Chapter 505 - The Jiang Manor (2/2)
…
Three days later, Xiao Chen finally woke up. In a daze, he opened his eyes and found himself lying on an exquisite wooden bed. The layout of the room was also excellent. Two pots of orchids were placed on the windowsill, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.
Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead. “This should be the Jiang Manor, right?” He sat up from the bed and thought, “In the end, I sent Jiang Qianqian down that day. Then she must have landed first, which means that I won eventually. So, the million Spirit Stones should belong to me now, right?”
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt very happy in his heart, and hence he was not so courteous. He walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea. The teapot was still hot. Obviously, someone had just changed it.
“The Jiang family is really rich. I am also a City Master. Why do I still live in poverty?” Xiao Chen looked up and down this exquisite guest room while drinking his tea. Even the curtains in this room were made of fine silks and purple agates.
Finally, Xiao Chen rubbed his left shoulder again. It seemed that his arm was fine again. Then, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. A woman’s cold voice followed. “You, stop! You! Go to see if the miser has woken up!”
Xiao Chen frowned. “It is Jiang Qianqian.” Then, he heard the timid voice of another woman. “Ah? But Miss… master doesn’t allow us to enter Young Master Xiao’s courtyard… Or, Miss, you can…”
“I ask you to go, and then you go! My father even asked me to thank him in person. What a fantastic idea! Once the miser is in my sight, I’ll be annoyed!”
“Oh, okay…”
Xiao Chen unfolded his eyebrows and smiled. He slowly walked to the door. “Squeak!” The door opened just as the maid came over to knock on it. Seeing that the door opened by itself, she was greatly shocked and retreated. But when she looked up and saw that it was Xiao Chen, she muttered, “Master… Master Xiao, you’re awake. Miss… Miss Jiang wants me to…”
Xiao Chen faced the sun and stretched lazily. He smiled and said, “I’m all right. Thanks to someone, I survived.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qianqian had already appeared at the door of the courtyard. She looked at him coldly and said, “If everything is okay, get out of here quickly. Don’t hang on to my home!”
“Miss, why are you so rude? I saved your life that day. It’s OK if you don’t want to thank me, but how can you drive me away?”
Xiao Chen would definitely say that if it was in the past when he first came to the Violet Manor. But now, Xiao Chen just looked at her with a smile. Then he lazily stretched himself and yawned, “I’ll go to get my Spirit Stones, a million Spirit Stones!”
“You!” Jiang Qianqian was so angry that she gnashed her white teeth. If it weren’t for him, how could she lose? Although she also got an offer of the Cloud Mist Academy, she didn’t win it by winning the first place of the Sword Tryout. It made her felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. But by contrast, Xiao Chen participated in the Sword Tryout only to win the million Spirit Stones. In this case, she felt like she had eaten two flies in a row.
The more Jiang Qianqian thought about it, the angrier she became. With a clanging sound, she pulled out the sword hanging by her waist and stabbed at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen smiled faintly. After putting his right hand behind his back, he put the two fingers of his left hand together. “Clank!” He clamped her long sword that was thrusting at him.
“You!” Jiang Qianqian gritted her teeth. Xiao Chen’s cultivation was brought down, so they were somewhat on a par when they were in the Fighting Platform. Now, she was certainly no match for Xiao Chen. The sword seemed to be stuck between Xiao Chen’s two fingers. She couldn’t pull it out or send it in to stab him.
The maid next to him was so scared that her face had already turned pale. Xiao Chen smiled gently and deliberately tilted his left hand to one side. As a result, Jiang Qianqian was pulled a little aside. Then Xiao Chen returned to the middle, and so Jiang Qianqian was immediately brought back to the middle.
“You! You…” Jiang Qianqian was so angry that she could not speak. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “Well, Miss Jiang, I have to get my Spirit Stones, so I won’t play with you.” Then, he let go of the sword and Jiang Qianqian immediately stepped back a few steps.
“I’ll kill you!” Jiang Qianqian broke into a furious rage. She swung her sword at his left arm, vigorously to the extreme. In an instant, she formed a three-foot-long sword radiance. Xiao Chen smiled lightly, pressing his fingers together and flicking in the direction of her sword. However, at this moment, his left arm suddenly became numb and he couldn’t exert any strength.
The sword was about to cut off his arm in a split-second. But suddenly, a cold light came from outside the courtyard. “Clank!” Jiang Qianqian’s sword was pushed away a little. “Poom!” A stone table next to her was directly smashed.
A figure appeared in a flash. It was Chu Qi who hurried over.
“Master.” She called out.
Xiao Chen had hardly recovered from the shock and looked at his left shoulder. It seemed that everything was fine now. “What happened just now? And what happened on the Fighting Platform that day? What happened to my left arm? Didn’t Sister Bai reattach it for me last time?”
“I’m fine.” After a while, Xiao Chen calmed down and looked at Jiang Qianqian. Then he walked out of the courtyard. Chu Qi followed him closely and asked in a low voice, “Are we going to meet City Master Jiang now?”
“Of course I’ll go to see him. He still owes me a million Spirit Stones! He can never expect to send me away just by a daughter of him! But if he sends two of his daughters to me, I can think about that.” Xiao Chen deliberately looked at the inside of the yard. After that, he laughed loudly and swaggered off with his hands behind his back.
“A shameless man…” Jiang Qianqian gnashed her teeth with anger, her chest rising and falling constantly. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had never been humiliated like this. She swore that she must improve her cultivation as soon as possible and teach this person a good lesson.
