Chapter XXIII: Rites of Passage

Time flies, a month of time, in the blink of an eye, it is in a hurry, and today happens to be the day when the Xiao family holds a coming-of-age ceremony, so Xiao Yue was pulled out of the comfortable and warm quilt by Zhao Yi early in the morning, although he was very unwilling, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Zhao Yi in the end.

"Anyway... What the hell is going on with this broken bead, and why is it recovering?"

In the neat hut, while Zhao Yi was making breakfast, Xiao lazily spread out on the bed again, squinting his eyes and looking at the black mysterious bead in his hand. The bead body, which had originally become dull because of the creation of "The Secret of Absolute Life", at this moment, not only restored the original black smoothness, but became more profound and mysterious, and seemed to have begun to recover, this change made Xiao Yue feel very puzzled while being surprised...

And it was very coincidental that this kind of anomaly began to appear on the day Xiao Yue tried to blow up the Heaven-shattering Thunder. At first, Xiao Yue thought it was just a coincidence, and it was completely the self-recovery effect of Heizhu itself.

However, later, with the cooperation with Zhao Peng, the Heaven-Shaking Thunder began to be sold in large quantities to major cities in the empire, and the speed of the mysterious black bead began to recover rapidly. Coupled with the previous coincidental temporality, it is difficult for Xiao Yue not to connect the two, and thus guess the relationship between the two.

Neither the Mysterious Black Bead nor the Heaven-Shaking Thunder are things in this world, and the recovery of the Mysterious Black Bead is really related to the Heaven-Shaking Thunder? Is that because of the large number of Heaven-Shaking Thunder circulating in this world, or is it the result of the large number of killings caused by it?

"But... This kind of fucking style,How does it feel a little familiar.,It's like the main god in an infinite novel or like those who have no discipline in the system flow.,No lower limit pit daddy system!Speaking of which,This thing's ability is also very weird.,And it's still coming to this originally illusory world by itself.,It won't really have anything to do with some bullshit main god!Could it be that my grandfather is still a reincarnation!"

"Then do I want to do some mission or something, or change the development of the plot, and then get a reward or something, and finally complete the ultimate mission, be summoned back to Earth by the main god, and then start the next mission plot...... Ahem... Well, the brain hole seems to be a little wider!"

Shaking his head to shake off the mess in his mind, he continued to stare at Heizhu's face for a while, and Xiao Yue let out a helpless sigh. Although he was getting more and more curious about it, he really didn't dare to do some random experiments with it to prove his guesses, or to figure out what it did.

The devil knows what the consequences will be after messing around, he can't guarantee that if something goes wrong again, he will recover again, after the last fright, he has no courage to try again!

After staring at the mysterious bead like a fool for a long time, Xiao Yue shook her head helplessly and muttered, "I don't know what you are, I hope you can surprise me in the future, right?"

Slowly standing up straight, Xiao Yue didn't plan to lie in bed, he didn't want Zhao Yi to forcibly drag him out of bed again, it was really embarrassing, where is the dignity of a man!

Slowly took out a set of decent white clothes from the wardrobe, and just changed clothes, the old wooden door was pushed open with a "creak"...

Zhao Yi walked into the room with breakfast and walked into the room with lotus steps, her eyebrows spread lightly, and she chuckled: "Hehe... Xiao Yueyue, come and have breakfast, and then hurry up and go to see the coming-of-age ceremony with Xiao Li, it is said that there are a lot of big people here today, and it will be very lively!"

Listening to Zhao Yi's voice, Xiao Yue frowned, a little helpless, and said: "I said mother, why do you have to let me go to see that kind of boring thing? Cough... It's better to stay at home and cultivate!"

"Hmph... You stinky boy, you are as young as a little old man, you stay at home all day long, cultivating! You can't do anything other than cultivating! You are too withdrawn to make a girlfriend!" patted Xiao Yue's little head lightly, Zhao Yi's willow eyebrows were raised, and he said angrily.

"My girlfriend who can't even be seen by ghosts... What is this?" Sitting down dejectedly, resting her chin on the dining table, Xiao Yue pursed her lips and muttered. However, when he saw Zhao Yi's wonderful eyes, he quickly said, "Okay... Okay, I'll just go! Isn't it just a coming-of-age ceremony, what's the big deal!"

"Hee-hee... That's right, Xiao Yueyue is so good!" Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"Aren't you going with you?" Xiao Yue said suspiciously when she saw that she was dressed in formal clothes.

"Don't go, if the shop in Fang City is shown to others, I don't worry, I'll still watch it myself, the coming-of-age ceremony... Anyway, there's nothing to look at, a bunch of little kids!" Zhao Yi's beautiful face was full of disdain, and he said calmly.

Xiao Yue's little face suddenly darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You know that you are bored and let me go, what do you mean?"

"Hmm... What's not to do... Full... Is it?"

Seeing the other party's smiling autumn eyes, there was a sense of danger in her heart, Xiao Yue's little face collapsed, and suddenly withered again...

"No... No, I'll just go..."That expression is as aggrieved as it is, and as weak as it is weak.

………………

If a family wants to maintain its longevity, the most important thing is to maintain its vitality, and the source of vitality is the younger generation in the family, they are the fresh blood of the family.

Therefore, the coming-of-age ceremony is a big day that every family attaches great importance to, and the Xiao family is no exception.

As one of the three major families in Utan City, the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony naturally attracted the attention of all forces in the city, and some friendly forces were directly invited to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Yo, Xiao Yezi, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why are you so grinding?" Xiao Yue had just arrived at the venue where the ceremony was held, and Xiao Li saw him at a glance with sharp eyes, and immediately shouted, walked up to him violently, and asked angrily.

"Well, what's the hurry, hasn't it started yet... Brother Xiao Ding!" Xiao Yue glanced at the platform that had just been erected, and when she saw that there was no one on it, she pursed her lips indifferently, and then said hello to Xiao Ding, who was following Xiao Li.

"Uh, you guy...!" was a little speechless, Xiao Li still muttered very dissatisfied.

"By the way, Xiao Yezi, grandpa, they asked you to go to him!" Xiao Ding said at this time.

"Is there anything the teacher is looking for me?" Hearing this, Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts.

"I don't know, you'll know when you go!"

Seeing that Xiao Ding shook his head and smiled apologetically to himself, Xiao Yue didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and walked towards Xiao Lin and the others who were surrounded in the crowd with their two brothers.

"Xiao Yue's nephew is here!" Xiao Zhan was the first to see Xiao Yue and the three of them, and immediately stopped talking to people, and greeted him cordially, seeing Xiao Li, who was following Xiao Yue, pouting with some surprise.

"Xiao Yue has seen the teacher, and I have seen the patriarchs and elders!"

"Hehe... It's good to be here!" Xiao Lin and the others all smiled and nodded when they saw him.

"Little boy, we're meeting again!" but Zhao Peng, who had met more than a month ago, was also here, smiled lightly, and took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Mr. Zhao hasn't seen you for a long time, but I've been fine lately!" Xiao Yue saw Zhao Peng, and her little face suddenly smiled very well, he had a very good impression of this guy who indirectly earned a lot of money for him.

"Hehe...!" Zhao Peng nodded with a chuckle.

"Come, Xiao Yezi, let me introduce you!" Xiao Lin suddenly beckoned to Xiao Yue, and then let out a middle-aged python-robed man in his thirties or forties, with a majestic appearance and an indifferent expression, and smiled at Xiao Yue: "This is the city lord of our Utan City newly appointed by the empire, Lord Sikong!"

As he spoke, he gave Xiao Yue an inexplicable look.

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, and then understood that it should be someone from the royal family, nodded understandingly, and said respectfully to Sikong Jue: "Boy Xiao Yue has seen Sikong City Lord!"

"You are Old Man Xiao's apprentice, um... Not bad, not bad, work hard, don't be ashamed of Old Man Xiao's teaching to you!" Sikong Jue glanced at Xiao Yue lightly, and said a little perfunctorily.

In his opinion, although Xiao Yue has a reputation as a genius in the Xiao family, he has seen many geniuses in the imperial capital, and he doesn't think that the genius of this Utan City is amazing, in this kind of place, pheasants can be regarded as phoenixes, not to mention that his own son is also a well-known genius in the imperial capital. If it weren't for Xiao Yue's identity as your disciple of Xiao Lin, he wouldn't even have taken a second look.

Xiao Lin also saw Sikong Jue's contempt for his own disciples, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but thinking of the power represented by the other party, he forcibly suppressed this dissatisfaction, and pulled out a smile at Sikong Jue and smiled: "Sikong City Lord, this coming-of-age ceremony will not start for a while, let's not stand here, the VIP seat is ready, please sit down." ”

Sikong Jue nodded and said indifferently: "Okay, it's hard work!"

The contempt in Sikong Jue's eyes, Xiao Yue, who was sensitive to soul power, naturally noticed it, but he still had some dissatisfaction, because he knew very well that the strong in this world were respected, and he really didn't have any capital that people valued too much now.

Therefore, he only chuckled in his heart, but he did not have any resentment.
