Chapter 90 The Xiao Family's Coming-of-Age Ceremony
As time slowly passed, the Xiao family in Utan City gradually ushered in the annual coming-of-age ceremony.
In the imperial capital, the coming-of-age ceremony has always been a day that cannot be ignored by a family.
If a family wants to survive for a long time, it must draw fresh blood from the young children of the family to replenish it.
Outstanding family members are the key to the vitality of a family.
The Xiao family is naturally no exception.
This coming-of-age ceremony has also received widespread attention from all forces in the outside world, and several invitations have been scattered from the Xiao family and handed over to some forces with equal friendship and strength.
This is not only a grand event to test the strength of the children of the family, but also a good opportunity to show the strength and heritage of the family to the outside world.
Having the children of a gifted family has a far greater deterrent effect than the others, and the big families will take this opportunity to consolidate their majesty and rule, so that the small families will not be able to rise to the heart to fight against them.
……
Xiaojia Square, with a round platform made entirely of giant wood, was built for this coming-of-age ceremony.
In a secluded courtyard.
On the bed, a figure sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, holding a seal in his hand, as if he was cultivating.
The faint white air flow continued to float on the surface of his body, and between one exhale and one inhalation, the chest cavity rose and fell slightly, and wisps of white air continued to connect along the body, pouring into the mouth and nose, burrowing into the body, and constantly moisturizing the muscles and bones.
As time passed, the boy's little face became a little red due to the continuous absorption of the surrounding energy.
It's just that in the next moment, a slightly quaint black ring in the young man's hand flashed away, and the fighting spirit that the young man was constantly absorbing seemed to collapse suddenly.
The closed eyes opened suddenly, and the young man gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and his slightly delicate little face became extremely ugly.
Because just now, the fighting spirit that he had worked so hard to absorb seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Not only that, but he found that the Dou Qi in his body had also suddenly decreased, and he had faintly fallen to the fifth stage of the Dou Qi.
"Grass, the fighting spirit in the body is disappearing again!" The young man's delicate and immature little face also showed a hideous appearance at this moment.
He is the rumored former genius of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan.
At this moment, he was extremely angry, he had originally traveled to another world, and his soul power was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and this discovery made him overjoyed.
After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, the power of the soul would hardly change much, and it might become stronger with age, but it was not possible to cultivate through other means.
And with his strong soul power, his cultivation speed soared, and he condensed the Douzhi Cyclone in one leap, stepped into the realm of the Dou Warrior, and became a genius in the eyes of people.
But for some unknown reason, a few months ago, he fell from the altar overnight.
The Dou Qi suddenly dissipated, not only did he retreat to the strength of the Dou Qi Ninth Rank, but the Dou Qi in his body was also constantly decreasing, no matter how he cultivated, he was a little unable to make ends meet.
As a result, it is conceivable that after a few months, his strength has regressed again, and he is about to fall to the realm of the fifth stage of Dou Qi.
At this moment, there was a lot of discussion from the outside world, and many remarks came into Xiao Yan's ears, which made him upset for a while.
"Grass, do you want to play me like a monkey?" Xiao Yan roared unwillingly, his hand was clenched into a fist, and he smashed it towards the wall on one side.
After venting, a voice came from outside the house.
"Third Young Master, are you there?"
Xiao Yan got up and got out of bed, stretched his body, which had become stiff from sitting for a long time, before walking towards the door.
It was an old man in a long robe, who looked quite kind, and at this moment, his old eyes with a little muddy looked at Xiao Yan's delicate face who pushed the door, and a touch of distress appeared on his old face.
He is the ink housekeeper of the Xiao family, and he has been in the Xiao family for decades, and Xiao Yan has also grown up under his watch.
"Third Young Master, the patriarch is busy organizing the coming-of-age ceremony, he asked me to tell you, if you don't want to participate in the test of this year's coming-of-age ceremony, you can completely shirk it, no one can force the third young master." Steward Mo whispered to Xiao Yan.
After all, the coming-of-age ceremony was originally intended to test the strength of the soon-to-be-adult clansmen, but I don't know when a group of juniors could also take this opportunity to test, and this custom was passed down unconsciously.
It's just that if Xiao Yan is unwilling to participate, others will not force him.
A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face, then he shook his head, and said to Steward Mo: "No need, the truth can't be hidden, even if you don't participate this time, when you wait for the clan test, you still can't dodge, it's better to accept it generously, I'm afraid there are many people who want to see my jokes this time." ”
After that, the slightly thin white palm was clenched violently, and the nails did not feel pain when they dug deep into the flesh.
Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Steward Mo also sighed in his heart, and an imperceptible regret flashed in his eyes.
Steward Mo asked tentatively, "In that case, why don't you go with the old man?" ”
Xiao Yan bowed slightly, his eyes gradually lowered, after today, some guys in the clan are afraid that they will mock him again.
……
With the passage of time, more and more figures came to Xiaojia Square, and the VIP seats were gradually filled with the continuous arrival of various forces.
Representatives of the three major families, the Galie family and the Oba family, were already present.
The small families in Utan City and the surrounding towns, such as the Luo family, the Ye family, and the Tang family......
One by one, they all came.
"Someone from the Mitre auction house has arrived." With a shout, the eyes of the entire square were fixed on the entrance.
The Mitre Auction House has a lot of business with the families of Utan City.
The Mitre Auction House is not only the largest auction venue in Utan City, but also belongs to the richest family in the Gama Empire, the Mitre family.
This is also the reason why many forces in Utan City attach great importance to the Mitre Auction House.
No one wants to offend the Mitre Auction House easily, otherwise once they are offended, I am afraid that even the three major families of Utan City will not be able to bear the consequences.
Everyone was looking eagerly at the entrance, wondering who the Mitre Auction House would be.
A moment later, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
The representatives of many forces frowned slightly, because it was a teenager who walked in.
The young man was wearing a moon-white robe, and his face was extremely handsome, which made all the girls of the Xiao family look at him with burning eyes, and his little face was suddenly dyed with a layer of crimson.
However, the representatives of many forces had never seen this person in the Mitre auction house, and they were all a little puzzled.
It's just that the next moment, Director Ula, who is extremely difficult to see on weekdays, also walked in at this moment.
Ulla followed the young man unhurriedly, and this move made everyone present explode.
