Chapter 294 - 292: Finding the Gu Worm
"Lu Tianxing, I’m sorry for the embarrassing scene."
Seeing Chen Hao leave, Xue Man hurriedly walked forward to lock the door from the inside, then turned back and looked at Lu Tianxing apologetically.
With an unconcerned smile, Lu Tianxing said, "I’m fine. By the way, who is that guy? He seems to really like you."
"Whether he likes me is his business; I have nothing to do with him. He’s just being delusional on his own."
For some reason, Xue Man’s heart became anxious when Lu Tianxing asked about Chen Hao, afraid that Lu Tianxing might misunderstand something, so she quickly explained.
"I understand. Minister Xue, as a friend, let me advise you to keep your distance from that guy. He’s not as nice as he appears to be."
From the moment Chen Hao walked in, Lu Tianxing could tell that there was more to him than met the eye. Although he was polite and courteous while speaking to Xue Man, the greed in the depths of his eyes could not be entirely concealed. This kind of person was a typical pseudo-gentleman, friendly on the surface but possibly ready to backstab you the next moment.
"I’ll be careful."
Xue Man nodded and said, "Lu Tianxing, please check on my mother’s illness first!"
"No problem, let me see how severe your mother’s condition is. Perhaps I won’t even need to trouble my friend; I might be able to cure her myself."
Lu Tianxing gave Xue Man a reassuring smile. If it was indeed an illness, he might have to ask Mandala for help, as Mandala, despite usually researching poisons, also served as a battlefield medic for the Netherworld Mercenary Corps.
