Gods: Start with Goblins

Lei Ershao led the way, occasionally looking back at Luo Dan who was following behind him. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, seeing Luo Dan's steady steps and calm expression, as if he was not going to a big cultivation family like the Lei family, but an ordinary street.

"Mr. Luo, are you really not nervous at all?" Young Master Lei couldn't help but ask. He was really curious about why Luo Dan could be so calm.

Luo Dan smiled slightly and responded calmly: "Second Master Lei, what's the point of being nervous? Now that things have come to this, we might as well face it calmly."

Lei Er Shao was slightly shocked when he heard this. This man's character is really extraordinary. He was going to the Lei family, but he was still so calm, as if everything was under his control. He couldn't help but look back at Luo Dan again, trying to see something from his eyes, but Luo Dan's eyes were still as calm as water, without any ripples.

"To name someone by name, you need to look at the treasure of our Lei family. Either you are too arrogant, arrogant and don't know there are people better than you." Lei Ershao pondered in his heart, "Or you have absolute foundation support and absolute strength to allow it. Luo Dan, what kind of person are you?"

Lei Ershao's eyes flashed. He knew that the world of cultivation was full of hidden talents and that one could not judge a person's strength based on appearance alone. Luo Dan could so calmly ask to see the Lei family's treasure. Either he really had something to rely on, or he was too naive. But Lei Ershao was more inclined to the former. After all, how could someone who could cultivate to such a level be really naive?

When he thought of the latter possibility, that Luo Dan really had absolute background and strength, Lei Ershao's attitude became much more humble. He understood that facing such a person, he had to be more cautious and not be careless.

The two walked along the way and soon arrived at the Lei family's mansion. As a large family in the cultivation world, the Lei family's mansion is naturally magnificent and majestic. Guards in armor stood on both sides of the gate. When they saw the second young master Lei and Luo Dan coming, they all saluted.

Lei Ershao nodded and took Luo Dan into the mansion. Along the way, he kept introducing the history and background of the Lei family, as well as the status and influence of the Lei family in the world of cultivation. Luo Dan listened and nodded to show his understanding. His expression was still as calm as water, as if he knew everything.

The two walked through several corridors and came to a spacious hall. The hall was filled with various precious ornaments and decorations, showing the wealth and status of the Lei family. Lei Ershao asked Luo Dan to sit down, and then ordered the servants to serve him tea and snacks.

"Mr. Luo, please wait a moment. I will go and get my family's treasure and let you witness its magic with your own eyes." said the Second Young Master Lei.

Luo Dan nodded to show his understanding. He was also full of anticipation, wanting to see what magic this treasure of the Lei family had. At the same time, he was also secretly observing the actions of the Second Young Master Lei, trying to find some clues from his words and actions.

When the concierge saw the man in the lead, he immediately recognized his identity. A trace of respect flashed in his eyes, and then he saluted respectfully, with a bit of respect and joy in his voice: "Second Young Master Lei, you are finally back. The master has been waiting for you for a long time. The master told us to keep an eye on the door early in the morning, saying that you, the second young master, will bring back distinguished guests today, and asked us to be prepared to receive them."

Lei Ershao smiled and nodded, indicating that he was satisfied with the doorman's words. He then looked at Luo Dan who was walking side by side with him and explained, "Mr. Luo, this is our doorman, Lao Li. He has worked in our family for decades and has always been loyal and dedicated. He is an old contributor to our family."

Upon hearing this, Lao Li quickly bowed to Luo Dan again and said respectfully: "Hello, distinguished guest, welcome to the Lei family. I am Lao Li, the doorman of the Lei family. If you need anything, please let me know. I will do my best to serve you."

Luo Dan smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation for Lao Li's politeness.

At this time, another doorman came forward, looked at Lei Ershao and Luo Dan curiously, and couldn't help asking: "Second Young Master, why didn't you take a sedan chair back? Why did you walk all the way back? The weather is not cool, it must be tiring to walk back."

Lei Ershao smiled, patted the doorman on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. It's just a short distance anyway. Walking can be considered as exercise. Besides, the car you prepared is too small for two people. I not only came back by myself, but also brought back a distinguished guest. I can't let the distinguished guest squeeze in with me, right? That's ridiculous. Why don't we walk back together and enjoy the scenery along the way? Isn't it better?"

As he spoke, he moved aside to let Luo Dan in, and specifically instructed the doorman in front of him: "Remember, this is the distinguished guest that this young master has invited to our home, Young Master Luo Dan. You must not neglect him, and treat him as a distinguished guest of our Lei family. Why don't you quickly invite the distinguished guest in and let the master and the mistress meet him."

When the doorman heard this, he immediately understood what Young Master Lei meant and quickly nodded in agreement. He turned and ran towards the mansion, shouting as he ran: "Master, Madam, Young Master Lei is back! He brought back a distinguished guest! Come out and greet him!"

His voice echoed in the Lei family mansion, attracting the servants in the mansion to run out to see what was going on. Lei Ershao and Luo Dan walked slowly, enjoying this rare tranquility and leisure.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Lei family's hall. The hall was brightly lit and gorgeously decorated, obviously specially arranged to welcome distinguished guests. Master Lei and Mrs. Lei had already come out upon hearing the noise and stood at the entrance of the hall waiting for their arrival.

When the second young master Lei saw his parents, he immediately quickened his pace and walked forward to greet them. Luo Dan followed closely and bowed to Master Lei and Madam Lei to show his respect and courtesy.

Master Lei and Madam Lei looked at Luo Dan in front of them, with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes. They knew that the distinguished guest who could be taken home by Master Lei with such great attention must be no ordinary person. So, they warmly welcomed Luo Dan, invited him to the hall and took a seat, and ordered the servants to serve him tea and snacks.

The concierge glanced at Luo Dan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He thought to himself that this distinguished guest looked young, but he had an extraordinary temperament, which made people want to take a few more glances. But since the host said he was a distinguished guest, he, as a servant, naturally couldn't say anything, so he bowed and nodded without saying anything, leading the way in front, with an extremely respectful attitude. "Dear guest, please, may I know your name..." The concierge asked carefully as he walked. He knew very well that in the world of cultivation, asking for someone's name was a very cautious thing, and if not done properly, it would offend people. But since the host said he was a distinguished guest, he naturally had to show due courtesy and respect.

After hearing this, Lei Er Shao also realized that he didn't know the name of this young friend yet, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He glanced at Luo Dan, smiled apologetically, and said, "Young friend, I am really stupid. It has been such a long time, and I have never asked your name. I wonder what your name is..."

Luo Dan smiled slightly. He didn't care about Lei Er Shao's negligence. After all, they had not known each other for long. He bowed to Lei Er Shao and left only two simple words: "Luo Dan."

When the doorman heard this, he immediately repeated the name several times in his mind, fearing that he had remembered it wrong. He turned to look at Luo Dan, with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Luo, please follow me. Our master and mistress have been waiting in the hall for a long time. They will definitely be very happy to see you."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and led Luo Dan and Lei Er Shao to the hall. Along the way, he kept introducing the history and background of the Lei family to Luo Dan, as well as the status and influence of the Lei family in the world of cultivation. Luo Dan listened patiently, nodding occasionally to show his understanding.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the hall. The concierge gently opened the door and motioned Luo Dan and Lei Er Shao to go in. The hall was brightly lit and gorgeously decorated. In the center was an exquisite tea table filled with all kinds of precious snacks and fruits.

Master Lei and Madam Lei had already stood up upon hearing the voice, and they greeted Luo Dan and the Second Young Master Lei with smiles on their faces. Master Lei was the first to speak: "It is a great honor for our Lei family to have such distinguished guests here! Young Master Luo, I have long heard of your great name, and seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."

Luo Dan smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation for Master Lei's politeness. He knew in his heart that although Master Lei's words were a bit polite, they were enough to show that the Lei family valued and respected him.

Mrs. Lei also came forward, took Luo Dan's hand affectionately, and said: "Mr. Luo, you are so handsome and polite. I really don't know how our second young master had the honor of meeting you. It is really a blessing for our second young master!"

Luo Dan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this. He quickly pulled his hand back and replied respectfully, "Madam, you are too kind. It is my honor to meet the Second Young Master Lei. I have heard of the reputation of the Lei family in the cultivation world. It is my blessing to be able to visit today."

As they spoke, they all sat down. Master Lei immediately ordered the servants to serve the best tea to Luo Dan, and a pleasant conversation began.

Luo Dan, Lei Ershao chewed on the name. It was really an ordinary name, and there was no special charm in it. Moreover, he quickly searched in his mind and it seemed that he was not a descendant of a noble family. He really didn't know who he was. He secretly wondered in his heart, could this Master Luo be the disciple of some hidden master, or the best in some small sect?
However, Lei Ershao thought about it and realized that there have always been big shots who use pseudonyms when traveling abroad, and they have the habit of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Maybe this Mr. Luo is also like this. He looks ordinary on the surface, but in fact he has special skills and is a rare talent.

Thinking of this, Lei Er Shao became even more curious about Luo Dan, and he decided to find out more about this Young Master Luo. However, no matter which possibility it was, Lei Er Shao couldn't neglect him, after all, he was a distinguished guest he brought back, and if he offended him, it would be a bad ending.

"My name is Lei Chong. I feel like we've known each other for a long time when I met you, Mr. Luo!" Mr. Lei said enthusiastically, with a smile on his face. "Mr. Luo, please don't be polite. Come in, please."

Luo Dan nodded slightly at him, and indeed walked in with big strides without being polite. His steps were steady and powerful, and he seemed very confident. Lei Chong followed behind him, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart that this Mr. Luo was indeed extraordinary.

Behind them followed a group of servants, all of whom bowed their heads and were very respectful. The rules of the Lei Chong family were strict, and the servants did not dare to slack off. Because the gatekeeper had already said that they were going to see the master, they turned a corner and walked towards the main hall.

Along the way, Lei Chong kept introducing the Lei family's buildings and layout, as well as the Lei family's status and influence in the world of cultivation. Luo Dan listened patiently, nodding occasionally to show his understanding. He knew in his heart that Lei Chong was showing him the strength of the Lei family, and indirectly telling him that the Lei family was not someone he could easily offend.

However, Luo Dan did not feel pressured by this. He believed that his strength and wisdom were enough to cope with any challenge. He smiled and said to Lei Chong: "Second Master Lei, you are so polite. Although I am not talented, I also know etiquette. It is my honor to visit the Lei family today."

Lei Chong was even happier when he heard this. He could see that Luo Dan was a well-educated and polite person, which made him like Luo Dan even more. They continued walking and soon arrived at the door of the main hall.

In the main hall, Master Lei and Madam Lei had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Luo Dan and Lei Chong coming in, they immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile on their faces. A lively meeting began like this, and everyone in the Lei family was full of curiosity and expectations about this mysterious Master Luo.

"Mr. Luo, I need to meet my father later, please come with me." Lei Chong said with sincerity, and a bit of expectation in his tone, "It happens that all the Luo family members are here, so let everyone get to know you. Maybe, you are our family's benefactor." At this point, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself that if the other party agreed to hand over the dragon blood, then he would indeed be a great benefactor. After all, the dragon blood was the key to the Lei family's rise and fall.

Luo Dan raised his chin slightly after hearing this, but did not comment. His expression was indifferent, as if he did not care about the head of the Lei family he was about to meet, or perhaps he had his own plans in mind, but was unwilling to show them in front of others. His eyes were deep and unpredictable, as if they contained endless stories and secrets.

Lei Chong took in all of this and became even more curious about Luo Dan's origins. (End of this chapter)
