The much-anticipated banquet started in the garden of Haruhisa Blossoms.
The other courtyards of Huakaiyuan were divided into five branches of Huakaiyuanqing, Huakaiyuanzhi, Huakaiyuanshu, Huakaiyuanluo and Huakaiyuanche from the beginning of the trial of "entering the main house".
The five parties do not disturb each other.
Even the servants don't even greet each other when they meet.
This is the rule.
Although it is not stated explicitly, it has been handed down from the beginning.
The courtyard is divided, except for the courtyard in the middle where Huakai Yuanche lives, and occupies the respective corners of the southeast, north, and west.
The corner where Huakaiyuanqing is located is the east side.
At this time, Master Tongshousi, Hui Lijing, He Tai, Ryosuke, and Urashima, who were already full and satisfied, were looking at the round table in the middle of the yard with wide eyes.
Jason and Miss Shacang were sitting on both sides of the round table, frantically stuffing food into their mouths.
The mouth seems to be completely devoid of chewing, but in reality there are constant crunching and crunching sounds.
The hands holding the chopsticks were so fast that they brought up layers of phantoms.
The whole fish is gone in an instant, and only the bones are left.
The leg of lamb was swallowed one by one, leaving no bones left.
As for the large slices of beef, when the whole plate was served, only the plate remained.
For Jason, everyone has already made some psychological preparations.
After all, everyone knows that Jason can eat.
But Miss Shacang
Everyone is really unprepared.
How could a little girl be so good at eating
More importantly…
1+1>2!
A Jason is already too busy.
Plus Miss Shacang
Beside the two of them, more than a dozen servants were continuously bringing food up.
Every servant is out of breath, with disbelief and exhaustion on their faces.
It's been two hours!
From the beginning of the feast, they have been serving dishes.
Eight people from the beginning.
Up to now two people.
Not only is there no relaxation, but it is getting more and more tired.
Because these two people are too exaggerated.
One person can eat more than ten people.
Not feeling.
but the truth.
Soon, more servants poured into the branch and joined the food delivery queue.
And in the back kitchen, it was even more crowded.
"Everyone, we have welcomed two special guests."
"This is related to the face of our Huakai family."
"Therefore, there is no room for loss."
"Everyone, please work hard!"
The chef who was lying in the Huakai Yuanqing Food and Beverage said solemnly.
"yes!"
All the helpers answered loudly.
Then, with a wave of the chef's hand, everyone got busy.
Even the curious sous chef came over while peeling potatoes and asked.
"Is it a demon?"
The sous chef's voice was very low.
Although monsters are not a taboo in Huakaiyuan's family, they will still be kept.
After all, races are different.
"no."
"It should... isn't it?"
"It looks quite human."
The chef first answered in the affirmative, and then became less certain.
Jason and Miss Shacang really look like human beings.
But can humans eat so much
Especially the girl Shacang who looks soft and weak.
Moreover, demons are good at changing.
It's hard to say whether the two are human or not.
However, there is one thing the chef is sure of.
That is-
Both of them are Master Qing's guests.
The most honorable kind.
"Go to work!"
"We're just servants."
"It must be self-conscious as a subordinate."
The chef said so.
The sous chef nodded immediately, and then worked harder.
With two people taking the lead, the food is getting faster and faster.
Seeing more food being served, Master Tongshousi, Hui Lijing, He Tai, Ryosuke, Urashima and others breathed a sigh of relief.
I should be able to eat now, right
Several people thought of it.
But immediately, several people's eyes widened again.
Because, the food disappears faster than before.
As if, it was a 'warm-up match' before.
Only now does the real game begin.
"I hope Huakaiyuanqing won't be surprised when she comes back."
The female detective whispered.
"The Yihuakaiyuan family's financial resources will definitely not, but... this is too edible, right?"
Ryosuke, who once treated Jason, was trembling when he spoke.
Because, he found out that Jason was actually 'reluctant'.
Didn't Jason even count as a warm-up before
It's really a meal that eats me up for a month... no, a year's salary.
After the middle-aged police detective made an assessment, he felt hopeless.
very simple.
After being rescued by Jason this morning, he thought of taking Jason to dinner again.
But now
Ryosuke was very disappointed.
In order to thank Jason, it was a sincere thank you.
Naturally, I hope that Jason will eat well.
However, this meal is his annual salary.
Moreover, according to the current trend, his salary for one year is not enough.
Despair began to spread.
Because, after Urashima was rescued, he thought the same way.
As the actual payer, he had seen Jason's appetite.
He also thought he understood.
But actually
It's amazing.
Among all the people, the female detective and the wandering onmyoji are calmer.
For a female detective, it was shocking that Jason could eat so much, but if Jason could eat, it was taken for granted and easy to accept.
It is an inexplicable trust.
From every critical moment of Jason's appearance.
But the wandering onmyoji is much simpler.
Isn't it normal for demons to eat
Not to mention the big monster.
As for the old monk of Tongshou Temple
It reminds me of the legend of an ancient country handed down in the temple.
It was a scroll with very ominous words.
The remaining patterns are even more dilapidated.
Much of it is left to guesswork.
But the descriptions of some places are quite detailed.
Son of the Dragon.
Swallow the world.
"Does Jason have that kind of blood?"
"Improbable?"
The old monk of Tongshou Temple thought so.
However, when he saw Jason pick up a roast suckling pig, put the whole roast suckling pig into his mouth with one mouth, and then picked up two roast suckling pigs, this idea could not help but waver up.
"Maybe... not too unlikely."
The old monk of Tongshou Temple thought, clasped his hands together.
Then, the old monk looked outside the courtyard.
Just now, after they all said they were full, Huakai Yuanqing signaled that she would leave temporarily.
As for where to go
Everyone is well aware.
The invitation letter for the 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament' that was promised was actually given to someone else.
No one will ignore it.
Huakaiyuanqing is no exception.
In fact, Huakai Yuanqing had been suppressing her anger.
Huakai Yuanqing is not an idiot, she is naturally very clear why such a situation occurs.
It's nothing more than the fact that the current 'master' has taken advantage of a loophole in the rules.
In Huakai Yuanjia, everyone must obey the rule of 'use only talents'.
And such rules are fair most of the time.
Of course, only most of them.
In this regard, Huakaiyuanqing is too clear.
It was also because Huakai Yuanqing was going to ask about one or two.
However, before leaving his branch in a real sense, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was wearing a black casual clothes, just standing by the roadside, quietly looking at the night sky.
When Huakai Yuanqing came over, the middle-aged man lowered his head and showed a mild smile.
Obviously, the middle-aged man in front of him was just waiting for the flowers to bloom.
Huakai Yuanqing looked at the middle-aged man with surprise, but very respectful.
"My lord father."
Huakai Yuanqing bowed and saluted.
"Qing, can you walk with me?"
Huakai Yuande asked softly.
"certainly."
Huakai Yuanqing replied immediately.
Then, he followed behind his father and walked towards the garden behind the other courtyard.
The garden in the other courtyard is not very big, but it has everything it should have.
Huakai Yuande walked to the completely wooden gazebo, and after the servants lit the lanterns in the gazebo, hung them up, and raised their hands to signal the servants to leave, they sat down on the stool.
Huakai Yuanqing sat opposite.
As Huakai Yuanqing took her seat, Huakai Yuande didn't speak immediately.
But with a little silence.
After a full minute, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke.
"Sunny, sorry."
Huakai Yuande bowed slightly to Huakai Yuanqing.
Huakai Yuanqing immediately stood up, avoiding the direction of Huakai Yuande saluting.
"Father!"
Hua Kaiyuanqing already had some guesses in her heart, but she still raised her hand to support her father.
"Feel sorry."
Huakai Yuande said again.
"I am powerless to prevent the decision of the master's family - I have received a notice, but that is the notice after the master's family has already decided."
"At that time, I was already powerless to prevent the situation from happening. As a father, I was dereliction of duty, and as the head of the branch family, I was also dereliction of duty."
"I'm a loser."
"Since I failed to compete for the 'main house', everything has become your responsibility."
"I never helped you."
"It has also become a burden for you—at the master's house, I have promised to abide by it."
"Sorry."
Once again, I apologize, and this time, Huakai Yuande really owed me.
Huakai Yuanqing, who had already guessed about it just now, wanted to stop it, but was restrained by an invisible force.
He could only watch the flowers bloom and Yuande saluted himself.
And when Huakai Yuande raised his body, the restraining force on Huakai Yuanqing's body dissipated immediately.
"Father!"
Huakai Yuanqing immediately fell to her knees, her head pressed against the floor.
As a son, the education Huakai Yuanqing received from childhood made it impossible for him to accept such a thing.
His father never apologized to him.
Since childhood, there was no lack of clothing and food.
Receive a variety of elite education.
Although it was hard work, I also saw a world that ordinary people cannot see.
Moreover, in such a world, his father acts as an 'umbrella', protecting him from the wind and rain, so that he will not suffer the slightest harm.
Is there anything else you are not satisfied with
Huakaiyuanqing thought it was enough.
As for his grievances
Those grievances and the grievances his father suffered.
Compared with the clan members in the separated family.
What is it
What's more, he hasn't completely lost his chance.
He still has the right to challenge with a wild card!
Thinking of this, Huakai Yuanqing took a deep breath.
"do not worry."
"I will help our family into the Lord's house."
"must!"
Huakai Yuanqing said firmly.
Huakai Yuande smiled and helped his son up.
"It's important to be the host."
"Safety is more important."
"I just hope you can live well."
Huakai Yuande exhorted.
"Don't worry, Father."
"I'm sure this time!"
"My two partners are very reliable - even if we go to compete for the right to participate in the team outside the card, the final champion must be ours."
Huakai Yuanqing said confidently.
Huakai Yuande's face became a little strange.
"What's the matter, Father?"
Huakai Yuanqing looked at her father and asked curiously.
"nothing."
"Two teammates of yours are special."
"Well, special."
Huakai Yuande, who had obviously received some news, seemed a little unsure of what adjectives to use.
special
Huakai Yuanqing was startled.
For her father to know Jason and Miss Sacang, Huakai Yuanqing is not surprised at all.
The power he uses now still belongs to the power of the division.
In other words, it is his father's strength.
Therefore, his father should have known about his actions.
Just such an evaluation
what happened
Huakai Yuanqing thought.
"You don't need to think too much, just do what you want."
"I can't give you more."
"However, I support you."
"Go entertain your friends."
Huakai Yuande said and waved his hand.
"Okay, my lord father."
After Huakai Yuanqing bowed and saluted, she left directly.
Huakai Yuande watched his son leave.
It wasn't until Huakai Yuanqing's figure disappeared that Huakai Yuande left the garden with a sigh.
This place is for those who divide the family to fight for the succession of the 'main family'.
Although he is Huakai Yuanqing's father and the head of a branch family, he is not qualified to stay here.
This is the rule of Huakaiyuan family.
Huakai Yuande has been abiding by it.
And as a son, Huakai Yuanqing.
Also willing to comply.
On the premise of not violating his bottom line.
"Master's house, master's house."
Huakai Yuanqing gritted her teeth and said softly, the light in her eyes made people shudder.
He has too many ideas now.
But no matter what kind of idea it is, he needs to be in the "master's house" in the true sense.
If it fails
Naturally, nothing needs to be mentioned.
Let Huakai Yuanqing take revenge on others under the premise of failure
terribly sorry.
For Huakai Yuanqing, this is more uncomfortable than killing him.
But some people are different.
"Hi, Brother Qing."
Huakaiyuanluo waved his arms at Huakaiyuanqing with a very innocent smile.
Huakai Yuanqing frowned, she didn't want to talk to the other party at all, so she just planned to go around.
For Huakaiyuanluo, Huakaiyuanqing has always been wary.
Because, he knew what kind of person was behind the smiling face of the other party.
Not just killing!
There are calculations!
He suspected that his previous encounters and the layout of the mountain were designed by Huakai Yuanluo.
Therefore, he didn't want to pay attention to each other.
However, Huakaiyuanqing didn't want to pay attention to Huakaiyuanluo, but Huakaiyuanluo stood in the way of Huakaiyuanqing.
"Step aside."
Huakaiyuanqing said coldly.
"Oh, that's really sad."
"What about brotherhood?"
"Brother Qing, you really let me down, I originally planned to tell you..."
Huakaiyuan Lola raised her tone, but Huakaiyuanqing was not fooled at all, and bypassed the other party again, intending to return to her branch.
"Brother Qing, let's cooperate!"
Huakai Yuanluo suddenly raised his voice.
Huakai Yuanqing didn’t even stop in her footsteps, only the words came—
"I'm going to win!"
"I want to win with dignity!"
"oh?"
Huakaiyuanluo looked at Huakaiyuanqing's back and elongated his tone, then said unhurriedly: "Then you should go back quickly, your two partners are..."
"You made a move?"
"If something happens to them, I won't let you go!"
Huakai Yuanqing stopped abruptly, turned her head and looked fiercely at Huakai Yuanluo.
Then, before the flowers bloomed in the courtyard and Luo could speak, he hurried towards his own courtyard.
Only Huakai Yuanluo stood there smiling and shaking his head.
"But it's really edible!"
After he finished speaking this sentence slowly, he laughed again.
"It's really too easy to bully an upright opponent like you."
"I hope you can pass the test."
"Break the boat... it's not that easy!"
