Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 1148: Chapter 724: The System Returns

Master Zhi Shang of the Shaolin Temple, located at the foot of a large mountain in F City, is the birthplace of Hua Country’s Kung Fu.

The entire Shaolin Temple covers an area of about 50,000 square meters, boasting a long heritage and occupying an important position in Hua Country.

Kung Fu, also known as Hua Country’s martial arts abroad, is represented by this Shaolin Temple. Therefore, this tourist spot attracts even more foreign visitors than other places in Hua Country. Naturally, the majority of these international tourists come to witness Hua Country’s Kung Fu.

The so-called martial arts, or wushu, peaked twenty years ago when Hua Country selected its top ten Grandmasters. At that time, Hua Country’s martial arts were famous worldwide. However, as time passed, many Great Grandmasters either retired or went into seclusion. With these top experts out of the public eye and various other factors, martial arts began to decline. Now, even within Hua Country, very few recognize wushu. Many think it’s just for show – impressive to look at but impractical. In contrast, those influenced by movies and television from abroad are still very obsessed with Kung Fu.

Chu Mo arrived in F City yesterday, but he didn’t rush to the Shaolin Temple. Instead, he spent a night in a hotel in F City and set off lightly equipped early the next morning, December 2nd.

In order not to disturb Master Zhi Shang of the Shaolin Temple, Chu Mo did not bring many bodyguards with him. Besides the two Great Grandmasters, Qin Lan and Lei Ting, he kept no one else by his side.

He had spent the previous day touring F City with a fair-skinned and beautiful flight attendant and had since had a good night’s sleep. He was now feeling refreshed. When the Rolls-Royce stopped at the foot of the mountain, Chu Mo got out of the car on his own and walked towards the Shaolin Temple.

Despite it not being the peak tourist season, the Shaolin Temple, a popular destination, was still bustling with visitors. Looking around, one could spot many blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.

Chu Mo strolled leisurely, not in a hurry to move forward. Like any ordinary tourist, he walked and stopped along the way, pausing to admire the beautiful scenery whenever he encountered it, appearing just like a regular visitor.

In the forests of December, the ground was already covered with fallen leaves. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind would sweep by, causing the few remaining leaves on the tree branches above to drift down.

When a leaf fluttered onto Chu Mo’s shoulder, he suddenly stopped, picked it off, and then continued moving forward.

As he reached a narrow path, Chu Mo suddenly noticed that Lei Ting and Qin Lan, who were supposed to stealthily protect him from the shadows, had appeared beside him. He frowned slightly, and just as he looked up, he saw two old men, one dressed in black and the other in white, with similar faces and graying hair, standing quietly at the other end of the path.

Upon seeing the two men, Chu Mo let out a soft sigh.

Indeed, the other party did not want him to meet the Abbot of Shaolin. Their decision to show themselves also meant that they had lost patience.

If the previous encounter was merely a warning, this time it probably wouldn’t be resolved as easily.

“Mr. Chu, those who come are not friendly!”

Qin Lan, wearing a pair of sunglasses, slowly approached Chu Mo. The stunning woman with the strength of a mid-level Great Grandmaster had a grave expression on her face.

Chu Mo knew that the two people opposite him both had the strength of mid-level Great Grandmasters. The combined efforts of Qin Lan and Lei Ting by his side would not be a match for them, and what’s more critical was that, apart from these two in black and white, the Miss Xue of the Xue family, with the power of a peak mid-level Great Grandmaster, must be nearby!

Chu Mo knew that if the other party really made a move, even if all the dozens of personal bodyguards left in F City came over, they would stand no chance.

He took a deep breath, and at this moment, Chu Mo somewhat regretted coming to Shaolin personally. If he had known that the Xue family was so urgent, he would not have come to Shaolin and would have stayed in F City, where the heads of the four great families would protect him. Even with the Xue family’s strength, they wouldn’t dare to be so brazen.

The two old men opposite were mid-level Great Grandmasters. Even if Lei Ting and Qin Lan defended with all their might, they would not last long. Given an additional peak mid-level Miss Xue, Chu Mo realized he truly stood no chance this time.

Seemingly, yielding to their demands by submissively handing over the Sharira, Heavenly Spirit Pill, and the second Longevity Pill on him was his only way out.

“Besides compromising… is there really no other way?”

At this moment, Chu Mo gently touched the three exquisite wooden boxes in his pocket. These boxes contained the three most precious Spirit Pills, among which the Heavenly Spirit Pill was essential for creating the third Longevity Pill. Losing it would cause even Chu Mo to feel heartache.

Moreover, to simply hand over one’s belongings unconditionally, he believed nobody would be willing to do so without resentment.

At this moment, Chu Mo took a deep breath and looked towards the distant Shaolin Temple. There, Abbot Zhi Shang of the Shaolin was present. If the Abbot intervened, with his terrifying proficiencies as a senior Great Grandmaster, even a powerful family like the Xue family would hardly dare to be reckless.

A gleam of determination flashed in Chu Mo’s eyes, no longer hesitating, he promptly stepped towards the narrow path leading to the front gate.
