I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 736 Such a Coincidence
"What's the matter? Do you guys want to make a move too?" Chen Hao said with a faint smile.
The middle-aged man quickly helped the elderly man to his feet and the latter bowed and said, "I dare not do so. Mister, you are a great man with extraordinary abilities who's lying low. Some ordinary people like us dare not offend you!"
The elderly man looked young and healthy for his old age; he seemed like a respectable man too. Yet, he treated the young man with such respect, which baffled everyone at the place, especially his granddaughter.
"Grandfather, what are you talking about? You don't have to be so polite with this jerk! I missed just now, but I'll definitely bash and destroy his face this time!" The girl was surprised initially but she was soon back to her rage as she still wanted to attack Chen Hao.
"Stop it! Piaopiao, stop being rude!" the elderly man admonished immediately.
Although Shen Piaopiao was reluctant to do so, she stepped aside obediently; like the middle-aged man, she apparently respected the elderly man very much.
The elderly man then smiled and said, "Mister, you were asking my ignorant granddaughter just now about why we are kneeling here?"
"Yeah!" Chen Hao nodded.
The elderly man then proceeded to explain to Chen Hao by saying, "This is what happens here. A few years ago, there was a Master Ghost at Dragon Mountain. He has extraordinary abilities and excels in prediction and divination. He can predict a person's fortune precisely. Now, Master Chen has come to Dragon Mountain. He can save people by drawing talismans. He has mastered many unusual magical powers and skills, including the Sword Manipulation Flying Skill. The reason I came here is to ask for a talisman from Master Chen and also hope that he will accept my ignorant granddaughter as his disciple." When he first met Chen Hao, the elderly man could feel a unique aura from him. This aura actually made the elderly man, who had seen many kinds of people in his life, nervous. He only realized Chen Hao was an expert when he showed his skills just now. He noticed that Chen Hao was the strongest among all the experts; the unfathomable extent of his great strength frightened the elderly man, which resulted in his respect for Chen Hao.
Chen Hao glanced around his surroundings. Indeed, most of the groups who were kneeling consisted of some middle-aged people and a young person. It seemed that they were either seeking medical treatment or magical knowledge. Apparently, the entire Dragon Mountain was occupied by this Master Chen, who turned the place into his training center.
"What's the name of the master?" Chen Hao asked in curiosity.
"He is Master Chen Hao!" the elderly man replied politely.
"Eh? Master Chen Hao?" Chen Hao almost burst out in laughter when he heard it, but he was intrigued by the said master. Could it be possible that the master who excelled in the Sword Manipulation Flying Skill so coincidentally shared the same name with him? After all, there were not many people in the world who could master the rare magical skill of flying by manipulating a sword. Since the said master shared the same name as himself, Chen Hao became interested to know exactly how incredible that person was. So, he turned around immediately and walked straight up the mountain without paying further attention to the elderly man.
His reaction really surprised Shen Piaopiao. Damn it! How dare you ignore and disrespect my grandfather like that?
"How dare you disrespect my grandfather like this? Die!" Shen Piaopiao leaped forward, stretched out her leg and prepared to land a kick on Chen Hao's back.
The elderly man and the middle-aged man were about to stop Shen Piaopiao but it was too late. Both of them knew that the young man was not someone they could mess with! But Piaopiao, she... What? The elderly man looked on in surprise.
Shen Piaopiao was completely perplexed as her leg suddenly stopped when it was about a few centimeters away from the young man's body; she could no longer move her leg any closer toward the young man. She had a feeling that she just landed her kick on the Tibetan Plateau; it was like trying to move the entire immobile plateau with the kick, which was a futile and pointless move regardless of how powerfu the kick was. Suddenly, a sense of terror and helplessness crept through Shen Piaopiao's body.
The next moment, with a light force, the girl was bounced backward, away from Chen Hao's body.
"Piaopiao!" The elderly man held onto his granddaughter's hand immediately; he no longer looked at the young man before him with respect but with extreme fear.
"Don't do this again!" Chen Hao said plainly, without even turning around to look at them.
"Master, do you wish to go up there?" the elderly man asked.
"Yes."
"Master, although you have extraordinary abilities, there're still a lot of rules here at Dragon Mountain which you must obey. If you wish to go up there, please wait a moment. It's almost our Shen Family's turn to go up there, so perhaps you can come with us?" the elderly man suggested.
Chen Hao thought for a while. It was a good idea; he would like to see what this Master Chen Hao had up his sleeve anyway. Besides, going there with them would probably be easier than fighting his way up there, so he nodded in agreement.
"Greetings, master. I'm Shen Tiangang."
They exchanged brief greetings on their way up to the Dragon Temple and soon, the group of four, including Chen Hao, arrived at their destination.
No wonder the place was so crowded; it turned out that there was a video that was being circulated widely among notable businessmen, which showed an elderly man flying across the woods and above the lake by manipulating a flying sword.
Moreover, the elderly man had successfully cured a rich businessman of his illness. This caused him to become famous among the rich. Later on, he took in several disciples and thus his teaching business began.
A few days ago, the elderly man claimed that he would take in more disciples again, which resulted in a large crowd gathered around here today. Most of the people came to seek magical knowledge from the elderly man. He would personally assess those who wished to become his disciple.
"Please go back. You possess limited talent and intelligence. Therefore, I cannot take you as my disciple!"
When Chen Hao and his party went in, they saw a person being chased out of the place; the person looked depressed and unmotivated.
The place which used to be the lobby of the temple was turned into an assessment location. Many young people who were waiting to be assessed were gathered around the place; all of them had respectful expressions on their face.
"Piaopiao, you just came? Quick, over here!"
Once they entered, several young people, consisting of boys and girls, waved at Shen Piaopiao. The young people automatically walked toward them.
They greeted Shen Tiangang by saying, "Uncle Shen, how are you?"
"It's too difficult! Piaopiao, you know what? Up until now, no one has been successful in becoming Master Chen's disciple. He's too strict in his criteria for disciple selection," several young people commented nervously.
"Oh, Piaopiao, who's this? Your boyfriend?" some girls asked.
Apparently, they knew each other.
"What are you talking about? Of course he isn't! He came to visit Master Chen too!" Shen Piaopiao clarified, slightly embarrassed.
"I didn't come here to visit him. I just come to look around and to replace something here," Chen Hao explained dully.
He observed the so-called Master Chen just now and noticed some vital energy fluctuating within his body. However, his vital energy was unstable as it alternated between strong and weak from time to time. Chen Hao noticed that his vital energy was strange as it felt like it belonged to a member from a Mystique Clan rather than that of a true cultivator.
"Besides, does he really know the Sword Manipulation Flying Skill?" Chen Hao muttered under his breath. He really doubted the authenticity behind the whole flying business.
"Eh? What's the noise over there?" At the same time, Shen Piaopiao's conversation had caused a stir in the lobby. So, Master Chen glanced at them coldly.
"I'm sorry, Master Chen. It's him. He's doubting your ability!" Shen Piaopiao pointed at Chen Hao by her side and smiled triumphantly, which startled Shen Tiangang.
"Piaopiao, what nonsense you're talking about?" Shen Tiangang was angered.
In fact, judging from Chen Hao's performance just now, Shen Tiangang felt that he was way more powerful than the so-called Master Chen, but Piaopiao was being too stubborn and impulsive!
Shen Piaopiao, on the other hand, couldn't care less about what would happen as long as she could have her revenge. Hmph! So, you think you're invincible, huh? If you're really that incredible, you should have a real fight against a real expert like Master Chen. Let's see what you've got! Shen Piaopiao thought to herself.
