Time seemed ordinary, like a white horse passing by, and life passed quickly. Mu Fan came back this time, firstly to visit his father and everyone in the clan, to celebrate the New Year, and more importantly, to participate in the sacrificial activities in the clan.

This sacrifice is the biggest annual ceremony of the Zhuanshui clan for thousands of years. It is to worship the ancestors of the Zhuanshui clan, pray for good weather in the coming year, and ensure the continuous inheritance of the descendants of the clan.

Preparations for the sacrificial ceremony began a month ago. On the first day of each year, the high priest of the family led a group of priests to hold the ceremony. They prayed, danced and played continuously throughout the day, to thank the ancestors for their blessings, and to pray for good luck in the coming year. Or pray for favor.

The sacrificial ceremony is the biggest event in the clan, and everyone with status in the clan must participate in it, and the more ordinary people, the better. Mu Fan has cultivated since childhood, has outstanding talents, and is a rare hundred-day baby. Therefore, regardless of From any perspective, Mu Fan must participate.

Of course, before participating in the sacrificial ceremony, the whole family will do their best to prepare for the relevant matters. Basically, the high priest will join hands with the priests to carry out the sacrifice, and Mu Fan naturally doesn't have to do anything.

However, Mu Fan also has some things of his own. He came back from abroad and brought back a lot of fresh medical theories. Combining some of his ideas, they can always produce unexpected results.

So during this period of time, Mu Fan has been communicating with the old doctors in the clan to improve some medical books in the clan for reference and reading by future generations.

Although Mu Fan was not busy, during this period of time, Mu Fan became more and more aware of his feelings for Ye Lingtian.He believed in his intuition, and he also believed in Ye Lingtian, knowing that he and Ye Lingtian were connected, maybe after the sacrificial ceremony, he had to find an opportunity to reveal his affairs to the high priest and the others.

......

The sacrificial ceremony finally kicked off after days of preparations, and before dawn, Mu Fan's clansmen woke up early, waiting for the sacrificial ceremony to come in the square.

On the first day of the new year, as the first round of the sun rises, the sound of the horn pierces the sky, making a billowing and majestic sound.

With the sound of the trumpet, the sound of ritual and music gradually became clearer, and when the sun was bright, the high priest began to sing words and pray.

"Everything in the world is permanent, and all things lead to the same goal. All things in the water, the yin and yang can be known..." The high priest's voice was powerful and passionate, and the already loud voice was wrapped in spiritual power, stirring in the hearts of the people.

Mu Fan stood a few meters behind the high priest. Although he had experienced this kind of sacrificial scene several times, every time he participated in it, there would be a kind of excitement in his heart, throbbing from the depths of his soul. Every time he sang, he would feel I felt that I resonated with something in the altar, but this kind of resonance was fleeting and difficult to grasp, so I didn't care about it, and of course I didn't mention it to everyone.

After the high priest's congratulatory speech was sung, the ceremonies and music continued, but at this time the people in the square were no longer as serious as before. Circles gathered in the square, singing and dancing, until the sunset was late and the sky was full of stars.

The high priest and the old people couldn't keep up with the young people, so naturally they wouldn't dance with them, and Mu Fan didn't like this kind of noisy scene by nature, so he followed the high priest to the bamboo house.

"Hehe, Xiaofan, you are quiet by nature, why don't you play with those children in the clan?" The high priest asked kindly.

"I'll accompany the High Priest!" Mu Fan said with a smile while lowering his head. He has been by Yan Yue's side since he was a child. He has no biological father since he was a child, only Yan Yue has a father, and he is devoted to cultivation and medicine. Children of the same age are not willing to play with him at all.

Moreover, Mu Fan also has the title of Baby of the Day, which the tribe has always attached great importance to, so the children are also afraid of hurting Mu Fan when they are playing, and will be reprimanded by the elders of the tribe.

Of course, the clansmen didn't dislike Mu Fan, but their friends of the same age respected him very much, but it was precisely because of this respect that they became more cautious and less free in front of Mu Fan.

Therefore, Mu Fan lost his companions in the clan after coming and going. Although Mu Fan felt that the children of the same age were envious of his talent and respected him, but sometimes it was unavoidable to be lonely and difficult to integrate into their circle. The reason why he was eager to enter the society to experience.

The high priest patted Mu Fan's head and said with a smile: "Hehe, well, I know your temperament, when you have a partner in the future, it should be fine, but Xiaofan seems to be quite old."

"Well, it's nineteen this year." Mu Fan responded to the high priest's words, but his face was still a little hot when he heard the word partner.

The reason why the high priest said partner is because their family is very special, and hundred-day babies are always rare. Sometimes it can be two men who form a partner. This is also for the reproduction and inheritance of the Zhuanshui family. The offspring produced tend to be stronger.

Speaking of partners, Mu Fan felt that at this time, he could mention the matter between himself and Ye Lingtian to the high priest and the others, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by an outside voice.

"Great...high priest, the person who came that day is here again, saying that he is here to participate in the sacrifice, and he brought a lot of things." The visitor was panting, and reported the situation to the high priest.

The high priest frowned slightly, knowing that the visitor was talking about Nie Kang, and ordered them to let Nie Kang in first, no matter what the purpose of this person's visit, he must not be allowed to disrupt the sacrificial ceremony!

Nie Kang didn't barge in this time. He didn't know about it last time, but he barged in like that, and it was quite troublesome. Moreover, the key point is that Mu Fan didn't seem to like it, so this time, Nie Kang stood respectfully at the gate. There, wait for someone to report.

Until someone came to lead him in, but he didn't let his "guard of honor" in.Nie Kang waved his hand and asked them to wait while he stepped into the door.

When he got to the hall where the high priest was, Nie Kang finally saw Mu Fan again, and was immediately overjoyed, and the scene was complete.

"High Priest, today is the sacrificial ceremony. For the better reproduction and development of our family, I also brought some things to express my heart." Nie Kang did a good job in the scene, and said respectfully.

"You are not a member of my clan at all, and we don't need these things." The priest next to him said, mercilessly hitting the nail on the head.

"Nie Kang, your grandfather Qiong Lie did something wrong in his early years, and he is no longer a member of our clan. You shouldn't have sent these things." The high priest also spoke at this time, expressing his attitude.

"Haha, High Priest, my grandfather is my grandfather, and I am me. Even if I am not a member of the clan now, I believe I will be soon." Nie Kang smiled, and his eyes drifted towards Mu Fan from time to time while speaking.

The high priest was very puzzled, but seeing Nie Kang's self-confidence, he felt as if he was not talking in his sleep, and Nie Kang's eyes on Mu Fan...did not escape his old eyes. Could it be...what is the relationship between the two ?

"Let me tell you the truth, Mu Fan and I are in love with each other and want to become a couple. Today, in addition to the sacrificial items, we also brought the betrothal gift for engagement." Nie Kang's smile faded slightly. Received, he seemed very friendly, and his tone was full of enthusiasm when he spoke. It's no wonder that he hasn't seen any troubles in so many years.

However, as soon as Nie Kang said this, the room fell silent instantly, and a needle could be heard, and they all turned their eyes to Mu Fan, some in disbelief, some with doubts.

Mu Fan was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Nie Kang would be so disgusting. After chasing after the clan, he still used such indecent and inferior means. Did he really think he was easy to bully?

"It's impossible for me and you. First, we are not familiar with each other, so we can't talk about mutual affection; second, don't think that this will impress me, even if you move a silver mountain here, it is impossible to impress me at all. "Mu Fan spoke eloquently without showing any sign of weakness.

Nie Kang didn't expect Mu Fan to be so smart, which is completely different from his usual modest and docile style, but the more he is like this, the more he can't resist his liking for him. You must know that he has never been so patient with a person.

Nie Kang really wanted to form a partnership with Mu Fan, and he came here this time to test the attitude of his tribe.However, I really hate Ye Lingtian a little bit, I don't know how far the two of them have gone, maybe they have already captured Xiaofan's heart.

"Hehe, I know what you are talking about is angry. I used to have a lot of things that were wrong, and I will slowly correct them. Besides, you have to consider the survival of my family. I am so powerful. Apart from me, I dare say that there is no other person. The two candidates are more worthy of you than me." Nie Kang was cheeky, and what he said was true.

After hearing Nie Kang's words, the high priest couldn't help but feel inspired. In fact, they were more concerned about this aspect. From the point of view of physique, Nie Kang and Mu Fan may be the most suitable, because no matter whether they are powerful or hundred Riying, the partners are usually people with strong physique or extraordinary cultivation talents, and only in this way will the offspring inherit the excellent blood of their parents, so that the tribe can continue to live forever.

Noticing the weak reaction of the high priest and the group of old men, Nie Kang smiled with satisfaction.

However, Mu Fan said at this time: "You should die, I will not choose you." He bid farewell to the high priest and retreated, leaving only the people in the room looking at each other.

"As you said, the two of you may be more compatible in terms of system, but a different mind may be a bigger problem, and..." the high priest said slowly, Qiong Lie's problem is always a heart disease, let alone know What is the purpose of Nie Kang's visit, not to mention that I feel that Nie Kang is very difficult to mess with, so I had to suppress this topic.

Nie Kang is worthy of being a person who has been struggling in the society for so long, and he quickly noticed the high priest's concerns: "Don't worry, we all share the same origin. Grandpa may be a little greedy, but grandpa is not a bad person. So Over the years, I have never stepped out of Kyushu Island, let alone done anything harmful to nature, let alone me, I am wholeheartedly devoted to Mu Fan. and things that hurt others."

The high priest stroked his beard, leaving only a smile of unknown meaning, and did not speak...
