Waves of discussion continued, but Luo Chen never responded.
Not that day, not the next day, not the third day.
It was as if Luo Chen had truly tacitly accepted those rumours.
Finally, a message was released. Qingmang would emerge from seclusion at most in three or four days. When that time came, he would definitely personally seek out Luo Wuji for a fight.
Domestic heated discussion once again reached a peak.
But even with this message released, Luo Chen still made no response at all.
These past few days, he spent time with his parents when he should, and caught up with old acquaintances in Xinzhou when he should.
Instead, it was a phone call from Su Lingchu’s side that made Luo Chen slightly frown.
The Wolf King was about to march east.
Su Lingchu hadn’t explained the matter clearly either. He only said this piece of information, because it seemed he had only obtained this one piece of information.
“You really can keep your composure.” Lan Beier came to Panlong Bay in Xinzhou, her face full of smiles, seeming extremely happy.
“Should I go online to explain?” Luo Chen asked with a smile, strolling with Lan Beier by the lake.
“Guess how the movie’s performance is?” Lan Beier seemed especially happy. Mentioning this matter gave her a kind of animated, expressive feeling.
“It should be quite good, right?” Luo Chen asked.
“Over sixty million on the first day of premiere. At this rate, taking one and a half billion won’t be a problem!” Lan Beier spoke with great delight.
“Not bad.” Luo Chen had no real concept of this, casually offering praise.
But Lan Beier pouted her lips. You must know, if they could really take one and a half billion at the box office, that would be at least top five ranking in this year’s domestic film market. Moreover, they were a Hong Kong film.
After all, for a Hong Kong film to achieve such proud results in the mainland could already be called a miracle.
But thinking about it, this one and a half billion box office was an extremely dazzling honour for a film, even for many people. But in Luo Chen’s hands, it was merely a matter of half an hour. With a simple opening of his mouth, someone would obediently deliver the money. Lan Beier immediately deflated again.
And this film was actually invested by Baiyue Company under Luo Chen’s name. At the end of the day, the one making money was still Luo Chen.
Thinking of this, Lan Beier suddenly felt she had a loose tongue. Why was she telling Luo Chen about this?
Wasn’t she just making herself unhappy?
“Can’t compare with our Boss Luo!” Lan Beier spoke while stomping her foot in anger.
Luo Chen was instead amused by Lan Beier.
“Speaking of proper matters, our film box office is truly not bad. So I am personally treating the film crew to a celebration at the Kaiyue International Hotel in Dragon Capital.” Lan Beier deliberately put on a serious tone while speaking.
“You want me to go?” Luo Chen guessed Lan Beier’s intention as soon as he heard.
“Of course. I boasted to them that I would definitely bring you to the scene!” Lan Beier said while leaning close to Luo Chen.
“Fine, I’ll go, I’ll go, definitely go!” Luo Chen hurriedly agreed.
“Then it’s settled. Tomorrow night, Kaiyue International in Dragon Capital!” Lan Beier revealed a triumphant smile.
That afternoon, Lan Beier flew back to Dragon Capital, then went to book the hotel.
And that night, Qingcheng Mountain was packed with people.
At this moment, on the summit of Qingcheng Mountain, the bright moon hung in the sky, stars dotted everywhere.
Under the pure moonlight, it was like daylight, clearly illuminating the sea of clouds below the cliff.
And at this moment, within the sea of clouds, a person was slowly walking through the air with hands clasped behind his back.
As if there was a path within that sea of clouds.
But below was a ten-thousand-zhang cliff. If someone mistakenly thought there was a path and jumped into the sea of clouds, they would probably be smashed into meat paste.
That person was clothed in white as pure as snow, long hair draped behind his head. Walking within the vast, misty sea of clouds, he truly seemed like an immortal descending to earth.
“They all say Immortal Qingmang is unparalleled under heaven, like a banished immortal come to the world. I previously thought these were merely words of flattery. I never expected that seeing him today, it is truly so!” The one speaking was none other than Lu Jianguo.
“Hmph, Old Lu, at least you know what’s what. You knew at the critical moment to turn back from the wrong path, and didn’t continue following that Luo Wuji.” Li Tianyou snorted coldly.
“However, back then I approached you, but you rejected me in one bite. You said following that Luo Wuji would definitely bring glory to your Lu family!”
“Do you still dare say those words now?” Li Tianyou said sarcastically, the cold smile on his face very thick.
“Ah, Teacher Li, this matter is my fault. I was muddled at that time. I didn’t join you all in pledging allegiance to Immortal Qingmang sooner!”
“But before this, I truly hadn’t personally seen Immortal Qingmang’s peerless magnificence!” Lu Jianguo truly regretted.
He had personally seen Luo Chen. Actually, his aura and presence did seem extraordinary.
But if compared to this Qingmang before him, then it really fell far short.
After all, at this moment Qingmang was coming through the air. His entire body seemed to still be bathed in a faint starlight.
None of these were present on Luo Chen.
“If I had seen Immortal Qingmang’s magnificence earlier, how could I have refused your invitation back then?” Lu Jianguo shook his head.
“At least you turned back from your wrong ways, sparing your Lu family from the calamity of extermination!” Lan Feihu spoke from the side.
And at this moment, on the summit, people like Lu Jianguo were not few in number.
At this moment, they all revealed expressions of shock as they watched Qingmang walk out from the sea of clouds.
They were all heads of wealthy families, or big shot level figures.
The people present here were all figures who could cause no small earthquake in the country with a single stomp of their feet.
Yet at this moment, they had travelled thousands of li to come to this summit of Qingcheng Mountain.
“Teacher Li, didn’t they say Immortal Qingmang still needed a few more days before emerging from seclusion?”
“How did he emerge today?” Lu Jianguo asked in confusion.
“Hmph, that was merely a diversion!”
“Immortal Qingmang was worried that this time, after knowing the news, that Luo Wuji would run away early again. So he released a false message to confuse that Luo Wuji!” A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Tianyou’s eyes, a cruel smile crossing the corner of his mouth.
Just wait, Luo Wuji. You think my Li family is so easy to bully?
“Immortal’s considerations are thorough. We admire!” Hearing these words, everyone echoed in agreement.
And at this moment, Qingmang had already walked on clouds to before this group of people.
“We respectfully welcome Immortal Qingmang!”
A group of people cupped their fists, then directly knelt down.
Lu Jianguo was stunned, slightly hesitant. But Li Tianyou abruptly pulled him, and Lu Jianguo also knelt down.
Just as Lu Jianguo wanted to show displeasure, a dense killing intent instantly swept over their heads.
Those behind who had come for the first time and hadn’t had time to kneel were immediately enveloped by this killing aura. Their entire bodies went soft, directly collapsing onto the ground. Among them, two big shots actually wet their pants.
Lu Jianguo secretly wiped his cold sweat, secretly calling himself lucky.
Fortunately, he had chosen Qingmang and broken away from Luo Chen. Just this killing aura alone was not something that Luo Wuji could compare to.
“Where is Luo Wuji?” Qingmang asked with a cold laugh, his voice cold.
