Chapter 52 - 48 Sword Demon
The child who had fallen into the water was rescued by a maid.
His face pallid with shock, he trembled in fear, his gaze towards Jiang Shouzhong filled with particular dread.
Looking at her trembling son, the woman felt as if her heart was being cut with a knife. Though she harbored deep hatred for Jiang Shouzhong, under her husband’s cautionary look, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her grievances.
The corpulent man had quite the depth of mind. After a brief spell of fear, he regained his composure and respectfully said to Mr. Yan:
"Esteemed senior, I, Luo Xiu, have been negligent in disciplining my disciple, leading to misunderstandings. I will remember your admonitions, senior, and will strictly discipline my son upon returning and will also reflect on my own actions."
He paused, then added, "If senior does not mind, would you honor my humble dwelling with a visit? Though I cannot promise riches, I would certainly not mistreat the senior."
Hearing the words "Luo General," Mr. Yan sighed, "So you are a descendant of General Luo."
The Luo family ancestor was one of the founding heroes of the Dazhou Dynasty and had been granted the title of Lord Wen Yu. Now Luo Xiu, the title’s fifth generation, continued undisturbed.
Although the title remained, its status, reputation, and power had long since declined.
Luo Xiu’s words clearly showed he had noticed Mr. Yan’s extraordinary nature and sought to form a good relationship with him.
