Chapter 51

Liu Cheng's face changed, and his outstretched hands quickly retracted as if they had touched something scalding hot.

"Get lost!" Gu Fan spat out another word.

Liu Cheng's expression was unpredictable. Just now, he felt an intense danger enveloping him, forcing him to withdraw his hands in fear. But now, that sense of danger had vanished. This made Liu Cheng uncertain, unsure if his previous feeling was just an illusion.

But to leave just like that, Liu Cheng was truly unwilling. Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin were too tempting, and Liu Cheng could no longer hold back.

With a determined heart, Liu Cheng slapped Gu Fan directly.

Regardless of where that sense of danger came from, the fact that Gu Fan had told him to "get lost" twice was enough reason not to let him off.

He had to make him understand why the saying "disaster comes from the mouth" exists!

Gu Fan's face turned cold. This person not only wanted to snatch Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin in public but also dared to attack him. He had truly become lawless to the extreme.

Judging by the force of that slap, if Gu Fan were just an ordinary person, he wouldn't have been able to dodge it, and being half-killed would have been the least of it. His attack was so vicious!

Gu Fan's fingers flicked slightly, and a thread of spiritual energy shot out.

When facing a vicious person, your response must be even more vicious, so he can realize the gravity of his mistake.

Liu Cheng suddenly let out a shrill scream, his face filled with fear, which then turned to resentment.

"You, you..." He pointed at Gu Fan, his resentment growing stronger.

"Still not repenting even now, it seems my decision was right!" Gu Fan shook his head inwardly. That thread of spiritual energy had broken his dantian, turning him from a martial artist into an ordinary person. This was Gu Fan's vicious response.

He was vicious because of his status and strength as a martial artist. Gu Fan would take away these things at their root, to see how he would bully others in the future.

"Senior Brother!" Liu Cheng stepped back, screaming.

Zhu Wu had already rushed over when Liu Cheng screamed, and he now supported the unsteady Liu Cheng.

"Senior Brother, my dantian has been destroyed!" Liu Cheng's face twisted with resentment.

Zhu Wu's face changed drastically, looking at Gu Fan with a murderous expression. He said in a deep voice, "Sir, you've gone too far, haven't you?"

"Too far?" Gu Fan said coldly. "When he acted, did he consider whether it was too far? Take him and get lost now..."

"Being a martial artist with a destroyed dantian is worse than being killed... You are so cruel. I will remember this, and our Yi Wu Men will not let this go!" Zhu Wu pulled Liu Cheng back slowly.

Gu Fan frowned. Yi Wu Men? Was this a martial arts sect?

There were too many martial arts sects and families in the country, and Gu Fan spent most of his time in seclusion, so he couldn't possibly know everything about the circle!

But Gu Fan was sure that this Yi Wu Men was not very powerful and definitely not among the top martial arts sects or families. Otherwise, he wouldn't be hearing this name for the first time.

While Gu Fan was thinking, Zhu Wu, who was retreating, suddenly struck with a palm, a scorching wave of energy heading straight for Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin.

At the same time, he moved like an arrow, holding a short blade that glinted coldly, aiming directly for Gu Fan's throat.

These actions were completed in an instant, seamlessly. Attacking Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin to draw Gu Fan's attention, forcing him to rescue them, and then launching a swift and sudden attack. It was clear that Zhu Wu had rich combat experience to think of and execute these strategies in such a short time.

Gu Fan's eyes turned cold, and he flicked his finger, sending out a thread of spiritual energy to block the palm aimed at Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin. Then, he reached out and lightly pinched, grabbing Zhu Wu's short blade.

No matter how Zhu Wu struggled, he couldn't budge it at all.

"A mere human-level martial artist dares to act so lawlessly, plundering and robbing. I see that your Yi Wu Men is no good. I will destroy your cultivation, hoping you will repent and start anew!" Gu Fan said coldly, then kicked Zhu Wu's dantian, releasing spiritual energy to completely destroy it.

A martial artist with a destroyed dantian was no longer a martial artist and had no chance of re-cultivating.

Zhu Wu's face turned ashen, filled with the same resentment as Liu Cheng.

Clearly, their hatred for Gu Fan had reached an unbearable level.

Gu Fan sighed slightly.

His master said that all enemies must be eliminated, and one must never be merciful. Liu Cheng and Zhu Wu were not just enemies; their resentful expressions were like those of beasts ready to devour someone. If left alone, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

Such enemies should be eliminated!

But now that both had been stripped of their dantian and were no longer martial artists, Gu Fan found it hard to bring himself to kill them.

Even if this would cause him trouble, he couldn't cross that psychological barrier.

"Get lost!" Gu Fan waved his hand.

"You wait, our Yi Wu Men will not let you off!" Zhu Wu and Liu Cheng left quickly, still aware that Gu Fan might kill them. Taking advantage of the crowd, he seemed hesitant, and if they didn't leave now, they might never be able to.

"Senior Brother..."

"Don't talk, call the master, we need to take revenge!"

Gu Fan frowned and sat down, sighing lightly.

He heard their conversation clearly but chose to remain silent.

"Perhaps only by experiencing it can I truly understand my master's words. Let me indulge myself this once!" Gu Fan muttered to himself, his eyes shining with confidence.

What can Yi Wu Men do if they come for revenge? I will deal with it as it comes.

"Why aren't you eating? Are you full?" Gu Fan, no longer thinking about it, noticed that Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin were looking at him, and he smiled shyly.

"What to eat! Look around!" Chu Xiaowei said. "Let's go!"

Gu Fan turned and looked. Indeed, the entire restaurant was watching them.

Seeing Gu Fan look over, the crowd quickly averted their gaze. Liu Cheng and Zhu Wu were tall and strong, yet Gu Fan had easily dealt with them.

They didn't know what martial artists or cultivators were, but they knew Gu Fan was not someone to provoke.

If they angered him, they might end up with a beating, which would be disastrous.

"Let's go then!" Gu Fan smiled shyly again. In such a situation, how could they continue to eat in peace?

"Waiter, come and pack this for us!" Chen Jiaxin didn't want to give up the food. The money spent was secondary; the dishes were barely touched, and wasting such delicious food was, in her view, the most unforgivable crime in the world.

"Still thinking about eating!" Chu Xiaowei was speechless.

"Sister Xiaowei, aren't you hungry?" Chen Jiaxin said matter-of-factly. "If you're still hungry, you should eat first!"

The waiter quickly packed the food.

The three of them then left.

As soon as they left, the restaurant erupted in chatter.

In the car, Gu Fan immediately left the service area, not caring about Liu Cheng and Zhu Wu's whereabouts.

However, Liu Cheng and Zhu Wu were hiding in the shadows, watching Gu Fan's car and noting down his license plate number.

Eating in the car wasn't as convenient as at the table, but Chen Jiaxin still enjoyed it.

Chu Xiaowei, however, didn't touch her chopsticks. Her beautiful eyes stared at Gu Fan, as if she didn't recognize him.

"Sister Xiaowei, if you don't eat, everything will be finished by Sister Jiaxin!" Gu Fan had to remind Chu Xiaowei.

"Right, Sister Xiaowei, why aren't you eating?" Chen Jiaxin asked in surprise.

"Aren't you curious?" Chu Xiaowei looked at the carefree Chen Jiaxin, a bit speechless.

"Curious!" Chen Jiaxin said.

"Curious, and you can still eat?" Chu Xiaowei was astonished.

"Of course, eating first makes it easier to ask questions. If someone doesn't talk, they'll face the eighteen tortures!" Chen Jiaxin said with a smile.

Chu Xiaowei suddenly understood. So that was her plan!

"I'll eat too, but slowly, leave some for me!" Chu Xiaowei suddenly felt very hungry and joined the fight for food. However, she had realized it a bit late, and Chen Jiaxin had already eaten most of the food.

It was hard to understand how Chen Jiaxin's small stomach could hold so much food, and didn't she fear gaining weight? Girls usually feared that, but it seemed Chen Jiaxin had some unusual qualities.

Soon, the packed food was devoured. As for Gu Fan, the two girls didn't even ask if he wanted to eat.

After tidying up and resting a bit, they whispered to each other for a while, then fixed their gaze on Gu Fan.

"Let's be honest, Brother Gu Fan!" Chen Jiaxin said with a smile.

"You should know how dangerous it was for you in the service area restaurant, right? I saved you. Otherwise, you can imagine how tragic your fate would have been. In such a situation, are you going to repay kindness with ingratitude? How is that different from the girl you wanted to punish this morning? I don't want to say it, but you're forcing me to... Is it true that good deeds bring no good rewards?" Gu Fan's voice was low, his face full of sorrow.

Gu Fan's words left Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin stunned.

They knew that if it weren't for Gu Fan, Liu Cheng and Zhu Wu would have done something terrible to them. They were deeply grateful to Gu Fan.

But gratitude was one thing, and curiosity was another!

Now, Gu Fan had combined gratitude and curiosity, putting them in a corner.

Especially when he mentioned the morning incident, the words "repaying kindness with ingratitude" kept flashing in their minds.
