On this day, Li Hao got up early, although he didn't care whether he could inherit the position of patriarch at all, but in order to make his father happy, he still had to go all out.

Li Hao was dressed like a zongzi by the two maids sent by his father, and Li Hao's whole person at this time was wrapped under a wide black robe. This is the rule left over from when the clan was still a nobleman, and even if it is now in decline, the rules are still indispensable.

The two maids told Li Hao some more things, and then took Li Hao to the square.

This square is located in the center of the family, and it is usually the place where the family holds events, so this time it was still held in the square without exception.

At this time, the square was already full of people, and everyone was waiting for the coming-of-age ceremony to begin.

"I'm glad you're all here today." An old man in a black robe loudly announced, "Today is a special day, today is the fourteenth birthday of our eldest young master Li Hao." According to the rules left by the ancestors, the sons of each patriarch must hold a coming-of-age ceremony on this day. And now the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest young master Li Hao is about to begin. ”

The old man in the black robe is the great elder of the clan. Every group activity is almost presided over by the great elder, and the patriarch also sits on the patriarch's platform and watches the activities.

"Before that, let me announce the process of the coming-of-age ceremony." The Great Elder continued to announce, "There are three coming-of-age ceremonies, the first is for Li Hao himself to read the oath of adulthood, and the second is for Li Hao to thank the patriarch for his fertility and nurturing. The third is that Li Hao danced with a girl in the clan. ”

"In addition, after the coming-of-age ceremony, there will be an important event...... "The Great Elder deliberately lengthened his voice," and that was the battle for succession. ”

"Good, good......" As soon as they heard that there was going to be a battle for the heir, the people below cheered.

If it was in the past, they wouldn't be so excited at all, because the sons of each patriarch are strong, and others have no chance to compete at all.

But this time is different, this time the eldest young master is Li Hao, the young master who is recognized by the people of the clan as the most expensive in history. Especially among the teenagers of this generation, there are a few intermediate fighters, which makes them even more excited.

This time, the people in the audience still don't know how many people want to see Li Hao make a fool of themselves? After all, they had never seen the patriarch's son defeated.

Seeing the cheers of the people below, Li Hao naturally knew what they thought, Li Hao just smiled faintly.

"Li Hao, no matter what, you are a good son of your father." Li Mingming secretly thought that although he was also sweating for Li Hao, he was ready to shoot at any time, no matter what, he would not allow his son to be hurt.

"I now declare that this coming-of-age ceremony begins now." The Great Elder's voice was unusually loud.

Hearing the announcement of the Great Elder, the people in the audience also fell silent, "Then let's invite our eldest young master Li Hao to appear now." The Grand Elder continued.

Hearing this, Li Hao dragged the heavy robe slowly out under the leadership of the two maids.

"Haha...... Look at how funny our eldest young master is dressed. Seeing Li Hao's appearance, many people in the audience laughed loudly.

"Is it that funny?" Li Hao glanced at them fiercely. I don't know why they all consciously quieted down when they saw Li Hao's terrifying eyes.

"Don't see if you have that qualification, you have to know that I am the eldest young master of this family. Although I am not very strong and you look down on me, today I will make you regret it. If you want to defeat me, you don't have that strength yet. Li Hao was really angry, he knew that the more he tolerated others, the more arrogant he became. Today is a big day for him, and he is going to be perfect in this day. Not only can you win over others, but you also have to overwhelm others in momentum.

Hearing Li Hao's words, the people below were all shocked, they never expected that the young master of waste wood would have such courage.

"Boy, wait, we'll make you pay for those words in a minute." Li Huan and Li Hai muttered unconvinced.

"Today is my coming-of-age ceremony and it would have been a happy day. And I'm here with a good mood. I didn't want to talk about that, but I don't say that there are always people who don't know their strength. Li Hao continued his speech.

"I grew up in the family, but I didn't feel any warmth from the family, you are sneering at me every day, you are happy to see that I am useless, right? I know you've been waiting for this day for a long time, and you want to defeat me and become the heir, right? To tell you the truth, I really don't care that much about the heir to this family. Li Hao's every word pierced everyone's hearts, they all understood that Li Hao was right, and each of them probably laughed at Li Hao to a greater or lesser extent.

Especially Li Hao's father, Li Mingming, when he heard Li Hao say that he didn't even feel a little warmth, a sad feeling arose, although it was someone else who laughed at Li Hao, but didn't he, a father, not protect his son?

"The only thing I couldn't let go of in this family was my deceased mother, and of course my father. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have the slightest nostalgia for this family, and even if you begged me to be the heir of this family, I wouldn't have the slightest bit of emotion. But for my father's sake, today I must take this heir to the throne. Didn't you wait for this day for a long time? After the coming-of-age ceremony is over, if any of you want to challenge it, please come, I will not be the slightest bit timid, and I will not show the slightest mercy to my men. Li Hao shouted resolutely.

"Father's child Li Hao thanks you for your childbirth and parenting, now that the child is an adult, he will never disgrace you." Li Hao then kowtowed to Li Mingming three times.

"Li Hao believes in you for his father, and you will always be the pride of his father." Saying that, Li Mingming stepped forward to help Li Hao. He never thought that his son would have such courage, even if Li Hao was defeated this time, there would be no shame, because his every word had already shocked everyone.

"This son will do something." After listening to Li Hao's words, the Great Elder thought to himself. The Great Elder's name is Yun Zhitian, and his seniority is higher than Li Mingming, but he is pure-hearted and has no desires, and he has never even married, he treats the children in the clan equally, even Li Hao, he is full of like, which is different from the Second Elder.

Because the two sons of the second elder, Li Huan and Li Hai, are the ones who want to compete for the position of heir. Therefore, the second elder always had a hostile attitude towards Li Hao.

"Now that Li Hao has completed the second part of the coming-of-age ceremony, then let's move on to the last link, and now Li Hao will dance with a girl in the clan." After watching Li Hao's performance, the Great Elder continued to announce.

At this time, the scene suddenly quieted down, although their family continued to decline, but the population is increasing, and now in addition to Li Hao's family, there are many branches, so there are still a lot of girls below.

But at this time, none of the girls took the initiative to stand up, not because the girls were shy, on the contrary, there were many girls who took the initiative to dance with the young masters at every coming-of-age ceremony, especially because they all wanted to leave a good impression on the future patriarch. But this time it was different, because none of them were optimistic about Li Hao.

"Haha, no one wants to dance with him to see what he does." After no one danced with Li Hao for a while, Li Huan gloated.

Li Hao was also very embarrassed to see such a situation, he had calculated everything but did not include this detail, in fact, he should have been prepared for this a long time ago based on his usual performance.

"I ...... I...... May I? Just when Li Hao was embarrassed, a shy voice appeared in everyone's minds.

People's eyes followed the source of the sound, they were so curious, they didn't expect that someone was really willing to dance with Li Hao.

Even Li Hao was a little strange, because in his impression, there had never been a girl who had spoken to him at all.

What appeared in people's eyes was a cute girl with long hair and blue clothes, and at this time, the girl's shy little face showed a hint of pink, and the girl was even more beautiful.

Being able to say this sentence is already a lot of courage for a girl, and now that so many people look at their own girls, they are really even more shy.

Li Hao observed the girl carefully, and then remembered that the girl's name was Li Shanshan, a young lady from a separate family, and Li Hao had seen the girl a long time ago when he was working hard to cultivate. Only then did Li Hao, who knew the girl's name, really didn't know anything about it, and it was already very good to be able to remember the girl's name.

"May I?" After waiting for a while, the girl saw that no one spoke, thinking that no one else had heard clearly, and then said it again.

"Your name is Li Shanshan, right, it's my honor to dance with you." Saying that, Li Hao took a step forward and took Li Shanshan's little hand.

Hearing that Li Hao could still call his name, especially holding his hand, Li Shanshan was so nervous that she almost fainted.

However, Li Shanshan still tried her best to calm herself down, and followed Li Hao step by step.

"Can we begin?" Li Hao smiled at Li Shanshan.

After getting close to Li Hao, Li Shanshan found that Li Hao had a very handsome face, and the smile just now was even more charming.

"Hmm." Li Shanshan nodded shyly.

I saw Li Hao's two hands gently holding Li Shanshan's little hands. Then Li Hao's hands drove Li Shanshan's hands up slightly. And so the dance began.

In order to make himself perfect, Li Hao has practiced various things in the family since he was a child, including dancing, so Li Hao dances relatively fluently. And Li Shanshan, as a girl, has been practicing dancing since she was a child, and her dancing skills are even better.

In the soft sunlight, there were two graceful bodies dancing in the stands.

Their dancing is more beautiful than the swan, and more fluttering than the snowflakes. Now they seem to be the most beautiful things in the world. Everyone's eyes are also focused on them.

Some were envious, they were completely overwhelmed by this beautiful dance, and some were jealous, they were angry when they saw Li Hao being able to perform so perfectly.

But no matter what kind of eyes they looked, the people in the audience were surprisingly quiet, and they were afraid that their small voice would ruin the beautiful atmosphere.

Finally, Li Shanshan was still excited, she accidentally crooked one foot and then leaned back.

But Li Hao didn't show any panic, only to see Li Hao's originally raised hands quickly go down, and then naturally grabbed Li Shanshan's thin waist, the whole movement was so smooth, people thought that they did this action on purpose.

At this time, Li Shanshan's body was firmly held in Li Hao's arms at a 45-degree angle. The whole dance ended perfectly in this pose.

"Thank you." Li Hao said softly next to Li Shanshan's ear.

was already held in Li Hao's arms, and when he heard Li Hao say thank you to himself, if it weren't for this posture, it is estimated that Li Shanshan would have fainted happily.

"No...... No, no," Li Shanshan stammered as she replied, "Actually, I have long admired the eldest young master very much, and I have always wanted to follow in the footsteps of the eldest young master." ”

Li Shanshan's words made Li Hao very strange, he didn't know what Li Shanshan meant. Thinking about it, he also knows how he could know that Li Shanshan has been attracted by Li Hao's spirit of hard cultivation since he first met Li Hao, so much so that he has been cultivating hard every day.

Li Hao didn't know how many times Li Shanshan had secretly observed the scene of her hard cultivation.

Feeling that she was still in Li Hao's arms, Li Shanshan broke free shyly, and then ran down quickly. I'm afraid this is Li Shanshan's happiest day.

"Li Shanshan?" Li Hao silently read Li Shanshan's name, and it seemed that another name had been engraved in Li Hao's mind.

At this time, the Great Elder walked over slowly. "Let me now announce the official conclusion of this coming-of-age ceremony. Li Hao successfully became an adult in the family. In the future, everything he will decide and be responsible for himself, and these have nothing to do with the patriarch. All his honors and disgraces have nothing to do with the patriarch. ”

In fact, the last sentence is the point, because from now on, others can casually challenge Li Hao without affecting the face of the patriarch.

"Due to the rules handed down by the ancestors, the position of the patriarch is not necessarily done by the son of the patriarch, and all the people in the clan have a chance, so everyone can challenge Li Hao to their heart's content, and whoever wins in the end will be the next heir. However, the challenger must be under the age of 16. The Great Elder's voice was deliberately amplified several times.

Because the most exciting coming-of-age ceremony of each session is the battle for the heirs.

"Now I announce that this heir competition is now open." The Great Elder shouted, and the audience suddenly became noisy.

"I have a good show to watch this time, I heard that this eldest young master is very wasteful." A person who has separated from the family said.

"And I also heard that the two sons of the second elder are very powerful, and they are the ones who want to compete for the position of heir." The other chimed in.

"I really don't know what kind of result will happen now, will it break the situation that the young master wins every time? If that's the case, although Li Hao's matter won't affect the patriarch now, the patriarch's face will still be unbearable. The people below began to talk.

Of course Li Hao also knew what they were talking about, if it was Li Hao in the past, he might still be a little scared, but the current Li Hao is something they can easily defeat? (To be continued.) )
