Xiao Yong had never expected to encounter Yang Xiaotian here.
Their eyes met.
After a brief moment of astonishment, a smile gradually appeared on Xiao Yong’s face. He laughed and said, “Boy, this really is a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
As he said that, he stretched out his hand, looking down at Yang Xiaotian, “The Jade Pendant? Hand it over!”
Xiao Yong’s voice was loud.
Many people in the real estate transaction hall looked over.
“Who is this kid who managed to offend His Highness the Crown Prince!”
While the people around whispered among themselves, Yang Xiaotian took out the Jade Pendant. Thinking about what Xiao Yong had said earlier in the Red Moon Forest, Yang Xiaotian said, “Do you think you are worthy of possessing this Jade Pendant?”
“This pendant, if in the hands of an idiot like you, would desecrate its sacred light.”
The people in the hall were all stunned.
Xiao Yong was also taken aback. After the momentary pause, his face darkened like still water, his eyes fixed intently on Yang Xiaotian, “What did you just say, kid?!”
“If you didn’t hear clearly, I can have my people repeat it,” Yang Xiaotian said, ignoring Xiao Yong’s ferocious gaze.
“You’re courting death!” Xiao Yong was furious.
Xiao Yong’s entourage of guards crowded around.
Just then, a mocking voice rang out, “Yo, isn’t that my big brother? You’re quite imposing, brother. Who are you planning to beat up so early in the morning?”
Not far away, a young man who bore some resemblance to Xiao Yong approached with a group of guards.
The newcomer was Xiao Yong’s half-brother, Xiao Jing.
However, the two were siblings with different mothers and had always been at odds.
Upon seeing Xiao Jing, Xiao Yong’s face sank, he said coldly, “Xiao Jing, don’t start trouble for no reason, or else I’ll clean your clock too.”
At these words, Xiao Jing grinned, “I’d like to see how you’d take care of me.”
Xiao Yong’s eyes turned frosty, but at that moment, an Imperial Palace Guard came running from a distance and whispered hurriedly to Xiao Yong. Xiao Yong’s expression fluctuated between dark and light before he finally left with his entourage of guards.
Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Yang Xiaotian, “Kid, you just wait. Sooner or later, I’ll make you realize what happens when you cross me!”
After Xiao Yong had left, Xiao Jing looked at the Jade Pendant in Yang
Xiaotian’s hand and smiled at him, “I am Xiao Jing, the Second Prince of Tiandou. May I know how to address this young brother?”
Yang Xiaotian, feeling the same lack of fondness for the smug Xiao Jing, ignored him and, with Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and others, entered the real estate transaction hall.
Xiao Jing’s smile became stiff.
“Second Highness, you helped the young man out of a tight spot, yet he didn’t even offer a word of thanks and was so rude to you. It’s simply ungrateful!” one of Xiao Jing’s guards said indignantly.
Xiao Jing, however, shook his hand and replied, “Find out which country and family he belongs to. Also, find out if that Dragon-Shaped Jade Pendant he
holds is the Heavenly Dragon Pendant.”
Xiao Yong, Liu Yuan, and others coveted Yang Xiaotian’s Heavenly Dragon Pendant not merely because it belonged to Little Qingxuan.
The Heavenly Dragon Pendant itself was a treasure, providing many benefits to those who cultivated while wearing it.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yong, Liu Yuan, and the others were so fixated on Yang Xiaotian’s Heavenly Dragon Pendant.
After entering the transaction hall, Yang Xiaotian called out the person in charge and then inquired about the houses currently for sale in the Imperial City.
In the end, Yang Xiaotian took a liking to a house near Tiandou Academy.
The house was very large, spreading over ten acres. Everything about it was appealing, but it was expensive, priced at five million gold. Upon hearing the price, He Le and the others clicked their tongues in amazement.
However, Yang Xiaotian directly paid the five million gold and purchased the house.
Xiao Jing had not left yet when he saw Yang Xiaotian pay five million gold on the spot to buy the mansion, and he was shocked.
Actually, the mansion Yang Xiaotian bought had caught the eyes of many, including himself.
But the mansion was too expensive, and after hanging in the property transaction hall for a year, it had never sold.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian spent five million in a single move, Xiao Jing, who had not taken Yang Xiaotian seriously, was filled with surprise and suspicion.
After Yang Xiaotian left the property transaction hall, Xiao Jing’s subordinates reported back the results they had gathered.
“What, he is Yang Xiaotian? Divine Yang from the Divine Sea Country?” Xiao Jing was astonished by the news.
“Yes, he is none other than Yang Xiaotian from Divine Sea Country, known as Divine Yang, ” reported his subordinate respectfully.
Once Yang Xiaotian’s identity was confirmed, Xiao Jing furrowed his brow.
He had not expected this kid to be Yang Xiaotian!
The Heavenly Dragon Pendant was in Yang Xiaotian’s hands.
This was indeed troublesome.
During the Divine Sea Country academy competition, Yang Xiaotian, not even nine years old, had achieved the Martial King Realm, and even Cheng Long, who was at the fifth level of the Martial King realm, was no match for a single punch from him. Such a monstrous talent had even alarmed the elders of Tiandou Academy.
There were rumors that as long as Yang Xiaotian passed the Tiandou Academy assessment, he would be groomed as the next headmaster of Tiandou Academy.
Although these were just rumors, they rarely came out of thin air.
So, knowing that the Heavenly Dragon Pendant was in Yang Xiaotian’s hands, Xiao Jing shook his head and reluctantly abandoned the idea of seizing the Heavenly Dragon Pendant.
Not long after Xiao Jing learned of Yang Xiaotian’s identity, Xiao Yong also became aware of it.
“So it’s him!” Upon knowing the results, Xiao Yong’s eyes grew cold.
Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Xiao Yong, his subordinate hesitated and said, “Your Highness, there are rumors that once Yang Xiaotian enters Tiandou Academy, the academy intends to groom him as the next headmaster, and that his sister is now the personally-taught disciple of the Sect Master of True Dragon Divine Sect.”
Xiao Yong sneered at the words, “They intend to groom him as the next headmaster? He first needs to see if he has the chance to join Tiandou Academy!”
“What of his sister being a personally-taught disciple of the True Dragon Sect Master? My granduncle is the Supreme Elder of the Subduing Dragon Sword
Sect.”
Looking towards the direction of Yang Xiaotian’s newly purchased mansion, Xiao Yong said, “Yang Xiaotian, I want to see if you are as formidable as the rumors say.”
“I hope you don’t disappoint me when the time comes.”
With these words, Xiao Yong released his aura, revealing that he was at the seventh level of the Martial King Realm!
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian, Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and others were taking a tour around their newly bought mansion.
It had to be said that the new mansion, whether in terms of building materials or layout, was much better than Yang Xiaotian’s residence in Divine Sword City.
Yang Xiaotian was very satisfied with this mansion, despite the costly five million gold price, the expenditure was worth it.
Since the purchase procedures were already handled on the spot, Yang Xiaotian and the others moved into the mansion directly.
After moving into the mansion, Yang Xiaotian sent Liu An and a few others out to gather information.
At dusk, Liu An and his group reported back the important news they had gathered.
“Hall Master, there is talk that as long as you pass the Tiandou Academy assessment, the academy’s higher- ups plan to groom you as the next headmaster,” Liu An said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “The Tiandou Academy higher-ups have never even met me, how could they rashly decide to groom me as the next headmaster? It’s definitely a rumor.”
Moreover, the selection of Tiandou Academy’s headmaster would require undergoing rigorous tests, and since he hadn’t even entered Tiandou Academy yet, how could the higher-ups possibly groom him as the next headmaster? Yang Xiaotian said to Liu An, “Find out who is spreading these rumors.”
Spreading such rumors, with malicious intent, clearly aimed to make him the target of many. If the rumors spread, at the time of the assessment, the disciples from the forty-six countries would certainly exclude him, target him, and even unite to attack him.
It seemed someone did not want him to successfully pass the Tiandou
Academy assessment..
