach!" Let's go to the beach! Let's go to the beach! Let's go to the beach......"
