Chapter 1580: Departure (2/2)
“I think everyone is familiar with the Violet Cloud Peach and Comprehension Tea Leaf, but I don’t think you’ve seen the three crystals. Any single of the crystals are equivalent to Class 9 Monster Cores, but they're even better. These are my small gifts to the patriarch. If the patriarch uses the three crystals to cultivate, your strength will increase drastically in a very short amount of time. You can ingest the Violet Cloud Peach after several decades and you’ll become a Saint Emperor for sure,” Shangguan Aojian said loudly.
“Good! Good! Good! I’ll accept the great gifts from the young island master then. Hahaha, these are the most valuable gifts I have ever received in my life.” Changyang Ba laughed aloud and did not try to turn them down. He put the lid back on and passed it to uncle Chang.
At the same time, Changyang Xu’s eyes lit up. He had already made up his mind while staring at the box with the Violet Cloud Peach. After the ceremony ended, he would go and find his grandfather and request the immortal peach. He refused to believe that he was unable to defeat the young island master after eating the peach.
Shangguan Aojian noticed Changyang Xu’s gaze. He sniggered inside and walked over. He said, “Brother, you’ve lost. You still have to call me elder brother.”
Changyang Xu’s face sank. He coldly stared at Shangguan Aojian and frigidly said, “You’ve only won because you’ve eaten a Violet Cloud Peach. The fight between us was unfair, so I’m not going to admit defeat. I’ll challenge you again in half a year’s time”
“Alright, then I’ll be waiting for your challenge.” Shangguan Aojian did not take the matter to heart. He turned around and left after saying that, but he seemed to think of something after taking a few steps. He turned around and chuckled at Changyang Xu, “Brother, you’re probably waiting for your uncle to return and give you Violet Cloud Peaches, right? I’d advise you to give up on that thought. If you don’t change your mindset, your uncle will never support you because your uncle dislikes wastrels.”
Changyang Ba glanced at Shangguan Aojian with deep meaning when he heard that. He clearly understood that Shangguan Aojian’s words were for him despite the fact that Shangguan Aojian was speaking to Changyang Xu.
However, Changyang Ba said nothing. He had clearly noticed that his only grandson really did have a few places that needed improvement after seeing the behavior of the young island master of Three Saint Island.
Shangguan Aojian remained a few days longer at the Changyang clan. Because of his identity as the young island master of Three Saint Island and since he was accompanied by Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue, he possessed a very great status in the Changyang clan. Even the ancestors from the Zu branch personally came out to greet him.
Shangguan Aojian was very polite, even treating the servants of the clan with great courtesy. When he saw senior members of the clan, he would bow to them as a junior without putting on any airs, so all the people in the clan took a great liking to the young island master. Bi Yuntian, in particular, treated Shangguan Aojian like her own relative. She liked him very much.
Shangguan Aojian did not reveal that he was Jian Chen’s son, so all of the people in the clan still had no clue. He only moved about as the young island master of Three Saint Island.
While he stayed at the Changyang clan, Shangguan Aojian learned many things about his father’s past. Of course, no one else knew that Bi Yuntian was telling him all these things.
Several days later, Shangguan Aojian bid farewell to Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. He left the Changyang clan with his two sisters while maintaining a low profile.
“Xiao Bao, where do you want to go next?” Xiao Qian asked Shangguan Aojian while walking down a busy street in Lore City.
“I want to go visit the Huayun sect and see their sect master, Cheng Mingxiang…”
