Those who came were students from Mingmiao Law School, and the invitations they sent were in the name of Tianyahaige.
"Shengnv Yao will hold a banquet for the young talents of the two academies at Lingnan Lake tomorrow night, and I hope that Brother Chen will be honored to attend."
The student is very polite.
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Tianyahai Pavilion, one of the five great holy sects of Central Earth.
The Saintess Yao mentioned by this person should be the very famous Yao Yufei when the event was held today. It is said that she is the Saintess of Tianyahai Pavilion.
It's just that this person has no friendship with him, why invite him?
"I don't know Yao Shengnv before, and I'm not a young talent. Did this brother send the wrong letter?"
he asked.
The student hesitated when he heard that, and looked at the address carefully, "The address is correct, you are Brother Chen, a steward of the Shuzang Building of Zhenwu Academy, right?"
He said that he felt baffled in his heart, and wondered if the invitation was printed wrong.
Tomorrow night, the people who will be invited by Saintess Yao are all dragons and phoenixes among the people of the two houses, with outstanding talents, and a small manager should not have the qualifications.
Although he was confused, he explained with great self-cultivation.
"Any well-known young people in the two colleges, Shengnv Yao has handed out invitations, and everyone is not familiar with each other. Moreover, Shengnv Yao also invited Shen Guoshi. It is rare for Shen Guoshi to agree to be there. Give pointers."
"Since Brother Chen has received the invitation, let's take this as an opportunity to accumulate contacts. Go there for a walk, whether it is good or bad. If you can hear the golden and jade words from the national teacher, you may have an epiphany."
Gu Chen heard that his heart moved, and smiled. "In that case, I will accept the invitation."
He sent the student away, and when he returned to his room, his eyes flickered.
"I'm unknown in Zhenwu Academy. This Yao Shengnv invited me for no reason. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."
"However, this banquet is really exciting, and it's hard to refuse."
Gu Chen weighed the pros and cons, and smiled after thinking for a while.
"Forget it, let's go and have a look, whether it's a Hongmen Banquet or not, just accept the move."
...
The next day, the event continued in full swing. Every day, students stood out in the fierce competition and became famous.
Gu Chen didn't go to those competitions anymore, the grand event lasted for half a month, he planned to go and watch it when it was coming to an end, the battles at that time were worth watching.
When it was almost night, Gu Chen took out a set of simple cyan warrior clothes from his storage ring, which was somewhat different from Kyushu's clothing style.
This warrior uniform was hand-woven by my mother. When she fled Fenglin Mansion, she put several sets in the storage ring.
At that time, Gu Chen cherished these sets of clothes because he didn't know when he would see his mother again, and it might even be separated forever.
Because he often fights with people, his clothes are easily damaged, so he rarely wears them now.
He was going to the Tianyahaige banquet tonight, and he heard that the Shen family would appear there, so he decided to wear this dress.
If she is lucky, her mother is there, and she will recognize herself when she sees the clothes.
After changing into the warrior uniform, Gu Chen said to the white ape beside him. "The old rules tonight, you lurk in the dark, just in case."
Bai Yuan nodded, and Gu Chen immediately left the residence.
Lingnan Lake is not far from Zhenwu Academy. The scenery on both sides of the lake is beautiful and the lake is crystal clear. Therefore, tourists often go boating here to enjoy the scenery.
Tonight, the saintesses of Tianyahaige widely posted hero posts, inviting young talents from the two colleges to a banquet, and even the national teachers would attend. This news has already spread like wildfire among the students of the two colleges.
The students who received the invitation letter were naturally complacent. Apart from the annoyance of not receiving it, many of them came to the shore of Lingnan Lake. Some wanted to see the excitement, and some simply wanted to fish in troubled waters to see if they could get into the banquet.
A huge painting boat was parked on the shore of Lingnan Lake, and several students from Miaofa Academy acted as guards to check the ferry. Only those who had invitations could board the boat.
The banquet will be held on the lake, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of fishing in troubled waters.
"Brother, can't you be more flexible and let me board the boat? My family is a bit of a scumbag here in Qingzhou."
A child from an aristocratic family said shamelessly, and at the same time quietly stuffed the storage ring into the guard's hand.
"Sorry, no matter what your status is, those who don't have an invitation will not be allowed to board the ship tonight!"
The guard showed a bit of disgust on his face, and returned the storage ring.
"This... I dare to ask, what qualifications do I need to receive the invitation card, why didn't I receive it?"
The child of the aristocratic family was not reconciled, and asked through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes! Why did many people receive it, but we didn't receive it!"
Some good students booed one after another, feeling dissatisfied.
The guard immediately showed a mocking look on his face.
"The minimum threshold for tonight's banquet must be at least one of the Qianlong lists of Zhenwu and Miaofa."
"Of course, if any of you are on the Kyushu Billboard, you don't need an invitation to get on board!"
When he said this, the dissatisfied students were immediately speechless.
Only one hundred people are selected for the Qianlong list, and those who can make it are all students from the inner courtyard, and they have to be at the middle and upper levels. This threshold is too high!
As for the Kyushu Billboard, don't even think about it, with that level of strength, you can already dismiss this banquet.
Because even the saintesses of Tianya Haige didn't make it to that list!
Many students died down for a while, and they stayed by the side anxiously, watching someone board the boat with invitations from time to time.
Without exception, these people are quite well-known in the academy.
Suddenly, a plain-looking boy in a plain blue warrior uniform came from a distance and walked straight to the ferry.
"Where did you come from, Lengtouqing, didn't you notice where this is? Just ran over here."
"Ah, he seems to be rushing to board the boat, am I right?"
"Hey, wait to see him get blasted away."
Many students discussed.
When Gu Chen reached the ferry, he was stopped by the guards.
"Sorry, traffic is closed tonight."
Seeing that Gu Chen was not wearing the college uniform, the guard thought it was someone passing by and said.
"I want to get on board."
Gu Chen said, and glanced at the painting boat not far away.
There were lights and festoons on it, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard from afar, obviously many guests had already arrived.
"Hahaha, we want to board the boat too!"
"Where did the country bumpkin come from, he didn't even understand the situation!"
A lot of students next to him sneered, Gu Chen's clothes were really not elegant in the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family, so they felt contemptuous.
"Sorry, Lingnan Lake is taken over by Tianyahai Pavilion tonight. If you want to go boating and enjoy the scenery, why don't you wait for another day?"
The guard was much more polite and patiently explained to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen shook his head, flipped his hands and took out an invitation card. "I have this."
When the guard saw the invitation, he looked surprised, and quickly picked it up to check.
"it is true."
Several guards checked to make sure that the invitation was not fake, and when they looked at Gu Chen again, their expressions became a little strange.
Which powerful young master is this, who is qualified to participate in the banquet, but wears such clothes to tease people...
"Please get on board!"
The guards immediately moved out of the way, and respectfully invited Gu Chen onto the boat.
Behind him, a group of laughing students were stunned.
