Yun Shan Visits the Xiao Household

Being busy is the consensus of everyone in the Xiao Household over the past month.

Even so, every member of the Xiao Household wore a smile that they couldn't hide.

Meanwhile, the festive atmosphere inside the Xiao Household almost infected the entire nearby street.

Many people are still unaware of what has happened to the Xiao Household, but some who received invitations from the Xiao Household already know that the Xiao Household is about to usher in a new era.

That's right, the invitations sent out by the Xiao family already mentioned that Xiao Lin would succeed as the patriarch on the day of the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony.

In fact, most people are not surprised by this.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Xiao Lin's succession as clan leader came a little too late.

For example, the Nalan Family and the Mu Household, the other two Dou Wang Family in the Gama Imperial Capital, had already had their young patriarchs succeed them in the past six years.

Yes, the current patriarch of the Nalan Family is Nalan Jie, while the patriarch of the Mu Household is Mu Chen.

Xiao Lin was the last of the three to become the clan leader.

Of course, invitations regarding Xiao Lin's impending succession as the head of the Xiao Household family were also sent to the Nalan Family and Mu Household.

Both Nalan Jie and Mu Chen expressed their intention to personally participate.

Both of them had a good relationship with Xiao Lin, and over the years, the several Dou Wang Family had also cooperated on various business matters.

To be honest, this is the first time that the Dou Wang Family in the Gama Imperial Capital have been so peaceful!

Before Hai Bodong broke through to the Dou Emperor, the Mittel Family and the Mu Family were constantly engaged in open and covert struggles!

It can only be said that the relationship between the three Dou Wang, Xiao Lin, Nalan Jie, and Mu Chen, has maintained the current relationship between the three Dou Wang Family.

After all, the three Dou Wang are good brothers and friends; how could their subordinates possibly cause trouble?

Of course, besides the Nalan Family and Mu Household, the Xiao Household also sent invitations to other forces such as the Jia Ma Royal House, the Mittel Family, and the Misty Cloud Sect.

However, it's highly likely that the Dou Huang expert from these families won't come.

The Xiao Household family was well aware of this.

And so, amidst all the busyness, the day of the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony finally arrived.

Early in the morning, clan chief Xiao Dongcheng personally led Xiao Lin's son, Xiao Zhan, to greet guests at the Xiao Household's gate.

The fact that the current clan chief and the future clan chief's son greet guests at the entrance is already a great honor for all visitors.

As for Xiao Lin, he was in charge of directing the Xiao Household members inside.

As the person who is about to succeed as the head of the Xiao Household family, Xiao Lin has not had time to cultivate in the past month, and has been frantically learning how to manage all the affairs of the Xiao Household.

By today, Xiao Lin has largely taken over all the power of the Xiao Household from the clan leader Xiao Dongcheng.

Therefore, Xiao Lin is managing everything very well within the Xiao Household family today.

He didn't want to make any mistakes that would embarrass the entire Xiao Household family!

Meanwhile, a huge plaza had been cleared out inside the Xiao Household compound.

In the center of the square stood a black stone monument.

This is clearly intended to test the Dou Qi cultivation of the younger generation of the Xiao Household during the coming- Coming-of-Age Ceremony later.

This kind of thing also appears in the Original Work.

After all, before Xiao Lin's patriarchal succession ceremony, there was a coming-of -Coming-of-Age Ceremony the younger generation of the Xiao Household.

It should be noted that this Coming-of-Age Ceremony was not prepared solely for Xiao Zhan.

Even if Xiao Zhan is the future clan leader's biological son, he doesn't have this much influence!

The Coming-of-Age Ceremony in the Xiao Household is a ritual in which all the younger generation of the family who have reached the age of sixteen must undergo a test before this day arrives.

It is November now.

In other words, even if you turn sixteen this January, you still have to wait until today to have your Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Because Coming-of-Age Ceremony are inherently quite complicated, if every member of the tribe had to undergo a ceremony when they turned sixteen, it would be incredibly troublesome.

Just as Xiao Lin was directing the Xiao Household family members to make various arrangements, shouts came from outside from the Xiao Household's servants.

"Chen Yunyang, the head of the Chen Household family, has arrived!"

"Qin Ke, the head of the Qin Household, has arrived!"

"Mountain-Sea Hall - Wan Qianlou has arrived!"

"Lord of Blue-Green Prefecture, Nangong Zheng arrived!"

One after another, the heads of various powerful families who usually had a good relationship with the Xiao Household arrived at the Xiao Household.

Xiao Lin immediately instructed his clansmen to arrange seating for the guests from these forces.

Those who can now associate with the Xiao Household are basically forces that possess the power of Dou Ling.

Ordinary family is not qualified to receive a special invitation from the Xiao Household.

Of course, the Xiao Household would warmly welcome any Ordinary families that wished to come.

However, guests from Ordinary forces may not be able to enter the Xiao Household compound to witness the ceremony.

Don't blame the Xiao Household for being snobbish.

This is actually how most powers deal with outsiders.

On joyous occasions, anyone who comes to offer their blessings is welcome, as long as they don't come to cause trouble.

The scenario depicted in the novels Xiao Lin read in his previous life, where someone arrives uninvited with no status or power, yet is expected to be welcomed with the highest honors, is practically impossible.

This kind of brain-dead plot only happens to people who don't understand their own place.

Of course, if you're pretending to be weak to deceive others, you might intentionally make yourself looked down upon first, and then humiliate your host.

In fact, to passersby, it's a sign of idiocy.

After all, a normal person wouldn't do such a thing.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that your actions were premeditated from the very beginning, with the intention of causing trouble.

On this big day for the Xiao Household, this ridiculous scenario didn't actually happen.

Finally, following these smaller forces, some influential major forces also made their appearance.

Sure enough, the waiter's call rang out once again.

"Nalan Jie, the head of the Nalan Family, has arrived!"

"The head of the Mu Household, Mu Chen, has arrived!"

"First Elder of the Mittel Family, Mittel Tengshan, has arrived!"

Of the three forces that arrived one after another, the Mittel Family actually sent Mittel Tengshan, the second-in-command of the family, which surprised Xiao Lin somewhat.

However, Xiao Lin still gave them a warm welcome.

Subsequently, the Gama Imperial Family also sent a Dou Wang expert to participate in the Xiao Household's coming -Coming-of-Age Ceremony and the new patriarch's succession ceremony!

Even the Alchemist Guild sent an Elder to the Xiao Household to offer their congratulations!

This demonstrates the Xiao Household's current status within the Jia Ma Empire.

They definitely belong to the very top tier!

It can be said that, at this point, only one significant power within the entire Jia Ma Empire has yet to make its appearance.

However, after seeing the Xiao Household's lavish guest list today, no one doubted that this last influential force would send someone.

However, everyone is just speculating about who this last influential force will send.

As for this force, it naturally refers to the Misty Cloud Sect!

In Xiao Lin's opinion, given the current relationship between the Xiao Household and the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan would most likely send an Elder, just like the Gama Imperial Family, the Alchemist Guild, and the Mittel Family.

However, when the waiter's voice rang out again, even Xiao Lin was stunned—"Yun, Misty Cloud Sect, Sect Master Yun Shan, is here!"

Perhaps due to sheer disbelief and excitement, the Xiao Household family servant's voice trembled as he shouted.

As the Xiao Household family servant's voice faded, the chatter of the other forces that had arrived within the Xiao Household vanished instantly!

Immediately afterwards, their faces all showed expressions of utter disbelief.

Wait, did they just mishear?

The Misty Cloud Sect Master, Yun Shan, has actually come in person?

It's fake, it must be fake!

Either the Xiao Household's servants made a mistake, or they misheard.

In short, they genuinely didn't believe that Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Shan Sect, would personally participate in the Xiao Household's coming -Coming-of-Age Ceremony and patriarch succession ceremony!

You know, this is Yun Shan!

What merit or ability does the Xiao Household possess to warrant the personal arrival of Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Shan?
