章 40: Chapter Thirty-Seven: Knocking

Although Xu Yuan had seemingly been getting along well with Zhou Chen these days, with Zhou Chen readily answering any questions about cultivation, Xu Yuan knew deep down Zhou Chen still looked down on him.

It showed in many small ways.

He would address him as 'Third Young Master,' yet, as a bodyguard, he entered Xu Yuan's room without ever knocking.

When they spoke, Zhou Chen never bothered to hide the smell of alcohol on his breath,

and there was even one time, out of curiosity about the construction of top-tier treasures like the Sumeru Ring, Zhou Chen had the audacity to ask if he could borrow it from Xu Yuan to study it.

Zhou Chen said he just wanted to study it and wouldn't dare to keep it for himself.

After all, Xu Changge knew that Xu Yuan possessed the Sumeru Ring.

If Zhou Chen dared to keep it, he would have to die.

But the problem was that the Sumeru Ring was a private treasure, containing all sorts of personal belongings.
