Chapter 259: Hongmen Banquet?
It was a student from Mingmiao Law School, and the invitation was sent in the name of Tianya Haikaku.
"Saint Yao will feast on the young talents of the two houses on Lingnan Lake tomorrow night, and I hope that Brother Chen can participate in it with a face. ”
This student is very polite.
Gu Chen's eyes couldn't help narrowing.
Tianya Hai Pavilion, one of the five holy sects of Middle-earth.
And the Yao Holy Maiden mentioned by this person should be the very famous Yao Yufei when today's grand event was held, and it is said that she is the Holy Maiden of the Tianya Sea Pavilion.
It's just that this person has no friendship with himself, so why invite himself?
"I don't know Yao Shengnu, and I'm not a young talent, is this brother's letter sent by mistake?"
He asked.
The student hesitated when he heard this, and carefully looked at his address, "The address is right, you are Brother Chen, a steward of the library building of the True Martial Academy, right?"
He said that he felt inexplicable in his heart, wondering if the invitation was misprinted.
The people who can be invited by the Holy Maiden Yao tomorrow night are all dragons and phoenixes among the people of the two houses, with outstanding talents, and a little steward, who should not have this qualification.
Although he was confused, he was very self-contained, explained.
"As long as there are some famous young people in the two houses, Yao Shengnu handed out invitations, and everyone is not familiar with each other. Moreover, Yao Shengnu also invited Shen Guoshi, and Shen Guoshi and his old man rarely agreed to be present to give some guidance to the young people of the two houses. ”
"Since Brother Chen has received the invitation, he will take this as an opportunity to accumulate contacts, go there, good or bad. If you can hear the golden words of the national teacher, you may have an epiphany. ”
Gu Chen heard that his heart moved, and he smiled. "In that case, I'll accept the invitation. ”
He sent the student away, and when he returned to his room, his eyes twinkling.
"I am unknown in the True Martial Arts Academy, this Yao Holy Maiden invited me for no reason, there must be a demon when things go wrong. ”
"However, this banquet is really heartwarming and hard to refuse. ”
Gu Chen weighed the pros and cons, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled.
"That's it, just go and see, whether it's a Hongmen banquet or not, just pick it up. ”
......
The next day, the event continued to unfold in full swing, and every day there were students who stood out in the fierce competition and became famous.
Gu Chen didn't go to see those competitions again, the event lasted for half a month in total, and he planned to take a look at it near the end, the battle at that time was worth watching.
When it was almost night, Gu Chen took out a simple cyan warrior suit from his storage ring, which was somewhat different from Kyushu's clothing style.
This warrior suit was hand-woven by her mother, and when she escaped from the Fenglin Mansion, she put several sets in the storage ring.
At that time, because he didn't know when he would be able to see his mother again, and maybe even heaven and man would be separated forever, Gu Chen cherished these sets of clothes very much.
Because he often fights with people, and his clothes are easily torn, he rarely wears them now.
Tonight, he went to the banquet of the Tianya Pavilion and heard that the people of the Shen family would appear there, so he decided to put this dress on.
If she was lucky, her mother would have been there, and she would have recognized herself when she saw the clothes.
After changing into a martial arts suit, Gu Chen said to the white ape beside him. "Tonight, you lurk in the shadows, just in case. ”
The white ape nodded, and Gu Chen immediately left the residence.
Lingnan Lake is not far from Zhenwu Academy, the scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful, and the lake water is crystal clear, so there are often tourists who enjoy the scenery by boating here.
Tonight, the saintess of the Tianya Pavilion posted a heroic post, and invited the young talents of the two academies to the banquet, and even the national teachers would attend, and the news had already spread among the students of the two academies.
The students who received the invitation letter were complacent, and they were not only annoyed that they did not receive it, but many of them went to the shore of Lingnan Lake, some wanted to see the excitement, and some simply wanted to fish in troubled waters to try to get into the banquet.
A huge painting boat was parked on the shore of Lingnan Lake, guarded by several students of the Mystic Law School at the ferry crossing, and only those with invitations were allowed to board the boat.
The banquet will be held on the lake, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of fishing in troubled waters.
"This brother, can't you be accommodating and let me get on the boat too? ”
A child of the family said shyly and flatteringly, and at the same time quietly stuffed the storage ring into the guard's hand.
"I'm sorry, no matter what your identity is, you won't be allowed to board tonight without an invitation!"
With a hint of disgust on his face, the guard withdrew the storage ring.
"This ...... Dare I ask, what qualifications do I need to receive the invitation, and why haven't I received it?"
The child of the family was unwilling, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes, why so many people have received it, but we haven't!"
Some of the students who were doing good things were heckling and dissatisfied.
A mocking look appeared on the guard's face.
"The minimum threshold for tonight's banquet must at least be on the hidden dragon list of the True Martial Arts and Miaofa Academies. ”
"Of course, if any of you are on the Kyushu Billboard, you can get on the boat without an invitation!"
When he said this, the dissatisfied students were immediately speechless.
There are only 100 people on the Qianlong list, and all the people who can go up are students from the inner courtyard, and they have to be at the middle and upper levels, which is too high!
As for the Kyushu Billboard, don't even think about it, with that kind of strength, you can already disdain this banquet.
Because it was the saintess of the End of the World, she didn't make it to that list!
Many students died down for a while, staring at the sidelines, watching from time to time someone get on the boat with an invitation.
These people, without exception, are quite famous in the academy.
Suddenly, a plain-looking young man dressed in a plain cyan warrior costume came from a distance and walked straight to the ferry.
"Where did you come from, didn't you notice what kind of place this is? ”
"Ah, he seems to be rushing to get on the boat, am I right?"
"Hehe, wait and see him blown away. ”
Many students discussed.
Gu Chen walked to the ferry and was stopped by the guards.
"Sorry, this place is closed tonight. ”
Seeing that Gu Chen was not wearing the academy uniform, the guard thought it was someone passing by, and said.
"I want to get on board. ”
Gu Chen said, glancing at the painting boat not far away.
There were lights on it, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard in the distance, and it was obvious that many guests had arrived.
"Hahaha, we want to get on the boat too!"
"Where did the hillbilly come from, I didn't even figure out the situation!"
Many students next to him opened their mouths to ridicule, Gu Chen's clothes were really not particular in the eyes of the children of their families, so they looked down on him.
"I'm sorry, Lingnan Lake was covered by the Tianya Pavilion tonight, if you want to enjoy the scenery by boat, it's better to wait for another day, right?"
The guards were much more polite and patiently explained to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen shook his head and flipped over his hand to take out an invitation. "I have this. ”
When the guard saw the invitation, he looked surprised and hurriedly picked it up to check it.
"It's true. ”
Several guards checked it and made sure that this invitation was not fake, and when they looked at Gu Chen again, their faces became a little strange.
This is the son of a powerful family who is qualified to participate in the banquet, but he wears such clothes to tease people......
"Please get on board!"
The guards immediately got out of the way and respectfully invited Gu Chen onto the boat.
Behind him, a group of mocking students were stunned.
