Someone is Looking for Trouble... or Not?

Di Cheng frowns as he heard about rumors going around this small city. He heard there is a mortal restaurant in this city who was proclaiming they are cooking Demon Beasts meat.

It is impossible for a mortal to actually do something like that. Even if the Demon Beasts dies, their corpse are still very hard. It can't be penetrated by mere mortal items or strength.

Cooking Demon Beasts meat also needs a specialized knowledge. Everything will turn into dirt if a mortal tries cooking it using mortal means. A cultivator is the only capable one who can cook things like that.

And it's obvious that no cultivator will work on a place for mortals. That will be an insult to every cultivators that walks on this world.

As an outer sect disciple from a righteous sect, he has to do something about it!

"I, Di Cheng, will unveil the scummy bastard who dares fools the citizens of this humble city!" He swore to himself, as his eyes turns to the direction where he heard the restaurant is located.

He didn't learn any new abilities in these past few days. Mostly focusing on strengthening his cultivation level and getting to the next realm. He thinks he might be able to use that cliff cave he used on the past to breakthrough to the next realm. It is hidden and there are no beasts on it's vicinity.

Though, those plans are for the future. For now he thinks this strength is enough to be comfortable for a few days. He has a lot of demon beasts stocks due to always hunting on the forest on a nightly basis. He thinks he can stay on the city for some months before running out of ingredients.

As for his life, he is living happily. His good friends Bai Luo and Old Wang has started cultivating through the books of Qi Manipulating. He only manages to wrote the eleventh volume, and he will be doing the next volume this coming night after he is done with his shop.

Currently, he is busily taking care of his customers. Most of them has become regulars now. They are always happy as they can get to eat something very delicious, and it's also made from the Demon Beasts corpses. Some of his customers even took their children to eat here in hopes to awaken their Spiritual Roots or something.

He doesn't really care about their reasons. So long as he is making his customers satisfied and he was profiting from it, he is happy with it.

"Right... this is how life should be!" He muttered to himself. Feeling happy that he is experiencing what he envisioned as a normal and peaceful life.

And then it was ruined when someone suddenly kicks the door open. His smiling face froze as he stares at the person who rudely enters the shop, and causes his other customers to be distracted and look at him.

"I heard this place is serving Demon Beast meat! I want to see if it's the truth! Where is the owner of this place?"

He can already see the arrogance on this person who has a handsome face and sharp brows. His long hair sways heroically behind him as his blue robe flaps mysteriously. He has the arrogant posture of a young master who seems to think he is doing something righteous.

He can see that the person is carrying a sword behind him, so it is natural to think that whoever this rude person is might be a Cultivator.

'Is he looking for trouble?' He thought with a frown within his mind, while externally he greeted him with a strained smile. "Greetings, esteemed customer. I am the owner of this Zhou Pavilion, Zhou Lin. How may I help you?"

He is always polite to his visitors, though he is already prepared if this person does something drastic. He can't just let others bully him after all.

The sword cultivator glances at him, before gawking at his appearance. Zhou Lin looks more like an immortal than him, which makes it understandable why he is even surprise.

'What.... a Cultivator? But I can't sense his presence with my Divine Sense at all!? How did that happen? Don't tell me.....' His eyes widened at that, before his face turned pale.

Di Cheng thought that he will be revealing some scummy mortal who is swindling his fellow mortals for some money. Seeing him though, and he can't even sense his Cultivation makes his spine shudder in fear.

'F*ck! I offended a hidden expert!'

It's the only reasonable explanation why he can't even sense his Cultivation despite being near him. The guy is much stronger than him.

"Sir, do you have any problems with my shop?" Zhou Lin doesn't know what's going on with his mind. The only thing he can see is that the person's mouth is slacked as he stares at him.

Di Cheng blinks his eyes after hearing him, before immediately straightening his posture. His arrogant atmosphere immediately disappearing and being replaced with a meek and polite air.

"N-no.... I j-just got curious about this shop... there are no other meanings..."

Zhou Lin immediately becomes doubtful with that. 'What no other meanings? You just kicked the door of my pavilion, you bastard!' He thought. Externally he smiled at him. "If there are no problems, then you can take a seat and order something. You seem to doubt the authenticity of my shop, so I'll have to prove that my food is truly made from Demon Beasts." He added, while his eyes glints a bit maliciously.

Di Cheng became more scared at that. He is imagining just how this guy is going to humiliate him.

He is just a 6th Stage Human Realm Cultivator. How can he contend against this mysterious owner who seems to have a boundless strength he can't even fathom.

"Uh... Senior, I admit my mistake. Please just let me go..." He can't help but say that pathetically.

The other customers who got interrupted with his arrogant entrance awhile ago looks at the scene with amusement and confusion. They can't help but think in their minds.

'Is this comedy?'

The person suddenly becomes meek when he saw the handsome owner. Just what kind of arrogant troublemaker is he when he suddenly tucked his tail underneath him just by seeing the one he is troubling? Isn't that ridiculous?

Zhou Lin is also looking at the guy with a perplexed look. He can't help but look at him as if he was a weird alien.

'Is this guy truly looking for trouble.... or is he trying to let us laugh?' He thought with a raised eyebrow.
