NOVPUBChapter 1001: Chapter 643: The Terror of the Elderly Chapter 1001 -643: The Terror of the Elderly The elderly man with white hair who appeared before them had a slightly hunched figure, and a small goatee decorated his chin, his entire being seemed to carry an air of immortality.
The moment the old man appeared, Chu Mo鈥檚 companions Lei Ting and Fan Gao grew vigilant as if facing a formidable enemy, and Great Grandmaster Lei Ting even assumed a slightly tense stance芒鈧€漵omething he only did when he was fully on guard.
However, just by seeing the reaction of his two bodyguards, one could tell that this seemingly unremarkable old man was definitely a master.
At the very least, he possessed top-level combat capabilities that could threaten Lei Ting.
From this, it became apparent that the elder before them was undoubtedly a Great Grandmaster.
At this moment, Chu Mo felt somewhat puzzled.
In the past, he had only heard about the ten Great Grandmasters of Hua Country, and these rankings were decided twenty years ago.
...
Now, four of these universally recognized Great Grandmasters had already passed away, leaving only six still alive.
Even with the recent addition of Lei Ting, a newly advanced Grandmaster, there were only seven Great Grandmasters recognized by the martial world.
However, Chu Mo now deeply understood that, just like the Forbes list, this universally accepted list was entirely inaccurate.
On the Forbes list, Zhang Dahua was merely listed with an asset value of 360 billion, but in reality, the leading family of Hua Country芒鈧€漷he Dragon family, led by Long Zhentian芒鈧€漺as in control of a staggering 3.7 trillion in assets.
Thus, the Forbes list accounted for only a portion of the wealthy, and those who preferred to remain off the list were never included.
Similarly, the ten Great Grandmasters of Hua Country were just those who participated in the selection twenty years ago.
Indeed, there were individuals uninterested in fame or fortune who preferred to live incognito, leading simple yet fulfilling lives.

The old man before them, with a goatee and who spent his days dancing with old ladies in the park and playing chess, surely would not be recognized as a Grandmaster if his identity were not known beforehand.
Yet, this ordinary-seeming old man was, in fact, a genuine top-tier figure, a presence capable of turning the tide.
Chu Mo took the initiative to rise from his seat.
After taking a light breath, he slightly gestured with his hand, about to have Lei Ting, who stood in front of him, step back.
Unexpectedly, Lei Ting did not obey Chu Mo鈥檚 command and remained fully focused on the old man across from him.
Observing Lei Ting鈥檚 muscles tensed and ready to strike at any moment, Chu Mo also sensed something amiss.
He looked directly at the old man across from him and noticed for the first time that, despite his commonplace appearance, the depths of the elder鈥檚 murky eyes carried a chilling coldness.
It seemed the old man was very displeased with the presence of Chu Mo and his group and could lash out to teach them a lesson at any time.
A trace of caution also appeared in Chu Mo鈥檚 eyes.
He no longer presumed himself safe and honestly stood behind Lei Ting and Fan Gao.
As the two sides stood off against each other, suddenly from the room opposite, a young girl鈥檚 crisp and excited voice rang out!
鈥淎h鈥
Qin Lan, that鈥檚 totally unfair!
If you really go live like this, not to mention the boys, even many girls won鈥檛 be able to resist your charm!鈥
In the pink room, a voice belonging to someone named Liu Liu revealed surprise and emotion.
The moment Liu Liu鈥檚 voice echoed, the coldness in the goatee-wearing elder鈥檚 eyes dissipated instantly, replaced by a hint of warmth.
The old man clearly did not want his precious granddaughter to detect anything amiss.
He hummed a tune with his hands clasped behind his back and strolled into the living room, not until then did Lei Ting and Fan Gao finally relax their guard slightly.
A smile returned to Chu Mo鈥檚 face as he greeted the old man in front of him:
鈥淓lder Liu, greetings.
My name is Chu Mo.鈥
The goatee-wearing elder鈥檚 previously buoyant step paused, and he specifically looked up to take in Chu Mo.
The old man鈥檚 murky eyes showed a bit of puzzlement.
However, after a moment, he entered the living room, glancing over at his granddaughter鈥檚 room, and when he caught sight of the stunning young girl by his granddaughter鈥檚 side, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Of course, given the old man鈥檚 cultivation, he was not captivated by Qin Lan鈥檚 ravishing beauty but rather stunned by the terrifying True Qi she kept concealed.
Qin Lan looked no older than sixteen or seventeen, a young girl in the bloom of youth, even younger than his cherished granddaughter. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Yet her strength had reached the frightening level of a mid-tier Great Grandmaster.
As a mid-tier Great Grandmaster, Qin Lan could completely conceal her True Qi as she wished, and her aura was entirely restrained, which was why the old man had not noticed her presence at the door just before.
He had even considered testing Lei Ting and Fan Gao with his hands, but eventually, he held back.
However, now that he had become aware of Qin Lan鈥檚 formidable strength, the elder鈥檚 thoughts changed again.
His gaze quickly withdrew from Qin Lan and after sizing up Chu Mo a few times, the old man spoke in a low voice:
鈥淢r.
Chu from Modu, your reputation certainly precedes you.
Even though I, an old man, have long been indifferent to worldly affairs, your name still rings like thunder in my ears.鈥
The elder sat down casually across from Chu Mo on the sofa, and at this point, hearing the old man鈥檚 voice, Liu Liu also emerged from the pink room, coming over to the elder with a delighted face while introducing:
