"The young island master sure is extravagant. Just the gift he's given to the fourth madam is made from over a dozen hundred-thousand-year-old heavenly resources as well as a few items that are even more valuable. Their value is unimaginable. I really wonder what the young island master's gift to the patriarch will be …"
"I believe that the value of the present that the Young Island Lord is giving to the Manor Lord is definitely above the value of the first present. Just look at the expressions of the Young Island Lord, the Second Island Lord and the Third Island Lord. I really don't know what the second present will be …"
Many of the esteemed guests gathered in Changyang Prefecture began to whisper among themselves. They began to discuss excitedly. It could be said that just the value of the first gift from Shangguan Aojian had far exceeded what all the peak organisations present could accept. Naturally, everyone paid close attention to the second gift.
Finally, Changyang Ba opened the second box under everyone's anticipation. Immediately, a fist-sized, violet peach appeared before everyone's eyes. It was a Violet Cloud Peach.
The second box did not only contain the Violet Cloud Peach. Beside it was a palm-sized leaf. Aside from that, there were three faintly earthen-yellow crystals that radiated with pure and surging energy from time to time.
"It's a Violet Cloud Peach and a Comprehension Tea Leaf …"
"No, this Violet Cloud Peach is clearly different from the one the young island master took out earlier. Not only is this one slightly larger, but its color is much deeper as well. It's clearly better than the one before …"
"The young island master actually has two Violet Cloud Peaches on him. Heavens, that's enough to make everyone jealous. Violet Cloud Peaches are so precious that even I only ate a small piece in the past. Obtaining a complete Violet Cloud Peach is a luxury, yet the young island master has actually taken out two today. The Heavenly Enchantress sure spoils the young island master …"
"Aside from sovereign Jianchen, no one else in the world possesses a Violet Cloud Peach. I think the young island master's Violet Cloud Peach came from sovereign Jianchen …"
At that moment, over half of the Sainthood experts gathered there looked at Shangguan Aojian with extremely well-hidden jealousy. The Violet Cloud Peach was a treasure that even Saint Emperors desired. Even Origin realm experts could not resist the temptation of the Violet Cloud Peach, let alone Saint Emperors. This was because a single peach was equivalent to several hundred or even several thousand years of cultivation. It was the only treasure that could drastically increase a person's strength in the shortest amount of time possible. Many of the people present did not even have the right to use one, yet Shangguan Aojian had taken out two.
This immediately caused everyone's eyes to turn red with envy.
Changyang Xu, in particular, immediately became extremely jealous when he saw Shangguan Aojian take out two Violet Cloud Peaches and Comprehension Tea Leaves. At the same time, he became more and more dissatisfied with his uncle.
"Uncle sure is biased. The young island master of Three Saint Island is not related to him at all, yet he actually gave him so many Violet Cloud Peaches and Comprehension Tea leaves. What about me? I didn't get a single thing," said Jian Chen. Changyang Xu glared at Shangguan Aojian as if he was about to spit fire. Only now did he suddenly feel like he really was a clown before the young island master of Three Saint Island. In the past few years, he had always been proud of his ability to use ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources as he wished as well as the various battle skills of his clan. His strength and talent made him a peerless genius as well, reaching Great Saint Master at the age of twenty. With the entire world in perspective, the number of people who could achieve this at his age could be counted on one hand. There might not even be someone like him.
Only when the young island master appeared did he suddenly realize that the things he had been so proud of were nothing before the young island master.
"It's uncle. It's all uncle's fault." Changyang Xu placed all the blame on Jianchen. He did not believe that he was any worse than Shangguan Aojian because he was the young master of Changyang Prefecture. His status was great, and he had grown accustomed to his superiority over others. He would never allow himself to be defeated.
"I think everyone is familiar with the Violet Cloud Peaches and Comprehension Tea Leaves. As for the three crystals, I'm sure many of you haven't seen them before. Any one of the three crystals is equivalent to a Class 9 Monster Core, and they're even better than Class 9 Monster Cores. This is a small gift from me to the patriarch. If the patriarch uses the three crystals to cultivate, his strength will increase drastically in a short amount of time. After a few decades, you'll definitely become a Holy Emperor if you consume the Violet Cloud Peaches," Shangguan Aojian said loudly.
"Good! Good! Good! I'll accept the young island master's great gift. Hahaha, this is the most valuable gift I've ever received, "Changyang Ba laughed aloud. He did not act pretentious, closing the box and passing it to Chang Bo.
At the same time, Changyang Xu's eyes lit up. He stared at the box with the Violet Cloud Peaches and made up his mind. He would go ask his grandfather for the Violet Cloud Peaches after the ceremony. He refused to believe that he would lose to the young island master after consuming the Violet Cloud Peaches.
Shangguan Aojian sensed Changyang Xu's gaze and snickered inside. He walked over and said, "Brother, you have to accept your loss. You still owe me a brother."
Changyang Xu's face sank. He coldly stared at Shangguan Aojian and coldly said, "You only defeated me because you consumed the Violet Cloud Peaches. The battle before was not fair at all. I refuse to accept this. I will challenge you again in half a year."
"Alright, then I'll wait for your challenge in half a year." Shangguan Aojian did not take it to heart at all. He turned around and left with that, but after taking a few steps, he seemed to think of something. He looked back at Changyang Xu and snickered, "Brother, you're probably waiting for your uncle to return and give you the Violet Cloud Peaches, right? I'd advise you to give up on that. If you don't change your attitude, your uncle will never nurture you because he doesn't like wastrels."
Changyang Ba glanced at Shangguan Aojian deeply when he heard what Shangguan Aojian had said. He obviously understood that Shangguan Aojian's words were directed at Changyang Xu on the surface, but he was secretly directed at himself.
However, Changyang Ba did not say anything. After witnessing the young island master's performance today, he clearly understood that his only grandson, Changyang Xu, did indeed have a lot of areas that needed to be corrected.
Shangguan Aojian stayed in Changyang Prefecture for a few days. Because he was the young island master of Three Saint Island and the second and third island masters were by his side, he possessed a very great status in Changyang Prefecture. Even a few seniors from the Zu branch had personally come to see the young island master.
Shangguan Aojian was very courteous. He even treated the servants of Changyang Prefecture very politely. When he met a few senior figures, he would greet them without putting on any airs at all, which made everyone in Changyang Prefecture like him very much. Bi Yuntian, in particular, treated Shangguan Aojian like her own son. She was extremely fond of him.
Shangguan Aojian's identity as Jianchen's son had not been exposed, so everyone in Changyang Prefecture was still in the dark. He only referred to himself as the young island master of Three Saint Island.
Shangguan Aojian had learnt a lot about his father's past from Bi Yuntian during his stay in the Changyang clan. Of course, no one else knew about these matters.
A few days later, Shangguan Aojian bid farewell to Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. He left Changyang Prefecture with his two sisters in an extremely low-key manner.
"Xiao Bao, where are you going next?" Xiao Qian asked Shangguan Aojian as they walked along a bustling street in Lore City.
