Old Ye, this tree looks like it has several hundred years of age, right? Su Lingchu pointed at a towering ancient tree with roots sprawling horizontally and said.
Ye Zhengtian also felt puzzled inside. He had visited Panlong Bay before, so how had it changed so much now?
At this moment it felt as if the place nestled against mountains and water, with green grass everywhere. Even the air seemed pure and fresh, without the slightest impurity.
This place is really good. Look how vividly those flowers are blooming! Just from that alone I am growing more and more eager to meet the young friend you mentioned. A look of anticipation appeared on Su Lingchu’s face.
Feilong, listening from the side, secretly felt astonished. Who would have thought that this old leader, not only held extremely high status and position, but also had a notoriously bad temper and an眼光 as lofty as high mountains? He rarely gave such high praise to anyone.
After entering, Luo Chen set out a pot of tea on the green grass under a large tree, placed several cups, then sat cross-legged to receive Su Lingchu.
Actually during the earlier greetings Su Lingchu had already secretly observed Luo Chen. Although Ye Zhengtian had told him some things in advance, when he saw Luo Chen in person Su Lingchu still felt quietly surprised.
Su Lingchu had spent a lifetime in the military and held high position. In truth he had met quite a few extraordinary people and strange figures.
Yet this was the first time he had seen someone so young with such a distinctly different aura. Luo Chen gave him the feeling that a primordial ferocious beast lay hidden within his body.
He had felt this sensation only once before, last year on the body of the掌门 of the Baji Sect, Feng Tianlei. Su Lingchu could not help but feel deep respect for Luo Chen inwardly.
Mister Luo really knows how to enjoy life. Hosting guests under the shade of trees has its own unique charm! Su Lingchu did not stand on ceremony. He picked up a cup of tea and savoured it slowly.
You flatter me. Luo Chen nodded slightly.
Mister Luo, please do not misunderstand. To be honest, I am a rough man. I grew up in the countryside from childhood, so I have a natural fondness for nature. Seeing Mister Luo’s place like an earthly paradise, as if immersed in nature itself, I truly like it very much.
I say Mister Luo, I have been to Panlong Bay before. How has it changed so much? Ye Zhengtian also felt the spiritual charm here was ethereal. At this moment several larks even flew down and pecked at food beside them, showing no fear of people at all. This made them feel even more amazed.
Everything here felt too natural. If not for the rows of high-rise buildings everyone would think this was truly untouched nature, with no trace of human intervention visible at all.
Hehe, Mister Luo, how much is your house per square metre? Su Lingchu asked with interest, though he was only curious and not seriously intending to buy a unit here.
Ten thousand. Luo Chen said very calmly.
Ten thousand? Even Ye Zhengtian nearly spat out his tea.
Even he felt this price was expensive, or rather the price itself was unreasonable.
Whether something is expensive depends on its value. If it is worth the price then it is not expensive. If not then it is asking for the moon.
Clearly even though this place resembled an earthly paradise, ten thousand per square metre was still expensive, and not just a little.
After all this was not in the city centre. Although the environment was nice it truly did not justify that price.
Shall I take you for a tour? Luo Chen asked inquiringly.
Oh? Is there something even more special? Su Lingchu could not help feeling curious.
Even Ye Zhengtian was extremely curious. After all he did not think Luo Chen was the kind of person without sense. If he dared ask ten thousand then there must be something special here.
Of course there was something special.
Luo Chen led the few toward the north side. The north and south were divided by a large Taiji diagram as the boundary.
The north side at first glance seemed nothing special. But the moment they stepped across that Taiji line the few were completely shocked.
This, this, what exactly is this? Su Lingchu was speechless.
Ye Zhengtian’s eyes widened greatly. For a moment he too said nothing.
Feilong was the same. The scene before them was simply too shocking, or rather it felt like a divine miracle.
Is all of this real? Su Lingchu stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake. Before him everything was wrapped in silver, pure white snow everywhere. The accumulated snow was a full foot thick. Everything here was buried under heavy snow.
When Su Lingchu turned back even the south side they had just come from was now covered in snow. The large tree where they had sat moments ago now wore a thick layer of snow.
What exactly is this? Ye Zhengtian exclaimed in a lost voice. Suddenly he felt his mouth go dry.
Hehe, you can understand it as high technology. As for the rest it is inconvenient to reveal more. Luo Chen’s meaning was clear. You can guess in other directions, such as science.
But everyone understood this was not science. It was a realm they did not know or could not access.
I always thought some things were merely legends. Only today do I realise my own experience has been too shallow. This trip has not been in vain. Mister Luo has truly opened our eyes. Su Lingchu laughed.
I want two units. I will have someone transfer the money to Mister Luo’s account immediately. Ye Zhengtian was so excited he could hardly contain himself. He wanted to secure two units right away.
After seeing this would anyone still say ten thousand was expensive?
It was not expensive at all. It was simply too cheap.
From what they saw now this was absolutely priceless, a treasure without a market price!
Just consider that it was the height of summer heat right now, yet here heavy snow was falling. That alone made it worth far more than ten thousand per square metre.
Mister Luo, wait a moment. I will make a call to borrow money. Su Lingchu was also moved. After all he was from Yanjing, yet now even he felt tempted.
Weren’t you two just saying it was expensive? Luo Chen looked at the two with a half-smile.
Expensive? This is expensive? Where is it expensive? This is too cheap. The two spoke almost in unison.
Alright, shall we get to the main matter? Luo Chen smiled.
This time we still wish to ask Mister Luo to take action. Su Lingchu straightened his expression and spoke.
…
So that is how it all happened.
After a long while Su Lingchu let out a sigh.
Just now Luo Chen had explained the whole sequence of events to Su Lingchu.
To be honest, Mister Luo, even if I had not come here personally to see you, and had not witnessed such heaven-defying skills from you, just from what Old Ye told me I already had a judgement about you in my heart.
No wonder. With Mister Luo’s status and identity, not pursuing them further shows your temper and character are already very good. Su Lingchu was not speaking falsely.
After all Luo Chen’s strength was there for all to see. Yet Liu Quan’s actions had been utterly foolish. The fact that Luo Chen had not directly flared up and killed Liu Quan was already giving considerable face.
With that level of strength on the other side, to still dare act so arrogantly, one could only say his brain had been kicked by a donkey.
Mister Luo, to speak frankly, this matter was also not handled well on our side. For the offence given to Mister Luo, I, Su, apologise to you. Su Lingchu cupped his fists. Since Luo Chen was considered a person of the martial world, Su Lingchu followed martial world etiquette.
