Chapter 784 - Falling Out with the Xiahous
On the third day of his stay at the Xiahous, Jiang Chen finished the last treatment session of acupuncture. Lord Xiahou exhaled a foul breath, looking happy. The depressing feeling in his body was completely gone.
“It’s magic. It’s magic!” he said in an exaggerated tone.
“Lord Xiahou, you’ll be fine as long as you go slowly and step by step in the future,” Jiang Chen said.
“Certainly, Jiang Chen! Today, we should celebrate.”
Jiang Chen had planned to leave as soon as possible, but he couldn’t reject the invitation of a lord. He had to stay.
It was the same long table that they had sat at on his first day there. All of the Xiahou family members were there.
Xiahou Xue was sitting next to Jiang Chen. Her makeup was just perfect. She looked charming and attractive.
“Father, I told you that you shouldn’t rush. You almost married me to a piece of crap of unknown origins,” Lord Xiahou’s daughter said.
“I was wrong about him. People are really cunning nowadays, especially those from the Three Lower Realms,” Lord Xiahou said.
The dinner party ended on a sour note. Lord Xiahou went back to his room, somehow feeling uneasy.
It wasn’t because of guilt, since he was still angry about the energy and kindness he had wasted on Jiang Chen those days. However, he couldn’t relax.
He was thinking again and again about what Jiang Chen had said when he was leaving.
Did he…?
Something suddenly occurred to Lord Xiahou. Panicked, he went to the back room as soon as possible, going through the curved passage that led there.
