Walking out of the school gate, Aotian immediately pulled his legs and quickly ran home, he didn't go home for a year, to be honest, Aotian really missed Aunt Maria and her food.

"Auntie, I'm back. ”

As soon as he entered the door of the small courtyard, Aotian shouted.

"Oh, Aotian is back, come on, go get some rest. ”

Seeing Aotian come back, Maria put down what she was busy doing, walked over and touched Aotian and said.

"It's okay, Auntie, I'm not tired, you're still doing laundry?"

Seeing the clothes on the side, Aotian asked.

"yes, I just washed it, no, you're back. “

"Auntie, I'll help you"

"Gotta go get some rest, it's still early, I'll be busy soon, wait to get you something to eat!"

"No, I just came back here, let's eat together at noon. ”

Hearing Mary's words, Aotian replied.

"Well, that's fine, you can go to the hall at noon and eat with your family! Today is your 16th birthday. ”

Thinking that today is Aotian's birthday, Maria sighed and said. Yes, today is Aotian's 16th birthday, and after today, Aotian is an adult, although he has grown up, but in his eyes he is always that child.

"Oh, 16 years old? Yes, yes, 16 years old! Thank you, Auntie, thank you for your birthday. ”

Hearing Maria's words, Aotian said with emotion. Growing up, Aunt Maria probably remembered her birthday. As for those people in the family, they probably forgot about themselves! Thinking of this, Aotian's eyes couldn't help but dim.

"Aotian, Auntie will prepare some delicious things for you in the evening, and you will go to the house to eat at noon, after all, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, although there is no celebration banquet, but I think your father and they will probably wait for you to come back." ”

Seeing Aotian's expression and eyes, Maria couldn't help but comfort. The 16th birthday is a very important event for any child on the mainland, because after today, it means that a person has a child who has become an adult and has his own decision. No child will hold a banquet for them at the age of 16, especially the children of aristocratic families, just like the elder brothers and sisters of Aotian, the banquet they held when they were 16 years old was very grand, and almost all the nobles of the imperial capital were invited to participate. But Aotian's 16-year-old is so cold! Although Maria is also angry, she is also helpless, this is not a decision that she can make.

"Well, thank you, Auntie, I'll go and rest first. ”

Hearing Mary's words, Aotian replied.

"Well, then you can go. ”

At the moment when Aotian turned around, Maria clearly saw his lost and melancholy eyes, which pierced Maria's heart deeply.

Aotian, who returned to the room, did not rest, but sat on the bed in a daze! Although he had no feelings with the people in the family, on his 16th birthday today, the family's approach was really sad.

"I guess I was really abandoned by my family. Hey, forget it, haven't you been like this for the past 8 years or even the past 16 years, why do you want to do so much? Let's cultivate well! Only with strong strength can you get the attention of others!"

After thinking about it in bed for a while, Aotian is more thorough understanding of this society, and now Aotian desperately wants to have strong strength.

Enduring the unbearable pain, Aotian continued to practice burning bones over and over again, from just now, Aotian made a decision, that is, to have a strong strength and increase his strength, so he decided to continue to expand his daily cultivation time.

"Aotian, it's almost time, you can take a break. ”

Seeing Aotian's unusual performance today, the bright dark night * battle reminded.

"It's okay, Master, I can continue!"

After answering the words of the dark night, Aotian continued to hold on.

"Alas!"

Seeing Aotian's actions, the night * battle was also helpless, and sighed helplessly, and did not stop Aotian's cultivation.

Finally, after two hours of twice the usual time, Aotian finally couldn't hold on and stopped practicing.

Lying on the bed, Aotian couldn't stop gasping, his pale face and lips and his sweaty head showed his state at the moment.

Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, Aotian struggled to get up and prepare to take a bath! Recalling the burning of his bones over and over again just now, and feeling the feeling of removing impurities and recombining, Aotian couldn't help but sigh, "This is really unbearable." But I won't give up, I have to persevere, I must be a strong person!"

Encourage yourself to look at the time, it was close to noon, so he let Xiaobai out, and then quickly went to take a bath.

"Aotian, what are you doing? It's noon, let's go to the hall!"

Aotian, who was still bathing, suddenly heard Maria's voice.

"Auntie, I'm taking a bath, I'll go after washing, soon!"

Aotian hurriedly replied.

"Oh, that's it, then hurry up!"

Hearing Aotian's words, Maria had no choice but to urge.

After taking a bath, Aotian still found a set of white robes and put them on, tidied up his clothes and hair, and prepared to forget the hall and walk.

"Treading the snow, you obediently wait here for me to come back!

Before going out, Aotian specially turned his head to the snow that was lying on the bed at the moment. Then he walked quickly down the hall.

"Hello grandfather, father, uncle, brother and sister!"

Aotian, who walked into the hall, saw that everyone was greeting everyone one by one today. In fact, Aotian's second brother Long Yu is also 19 years old this year, and he has also reached the strength of the Great Swordsman, because the students of the Advanced Academy can apply for graduation after reaching the Senior Swordsman, so Long Yu applied for graduation for a long time ago and also went to serve in the uncle's army. As for Long Qian, he was promoted to study in the senior college district last year. So for Aotian, I haven't seen you for a year.

"Well, Aotian, you're back!"

The first dragon replied when he saw Aotian coming.

I haven't seen him for a year, and everyone here who sees Aotian again can't help but sigh that Aotian has really grown up! I saw that the current Aotian is 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white robe, bronzed skin, and a firm but not rough muscle, coupled with perfect body proportions and fiery red hair, giving people the first impression of a handsome young man! In addition, the facial features that seem to be God's masterpieces show his handsomeness! And the sharp eyes highlight the momentum of Aotian! Seeing this, it also makes these people who usually don't care much about Aotian can't help but sigh, a talent, but unfortunately it is a ~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes!"

Aotian, who answered, made it to a position in the far corner of the table.

"Aotian, today is your 16th birthday coming-of-age, right?"

At this time, seeing Aotian seated, Long Ming said.

"Yes, yes. “

Hearing Long Ming's question, Aotian replied. It's just that the sharp eyes that were still vigorous just now are now answering the times with a trace of loneliness and a trace of sadness! Although it was only a flash, the sadness that was revealed was still discovered by the people who were doing it. You must know that anyone you are doing can be regarded as a martial arts master, and the worst one has the level of a high-level swordsman, and this change was of course quickly discovered by them.
