At this moment, a few luxuriously dressed young men who seemed to be in their twenties had gathered together in a sneaky manner near Shangguan Aojian. They all looked at Shangguan Aojian's group of three through the crowd.
However, their gazes were gathered on Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue most of the time. They all revealed stunned expressions, and there were even traces of infatuation in the eyes of two people.
"Huo Fanyun, Liu Qing, Zhou Shaohua, Ala Duogong. Do you see those two women? They're rare beauties. I never thought I'd come across such good stuff in Changyang Prefecture with my great-grandfather," said a young man in a deep voice. A young man said softly. He wore azure robes and had an elegant appearance. He was extremely handsome, but he seemed slightly frivolous. His gaze towards Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue was filled with infatuation.
"Of course I saw them. Speaking of which, I've played with a lot of beautiful women since I was young. Many of them are not inferior to the two women in front of me. However, compared to the two women in front of me, I always feel that something is missing. Moreover, from the moment I saw these two women, I suddenly felt that all the women I've played with in the past had turned into rouge powder in an instant." Zhou Shaohua patted the fan in his hand and stared at Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue through the occasional gap in the crowd.
"Idiot, that's because the two of them possess an otherworldly presence. They seem like goddesses, filled with a sense of holiness. Even though the women you've played with in the past possessed great beauty, they didn't possess this presence at all," said Liu Qing beside Zhou Shaohua. Liu Qing, who was beside Zhou Shaohua, said. These youths who had gathered together were all disciples of great powers and clans. If they were not from the royal family of the three great empires, they were from ancient aristocratic families. Their statuses were extraordinary.
"And who's that young man? Which organization does he belong to? He actually has two beautiful women by his side. I'm so envious. If I had two women like that serving me, I'd even be willing to give up on the position of crown prince, "said Huo Fanyun. Huo Fanyun said. His gaze towards Shangguan Aojian was filled with envy, as well as some undisguised jealousy.
Aladogon stared at Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue without blinking. His eyes were filled with desire, and saliva was about to drip from the corner of his mouth. He had played with many women in the past, but he had never met anyone with such a temperament. Compared to the two women before him, all the women he had played with in the past were simply plain rouge.
"I have to find a way to take those two women back!" Ala Duogong rubbed his hands together. He liked Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue more and more the more he looked at them. At the same time, he was confident that he possessed the qualifications to do so because he came from an ancient clan and the ancestor of his clan was one of the few Holy Emperors on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Huo Fanyun slapped Ala Duogong's head and scolded him with a smile, "Duogong, why don't you take a look at where you are? We're in Changyang Prefecture, not your Ala clan. It's impossible for those two women to end up in our hands. Let's go tell young master Xu about this. His father is about to become the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, and young master Xu is the only son of the patriarch. At that time, he'll become the young master of Changyang Prefecture. He'll become the patriarch sooner or later, so we should use this opportunity to strengthen our relationship with young master Xu. It'll be extremely beneficial for us when we get to the position of patriarch in the future."
With that, Huo Fanyun pulled out a white piece of jade from his Space Ring. With a squeeze of his hand, the jade was immediately crushed to pieces. Huo Fanyun had already known Changyang Xu for several years. As a member of the imperial family of an empire, he had been influenced by his clan since he was young. He was rather skilled at forming cliques and factions to strengthen his position and expand his influence. For the sake of his future battle for the position of crown prince, he had done everything he could to befriend Changyang Xu. After several years, he had finally managed to establish a relationship with Changyang Xu. Although Changyang Xu had never treated him as a member of the imperial family seriously, Huo Fanyun did not mind. He continued to behave like a yes-man before Changyang Xu. In his opinion, as long as he could cling to Changyang Xu, he would even have enough power to participate in the battle for the throne in the future. He would even be able to emerge victorious in the end.
At this moment, Changyang Xu was following beside Changyang Ba in a grand manner. He constantly asked the representatives of the various large clans and organisations questions. Before these seniors, Changyang Xu seemed extremely obedient. He constantly bowed to them and called them seniors.
At this moment, Changyang Xu's face changed. He had already sensed that one of the twin stones in his Space Ring had shattered. He had given the other one to Huo Fanyun. Huo Fanyun had always been by his side in the past few years. He basically listened to everything Changyang Xu said. Gradually, the prideful Changyang Xu began to acknowledge Huo Fanyun's existence. He even gave him a piece of the twin stone so that he could use it for important matters.
However, although Changyang Xu acknowledged Huo Fanyun, he did not treat Huo Fanyun as a friend. He treated Huo Fanyun as a follower most of the time.
"Why is Huo Fanyun looking for me at a time like this?" Changyang Xu was curious, but he clearly could not leave at a time like this.
Finally, close to noon, the ceremony for handing over the position of patriarch of Changyang Prefecture was about to begin. Changyang Ba and Changyang Ke appeared on the stage as well. Only now did Changyang Xu finally have the time to meet with Huo Fanyun and the others.
As soon as he saw Changyang Xu appear, Huo Fanyun immediately lost his dignity as a member of the imperial family. He greeted Changyang Xu with a wide smile and fawning over him. He told Changyang Xu about the two beauties he had met earlier in detail.
At that moment, let alone Huo Fanyun, even the other members of the large clans and organizations with Huo Fanyun dismissed their arrogance before Changyang Xu. They surrounded Changyang Xu with fawning expressions as well, as if Changyang Xu had become their master at that moment.
Changyang Xu stood there emotionlessly. His sharp gaze would sweep through the surroundings from time to time, giving him a dignified presence. After hearing Huo Fanyun and the others' descriptions, he asked in a rather doubtful tone, "Are the two women really as stunning as you described them to be?" Changyang Xu remained unmoved. He had seen far too many beautiful women, especially in the past few years. Who knew how many large clans and organizations had come to propose marriage. Every single one of them was stunning, but Changyang Xu did not take an interest in them at all. He felt that none of them were worthy of him. Although they were all stunning, he believed that he could get any woman he wanted with his current status and status. He only needed to wave his hand and a large number of them would come to him obediently.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, we'll take you there right now. We definitely won't disappoint you. Only someone like that is worthy of someone like you, young master Xu." The young men immediately led Changyang Xu into the crowd and made their way in Shangguan Aojian's direction.
Along the way, all the guests who blocked the way would nod with a smile when they saw Changyang Xu. They would then move out of the way in an extremely conscientious manner.
Very soon, Changyang Xu found Shangguan Aojian under the lead of the young men. However, when his gaze landed on Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue, he was immediately deeply attracted to them. He was unable to shift his gaze away.
"Young master Xu, how was it? I didn't disappoint you, right?" Huo Fanyun smiled from one side. He knew that his actions this time had greatly increased his status in Changyang Xu's heart when he saw Changyang Xu's expression.
"Good! Good! Good! Huo Fanyun, you really didn't disappoint me this time. " Changyang Xu praised Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue three times in a row. The moment he saw them, he had been deeply enthralled by their otherworldly presence. He had never seen such a presence from any woman before.
Huo Fanyun immediately became overjoyed when he heard Changyang Xu's praise. He could not stop chuckling.
Changyang Xu strode toward Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue. Only Shangguan Aojian was ignored by him.
Shangguan Aojian seemed to sense something as he stood in the crowd. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Changyang Xu, who was making his way over. He could not help but faintly smile.
But very soon, Shangguan Aojian's smile gradually froze. This was because he discovered that Changyang Xu's eyes were fixated on his two sisters.
Changyang Xu arrived before Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue. He clasped his fist at the two of them and said, "Beautiful ladies, I am Changyang Xu. Changyang Ke is my father. I represent the Changyang Prefecture in welcoming the two of you to my father's ceremony."
Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue revealed strange expressions when they heard that. They both looked at Shangguan Aojian and ignored Changyang Xu.
On the other hand, Shangguan Aojian's face darkened. It was as ugly as it could get. A vicious light gradually appeared in his eyes as he looked at Changyang Xu.
Changyang Xu frowned slightly when he saw how Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue ignored him and instead looked at Shangguan Aojian, who he did not take seriously at all. He became displeased. In his opinion, they should have immediately reported their identities and names since he had taken the initiative to befriend them as the young master of the Changyang Prefecture.
"Young master Xu is talking to you. Don't you have ears?" Before Changyang Xu could reply, a young man behind him said with a deep voice. His gaze was very unfriendly.
However, his words angered Shangguan Aojian. Shangguan Aojian's gaze immediately sharpened as he coldly said, "If you dare to say something like that again, I'll cut off your tongue in front of everyone. Even your great-grandfather won't be able to save you then."
The young man immediately shrunk his neck when he heard that. He no longer dared to say anything else. Changyang Prefecture was filled with experts right now. People from all four races had come to congratulate him. He really was afraid that he would accidentally offend a large organization that even his clan could not afford to offend.
Although he was trying to befriend Changyang Xu, he was unwilling to offend another peak organization.
However, the young man before him, who he did not know, was bold enough to say something like that in front of so many people. Without a doubt, he came from a peak organization.
The young men beside Changyang Xu were all intimidated by Shangguan Aojian's words. They all stood behind Changyang Xu obediently. They were unwilling to offend him so easily before they understood his identity. They obviously left the rest to Changyang Xu. After all, he was the young master of the Changyang Prefecture. With his background in the Changyang Prefecture, he did not need to fear any organization in the world.
"Sir, who might you be?" Changyang Xu coldly asked. Although he had guessed that the young man before him possessed an extraordinary identity, he did not take it to heart because he was the young master of the Changyang Prefecture, as well as Changyang Ba's most beloved and only grandson.
"Hmph, I'm your brother!" Shangguan Aojian coldly replied. His face became rather sunken. Originally, he still held a sliver of hope for his younger brother whom he had never seen before, but only now did he realize that his younger brother had disappointed him far too much.
