CHAPTER 561 AN ENCOUNTER AT SEA CITY

From the mural in the God’s Tomb, Chen Hao learned that the white-shirt girl was instigated by the old

beggar to separate the coffin from the God. Yet, no one knew where the gravestone of the white-shirt

girl was.

Therefore, when Zhao Yifan mentioned the ancient tomb, Chen Hao immediately made a conjecture.

Could it be that the gravestone of the white-shirt girl was transported to the South Sea after it was

separated, and then buried in the Sea King’s Tomb?

“Where is the Sea King’s Tomb?” Chen Hao could not help but ask.

Zhao Yifan spilled out everything she knew at once.

After listening carefully, Chen Hao felt the urge to pay a visit to that place.

There was a great possibility that the Sea King’s Tomb could be the white-shirt girl’s death bed.

Although Shen Lan said that the girl was beside a river filled with miasma the first time she dreamed

about her, Shen Lan wasn’t a hundred percent sure. The girl could have been beside the sea.

Plus, the Sun Totem had given her a hint, so this could be a significant clue.

“You want to find the Sea King’s Tomb? Chen Hao, the Holy Water Ritual is less than three months

away!” Chen Diancang asked in astonishment when he heard Chen Hao’s plan.

Chen Hao knew that the Holy Water Ritual was equally important, but if he did not find out the matter of

the God, he would be restless every day. Perhaps he could obtain some answers if he found the white-

shirt girl.

“Yes, grandfather. I won’t miss the Holy Water Ritual. Once I’m done with my matters, I will go to you

immediately. Oh right, grandfather. This is the Magical Mirror!” Chen Hao handed the Magical Mirror to

Chen Diancang.

“The Magical Mirror of Mo Canglong?”

“Yes. If you meet him at the Holy Water Ritual, you can command him as you wish. He won’t dare to

refute you!”

“Chen Hao, you…”

Chen Diancang widened his eyes.

Chen Hao took the opportunity to tell him everything that happened in the desert.

“What? Your ability has surpassed that of a Grandmaster?” Chen Diancang was overjoyed with the

news. Overwhelmed with pride, he patted firmly on Chen Hao’s shoulder.

The next day, Chen Hao set off to search for the Sea Palace.

Everyone in the Soul Palace was brought away by his grandfather, while Chen Hao himself instructed

the base members of the Chen Family to stand by to await orders. After all, Chen Hao could use a little

help from his family since the current situation allowed it.

First, he went to a place called Sea City which was located at the coast of Ping Yang. He wanted to

inspect this place.

At this moment, the night had drawn in when Chen Hao disembarked from a ship and walked down the

harbor.

There were still fleets of passenger ships that were stopped at the harbor.

It seemed like there were plenty of tourists here and they gathered in groups or pairs.

Vast sea surrounded the area.

The sea breeze was whistling as Chen Hao took in his surroundings.

This place was given the name of The Corners of The World.

Why was the old beggar so heartless when he separated the white-shirt girl and God? If the white-shirt

girl was buried here, they would truly be at different corners of the world.

Chen Hao stared at the sea as he pondered…

Suddenly, a girl who was standing among a group of tourists in front turned back to look at Chen Hao

and shouted abruptly, “Chen Hao?”

Chen Hao was surprised and snapped out of his thoughts. He felt that the fashionably-dressed city girl

who wore a pair of sunglasses and a sun hat was familiar yet foreign.

“You are?”

“I am Li Yali, remember? Did you forget me just because I graduated a year earlier than you?” The city

girl took off her sunglasses and revealed her smiling face. She was tall and slender, adorned with a

stunning face.

“Oh, it’s you!” Chen Hao finally recalled.

Chen Hao definitely knew this girl. When he first came to study in Jin Ling College, Li Yali was in her

second year. Later on, she became the president of the student union.

That time, Chen Hao was poor so he needed to work while studying. Therefore, he was quite familiar

with Li Yali.

Chen Hao did not recognize her at first glance because Li Yali was wearing sunglasses, and her make-

up skills had improved compared to the past.

To be honest, Chen Hao had no special feelings for her.

In his memory, she was a highly-capable woman who was an expert in socializing with people.

During her college year, she dated a guy. Usually, other girls would just find a boy from their college as

their lover, but Li Yali was different. She was in a relationship with a divorced manager of a local

enterprise in Jin Ling.

Once, on Li Yali’s birthday, the manager had set up numerous fireworks at every corner of the campus.

That night, the entire campus was lit up and it was breathtaking.

Li Yali was undeniably the most admired and enviable girl in the whole college that night.

Of course, the deepest impression was made the next morning when Li Yali called Chen Hao to clean

up the scraps of fireworks in the campus.

That morning, he had earned 100 and treated Yang Xia to a meal of KFC! However, he still had to fork

out another 50.

That was all that happened between them. After all, he did not have what it took to be her friend.

Therefore, when she came over to greet him, Chen Hao was surprised.

“Yali, why did you come to Sea City?”

Chen Hao took a glance behind Li Yali, where a group of people were standing. Judging from their

attire, they seemed like people from high society.

Due to the natural geographical advantages, Sea City was economically advanced.

“We need to attend an event organized by the Chamber of Commerce these few days, so my business

partners and I came to Sea City to have some fun! You do know that I have a cosmetic company,

right?” Li Yali tidied her hair while she replied with a smile.

“You’re awesome!” Chen Hao said perfunctorily.

At this moment, Li Yali’s business partners finally saw them and walked toward them.

A middle-aged man who was obviously close with Li Yali furrowed his eyebrows as he asked, “Yali,

who is this?”

“Him? He was my junior in college. Didn’t we speak about it before? When I was in college, there was Content is property © .

an extremely poor boy there. That’s him! At that time, he could barely afford his meals, and all the

clothes that he wore were patched up. He would work part-time every day during his studies and had to

run errands for others to earn a living. Not only that, he also had to pay his school fees by himself!” Li

Yali rattled on to her friends continuously.

Her friends gaped at her speech.

“Someone that poor actually exists?”

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

“Yeah. Unimaginable, right? There’s more. Even in that condition, Chen Hao managed to get a

girlfriend!”

Her words left everyone even more surprised.

At this moment, Li Yali realized that Chen Hao had not said anything and was looking at her

nonchalantly.

She then realized she might have spoken a bit too much today.

Therefore, she smiled awkwardly. “Chen Hao, it’s fate that we got to meet again. Did you come to

attend Sea City’s Sea Heaven Grand Banquet too?” she asked.

“No.” Chen Hao shook his head.

“Yali, that question is redundant. You said yourself that he’s poor, so why would he attend the Sea

Heaven Grand Banquet?” a girl walked over and interrupted.

“You’re right. Chen Hao, we’re ex-classmates. If I had sufficient entrance tickets, I would have invited

you. Oh yeah, Chen Hao, later on, can you download an app on your phone? Our company’s products

are on it. Our company has just started business, so we need to distribute our products urgently. You

can be the agent! Don’t worry, our company has cosmetic products that are specifically developed for

the people living in the bottom of the society like you. That product is for the low-end market, and you

can promote it to your circle!” Li Yali said.

After that, she told Chen Hao the specific procedure to sign up to be an agent without giving him any

chance to reject. She also gave him the contact number and the name card of the regional manager.

“It’s getting late and we have to enter the city now. I’ll ask my manager to give you special treatment!”

Li Yali smiled at Chen Hao and left after waving at him.

Chen Hao looked at their backs and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Li Yali had not changed at all…

Chen Hao threw away the name card and strolled along the coast while pondering. The night became

darker and there were only a few tourists around.

Suddenly, he saw a few boats gliding across the sea.

There were four or five speed boats chasing after the one in front of them…
