Chapter 22 Apology and VIP Card!
As soon as the bell of the coming-of-age ceremony rang, Xiao Ze, Xiao Xun'er, and Ya Fei made a dazzling appearance.
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 for the underage children of the Xiao family.
Ya Fei also remained calm and returned to the VIP seat.
She had seen such a scene that attracted everyone's attention over the years.
Xiao Zhan, who was standing on the stage, coughed and drew everyone's attention back.
"Thank you all for coming to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of the Xiao family..."
When Xiao Ze heard Xiao Zhan begin to speak incessantly, the smile on his face froze slightly.
It seems that no matter where you are, long speeches are always indispensable.
On the high platform are the core members of the Xiao family, including the clan leaders and elders.
As a member of the main lineage, he was also qualified to stand on the 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 were.
Today's protagonists - the children of the Xiao family who came of age this year - stayed in another area, ready to take the test.
Xiao Ze looked around and saw someone waving at 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 in confusion: "Third brother, there is no one around here who threatens your life, why do you say that?"
"You don't know that before you came, almost everyone was looking at me."
"Especially those guys in the VIP seats, their eyes are like substance, trying to see through my body!"
Xiao Yan said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, fourth brother, you came and attracted the attention of those guys at once."
"Haha, third brother, not that, even if I didn't come, the adult ceremony officially started, they wouldn't look at you frequently."
Xiao Ze smiled and comforted, and Xiao Xun'er stayed quietly aside.
In front of Xiao Ze, she can show the liveliness of a girl next door and a childhood sweetheart.
But in front of outsiders, Xiao Xun'er usually behaves rather cold and unapproachable.
Even if others want to approach her, they will be defeated by Xiao Xun'er's seemingly polite smile, but in fact, her coldness that keeps people away!
Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan chatted while watching the coming-of-age ceremony.
This year's coming-of-age ceremony was mediocre, with no unexpected dark horses or geniuses with outstanding talents.
During the test, everything seemed mediocre.
Some people passed the Dou Qi test and were ecstatic to continue practicing in the Xiao family.
Some people were one step behind and walked off the stage in a daze, ready to accept the arrangement of the Xiao family and become an external manager.
As the grandson of the great elder, Xiao Ning had decent talent and barely passed the test.
Before being beaten into a pig head by Xiao Ze, he stayed in the house all day and didn't go out to cause trouble. He seemed to have grown a lot.
"Fourth brother, did the elder come to apologize?"
"Ah? Where did this come from? Did the elder... offend me?"
Xiao Ze couldn't help asking when he heard Xiao Yan suddenly bring up this topic.
"Xiao Ning came to me to apologize before, and we made peace."
Xiao Yan thought about it and told the truth, explaining the whole story clearly.
"But he asked me to say a few good words in front of you, but I refused. I asked him to apologize to you himself."
"Then I don't know. I have been staying in the back mountain during this period and haven't even returned home a few times."
"Ah, this... It seems that Xiao Ning can't find your trace. I'm afraid he will come to find you after the coming-of-age ceremony."
Xiao Yan just finished speaking when he saw an old figure approaching them.
"Xiao Ze, do you have time? I want to talk to you."
"... Elder?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help saying when he saw the figure suddenly appear.
"Haha, I am not the so-called Great Elder now..."
"Okay! Let's find a secluded place."
Xiao Ze was fearless. He could fight with the Great Elder and was not afraid of him making a move.
When he came to a secluded place, he 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. I also attacked you in anger. Please forgive me!"
The Great Elder said sincerely, with an apologetic look on his face.
Xiao Ning did the same and bowed to Xiao Ze repeatedly.
"Haha, Great Elder, what are you talking about? Although you have been temporarily dismissed 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.
He would not hesitate to say some good words when the sedan chair was carried by everyone.
We are all from the same clan. Can't we talk about the biggest conflicts?
"The conflict between Xiao Ning and I was caused by the humiliation of my third brother. Now that my third brother has no objection, I will naturally not continue to hold on to this matter."
"Okay, Xiao Ze, you are really broad-minded! You are really the unicorn who will lead the Xiao family to glory in the future!"
The elder said ecstatically, and all kinds of rainbow words came out one after another.
Xiao Ze blushed a little after hearing this. The Great Elder usually looked serious, but he didn't expect that he had such a good skill in speaking rainbow words.
"Okay, Great Elder, since this matter has been brought up, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Xiao Ze couldn't stand to compete with this old fox in speaking rainbow words.
He couldn't compete, he couldn't compete at all.
He could always speak rainbow words to Xiao Ze from all kinds of tricky angles.
If it weren't for the Great Elder, he wouldn't know that he had so many advantages!
After watching Xiao Ze leave, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Ning also looked at the Great Elder with admiration.
"Grandpa, why didn't I know before that you are so good at praising people? Why haven't you ever praised me?"
Hearing his grandson's question, the Great Elder's face flashed with anger, and he patted Xiao Ning on the head.
"If you have one tenth of Xiao Ze's efforts and achievements, I will praise you as much as you want me to!"
"The problem is that you can't do it. I gave you a chance, but you are useless!"
"Oh, grandpa, stop beating me! Stop beating me! You are not a genius to begin with. If you beat me again, I will become a mediocre person!"
Xiao Ning ran away with his head in his hands and said hurriedly.
Only after hearing this did the elder stop.
He really couldn't bear to beat his grandson into a mediocre person.
"Xiao Ning, you must work hard to become a talent!"
The farce of the grandfather and grandson in this secret corner came to an end.
...
When Xiao Ze came back, he found that the ceremony had entered the next stage.
The newly adult clansmen accepted the challenge of others.
"Where is my third brother?"
Xiao Ze returned to the original corner and found that only Xiao Xun'er was waiting there.
"Cousin Xiao Yan may not be able to stand the eyes of others, so he left first?"
Xiao Ze looked around and no one paid attention to this corner.
"Xun'er, did you not say a word after I left?"
"Yes, I'm not familiar with cousin Xiao Yan, so we don't have any topics to talk about."
Xun'er said as a matter of course.
"Well, I know why my third brother left."
When Xiao Ze was around, he could still chat with Xiao Yan, and the atmosphere was not so cold and awkward.
When Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er were alone, Xiao Xun'er's temperament was extremely cold, and she directly ignored Xiao Yan.
Xiao Xun'er was smiling, of course she knew why Xiao Yan left, and this was the result she wanted.
'Before, brother Xiao Ze just chatted with cousin Xiao Yan, and there was no room for me to interrupt! '
Thinking of this, Xiao Xun'er moved closer to Xiao Ze and held Xiao Ze's hand.
"Does brother Xiao Ze have any plans today?"
"I plan to find Xiao Yu after the coming-of-age ceremony and ask about the specific enrollment date of Canaan College."
"Then after that, should we go out for a meal?"
Xiao Xun'er said.
"That's fine... but I'll treat you this time."
"No problem! Xun'er is going to make Brother Xiao Ze poor, hehe~"
The two chatted while watching the fight between the Xiao family members on the field.
To be honest, it was boring not only for Xiao Ze, but also for Xiao Xun'er.
The two of them often exchanged fighting skills, and their fighting skills were quite superb.
In their eyes, the fighting between the Xiao family members was nothing more than a fight between chickens in terms of skills.
Xiao Ze also took this opportunity to test Xiao Xun'er and let Xiao Xun'er point out the loopholes in their fighting process.
Xiao Xun'er quickly analyzed their technical loopholes and timing based on her own understanding of the battle.
Fortunately, they stayed in the corner, otherwise people would be stunned and shocked if they heard it.
Because these two teenagers' understanding of fighting may be higher than some experienced old mercenaries!
"Ah... It's finally over. If Brother Xiao Ze hadn't asked me to analyze the battle in the middle, I would have been so bored that I would have walked away."
The coming-of-age ceremony was officially over after Xiao Zhan's announcement. Xiao Xun'er spoke up and stretched her body at the same time.
At this time, a graceful figure came over.
Ya Fei saw Xiao Ze and smiled brightly.
There was no one around in this corner, so Ya Fei spoke boldly.
"Xiao Ze... Master, thank you for saving me earlier."
"This is the VIP card of the Mitel family. You can get a discount when you buy items at the Mitel auction house!"
Ya Fei took out a crystal card from her lining, and the crystal card was engraved with the exquisite Mitel family emblem.
Xiao Ze took the card, and there was still a faint warmth on the card.
"If necessary, I will go to Mittel Auction House."
"Then Yafei will wait... Master Xiaoze's arrival. I will leave first and will not disturb you two anymore."
Yafei said with a smile, waving goodbye to the two.
Xiao Ze watched Yafei leave and prepared to take Xiao Xun'er to find Xiao Yu.
"Let's go, go find cousin Xiao Yu."
"No hurry... Brother Xiao Ze, give me the card first."
Xiao Xun'er suddenly said, Xiao Ze didn't think much, and directly put the card on Xiao Xun'er's white palm.
"Tsk, Miss Yafei really understands men, this card is still warm..."
Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Ze with a smile, and Xiao Ze shrugged.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't care, and a card with body temperature can still make me think about it?"
Xiao Ze rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Xun'er: "Let's go, after asking the date, I still have things to do."
"What to do?"
"I'm going on a long trip!"
