Under the starry sky at night, a magnificent manor appeared in Wang Chen's sight.
Compared to the villa he lives in, this manor is undoubtedly much larger in scale. The main building built with white Star-Hard Stone material gives it a dreamlike feeling under the light.
The noble and elegant mansion, the vast and well-proportioned green space, and the fountain with the statue of Goddess of Light all reflect the profound heritage of the manor owner.
The suspended flying car Wang Chen was riding slowly landed on the berth outside the gate of the manor.
Before him, dozens of speed cars had been parked here, basically all expensive limited edition and luxury models.
Melodious music was coming from the manor villa, accompanied by people's laughter and laughter.
Tonight's Lind Manor is very lively.
Wang Chen got out of the car with the housekeeper, showed the invitation letter to the guard, and was led to the door of the villa by a servant.
"Sir Wang Chen is here~"
Following the slightly exaggerated prompt from the servant, a gentle middle-aged nobleman came forward with a smile.
"Sir Wang Chen, I'm glad you can come to attend my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony tonight!"
The other party was the owner of this manor - Count Lind. Behind him were a beautiful woman and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Wang Chen bowed slightly. "This is my honor."
Count Lind smiled and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is my wife, and this is the protagonist tonight, my most beloved daughter Lin Xuanya..."
Wang Chen See you one by one.
At this moment, there are hundreds of guests in the villa hall. The men and women are well-dressed, many of them are very elegant, and they obviously belong to the middle and high-level aristocrats.
The arrival of Wang Chen inevitably attracted their attention.
Many people are curious.
Because although Linde is only an imperial earl, his Lineage has an extremely glorious history. Even if it is now in decline, the potential of his connections is still very deep.
The guests attending Lin Xuanya's coming-of-age ceremony tonight are either nobles or direct descendants of nobles.
Wang Chen's knighthood is hard to argue with Make a Move here, but Count Lind treats him very politely. In addition, Wang Chen is very young, which can't help but make people think.
Some young guests looked at him with more scrutiny and vigilance!
The protagonist of tonight's feast, Lin Xuanya, is very beautiful. She has completely inherited her mother's appearance. Although she looks quite young due to her age, her youthful vitality is not comparable to that of the latter.
This young girl who is about to become an adult is also somewhat curious about Wang Chen. A pair of Kazilan's big eyes are staring at Wang Chen, as if she wants to see the secret hidden on Wang Chen's face.
Wang Chen smiled slightly, "Miss Xuan Ya, congratulations on the new chapter of your life. I hope you will remain beautiful and kind in the future, and let beautiful things fill your life like sunshine."
Lin Xuanya had a faint blush on her pretty face, and she knelt down and saluted. "Thank you, Sir."
The old housekeeper who was following Wang Chen sent a gift wisely.
"Thank you."
Lin Xuanya took the long mahogany box with both hands. Its heavy weight surprised the girl, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can I open it and take a look?"
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Of course."
At this time, many guests had gathered around, including some young nobles, and their eyes fell on the gifts brought by Wang Chen.
Linde's eldest daughter has already been married, and she married far away. She couldn't come over tonight to attend her sister's coming-of-age ceremony.
The second daughter Lin Xuanya naturally became the apple of the earl's eye.
Lin Xuanya is beautiful and intelligent, and is well-known in the aristocratic circles of Imperial Capital. For many young aristocrats, she is undoubtedly an excellent marriage partner.
She has countless suitors in school!
Before Wang Chen arrived, these aristocratic children who participated in tonight's coming-of-age ceremony had started fighting openly and secretly, and the gifts they gave to Lin Xuanya naturally became the focus of competition.
It can be said that everyone has put a lot of thought into it!
Now a character like Wang Chen suddenly appeared, which made these noble children wary, so everyone wanted to see what kind of gift he gave.
Giving gifts is actually a very profound knowledge, and many things can be seen from it, such as Wang Chen's taste, financial resources, identity, and even whether he has any thoughts about Lin Xuanya.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Xuanya opened the lid of the box.
I saw a dark golden stiletto sword lying quietly on the red velvet. Under the illumination of the crystal chandelier in the hall, it glowed with a low-key yet luxurious matte light.
"Rose Thorn?"
Lin Xuanya's eyes suddenly lit up.
The stiletto sword belongs to the category of ancient swords. In today's era, it is only used as a practice sword and a ceremonial sword. The Rose Thorn is a model of the slender sword, also known as the "lady's sword".
As the name suggests, it is a sword used by women.
Its hand guard is made of lifelike roses and Thorns carvings. The sword body is fine and sharp, and the overall material is exactly the same, showing extremely exquisite craftsmanship.
Lin Xuanya, who is quite accomplished in swordsmanship, fell in love with this ancient sword at first sight.
In fact, Wang Chen was not the first guest to receive a sword as a gift, but compared to the flashy ones given by others, this Rose Thorn gave her a completely different feeling.
"That's it?"
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from the side. "Wang Chen, Sir, today is Miss Lin Xuanya's coming-of-age ceremony. Isn't it too casual for you to just give me this, um, alloy sword as a gift?"
The speaker was a young man with a proud look.
He stood beside Lin Xuanya, not hiding his hostility towards Wang Chen at all!
The surrounding guests all showed subtle expressions.
No matter how exquisite the craftsmanship of the stiletto sword that Wang Chen gave to Lin Xuanya, it cannot hide its "cheapness". There is not even a gem inlaid on the hilt, so how high can its value be?
Lin Xuanya frowned and wanted to say that she liked her very much, but this could easily cause people to misunderstand and think that she had some special relationship with Wang Chen.
In fact, tonight was the first time she saw Wang Chen.
The most important thing is that this aggressive young man has an extraordinary family background and is closely related to her Lineage.
If Lin Xuanya were to side with Wang Chen, the misunderstanding would be even greater!
"Have you got nothing to say?"
Seeing that Wang Chen didn't speak, the arrogant man became even more aggressive.
"Ahem!"
Just when the atmosphere became tense, an old voice suddenly sounded, "If I read correctly, this Rose Thorn is forged with Star Core Gold, right?"
Star Core Gold!
Everyone was stunned, and the arrogant man even blurted out. "How is that possible!"
