In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, Yan Lan exhaled a deep breath of turbidity and slowly opened his eyes.

"I didn't sleep all night, and strangely, I actually saw another statue of a god, and a statue of Buddha, hugging each other tightly. ”

"How could God be with the Buddha, it's really inexplicable. It seems that I have cultivated too diligently, and I have cultivated illusions. ”

Yan Lan shook his head, patted his head, and muttered softly with a helpless expression.

At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the house.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, some voices with banter and mockery continued to reach Yan Lan's ears.

"Son of the worm, don't get up yet, today is a lively day, don't be scared to wet the bed!"

"Ouch, little bugs will wet the bed, and will only cower and hide. Today's promotion ceremony, I dare to conclude that the little bugs definitely don't have the guts to participate. ”

"That's not it, the little bug was bullied by us, and he never dared to let a fart go, how could he have the guts to participate in the promotion ceremony of the youth group. In previous years, the ceremonies were extremely cruel, and more than eighty percent of the people in the children's group were eliminated. ”

"Cut, the son of the worm has the courage to participate, and can successfully advance to the junior group, my name Yan Lingkun...... Recite it upside down. ”

"Let's go, let's go, what are you doing with this coward. Hurry, go early, maybe there will be a good show. ”

“......”

Yan Lan heard these voices, his eyes were angry, his muscles flared up, his teeth were clenched, and his fists were shaking violently.

Twelve-year-old Yan Lan, although not handsome, has thick eyebrows, high bundles of green silk, and a sharp and angular face.

Today, it is the annual promotion ceremony of the Yan clan, and the 12-year-old clan members of the family will be promoted from the children's group to the juvenile group.

Yan Lan jumped off the bed, looked at the door angrily, and burst out in a low voice between her clenched teeth: "Son of the worm, little worm, I hate these names." Why, why did I ask my father where I came from, and my father told me to sue others, I am the son of heaven, the proud son of heaven. ”

However, instead of gaining respect and kindness for me, they redoubled their ridicule and bullying me. Is my origin really that despicable?"

Yan Lan has always wanted to know why she is humble. But he never asked for a definite answer from his father.

However, there are rumors in the family that his grandfather fornicated with a wild woman and gave birth to his wild father, and his father was not married to a Ming media, but gave birth to him with a lowly woman of unknown origin.

The Yan clan rules are extremely strict, and the important people in the family are all born in the family of Ming Media Marrying. The kind of love that is not a good match, especially with a lowly woman, has always been spurned by the clansmen, which is despicable.

Yan Lan had never seen his mother, not even the elders of the clan. Mother, like a mystery, is a zài.

His father would only sue him, and although his mother was not from a famous family, she was by no means humble. As for where the mother went, she kept it secretive and didn't say a word.

Therefore, Yan Lan has suffered from the white eyes of the clansmen since he was a child, he struggled, he resisted, but he was bullied more by the clansmen.

His father told him that if words cannot be fought for and strength cannot be opposed, then forbearance and diligence are the best choices.

Therefore, since joining the children's group, Yan Lan has remained silent in the face of any bullying.

Yan Lan knew in his heart that he urgently needed a remarkable ritual to prove to his people that he was not a bad breed or a coward. For ten years, he worked harder and harder than any of his peers.

Even, in every silent night, when other people's children were sleeping soundly, he was silently doing penance alone.

In the past ten years, he has endured what others can't endure and fight what others dare not fight, in order to win a little dignity for his father and make himself less humiliated.

And today is the best time to do it.

Because the promotion ceremony is an important ceremony of the family, it has attracted the attention of a large number of clansmen, including many high-ranking and powerful elders in the clan.

Yan Lan panted, his eyes showed perseverance, and he said solemnly: "At today's promotion ceremony, I must be promoted, and I must be promoted beautifully." I want you to know what kind of energy my Yanlan will burst out after ten years of hard work. ”

"Yan Lingkun, the most fierce guy in the children's group who bullied me, since you said that you want to pronounce the name upside down, then I, Yan Lan, will be as you wish!"

A stubborn battle spirit instantly filled the entire room.

The house is not big, and the inside of the house is also very simple, with a bed, a cabinet, two stools, and nothing else.

Since she was three years old, Yan Lan was asked by her father to live alone. Today, he has lived alone in this hut for ten years.

"I don't know what kind of way this year's promotion will take, and is it still as cruel as in previous years?"

Yan Lan muttered to herself, but there was no worry in her eyes.

In previous years, the way of testing the promotion ceremony has always changed, but one thing has never changed, that is, it is extremely cruel and difficult.

"Xiaolan, it's not early, today is a major event in your life, hurry up and go out!"

A crisp sound rushed into the house from the outside, like the March sun, through the haze, shining into the house.

The sound of this silver bell also turned into a trace of warmth, drifting into Yan Lan's ears and melting into his heart.

"It's Sister Ling Yu, today she came to a stick of incense earlier than usual, it seems that she is more nervous than me at the promotion ceremony. ”

Yan Lan whispered, hearing the sweet and crisp voice, the face that rarely smiled, like the ice soothed by the sun, bloomed with a bright smile.

Yan Lan opened the door of the house and saw a fair girl, bathed in the early morning sun, smiling at him, like a fairy descending from the sky, holy and immaculate.

The girl's hair is like clouds, her skin is like snow, her eyebrows are thin and her nose is moist, and her delicate face cannot find a single flaw. Especially the bumpy body, wrapped in tight clothes, there is a kind of charm that wants to let go.

The corners of Yan Lan's mouth raised slightly, and said, "Sister Ling Yu, you ......"

Before Yan Lan finished speaking, the girl he called Ling Yu grabbed his arm, and Ying Ying smiled: "Let's go, let's go, I have something to say while walking, today, you must be promoted, this is what you promised me, and we also pulled our fingers." Hehe, I'm in the junior group, and I've been waiting for you for two years. ”

Yan Lan was pulled by Ling Yu, and the sound like a wind chime was extremely comfortable to listen to.

Ling Yu's name is Yan Lingyu, two years older than Yan Lan, and he also joined the youth group two years earlier.

Although most of the clansmen bullied Yan Lan in every way, Ling Yu was very different from them, not only did he not speak ill of Yan Lan, but took great care of him.

Because of Ling Yu's protection, Yan Lan suffered a lot of humiliation.

Of course, it is precisely because of Ling Yu's existence that Yan Lan is jealous of many of her peers, and she has secretly suffered a lot of crimes.

Yan Lan did not tell Ling Yu about these humiliations, because Ling Yu was the brightest ray of sunshine in his heart.

Yan Lan felt the warmth coming from her arm, and the resentment and depression in her heart gradually dissipated, turning into a powerful force that ran through her body.

"Sister Ling Yu, I promised you, the promise I pulled my fingers, if I don't fulfill it, how sad you should be!"

......

The venue of the promotion ceremony is located in the central area of the Yan Nationality, a training ground with a radius of 100 zhang.

Yan Lan's residence, located in the eastern district of the Yan Clan, goes to the training ground, if you walk in the usual way, it will take two or three incense sticks.

There was actually more than half an hour before the promotion ceremony, and Ling Yu didn't need to be in such a hurry at all.

Yan Lan knew that Ling Yu was nervous about him, before, Ling Yu had never been nervous now. Even Ling Yu was not so nervous when he participated in the promotion ceremony last year.

Along the way, the clansmen saw Yan Lan being pulled affectionately by Ling Yu, and many clansmen looked at Yan Lan's gaze, full of anger and hatred.

"Phew, Ling Yu is such a beautiful girl, how can she be so close to this little worm. My son is a hundred times better than Yan Lan, and Ling Yu is my daughter-in-law sooner or later. ”

"Hmph, not to mention Yan Lan's lowly status, if this kid fails to be promoted to the youth group today, he will be a complete waste, not to mention being with Ling Yu, even any girl in the family will not be able to get together with him. ”

"Yes, let alone marrying a woman of another race, I'm afraid that the wandering woman who begs for food doesn't want to be with the waste. ”

"Heh, with his weak appearance, he still wants to enter the youth group. The family youth group will never collect waste. ”

"Sister Ling Yu is mine, poor little worm, Ling Yu is kind-hearted and sympathizes with you. If you really think that Ling Yu has affection for you, then you are really stupid. ”

“......”

The noisy sound came into Yan Lan's ears wave after wave.

Yan Lan's gaze looked straight ahead, and on his arm, he clearly felt Ling Yu's grip getting tighter and tighter.

He understood that it was Ling Yu who was giving him the strength to ignore the criticism of others.

Yan Lan smiled at Ling Yu, and did not blush as usual and shook off Ling Yu's hand, but let her pull it, and even, he deliberately leaned towards Ling Yu.

It's just that Yan Lan didn't notice that when the clansmen talked about who was with whom and who was marrying whom, a touch of crimson faintly appeared on Ling Yu's fair face.

The early morning sun just covered the blush.

The Yan clan rules stipulate that four generations of close relatives in the clan are prohibited from intermarrying. Outside the four generations, they can marry freely. Ling Yu and Yan Lan don't know how many generations apart, and their kinship is extremely far apart.

When there were still four incense sticks before the promotion ceremony, Yan Lan and Ling Yu came to the training ground.

Yan Lan looked around, and hundreds of clansmen surrounded the huge training ground.

Many of these clansmen are the elders of the disciples who participated in the promotion ceremony today. Of course, there are also many people who watch the excitement.

Yan Lan swept through the crowd and did not find her father, and her mood was slightly lonely.

At this time, Ling Yu smiled at Yan Lan, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Xiao Lan, don't be too nervous. I'm going to assemble, and if you're nervous or scared, look at me. ”

Ling Yuwan smiled, patted Yan Lan, and ran to the youth group like a cheerful sparrow in the eyes of some clansmen.

At the same time, Yan Lan ushered in the eyes of some clansmen who were even more jealous and hateful.

Fortunately, not all the clansmen have that arrogant demeanor.

There were also some clansmen who looked at Yan Lan solemnly, and they had heard a little about Yan Lan's diligent cultivation in private.

Yan Lan was expressionless, stepped into the training ground with a smooth step, and stood in the team of the promotion ceremony.
