This time, all of them were completely terrified.
“Weren’t you just upstairs?” Xu Shuiyao was also trembling with fear.
Two receptionists?
One upstairs, one downstairs?
“Still want to stay?” Luo Chen gave a cold smile.
He had warned this group of people earlier, but they simply would not listen.
Du Dong was so frightened that he wet his trousers, and the two girls ran out swiftly.
At this moment, the receptionist stood up, seemingly about to give chase, but Luo Chen turned his head and glared at the receptionist.
The receptionist hesitated for a moment, then finally sat back down.
Then Luo Chen strode out of the inn, got into the car, and drove away.
If Luo Chen had not been there to keep things under control today, not a single one of them would have made it out alive.
Even after returning to the car, the group was still trembling.
“Let me drive,” Luo Chen said, seeing Xu Shuiyao shivering. He had her sit in the passenger seat.
Then Luo Chen started the car and drove towards Lake Rakshastal.
It was not until noon the next day that Xu Shuiyao took over driving from Luo Chen. They found a place to eat a meal, and only then did everyone finally come to their senses.
However, they completely avoided mentioning what had happened the previous night.
Xu Shuiyao felt a wave of regret. If only she had listened to Luo Chen earlier, she would not have been so terrified.
However, at this moment, Du Dong began to find Luo Chen more and more disagreeable.
This was because he had wet himself in fear the previous night, which was utterly embarrassing.
Moreover, it had happened in front of two women, whereas Luo Chen had remained calm throughout the entire ordeal.
In an attempt to lighten the mood, the group began talking about the upcoming Lotus Festival again.
“The Great Master Labu Yangzong holds a highly respected position. It is said that he will also attend the Lotus Festival this time. We should seek a peace talisman from him then,” Xu Shuiyao said.
“But it is said that the Great Master Labu Yangzong is not someone you can easily approach. To be honest, I once knew a big shot who ran a multinational business, but even he did not have the standing to make a request of Labu Yangzong,” Du Dong also spoke up.
However, Luo Chen seemed uninterested.
“Luo Chen, will you go as well?” When Xu Shuiyao asked this, she meant whether Luo Chen wanted to go and make a request too.
But Luo Chen shook his head.
“I am going to cause him trouble,” Luo Chen said indifferently.
“Tch!” Feng Xin scoffed disdainfully.
“Luo Chen, you must never say that here,” Xu Shuiyao turned pale with fright upon hearing Luo Chen’s words.
This was because they were currently sitting in a Tibetan family’s restaurant.
If the locals heard such words, they would not be able to leave that day.
“The Great Master Labu Yangzong is extremely beloved. His status in the Tibetan region is second only to that Vajra Master. Saying such things could bring disaster upon you,” Xu Shuiyao pulled Luo Chen aside and whispered.
“No, let him speak. Let us see how he will die?” Du Dong gave a cold sneer.
“Boasting without any sense of propriety. Young man, do you even know what a Great Master is?” Du Dong finally felt that an opportunity had arrived, a chance to regain some face.
“I am the previous MMA gold belt champion. Generally, for someone like you, I could fight ten of you, and do so with ease.”
“But let me tell you, if I were to encounter the Great Master Labu Yangzong, I am afraid that even a hundred of me would not be his match.”
“And you dare to speak so arrogantly here?” Du Dong sneered.
After all, he was a mixed martial arts champion, a particularly well known figure even within the industry.
Even he would not dare to make such a statement, yet this young man dared to boast like this?
This was clearly an attempt to show off in front of the women, which was why he was boasting so recklessly.
It was just that this fellow might be too foolish. Boasting about ordinary things would be one thing, but how could he dare to boast about something like this?
“Moreover, do you even know how much influence Labu Yangzong has in the Tibetan region?”
“For someone like you, let alone causing trouble, even a single disrespectful remark would bring countless people to come and make you into a human lamp,” Du Dong looked at Luo Chen disdainfully.
However, Luo Chen did not bother to argue with this group. He no longer took the words of such truly insignificant people to heart.
How could a sparrow understand the ambitions of a swan?
Furthermore, if you were to speak to an ant about the Earth, the Sun, and the universe, could the ant possibly imagine or understand?
This was a gap in levels, making communication fundamentally impossible.
Xu Shuiyao, being quite intelligent, promptly changed the subject.
Although Luo Chen had performed excellently the previous night, his recent remark made Xu Shuiyao secretly shake her head.
Originally, she had thought Luo Chen was quite decent and seemed to have only recently entered society.
She thought that after this trip to Tibet concluded, she could consider taking Luo Chen to develop his career in Hong Kong. After all, her status was different. Although not many people in the Tibetan region recognised her, she was still a major celebrity.
With just a word or two from her, she could get Luo Chen into a major company or simply take him under her wing for grooming.
Having him as an assistant by her side would not be bad either, with a monthly salary of several tens of thousands.
For someone who had just entered society, that would be like ascending to the heavens in a single step.
However, Luo Chen’s recent remark made her abandon this idea. After all, his words showed a complete lack of awareness of his own limitations.
If she took someone like this under her wing, it would likely cause considerable trouble.
Xu Shuiyao shook her head. Society was so cruel. Perhaps the fellow before her did not yet realise that he had already lost an opportunity for rapid advancement?
Indeed, the Great Master Labu Yangzong held an extremely high status in the Tibetan region. The closer they got to Lake Rakshastal, the more people they encountered who were heading towards that Lotus Festival.
The number of people they met along the way also increased.
This was clearly a grand event.
And the Great Master Labu Yangzong was the most prominent figure, second only to that Vajra Master who was comparable to a living Buddha.
As the car approached its destination, Du Dong continued to boast along the way.
“During my years in the army, I was a hot blooded youth in the troops!” Du Dong boasted while smoking.
“Even though I am retired now, at the first call of the motherland, I can still take up arms and kill the enemy,” Du Dong said with a hint of pride.
However, as soon as these words left his mouth, a person in military uniform appeared ahead, fleeing in a dishevelled manner.
That person was clearly injured, yet he ran with swift steps, his speed no slower than that of a car.
And behind him, three people were actually giving chase.
Judging by their attire, these three were clearly foreigners.
Moreover, their speed was equally swift. It would not take long for them to catch up with the person fleeing ahead.
This scene immediately terrified the group. Were these even human?
Running faster than a car, with each stride covering dozens of metres. Just looking at it was frightening!
Even behind those three foreigners, dust seemed to swirl, as if they carried three tornadoes with them. Rather than running, it was more like they were flying across the ground.
“The opportunity to serve the motherland has arrived. Go ahead,” a cold smile crossed Luo Chen’s lips. “Young man, go. Show your passion, show the duty a soldier ought to have!”
