At a quarter of an hour the next day, the crowning ceremony was held in the Zhengqing Hall.

The decoration in the hall has been changed. A temporary platform was built under the leader's throne, and the beams and columns were hung with festive red silk.There was three drums beating outside the hall, Elder Wan stood on the platform and sang a prayer loudly.

The leader was sitting upright, Feng Gui was standing on the side of the leader's throne, facing Feng Yan from behind.Standing on both sides of the stage are the leaders of the sect, the left side is headed by the left protector, and the right side should be the right protector, but because Elder Yi is here this time, and he is Yi Zeming's uncle, the right protector stands It is placed on the lower head of the great elder to show respect for the elder.

More than a hundred people looked solemn, listening to the tedious prayers.As the protagonist, Xun Huan knelt in the middle, raised his hands above his head, and listened quietly.The table is covered with bright red silk, on which there are a mahogany comb and a jade crown.

The maid Xiaoyuan stood at the end on the right, not daring to turn her head to look sideways, and glanced at her son from the corner of her eyes, with a hint of worry in her eyes.It takes half an hour to read the prayer to the heaven and the earth. Her young master is already weak, and he has to kneel like this, so why not make people worry?

This prayer is very tedious and boring, Feng Yan is absent-minded, but still maintains a solemn appearance, although Xun Huan's entanglement at the beginning made him disliked, but he is still willing to give this respect.

Feng Gui stood by the side of the leader, and had a clear view of the scene below.With excellent eyesight, he naturally saw Xun Huan's pale and bloodless face, and his forehead and temples were soaked with sweat.His body was thin, his knees trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to maintain the posture of lifting the case.

Chatting in the air under the light blue robe, although he is a few months older than him, he looks like a boy of fourteen or fifteen.He is plagued by illness, without any martial arts, and seems to be a person who will collapse when the wind blows, but he is very stubborn.This temper reminded Feng Gui of his little ancestor.

Thinking of this, Feng Gui's gaze at Xun Huan softened a little.

The drumming sounded again, and half an hour finally passed. Elder Wan stroked his goatee, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Where is the boy Xun Huan! Step forward and take the crown!"

"Here Xun Huan, I invite Elder Wan to confer the crown."

Xun Huan responded loudly. When he stood up holding the case, his legs were already numb. He staggered for a while, then managed to stabilize his body, bowed slightly, bowed his head, and walked towards the stage step by step.

Xiaoyuan saw the sway just now, and immediately felt a twitch in her heart, and she quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she would yell out too excitedly.

At the beginning, the feet were numb and felt nothing. After taking a step or two, the sensation in the legs recovered, and each step felt like stepping on the tip of a needle.Gritting his teeth, Xun Huan walked up to the high platform expressionlessly, and knelt down again in front of Elder Wan.

Elder Wan looked at Xun Huan with admiration and a little distress.

"The old is gone, the new is here—" Elder Wan muttered, reaching out his hand to untie the hair rope on Xun Huan's head, and the black hair slipped off instantly.

At that moment, from the back, with thin waist and shoulders, she really looked like a little girl.

Picking up the mahogany comb, Elder Wan combed it three times symbolically, saying plausibly, "One comb is wise, and the ignorant young son will go to the past; the second comb will pay homage to the new year, and the longevity will prolong the fortune; the third comb and the crown will stand up to the ancestors!"

Every time he said a sentence, Xun Huan had to answer "yes". After answering the last sentence, Elder Wan picked up the jade crown and pulled out the jade hairpin inserted in the middle.

Pull up Xun Huan's hair, tie it up briefly, and put on the jade crown.

The jade hairpin passed through the jade crown hole, pierced the black hair, and then came out from the other side of the jade crown hole. With the sentence "Ceremony!" The music rang out in unison.

"Boy Xun, congratulations on becoming an adult."

Elder Wan stretched out his hand to support Xun Huan, and when his hands touched Xun Huan's wrist, he lost a little internal energy along the way, which relieved some of the pain for him.

"Thank you, Elder Wan." Xun Huan bowed, his face paled.

Patting Xun Huan on the shoulder lightly, Elder Wan stroked his beard and said approvingly: "You're still good when you're not stupid. You've been tossing around for a long time, go back and rest first."

"Yes, thank you Elder Wan." Xun Huan naturally understood what Elder Wan meant by "being stupid", and bowed again to thank him.

"Congratulations," the leader stepped down from the high platform and congratulated Xun Huan. Seeing his tired and haggard face, he continued, "The banquet starts at night. If you are not feeling well, it's fine if you don't attend."

Xun Huan raised his head and looked at Feng Yan with lingering eyes, as if Feng Yan was the only one in his eyes, and Feng Gui, who was following the leader, was completely ignored. However, even though he was so infatuated with him, he still acted according to his duty.After a half salute, "I'll just rest for a while, it's okay. But I heard that you are not feeling well, the leader, is it serious?"

"It's just a slight wind and cold, don't worry about it." Feng Yan touched his suddenly itchy nose.

"No. Master, please take care of your health." Xun Huan looked at Feng Yan foolishly, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.

After being silent for a while, Fenggui finally spoke, "Fenggui, I congratulate Mr. Xun on getting the crown. This is a small gift prepared by me. It is not a respect. Please don't dislike Mr. Xun."

Hearing this, Xun Huan noticed that there was another person beside him.Busily took the small box from Feng Gui, "Thank you, Feng Gong... the deputy leader."

The moment his eyes caught Feng Gui, Xun Huan couldn't help but froze for a moment.He has heard many people praise Feng Gui's appearance, and he also knows that he is now at the top of the list of beauties, but seeing this moment, he still can't help but lose his mind.

Seeing such a bright and majestic person, and thinking of how sick he was all year round, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.After finally suppressing that little thought, just as he smiled at Feng Gui, he caught a glimpse of the red marks on his neck from the corner of his eyes.

"Pfft—" A mouthful of blood came out suddenly, Xun Huan hunched over and coughed violently, "Ahem——"

"Young Master Xun, you..." Of the four people on the stage, Feng Gui was the one who reacted the fastest. He supported Xun Huan, and quickly tapped a few acupuncture points on his chest, losing some internal energy. , Only then can he barely suppress the poison that surged up due to his excessive emotions.

"Cough cough, thank you...cough cough, deputy leader, cough cough..." Xun Huan slowed down a little, and as he got closer, the ambiguous marks on Feng Gui's body became clearer.

The young master in Mufeng Garden, he knew that the leader must have never touched him. He grew up in the Tianshen religion, and Xun Huan had also heard that the former leader and his wife were deeply in love with each other. When the leader rejected him, he said, "I don't love you." Even if you don’t love, if I fall in love with you, one person is enough, and you will live and die.”

Therefore, although he was rejected by the leader, he still held a glimmer of hope, at least...

At least, the leader isn't in love with anyone, is he?

Maybe one day, the leader will understand his goodness...

But now, even this extravagant hope...

"Red Marriage!" The leader coldly called out to the female doctor in white who was ready to take orders from the audience.He didn't want Feng Gui to misunderstand his relationship with Xun Huan, but now that Feng Gui didn't care at all, and even took good care of Xun Huan, he felt as if he was choking, and his chest was uncomfortable.

The female doctor in white came quickly, jumped onto the stage, took Xun Huan from Feng Gui, took the pulse, took out a small bottle from her medicine pocket, and poured out a pill for Xun Huan, "Master Xun, your body needs Resting, I am tired today, and my mood is agitated, and my blood is attacking my heart. I need to take another dose of medicine later, so I need to take a good rest."

Nodding his head in response, Xun Huan was now in a state of confusion, and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave first."

The female doctor in white helped Xun Huan go down, and Xiaoyuan, who was so anxious that she scratched her heart and lungs, ran over immediately, asked Chi Yin for the prescription, and then hurried to order someone to make the medicine.

All the believers in the audience were gossiping in private, while distractedly paying attention to the stage.

After Xun Huan left, Elder Wan suddenly said to the leader: "Boy Xun has not been easy these years. For the sake of his late parents, the leader should try his best to take care of him."
