Shangguan Aojian was confident when he said that. In reality, his father, Jianchen, and Changyang Xu's father were brothers. Shangguan Aojian was a few years older than Changyang Xu, so it was only natural for him to be Changyang Xu's older brother. This was something that could not be doubted.
However, the meaning of Shangguan Aojian's words completely changed when they reached Changyang Xu's ears. They became a provocation, or even a form of humiliation.
Changyang Xu was the young master of Changyang Prefecture. His status was great, and coupled with the fact that he had been extremely arrogant since he was young, how could he tolerate Shangguan Aojian's words that were basically a form of humiliation?
Suddenly, Changyang Xu's entire presence changed. At that moment, he seemed like an unsheathed sword, shining brightly. A powerful presence accompanied him. Of course, this was only in comparison to people of the same age. The presence he gave off as a Great Saint Master was not worth mentioning in the Changyang Prefecture that was filled with experts.
However, Changyang Xu's presence did attract the attention of many people in Changyang Prefecture, but they did not treat it as anything important. In the eyes of the old monsters who had lived for several thousand years, this was just a small quarrel between children. Changyang Ba and Changyang Ke obviously noticed this as well, but they were on the stage right now. Under the gazes of everyone present, they obviously could not interfere with the quarrel between the younger generation.
"Sir, what did you just say? Do you dare to say it again? " Changyang Xu glared at Shangguan Aojian. He had already locked onto Shangguan Aojian's presence. He seemed like he would start fighting at any moment.
Shangguan Aojian stood there leisurely with his arms crossed. His lips curled into a mocking smile, but there was some coldness in his hawk-like eyes. He calmly said, "Brother, you actually dare to threaten your brother. I'm your brother. May I ask what you plan on doing next?" Shangguan Aojian spoke very indifferently, but he gently sighed inside. He had heard about his younger brother long ago. He found him to be extremely impressive for his younger brother to achieve such accomplishments at such a young age. Originally, he still held a sliver of hope for his younger brother whom he had never met before, but after coming to Changyang Prefecture today, Changyang Xu's performance time and time again had left him disappointed.
"Y- how bold of you. I don't care who you are or where you come from. How dare you cause trouble in our Changyang Prefecture and provoke our Changyang Prefecture? I won't let you off so easily today. The dignity of our Changyang Prefecture cannot be violated," Changyang Xu was furious. His face had become extremely sunken as a cold light flickered through it. He had never thought that the young man before him would be so bold. He did not care about his status as the young master of the prefecture at all and dared to step on his head. How could Changyang Xu, who had been pampered since he was young, tolerate this? With a flip of his hand, powerful Saint Force suddenly surged out, quickly condensing into a Saint Weapon in his right hand. He stabbed it toward Shangguan Aojian mercilessly.
Other people in Changyang Prefecture might not have dared to do anything out of fear of Changyang Prefecture's dignity, but Changyang Xu was not afraid. This was because the prefecture lord was his grandfather, and his father was about to become the prefecture lord as well. With how much his grandfather and father spoiled him, he was confident that he would not be punished at all even if he caused any trouble. At most, he would be scolded a little. With the current prestige of Changyang Prefecture, there was nothing that could not be resolved.
Moreover, he knew that all the Holy Emperors in the world still owed his uncle a favor. Even if the young man had the support of a Holy Emperor, the Holy Emperors would not dare to say anything.
Many of the Sainthood experts gathered in the surroundings watched on from the side. None of them planned on interfering because they also felt that Shangguan Aojian had gone a little too far with what he had said. However, there were many people who guessed the identities of Xiao Bao's group. They were actually bold enough to provoke the young master of Changyang Prefecture in public and even shamelessly call themselves Changyang Xu's elder brother.
Although Shangguan Aojian seemed to be slightly older than Changyang Xu, he could not just casually call Changyang Xu his younger brother. After all, the difference in status between the two of them was just too great.
Shangguan Aojian continued to stand there with his arms crossed. He had no intentions of dodging Changyang Xu's attack. However, the moment Changyang Xu stabbed out, Shangguan Aojian's gaze became even colder.
Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue stood there leisurely as well. They looked at Shangguan Aojian and Changyang Xu with interest and would gently chuckle from time to time.
"Xu 'er, don't be rude!"
When Changyang Xu's sword was only three inches away from Shangguan Aojian, a dignified voice rang out. At the same time, the space around Changyang Xu froze, immobilizing him and his Saint Weapon.
Changyang Xu had even used his Saint Weapon. Changyang Ba could no longer ignore the situation like before, so he interfered to stop Changyang Xu.
"Grandfather, let go of me. This brat dares to insult me. I have to properly teach him a lesson today, or I won't be able to accept it," Changyang Xu called out loudly. Changyang Xu said loudly and reluctantly. He did not care at all. His gaze toward Shangguan Aojian was filled with a sense of superiority.
"Xu 'er, shut up. Today is the day of your father's ascension. As your father's son, you don't properly receive your esteemed guest and instead come into conflict with him. What are you doing? Why don't you apologize to the esteemed guest?" Changyang Ba's face sank, and he became stern.
"Grandfather, you have no idea. This ignorant person says he's my elder brother. He's basically insulting me. I'd rather die than apologize to someone like that," Changyang Xu said indignantly. Changyang Xu said angrily before turning his head to the side. He acted like he would rather die than apologize.
Changyang Ba felt helpless when he saw how Changyang Xu was behaving. As his only grandson, Changyang Xu had become the apple of his eye long ago. He had taken good care of him since he was young, so he could not beat him or scold him. If Changyang Xu really did become angry, he really would not be able to handle it as his grandfather.
With no other choice, Changyang Ba could only clasp his fist towards Shangguan Aojian, Xiao Qian, and Xiao Yue. He said rather apologetically, "My friends, I really am sorry. Xu 'er is naughty, so it's all our fault for not disciplining him properly. If he has offended you in any way, please forgive him. Oh right, may I ask where the three of you have come from? Once the ceremony is over, I will definitely get Ke 'er to personally come and apologize with great gifts. "
"The patriarch is too polite. I am Xiao Qian from Three Saint Island. Greetings to the patriarch!"
"I am Xiao Yue from Three Saint Island. Greetings to the patriarch!"
Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue both clasped their hands towards Changyang Ba. They were extremely polite.
"I am Shangguan Aojian from Three Saint Island. Greetings to the patriarch!" Shangguan Aojian also clasped his hands towards Changyang Ba before bowing deeply. He was not bowing to the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, but to his grandfather.
"Three Saint Island. They're actually from Three Saint Island …"
"I've heard of Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue. Aren't they the second and third island masters of Three Saint Island? I never thought that the two of them would actually be the second and third island masters of Three Saint Island. That's quite an impressive identity … "
"It's said that the Heavenly Enchantress is the first island master of Three Saint Island. The second and third island masters are her disciples. Heavens, these two women are actually the disciples of sovereigns. No wonder they don't fear Changyang Prefecture …"
"I never thought that even the two disciples of a sovereign would come to Changyang Ke's coronation ceremony …"
As the identities of Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue were revealed, it immediately caused quite a stir in Changyang Prefecture. At that moment, everyone's gazes toward the three of them changed. They were filled with envy.
All the experts of the four races had already learned about Three Saint Island because the first island master, the Heavenly Enchantress, was an Origin realm expert. Moreover, the Heavenly Enchantress had used her zither to control five Origin realm experts during the battle against the World of Forsaken Saints, which had shocked everyone.
In the eyes of Sainthood experts, the Origin realm experts were already sovereigns. They were unreachable, yet the Heavenly Enchantress was able to control the minds of five sovereigns. It was just too terrifying.
Changyang Ba was surprised as well, but he soon began to laugh aloud. He walked off the stage with Changyang Ke and personally went to receive them. He smiled, "So it's the second and third island masters of Three Saint Island. Please forgive me for not coming out to receive you. Speaking of which, Three Saint Island isn't really an outsider to our Changyang Prefecture. I've heard Xiang'er mention Three Saint Island a lot in the past, and Xiang'er seems to have spent some time on Three Saint Island as well. "
"Hehehe, the patriarch is right. Young master Jianchen really did spend quite some time on Three Saint Island in the past," Xiao Qian giggled. Xiao Qian smiled. She glanced at Shangguan Aojian and seemed to be deep in thought. Afterward, she pointed at him and said, "Patriarch, this is the young island master of our Three Saint Island."
"Young island master!" Changyang Ba was surprised once again. He could not help but take a good look at Shangguan Aojian. However, a strange feeling appeared in his heart from that glance. Suddenly, he found the young man to be more and more pleasing to the eye. He liked him more and more the more he looked at him.
The surrounding guests were all shocked when they learned that Shangguan Aojian was the young island master of Three Saint Island. This identity was no small matter. It was on par with Changyang Xu's status in Changyang Prefecture. He was most likely the successor of the Heavenly Enchantress.
Everyone understood now. Shangguan Aojian was the young island master of Three Saint Island. As the young master of Changyang Prefecture, it was only natural that he was the older brother of Changyang Xu. After all, Shangguan Aojian's status was no lower than Changyang Xu's, and he was clearly a few years older than Changyang Xu.
"Hmph, the young island master of Three Saint Island is just a title. If it weren't for my grandfather, I would have injured you already," Changyang Xu said. He still did not treat Shangguan Aojian seriously.
Changyang Ba's face suddenly sank. Just when he was about to reprimand Changyang Xu, Shangguan Aojian's voice rang out first, "Brother, you can't be too proud as a person, nor can you look down on others. You need to know that there is always someone better than you. You may have some accomplishments now, but they were all brought to you by your uncle."
"Hmph, Shangguan Aojian, even if you're the young island master of Three Saint Island, you have no right to ride on my head. I obviously know that there is always someone better than me. At my age, I am the one who is better than you. I am the one who is better than you. Not to mention that you can't even receive a single strike from me as the young island master. In this world, the weak will never have the right to speak. " Changyang Xu was extremely conceited. He firmly believed that he would have injured the young island master if it were not for his grandfather.
