In order to ensure the long-lasting prosperity of the family, the key lies in the continuous infusion of new vitality. The younger generation serves as the new blood of the family, constantly injecting vitality to ensure the continuous operation of the family as a huge machine.
Therefore, every family attaches great importance to the Rite of Passage, and the Xiao Family is no exception.
As one of the three major families in Utan City, the Rite of Passage of The Xiao Family naturally attracted high attention from various forces within the city, and even some friendly forces were invited to attend this grand event.
On the eve of the Rite of passage, Xiao Yan sat in his room with a solemn expression, a hint of nervousness showing on his face. Despite having reached the eighth stage of Qi of Fight, he still felt uneasy about the ceremony the next day.
Gu Yunzhi entered the room and, seeing Xiao Yan's demeanor, asked softly, "Are you okay, Xiao Yan? Are you ready for tomorrow's ceremony?"
Xiao Yan Looking up and seeing her caring eyes, he smiled slightly, "I'm okay, just a little nervous. After all, this is an important moment in my life."
Gu Yunzhi Sat gently beside him, reached out and lightly held his hand, "You've already done very well. No matter what the outcome is tomorrow, you should be proud of yourself."
Xiao Yan's palms were slightly sweaty, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "I know, I won't let anyone down, especially not you."
A smile appeared on Gu Yunzhi's face, and her eyes were full of trust: "I believe in you, Xiao Yan."
Later, the two began to discuss the details of tomorrow's ceremony. Gu Yunzhi gave Xiao Yan some advice and encouragement, hoping to help him reduce his nervousness.
As night fell, the courtyard of the Xiao Family was brightly lit, everything was making the final preparations for tomorrow's Rite of Passage.
He walked with a firm and confident stride, as if each step reflected his past hardships and determination.
The courtyard of the Xiao Family was decorated extravagantly, with lanterns hanging high and colorful ribbons fluttering. At the center of the raised platform, Chief Xiao Zhan was already prepared, his eyes filled with anticipation and pride.
The ceremony began, and Xiao Zhan solemnly spoke about the importance of the Rite of passage and the expectations of The Xiao Family for the younger generation. The members of the family present listened quietly, and the air was filled with solemnity and dignity.
Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi sat under the big tree, listening attentively.
Xiao Yan's attention was inadvertently drawn to a woman in a red dress near the giant wooden platform. She was engaging in a friendly conversation with someone, and her charming demeanor and graceful figure caught the attention of the crowd.
The woman full of mature charm is the chief auctioneer Yafei that Xiao Yan had met before at the Temir auction house.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances at her watery waist, secretly admiring, "Truly extraordinary!" But his attention was quickly interrupted by the dissatisfied muttering of Gu Yunzhi beside him.
"Cough...” Xiao Yan awkwardly shifted his gaze and said to Gu Yunzhi: "I didn't expect someone from the Temir auction house to also participate in our family's Rite of passage."
Gu Yunzhi responded coldly: "The Xiao Family has always had a good relationship with the Temir auction house, so her presence is not surprising. Her social skills are well known in Utan City, and many young masters who pursue her beauty have spent huge sums of money but still cannot win her favor." He added, "You'd better not easily test her methods."
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Even if I had the idea, Yafei probably wouldn't be interested in a kid like me. After all, she's seven or eight years older than me."
Gu Yunzhi chuckled lightly and said half-jokingly, "You know, some women do like younger men."
Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something: "Do you like them young, Yun Zhi?"
Gu Yunzhi paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, I do. The younger, the better." He also glanced at Xiao Yan.
With a dry cough, Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he quickly changed the subject: "Today's Rite of Passage is an important day in my life, and I need to focus on it. We can talk about Yafei's matters later."
Gu Yunzhi nodded slightly, her eyes showing a hint of agreement: "You're right. Today, you are the protagonist, and all attention should be on you. I will be here to support you."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and his eyes became firm again: "I know, I won't let everyone down, and I won't let you down."
Gu Yunzhi smiled gently and walked to Xiao Yan's side, encouraging him softly: "Xiao Yan, your growth is surprising. Whatever happens today is the result of your hard work. Relax and do your best."
Xiao Yan looked at Gu Yunzhi with gratitude in his eyes: "With you by my side, I feel like everything is not a problem."
Neither of them noticed that Xiao Xun'er had been watching them the whole time.
Xiao Xuner, a girl of about twelve years old, stood in the crowd, her eyes shining with admiration and hidden affection for Xiao Yan.
Her gaze occasionally fell on the figures of Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi as they conversed, and complex emotions surged within her.
She looked at Xiao Yan, the once invincible hero in her heart, now so intimate with Gu Yunzhi. A sense of indescribable bitterness and envy quietly rose within her.
“Why can Gu Yunzhi easily stand by Xiao Yan’s side?” Xiao Xun'er silently asked in her heart. She remembered admiring Xiao Yan when she was young, the young man who seemed invincible in her eyes.
But now, there seemed to be an insurmountable river between them.
Xiao Xun'er's gaze lingered on Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi, with a faint sense of loss and unwillingness in her heart. "Why can Gu Yunzhi win Xiao Yan's favor, while I can only watch from afar?"
She couldn't help but think, if she had had the courage to approach Xiao Yan in the beginning and go through those difficult days with him, perhaps the situation now would be completely different.
"Xiao Yan Brother, do you know that I have always admired you?" Xiao Xun'er whispered in her heart, but she knew that she could never say these words. In Xiao Yan's heart, she was just an unknown little girl, how could she compare to Gu Yunzhi, such a beautiful woman.
She looked at Gu Yunzhi's confident and elegant posture, feeling a hint of inferiority in her heart. "She always appears so perfectly to help Xiao Yan Brother, while I never have the chance to get close to Xiao Yan Brother again." A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Xun'er's eyes.
Rite of passage While it was taking place, Xiao Xun'er silently watched from the side, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She felt happy for Xiao Yan's achievements, but at the same time, she felt frustrated by her own powerlessness. No matter how hard she tried, she could not become the most important person in Xiao Yan's heart.
