Dual Cultivation

"Hey, hey, hey! Young Lady! Why are you sharing a table with another man? Are you cheating on Young Master Lin Minghai already?!" This group of troublemakers approached the table with wide smiles on their faces.

"Young Master Lin Minghai will be heartbroken when he learns of this!"

"Hey, brat! Who are you? Do you know whose woman you are messing with?!"

"..."

Tian Yanyu didn't say anything, and her gaze remained on Yuan the whole time, as she didn't want to miss any of his movements.

'Now, what are you going to do, Yuan? If you cannot even handle a few hooligans, the Lin Family will definitely be out of your reach.' She pondered inwardly.

Yuan casually turned to look at the hooligans and spoke in a calm voice, "I'm sorry, but I wasn't expecting any more guests. Also, when was the last time you guys changed clothes? You all smell like rotten eggs and dog feces together. I would appreciate it if you can be more considerate to others, especially since we're inside a restaurant where people come to eat."

"Y-You bastard…"

The hooligans' faces flushed with redness after hearing Yuan's insults, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

However, before they could even utter a single word, Yuan continued to speak, "My food will be here soon. If you're not gone by then, don't blame me for being rude."

"Oh? And what the fuck are you going to do if we don't leave?" The hooligan leading the group asked Yuan with a malicious grin on his face.

"Feng Feng, I don't want their blood to dirty the place I am going to eat at. Can you deal with it without making a mess? Oh, leave one of them alive." Yuan suddenly said in a low voice.

"It would be my pleasure, Young Master."

Several orbs of flames suddenly emerged from Yuan's body and flew towards the group of hooligans, and before they could even react, their bodies were immediately engulfed with flames.

In less than a second, all but one of the hooligans were burnt until there was nothing left of them, leaving behind no mess or blood.

Everyone in the restaurant was shocked by what they had just witnessed, but they were also puzzled, as they couldn't comprehend the situation.

After Feng Yuxiang killed most of the hooligans, Yuan turned to look at the last one and asked in a calm voice, "Who hired you to mess with the Tian Family? If you don't speak truthfully, you will end up just like your friends— erased."

"I-I don't know! I swear! I am just a lowly lackey following orders! Please, you have to believe me!" The young man got on his knees and begged Yuan.

"Then tell me about your order." Yuan then said.

"Yes! We, the Stone Bandits, were hired to disturb the Tian Family's businesses until they shut down!"

"And you don't know who hired you?"

"No!"

"Then who does?"

"That would be the leaders!"

"And where can I find these leaders?"

"T-That's…" The young bandit hesitated to answer this question, as he would also be killed by his peers for revealing the location of their base.

"If you tell me, I will not only let you live, but I will even make sure the Stone Bandits won't be able to harm you. A pretty good deal, don't you think so?" Yuan said.

"I-I am willing to tell you." The young bandit nodded after a moment of silence.

Since he was going to die either way, he might as well accept Yuan's request that will, at the very least, give him a chance to survive.

"Very well. You can bring me to your hideout after we're done eating here. Until then, go wait outside. I wasn't joking when I said that you all stink." Yuan said.

"I-I understand!" The young bandit immediately jumped to his feet, but before he could go anywhere, Yuan's voice resounded again.

"Oh, right. One more thing. If you're thinking about running away, you will immediately be killed. My divine sense covers a good chunk of this city, so unless you can outrun my divine sense, I suggest you stay put and wait for us. Do you understand?"

"I-I wouldn't dare to run away from you!" The young bandit vigorously nodded his head.

"Good. Then I will see you in a bit."

The young bandit quickly scrambled out of the restaurant, but he didn't dare to wander too far away from the restaurant, as he feared that Yuan might mistake it as escaping.

And for the next hour, this young bandit wouldn't move a single step from this location, almost as if he'd turned into a stone statue.

"You… What was that just now?" Tian Yanyu asked him with an astonished look on her face after the bandit left.

"What? Are you not happy with the way I handled it?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"No, that's not it… Forget it. I didn't think you would resort to violence so quickly, especially after what you said about not wanting to shed unnecessary blood."

"I don't, hence why I killed them without spilling any blood." Yuan said with a joking smile on his face.

"I'm just joking. They are just a bunch of bandits who have been causing trouble for your family and countless other people for years. Nobody will care if I clean up some trash. Of course, if the Lin Family is willing to go to war over those hooligans, that would be a different story."

"Your appearance is quite deceptive, as you are more daring than your appearance suggests." Tian Yanyu mumbled with a slight smile on her face.

The waitress approached their table with their food a few minutes later, and they began eating the food shortly after, acting as though the whole situation with the hooligans just now didn't even happen.

Once they were finished, Yuan and the other two went outside to meet with the young bandit again.

"Alright. Bring me to your hideout." Yuan said.

"Yes!" The young bandit answered without hesitation.
