Liu Xiaoyuan left the hotel and drove his car to Tang Xuan's house. Liu Xiaoyuan was afraid that Shi Feng might retaliate against Tang Xuan because of the abuse he had suffered that morning.
Upon arriving at Tang Xuan's home, Liu Xiaoyuan got out of the car and rushed inside. There, he saw Shi Feng and an elderly man in his sixties sitting in the main room of Tang Xuan's house.
"Where are Tang Xuan and her daughter?" Liu Xiaoyuan did not find Tang Xuan and her daughter in the main room and assumed that Shi Feng and the old man had harmed them.
The old man said, "They are in the room. Don't worry, we are not the kind of people who kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Hearing the old man's words, Liu Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Tang Xuan and her daughter were alright, that was all that mattered.
"Grandpa, it's this kid. Not only did he steal my girlfriend, but he also hit me. Look, this is where he hurt my right hand," Shi Feng said angrily, pointing at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Shi Feng's grandfather looked at his grandson and then said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "This young man is quite well-built."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at his master's grandfather and was surprised to find that he was a master of the third level of the Innate Realm. "Damn it, there's a master of the third level of the Innate Realm in the neighboring town?" Liu Xiaoyuan found it unbelievable.
To be honest, as his cultivation level increased, Liu Xiaoyuan found that there were more and more experts around him. Perhaps this was because his status had changed, and the people he encountered were different.
This situation is like a rich person only having things to talk about with other rich people, and having nothing in common with someone who farms.
"You're quite capable, with the cultivation of the third level of the Innate Realm," Liu Xiaoyuan said casually.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the old man immediately became uneasy. What? This kid could actually see through his cultivation level, while he couldn't see through Liu Xiaoyuan's abilities.
Could this kid be even more skilled than me? According to an ancestral record, those above the third level of the Innate Realm are the legendary cultivators.
Could this kid be a cultivator? Impossible! How could there be a cultivator in my area?
Shi Feng's grandfather kept thinking about various possibilities, but he couldn't find a definite answer.
"Young man, are you a cultivator?" Shi Feng's grandfather asked uncertainly.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "If you say it is, then it is; if you say it isn't, then it isn't!"
Shi Feng's grandfather was even more confused by Liu Xiaoyuan's ambiguous words, feeling that Liu Xiaoyuan was even more unpredictable.
"This kid actually knows about cultivators, and he wasn't surprised at all when he heard the word 'cultivator.' It seems he is undoubtedly a cultivator." Shi Feng's grandfather finally made his judgment in his heart.
Shi Feng, however, was completely oblivious. Seeing his grandfather was wasting so much time talking to Liu Xiaoyuan, he immediately said, "Grandpa, why waste so much time talking to this kid? With your skills, you could cripple even ten of these kids!"
Shi Feng's grandfather stood up abruptly, walked over to his grandson, raised his hand, and slapped Shi Feng across the face.
A sharp, grating slap echoed through the room.
"Shut up!" Shi Feng's grandfather roared.
If Liu Xiaoyuan is truly a cultivator, then even ten of me wouldn't be a match for this young man.
Shi Feng looked completely bewildered at his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, why did you hit me? Did I say something wrong?"
When Shi Feng's grandfather saw that his grandson still didn't know what he had done wrong, he angrily said, "Quickly apologize to this young man, hurry up!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng thought he had misheard. His grandfather actually wanted him to apologize to this guy? How could that be? Was his grandfather suffering from dementia?
"Grandpa, what did you say? I didn't understand. Grandpa, can you say it again?" Shi Feng couldn't help but ask.
"I'm telling you to apologize to this young man!" Shi Feng's grandfather slapped Shi Feng again, this time with great force.
Don't be fooled by how hard Shi Feng's grandfather hit him; he was actually protecting his grandson. If Liu Xiaoyuan really was a cultivator, then offending a cultivator could mean certain death.
So, compared to losing my life, getting slapped twice was the best outcome.
After being slapped twice by his grandfather, Shi Feng wasn't stupid anymore. He knew that even his grandfather was afraid of this kid. The thought of having offended someone even his grandfather was afraid of made Shi Feng tremble with fear.
"Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have tried to eat swan meat like a toad. Big brother, don't worry, I will never bother Tang Xuan again..."
Shi Feng immediately apologized to Liu Xiaoyuan, and while he was speaking, he was crying and sniffling.
Liu Xiaoyuan ignored Shi Feng and looked at his grandfather, saying, "Old man, you've lived a long life. Do you think that if someone makes a mistake, it can be forgiven with just a few words?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng's grandfather was startled, knowing that Liu Xiaoyuan did not intend to let his grandson off so easily.
"Young man, what do you plan to do? Tell us, and we'll definitely fulfill your request if it's within our capabilities," Shi Feng's grandfather asked humbly.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "First, bring Tang Xuan and her daughter out here. I want to see if they've been hurt!"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Shi Feng's grandfather immediately instructed his grandson to invite Tang Xuan and her daughter.
A short while later, Tang Xuan and her daughter came out. Liu Xiaoyuan noticed that both of them had deep marks on their hands, which indicated that they had been tied up.
"Auntie, Tang Xuan, are you alright?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at Tang Xuan and her daughter.
Tang Xuan said, "Xiao Yuan, I'm fine, it's just that my mom was a little frightened."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan looked over and saw that Tang Xuan's mother was deathly pale, probably due to extreme shock.
Indeed, anyone would be scared if two strangers suddenly walked into their house, tied them up, and prevented from speaking.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay, Auntie!" Liu Xiaoyuan comforted her.
Tang Xuan's mother looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and felt a little more at ease, saying, "Xiaoyuan, I'm relieved to see you here!"
"Auntie, I'm here, nothing will happen," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"Tang Xuan, take your mother inside." Liu Xiaoyuan told Tang Xuan to help his mother into the house first, and that he would settle the score with Shi Feng and his grandson later.
“Young man, we were indeed in the wrong, but we didn’t hurt the mother and daughter. If you’re not satisfied, we can compensate you with money,” Shi Feng’s grandfather said immediately when he saw Liu Xiaoyuan’s expression change.
