Chapter 781 - The Dowries
The group arrived in the Three Emperor Territory after traveling through the Desolate Forbidden Land. According to the trapezoid theory of the Nine Territories, this area was the central area, next to the Three Middle Realms.
“President, I need to go to the Xiahous.” Jiang Chen didn’t forget about the favor that Venerable Fengyu had asked of him after arriving in the Three Emperor Territory.
Yang Jingchi didn’t stop him when he learned what it was about. He said, “The competition will start in fifteen days in the Heaven Divine City. Don’t be late.”
“No problem.”
Then Yang Jingchi gave him a map of the Three Emperor Territory before parting ways with him. Jiang Chen knew the location of the Xiahous through the map.
The Xiahous weren’t a paramount power in the Three Emperor Territory, but they were almost as powerful as the Jiangs.
The Three Emperor Territory was so spacious and there were so many outstanding people there that it wasn’t easy at all for any force to be the greatest.
“All of these treasures are dowries I’ve prepared for my daughter.”
Lord Xiahou thought it was time. Patting Jiang Chen on his shoulder, he said, “However, over the years, I haven’t seen anyone who deserved my daughter. Most of the young masters of those aristocratic families are dishonorable underneath their veneers, but you’re different.
“As long as you want, the Xiahous will be your support.”
“You mean as long as I say yes, all this will be mine?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Of course,” Lord Xiahou said complacently.
Glancing at the five treasures in the back room, Jiang Chen swallowed his saliva. It would be a lie if he refused to admit he wasn’t tempted, but he would in no way say yes.
“Lord Xiahou, this offer has come so suddenly. Please give me some time to think it over. I’ll give you my answer on the day I leave,” Jiang Chen said.
He wasn’t really going to think it over. It was only out of respect for Lord Xiahou. If he had refused the latter directly, the latter would be embarrassed.
“Of course. Please take your time. After all, you haven’t even met my daughter yet.” Lord Xiahou thought he was afraid his daughter could be ugly. Regarding this, he wasn’t worried at all.
“So, let’s start the treatment,” Jiang Chen said.
“Sure.” It seemed that Lord Xiahou had forgotten about the objective of Jiang Chen’s visit. Not until then did he recall it.
