Li Guo'an approached the group of wealthy individuals, leaned on his walking stick, and said indifferently, "Young fellows, you all had better leave quickly. We native farmers fancy this land and have no grand ambitions. To live a quiet life is a blessing. You should accumulate some virtue instead of harming your descendants for money that you cannot bring along at birth or take away at death."
The rich men, expecting Li Guo'an to speak some polite words out of fear, were taken aback.
To their surprise, Li Guo'an started his encounter with them by giving a moral lesson. With just one sentence from the old man, the dignity they had built with their money was instantly shattered.
What astonished them even more was the look in the old man's eyes as he watched them; it was a profound indifference as if he saw through the mundane world. In front of him, they felt like transparent paper.
