……

Two days later, on April 4, the gates of the Duke of Chang'an's mansion were opened.

At three quarters past three in the morning, the ceremony officially began.

To be honest, for the Chen family, Xiaoyi's ceremony of tying the relatives is far more important than winning the Gaoying Competition.

It was conducted according to the specifications of a grand ceremony.

Nine deep bell sounds rang out.

Xiaoyi walked slowly out from the right side of the courtyard through the moon-shaped door. She had a gilt kingfisher feather on her forehead, and nine strands of red gold tassels hung down her eyelashes.

In between was a crimson teardrop pendant carved from blood chalcedony, which made her snow-white skin glow with rouge, and cast fragments of light at the corners of her eyes as she walked lightly.

The most amazing thing is that between the eyebrows there is a mysterious pattern of yin and yang fish. The ink-black fish are connected head to tail and seem to be alive. In the morning light, purple mist is faintly rising.

On both sides, Su Ningxia and Gao Cuilan stood three meters away holding five-colored silk ribbons.

Xiaoyi walked slowly onto the stage along the eighteen white jade steps in the courtyard.

Every time she stepped onto the white jade steps, someone in the viewing seats on both sides would release their martial spirit avatars at the same time.

In the audience seats were the leaders of the nine major families in Douhun City, the Ning family, the ten major families in Chang'an, and the three elders of Chang'an.

In addition, there are various friendly forces such as Liu Zi of Qushui Liushang, Ding Mo of Meishidian, Zhu Baiwan of Jubaoge, Ma Rulong of Douhun City, etc.

Of course, those from the City Lord's Mansion and the Chang'an Military Region, plus the Chen family, it can be said that most of the Soul Douluo powerhouses in Chang'an City gathered together, nearly forty people.

The phantoms of martial spirits filled the sky, surrounding the ceremonial stage like an iron barrel.

Watch the grand ceremony and show your soul to congratulate!

…………

In the northeast corner attic.

The sound of the bronze bell shattered the sunlight. Chen Zixiu stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene in the distant courtyard.

The two old men stood on the left and right, and the copper bells on the eaves were jingling in the breeze.

The old man on the left has a black crane cloak fluttering in the wind, and a dark red brocade robe with flowing cloud patterns embroidered on the collar.

The deep red lotus pattern on the forehead seemed to be dripping with blood, and the fine lines at the corners of the eyes were soaked in blood.

When he spread his sleeves to face the wind, the jade on his wrist made a sound of metal and stone.

On the right, the silver-haired old man is wearing a tight suit tied around his waist, leaning against a vermilion lacquered pillar with his arms folded.

Although he was in a casual posture, his knuckles were always clasped and he gently rubbed the black jade ring.

The breeze lifted the strands of hair on his forehead, revealing eyes like cold ponds - those were the clear eyes that only young men have.

In the shadow of the attic, the hems of three people's clothes were silently intertwining on the blue brick floor.

The old man Honglian on the left said, "Hey, I really envy you!"

"Zi Xiu was able to take the top of the Tianjiao list as his family's patriarch, and the Chenglin family also took her in as their goddaughter. Only our Ximen family has nothing."

The old man on the right with flowing silver hair and clear eyes is Yang Chenglin, the mainstay of the Yang family.

He didn't respond. In this matter, the Yang family did take advantage.

Instead, he said with emotion: "I never thought that I would see you two again in this life. We haven't seen each other for decades, and it was such a scene when we met again."

Old Man Honglian said, "Chenglin, you are really fast. It only took you one day and one night to travel thousands of miles from your home to Chang'an City."

Yang Chenglin said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoran, if I were any slower, I'm afraid you would snatch Xiaoyi away."

Old Man Honglian, Ximen Xiaoran said with a smile: "Am I that kind of person? You are good, you have broken through level 97."

After receiving the news from Yang Jingxue and Ximen Rongcheng, the two unexpectedly came quickly, and Yang Chenglin even brought a copy of the family tree.

Yang Chenglin chuckled and said, “Two months ago, the old poplar tree in my home broke through 100,000 years and turned into Yang Zu. I took advantage of the opportunity and broke through as well.”

"But, Brother Xiaoran, you broke through level 97 earlier than me."

Ximen Xiaoran sighed, "You have been at level 96 for many years. The so-called free ride is just the result of accumulated experience." His eyebrows trembled slightly, "But to be honest, I never thought that at the age of 130, you could still break through to level 97."

"After the battle in Douhun City, my cultivation was almost cut off. It was only thanks to the Karma Fire Bauhinia Orchid and many healing elixirs given to our family by Zixiu that I was able to make the breakthrough today."

The battle in Fighting Spirit City happened 57 years ago.

The positions of the three giants in Douhun City are rotated every sixty years, and the position of the chief steward at that time was held by Ximen Xiaoran, one of the three royal families.

At that time, he was only 73 years old and was already a Titled Douluo at level 95.

Among the three royal families, in terms of the average speed of breaking through the realm, the Ximen family is the fastest, followed by the Yang family. Although the Chen family is slow, the upper limit is the highest.

Because of the demonic energy of the sword, the Ximen family raced against time and broke through at an extremely fast speed.

Ximen Xiaoran had been the chief steward for five years at that time, so in that battle, many members of the Ximen family bravely took the lead and charged into battle.

This is not only a reflection of their fighting style, but also because Ximen Xiaoran is leading the way.

The Chen family sent most of their forces to come to support, and the Yang family ignored the obstruction of the three inner families and resolutely came to help fight Soul City. All this was due to the rock-solid alliance between the three inner families.

After the battle, although Ximen Xiaoran led his men to fight desperately and killed a Beast King, he himself was lying down.

After that, he stayed in bed for more than 20 years to recuperate. Although his injuries recovered, he still had many hidden injuries.

Over the next thirty years, he managed to break through level 96.

Then came the Karma Fire Bauhinia Orchid and a large amount of medicine to remove hidden injuries sent by the Chen family.

Yang Chenglin nodded in agreement: "Yes, we both benefited from Brother Zixiu's help."

"However, no matter how much we do, we can't compare to Brother Zixiu's shocking performance. He is about to break through level 99."

Chen Zixiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly like a crescent moon, and said softly: "Brother Xiaoran, Chenglin, we are all family, why should we be so formal? I am just a coincidence."

Ximen Xiaoran pursed his lips, "Stop it, you've always been a bad boy. I just want to know which unlucky person will become the ghost under your sword in the future."

A smile flashed across Yang Chenglin's clear eyes, "Haha, Brother Xiaoran is right, Brother Zixiu is best at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."

Chen Zixiu was very happy. Now they were the only two people with whom he could talk and joke casually.

Their generation is probably the oldest in Douhun City. Fang Yuan and Gui Changhao are both, uh, it’s hard to say for sure if they are from the Gui family.

"The ceremony has begun."

…………

An incense table hangs high on the bluestone platform in the courtyard, and white mist rises from the cauldron as three sacrificial animals are offered.

The voice of Qi Jue Douluo Yang Jingxue was like ice and jade striking each other: "With the stars as my witness, Yang Jingxue now accepts Chen Xinyi as Linglong's granddaughter,..."

Her wide sleeves fluttered, and nine star rays shot out from her fingertips, interweaving into the Big Dipper formation on the dome.

This style was requested by the Chen family, who really did not miss any opportunity to promote Beidou subtly.

Then, she touched the girl's brow with her fingertips, and the Yin-Yang double fish hairpin suddenly turned into golden and silver streams that sank into her skin.

Suddenly, thousands of stars were flying around the hem of the small skirt, and the teardrop-shaped flower pendants in the hair burst into blood-red light.

…Then, there was a series of complicated and solemn ceremonies.

Zhu Yanfeng bent over and held out a gilded sandalwood box. As the yellowed copy of the Yang family genealogy appeared in the daylight, Yang Jingxue had already picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and personally wrote the name "Donghuang Xiuyi" (also known as Chen Xinyi).

When the pen moves, it sounds like the harmonious music of heaven.

Suddenly, the sound of a dragon's roar was heard breaking through the sky, and the three titled swords of the Chen family were unsheathed, rushing straight into the sky with brilliant power.

But Chen Menglin pointed his sword at the Big Dipper, Chen Cong held out nine green lotuses, and Chen Qiujun lightly raised his sword, and a hundred-foot-long cold light broke through the clouds.

Three sword lights rose from the backyard, interweaving into a phoenix emblem in the sky. The aura of the golden swords actually forced the ten-mile flowing clouds to disperse.

Suddenly, a clear cry pierced the clouds, and a swan with a green body circled down from the sky. The magical bird flew around the stage three times, and its wings reflected seven colors of rainbow when it swept across the sun.
