68. The Coming-of-Age Ceremony of the Heavenly Avian Clan

"Coming-of-age ceremony? How does the Crane clan celebrate that?"

White Crane originally intended to coax Ruan Li to sleep, but realizing she was getting more and more excited with every word, he helplessly explained, "It's presided over by the elders, with family and friends watching as guests. On that day, he must go into the mountains alone to hunt three animals to be used for the sacrificial wine, and at night there's a bonfire party, things like that."

"White Crane, was it the same for you back then?"

The air fell silent for a brief moment.

White Crane said, "No, this is my first—"

Liu He nodded, looking inside from the outside window to familiarize himself with the evaluation process. However, this promotion process was unexpectedly simple: explosive power, instantaneous speed, weight-bearing endurance, reflex testing, and so on.

Before he even had a chance to rest for a moment and rub his stiff face, Iphigenia impatiently dragged both of them off to the Qi family residence.

"Don't be impatient just yet, don't act rashly, let's see what the situation is. Fang Yun, who did you send to protect the laboratory side?" A Fu asked calmly.

Thus, in just a few seconds, this game of chess that Han Lulu had painstakingly set up was dismantled by Jiang Fan.

The high-ranking members of the Ximen family who were called out wailed one after another, their pleas for mercy endless, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Meanwhile, Madam Lin Qiu, who had suddenly realized she was feeling fear toward Lin Xi, flew into a rage the moment she saw the gazes everyone in the Lin family was directing at her. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum, her son Lin Dong flashed forward and blocked her way.

Hearing Baimo's answer, Duyang always felt that the events of that day were like a dream, lacking any sense of reality.

It changed just like that? Yi Yi was somewhat baffled; didn't he still have to wait a few years to find the person he loved?

The results showed that Tian Meng should not have been this formidable; on the contrary, she was quite weak among the chess players, appearing even slightly inferior to Mo Tu, who was also ranked at the bottom.

Pei Shiyin abruptly felt a burning, sharp pain across her face, and thin trickles of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

The child's father turned his head away, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and gave a dry cough. Only then did he properly look her over, freezing when he saw her huge belly. Then, he hurriedly pulled their son away from her, shifting the weight onto himself.

Although Chu Lingding did not greet us when he saw us arrive, he still acted quite normally. Just as Zeng Huan walked in, Chu Lingding's gaze suddenly changed. He stared fixedly at Zeng Huan without saying a word. Zeng Huan looked at him, let out a long sigh, and said to us, "Could you guys step outside for a moment? I want to talk to him alone."

Ye Chenyu did not refute her. He simply waited for Chen Nuo to change her clothes and go out, then took her by the hand and headed to the parking lot together.

Perhaps the illusions here were actually connected to my own heart. The moment I figured it out, the rolling thunder vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all. I truly had no idea what kind of illusions might be used here to disturb me, and my heart inevitably felt a bit uneasy. Right in the midst of this inner conflict, thick fog suddenly began to fill my surroundings.

The head of security had quietly walked up beside Jin Dalong at some unknown point. He was quite smart and knew that he simply couldn't insert himself into the current situation, so he had kept silent all along. It wasn't until now that he spoke in a low sigh, his voice like that of a mosquito.

"Dad, what should we do? This time we've run into truly terrifying people... Especially that old man, his background is definitely extraordinary." Wu Yifan was driving, his voice trembling severely as he spoke.

Moreover, all the submarines that had arrived were Great Ming nuclear-powered submarines. These submarines were all to be taken to the shipyards in Zhu Lei's fief for retrofitting. Compared to surface ships, submarine retrofitting was much simpler; after all, a complete life support system was already installed inside every submarine.

Throughout the entire process, his big boss had acted like a mindless straw man, letting him push him around however he pleased. Seeing this made Bai Dingshan feel even more heartbroken, and he didn't dare to leave for even a second, terrified that his boss might not think things through and do something foolish.
