Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 61: Such A Proactive Achievement is Rare

“Who dares bully my brother?!” The leader of the thieves bellowed resoundingly and told his underlings to call the other party over. As their boss, if I don't reclaim some face and stand up for my underlings when they're wronged, how am I going to establish my authority in the future?

Emboldened by their leader backing them up, the thief instantly stood ramrod straight. Kicking the room next door open, he arrogantly hollered, “My boss says that we can't take it lying down after you've bullied me! He wants to talk to you. Whoever doesn't go is a coward of a grandson!”

The constables were flabbergasted. Over their decade of service, they had never encountered anyone so brazen as to outrightly challenge them.

Captain Wei shook his head and chuckled. With his vast experience, he had seen it all. It’s just provocation by a bunch of foolish brats who don’t know their place. Such petty cases that send themselves to my doorsteps are bound to crop up a few times in a constable’s career.

“Who’s scared of whom? Let’s go!”

The thieves cracked their knuckles and rolled their sleeves up for battle, eager to teach the other party a lesson. As they were new to the area, they figured that they couldn’t rely solely on thieving to make a name for themselves before joining a diabolic creed. It’s time for us to make our grand entrance!

All of a sudden, the thieves saw a group of constables burst in with their sabers brandished, their identity waist tablets hanging from their waists.

The constables were astonished to see the tables full of gold, silver, rare medicinal herbs, and spirit stones. Why do these things look so familiar? It seems like someone just reported these items missing?

The constables, “...”

Captain Wei, “...”

The thieves, “...”

“Would you believe me if I say that we picked these up by the roadside?”

Even Captain Wei had never experienced a situation like this before. It was his first time encountering criminals who voluntarily delivered themselves right into his hands.

Meanwhile, the thieves were still clueless about what was happening and were still clamoring for their boss to take action.

“Boss, show them who’s boss!”

The thief in question even talked big, “See my boss’ thinning hair? Every time he kills someone, he plucks out a strand of hair! He’s known as the Scourge of Ghosts in the jianghu!

“See the one with the eyepatch? That’s my second brother. He lost that eye when he fought with an Advanced Foundation Establishment expert. That expert also didn’t fare any better; my second brother blinded him in both eyes, earning the title of Fearless Second Brother in the jianghu!

“See my third brother’s leg? During a heist in the imperial palace, he was surrounded by a hundred guards; he escaped at the cost of his leg! People call him the Grassland Soarer in the jianghu!”

The big boss, second boss, and third boss simultaneously kicked the underling. You talk too much.

Captain Wei smiled sinisterly. “Didn’t you say that whoever doesn’t come is a grandson?” It’s precisely because of you lot that I have to work consecutive night shifts.

“I’m a grandson, I’m a grandson.” The thief’s leader trembled with fear.

The thieves no longer dared to make a move. Noticing that the door was blocked by the constables, they broke through the walls and fled, the noisy group running into the main hall.

Their strength lay in speed, while their abilities in direct combat were average, not to mention that they hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage; their big boss was only at the Level Nine Qi Training Stage.

The leader of the thieves commanded his people to scatter as they fled. “The group of you, run out from the front door; the rest of you, follow me through the back door!”

Lu Yang noticed the commotion and quickly figured out the situation, finding it rather amusing. “The thieves and constables are separated by just a wall, yet the thieves dare to provoke the constables?

“Wait, if they escape through the backyard, what if the constables discover the tiger-henchman ghosts?”

Lu Yang was swift in realizing the crux of the problem. If the tiger-henchman ghosts are annihilated, who’s going to barbecue the skewers? How are we going to continue operating the barbeque shop? How are we going to spy on Qin Yuanhao?

The big thief boss was stupefied to see Lu Yang blocking the door and reached out his hand to hurl Lu Yang away. The latter was holding a basin of Dough Drop Soup[1]. When he saw the big thief boss coming at him truculently, his hand trembled, spilling all the soup.

The thief leader didn’t expect such a turn of events. He conjured a layer of spirit energy as a barrier to block the Dough Drop Soup. With this brief delay, Captain Wei took out a snake-like iron chain and coiled it around the leader of the thieves.

“Go, catch the rest and bring them back. This meal is a worthy one.” Captain Wei felt refreshed as if the haze over him had been swept away. The troublesome band of thieves that has plagued us for days is now finally apprehended. What a blessing.

Captain Wei patted Lu Yang’s shoulders and laughed heartily. “If you hadn’t blocked the way, this brat would have really run away. You were a hero in standing up for what is right. Wait for it, I will award you with a silk banner tomorrow!”

Lu Yang hastily waved his hand and said it wasn’t necessary, but it wasn’t enough to change Constable Captain Wei’s mind. The latter was so elated that he insisted on giving Lu Yang the silk banner.

As the scuffle between the constables and thieves had caused quite a ruckus, damaging the walls and turning the main hall into a chaotic mess of smoke and dust, the diners could only leave early. However, they found it worthwhile that they had managed to witness the constables in action.

“One More Time Barbeque Shop is a really great place. The constables can catch people even while sitting.”

“It was worth coming here. You don’t get to see such a good show elsewhere even if you have the money.”

“This must be a place where good fortune accumulates. Their business is already booming in such a short span of time. Even if the food is delicious, this level of popularity is over the top; it definitely involves a certain degree of luck.”

“The fact that the constables could arrest those people today successfully proves this point.”

“It looks like I have to come by more often to have the luck rub off on me.”

“That makes sense. Let’s come together next time.”

Listening to the fading discussions, Lu Yang became pessimistic about the future of the barbeque shop.

It’s destined to become a big thing.

“When I send over the silk banner tomorrow, I’ll also bring the money for repairing the walls!” Constable Captain Wei waved at Lu Yang before taking the unlucky thieves away.

Lu Yang stood at the entrance and sighed. Suddenly, he noticed that Qin Yuanhao had left his estate once again.

“Brother Lu, Qin Yuanhao has left his estate again,” Man Gu transmitted an auditory message from the second floor. He was very conscientious with his task, not caring about everything that happened downstairs and only focusing on watching Qin Yuanhao’s actions.

“I’ve seen it. You and Jingzhou fix the damaged wall. I’ll follow Qin Yuanhao.”

“Understood.”

Lu Yang used Shrinking Earth to follow Qin Yuanhao once more.

Meng Jingzhou remarked from behind, “Lu Yang’s talent in spells is really strong. I tried learning from him for half a day but learned nothing. Besides, I keep feeling that the mantra he taught me has something to do with spatial spells. Is it just my illusion?”

Meng Jingzhou didn’t delve further into this topic. Lu Yang’s talent in spells can only be described as “outrageous.” To hope to learn spells from him is pure daydreaming. If I, a Single’s Spirit Root, can’t even do it, it’s all the more impossible for anyone else.

~~~

Lu Yang was already a distance away and didn’t hear Meng Jingzhou. The former observed that Qin Yuanhao was walking energetically and humming a cheerful tune, as if he was about to do something big.

Qin Yuanhao arrived at a large estate, but instead of knocking, he cast a spell on the door.

Soon, a tall, lanky man emerged. He immediately asked, “The day has come?”

“It’s today.”

“I have prepared for this day for half a month.”

“You make it sound like you’re the only one. This time, we must pull off a big one. There hasn’t been much movement this while, and it’s suffocating me inside! Once this is completed, you’ll have to publicize it well. Let’s see who dares to underestimate me again!” A hint of a cruel smile appeared on Qin Yuanhao’s visage.

“Certainly, certainly.” The tall, lanky man was known for being a big mouth in the Yanjiang Branch.

The two’s conversation was not one others could understand, and their laughter was somewhat cold.

Lu Yang was alert, unsure of what the two men were up to.

The two walked to a bustling district where a building was especially conspicuous due to its vibrant decorations. Qin Yuanhao and the tall, lanky man went inside and were warmly received.

Lu Yang raised his head to look at the wooden plaque.

It was a brothel.
