“This is not arrogance, nor is it looking down on everything. In fact, I have already been very modest.” Luo Chen remained very calm.
Perhaps others, when facing the number one expert on the Huaxia Tianlong Ranking, would be so frightened by that title alone that they would act out of place, even trembling with anxiety.
Even some big shots from Yanjing would feel some apprehension, but would Luo Chen care?
“Modest?” Li Jiu let out a light laugh.
“Perhaps you have only just arrived in Yanjing, or perhaps you are still young. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger. You are very much like me when I was young, but the difference between us is that when I was young, I had the capital for arrogance!” Li Jiu slowly spoke again.
And without waiting for Luo Chen to speak, Li Jiu continued.
“What I just said, you can think it over. I am not opposed to you being with my daughter, but before you have sufficient strength, it is better for you to keep your distance from her.”
“Additionally, I can give you an opportunity!” Li Jiu suddenly changed the subject and spoke.
“Although you have already passed the best age for martial arts training, I can still accept you as my disciple. I can give you this title. In the future, in Yanjing, few would dare to touch you.”
“Because according to my understanding, the younger generation of your Shen family does not seem very friendly towards you.” Li Jiu spoke with pride.
The man standing to the side had been silently standing in place the whole time, but at this moment he could not help but reveal a look of shock, because this was the first time Li Jiu had voluntarily offered to accept someone as a disciple.
One must know that even if he taught you no martial arts at all, the title of Li Jiu’s disciple alone would be enough to instantly raise your status in Yanjing by several levels.
It would not be lower than some third-generation members of major families.
It might even be higher. Even the heads of some major families might treat you as an equal and with courtesy when they saw you.
This was a heaven-sent opportunity.
And Li Jiu naturally thought so too.
But these words caused Luo Chen to become slightly angry, and then his brow twitched.
Then he turned around and walked straight towards the door.
“I hope that one day, you will not feel so ashamed and embarrassed by what you said to me today that you blush.”
Li Jiu was first stunned, and only reacted after Luo Chen had walked far away.
“Good lad, quite a temper.”
“And he really is arrogant enough, daring to even mock me!” Li Jiu was now somewhat taken aback.
“But what a pity.” Li Jiu sighed.
In his view, Luo Chen had undoubtedly missed an opportunity.
This was an opportunity that even some major families could not beg for.
Let alone the younger generation, even the older generation could not beg for it. For example, Shen Tianjun had also come with this purpose back then.
But what was the result?
But now Luo Chen had not only refused to his face, but from his behaviour just now, it could be seen that Luo Chen had almost not even considered it.
And he had even spoken so wildly, telling him not to feel ashamed of these words in the future.
This was somewhat contemptuous of him.
“Master, shall I go teach him how to behave?” the man who had gone to pick up Luo Chen spoke with some dissatisfaction.
Because he felt that this sentence was a great disrespect from Luo Chen towards Li Jiu!
“Forget it, let him be. I would like to see how he will make me feel ashamed and embarrassed by these words.” Li Jiu did not have such a bad temper.
After all, this was the person his daughter had taken a liking to. Although he also found it strange, because his daughter had always had very high standards.
He did not know how she had taken a liking to this lad, but who could say for sure about matters between men and women?
Was not Shen Yuelan also looking down on everything back then, with no one in the entire Yanjing younger generation worthy of her attention?
But in the end, she had taken a fancy to an ordinary person from a county town?
After all, not every girl is that pragmatic. Young people still speak of something called love.
But Luo Chen’s attitude just now had undoubtedly also disappointed Li Jiu greatly.
Actually, the fact that he had someone call Luo Chen over today already said everything, but who would have thought this lad would be so clueless?
“How are preparations for that matter coming along?” Li Jiu suddenly changed the subject.
“It is said that the person arrived three days ago.”
“He originally planned to first go see that young grandmaster from East China, but that person seems to have too great a background. Ordinary people truly cannot find him. Even when I went to investigate him, I was warned.” that man spoke.
“So, he has now come directly to Yanjing and is already preparing for battle.”
“And he has already declared that he will defeat all the experts of Huaxia!” Li Jiu’s disciple spoke, though there was obviously some indignation in this statement.
“Sigh.” Li Jiu rarely let out a sigh.
“Master, could it be that you?”
“Let me be frank with you. Actually, I do not have much confidence either!” Li Jiu rarely lacked that air of commanding the world.
“How is that possible?”
“I firmly believe that Master, you are invincible in this generation!” Li Jiu’s disciple spoke.
“But do you know his origins?” Li Jiu revealed a look of melancholy.
“If we speak purely of martial arts, I am not afraid of any single person. I even have a belief in invincibility, but that person from the EU is not merely a simple martial arts transformation realm expert.”
“It is said that he is not an ordinary human!” Li Jiu had naturally done much homework beforehand.
After all, this battle was of extraordinary significance.
If that person from the EU who had come over was merely a simple transformation realm expert, that would be one thing, but it was said that his bloodline carried something strange, very much like the legendary vampires.
If that were true, it would be troublesome.
Because if they were all human, then what if the other party was a transformation realm expert?
But if the other party was a vampire and had also trained in martial arts to the transformation realm, that would be troublesome.
Because vampires themselves were one level higher than ordinary humans in terms of life hierarchy.
Coupled with achievements in martial arts, Li Jiu really did not have much confidence.
But this time, he had to make a move whether he wanted to or not.
They had already bullied their way to Yanjing. Was he really going to wait until all the experts of Huaxia were slaughtered?
And as soon as that person arrived, he set his sights on Li Jiu, obviously having something to rely on.
This was also why he had been moved to give Luo Chen an opportunity today.
After all, if he were defeated, his daughter would still need someone to take care of her.
Of course, this was the worst-case scenario. As long as the fight had not yet happened, the outcome was hard to say.
After all, he had entered the transformation realm many years ago. In his youth, he had also been a very famous existence, considered a genius!
It was just that if he won this battle, all would be well, but if he lost, then I am afraid the Huaxia martial arts world would face a catastrophic disaster!
“Sigh, what a pity about that young grandmaster from East China. If only he would…”
“Forget it, forget it.” Li Jiu shook his head. The son-in-law he had in mind was of course that young grandmaster from East China.
But such matters also depended on fate. He could not possibly try every means to find that young grandmaster and then ask, “Young man, I will give you my daughter, are you willing?”
“Prepare yourselves. We will go to meet the challenge tomorrow.” Li Jiu waved his hand.
