Shen Yanxing voluntarily volunteered to undertake most of the affairs of the coming-of-age ceremony.Chen Xiao really didn't understand, so he didn't try to be brave, and left everything to his disciples.

Get up early in the morning, eat the first cold food on an empty stomach until nine o'clock.Although it was cold, Shen Yanxing carefully prepared meals that were easy to digest and would not hurt the stomach.

At 09:30, Chen Xiao went to the soup bath in the garden to take a bath.Because there are people waiting for her on weekdays, Chen Xiao always takes a bath in the tub.This is the first time to visit the hot tub here.

Standing in the half-person-high pool water, Chen Xiao carefully cleaned her body.Compared with when he first possessed this body, he became taller, his legs became longer, his shoulders were rounder, and his chest was thicker.

While gaining a clearer understanding of her current body, Chen Xiao couldn't help thinking of Xi Yunting's body in the dream.Xi Yunting's skin is very fair because he doesn't see the sun all year round.Usually he can't see it hidden in his clothes, but in fact, his shoulders are broad and thick, there are distinct mermaid lines on his waist and abdomen, and the capital of a man is quite... proud.Thinking about it, the body that was originally hot from taking a bath couldn't help but get hotter.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Chen Ling hurried out of the bath, scooped up the cold water next to her and poured it on her body to cool down.Terrible!He is already in his twenties, why is he still so impulsive?

Dry off your body and put on a high-necked slim-fit robe, which is said to be the most ceremonial Taoist robe in the world of cultivating immortals.Chen Ling left the bathroom and sat on a round stool in the outer hall. Behind him were two maids who were in the training period drying his hair.Each of the two female waitresses held half of Chen Xiao's hair, and the inner breath gathered on their fingers, and the heat shuttled through the hair to take away the moisture.If it wasn't for the rush that day, Chen Ling wouldn't have let the two waitresses do this.He felt that such a service was too extravagant and would corrode people's will.

After the hair is dry, the top and sides are simply combed into a bundle behind the head, and the bottom and back are simply draped.Chen Ling had never tried such a hairstyle since he came here, and he always felt itchy when his hair fell on his neck.It's a pity that today he has to comb like this first, and he can't do it if he's not used to it.

At a few minutes to ten, Chen Xiao followed the guides to an open space in the garden.Now it has been arranged as a simple meeting place, and there are still many people standing.

Although there was no publicity, Shen Yonghe, the old city lord of Jincheng, Hu Qingyun, and several officials from the Capital City Mansion, the Chief Long of the City Guard, etc. came here to attend Chen Xiao's 20th birthday. present.

It's not just for Chen Xiao's face, generally promising practitioners are either in their aristocratic families or by their master's side when they reach adulthood. Few of them spend their coming-of-age ceremony far away like Chen Xiao.It was only after they got the news that they realized that Chen Xiao had just grown up, and they couldn't help but marvel that he was young and promising, with a bright future ahead.

After nodding to the surroundings, Chen Xiao took a step forward and stood in the center of the field.As soon as ten o'clock arrived, the cage of snow geese not far away was opened, and a flock flew out.

Originally, Chen Ling thought it would be enough for them to catch five or six at most, but it was Tong Nuonuo who hit him with a word.He said that he was worried that if there were too few catches, Chen Xiao would not be able to shoot enough three shots.Chen Xiao's archery was learned by surprise after he knew that he was going to shoot geese at the coming-of-age ceremony, even he himself was not sure.In the end, he obediently obeyed Tong Nuonuo's suggestion and caught more than 20 of them.

When ordinary people shoot geese at the coming-of-age ceremony, those with poor skills will starve the geese for a while in advance, so that those who fly in the sky will not be so sensitive and fast.But Chen Xiao is now known as a practitioner in the body training period, not only can't do such a shameful act, but also feed the snow geese to their full in advance to ensure that they are all alive and kicking.

More than 20 snow geese fluttered in the sky in a panic, and practitioners chased them away, but they couldn't fly here at all.Chen Xiao stood in the center of the field and shot seven or eight arrows before finally completing the ceremony of shooting geese.

After shooting the geese, it was still some time before twelve noon, and Chen Xiao was busy dealing with the guests who came to congratulate her.These people did not come empty-handed, everyone brought some small gifts.Compared with their wealth, it is really a "small" gift.Some are a pair of wrist guards, some are a close-fitting inner armor, and some are a waist guard... These people probably discussed it in advance, and they just fit together.

After Chen Xiao thanked her, she asked Shen Yanxing to accept them one by one.If it hadn't been agreed that the presents given at the coming-of-age ceremony were all gadgets that the presenter would use in their daily lives, these dignitaries might not know what grand gifts they would give.

Before noon, the guests were arranged to sit in their seats.Because the officiant will be on stage on the hour, Chen Xiao hasn't seen Xi Yunting until now.He didn't quite understand why there was such a rule, probably to avoid wasting the time of the big shots?After all, if you step on the spot, the other guests will not have the opportunity to come forward and chat.

Just as he was a little absent-minded, Xi Yunting appeared.On this day, he wore a ceremonial Taoist robe that was very similar to Chen Xiao's. This style particularly highlighted the curve from the neck to the shoulders. Because of the slim design, the waist and legs were particularly straight and conspicuous.The crisp collar made Xi Yunting's square chin extraordinarily heroic.The hem with a full sense of drape, even when striding forward, looks as elegant as clouds and water.

Xi Yunting's indifferent eyes warmed up the moment he saw Chen Xiao, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.He took the stage and stood in front of Chen Xiao.According to the instruction in advance, Chen Xiao bent down to salute.After Xi Yunting dismissed his etiquette, he read a series of ancient Chinese prose awkwardly.Even if Chen Xiao had the foundation of studying Chinese culture in his previous life, he still didn't understand it.Only knowing in advance that the main idea is to bless, advise, and guide those who hold the ceremony.

After this step was completed, Chen Xiao saluted again to thank him.After Xi Yunting excused himself, Shen Yanxing brought up a cushion by himself.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, and knelt on the mat facing the guests with a solemn expression, while Xi Yunting walked behind him and stood still.Next to him, Shen Yanxing loudly introduced the identities of the two parties to the guests.

This introduction is very detailed, not only covering background, cultivation level, but also teachers.The point of this step is not to introduce the host, but the background of the officiant.Xi Yunting hadn't revealed his sect background to anyone before, and when the people present heard that he was actually a second-generation disciple of the Chongxuan Sect, and he was also a director of the School of Management, it immediately caused a little commotion.The Chongxuan Sect is the largest immortal sect directly under the Great Heaven Realm, and for countries in the Small Heaven Realm, it is the real top sect.As for the second-generation disciples, being in charge of the affairs of the academy is a more important status than the other!

Of course, Shen Yanxing knew about it earlier, and at this moment, he proudly puffed out his chest.After today, Xi Yunting and the Chongxuan Sect behind him are not only Chen Xiao's backers, but as his disciple, Shen Yanxing also indirectly benefits a lot.

Shen Yanxing took a step forward and gently untied Chen Xiao's hair. The hair that had grown to the middle of the back was thick and black, and spread out smoothly.Xi Yunting bent down slightly, raised his hand to pick up the comb from the tray held by the waiter next to him, and combed Chen Xiao's hair one by one.There is a specific number of times for combing hair, which is generally a multiple of nine.Nine strokes are enough for a normal relationship, but Xi Yunting patiently combed 99 strokes.

The guests below were not impatient, but as time passed, the atmosphere on the field became more solemn.The more times you comb, the closer the relationship is.

After combing 99 strokes, Xi Yunting tied Chen Xiao's hair into a bun, put a jade crown on it, and then used the cyan jade hairpin he prepared earlier.

Chen Ling resisted the urge to touch it. The jade crown was very heavy, and her hair was bound tightly, so her scalp felt a stretch.Although Xi Yunting's hand was very light and didn't hurt him, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.

Probably seeing that he felt unwell, Xi Yunting whispered in his ear, "If you are not used to wearing it, you can remove the jade crown after the coming-of-age ceremony and only wear the jade hairpin."

Chen Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and smiled at Xi Yunting.Shen Yanxing gently reminded him from the side, and Chen Xiao hurriedly got up, and saluted Xi Yunting for the third time.After the third ceremony is over, the coming-of-age ceremony is considered to be over.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, there was originally a banquet for entertaining guests, but it was a pity that half a day was already the limit due to their busy schedules, so they all declined the invitation to stay for dinner.Now he wants to change his mind, and wants to take the opportunity to start a relationship with Xi Yunting, but that's not that thick-skinned.

After seeing off the guests, only a few people sat down at a round table.Because Chen Xiao is delicious, the lunch meal is extraordinarily rich.Not only the ones he had praised after tasting them before, but even the three snow geese that shot the geese just now were served on the table.

After the birthday toast, Tong Nuonuo sighed and said: "Xiaoxiao's coming-of-age ceremony is the most solemn I have ever seen. When I was an adult, I was only familiar with my master and the casual cultivators near the master's gate. The officiant was still the master An old friend specially invited from another heaven." Then he remembered something and asked Tang Ru, "A meat, is there a coming-of-age ceremony in your village?"

Tang Ru rolled his eyes at him, took a sip of the fragrant snow geese soup, and said, "Of course. You think us foreigners are too ignorant of etiquette. Not only did we hold it, but my coming-of-age ceremony was also very grand! Not to mention that everyone from the village has come, it was the old village master who officiated for me."

Tong Nuonuo was a little frustrated.Not to mention Xi Yunting and Shen Yanxing, it is estimated that the coming-of-age ceremony among the friends is the most simple.

Chen Xiao comforted him and said: "When you spend your whole life in the future, I will help you to be lively and lively, which can be regarded as making up for the regret that we didn't know each other at that time." After the coming-of-age ceremony, Chen Xiao knew that practitioners are not The birthday is a small one at the tenth, and a big one at the hundredth.

Tong Nuonuo calculated in her mind, and immediately became happy: "It's not been a few years since my [-]th birthday. It's agreed that we must have a good celebration when the time comes, and you all have to attend!"

Chen Xiao immediately withdrew the comforting hand on his shoulder.This guy looks like he's still a teenager, but he's about to live his whole life!In this way, Tang Ru said just now that she held a coming-of-age ceremony, and he was the youngest of all of them—even his disciples!
