At this time, in a private room in the attic on the west side of the square. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed......"

"Very good......

……

Turning his gaze back to the square, a beautiful girl in bright yellow clothes walked up, followed by thirty-two boys and girls who looked the same age.

There were sixty-four people in all, all of whom were of similar age and followed the princess. Now on this occasion, there will be a coming-of-age ceremony with the princess.

Men and women stand on two sides.

The man on the left, dressed in black.

The woman on the right, dressed in moon white.

Under the leadership of the princess, boys and girls face the north and bow in salute, implying that they pay tribute to the warriors who protect the land. Roughly because of the ancient Chinese kingdom, the northern wars continued, and the tradition of praying for the blessings of the northern soldiers was passed down at the coming-of-age ceremony.

Then sixty-four people appeared, each holding a crown in his hand.

At the same time, the high-crowned woman reappeared, and unlike the others, the crown on her hand was extremely gorgeous, as if woven by phoenix feathers, and the bright yellow color was faintly circulating, and the brilliance was dazzling.

Then, the high-crowned woman first put on the crown for the princess Zhao Ling'er, and the other sixty-four people followed.

At this point, the coming-of-age ceremony is largely completed.

After that, it was time for the dinner party prepared for the dignitaries.

……

The dinner was a Western buffet style.

In the middle of the square, a variety of dishes are served and can be taken by anyone.

did not leave their seats, Qi Xiao and his sister sat in place, but Qi Sihan, who was the elder sister, and Xiao Yun's mother, Yang Yi, went to get food for everyone.

So boring...... For the first time, there was a really obvious sense of boredom, and Qi Xiao faintly felt that it was the reason for 'him'.

So what's the point of this kind of banquet? Qi Xiao began to explicitly question this time-wasting.

Qi Xiao was a little strange, and thought in his heart that it was rumored that among the royal family, Zhao Ling'er was the most favored, but it was obviously a once-in-a-lifetime coming-of-age ceremony, and neither the emperor nor the empress attended, and there were many people from the side branches of the royal family, and even her brothers and sisters did not come.

At this time, the sister next to him pulled his sleeve.

"Brother, Sister Ling'er is so beautiful."

"Hmm."

"Also, look at the attic opposite, is it the golden retriever you met in the hotel?"

Qi Xiao looked up, and the blonde man he had only met today was standing by the attic window, looking at the crowd talking to each other in the square.

frowned, faintly had a bad premonition, and only listened to his sister's voice again.

"Hehe~~~ He must have been scared by you, and he didn't dare to go downstairs now."

"Qi Xiao, do you have a conflict with that man?"

Xiao Yun interjected at the right time, but the cordiality of calling him by name made Qi Xiao a little irritable.

"And it didn't ......"

Already somewhat familiar with the way this handsome boy spoke, Xiao Yun didn't care, only to hear Qi Sihan add: "Today, that golden retriever has to eat with my sister, and then my brother used a little bit of ability to drive him away, and he was ...... at the time."

Well done! Xiao Yun thought that if he was there, he would do it like Qi Xiao.

- But he's too weak to beat even a teenager.

Thinking to himself, he unconsciously showed a look of disdain towards the man in the attic.

As if sensing something, the blonde man in the attic vanished.

But for a minute.

The blonde man appeared in the square, greeting each other from time to time with people passing by, apparently very popular.

His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even Zhao Ling'er went to talk to him in person.

――Who the hell is this? The status doesn't seem to be low......

Feeling a little wrong, Xiao Yun finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of prince is that foreign man?" Why does even the princess have to greet in person? ”

"No, that's a disciple of Thor."

Qi Sihan said it lightly, but Xiao Yun's heart turned up turbulent waves-Disciple of the Thunder God! The one who is one step away from being an S-rank master! In other words, why is the other party's appearance somewhat familiar......

turned his head and glanced at Qi Xiao, who was expressionless, and thought, I was afraid that the other party was afraid of reputation, so he let the child ......

Just as they were thinking to themselves, they saw the blonde man walking towards them.

"Long time no see, Qi Xiao."

Gu Ran was full of enthusiasm, as if he had seen a good friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"First, we only met this afternoon. Second, I don't think I told you my name......"

A cold voice sounded, especially Qi Sihan, who had been paying attention to his brother, could faintly detect a hint of irritability.

――My brother is so abnormal today, aren't you used to really noisy places? That's right, my brother just likes to be 'in a daze'......

"Oh, don't be like this, since we've met, we're friends, why don't you invite me to sit now?"

Qi Xiao hadn't spoken yet, but Xiao Yun next to him stood up and spoke first.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Gu Ran, it is said that your ability is about to reach the S level, and in our generation, you are the only one who stands out."

Turning his head and looking at this delicate man, Gu Ran coped with it without leaking: "Where, the ancient Chinese saying is good, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, I don't dare to be arrogant." ”

After a pause, he looked at Qi Xiao and continued: "For example, Qi Xiao, his ability is much stronger than mine. ”

- Much stronger! This is a liar, right...... You don't need that for children......

Xiao Yun was a little speechless, but still said in a tone that made people feel like a spring breeze: "Mr. Gu Ran, I am very curious about your experience of killing strange beasts, why don't we go over there and talk?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Ran smiled slightly, glanced at the Qi Xiao brothers and sisters, and did not refuse, and said, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"You're so polite"

"Where ......"

The sound fades away, and the atmosphere becomes lighter.

It just so happened that Qi Sihan and Yang Yi came back with food.

"What about Xiaoyun? How did he disappear. ”

"Auntie, he's chatting with his friends over there."

"That's not true! I left you here. ”

Seeing that Yang Yi had a tendency to play on the topic, Qi Siya hurriedly pulled her and said, "Auntie, let's sit down first, and he will come back later." ”

The effect of this aunt was completely different from Qi Sihan's, and the smile on Yang Yi's face was simply undisguised, and she sat down.

For Qi Sihan, at first, there was some gossip about what his sister would do with that Xiao Yun, but now he was bored again.

――My brother is in a bad mood, why don't you go for a walk with him in a place where there are fewer people?

With a roll of his eyes, Qi Sihan said to his sister: "Sister, let's go find Sister Ling'er, I haven't seen her for a long time~~~~"

“…… It's okay, after all, it's her rite of passage. ”

As he spoke, he got up with his sister. And Qi Sihan took his brother's hand very naturally and said, "Brother, you can go too." ”

Hardly ever rejected his sister, and this time was no different, so the three of them entered the square and walked towards the brightest place of the night......
