Chapter 782: 782
Before walking out of the back room, Jiang Chen looked around . He said with curiosity, "Lord Xiahou, why don't you have any people guarding such an important place?"
None of the five treasures kept in the secret room was as great as the Jiangs' Sky-burning Evil Flame, but taking any of them outside would still be enough to cause a bloody slaughter . However, there were no guards outside of the back room .
Outside the back room, there was only a passage with thick solid iron walls on both sides . Jiang Chen thought about the way he had come in . He guessed the back room was deep in the mountain .
"Greed blinds us . There could be an inside job around such valuable treasures . It's inevitable . " Lord Xiahou smiled complacently . Pointing at the passage before them, he said, "This passage looks ordinary, but in fact, it's full of tricks . It looked one way when we came here, but when we come here next time, it will present a completely different look . "
When he had finished speaking, Jiang Chen had almost figured out the secret of the passage . People would get lost in there forever without the proper guidance .
A lord who can't even trust his men? Jiang Chen thought involuntarily . And the lord looked quite proud of himself, as if he had seen through human nature . There were all kinds of people in such a big world . Jiang Chen just stopped thinking about it .
The two left the back room and went into a deluxe study . Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown while assessing Lord Xiahou's situation . He said, "Lord Xiahou, your injuries were caused when you broke through to great Venerable . However, you didn't deal with them in time . They've grown worse over time . "
Being a doctor was an important profession, since doctors could detect many secrets of patients' physical conditions . For example, by then, Jiang Chen had seen Lord Xiahou wasn't talented enough at all and shouldn't have broken through to great Venerable in his middle age .
However, as the head of a family, he had to be extraordinary . He had forced himself to break through to great Venerable by pulling himself up . The Xiahous' power had allowed him to achieve it easily .
As for the consequences, just like Jiang Chen had seen, if they didn't resolve the problem as soon as possible, this would be the farthest that Lord Xiahou could achieve .
Not until then did he look intently at the lord of such a big aristocratic family . As a practitioner, he had gained some weight . His protruding belly was obvious under his splendid clothes . He had a handlebar mustache on his kind-looking face that didn't seem very natural . Since he was the lord of the family, he might have wanted to increase his prestige through mustache .
"Young Master Jiang Chen, you saw the root cause!" Very surprised, Lord Xiahou grasped Jiang Chen's arm with effort .
Jiang Chen was struck dumb . It tuned out that the lord hadn't believed him until then . No wonder he hadn't been in a hurry .
"It's a bit tricky . Your problem can't be resolved quickly . I'll treat you with acupuncture in the next three days . You should be fine then," Jiang Chen said .
"Three days?" Lord Xiahou was dumbfounded, since he thought even three months would be too fast . And Jiang Chen had claimed resolving it in three days wasn't quick enough!
"Jiang Chen . . . " Lord Xiahou was quite excited . At the same time, he wanted to act as a matchmaker for his daughter again .
Jiang Chen hurried to change the topic and started the treatment with acupuncture . Lord Xiahou's problem was trivial to him . In addition, it was Venerable Fengyu who had asked for this favor, so he would certainly try to fix it .
Fifteen minutes later, sweating heavily, Jiang Chen was exhausted . With his fast and steady-moving hands, he took out the silver needles on Lord Xiahou's body .
"I feel great . I've never felt so great . " Lord Xiahou's body was smoking, emitting a pungent smell .
"You're a miracle-working doctor . Young Master Jiang Chen, you're absolutely a miracle-working doctor . "
Jiang Chen gave the lord some advice . They agreed on the time of the next day's treatment . Then Jiang Chen told the lord to rest . However, Lord Xiahou was still very energetic . He took Jiang Chen to the best guestroom they had in the manor .
