Many times, a person can become two extremes.

Either a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering or a demon that destroys heaven and earth.

Liu Zixuan considers himself, though not a gentleman, neither a scoundrel.

In his eyes, as long as no one touches his soft spot, he is a Bodhisattva. But if someone does touch it, not even being cursed as a demon by the world would deter him.

If this time, upon returning to Celestial Capital, he sees that those close to him are doing well, he might even help families and forces looking to rise, after all, he has that capability.

But the very first scene he sees is someone bullying his woman, how could he endure that?

This afternoon, of course, Liu Zixuan wasn’t just going to chat with Little Sixth Master and Diwu Qingfeng, taking the chance, he teased Diwu Qingrou and Bei Meiyin in front of the other beauties.

One of them originally gentle and obedient, the other fiery, but after Liu Zixuan’s teasing, both had reddened cheeks.

If the young masters of Celestial Capital saw this, they’d be shocked, jaws dropping.

Diwu Qingrou, well-mannered and sensible, is almost the center of attention among the young circle, but has always been running her small shop, never interacting with other men, yet now she looks shy, eyes filled with affection.

And Bei Meiyin, she is currently a rising star in the Celestial Capital business world, aside from being a top figure in the antique world, she also dabbles in other industries, definitely a super wealthy woman. Many men desire to fall at her feet.

But alas, the fiery-tempered Bei Meiyin has always been dismissive of her suitors, even giving a big slap to those who go too far, showing no mercy.

Yet in front of Liu Zixuan, she is very much like a little woman, who would believe this if told!

Amid the chatting, Liu Zixuan’s phone suddenly rang urgently.

It was from Xiao Linzi.

"Boss Xuan, the West City Boss Niu tried to run but our brothers caught him, He Family’s patriarch tried to ambush our people and had his legs disabled, they’re all at the city outskirts now."

Liu Zixuan asked: "Have you found the people behind Shi Kuang?"

"Interestingly, they’re also in the city outskirts, they probably heard we were looking for them, a group is hiding in a small inn called ’Little Town Impression.’ I had a few brothers check it out, the innkeeper has changed, no doubt that’s their stronghold," Xiao Linzi said.

"Stay put, I’ll be over soon!" Liu Zixuan said and directly hung up the call.

He then looked at Little Sixth Master and Diwu Qingfeng: "The so-called background behind Shi Kuang is the Shi Family, one of the Eight Great Powers of the Star Sea. When I killed Shi Kuang before, by his tone, he should belong to the Shi Family’s outer sect, those hiding at the outskirts now should be part of the Stone Gate’s direct lineage, it’s quite the big catch, are you two interested in checking it out?"

Little Sixth Master grinned: "Celestial Capital hasn’t been this lively in a long time, of course, I must go see the scene."

"I will join as well, good to stretch a bit, might eat more tonight," Diwu Qingfeng chuckled.

"You ladies should stay here," Liu Zixuan said to the group of beauties.

"Why?" Bai Jingjing asked displeased.

"Girls should stay home, cook, and keep the bed warm, no need to see the fighting," Liu Zixuan waved them off, heading out with Little Sixth Master and Diwu Qingfeng.

Watching them leave, Bai Jingjing grumbled unhappily: "He really treats us like vases."

"Alright, it’s not that he means that, just doesn’t want us to see anything unsightly," Ying Qingning said with a smile.

Liu Ruyan hooked her arm with Bai Jingjing’s and smiled: "Some things are just for the men to handle, let’s chat with Sister Anan and Meiyin."

Liu Ruyan’s words are spot on; some things are inherently for men to handle!

...

Celestial Capital West City Suburbs.

It’s winter, and after a heavy snowstorm a few days ago, the highway was temporarily closed, so there are no vehicles or pedestrians around.

The quiet suburbs, come this afternoon, became lively again.

Liu Zixuan drove with Little Sixth Master and Diwu Qingfeng, the cars following them brought by the two bigwigs, in total five cars, about thirty to forty people.

Everyone got out not far from the Little Town Impression inn. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Xiao Linzi quickly came over and said: "Brother Xuan, those who tried to escape are waiting in that big pit."

"Where are the other big shots?" Liu Zixuan asked.

Xiao Linzi glanced around, whispered, and laughed: "Those guys are scared, worried you’d eliminate them, so they’re nervously deploying their people around here, just surrounding the Little Town Impression to try to flatter you."

"They do have some sense." Liu Zixuan nodded with a smile.

"Inside are about thirteen or fourteen people, two at the front desk, one at the back door, the others are on the second floor, some playing cards, some sleeping, some chasing girls, that’s about the situation."

Xiao Linzi shrugged: "The brothers we sent are of lower realms, so we don’t know the level of those upstairs, the three at the front desk and back door are just Profound Realm Martial Artists, nothing to worry about."

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "Being able to manipulate Shi Kuang from the shadows, they must be people within the Shi Family, and their strength shouldn’t be too low."

However, no matter how strong they are, so what? Liu Zixuan doesn’t fear the Willow Association’s ancestor’s rules, but the people of the Eight Great Powers heed them to some extent, there definitely won’t be Emperor Realm experts here.

Although Liu Zixuan is only at the Peak of Imperial Realm, below the Emperor Realm, he fears no one!

"How are we going to do this now?" Xiao Linzi asked eagerly.

Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes slightly: "The festive season is near, let the brothers work swiftly, finish this off quickly, and celebrate a good New Year together."

"Got it!" With that, Xiao Linzi ran towards the Little Town Impression, calling out those bigwigs to rush in with their people.

Just as Liu Zixuan expected, with these people upfront and Shadow Guards at the back door, those warriors on the second floor quickly jumped out of the windows.

Looking around, intending to make a run for it, but they were caught right by Xiao Linzi’s people.

Seeing the situation under control, Liu Zixuan, hands in pockets, leisurely walked over.

Surrounded by Xiao Linzi, eight Martial Artists, five or six of them were still relatively okay, while among the three or four in the middle, clothes were disheveled, and one was almost naked, looking very embarrassed.

Liu Zixuan crossed his arms and mockingly asked: "Which one of you is the big fish?"
