Chapter 69 Coming of Age Ceremony
"Nalan Yanran..."
Xiao Yan recalled the morning and evening a year ago, and then couldn't help but smile and shook his head, neither admitting it. But there was no denial either.
“Forget it, it’s better not to look too far ahead.”
After putting away the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan exhaled a breath of turbidity, as if he was recalling the ups and downs in the past two years.
Two years ago, I was still stuck in the trough of my life, unable to extricate myself, and my fighting spirit was still at the pitiful third level of fighting spirit.
It was at that time that Miss Wan and the teacher appeared in my life one after another, and brought new light and heat to me.
A year ago, he became a blockbuster. He once again emerged in the family test and became the well-deserved number one among the younger generation of the Xiao family.
Then, his fiancée came to break off the engagement, but he and Miss Wan also blocked her and made a three-year agreement.
He went to the Izumo Empire and the heart-gnawing pain of refining the poisonous fire made him stronger.
Harvesting the strange fire has benefited him endlessly.
Now, the goal that I once looked up to is no longer so far away. It is not so much a goal, but a new starting point.
With expectations for tomorrow, Xiao Yan lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
The next morning, Xiao Yan got up very early. He had just changed his clothes when there was a gentle knock on the door.
“Brother Xiao Yan, are you there?”
After hearing whose voice it was, Xiao Yan stepped forward and opened the door.
The door was opened, and warm sunlight suddenly poured in, shining on the young man in black, who looked particularly energetic.
Outside the door, the girl stood tall and graceful. Her refreshing light green clothes perfectly set off her delicate figure, which was beginning to take shape. Her small breasts covered by the clothes, although a little green, still proudly released her youthful spirit. Temptation, a small waist that could not bear to be grasped, was casually tied with a purple belt. The breeze blew and the purple belt fluttered.
Looking at the pretty girl outside the door, Xiao Yan's eyes inevitably flashed with surprise. Then he slowly came back to his senses, looked Xun'er up and down, and exclaimed: "It's so early in the morning, I I thought a goddess from somewhere had arrived, but when I took a closer look, it turned out to be my Xun'er."
Although it was a joke, the surprise in Xiao Yan's mouth was not false. He has been there for the past two years. Now that I am obsessed with cultivation, I have spent less time with Xun'er, a girl like this. Now, when I catch a glimpse of her by chance, I suddenly feel like a woman has changed.
Listening to Xiao Yan's somewhat joking praise and laughter, Xun'er's big, watery eyes blinked, and she just pursed her small mouth and smiled slightly. However, those willow eyebrows that quietly curved into beautiful crescents said something. The joy in the girl's heart.
Qiu Shui's eyes were filled with joy, and Xun'er also raised her delicate chin lightly, looking at the young man who came out of the door.
Experience and hard training have allowed Xiao Yan to lose some of his childishness, and his delicate little face has become more mature.
Going out of the room, closing the door with his backhand, looking at Xun'er who was staring at him without blinking, Xiao Yan looked at himself in astonishment, and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything wrong?"
Xun'er's pretty little face blushed slightly, Xun'er quickly looked away, pursed her lips and smiled: "Let's go, brother Xiao Yan, today is the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, are you ready?"
"Well, that's natural."
Xiao Yan no longer cares about the coming-of-age ceremony. This is just the starting point for his new goal, to wash away the shame of his wasteful days for his father and those who still care about him. That’s all.
…………
More than a hundred boys and girls were standing in the huge bluestone training ground, and bursts of noise rose into the sky. In the training ground, there is a huge test black stone tablet. Only some powerful families are qualified to equip this kind of test tablet. It is worth a lot of money. Next to the black stone tablet, there is still the indifferent test player from a year ago. member.
On the high platform on the left side of the training ground, some insiders of the family were sitting. In the center, there were the patriarch Xiao Zhan and three elders.
In the venue, the boys and girls who were about to be judged were standing nervously. Some of those who usually performed well did not show much nervousness on their faces, while some of those with average or low talents had expressions on their faces. His face was full of hesitation and anxiety.
This coming-of-age ceremony was not only attended by the Xiao family, but also representatives and guests from other forces closely related to the Xiao family.
As Xiao Yan glanced around, he was suddenly stunned. A charming woman in a red dress happened to be talking to someone with a smile. The plump and exquisite body wrapped in the red dress was looming and extremely alluring. , at this time, there were already many people surrounding her.
This woman in a red dress, whose smile is full of mature charm, is Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of Temir Auction House, whom Xiao Yan has met before.
"...Why is she here too?"
Xiao Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Miter Auction House would also send people to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.
And this is not a little minion, but the chief auctioneer who is crucial to the Mitel Auction House in Wutan City. It can be seen that the Mitel Auction House seems to favor the Xiao family.
"Brother Xiao Yan...?"
Xun'er's resentful voice beside him immediately made Xiao Yan react. The result was as expected, Xun'er's eyes had already written Full of everything she wanted to express.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised by her attendance."
Xiao Yan shook his head, his tone indifferent.
It seems that he realized that brother Xiao Yan really didn't seem to be interested in that woman. Instead, he seemed to be a little embarrassed. Xun'er was a little embarrassed.
Not long after walking, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er saw a familiar figure.
One of the descendants of the Great Elder and the best in their lineage, Xiao Yu.
"It's her."
Xiao Yan muttered subconsciously.
As for the bad relationship between him and her, Xiao Yan himself no longer wants to mention the past. He can only say that these are all mistakes he made when he was young.
At the same time that Xiao Yan noticed Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu also saw the figures of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er.
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with hostility.
There was no way, the reckless thing Xiao Yan did back then was really harmful to a girl like her.
It’s just that every time Xiao Yan felt he was wrong and wanted to keep a distance from her, Xiao Yu would come closer to her again, which was really annoying.
“Hey, isn’t this Xiao Yan?”
Seeing that he was about to quarrel with her again, Xiao Yan simply chose to be a good man and not fight with women, ignored her, and rubbed shoulders with her And passed.
“Hey, Xiao Yan, hello!”
