"Yan 'er, are you alright? That girl Xiao Yu just now?" Xiao Zhan quickly walked over. Seeing that Xiao Yan was safe and sound, he let out a sigh of relief and asked with a frown.
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and smiled,"It's fine. That woman suddenly went crazy.”
"Try to avoid her. This girl has a bad temper.”Xiao Zhan said helplessly.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and smiled in a noncommittal manner.
"Come, Yan Er, let me introduce you. This is the chief auctioneer of the Temir Auction House, Miss Ya Fei.”Xiao Zhan flashed to the side and gave way to the enchanting woman in the red dress standing behind him. He smiled and introduced her.
Xiao Yan threw his gaze toward the beautiful woman who was releasing a mature temptation with every movement. He lowered his head and no one saw her expression. He only cursed in his heart, Do you think I don't know her? Although he was complaining in his heart, he could still say in a seemingly admiring voice,"Hello, Sister Ya Fei."
Ya Fei's alluring eyes rolled over Xiao Yan's body. A smile appeared on Ya Fei's beautiful face because of the way she addressed him. Her red lips parted slightly as she said with a smile,"I heard that Little Young Master Xiao Yan has broken through to a three star Dou Zhe within a year? Hehe, this matter is now spreading like wildfire in Wu Tan City. I just don't know if it's true or not.”
Xiao Yan continued to display his Oscar-winning acting skills and said,"Yes, yes."
Even with Ya Fei's calmness, she involuntarily inhaled a breath of cool air in her heart when she heard Xiao Yan admit it. Surprise and solemness flashed across her pretty eyes. To advance to a three star Dou Zhe in a year, this training speed was really a little frightening.
Seeing that the two of them had already gotten to know each other, Xiao Zhan raised his head and looked at the sky. He then patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and warmly smiled,"Alright, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin. I have to prepare some things first. Don't embarrass your father later.”
Xiao Yan faintly nodded.
Following Xiao Zhan, Ya Fei turned around and stared deeply at the 'young man' in front of her. After a few years of experience in the auction, her eyes had become extremely sharp. Under Ya Fei's careful observation, she suddenly realized that although the person in front of her seemed to be no different from his peers, there was always indifference in the depths of his dark eyes, like a hard ice that could not be melted.
"He is able to easily control his emotions at such a young age. This little fellow is not simple…" Turning around, Ya Fei's heart was solemn as she thought to herself.
Sweeping her gaze once again, she discovered that Xiao Yan, who had turned around to say something to Xun Er, did not have the Adam's apple that a man should have on his neck. It was as if he had said something that made one feel embarrassed. Xiao Yan extended his right hand and scratched his head. The black ring on his finger made Ya Fei feel extremely familiar.
Hanging a charming smile, Ya Fei nodded her lips and thought, It turned out that Xiao Yan's little brother, no, little sister, was the alchemist back then!
When the Coming of Age Ceremony on the stage was halfway through, it was finally Xiao Yan's turn. Upon hearing the shouts on the stage, pairs of curious and doubtful gazes immediately shifted from the VIP seats on the high platform. The main reason why they were participating in the Xiao clan's coming of age ceremony today was to confirm whether this youth, who had recently caused a stir in Wu Tan City, was as the rumors said. Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes when he heard the cry. The numerous gazes around him that were mixed with various expressions, as though they were looking at monkeys, caused her heart to feel extremely irritated. Letting out a soft breath, Xiao Yan's small face remained expressionless. After which, he stepped onto the high platform under the gazes of everyone present.
The host of the Coming of Age Ceremony was the second Elder, Xiao Ying. Although this second Elder had never given Xiao Yan a good look in the past, he had clearly restrained himself a lot after the test that day. At the very least, the unconcealed disdain from before no longer appeared on that old face. Xiao Ying's gaze was a little complicated as he looked at the 'young man' in front of him who seemed to have turned over a new leaf. He sighed in his heart and his face trembled slightly. He took a few ingredients needed for the ceremony from the stage behind him and walked toward Xiao Yan.
Seeing the Second Elder walking over, Xiao Yan involuntarily felt a headache when he recalled the complicated ceremony earlier. He laughed bitterly and closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate.
Under the gazes of everyone present, Xiao Yan stood on the spot like an idiot for a full half an hour. Only then did those complicated ceremonies slowly come to an end. Xiao Yan sighed in relief and opened his eyes. He frowned as he looked at the various spices scattered all over his body.
After settling all these complicated matters, the Second Elder wiped his sweat. He turned around and walked to the front of the black stone test stele, saying loudly,"Ritual Retest!"
The ritual test was another test of Dou Qi. The test a month ago was just a prediction. The purpose was to select the best seeds in the clan. Only these excellent seeds would be qualified to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony on this platform. Those below Stage 0 - 7 could only hold some simple ceremonies, which was quite shabby.
The second test of the ceremony was also much stricter and more detailed than the prediction. The second test this time around was personally monitored by the two star Da Dou Shi Second Elder. From this, it could be seen how much importance they placed on the coming of age ceremony.
Hearing the Second Elder's loud shout, the originally somewhat bored people below the stage immediately became spirited. Pairs of gazes were directly cast towards the high platform. In the VIP seats, the gazes from the various factions were also staring intently at the black clothed 'young man' on the stage. The purpose of their arrival this time around was to confirm if this genius, who had once stunned Wu Tan City, had once again recovered his former talent.
Xiao Yan ignored the heated gazes around him. His small face was calm as he walked forward and stopped in front of the black stone tablet.
Squinting his old eyes as he looked at the young man in front of him, the Second Elder's shriveled hand touched the black stone tablet. A thread of Dou Qi was poured into it. After which, he stood to the side with an expressionless face. However, when his gaze flashed over Xiao Yan's body, a doubt involuntarily flashed across his face,"This little fellow has really reached the three star Dou Zhe level?”
It seemed that the shock that Xiao Yan had caused this time around had given this second Elder quite a huge blow. Even though he clearly knew in his heart that it was extremely difficult for the test tablet to make a mistake? He had been making mistakes, but he was still somewhat stubborn and unwilling to believe it. Therefore, he volunteered to personally monitor Xiao Yan's test!
Ignoring the doubt in his eyes, Xiao Yan's hand slowly touched the stone tablet…
Looking at Xiao Yan who was touching the stone tablet on the high platform, Xiao Yu couldn't help but frown. She tilted her head and asked Xiao Ning in a low voice,"Has that fellow really reached Dou Zhe?"
As Xiao Yu had only taken leave from the academy and returned to the clan in the past two days, she did not personally witness the prediction of that day.
After being questioned by his sister, Xiao Ning nodded bitterly,"Yes."
Having once again confirmed the authenticity of this rumor, Xiao Yu's red lips tightly pursed together. She angrily stomped her sexy long legs as she angrily glared at the black clothed young man in the arena. Her pretty face raised with a stubborn look,"Without seeing it with my own eyes, it's hard for me to believe that trash can make a comeback!”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu stared at the arena with a cold smile,"This guy must have done something last time. This time, the second elder is personally monitoring it. I think you…"
On the tall wooden platform, a huge black stone tablet shone brightly. Golden words appeared on the surface of the stone tablet in a flamboyant manner.
" Fighter: Six-star!"
