Chapter 1574: Congratulations from Everywhere (2/2)

The punishment for treason among humans would be killing off anyone related to the criminal within nine generations. The tiger emperor had committed treason against the Winged Tiger God, so by the tradition of magical beasts, that was enough of a reason to wipe out the entire clan.

The tiger emperor was dead now and the Winged Tiger God had never shown any intentions of devastating the Tiger clan, but the patriarch still felt uneasy. He wanted to establish good ties with the Changyang clan. His entire clan paid dearly in gifts now that the opportunity had opened up to them. He had basically gifted away everything valuable in the clan.

“The Ancestral Emperor of the Felicity Empire has arrived with the gift of three Heaven Tier Battle Skills, a Saint Tier cultivation methodand three ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources…”

“The patriarch of the Tiamu clan has arrived with a gift of five ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources…”

“The great elder of the Tyrant’s Blade School has arrived with a gift…”

“The emissary from the Sea Goddess Hall has arrived with a gift…”

People from all four races had gathered here for the ceremony. Although the Sainthood experts from the sea realm were still stuck with their shift in the supreme divine hall, they had sent representatives to congratulate Changyang Ke. The representatives brought rich gifts with them, including countless heavenly resources, battle skills, cultivation methods, and so on. The Changyang clan had obtained an incalculable amount of wealth from this single event.

Changyang Ba and Changyang Ke smiled as they received the many guests. As Changyang Ba’s only grandson, Changyang Ba had always spoiled Changyang Xu, pouring large amounts of effort into his growth. Coupled with his current achievements, Changyang Ba spoiled him even more. Changyang Xu followed Changyang Ba around the ceremony this time, and whenever he would converse with guests of exalted status, he would never forget to introduce Changyang Xu. Pride would flood his face whenever he mentioned Changyang Xu.

Changyang Xu had become a Great Saint Master at the young age of twenty. Even across the entire continent, there was rarely anyone who could match his speed. Coupled with the fact that he was Changyang Ba’s grandson, the guests constantly praised him. Many of the guests brought up the matter of engaging their great-granddaughters, who were of similar age, to him.

Changyang Xu was unable to contain his arrogance from all the praise. He maintained a polite appearance before important people, but he looked down on anyone and everyone around his age. He even looked down on a few hermit clans. As for the engagements, Changyang Xu never took them to heart. With his great background and talent, his tastes had gone overboard. To him, there were many Saint Emperors among the people who proposed marriages, but their great-granddaughters were countless generations away from them. Even they themselves had no idea how many great-granddaughters they had. They maybe had a few, a few dozen, or a few hundred. After all, huge extended families were common for people who had lived thousands of years.

However, he was the only son of the Changyang clan patriarch now. How were any of the plentiful female descendents of large clans worthy of him?

Moreover, the Saint Emperors had all broken through because of his uncle.

“Is he my grandfather? The person beside him should be my uncle, Changyang Ke. Is that young man beside grandfather my younger brother, Changyang Xu?” In the crowd, Shangguan Aojian spotted Changyang Ba, Changyang Ke, and Changyang Xu from afar. He mumbled to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Shangguan Aojian had come to Lore City during his journeys in the past and had heard many matters regarding his father. However, he had never personally seen his grandfather or grandmother.

“That’s right. Xiao Bao, he’s your grandfather, Changyang Ba. However, we’ve only heard things about your uncle from time to time. We’ve never seen him before. After all, he’s maintained too low of a profile,” Xiao Qian smiled while standing beside Shangguan Aojian.

“Xiao Bao, do you want to go and tell your grandfather who you are? Look at the son of your uncle. He’s only just a Great Saint Master, yet your grandfather adores him so much. If your grandfather found out he had such an impressive grandchild, he would probably be absolutely ecstatic,” Xiao Yue said from one side as well. She spoke through a communication technique since she did not wish other people to overhear her.

Shangguan Aojian shook his head, “Father’s not here, nor is mother. If I say that I’m Jian Chen’s son in a situation like this, do you think anyone will believe me? Also, outsiders don’t know about the relationship between my father and mother. I even suspect that my grandfather and grandmother don’t know about their relationship.”

Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue frowned. One of them said with some hesitance, “You’re right. If you go and tell them who you are, not only will no one believe you, but people will laugh and jeer at you.”
