Coming-of-age Ceremony Center.

Although Mo Yang had left them behind, Ning Yiyuan and the others quickly caught up with the main group. The difference was about five minutes.

However, it was these five minutes that made Ning Yiyuan miss the qualification to be a ‘Companion’ at the coming-of-age ceremony.

A Companion, as the name implied, was someone who could accompany Mo Chu to complete the coming-of-age ceremony. Generally speaking, the most important person in a girl’s life would take up this role.

Ning Yiyuan was Mo Chu’s Guardian, while Mo Yang was Little Chu’s brother. The two of them undoubtedly had this qualification.

However, because Mo Yang had applied a few minutes in advance and Mo Chu had also agreed, this qualification naturally fell to him.

As for Ning Yiyuan, who was one step behind, he could only become a guest at the ceremony and watch pitifully from the side… He strongly suspected that Mo Yang had deliberately let him take advantage of the opportunity so that he would miss this opportunity!

Humph, as expected of someone who had been in the army for so many years, he had also become more scheming.

Thinking of this, Ning Yiyuan could not help but gnash his teeth…

Zhong Wen and Zuo Lin saw that the situation was not right and quickly took a few steps back. If they provoked their Boss at this moment, they would not have a good ending!

Elder Ning did not have such concerns. Seeing Ning Yiyuan’s depressed look, he laughed out loud. “Look, they are indeed a group of young people. They even want to compete for this!”

“That’s right!” Sitting at the side, Elder Qin’s face was full of smiles. He had not participated in this coming-of-age ceremony for many years. Now that he was sitting here, he was also extremely excited.

Ning Yiyuan silently turned his head and glanced at them. “So… you two have been ‘colleagues’ before?”

As soon as he said this, the smiles of Elder Ning and Elder Qin instantly froze on the spot..

Neither of their families had a girl, so where did this opportunity come from…

This bastard!

Elder Ning could not help but turn his head and glare at Ning Yiyuan. He was so young, yet he had learned how to expose people’s shortcomings! He was really becoming more and more unlikable as he grew up!

When he turned his head again, he just happened to see the exquisite and beautiful Mo Chu at the corner, and his mood instantly improved a lot!

Sigh! She was still a lovely girl!

Mo Chu, who was highly regarded by Elder Ning, was a little nervous at this moment.

The process of the coming-of-age ceremony was not complicated. There were many similar videos on the internet.

She had watched it three times before she went to bed last night. She had to memorize the contents of each segment in her mind, afraid that she would forget it.

Everything was originally well-prepared. However, when she arrived at the venue and saw so many guests attending the ceremony, her relaxed heart instantly tensed up again. Her heart felt as if it was a little rabbit. ‘Thump, thump, thump…’ It bounced around non-stop.

“Don’t be afraid.” Knowing that his sister was lacking in this area, Mo Yang pat her shoulder and said gently, “I’ll always be by your side. Nothing will happen.”

“Mm.” Mo Chu took a few deep breaths before nodding. “I know.”

At this moment, a clear bell suddenly rang.

Dong — Dong —

“Today is Miss Mo Chu’s coming-of-age day.” The voice of the host, who was standing at the very top, was slow and gentle, but there was a hint of seriousness in it.

The venue suddenly became quiet.

No one spoke anymore. Even the sound of their breathing became much softer, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

“Now, the coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, the lights on both sides of the venue lit up, and in an instant, it was as if it was daytime.

In the center of everyone’s line of sight, Mo Chu was holding onto Mo Yang’s arm. From the right side of the red carpet, she walked forward step by step. The sound of her footsteps was exceptionally clear in the silence.

With every step that Mo Chu took, small pieces of flotsam would float down from the red carpet. The color of the flotsam would change from light to divine, creating an exceptionally beautiful scene.

Actually, this red carpet path had its own special meaning. It symbolized how Mo Chu had grown step by step from her childhood to the present day. It would become more and more colorful and intense.

Walking on the red carpet, Mo Chu’s state of mind became calmer and calmer. The nervousness from before seemed to have been thrown into the clouds.

On the other hand, Mo Yang, who had a calm expression on his face previously, had his hands and feet stiffened. His face was filled with shock, and he almost did the same thing with his hands and feet!

… What the Hell is this?!

Looking at Mo Yang’s strange footsteps, Ning Yiyuan could not help but widen his eyes. His heart felt like it was dripping blood!

Such an important day and such an important position had been snatched away by Mo Yang. He… had actually made such a ghastly appearance? It would be better to let him come!

Perhaps under Ning Yiyuan’s gaze, Mo Yang gradually returned to his normal level.

Half a minute later.

The two of them walked side by side to the front of the red carpet.

Mo Yang took a step back slightly, leaving the entire center of the venue to the only main character of the day — Mo Chu.

The corners of the host’s mouth curled up slightly as he said softly, “Mo Chu?”

“Yes.” Mo Chu nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the smile on the host’s face became more and more intense. Following the usual practice, he started to recite the congratulatory speech. “Mo Chu, it’s the 30th year of your life. You are now an adult. I hope that you will be blessed and safe in the future.”

At the same time, the faint ringing of the bell filled the entire hall. The sound went from small to loud, inspiring the hearts of people.

“Next, I would like to invite the two elders to give a toast.” This was the second segment of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Logically speaking, the two elders should be Mo Chu’s parents. However, due to her parents’ premature death, after intense competition, the roles of these two elders were finally taken up by Exalted Chen Bai and Elder Ning.

When he heard the news, he was overjoyed!

Their Ning Family was even more miserable than the Qin Family. Not only did they have a thin line of children, but so far, there had not been a single girl in five generations, let alone an elder who would give a toast like this.

Therefore, Elder Ning had specially prepared a new set of clothes for today’s toast. He looked energetic and dignified.

However, for some reason, his vigor was immediately reduced by half as soon as he walked onto the stage.

Elder Ning, who had never changed his expression even before the arrival of a great enemy, was trembling in his legs at this moment and could not say a word for a long time.

“Heh!” Seeing this, Elder Qin couldn’t help but chuckle. “Wasn’t this old fellow quite capable before? He can’t even speak clearly now. It’s so embarrassing!”

The venue was quite quiet to begin with. Although Elder Qin lowered his voice, Elder Ning still heard his words clearly!

He felt annoyed and glared at Elder Qin!

This old fellow… still dares to laugh at me?!

Watch me perform perfectly, I’ll scare you to death!

Elder Ning thought it was rather beautiful, but his mouth trembled for a long time and he could nto say a word.

His old face showed some shame. Tell me, why is this useless at such a critical moment?

Fortunately, Exalted Chen Bai, who was next to him, spoke first to save the venue. His warm and powerful voice resounded throughout the entire venue.

“Everyone knows that I’ve spent most of my life soaking in demonic plants. I haven’t gotten married and have no children. I originally thought that this was how I would spend my life,” he said. Exalted Chen Bai turned his head and looked at Mo Chu. His expression immediately became warm. “But it’s different now. I have Little Chu as my disciple.”

“She would send me Spirit Food and Spirit Wine. She would be worried that if I stayed in the laboratory for too long, it would be bad for my health. Every once in a while, she would forcefully drag me out for a few rounds. When the weather was cold, she would take the initiative to buy me some cotton clothes to protect me from the cold…” The smile on Chen Bai’s lips grew wider, however, the corners of his eyes were shining. “I feel that I don’t have a new disciple. Instead, I feel like I have a caring daughter!”

“Today, I’m very honored to be able to stand in this position and say these words,” Exalted Chen Bai paused for a moment and said in a serious voice, “Little Chu, don’t worry. From now on, you can boldly walk forward. If there’s anything, I, as your master, will take care of it for you!”

Chen Baizun was not a talkative person.

Today, he was so full of himself. No one present felt impatient. Instead, a warmth rose in their hearts.

“Good!” The host took the lead in clapping. Then, the applause reached the sky, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Strike while the iron is hot. The host looked at Elder Ning and gave him a look.

With Chen Baizun’s backing, elder Ning was no longer nervous.

He was from the army, so he did not know how to be cultured. He just waved his hand, “Little Chu, I have the same intention as Exalted Chen Bai. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you in the future, they will be going against our Ning Family! I, this old man, have always been a little short-tempered, so everyone should consider it carefully…”

As he spoke, the old man reached out and picked up a decorative stone at the side. With a squeeze, the stone in his palm broke into several pieces. His strength demonstrated what ‘short-tempered’ meant!

After this action, all the guests watching the ceremony were dumbfounded. In the end, it was only when Elder Qin took the lead in clapping with a smile that they managed to salvage the situation.

The host at the side could not help but swallow his saliva.

Well… he had held this coming-of-age ceremony for 50 to 60 years. It could be said that he was very experienced.

However, no matter how experienced he was, he had never seen such a thing!

One had to know that normally, the elders would say things like ‘safe and sound, good health’ in their congratulatory speeches. Unlike this one, who was completely out of the ordinary, it was clear that he was trying to cover up his shortcomings to the end!

As expected of Mo Chu’s coming-of-age ceremony, it was definitely ingenious!

“Cough cough…” After coughing twice, the host suppressed the shock in his heart and announced the next procedure — Filling the basin.

“Everyone, please send your blessings and place your gifts in the ‘Blessing Basin’.”

At this segment, there would be a staff member carrying a huge basin and walking around in front of every guest for a while. Meanwhile, the guests would also place their prepared gifts into this basin, it signified their blessings to Mo Chu.

Generally speaking, the more gifts there were, the more the basin was filled, and the more blessed the girl would be.

Everyone was very clear about this point. Moreover, those who could attend today’s coming-of-age ceremony were not short of money.

Therefore, very soon, a series of clanging sounds rang out at the venue. The basin was almost full before the guests had even left halfway.

Upon closer inspection, there were some who gave antiques, some who gave cash, and some who gave room cards… The most eye-catching gift was the one given by Exalted Chen Bai — he actually gave a normal green pot plant. It was very creative, and it was very extravagant!

In terms of price, the value of this green pot plant was definitely more than the value of this pot of gold and silver treasures!

The guests present could not help but look out. Wow! Look at this green color. It was so vivid that it seemed like it was about to jump out. It also carried a faint fragrance. It could not be more beautiful!

Even the staff members who were used to seeing such wealth could not help but be dazzled by it.

What was worse was that the pot they prepared had always been very big. It was not much worse than a bathtub.

Therefore, even if it was a very wealthy family, they would at most fill the basin half full. But now, the guests had not even walked half a circle, and the basin was already filled to the brim?!

The two workers carrying the basin could not help but cry. Just how rich were they?

What was even more embarrassing was that they did not have any extra basins at all, okay?

Fortunately, the other workers had good eyesight. Seeing that the situation was not right, they quickly ran to buy a few more. Otherwise, they would really have missed out on a business trip!

Of course, today’s ‘Inhumane’ coming-of-age ceremony had left a deep impression on them.

Elder Ning raised his head proudly. “Haha, our Little Chu is so lucky!”!

When the Blessing Basin was brought in front of Ning Yiyuan, everyone could not help but stretch their necks, waiting to see his grand gift!

Then, a scene that surprised everyone appeared…

Ning Yiyuan actually jumped into the Fortune Basin!

So, did he treat himself as a gift to Mo Chu?

Elder Ning’s proud face turned from red to white, then from white to black. He was so angry that he shouted, “What are you doing, Kid? Hurry up and come out!”

“Sigh!” Elder Qin quickly reached out to stop him and said with a smile, “This is a young man’s matter, why are you meddling here!”

The host who watched all of this could not help but wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Damn! Hosting this coming-of-age ceremony was even more tiring than hosting five in a row!

Finally, it was the last segment. The host could not help but sigh in relief, and even his voice sounded a little cheerful. “Finally, Mo Chu, please tie your hair.”

This segment had been used hundreds of years ago and had been passed down to this day.

Mo Chu tugged at the hem of her skirt and half-knelt on the soft cushion in front of her. She lowered her head slightly.

The staff behind her held an exquisite and elegant hair band in both hands and walked forward. Then, she turned around and handed it to Mo Yang, who was beside her.

Looking at the hair band in his hands, Mo Yang’s eyes were slightly bitter.

In the end, he still took two steps forward. His hands trembled as he tied the hair band around Mo Chu’s hair. When the wind blew, it lifted slightly.

“The ceremony is now concluded–” the host shouted.

Only then did Mo Chu stand up.

From now on, she was officially an adult!
