Chapter 21
Su's mansion is located on Kaiyuan Street in the south of Los Angeles, and the entire mansion occupies almost half of the street.Even though it was early winter, the strong green trees in the mansion still stretched out their tender green branches from the high blue-black walls, making people imagine the spring in the mansion.

Under Su Cen's leadership, Mu Ye bypassed the front hall of the Su Mansion, passed through two pavilions, a rockery, and an artificial lake with black scales, before arriving at the backyard of the party.

According to the customs of the Zhongzhou mainland, the men's coming-of-age ceremony is held in the front hall, while the women's coming-of-age ceremony is held in the backyard.Even though Su Cen is a monk, the custom passed down from ancient times cannot be changed.

The backyard of the Su Mansion is quite large, with a radius of about ten mu.In the middle is a small fountain that uses a magic circle to operate, and there are scattered small pavilions around it.When Mu Ye came to the backyard, the pavilion was already full of people.Most of them are young people dressed as monks, and there are also some old people in rich clothes, who presumably are Su Cen's elders.

Looking around, Mu Ye didn't find any acquaintances, and didn't know where to sit, so he frowned slightly.Seeing this, Su Cen at the side immediately said: "Mu Ye, you sit in the small pavilion in the northwest corner first, and after the coming-of-age ceremony is over, I'll introduce you to the fellow Taoists around you."

Mu Ye nodded, then walked towards the pavilion Su Cen pointed to.

At the beginning of the hour, the coming-of-age ceremony officially began.

First, an uncle of Su Cen's clan read out the congratulatory speech.It's nothing more than praising Su Cen's outstanding talent, high level of cultivation, and winning glory for the clan, and congratulating Su Cen on growing up, hoping that she can reach a higher level in the future, and so on.

The old man read the congratulatory message in a cadence, and his thick and old voice wafted through half of Su's residence. Presumably he also liked Su Cen quite a lot.

It's just that the congratulatory speech was too lengthy.By the time the clan uncle finished reading, Mu Ye had already drank three cups of tea.

Next, a girl dressed as a maid inserted an iron thorn flower into Su Cen's hair, symbolizing that she had grown up; then, she washed Su Cen's face and hands with clean water, indicating that Su Cen had put the The childishness of childhood is washed away, and it will become mature in the future.

...

After a full hour, this cumbersome coming-of-age ceremony was over, and the servants finally brought up the fruit plate and snacks.These snacks are quite exquisite and taste good, Mu Ye has nothing to do, so he keeps eating them.It wasn't until Su Cen ran in front of him that Mu Ye put down the food in his hand.

"You have a good appetite." Looking at the empty plates in front of Mu Ye, Su Cen smiled, and said, "Don't eat, let me introduce you to some of my fellow disciples." Ye walked towards the big pavilion to the east.

In the pavilion, more than 20 young people have gathered in twos and threes, all of them are dressed in gorgeous magic robes and carry a flying sword on their backs.Seeing this attire, Mu Ye couldn't help laughing, and slandered: "Obviously you can put the flying sword in the space ring, but you have to take it out to pretend, lest others don't know that they are already monks in the state of concentration. They are really a group of guys who love to show off !"

Su Cen naturally didn't know what Mu Ye was thinking.When he came to the pavilion, Su Cen said with a smile: "Thank you brothers and sisters for coming to the coming-of-age ceremony for my little sister today. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."

As soon as Su Cen finished speaking, there was a burst of polite chatter from the crowd.

"Senior Sister Su, you are too modest. It is a great blessing to be able to participate in your coming-of-age ceremony. How can you forgive me?"

"Senior Sister Su, you can reach the Great Achievement of the Concentration Realm at the age of 16. You are extremely talented. Entering the Pifu Realm is a surefire thing. It is really lucky for three lives to be able to come to watch the ceremony today."

"Junior Sister Su, the juniors are right. Although you started late, your cultivation speed is not slow, and you can be called a genius. All our seniors are disciples of the Qingzhu Peak lineage, and we need a lot of help in the future. .”

"That's right, Junior Sister Su, Master has high expectations for you. If you weren't entangled in this secular world this time, you would definitely come to watch the ceremony in person."

...

The compliments from the crowd became louder and louder, making Su Cen blush a little.After a while, everyone stopped.Su Cen then said: "Thank you, fellow apprentices. By the way, let me introduce to you, this is my fellow Taoist—Mu Ye, and I are both from Los Angeles. This time, I was also invited to watch the ceremony. "After that, he tugged on Mu Ye's sleeve and pulled him in front of everyone.

To be honest, this was the first time I met so many "living monks", Mu Ye was still a little embarrassed.After all, he used to deal with dead monks. Although he had seen living monks, it was not such a big show.Moreover, Mu Ye didn't have a good impression of these disciples of the Tianlan Sect.But now that he has stood in front of the stage, Mu Ye is too embarrassed to shrink back, so he can only bite the bullet, cup his fists and say: "Mu Ye, I am a casual cultivator, I hope you can give me some advice."

As soon as the words fell, there was a whisper in the crowd.

"Casual cultivator? Judging by his appearance, he should be just a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Realm, right?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. Just looking at this outfit, it's shabby enough, even inferior to ordinary people. It's worthy of being a casual cultivator."

"No, maybe this dress is already his most gorgeous."

"Hehe, a casual cultivator, would you be ashamed to come to watch the ceremony? When the ceremony is sung later, I would like to see what gifts he brought."

...

The discussion in the crowd made Mu Ye slightly frowned.

Although he knew in his heart that there was a grievance and a debtor, and that his father's death and mother's blindness were caused by a certain monk of the Tianlan Sect and had nothing to do with these ordinary disciples, Mu Ye still had a heart for most of the Tianlan Sect disciples. There is a grudge.Coupled with their sarcastic words, Mu Ye was extremely dissatisfied.If it wasn't for Su Cen's face, Mu Ye might have walked away.

Seeing this, Su Cen looked a little embarrassed, so he said, "Fellowmen, Mu Ye is my good friend, and his conduct is excellent. Although he is a casual cultivator, his strength is not weak. I hope everyone can respect each other, Just take it as a way to save face."

"Junior Sister Su, since you said that, we naturally want to give you face. But I don't know what kind of confidence you have for being a confidant, so that you can defend it like this." Su Cen's voice just fell, a silver-white dress The tall and thin man in the robe narrowed his eyes and said.

Mu Ye's brows frowned even tighter.

Su Cen's face was a little gloomy, and he glanced at the tall and thin man, and said, "Senior brother Lin, what I said just now did not mean to defend anyone. Everyone who comes is a guest, I just want everyone to have a good time in Su's residence." Be happy, don't hurt your peace because of some unnecessary problems."

The tall and thin man nodded, and stopped entangled in this matter. He changed the subject and said: "Junior Sister Su is very true, and all the juniors and I also believe in the character of Mu Daoyou. By the way, the singing ceremony should start soon? Junior sister, we For your coming-of-age ceremony this year, I went to Biancheng specially to bring you an unexpected congratulatory gift." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mu Ye intentionally or unintentionally.
