Auspicious snowfall foretold a prosperous upcoming year.

When the new year's first heavy snow fluttered down from the sky, He manor was already filled with cries of joys and laughter.

For every person in the manor, the new year held a different significance. The youth, with the addition of another year, matured. The old turned even older. However, the two old men in the He manor were nevertheless quite delighted. Their younger generation had already matured enough to replace them.

Their days of s.h.i.+elding the He manor from wind and rain had gradually come to an end.

And this was perhaps the most cherished wish of all the old men!

”New Year's Skill Compet.i.tion, officially begins&h.e.l.lip;.” Following the vigorous words of the third uncle He Quanyi, the training ground echoed with an ardent applause.

The difference compared to the previous years was that among the younger generation, only one member had attained the sixth layer.

He Yiling- third uncle He Quanyi's eldest daughter. This year she had turned twenty and could be considered as the female expert of the third generation. In ordinary peasant households, the females had already married before this age. However, for cultivators, twenty years was not considered old at all. Instead, it was considered as the beginning of the magnificent youth.

Therefore, when He Yiling ascended the stage, she received the loudest of the reception. Her opponent was He Yihai. Confronting his younger sister's offense, he could only bitterly smile and drag the fight around before issuing a sudden, lucky winning strike. Seeing this, the elders of the family were all beaming with smiles.

Subsequently, He Yixuan and He Yitian appeared on the stage. Their skill seemed to have become increasingly polished.

Under the provocation from a freak like He Yiming, they all had raised the goals they had set for themselves, which, in turn, had increased the combined battle strength of the third generation to a new level.

Although none of them had broken through their respective bottlenecks during the year, their progress had already pleased their elders.

As for He Yiming, when he stood up, all the members on the stage dispersed like a flock of birds. n.o.body would willingly disgrace themselves.

With He Yiming's strength, not mention the younger generation, even if the entire manor swarmed him, he wouldn't have too much trouble.

Seeing this, He Wude and the rest could only bitterly smile and shake their heads. However, inwardly, they were quite pleased.

If the future generation would also be like this, the foundation of He manor would be steadfast for several decades.

During the Skill Compet.i.tion, He Yitian and Cheng Yanli, husband and wife, sat separately from the elders. They could be considered to have settled down as a couple, living in their independent residence.

Within one year they have married, even if they were not too affectionate with each other, at the very least, they exhibited the mutual respect between husband and wife. Their conduct was quite appropriate during the event.

However, He Yiming indistinctly felt that as a married couple, they were too courteous to each other.

Perhaps only after a certain amount of time would they truly accept each other as partners.

However, it was not all perfect.

The only matter they were to be condemned about somewhat was that after one full year of their marriage, the He family had yet to see the appearance of the fourth generation.
