Chapter 783 - An Evening Secret of the Manor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Chen was wondering what Lord Xiahou would say. However, before Lord Xiahou could say anything, he felt a strong sense of danger.

He found Lord Xiahou was looking at him, as if their eyes had met, when he took a closer look! Jiang Chen held his breath and tensed his muscles, although he didn’t know whether this would help or not.

“Lord, what’s wrong?” Fortunately, the woman extended her fair arm to Lord Xiahou’s chest, so that the latter’s scary face relaxed.

“Nothing.” Lord Xiahou frowned. All he’d had was a feeling. He wasn’t sure about anything.

Jiang Chen felt relieved. He hurried to leave the room, regardless of what they would say about him.

At least I know that I can be detected by great Venerables, Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Since he didn’t know how many great Venerables there were in the manor, he was going to stop.

However, when he was pulling back his vision, he saw a figure flying into the manor from far away. The figure was flying at a slow speed, so there was little disturbance. If Jiang Chen hadn’t happened to be there, he wouldn’t have seen what the figure was doing, either.

That being said, the manor was deployed with a defensive grand formation. However secretly the figure had come, it just wouldn’t work.

So, Jiang Chen wanted to see how things would end up.

To his surprise, the figure suddenly dove down after approaching the manor and started to climb slowly by knocking his or her weapon into the mountain wall. That happened to be the blind point of the manor’s tactical formation.

It didn’t seem like the first time that the person had come here. Knowing the way pretty well, he snuck into the manor smoothly.

He jumped a few times and landed in a pavilion on the top of the mountain. He did nothing special. All he did was check his clothing, patting dust off of himself and fiddling with his hair.

At that moment, the flash of a sword came from the upper beam of the pavilion, aimed at his head. He didn’t do anything, as if he hadn’t sensed it.

Jiang Chen’s position allowed him to see the smile appearing on the man’s face.

The flash of the sword moved away after hitting him and stopped next to him, then a young woman appeared. She was pretty and slim, her skin even whiter than snow.

“Thief, how dare you intrude on the Xiahous territory at night! Do you want to die?” The woman yelled, but at the same time, she was smiling.

“Xue’er.” The man turned around. Regardless of the blade, he pulled the woman into his arms.

The woman pretended to struggle, but she just let herself subdued. With a big sweet smile, she hugged the man.

It’s a secret date. Jiang Chen tumbled to the realization. He was leaving, but at the thought of how the man had called the woman, he took a closer look at the woman’s face and clothing. He decided to watch them a little bit longer.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the woman was Lord Xiahou’s daughter, Xue’er.

So, she isn’t at a crucial moment of practicing. She’s just in love with someone, Jiang Chen thought. He wasn’t angry. He just thought it was interesting.

“I’ve heard. Your father is going to marry you to that guy called Jiang Chen. Is it true?” the man said nervously.

Xiahou Xue nodded. With a reluctant look, she said, “My father said he was the Martial Sovereign’s follower. He came here to give my father medical treatment, and my father wants to take the opportunity to cozy up to him.”

“What do you think, then?” The man knew very well how to deal with women. He simply asked about her opinion without airing his own.

“I certainly don’t want to marry him. I didn’t even go to meet him today.”

“That’s my girl.” The man showed a satisfied smile. Then he added, “Darn that Martial Sovereign’s follower. Who knows whether it’s true or not? Besides, he’s only a follower.”

Jiang Chen was a bit pissed off.

“Yeah. He’s from the Three Lower Realms. Can you imagine what kind of life I’d be living if I was married to him?” Xiahou Xue had a disgusted expression while speaking, like a noble princess who had heard she was going to live with a rustic villager.

“But Xue’er, about this Jiang Chen, I have a favor to ask you,” the man said.

Jiang Chen, who was about to leave, pricked his ears up again. He was sure he didn’t know this guy. He had no idea what the guy wanted to do, either.

“Have you heard about Young Master Wind?” the man asked.

“Yeah, I have. You told me that Young Master Wind had the ancient sword you wanted.”

“Exactly. It’s said that Jiang Chen is Young Master Wind. I did some investigation, and it’s probably true. I want you to help me investigate whether he has the ancient sword or not.”

Seeing that he valued this ancient sword so much, Xiahou Xue felt jealous. She said, “Do you really want me to do that? If I approach him to investigate it, with my father’s matchmaking, aren’t you afraid I’ll go with him?”

“No, I’m not afraid. I trust you. I trust myself, too.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. You’re the current headmaster of the Ancient Sword’s Authentic Sect, aren’t you?” Xiahou Xue rolled her eyes. She looked attractive.

By then, Jiang Chen had realized more or less what tha matter was about. The man was likely one of those the Ancient Sword Sect’s Mistress had mentioned to him.

When the Ancient Sword Sect had been driven into the small desolate land, many disciples didn’t want to go, nor did they want to dissociate from the Ancient Sword Sect. So, they had announced they were the Ancient Sword Sect.

However, this Ancient Sword’s Authentic Sect didn’t have a foothold at all. It wasn’t even exaggerating to describe them as in a state of disunity.

The reason they insisted on staying out of the small desolate land was, besides being disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, they also had other significant identities, like being disciples of aristocratic families. These disciples of the Ancient Sword Authentic Sect certainly wanted to get the ancient sword once they learned its whereabouts.

Jiang Chen was observing this guy’s attainments. He soon came to the conclusion that this guy couldn’t be an average person, although he still didn’t know the latter’s name yet. He was only a Celestial Venerable in the middle stage, but Jiang Chen could tell that he was even stronger than Young Master Shenji.

Well, let’s see how you’ll take my sword away from me.

Jiang Chen wasn’t interested in watching the two make out. He took the Eye of Heaven back. The world he was seeing instantly became normal. He was seeing things with his naked eyes again.

“What a wonderful and strange feeling,” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but exclaim.

The next day, Jiang Chen went to see Lord Xiahou again. The latter was still smiling, warm and generous to him.

Jiang Chen thought of the night before. Although he hadn’t heard the entire conversation, he could still recall the expression on the lord’s face when the latter was speaking.

With that face, he couldn’t have said anything kind. Why would Master be friends with such people? Jiang Chen didn’t understand. In his eyes, the Xiahous were a queer family.

In addition, he also saw Xiahou Xue.

“Young Master Jiang Chen, I’m really sorry that I couldn’t meet you yesterday. Please don’t take it to heart.” Xiahou Xue had the manners that a young lady of an aristocratic family should have.

No one would be angry with such a beautiful lady after such an apology. However, Jiang Chen knew what she was aiming for. He involuntarily felt disgusted with her.

“Young Master Jiang Chen, my daughter is pretty, isn’t she?” Seeing that Jiang Chen’s facial expression wasn’t quite natural, Lord Xiahou thought he was attracted to Xiahou Xue.

“Father, how could you speak like that?” Xiahou Xue stamped her foot, ashamed. Throwing Jiang Chen a glimpse, she lowered her head quickly, blushing.

They really have some great actors and actresses in this family. Jiang Chen felt this from the bottom of his heart.

He was already waiting for the next day so that he could leave as soon as he finished the treatment.
