In their exchanged eye contact, one could almost see sparks of swords clashing against knives, filled with animosity and a murderous aura.

Upon seeing this, Xia Xuanmo immediately knew something was amiss. Worried that Kang Chen might lose control, he hurriedly intercepted Mr. Chen, "Mr. Chen, where are you going? You're the host, you can't just take off!"
Kang Chen threw one sentence back, "Please see to the guests for me, I'll be back soon."
And with that, he strode away.
Of course, so did Shen Nie.
