Chapter 184: A Small Gathering
"Congratulations to Shi Lan for defeating his opponent! Advance to the round of 32! ”
"Shi Lan wins! Advance to the round of 16! ”
"It's not hard for him at all! The top eight contestants are out! Shi Lan is among them! ”
"After hard fighting, Shi Lan finally defeated the opponent and advanced to the semifinals, and the legend of the invincible teenager continues!"
At the same time, more about Shi Lan's strange behavior in the battle also leads to laughter.
"He keeps talking when he fights! My brain is smoking! ”
"Who taught him! Why is he able to tell a story while fighting? ”
"After fighting with him, I didn't see anything in martial arts, but my knowledge and experience have increased a lot!"
"I just learned that it was a place where people lived before I left it!"
"I feel like I'm fighting with Wada Tiezui......"
In this way, Shi Lan's chattering during the battle has also become a popular topic of conversation.
※※※
Wanmin Hall, in order to celebrate Shi Lan's semi-finals, the friends held a celebration banquet here.
Xingqiu, Xiangling, Chongyun, Hu Tao, and Yun Jin all arrived, a gathering between friends.
By the way, and Zhongli.
"Don't care about me, I'm just here to accompany the little beard hall master on the orders of the old hall master." Zhongli waved his hand and sat at the next table with a boxy cup, not participating in any topics.
Just glanced at Shi Lan from time to time.
"This Zhongli ...... How does it feel sneaky? Shi Lan's instincts told him that something was wrong, and Zhongli's look made him feel furious.
But the friends didn't give Shi Lan time to think alone. There was a lot of chatter around him, and the main topic was also on him.
"Clink glasses!"
The drinks in the cups were spilled by the collision, but the noise of the banquet did not diminish in the slightest.
"It's amazing, Shi Lan, I didn't expect you to come this far......" Xingqiu hugged Shi Lan's shoulder, his eyes were full of little stars, "The twenty-fifth is the semi-finals, that's in the Yuehai Pavilion ring, so envious..."
"Uh... Well, rejoicing. Shi Lan was a little absent-minded.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why Shi Lan was sullen.
However, thinking of the semi-finals that will be held in two days, everyone can understand, after all, the big war is imminent, and it is not surprising that it will be nervous.
"What's exciting now!" Hu Tao slapped the empty cup on the table heavily, raised his hand and said, "Shi Lan is determined to win the championship!" So don't go too far tonight! To save character for Shi Lan, you can't be happy too early! ”
Everyone grasped the key point: "What? Shi Lan wants to win the championship? ”
"Really? Did he really say that? Chongyun's eyes widened: "I thought that reaching the semi-finals would be considered a success......"
Xingqiu hugged his arms and shook his head and said, "The semi-finals of the martial arts competition!" Two more wins and you're a champion! Will this be the only chance in this life, the reputation of a young hero, Shi Lan is duty-bound! ”
Yun Jin hurriedly played a round game: "You guys put too much pressure on him, hey!" ”
"Reaching the semi-finals is not a success, the championship is just around the corner, how can you be satisfied like this?"
Hu Tao walked over and pulled Shi Lan: "Don't be so unhappy, come and laugh (ˊˋ*)"
Shi Lan hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not unhappy!" It's just that the afternoon game is a little tired, don't worry. ”
Everyone laughed, this is Shi Lantian who is not afraid of the ground, where will he worry about losing.
Hu Tao whispered in Shi Lan's ear: "Let me tell you, I heard that Beidou seems to have the will to let you get on the boat." More than half of your goal to go to sea has been completed, and Beidou has already impressed you, so in the later games, you can only say do your best, don't force yourself too much. ”
"What did you say!?" Before Shi Lan could say anything, Xingqiu exclaimed: "Beidou? Embarkation? What do you mean? ”
"Shi Lan is leaving?"
The people present stopped their chopsticks one after another and looked at Shi Lan suspiciously.
Only Yun Jin, who had long known that Shi Lan was leaving, was very calm, drinking slowly with a cup of hot tea, and did not participate in the topic.
"Ahh......h......h
"Nothing, I should have told you a long time ago." Shi Lan smiled: "Everyone, I'm sorry to keep it from you...... If it goes well, I'll be out to sea with the Southern Cross after the Moon Festival......"
“…………”
Everyone opened their mouths slightly, expressing shock and confusion at the news that Shi Lan was suddenly leaving.
The noisy banquet suddenly fell silent, and the pins could be heard.
"Why... So suddenly? Xiangling was very puzzled, "Are you unhappy?" Or ......"
"That's right, aren't you serving in Yujingtai, why did you suddenly become a member of the "Southern Cross" crew and are going to go to sea with you?"
Looking at the anxious looks of her friends, Shi Lan felt very sorry for this group of good friends.
"Everybody......" he softened his tone.
"During this time, I thought about it a lot."
"The world is a lot of colours, and although Liyue is big, it's still too small for Teyvat."
"I want to see more colors and go to more places......"
Xiangling said anxiously: "However, it's not too late to wait a few years before leaving!" Why so suddenly? ”
"I'm afraid that if I grow up, I won't have the courage to step out of Liyue... I need to grow, a test full of unknowns. The flowers that grow in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain. ”
Chongyun snapped his fingers: "But Liyue doesn't need you to protect it now, there is the Lord of the Rock, there are the Seven Stars, and there are ......."
"Smack!"
Xingqiu Zhao Chongyun's head came for a moment, "What are you doing, it's normal for Shi Lan to want to go out for a trip." If he grows up and then goes out, that's not good, when he grows up, there will be a lot of things, and with his ability, maybe he will be the key figure in Liyue in the future, and when the time comes, he will have a lot of power, and he won't have time to go out and play again. ”
Shi Lan looked at Xingqiu in surprise.
"I'm right." Xingqiu winked at him.
Shi Lan hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope: "Ah... It's like this..."
In fact, if you want him to explain the reason for going to sea in detail, he can't say it himself.
I can't say that I died once in Wufu Slope and there is a shadow...
He died before he saw a good situation.
"I said everyone, why are you so depressed, people are going out to play, not going out to fight, and it's not that they won't come back." Xingqiu said with a smile: "The Southern Cross returns to Hong Kong several times a year, so won't I be able to see Shi Lan again at that time... Don't have such a sad expression, come, everyone is eating and drinking... Tonight's consumption is paid for by Chongyun Gongzi! ”
Chongyun was full of question marks: "Why am I paying again?" ”
Xingqiu looked at him with a smile: "Aren't all the bonuses we won the championship for you, and it doesn't cost much to invite a guest, and it's not the whole audience to pay for it......"
Xingqiu's words were poked at his last birthday, when Yang Qi exploded and bought the orders of the audience, which directly led to Chongyun's bankruptcy, and the popsicles were almost unaffordable.
Chongyun struggled for a long time, touched the shriveled money bag in his pocket, and nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it first, it's not for you to eat, it's for Shi Lan!" ”
"They're all good friends, so it's boring to say this."
I have to say that Xingqiu's words successfully diluted the gloomy atmosphere brought by Shi Lan's leaving, and the liveliness of the banquet returned.
Xiangling hugged the pot, shook her little head, and said with longing: "Speaking of which, I also have the idea of traveling around the world and learning from chefs from all over the world...... Moreover, I'm afraid that I won't have time when I grow up and take over Wanmintang... It's just that I don't have the power to act..."
"Yes, I also want to go crazy now, fight the sword world or something, but unfortunately, I still have to take over part of the Chamber of Commerce when I grow up, and I will be busy at that time."
"The Southern Cross will come back about half a year later, right? Can Shi Lan help me bring more foreign specialties? Xingqiu said: "Will the popsicles of the solstice be more effective?" Bring some to Chongyun......"
"It's the same everywhere, ordinary popsicles are useless, I have to enchant them after I take them, so that popsicles have the effect of suppressing yang energy......" Chongyun said: "Last time Shi Lan gave me a lot of popsicles, I attached them all day......"
Xingqiu thought thoughtfully: "No wonder you don't want the ice bed I gave you last time!" ”
"You're embarrassed to say it! That ice bed was ordered from the Dead Hall! I don't want it! ”
The partners laughed and laughed, Shi Lan stirred up some atmosphere from time to time, and the whole room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
At the top of the moon, it was getting late, and the banquet, which had lasted for more than an hour, was finally over.
It was close to midnight, and the lights were still bright in front of Wanmin Hall, and there were no pedestrians on the road for a long time.
Zhongli stood in front of everyone: "I will send the little hall master back to the Afterlife Hall, Yun Jin and Xingqiu Chongyun's home is still in front, let Shi Lan send it." ”
As he spoke, he patted Shi Lan on the shoulder, "It's getting late, there are a lot of people in Liyue lately, let's go together." ”
Shi Lan looked at Zhongli suspiciously.
Zhongli's character is not very clear to him, but he has never seen Zhongli speak and pat people on the shoulder.
Turning his head and thinking about it, this is nothing, judging from the situation, it is probably the advice of the elders to a junior, so Zhongli will have this action......
It's just that I still feel a little weird about my body.
"I'm getting tired......"
