Chapter 39: Rite of Passage
Situ Zheng, accompanied by Lin Xueying, also came to the square of Situ's house.
The moment Situ Zheng walked into the square, he immediately became the focus of the audience.
Everyone who came to visit here was looking at Situ Zheng, the young patriarch of the Situ family who had returned from the city of Donglin for ten years.
The temperament exuded by Situ Zheng is too similar to Situ Yu, but it is slightly different, Situ Yu is cold and reveals a trace of elegance, while Situ Zheng is cold and tyrannical, Situ Zheng, who has just walked out of the Illusion Forest, still has a strong murderous aura after all.
"Zheng'er, it's time for you to behave, and I'll leave first."
After speaking, Lin Xueying gave Situ Zheng an encouraging look, and then went to Situ Yu's side.
Situ Zheng nodded, of course he had absolute confidence.
"Mother don't worry, I won't disgrace you and my father."
"I've seen the Four Princes."
"Madame doesn't have to be polite."
Seeing the four princes, Lin Xueying also saluted, and the four princes also replied with a salute.
In the center of the square gathered the younger generation of the Situ family who were going to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony this year, among which Situ Qingtian and Situ Fan, who also had a holiday with Situ Zheng.
Seeing Situ Zheng coming, the rest came to greet Situ Zheng, only Situ Qingtian and Situ Fan lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Situ Zheng.
Situ Zheng didn't care about the two of them, and didn't pay attention to them at all, which made them breathe a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
At this time, Situ Lin ran over with a playful face, and patted Situ Zheng's shoulder playfully, wanting to talk to Situ Zheng.
"Hey!"
As a result, Situ Zheng just turned his head to look at her, and then stopped talking.
"Why are you like this, it's really annoying, hum!"
Situ Lin, who was deflated, looked angry, stomped his feet, turned around, and ignored Situ Zheng.
Situ Zheng thought Situ Lin was very interesting, but this didn't mean that he was willing to pay too much attention to her.
It is worth mentioning that everyone stood behind Situ Zheng, and no one dared to cross Situ Zheng, he looked like a leader at this time.
The people around him naturally noticed this, you must know that before Situ Zheng came back, Situ Qingtian was the first person to occupy the title of the younger generation of the Situ family all the year round, and Situ Zheng only returned for one day, so that Situ Qingtian could walk behind him with his head bowed, and Situ Zheng's wrist could also be seen, and the people around him also began to discuss.
"This leader should be Situ Zheng, the young patriarch of the Situ family, he was the hottest topic of the same position as Bai Yudi, the son of General Bai, and now that he has returned, Bai Yudi has been famous for a long time, I don't know if the young patriarch Situ can catch up."
"It's hard to say, after all, the younger generation of the Situ family led by Situ Qingtian is obviously weaker than the Bai family led by Bai Yudi, but fortunately, the young patriarch of the Bai family has a modest personality and doesn't like to fight, otherwise the younger generation of the Situ family will definitely be bullied."
"Despite this, but the young patriarch of Situ Zheng can be said to be the return of the king, looking at the posture, he should have successfully gained a firm foothold, you see that Situ Qingtian is honestly walking behind him, and the battle between the juniors in this winter city should be more and more interesting in the future."
The bar mitzvah will be presided over by a senior deacon who will lead the little ones through the bar mitzvah.
"Children, today is one of the most important days of your life, from now on, you will be adults, you are the future of the Situ family, and I will accompany you through the last bit of your most childish time, I declare! The coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun! ”
For Situ Zheng and them, there is only one part of the coming-of-age ceremony, that is, the talent test, after all, there are not too many rules and regulations in the Lingyu Continent, where the strong are respected, even in the coming-of-age ceremony.
In the middle of the square is a stone tablet, which is specially used to test talents, and the stone tablet can be used to obtain the results of the subject's physical information through the touch of the tester.
There are seven levels of talent, from lowest to highest, they are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, and the results of the test will be determined by the color displayed on the stone tablet.
In fact, the so-called coming-of-age ceremony, the protagonists are naturally these young juniors, but for the others present, the coming-of-age ceremony has become a political banquet, and everyone has their own goals.
"Next, please read the name in front of the stone tablet and take a talent test!"
The deacons began to shout the names of the young men one by one, and those whose names were read began to be tested in front of the stone tablets.
A group of young people began to be restless, and the future status in the family and how many resources can be allocated depends on today.
Even Situ Qingtian and Situ Fan, who had been drooping their heads before, were excited.
"Situ Jing!"
A direct descendant was shouted his name, and he walked to the stone tablet with an excited face.
He reached out and touched the stele, and after a while, the stele released a deep cyan light, which was considered a superior talent.
Among talents of the same level, the way to judge the level of talent is to look at the color of the stone tablet.
"Hahaha! Great, it's cyan, I'm cyan talented! ”
Situ Jing was ecstatic, cyan and blue are superior talents, after all, those who can have purple talents are peerless geniuses that are rare in a hundred years.
"That's right, cyan superior talent, the next one, Situ Hongjun!"
This time it was a side disciple whose name was read, and he looked a little nervous, and when he came to the stele, he trembled and reached out to touch it, and then began a short but long wait.
It was only two breaths, but it felt like hours had passed.
The results came out, whether it was red, or light red.
At this moment, Situ Hongjun sat down on the ground, and his life seemed to have become gray.
"It's over, it's all over, am I going to be assigned to the clan like this?"
He was desperate, he was born in the headquarters of the Situ family, but he was not necessarily able to stay, because of the Situ family's regulations, but those whose talents were lower than green were all assigned to the clan, and there was no chance to return to the family headquarters again.
Waste is not entitled to the family's resources, this is the ruthlessness of the big family.
"Next ......"
The deacon's expression was indifferent, and he had presided over the family coming-of-age ceremony for many years, and he had seen too much of this kind of thing, and he was not surprised.
"Hehe, this kind of talent is quite worthy of you side waste, it's better to be assigned to the branch clan as soon as possible, so as not to be an eyesore at the headquarters."
The direct descendants even made a merciless mockery, and the side relatives were angry, but they didn't dare to attack, after all, they really didn't dare to provoke the direct children.
In this way, this group of young people tested their talents one by one, and the talents were different, so naturally some people were happy and some were worried.
"Situ Lin!"
It was Situ Lin's turn, she came to the stele with an excited face, but she couldn't wait for a long time.
Under Situ Lin's expectant gaze, the stele lit up, and it was a dark blue that was close to purple.
The square boiled instantly, although the dark blue talent was small, but a big family like the Situ family could produce at least two or three every year, and other families could also have one or two at any time every year, so the dark blue talent would not make everyone lose their temper so much.
But you must know that Situ Lin is a woman, in the cultivation realm, men's talent is generally higher than that of women, although there are also extremely talented female monks, but after all, they are only a very few.
Situ Lin suddenly became a sweetheart, and all families began to gear up, wanting to marry Situ Lin and the Situ family.
"Hahaha, Miss Ben is really a genius!"
Everyone was shocked, only Situ Lin was still so heartless, with a simple self-satisfied face.
At the same time, he also issued a provocative gaze at Situ Zheng, of course, Situ Zheng chose to ignore it.
"Congratulations, Ninth Elder."
Situ Yu congratulated Situ Zhanjiang, Situ Zhanjiang also supported Situ Yu's faction, plus they were of the same generation, and the relationship was also very good.
"Hahaha, thank you Patriarch."
It can be seen that Situ Zhanjiang is also very happy, although Situ Lin is a daughter, he still loves his daughter and me very much.
"Hahaha, congratulations, it's really a tiger father and a dogless girl, Lin'er didn't embarrass you, I'm afraid you'll be busy next."
The Great Elder also congratulated him, and also half-jokingly ridiculed Situ Zhanjiang.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations ......"
Everyone came over to congratulate Situ Zhanjiang, and at the same time, it also fulfilled the ridicule of the great elder, and all the family representatives came to propose marriage to Situ Zhanjiang, which gave him a little headache.
However, Situ Zhanjiang refused one by one, he is not the kind of old-fashioned person, he doesn't want to interfere too much in Situ Lin's marriage, this kind of thing is still about you and me.
