In the martial arts world and on the internet, many people had already begun to condemn Luo Chen.
At this moment, on an early morning flight to Xinzhou, a simply dressed old man with a three-foot-long beard, a broad forehead, and a jade-like face looked imposing even without showing anger.
Two people stood beside the old man. They looked extremely young, but the surging magical power in their bodies was as vast as an ocean. They were at least at the second level of Awakening. However, these two could only stand respectfully behind the old man, their eyes filled with reverence and admiration.
This scene was surprising because anyone in the current world who could become an Awakened, or rather reach the second level of Awakening, was definitely a major figure. Even in the cultivation world, they would be considered quite famous. Yet, at this moment, they were like servants in front of the old man, which directly illustrated the extraordinary identity and status of this elder.
At this moment, the old man was leisurely looking out the window, his thoughts flying.
“Patriarch, does Luo Wuji really have such great potential that it is worth you making this trip in person?” one of the men in a navy blue suit asked.
The patriarch he referred to, who was this old man, had a tremendous background! The old man was named Lu Heshan, and he was the patriarch of the Lu family of Mount Longhu. Among the prominent families in the cultivation world, the Lu family was absolutely a behemoth, completely incomparable to cultivation families like the Yang family, descendants of the Dragon Guardians. One could even say that the Yang family was not even fit to carry the Lu family’s shoes. They could even be said to have more seniority and background than some famous mountains.
This was because the Lu family was also part of the Celestial Masters Mansion of Mount Longhu. More importantly, two members of the Lu family were currently among the presidents of the Cultivators Association. As for Lu Heshan, even Cangsongzi would have to call him senior brother when they met, because Lu Heshan was the successor of the current Grand Celestial Master!
These titles already explained the profound heritage and status of the Lu family in the cultivation world. It could be said that if taken out alone, the Lu family could rival a famous mountain in the current world, not to mention having the Celestial Masters Mansion of Mount Longhu as their backer. The Celestial Masters Mansion naturally needed no further introduction, as it was the ancestral court of Taoism! Its status in the cultivation world was absolutely supreme!
“Hehe, Xiao Jiu, you all think that Luo Wuji’s cultivation has been completely scattered and he is now considered a cripple, right?” Lu Heshan looked at the sea of clouds outside the window and spoke.
“Yes, Patriarch. Let alone his cultivation being completely scattered, even if it were not, I do not think he is worthy of our young miss.”
“Let alone making you come in person…”
“Xiao Jiu!” Lu Heshan’s tone grew heavier.
“I know you have good talent and have followed me to practise the techniques of the Celestial Masters Mansion, learning orthodox mystical arts. It is inevitable that you are arrogant and will naturally look down on independent cultivators like Luo Wuji,” Lu Heshan said slowly.
This Xiao Jiu had followed him since childhood and had extremely high talent. Otherwise, he would not have reached the second level of Awakening at just over two hundred and forty years old, even though he used the pills of the Celestial Masters Mansion. However, it had to be said that achieving such accomplishments at this age was indeed a sign of extraordinary talent.
Coupled with a lifespan longer than ordinary people, he had actually seen many so-called geniuses. After all, being over two hundred years old, he was definitely an old monster. Even in the cultivation world, many people had to call him senior or Ninth Master when they saw him. Therefore, Ninth Master truly looked down on ordinary so-called geniuses.
“But I hope you only say such things in front of me. This is the first time, and also the last time,” Lu Heshan said slowly again.
“That Luo Wuji is definitely not as simple as you see on the surface. So many international giants, many of whom have strength no less than mine, or even higher, could do nothing to him. Do you think this is something an ordinary genius could achieve?” Lu Heshan looked at Xiao Jiu with great interest.
“But Patriarch, was that not because Luo Wuji used some tricks and then…”
“I only ask you one thing. If you are allowed to use any means necessary and face the encirclement and assassination of over a hundred international giants, could you escape?” Lu Heshan spoke again.
These words stunned Xiao Jiu. Although his strength was unparalleled, he asked himself if he faced over a hundred international giants, he would absolutely have no chance of survival. Especially someone like King Kelu. The reason behind the famous sinking of the Titanic was actually related to King Kelu. At that time, the Titanic was transporting a pharaoh’s coffin, and it sank because of a curse. Few people knew that the one sleeping in that coffin was King Kelu!
This was enough to show how terrifying those hundred-plus international giants were. Yet Luo Wuji was still able to return unharmed and even trapped those hundred-plus international giants. This was indeed something Xiao Jiu could not do.
“But must we involve the young miss?” Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
The young miss he referred to was the current daughter of the Lu family, who was still studying abroad in the secular world. If this matter succeeded, then this young miss of the Lu family would have to return from abroad. It was just that the daughter of the Lu family was a famous fairy and goddess in the cultivation world! Countless cultivators from prominent families or famous mountains wanted to pursue this fairy of the Lu family!
“You do not think I want to sacrifice that girl’s happiness for the sake of the family, do you?” Lu Heshan was not angry but smiled and shook his head. He then continued, “If that girl has the good fortune to be with Luo Wuji, it would absolutely be a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes!”
“Alright, we are about to land. Get ready and let us go to the Lu residence.” Lu Heshan watched the plane slowly descend.
Meanwhile, at the Lu residence. What surprised Luo Chen a bit was that Shen Yuelan and even Luo’s father were a bit different today. Shen Yuelan had gotten up very early this morning and was busy directing a large group of hired cleaners to clean the house. In the end, she even personally went to the kitchen and cooked quite a few dishes. Luo’s father, on the other hand, was rarely dressed quite formally.
“I say, Mum, Dad, you are not hiding something from me, are you?” Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at the busy Shen Yuelan.
Luo Chen had keenly noticed that something was amiss.
“What could we be hiding from you?” Shen Yuelan rolled her eyes at Luo Chen.
“No matter how you toss about outside, you at least need to leave an heir for the Lu family. When your dad was your age, he had already ruined quite a few girls,” Shen Yuelan said discontentedly.
Luo’s father, who was originally drinking tea, spat out the water he had just swallowed with a pfft.
“Do not listen to your mother’s nonsense.” Luo’s father waved his hand, wiping his mouth while waving his hand.
But Luo Chen showed a look of doubt. There was definitely something going on today! Otherwise, why would Shen Yuelan divert the topic hundreds of miles away with just one sentence?
Just as Luo Chen was about to speak, the security guard ran in.
“Madam, someone is here to visit!”
