Chapter 770: Chapter 772: Today, I’m Your Female Companion
“After today, you should be able to rid yourself of these years of troubles.”
Thinking back to Ye Ruoxiang, alone in the world, Xia Liu perhaps should have understood earlier.
Only by acknowledging it herself could she enable that stubborn girl to step out of the shadows.
Regrettably, what he did not know was that the girl had long since discovered the truth, and had been aware of his affairs since returning to her country.
Everything about him, the girls by his side, the developnt of the village, everything.
She did not want to interfere, nor could her heart blend into that world.
The romance should have ended there and be buried in the years gone by.
When Xia Liu returned to the Chen Family, the sky had already darkened.
Without disturbing anyone, he sneaked back to his own room.
That night, he had a full night’s rest again.
When he got up, he found Chen Tian’en, Chen Yan, and so Heaven-Rank Warriors of the Chen Family waiting for him at the door.
It seed that they were ready to begin the ceremony.
After a quick wash, Xia Liu changed into a casual suit; the well-fitted clothes matched with his handso countenance made him look like he could be ranked among the gods of n.
“Chief Xia, the transfer ceremony starts in three hours and there’s so ti to rest,”
Chen Tian’en said as he ca forward upon seeing Xia Liu leave his room.
“Old Master Chen is too courteous, just calling
Xia Liu will do.”
“Hehe, Xia Liu.”
Chen Tian’en unabashedly adopted the familiar address.
Xia Liu’s na was easy to rember, and such an address felt very intimate.
His initiative in letting them address him this way showed that he considered the Chen Family to be his true friends.
“With so many of you waiting at the door for , I feel as if I’m sitting on pins and needles, how could I rest easy?”
Xia Liu said half-jokingly.
“Heh heh, I’m the one who’s being too formal.”
“Don’t say that, as the new Chief of the Heavenly Mansion, I should go there earlier, let’s set off now.”
“Alright, let’s head out now.”
Chen Tian’en clapped his hands in approval; with Xia Liu having this attitude, the future of the Heavenly Mansion looked promising.
Before driving off, Xia Liu used his Divine Sense to scan the area and realized that Chen Yingke, that lass, seed to be absent—this was not her usual style.
“Old Master Chen, isn’t Miss Chen coming along?”
For such an important occasion, Chen Tian’en shouldn’t let his granddaughter stay at ho.
“Err err err, that girl left early in the morning, and I don’t know where she went. Really, how could she behave this way on such a day!”
Chen Yan, upon realizing the situation, imdiately explained.
Old Master Chen Tian’en, sitting in the back with Xia Liu, displayed a brilliant smile on his face.
Xia Liu personally asked about his granddaughter, wondering if there was so spark between them.
If there was, that would be wonderful.
“I understand, today is not particularly special, so no need to worry too much,”
Xia Liu, reading the smile on Old Master Chen’s face, realized the elder had misunderstood him.
Having no choice, he could only say it that way.
Xia Liu did not pursue the matter further, so naturally Chen Yan had nothing more to say.
He had to go to the Heavenly Mansion’s main hall ahead of ti and needed to cooperate fully.
An hour later, a low-key rcedes sedan drove into the headquarters of the Heavenly Mansion.
Normally, the Chief of the Heavenly Mansion would have a motorcade lead the way directly to the destination.
But Xia Liu explicitly requested to keep everything low-profile.
Because of this, they arrived more than half an hour late.
However, this also gave Chen Tian’en and Chen Yan a new appreciation of Xia Liu.
A young man in his twenties being able to behave in such a way demonstrated that his depth and cultivation were of the highest order.
Stepping out of the carriage, a delightful atmosphere floated in the wind.
The scent of wine, the aroma of food, everything was filled with celebration.
As soon as Xia Liu entered a particular branch, he saw Ouyang Lingtian and Ye Xuan.
The two were directing workers to arrange the pathway leading to the main hall.
Opulence was absent, but a refined serenity was fully on display.
“Lingtian, are you also here to work?” Upon seeing Ouyang Lingtian, Xia Liu expressed his confusion.
This fellow was genuinely concerned about him.
“Of course, you are the protagonist today, I would co to help as long as I have breath left in .”
“Will you die if you don’t brag?”
Just when Ouyang Lingtian was full of energy, a plaintive voice floated over gently.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Ye Xuan is an Elder of the Hall of Law Enforcent. Tsk tsk, Lingtian, you’ve really put thought into this.”
Xia Liu could see right through this guy’s righteous deanor.
But he did have a point; Xia Liu had once told him to pursue Ye Xuan with determination.
He hadn’t expected that in his own absence, the man had indeed made an effort.
“Don’t misunderstand, go ahead and wait inside, I’ll make sure you are overturned today!”
Ouyang Lingtian rubbed his head, feeling sowhat guilty but his ability to change the subject was not bad.
“Alright then, let’s see who ends up being supported ho today.”
After a bit of banter, Xia Liu, together with Chen Tian’en, zigzagged their way to the main hall.
Inside the main hall, more than a hundred banquet tables were set up, with a T-shaped stage at the central position, and above it a rosewood Taishi Chair.
The ceiling of the main hall was more than thirty ters above the ground.
Xia Liu was seeing such a majestic hall for the first ti.
The surroundings were adorned with a sense of integrity and transparency.
Even with a frugal ambiance, one could still sense the pressure emanating from above the main hall.
Especially that Taishi Chair, even without anyone beneath it, had a strong appeal, making one unable to resist the desire to sit upon it and command the martial artists of the world.
Xia Liu looked around and then expressed his gratitude to the workers of the Heavenly Mansion who were busy with the decorations.
In front of this newly appointed unimposing Chief of the Heavenly Mansion,
everyone showed their utmost respect.
Of course, their respect was genuine and heartfelt.
On the day of the assessnt, they had all witnessed with their own eyes.
Xia Liu faced two opponents on his own, even slaying a Path-Entering High-Level Warrior.
With such prowess, and his current status, having a conversation with him was already an incredible stroke of luck.
“The ti has co, Yan’er, go outside and beat the drums, indicating to the guests outside to enter.” Seeing that it was about ti, Chen Tian’en gave instructions.
Boom boom boom…
With the resounding drumbeats, Xia Liu’s Divine Sense detected nurous presences entering the range.
As the new Chief of the Heavenly Mansion, he ca out of the main hall, under Chen Tian’en’s lead, to welco the guests who had co to witness today’s ceremony.
The Heavenly Mansion was a sacred and solemn organization; naturally, it couldn’t be trifled with, nor could it be made a subject of individualism.
As representatives of one side, Chen Tian’en, Chen Yan, and Xia Liu greeted each arriving martial artist with laughter.
Before the martial artists arrived, a figure in red arrived first.
She walked towards them, trailing a slightly long gown, taking unfamiliar steps.
Xia Liu and the others were sowhat surprised.
The person in the red gown was none other than Chen Yingke…
With so light makeup on her face, still her natural beauty could not be hidden.
Yet with the addition of rouged lips, she seed even more appealing.
“Chief Xia, I am your companion today…”
Coming to Xia Liu’s side, Chen Yingke elegantly took hold of Xia Liu’s arm, her face beaming with the charming smile that a companion ought to have.
