After emerging from the divine hall, Changyang Xu felt like he was about to collapse. This was not the first time he had seen his uncle, but it was the first time he had spoken to him at such a close distance. He had seen his uncle from very far away many times in the past, but he did not feel any pressure. However, when he saw his uncle at such a close distance today, he finally understood just how terrifying his uncle was. Even when his uncle purposefully concealed his presence, he did not even dare to breathe too loudly before him. He did not even dare to mention his original plan of asking his uncle for the Violet Cloud Peaches.
This was not because his uncle was strict, nor was it because his uncle was vicious. Instead, it was because he did not have the courage to do so.
After leaving the divine hall, Changyang Xu's head continued to echo with his uncle's words. He seemed to have lost his mind as he walked around the estate aimlessly. When he raised his head again, he discovered that he had actually returned home unknowingly.
"Xu 'er, did your uncle give you any Violet Cloud Peaches? As far as I know, your uncle is not a stingy person. Back then, he gave away so many to outsiders. As his nephew, no matter how poor you are, you should be able to get a few immortal peaches from your uncle. Quickly, quickly tell me, how many peaches did your uncle give you? " Changyang Xu's mother had been waiting anxiously the entire time. She asked eagerly as soon as Changyang Xu returned home.
Changyang Xu remained rather absent-minded. He sat on a chair absent-mindedly and gently shook his head. He said nothing.
"Xu 'er, didn't your uncle give you any Violet Cloud Peaches?" Changyang Xu's mother's eyes widened as disbelief filled her face. However, she soon became extremely displeased.
"How can your uncle be like this? He gave so many Violet Cloud Peaches to the young island master of Three Saint Island, so how can he treat his nephew like this? After all, your father and uncle are brothers. No … I have to go find your grandfather. Your uncle is treating you like an outsider. No, you're even worse than an outsider." Changyang Xu's mother was furious. She immediately went to find Changyang Ba to complain.
Changyang Xu immediately stopped her and said, "Mother, you can't go find grandfather, and you can't blame uncle either. Uncle is extremely resourceful. Nothing in the world can be hidden from him. He will know." As soon as his uncle was mentioned, uncontainable fear appeared on Changyang Xu's face.
Xie Yan stared at Changyang Xu strangely. She understood her son's feelings extremely well. She had never thought that he would change so drastically as soon as he went to see his uncle. Moreover, he seemed to fear his uncle very much.
"Uncle is right. No expert grows up in a sheltered environment. Mother, I've already made up my mind. I'll be leaving Changyang Prefecture tomorrow morning to train in the outside world. I won't be taking anyone with me this time …"
The next morning, Changyang Xu left Changyang Prefecture to train by himself. Only he knew that his entire soul seemed to have undergone some sort of metamorphosis after listening to his uncle's teachings.
Within the divine hall.
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through space, ignoring the obstructions of the various structures. He looked at Changyang Xu, who had already left Lore City, and nodded slightly. After a moment of thought, Jianchen left the divine hall. He arrived in the forbidden grounds of the back courtyard, where Changyang Ba cultivated.
"Father, this box contains the Violet Cloud Peaches and Comprehension Tea Leaves that I've prepared for Xu 'er. When Xu' er returns from training outside, if he really does change, please give this box to him. Otherwise, keep this box forever. Although Xu 'er is third brother's son, I won't raise a wastrel." Jianchen passed the wooden box with the Violet Cloud Peach and Comprehension Tea Tree to Changyang Ba as he spoke sternly.
Changyang Ba accepted the box and gently sighed, "Us seniors have an unshakable responsibility for Xu 'er's current state. Xiang'er, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Jianchen nodded. He chatted with his parents for a little longer before bidding farewell.
On this day, Jianchen left Changyang Prefecture and arrived at the most bustling city center of Lore City. There was a sizable inn there. The inn might not have been famous on the Tian Yuan Continent, but it possessed an extraordinary status in Lore City and the Kingdom of Gesun.
This was because the inn had always been under the protection of Changyang Prefecture ever since it was founded. The owner of the inn had close ties with Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian, the Old Man's daughter. Not only had she been invited to Changyang Prefecture many times as guests, but as the most authoritative couple in Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian would always lower themselves and visit the owner of the inn with gifts.
It was also because of its relationship with the Changyang clan that the inn had become a place that no one dared to provoke aside from the Changyang clan in Lore City. Even a few hedonistic disciples from hermit clans or even ancient clans would have to erase their arrogance when they stayed in the inn. They would behave themselves and would not dare to act rashly. This was because they would be chased out by the guards of the Changyang clan as soon as they made trouble or began fighting. Many people understood that offending the inn was equivalent to directly offending the Changyang clan. As time went on, many people understood that offending the inn was directly offending the Changyang clan.
Due to the rapid development of Lore City, the number of luxurious inns in the city had increased by quite a bit. This inn was not the largest or most luxurious in the city, but it was the most popular inn in Lore City. This was because the representatives of various powers who came to visit Changyang Prefecture would all choose to stay in this inn without exception.
On this day, the inn welcomed a young man with two swords on his back. As soon as the young man entered the inn, a waiter ran up to him and said apologetically, "Sir, may I ask if you're here to eat or stay? If you're here to stay, then I'm really sorry. Our rooms …" Suddenly, the waiter's words came to an abrupt halt as he stared at Jianchen in disbelief.
Y- you're the sovereign of Jianchen … "The waiter cried out in shock. At that moment, he even wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him. He had actually seen the legendary sovereign of Jianchen with his own eyes. He was no stranger to the sovereign of Jianchen's appearance because he had seen the statue of the sovereign of Jianchen countless times. However, this was the first time he had seen the real person.
There were still quite a few people eating on the first floor of the inn. When the waiter's exclamation rang out, it was clearly heard by quite a few people. The entire inn fell silent, and quite a few people became slightly stunned.
However, everyone soon returned to their senses. They all stood up and bowed to Jianchen. Their faces were filled with excitement, respect, and admiration.
"Fourth young master!"
At this moment, a familiar, old voice rang out. An old woman with white hair walked down the stairs with the support of two female servants. Her face was filled with excitement.
