After comforting Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er slightly cupped her hands toward Zhao Yuan, wearing an obedient expression as she said, "What happened earlier was merely a quarrel among hot-blooded youngsters. I never expected it to disturb Senior. On behalf of the juniors, I offer my apologies."
Having said that, Gu Xun'er lightly swept her gaze toward the elder on her left, signaling for him to step forward.
The elder who had received the order immediately tapped the void with the tip of his foot, appearing some ten meters in front of Lin Feng.
"Our Ancient Clan bears no ill will in coming here this time. We merely heard that another genius has emerged on the Central Continent. Thus, our Ancient Clan wishes to invite little friend Lin Feng to attend our once-every-twenty-years coming-of-age ceremony. We also hope to let the younger generation of our clan interact and spar more with the geniuses of the Central Continent."
"That way, they may learn what it means that there is always someone greater beyond the heavens, lest they spend every day looking down on everyone else, arrogant and conceited, believing that having gained a little strength means they can touch anyone they please. Or even oppose colossal forces that have existed for who knew how long."
As he spoke, the elder cast a meaningful glance at Lin Feng.
Then, he clenched his hand in the air, and a black jade invitation appeared out of thin air, floating more than ten centimeters above his palm.
After taking out the jade invitation, apparently worried that Lin Feng would refuse, the elder hurriedly added, "Of course, little friend Lin Feng need not worry about time being tight. Our clan's coming-of-age ceremony will be held in May next year, so there are still roughly eight months left.
