83: Eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony

Three years, and another three years.

The usually low-key and quiet Su Family of Haiya Prefecture was unusually lively today.

Because today was the eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony for the Su Family's "Young Miss," Su Quan.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, all the prominent figures came to pay their respects, and many brought their own Young Masters, hoping to use this Opportunity to become familiar.

In the back courtyard, inside the room.

Su Quan sat in front of the bronze mirror, while Yin Suwei stood behind him, pinning his fluffy black hair into a phoenix crown, and finally securing it with a jade hairpin.

After finishing all this, he looked at the breathtakingly beautiful "young lady" in the mirror, who looked like a Heavenly Immortal, and even as a father, he couldn't help but feel a flutter of emotion.

When following Su Jing in the Immortal Domain in the past, he had seen many high and mighty Heavenly Immortals, but none could compare to the "beautiful girl" before him.

That child who once ran around barefoot in a red bellyband had gradually bloomed with a stunning charm that could topple kingdoms.

"My Little Quan is so pretty! I wonder which Young Master will be the lucky one in the future!"

"daddy, have you forgotten even now that I am a boy!"

Su Quan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, forced to wear light makeup, and felt somewhat powerless.

This sentence immediately woke Yin Suwei up. His expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "Xiao Quan, never say that in front of your mother, otherwise she will inevitably fly into a rage again."

"Also, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, and there are many distinguished guests visiting. You must pay attention to your words and actions. Don't be so reckless anymore; you must act like a refined young lady!"

"I know, I know!" Su Quan replied listlessly.

Having lived together for eighteen years, he had gradually accepted his current identity. Although he was raised as a daughter, Yin Suwei and Su Jing treated him with great care.

"Alright, Little Quan, daddy will take you out now to meet the guests!"

Yin Suwei walked in front, leading Su Quan through the quiet corridor all the way to the front courtyard.

At this time, the front courtyard was already crowded with distinguished guests, including wealthy merchants with vast fortunes, powerful Cultivators with heaven-reaching abilities, and high-ranking officials from Haiya Prefecture and other prefectures.

Su Jing stood in the middle of the guests, talking loudly and enjoying the flattery of everyone, occasionally letting out hearty laughter; it was clear she was in a good mood.

Suddenly, she spotted Su Quan walking over and quickly waved with a big laugh.

"Little Quan, come to Mother!"

This sentence immediately drew everyone's gaze to Su Quan.

Gasps of admiration and exclamations rose one after another in the crowd.

"I had long heard that the Su Family's Young Miss had an peerless demeanor, but seeing her today, it is truly far better than the rumors!"

"To be able to see the face of the Su Family's Young Miss is truly a trip worth taking!"

"If you ask me, it's because Su Jing has good genes. That appearance was a beauty known for thousands of miles back then, only then could she give birth to such a beautiful daughter!"

"..."

Listening to these flattering or praising comments, Su Jing was beaming, sweeter than if she had drunk honey.

At this moment, her gaze toward Su Quan had a little less disgust and a little more warmth and affection.

After all, although her child's talent was a bit poor, her appearance was world-class and unparalleled.

At this time, someone else spoke up.

A Mahayana Stage Cultivator took the initiative to show favor: "I wonder if the Su Family's Qilin daughter has a match? This humble one has an only son who is also exceptionally handsome. If the two could be paired, that would be wonderful."

As soon as these words were spoken, others reacted and chimed in.

"Sister Su, my family also has a useless boy. His talent is okay, and he has the bloodline of an Immortal. He is sixteen years old this year, but he is already in the Deity Transformation Realm."

"Sister Su, I have a disciple who, by chance, joined a major sect in the Immortal Domain. He is a bit older, turning three hundred this year, but doesn't the old saying go 'a man three years older is like holding a gold brick'?"

"Sister Su..."

Facing everyone's enthusiasm, Su Jing could only respond with a smile and vague replies. To be honest, she was very tempted. If she could pick a good son-in-law and climb the social ladder, perhaps the possibility of being transferred out of Haiya Prefecture and returning to the Immortal Domain would greatly increase.

However, she could fool others, but she knew very well in her heart.

Little Quan... has always been a boy.

If she really married some Young Master with a terrifying background, it would be difficult to end well.

So, she laughed it off, scratched her head, and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, but my daughter is still young and has no intention of marriage yet. I want her to grow for a few more years, let's talk about it in a while!"

After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "Little Quan, go sit with the young people and get to know everyone. It will be better to have more support when you go out in the future!"

Seeing Su Jing say this, these distinguished guests felt some regret and pity, but they could also understand. With such an outstanding-looking daughter, as a mother, she must want to choose carefully.

Su Quan was already feeling uncomfortable, so he walked toward the circle of young people as instructed, while actually calculating in his mind how to sneak out to find Little Dragon Girl and farm regret value.

Oh no, it was to play with his good sister.

Speaking of which, the heavenly mandate male protagonist Long Rui, whom the System warned about from the beginning, had not appeared until today. This was not good news.

If the Daughter of Destiny and the heavenly mandate male protagonist got on the right track, then as a vicious villain, it would be hard for him to have a good ending.

"Um, hello, I, I am called Kang Shuai. My mother is the Floating Daoist. I am very happy to meet Miss Su today!" A young man with a feminine appearance and a bit of a pretty-boy look blocked the distracted Su Quan.

His cheeks were flushed, his manner was coy, and he took a sachet from his bosom, his voice as thin as a mosquito's hum: "This is a sachet I sewed myself. I hope, I hope Miss can like it!"

Su Quan came back to his senses. He noticed that not only the young man in front of him, but all the young men in the courtyard had abandoned their usual dignity and reserve. Each of them was making eyes at him, casting flirtatious glances, and their burning gazes seemed capable of melting someone.

Conversely, those young women had jealousy and hostility clearly written on their faces.

Among them, there were many pursuers of the young men in the courtyard. But seeing the usually cold and indifferent, chaste Young Masters behaving so passionately in front of Su Quan, acting like they were ready to be picked...

Which woman could endure such a contrast?

"This pretty boy is really annoying!"

"Look at those thin arms and legs, This old lady could crush her with one hand!"

"She's also flat-chested, I'd make her feel inferior to death in front of me!"

"..."

Several burly women whispered indignantly, their voices just loud enough for Su Quan to hear.

Su Quan didn't care at all. Instead, he showed a gentle yet appropriately distant smile to the shy man in front of him: "Sorry, I have a sachet sewn by my daddy. You should keep your sachet!"

It was a very polite rejection.

These words stopped many young men who wanted to show favor. They would have been very willing to give themselves away, even if it was just for one night of pleasure with the "young lady," but looking at the young man's attitude, it was clear he didn't want it even if it was offered.

Just as the courtyard was noisy and chaotic, a cold announcement came from outside the courtyard, not loud or soft, but it just happened to suppress everyone's Aura.

"The Chixiao Spirit Maiden under the seat of the Immortal Domain's Yaochi, has come to visit!"
