Yesterday was the coming-of-age ceremony for the eldest son of the Xiao family. Logically speaking, Xiao Hechuan has been exceptionally talented since childhood, and this coming-of-age ceremony should have enabled him to summon a powerful companion beast.
But after midnight, the once bustling scene suddenly changed.
Or rather, it's not that things have changed, but rather that the spotlight has shifted to someone else.
No one expected that Xiao An, who was merely the son of a servant, could summon the Lion King.
However, the son on whom the Xiao family head placed high hopes proved to be incapable of shouldering the responsibility.
——
"Young Master, look at them!" Xiao Bai stormed back from outside. "How can they be so quick to change their tune!"
The kitchen hadn't sent breakfast yet, so he went out and didn't bring it back. He was furious though!
Xiao Hechuan was drawing on the paper with his head down. With a few light strokes, a pair of captivating eyes appeared on the paper.
Looking at the painting before him, the man with the cold and stern expression frowned slightly and casually erased it with a few strokes.
"Ignore them."
Xiao Bai hesitated, then asked, "Should we go find the head of the family?"
It's only been two days, and the kitchen already dares to stop sending meals. Won't they get even worse in the future?
He knew the principle that people should strive for higher positions, but those people were so quick to change their tune that he hadn't even had time to react.
No one expected that the eldest son, on whom the family head had placed high hopes, would fail to summon anything during his coming-of-age ceremony.
Even Xiao Bai himself didn't expect that, given that the young master's spiritual power was so strong, how could he have nothing?
In just one night, everything seems to have changed.
Even the patriarch only sent someone to inquire yesterday, and hasn't come to see him since. But even if the young master hasn't summoned his companion beast, he's still the patriarch's son.
Xiao Hechuan shook his head and said coldly, "He won't come."
"You can go out first. I want to be alone for a while."
"Okay." Xiao Bai nodded in agreement.
Indeed, after such a thing happened, the young master must be feeling bad.
After the study door was closed, Xiao Hechuan continued to paint, but he was not satisfied with any of the paintings.
A strange fragrance suddenly filled the air. The man's hand holding the pen paused slightly, then he continued writing as if nothing had happened.
"They're not feeding you anymore, and you still don't believe what I'm saying?"
A charming voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the man turned around sharply, his eyes meeting a pair of smiling eyes.
Xiao Hechuan subconsciously lowered his eyes, but suddenly a white figure appeared in his vision.
He looked away in a flustered manner, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Liu Yin sat on his lap, leaning against him coquettishly, her voice soft and charming, "But you already saw it last night, so what's wrong with seeing it again now?"
She said this with obvious doubt in her tone.
Xiao Hechuan looked down at her face and replied in a deep voice, "That's different."
Last night it happened suddenly, but today she's still wearing his clothes and walking around in front of him, looking disheveled.
"But you still haven't answered my question. Now you should believe me, right?"
Liu Yin gently poked his chest through his clothes, "Master, please trust me."
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Don't call me that," Xiao Hechuan coldly refused. "As for whether you believe me or not, I have my own judgment."
Liu Yin raised an eyebrow and smiled, not arguing with him about it. "You didn't tell me your name, so if I don't call you master, what should I call you?"
"Xiao Hechuan".
“Then, Brother Achuan.”
