The coming-of-age ceremony in the Xuanhuang Continent is a relatively important day, and it is particularly popular among the nobles. Children in the clan will hold the coming-of-age ceremony when they are over 18 years old, which means that they are already an adult and can become officials and join the army as generals. Some noble children can also get family ceremonies at the coming-of-age ceremony, master one land, and become the highest executive officer of that land.

Xiao Tianci happened to be adult this year. According to Mr. Xiao's intention, he would hold a wedding with Ellie at his coming-of-age ceremony, but it seems impossible at the moment. If nothing unexpected happens this time, Xiao Tianci will be severely punished and his future is worrying.

On September 8, 2130, in the lobby of the Duke of Fuguo, all the members of the Xiao family stood here. At the first of the lobby was an old man nearly a hundred years old, with a weathered face and two deep-sleeping eyes, deep and bright, and looked very vivid; his hair was short but neat. He was wearing a neat gray long gown and sat quietly on the chair without anger. In those eyes that had been buried deeply by the vicissitudes of time, there seemed to be a flash of light flashing, and the light flowed, as if he could see through everyone's heart.

He is Optimus Prime of the Xiao family, Xiao Heng, the Duke of the Assistant Kingdom. The old man is already ninety-eight years old. The traces of time are becoming more and more obvious on him. He was once as smart as a fox and is now old.

"Father, I don't know if you will get something for this retreat." Xiao Shiyun, who was sitting on his hands, asked.

"Yeah, I've got something." After blowing the tea in the bowl, Xiao Heng nodded slightly and said, "By the way, how did you decide what God has done?"

"Back to my father, I plan to let Tianci join the vanguard camp and go to the army to train, so as to sharpen him." Xiao Shiyun replied respectfully with a hint of nervousness on his face.

"Forward Camp?" Old Master Xiao frowned and then relaxed again. "Well, this child has lost his parents since he was a child and has a somewhat withdrawn personality. He should exercise more."

"By the way, what about Tianya, how about it in the military office?" Old Master Xiao turned his gaze to Xiao Tianya standing below.

Xiao Tianya hurriedly walked out when he heard his grandfather’s question and returned, “Grandpa, I have been a staff officer in the military office for a while and have learned a lot from the Chief Military Advisor, and I have gained a lot. Recently, I have also participated in the formulation of several military operations in the Tianxing Kingdom. The Chief Military Advisor is very satisfied with my grandson.”

"Yeah, it's not bad, but you must be cautious and be impatient. Please ask the chief military advisor more. After the New Year, I will try to let you lead your own army, so that you can not forget what you have learned." Mr. Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

"Really?" Being able to lead the army by yourself is definitely the dream of all men on the mainland. Xiao Tianya is no exception. He bowed to Mr. Xiao excitedly, "Thank you grandpa."

"Okay, Shiyun, please bring Tianci here. I have been wronged by him during this period. After today's coming-of-age ceremony, let him join the army."

"Yes, father."

Soon Xiao Tianci was brought in. He lost a lot of weight and became much more energetic, as if he had suffered a lot. Of course, these were all agreed by Xiao Tianci and Jia Xu. After seeing Mr. Xiao, he pretended to be like this. After all, Mr. Xiao used to like him quite a bit. Now this bitter plan may make the old man feel compassion.

Sure enough, seeing Xiao Tianci's appearance, Old Master Xiao felt a little guilty, and his tone was not as serious as before. "Tianci, how have you reflected on these days?"

Xiao Tianci coughed twice and said sickly, "Grandpa, Tianci is suffering. Tianci was framed."

"You're talking nonsense. The dragon spear was clearly found in your room. Everyone saw it. And you really like this gun. Now you dare to say that you were framed. It's obviously a quibble." Before Mr. Xiao could speak, Xiao Tianya jumped out as if he was stepped on his tail and pointed at Xiao Tianci and shouted.

Xiao Tianci glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Grandpa didn't even speak, why are you excited?"

"I...I can't stand you and want to argue." Xiao Tianya's face turned red.

"Enough." Old Master Xiao glared at him, "Tianci, do you say you were framed, but is there any evidence?"

"No." Xiao Tianci smiled indifferently at this time and waved his head.

"Look at grandpa, I just said he was quibbling." Xiao Tianya jumped out again.

"Tianci, you..." Old Master Xiao frowned and was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Tianya's close companion Liu Quan suddenly break in.

"Grandmaster, I have something to report." Liu Quan knelt in front of Old Master Xiao and buried his head in.

Seeing Liu Quan who suddenly broke in, Xiao Shiyun felt nervous and thought it was not good. He quickly winked at Xiao Tianya. Xiao Tianya was also stunned at this time. Looking at Liu Quan crawling on the ground standing there blankly, he did not notice his father's gaze at all.

"Say." Old Master Xiao seemed to realize something and put the teacup in his hand on the table.

"Grandmaster, the young man is going to surrender. The little dragon spear was secretly placed in the second young man's room."

"You fart!" Xiao Tianya was as if thunder was struck by lightning, and his head was blank for a while before he could react. He quickly jumped out and pointed at Liu Quan and cursed.

Liu Quan is now completely willing to give up, and shouted, "Grandmaster, everything I said is true. Think about it, I have no need to take this disaster on myself?"

"Liu Quan, you said that you put the dragon spear in the second young master's room. Then let me ask you, how could you, a servant, come into contact with such a valuable thing? Do you think of us all as idiots?" Long Yun, who had not spoken at this time, spoke very clearly. How could you, a servant, steal this magic weapon from Xiao Shiyun's hands? It was clearly a lie.

"Haha." Xiao Tianci smiled softly, "Auntie said this, then I, the person who stole some dragon spear but hid the gun in his room waiting for you to search, wouldn't it be even more stupid?"

"You..." Long Yun was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Tianya said, "Maybe you stole some dragon spear and were about to transfer it the next day? But I didn't expect that we would find out so quickly."

"Ha, maybe you handed over the dragon gun to Liu Quan? You, as a son, want to steal the gun from my hand, I think it shouldn't be difficult?" Xiao Tianci pointed at Liu Quan with a smile and said slowly, "I'm right? Liu Quan."

"This...this...this is indeed the eldest young master gave me the gun." Seeing this, Liu Quan felt aggrieved and told me everything about the matter.

"You fart, when did I ask you to do it? You dare to frame me, I will kill you." Xiao Tianya was crazy at this moment, but he was extremely scared because he knew that if Mr. Xiao confirmed that he had framed Xiao Tianci, he would probably not have been better.

Just when he was about to take action first, a figure flashed by, followed by a scream of "Ah!", Liu Quan, who was crawling on the ground, had been chopped into meat paste.

Then he saw his father Xiao Shiyun standing quietly in front of him, bowing his head to apologize to Mr. Xiao.

"I'm sorry, my father, I really don't want to hear this evil slave here provoking the family affection of our Xiao family, so I can't help but kill him."

Mr. Xiao looked at him deeply, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, this matter has ended here. The matter of firing the dragon spear has nothing to do with Tianya and Tianci, and everything is borne by Liu Quan."

Anyway, he is a dead person, and there is no evidence of death. In fact, Mr. Xiao is still quite clear in his heart now, but both of them are their own grandsons, and their palms and backs are flesh, so he can only turn a blind eye.

After someone cleaned up Liu Quan's body, Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Tianci with guilt. After all, he was wrongly blamed this child. It seemed that he would find a way to compensate him.

"God gift, today is your coming-of-age ceremony. After today you are an adult, what do you think about? Have you done anything in the future? Should you join the army or become an official in the court?"

"Go back to grandpa, my grandson has thought a lot during the period of time in prison, and he has already made plans in his heart." Xiao Tianci bowed to Mr. Xiao with his fists, "The grandson doesn't want to continue to stay in the capital and continue to live under the family's cuteness, so he begs his grandson to give his grandson a piece of territory to show his grandson's ambitions."

"Oh, don't you want to stay in the capital anymore?" Old Master Xiao said in surprise.

"Yes, grandpa." Xiao Tianci confirmed.

"Godci, do you really want to go out like this?" Mr. Xiao asked, "If you want to join the army, grandpa can let you enter the Grand Marshal's Mansion and learn from the Grand Marshal. If you want to join the officialdom, grandpa can let you go directly to the palace to study politics. You can consider it."

"If you can't do grandpa, your grandson still hopes to get a territory and develop alone, and hope that grandpa will succeed." Xiao Tianci insisted. Fortunately, Xiao Shiyun's family has left at this moment, otherwise they will probably jump out and interrupt again, so today, you must make Mr. Xiao nod.

"Okay, since you have such ambitions, grandpa won't stop you." Old Master Xiao stared at Xiao Tianci for a moment, and finally agreed. In his heart, he actually thought that Xiao Tianci was unwilling to stay in the king because he didn't want to face Xiao Tianya and the others again, so he simply walked away. Maybe it would be fine if the two were separated, and maybe this would not happen again today in the future.

"Let's do it, you're going to prepare these days. Grandpa will consider which territory of the family to you."

"Yeah, thank you grandpa."

Two days later, in Xiao Tianci's courtyard, Jia Xu and San'er sat next to Xiao Tianci.

"Congratulations to the lord for regaining freedom. From now on, the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish are leaping." Jia Xu said with a smile while drinking tea.

"Yes, young master, this time I finally got a chance. From now on, the young master will be the lord. Can Saner want to follow the young master and run for you?" Saner also smiled and echoed.
