Wu Chengyu waited patiently for his turn. In addition to triggering rainbows like mist and the number of colors, during the baptism, the child would also manifest a world spirit tattoo. The number of colors in the mist will also determine its grade. Time passed by, it was finally Wu Chengyu’s turn. Bai Cihui suddenly felt nervous when she heard the middle-aged man call Wu Chengyu’s name.
The patriarch’s eyes lit up when he heard Wu Chengyu’s name. Wu Lianggui stretched his neck as his gaze focused on Wu Chengyu who was standing in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked at Wu Chengyu up and down, then waved his hand. An invisible force lifted Wu Chengyu up, and then it carried him towards the barrel. Wu Chengyu fell directly towards the barrel, and he splashed directly towards the water inside the barrel. Once Wu Chengyu’s body came in contact with the water, a faint mist appeared just like what happened to the other baptism. The faint mist entered Wu Chengyu’s body. For a while, the faint mist sipped out and then it dissipated. Suddenly, dark clouds appear above the sky, rapidly engulfing thousands of miles above. The dark clouds were so dark that they literally turned the surroundings black, overshadowing the originally sunny day. Everyone was stunned at the scene, and then they were horrified to see lights and sparks occasionally appear, and it seemed to grow stronger and more frequent as time passed. Just as they were wondering what those lights were, a thunderous sound echoed and a couple of electric sparks crackled, forming a huge arc in the sky. The patriarch's expression suddenly changed as he noticed something weird. He was shocked to see that those electric sparks gathered together, forming a large snake in the sky. Without hesitation, he directly shouted: Every run!
The people around were startled by his shout, but it was too late. Just as the huge lightning snake was about to strike down, it suddenly trembled and dispersed. Everyone saw an unfathomable scene they will never forget. Just as the lightning snake was about to strike, the sky suddenly parted as if it was ripped to shreds by a large hand. Everyone shivered in fright and couldn't get over the scene. After a while, the people finally calmed down, and they turned their focus on the stage below.
The middle-aged man who was just beside the barrel was stunned and blurted out, “What is going on?”
He looked closely at the barrel and precisely at Wu Chengyu. Earlier, he was shocked when he saw the dark clounds in the sky and the frightening lightning snake, but since he was in front of Wu Chengyu's barrel, he saw no reaction from the barrel at all. He was bewildered, but he then focused his attention on the phenomenon in the sky.
The middle-aged man waited for some time but the rainbow mist never appeared. The spectators also started to notice the anomaly. “What happened? That child did not release the same phenomenon as the other children. There is no rainbow mist!” One of the spectators said.
Many spectators started to gossip and wildly shared their speculation. On the barrel, Wu Chengyu was confused as well. “What the hell is going on? Why did the mist suddenly disappear without triggering that colorful mist earlier?”
Wu Chengyu was full of questions about himself, but he was jolted back to reality when he heard the stern shout of the middle-aged man. Wu Chengyu returned to his senses, and then he was pulled out of the barrel. When he was fully exposed to the crowd, he then only noticed the jarring and mocking words of the spectating people. Wu Chengyu feels lost and embarrassed. Without further hesitation, he quickly went down the stage and ran away from the plaza. He did not bother running towards his mother and Aunt because he was afraid that they would also be scorned and mocked by spectators when they saw him with them.
Bai Cihui blankly followed the fading silhouette of his son. She couldn’t believe the outcome and deep inside, she felt sorry for Wu Chengyu. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and then she sobbed and ran towards Wu Chengyu’s direction. Aunt Shuie sighed and followed as well. While Bai Cihui was sad about the result, Wu Lianggui and his wives heaved a sigh of relief.
Wu Lianggui smiled and took a sip of his tea, and then he scouted the patriarch’s area with his eyes. He smiled when he saw the patriarch’s gloomy expression.
“Looks like I was worried about nothing,” he murmured to himself.
At his side, An Rue gave a delightful laugh and mockingly said,“ It turns out that is the right eldest sister.”
The eldest sister she was referring to was Lan Xiaomi. Then An Rue continued, “As it turned out that he was trash, hahaha…”
An Qinger suddenly pinched An Rue’s hips and mumbled fiercely, “Quite down.”
An Rue was startled, but she immediately hid herself behind An Qinger, fearing others might have heard her scorn. Worst if the patriarch heard her.
Wu Chengyu ran like a bullied child. His eyes were red, and his breathing was rapid. He rushed inside his residence and went straight to his room. Wu Chengyu locked the door and stood still. He was trembling, not from illness but out of anger. He could not accept the outcome of the baptism. "Why did this happen!?," Wu Chengyu questioned himself. He saw the lampshade and picked it up. With a mad roar, he hurled the lampshade to wall.
"Bang",
Not enough to vent his anger and disappointment, he went wild and hurled everything he saw inside his room.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
Wu Chengyu screamed.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard and panickily knocked on the door many times.
"Young master! Hurry up and go to your mother. She was slapped by her aunts and fainted. Your father was there but instead of helping your mother, he ordered me to take you out!"
Wu Chengyu went blank upon hearing Aunt Shuie.
