This elderly man was called Li Zhihua, a member of one of the wealthiest families on the Hong Kong side. He was truly a figure who could summon wind and rain in that region.
Dressed in a Tang suit made of exceptionally fine materials, and with his ruddy complexion, it was clear he was someone who understood the art of health preservation.
The young woman beside the elderly man was his granddaughter, called Li Qi.
As for the tall man, he was merely a bodyguard. He appeared quite young, but was actually nearing forty years of age.
However, he was a master of fist techniques and notably a practitioner who had reached the great completion stage of internal strength.
He was also a rather famous figure on the Hong Kong side.
The purpose of their visit this time was to pay respects to the Vajra Sect, seeking a fortunate opportunity. If they could successfully enter the Vajra Sect, it would be considered a stroke of destiny.
In truth, despite the unassuming name of Qimen Dunjia, it carried significant heritage. This lineage had a mysterious transmission, said to originate from the line of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, and since ancient times had borne the title of Imperial Studies.
Famous figures throughout history, such as Jiang Taigong, Zhang Liang, the Marquis Wu Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen, came from this lineage. These individuals possessed the ability to stabilise nations and stir the winds and clouds of the world.
From this, one could see just how formidable this lineage truly was.
Therefore, even though Li Zhihua was from the Hong Kong side, he had revered the Vajra Sect since childhood and always longed for it.
Unfortunately, when he had come to the Vajra Sect in his youth to seek learning, he was rejected due to his arrogance and high aspirations.
Now he could only bring his grandson and granddaughter here, hoping to try their luck. It just so happened that they encountered Luo Chen here.
Seeing that Luo Chen and a figure completely wrapped in garments had been quietly listening to their conversation, he naturally asked.
After all, this was not exactly a secret.
Hearing the elderly man ask a question, Luo Chen simply gave a faint nod.
However, this made Li Zhihua granddaughter, Li Qi, somewhat displeased. She immediately arched her delicate eyebrows and spoke.
“What is wrong with you? My grandfather speaking to you is him showing you respect, and you merely nod?”
Since Li Qi belonged to one of the wealthiest families on the Hong Kong side and was this elderly man granddaughter, she had undoubtedly been spoiled. She had been like a princess since childhood, and even some social celebrities and upper class figures on the Hong Kong side treated her with great respect.
Witnessing Luo Chen attitude at this moment, she naturally felt dissatisfied.
After all, what was her grandfather status and position?
Even the Chief Executive of Hong Kong would have to show respect and give face upon meeting him. How dare a young man like Luo Chen act so arrogantly?
“Xiao Qi, you must change this habit. The Vajra Sect places the utmost importance on this point. Your grandfather suffered from this very arrogance and high aspirations in his youth, which is why he failed to successfully enter the Vajra Sect.”
“Quickly, apologise to this young man.” Li Zhihua spoke with a smile.
“I will not. What is my status? Why should I apologise to him?” Li Qi snorted coldly, her face stern.
Apologise to this young man?
That was absolutely impossible.
“Hehe, I am sorry, young man. My granddaughter has been spoiled by me since childhood.” Li Zhihua offered an apology.
“It is fine.” Luo Chen nodded.
“Ah, Grandfather, look at his attitude. He was the one with the stern face first, as if it were truly my fault.” Li Qi spoke with dissatisfaction.
“Alright, say less.” Li Zhihua comforted her from the side.
“Young man, surely you are not also here hoping to join the Vajra Sect?” Li Zhihua asked again.
He actually hoped that Luo Chen was.
The Vajra Sect did accept outsiders in truth.
It was just that although many people knew of it in daily life, they only knew superficial details.
For instance, in the eyes of those who did not understand, Qimen Dunjia was merely a form of divination. Few people would associate it with cultivation methods or divine abilities.
Therefore, even those who knew of the Vajra Sect rarely went to seek a master and study.
There was an old saying that without comparison, there is no harm.
Li Zhihua had brought his granddaughter to seek a master and study. Today, only their group was present.
Thus, the chance of success was hard to predict. Even the most outstanding person needed a comparison.
If this young man before him was also here to seek a master and study, then he could bring this young man along. When the time came for comparison, would it not highlight his granddaughter excellence?
Would that not increase the chances of entering the Vajra Sect?
Li Zhihua was, after all, a businessman. He always placed benefit first in his words and actions.
Otherwise, to put it bluntly, with his status and position, why would he take the initiative to speak with such a young man?
Clearly, the moment he saw Luo Chen interest in the Vajra Sect, he had already made his plans.
However, upon hearing Li Zhihua speak, before Luo Chen could say anything, Li Qi sneered from the side.
“Grandfather, look at him. If he went to the Vajra Sect, would they accept him?”
Li Qi words were filled with disdain.
“I am indeed here to find the Vajra Sect.” Luo Chen nodded.
However, he was not here to seek a master and study. He was here to kill someone.
If the Vajra Sect refused to hand over Jiang Yifei, Luo Chen would not mind slaughtering the entire Vajra Sect.
But upon hearing these words, Li Zhihua clearly misunderstood.
He immediately spoke with a smile.
“Xiao Qi, quickly apologise to this young fellow.” Upon hearing that Luo Chen was also going to the Vajra Sect, Li Zhihua even changed how he addressed Luo Chen.
He even felt as if his wishes were coming true. He suddenly felt that this time, his granddaughter might have a sure chance of entering the Vajra Sect.
“Grandfather, what is my status?”
“How can I apologise to him?” Li Qi rolled her eyes as she spoke.
“Your grandfather told you to apologise, so apologise.” Li Zhihua glared at Li Qi.
“I will not. Is he worthy?” Li Qi turned her face away directly.
“Young fellow, please excuse us for the embarrassment.” Li Zhihua spoke to Luo Chen with a smile.
“By the way, young fellow, since we are both going to the Vajra Sect, why do not we travel together? What do you think?” Li Zhihua prepared to further advance his plan.
“I do not agree.”
Before Luo Chen could say anything, Li Qi spoke directly from the side again.
“Grandfather, how can you let him travel with us?”
“Xiao Qi.” Li Zhihua scolded.
“I will not. I simply do not agree. I am unwilling to travel with someone like him.” Li Qi kept a stern face.
She had a very poor impression of Luo Chen. Furthermore, with her status and position, travelling with someone like Luo Chen would simply lower her standing.
However, Li Zhihua was now somewhat angry.
“Nonsense, absolute nonsense.” Li Zhihua scolded.
“Young fellow, do not be angry. I am inviting you now. What do you say?” Li Zhihua smiled and apologised.
“Very well.” Luo Chen smiled and nodded.
He would save himself the effort of inquiring and searching for the Vajra Sect.
After all, the Jiugong Mountain was so vast that finding it would be troublesome.
If someone could lead the way directly, Luo Chen would naturally welcome it.
“In that case, it is getting late. Why do not we go now? Young fellow, please.” Seeing his plan succeed, Li Zhihua was secretly delighted.
