NOVEL WEB Chapter 22 Apology and VIP Card! (page 12)
The bell for the coming-of-age ceremony had just rang, and Xiao Ze, Xiao Xun'er, and Ya Fei made their shining debut.
It seemed that they were the protagonists of the coming-of-age ceremony, attracting the attention of most people present.
With a smile on his face, Xiao Ze quickly pulled Xiao Xun'er and rushed to the area where the Xiao family's underage children were.
Ya Fei also returned to the VIP table without changing her expression.
It's not like she hasn't seen such a highly anticipated scene over the years.
Xiao Zhan, who was standing on the stage, coughed and drew everyone's attention back.
"Thank you for your honor and coming to participate in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony..."
When Xiao Ze heard Xiao Zhan start to speak eloquently, the smile on his face froze slightly.
It seems that no matter where you go, long speeches are always indispensable.
On top of the high platform are the core members of the Xiao family, including the patriarch and elders.
Originally, as a member of the main lineage, he was qualified to stand on that high platform.
However, Xiao Ze wanted to accompany Xiao Xun'er, so he came to the area where the underage children of the Xiao family stayed.
Today's protagonists, the children of the Xiao family who have grown up this year, are staying in another area, preparing to take the test.
Xiao Ze looked around and saw someone waving to him in the corner.
Xiao Ze pulled Xiao Xun'er over and saw Xiao Yan looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Fourth brother, you really saved my life!"
"Ah?" Xiao Ze was a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Third brother, no one is threatening your life around here, why do you say this?"
"You don't know, before I came here, almost everyone was looking at me."
"Especially those guys in the VIP seats, all of them looked at me like they were real, they wanted to see through my body!"
Xiao Yan said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Fourth Brother, you are here and you immediately attracted the attention of those guys."
"Haha, third brother, that's not the case. Even if I don't come and the coming-of-age ceremony officially begins, they won't keep their eyes on you."
Xiao Ze smiled and comforted, while Xiao Xun'er stayed quietly aside.
In front of Xiao Ze, she could act as lively as the girl next door or her childhood sweetheart.
But in front of outsiders, Xiao Xun'er usually behaves coldly and unapproachable.
Even if others want to get close, they will be defeated by Xiao Xun'er's seemingly polite smile, but in fact, she refuses people thousands of miles away!
Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan were chatting while watching the coming-of-age ceremony.
This year's coming-of-age ceremony was unremarkable, with no particularly unexpected dark horses or outstanding talents.
During testing, everything looked unremarkable.
Some people passed the Dou Qi test and were overjoyed to continue practicing in the Xiao family.
Someone missed a move and walked off the stage in despair, preparing to accept the arrangement of the Xiao family and become a peripheral steward.
As the grandson of the Great Elder, Xiao Ning's talent was pretty good and he barely passed the test.
He was beaten into a pig's head by Xiao Ze before, so he just stayed in the house all day and didn't go out to cause trouble. He seemed to have grown a lot.
"Fourth brother, by the way, did the Great Elder and the others come to apologize?"
"Ah? Where did this begin? Great Elder...did you blame me?"
Xiao Ze couldn't help but ask when he heard Xiao Yan suddenly mention this topic.
"Xiao Ning came to me to apologize before, and our hostility turned into friendship."
Xiao Yan thought for a while and then told the truth, explaining the whole matter clearly.
"But he finally asked me to say some kind words in front of you, but I refused. I asked him to apologize to you himself."
"Then I don't know. I've been staying in Back Mountain during this period and haven't even been home a few times."
"Ah...it seems that Xiao Ning can't find any trace of you. I'm afraid he will come looking for you after the coming-of-age ceremony is over."
Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, he saw an old figure coming near them.
"Xiao Ze, do you have time? I want to talk to you."
"...Great Elder?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but said when he saw the sudden appearance.
"Haha, I am no longer the so-called great elder..."
"Okay! Find a remote place."
Xiao Ze is fearless. He can now fight the Great Elder back and forth, and he is not afraid of his tricks.
When I came to a secluded place, I found that someone was already waiting there.
Xiao Ze's expression was a little subtle, it was Xiao Ning!
"Xiao Ze, my grandson had a conflict with you before, and I also got angry and attacked you. Please forgive me!"
The elder said sincerely, his face full of apologies.
Xiao Ning did the same and bowed to Xiao Ze repeatedly.
"Haha, Great Elder, what are you saying? Although you have been temporarily removed from the position of elder, your contribution to the Xiao family cannot be erased."
Xiao Ze had expected it before he came, but he didn't expect the great elder to be so straightforward.
Even if everyone carries the sedan chair, he will not hesitate to say some kind words.
We are all members of the same clan. No matter how big the conflict is, why can't we just talk about it?
"The conflict between Xiao Ning and I was about the humiliation of the third brother. Now that the third brother has no objection, I will naturally not continue to hold on to this matter."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Ze, you are really broad-minded! You really should be the Qilin son who will lead the Xiao family to glory in the future!"
The great elder said ecstatically, and all kinds of rainbow words came out one after another.
Xiao Ze blushed a little when he heard this. The Great Elder usually had a serious look, but he didn't expect that he had such skills in Rainbow Talk.
"Okay, Great Elder, now that this matter has been discussed, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
In the end, Xiao Ze couldn't bear to compete with such an old fox.
It can't be compared, it can't be compared at all.
He could always speak rainbow words to Xiao Ze from various tricky angles.
If he wasn't the Great Elder, he wouldn't have known that he had so many advantages!
Watching Xiao Ze leave, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ning also looked at the Great Elder with admiration.
"Grandpa, why didn't I know you were so good at praising others? Why have you never praised me?"
Upon hearing his grandson's question, anger flashed across the elder's face and he patted Xiao Ning's head.
"As long as you have one-tenth of Xiao Ze's efforts and achievements, grandpa, I will praise you as much as you want!"
"The problem is that you are not good at it. If I give you a chance, you will fail!"
"Oh, grandpa, stop fighting, stop fighting! You are not a genius to begin with, but if you keep fighting, you will become a mediocre person!"
Xiao Ning ran away with her head in her arms and said quickly.
After hearing this, the great elder stopped.
He really couldn't bear to beat his grandson into a mediocre person.
"Xiao Ning, you must work hard to become a talented person!"
This farce between grandfather and grandson in a hidden corner has just come to an end.
……
When Xiao Ze came back, he found that the ceremony had entered the next stage.
