At seven o’clock, The Qi family home was ablaze with lights.

The Qi family hosted a banquet every New Year’s Day, inviting all the family members and in-laws.

There was another reason for holding this party this year: to introduce the newest adult offspring.

Children of the Qi family awakened when they reached adulthood.

Of course, not everyone did, as some were unable to do so.

However, once awakened, their status was different.

The Qi family had been able to continue to develop because of these youngsters.

These awakened geniuses, with proper training, would all be better off, and they could bring a different kind of change.

One needed to awaken in order to take a better position in this society and to achieve greater success, not to mention the other benefits. For example, people who awakened would live a few years longer than ordinary people.

Moreover, after awakening, they would be able to learn different types of knowledge and be exposed to a different world.

Therefore, these awakened children were the treasures of the family.

The Qi family was a large one, with about two or three hundred people in all.

Of course, there were a lot of side lines in this family.

There weren’t many direct lines. In Qi Zhi’an’s generation, only he and his elder brother, Qi Zhiqiang, were direct descendants.

When he took over the throne, only their family would be in the direct line of descent.

In the next generation, there were only three children.

Qi Zhiqiang had two children, a son and a daughter. With Qi Xin, Qi Zhi’an’s daughter, that meant that there were three children.

Due to the different resources they received, the percentage of awakenings in the side line and the direct line were not the same.

Qi Zhiqiang’s son was awakened and his daughter was ordinary.

Although Qi Zhi’an had only one daughter, his daughter had awakened and was much more talented than Qi Zhiqiang’s son.

This year, besides Qi Xin, there were other people in the side line families who had also awakened.

Combined, there were three young people who had awakenings.

However, when you compared them carefully, Qi Xin was the more powerful one.

The Qi family’s awakenings were easy to see, as after awakening, a lotus pattern appeared on one’s body.

The clarity and position of the pattern represented the difference in talent. The clearer the pattern and the higher the position, the better the talent.

Qi Xin’s pattern was above the chest and below the neck.

As long as she wore clothes, the pattern was covered. However, she usually didn’t use her psychic powers, so the pattern wouldn’t surface.

The other two, like her, had just come of age and had also awakened. However, their patterns were blurred and positioned below the waist.

Compared to Qi Xin, they were too far behind.

Together with Qi Zhi’an’s status, Qi Xin was the star of this party.

No one else could overshadow her.

Everyone knew that she was different from the others and would reach different heights in the future.

Even if she is a girl, if she performed well, she could even become the head of the Qi family one day.

The big deal was that when she gave birth to a child, the child would also be surnamed Qi.

The Qi family did not care much in this regard. As long as they could give birth to excellent children and pass on the Qi family name, that was enough.

It doesn’t matter if they were male or female, it was the bloodline of the Qi family.

So, Qi Xin was the star of the show tonight, and a number of people had already gathered around and started to compliment her.

“Xinxin is awesome! If only I could awaken too, how great it would be!”

The girl next to her couldn’t hide her envy.

They were all children of the Qi family, but unfortunately, they were unable to awaken and naturally had nothing to do with the core of the family, much less access to more complicated things.

Qi Xin was poised in the midst of everyone’s compliments with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, looking noble and subdued.
