Chapter 2

"Shuang'er, don't be impolite."

The woman was about to mock Luo Chen a few more times but was stopped by the old man.

The old man seemed to be very cultivated, but Luo Chen still noticed the condescending attitude of the old man.

"Young man, you seemed to look at this painting with great disdain just now?" The old man was also very concerned about others' attitudes towards his treasures.

"Fake." Luo Chen responded indifferently.

"Fake?" The girl named Shuang'er immediately became angry upon hearing this, standing up and pointing at Luo Chen.

"Do you dare to say that my grandfather's collection is fake? That's utter nonsense." Shuang'er looked at Luo Chen with disdain.

For a random passenger to speak so recklessly in front of her, Ye Shuangshuang felt her dignity was being challenged. It had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to her like that.

"Shuang'er, sit down." The old man said sternly, but his face was still stern, showing his dissatisfaction.

"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't speak recklessly. This genuine piece has been appraised by several masters in the industry."

The old man had white hair but a ruddy complexion, his breathing was unusually steady, not like an old man at all, but rather with the vigor of a young man. Luo Chen guessed that the old man was likely a martial arts expert, but even so-called martial arts experts were nothing to him.

"I said it's fake, so it's definitely fake." Luo Chen was unconcerned.

"Hey, you brat, I'll teach you a lesson today."

Shuang'er stood up angrily again. After all, she and her family were all-powerful in Tongzhou, used to acting arrogantly. To put it bluntly, not to mention others, even the mayor of Tongzhou wouldn't dare to be so disrespectful to her grandfather.

"You?" Luo Chen smiled slightly. He naturally saw that the girl in front of him was also a martial artist, probably having practiced for about ten years.

But so-called martial arts skills were nothing to Luo Chen.

Even though he had lost his cultivation, he still had the protective aura of the Tai Huang Jing.

Ordinary people couldn't touch him.

Although the old man intended to stop it, he changed his mind when he saw Luo Chen's attitude. Although he no longer had the competitive spirit of a young man, he was still a significant figure and naturally had the dignity that should not be offended.

Moreover, Luo Chen saying his collection was fake did indeed make him somewhat unhappy.

It was time to give these young people, who didn't know their place and were arrogant, a lesson.

As for his granddaughter, though she was a girl, she was not an easy opponent for ordinary people. After all, he had trained her for over ten years, and the old man was very confident in this regard.

"Brat, remember this, don't speak recklessly to everyone." The girl named Shuang'er waved her hand, and over a dozen people in the carriage stood up, clearly indicating that the old man was no ordinary person.

The conductor was about to intervene, but one of the big men showed a document to the conductor, who immediately changed his expression. After looking at the old man, he respectfully retreated and even closed the door to the carriage.

The girl then walked up to Luo Chen, sneered, and looked at him with disdain. Without a word, she slapped Luo Chen.

Clearly, she didn't take Luo Chen seriously at all.

The slap came fiercely.

But Luo Chen didn't even dodge, nor did he look at Shuang'er.

Shuang'er's slap was meant to teach Luo Chen a lesson, but she didn't control her strength. Although she was a girl, she was a martial artist, and this slap would have dislocated the jaw of an ordinary person.

But just as the slap was about to hit Luo Chen's face, Shuang'er's expression suddenly changed in horror.

Because the slap stopped three centimeters from Luo Chen's face.

It wasn't that Shuang'er didn't want to hit him, but she couldn't get through. Her slap seemed to hit an invisible wall.

No matter how hard she tried, her face turned red, but she couldn't advance an inch.

"Shuang'er, step back quickly." The old man's expression changed drastically, and he stood up and pulled Shuang'er away in a flash, his heart almost jumping to his throat.

He then waved at the dozen people.

With Luo Chen's keen eyesight, he naturally saw that those dozen people were about to draw their guns.

Interesting.

"Sir, I apologize, it was my rashness." The old man saw that Luo Chen didn't continue to act and slightly relaxed, then bowed respectfully to Luo Chen.

"Shuang'er, apologize to this gentleman." The old man even pulled the girl beside him.

"Grandfather, what are you doing? What's your status? Besides, I don't believe he can block it."

"Shut up, what do you know?" The old man suddenly scolded. Bullets might not be blocked, but the other party could kill him and his granddaughter before they could draw their guns. The old man was very sure of this.

"Apologize quickly!" The old man's heart was now filled with a hint of fear.

Perhaps others didn't know, but he couldn't. This was the manifestation of inner strength, a master-level figure in the so-called martial arts world, a towering presence.

If such a person acted, even he couldn't withstand a single move.

The manifestation of inner strength, if the other party had the intention to kill, they could take their lives with a breath.

Such a person was not someone they could provoke.

"Sorry." Shuang'er apologized reluctantly, but she did apologize.

"No more, no one dares to slap me." Luo Chen's expression was calm, but his tone revealed a hint of killing intent.

At this moment, Luo Chen's aura changed, like a high and mighty deity, overwhelming and covering the earth, as if a deity had descended to the mortal world.

Fortunately, the other party was just a little girl, and with Luo Chen's mindset as a Venerable Immortal, he wouldn't be too concerned.

Otherwise, if anyone dared to slap him, the other party would have already become a corpse.

When Shuang'er faced Luo Chen's aura, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, her body turned icy cold, as if she were in a freezer, her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.

"Sir, I apologize, it was my rashness. Please be lenient, considering she is just a young and ignorant girl." The old man was drenched in cold sweat, bowed again, and felt unstable on his feet.

At this moment, the old man's heart was in turmoil. At his status and level of knowledge, he naturally knew some secrets that ordinary people couldn't.

But the more he knew, the more he feared Luo Chen. The old man bitterly smiled, never expecting to encounter such a legendary figure on a train.

In fact, the old man was an extremely powerful person in Tongzhou. At least in Tongzhou, no one could be taken seriously by him, and sometimes even people from both the open and hidden worlds had to consider his face.

But today, he felt for the first time that he might have provoked someone he shouldn't, and he felt fear for the first time.

"I am Ye Zhengtian, may I ask for your esteemed name?" The old man smiled apologetically.
