After thinking for a mont, Mu Qingge took out one-fifth of a test tube of the Genetic Transformation Agent and poured it into a porcelain bottle, flipping it out with a swift motion. Fatty wasn’t like her, he might not withstand the intense strength of the dicine, and one-fifth was more than enough for him.
"Catch." Mu Qingge tossed the porcelain bottle towards Shao Fatty’s chest.
Shao Fatty caught it in a fluster, and asked, puzzled, "What’s this?"
Mu Qingge didn’t offer much of an explanation, rely said, "If you trust , take what’s inside the bottle when you go into seclusion. The process will be very painful, but the rewards after will be absolutely surprising."
"How could I not trust the boss?" Filled with doubt, Shao Fatty carefully put the porcelain bottle into his chest, securing it close to his body.
"This matter, you are not to tell anyone. It’s a secret between you and ," Mu Qingge instructed once more.
Shao Fatty imdiately pressed his lips tightly, making a gesture of sealing his mouth.
Who would have known, today Mu Qingge used one-fifth of the dicine, and in years to co, it led Linchuan to gain a guardian god?
The two, who hadn’t t for a long ti, chatted freely in the room.
Until Hua Yue ca knocking on the door, saying the hour had arrived, only then did they leave Chi Yun Garden together.
When they reached the place for the coming-of-age ceremony, Shao Fatty temporarily parted from Mu Qingge. In a few months, this kid would also have his crowning ceremony.
Mu Qingge arrived at the waiting area and waited in silence.
Waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Yesterday, she had already roughly familiarized herself with the procedures of the coming-of-age ceremony.
Actually, there wasn’t much she needed to be responsible for.
Overall, it was about waiting for the auspicious hour to arrive. Then, according to the Ritual Officer’s instructions, she would perform a series of actions. After that, she would follow her grandfather Mu Xiong to thank the guests who ca to offer their congratulations, and the coming-of-age ceremony would be over.
Clang clang—!
The ceremonial axe lightly tapped, making a crisp sound.
The guests present all quieted down, returned to their arranged seats, and sat in silent anticipation.
Today, the guests at Mu Mansion were nurous. Moreover, most were of extraordinary status. Among them, the large majority were military personnel. After all, Mu Xiong’s influence lay within the military.
The Imperial Family had also sent Prince Rui, Qin Jinhao, as their representative, bringing generous gifts.
The Crown Prince, however, was busy accompanying the Tu Country Delegation and couldn’t attend.
What surprised everyone was that the usually low-key Prince Xian also attended. As everyone speculated on his relationship with Mu Mansion, after presenting his congratulatory gifts, he quietly sat in a secluded corner, as if drifting in an otherworldly realm, unfathomable.
Seeing this, those who were curious abandoned the idea of inquiring and continued their previous conversations.
"The auspicious hour has arrived—!" The Ritual Officer stood on the road paved with a red carpet and called out, gazing upward.
Woo woo—!
A low suona sound rose, like a proclamation to the heavens.
As this sound gradually dissipated, the drums began to play rhythmically.
Mu Qingge stood up, steps landing with the beat of the drum, walking steadily and powerfully towards the red carpet, and up the steps where offerings of the three kinds of animals awaited.
On the steps, Mu Xiong was dressed in formal attire, standing there.
Watching his grandchild, gradually approaching.
On both sides of the red carpet, were guests who ca to observe the ceremony.
The day of the crowning ceremony can be said to be the first important day in a man’s life. Thus, it was always solemn.
Mu Qingge, eyes unwavering, ca to a stop at the foot of the steps, when the drumbeats suddenly ceased.
At this mont, the Ritual Officer let out a loud call. Taking out the sacrificial text ant for the ancestors, he read it aloud. It took the ti of a whole incense stick to finish. Only after completing the reading, he placed the text into the triple-legged tripod to be burned.
