Sitting under the platform, Xiao Yan watched the young man on the platform who was being led like a puppet. He could not help but rub his forehead as he said to Xun Er beside him
“This Age Ceremony. That must be torture. ”
Seeing Xiao Yan's sad face, Xun Er smiled as she said
“ini is a rule passed down since ancient times and even Xiao shu-shu would not dare to change it.”
Xiao Yan sighed as he weakly nodded. Just as he was about to fall asleep, his eyebrows shot up as he sensed someone was staring at him. Narrowing his eyes, he looked to the left of the platform.
There stood Xiao Ning, full of envy while watching Xun Er and Xiao Yan. When he saw the look above, he quickly raised his fist, aggressively.
“Idiot.”
Lightly saying this word, Xiao Yan's gaze moved slightly to the left, to Xiao Yu who was standing beside Xiao Ning. His eyes swept boldly over his long legs until his face turned green, before finally turning his face away with a cold smile.
From the side, Xun Er smiled to herself while watching Xiao Yan's antics, feeling a little helpless. When it came to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan seemed to lose his usual calmness and always provoked him until he became completely enraged.
Lying on the cool wooden chair, Xiao Yan enjoyed the sweet fragrance of the girl beside him, while waiting with his eyes closed.
When the Coming Age Wage had grown to about half, it was finally Xiao Yan's turn.
After hearing the shouts from the stage, everyone on the guest platform looked at Xiao Yan with curious or suspicious eyes. For most of them, though, most of the reason why they were here at the Xiao Clan's arrival ceremony was to see the young man who had caused an uproar in Wu Tan City and to see if he was as described in the rumors.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and the gazes from around made him feel like a monkey in the zoo, causing him to shake his head in resignation.
With a light sigh and passive face, Xiao Yan stepped slowly onto the platform under everyone's gaze.
The arrival of the age ceremony was held by second elder Xiao Ying. Although the second elder never gave Xiao Yan his sympathy, he rarely went out of his way to disturb Xiao Yan. Moreover, from the day of the initial exam, he had softened a little. At the very least, the scorn that was previously clearly presented on his face was no longer visible on the old wrinkled face.
With a complicated expression in his eyes, Xiao Ying sighed in his heart as he looked at the young man who had turned the table in his life. His face trembled slightly as he picked up the materials needed for the ceremony before walking towards Xiao Yan.
Seeing the second elder walking towards him, Xiao Yan remembered the fussy and boring ceremony earlier and had a migraine. With a bitter smile, he closed his eyes and waited for his destiny.
Under everyone's eyes, Xiao Yan stood up like a fool for half an hour before the complex bureaucratic scene finally ended.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Xiao Yan opened his eyes. Looking at the various spices surrounding his body, he rolled his eyes gloomily.
“Tes Ceremonial!”
The Ceremonial Test is the same as the previous month's test which is only the initial exam. The motive of the previous test was to let the elites of the clan be chosen, so that they could take out the actual celebration ceremony on the main stage, he said, while the rest of the 7 Duan and the clan members below would only have a simple ceremony that was rather seedy
The Ceremonial Test was much more accurate compared to the initial test since this time, the test was personally examined by a two star Dou Grandmaster, the second elder of the Xiao Clan. This showed how serious the Age Rapture Ceremony was.
With the cry of the second Elder, those who had been bored out of their minds suddenly focused as they watched the platform.
On the Guest Platform, almost everyone sitting there was also staring at the black-clothed youth. The purpose of their visit today was to confirm whether the young man who had driven the entire Wu Tan City four years ago stirred Wu Tan City again.
Ignoring the burning gazes around him, Xiao Yan calmed down as he walked to the black monument.
While watching the calm Xiao Yan, the dry hands of the two Elders touched the Black Monument as a strand of his Dou Qi was pushed into it to test it. After which, he stepped aside and joined the others in staring at Xiao Yan. Even though he was present at the testing earlier, he couldn't help but wonder: Is this kid really up to 7 Duan Qi?
The shock of Xiao Yan's performance greatly impacted this second elder and he was specifically asked to take charge of the Age Departure Ceremony so that he could confirm that he personally tested Xiao Yan!
Ignoring the gaze of the second elder's question, Xiao Yan's hand slowly touched the black monument
Seeing Xiao Yan touch the monument, Xiao Yu could not help but furrow his brows while turning his head to whisper to Xiao Ning
“Did he really get to 7 Duan Qi?”
Since Xiao Yu had just returned home two days ago after asking for a break from the academy, he was not there to witness Xiao Yan's initial testing and thus was still suspicious about his achievements.
Asked by his sister, Xiao Ning bitterly nodded while saying: “Yes. That person must have eaten something that helped him jump 4 Duan Qi in just one year. ”
After his question was confirmed once again, Xiao Yu pushed his lips together while stomping his feet in annoyance. While angrily staring at the young man on the platform, her beautiful face showed her stubbornness as she thought: Without me actually seeing it, I would not believe that/it was flawed it had changed the situation.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu grinned as he said: “That boy must have done something last time but with the second elder checking him this time, I will ..”
Before he could finish his thoughts, Xiao Yu's face stiffened as the rest of the words stuck in his throat.
On the high wooden platform, a large black monument shone brightly as golden words appeared on the monument: “Dou Zi Qi: 8 Duan!”
