"A-Are you seriously going to do this?" Tian Xianzu was still feeling concerned about this whole situation.

In his eyes, a stranger that they haven't known for even half a day suddenly told them that he would help them take care of the Lin Family, one of the Seven Legacy Families. If it were anybody else, they would have already kicked Yuan out. However, for some reason, neither Tian Xianzu nor Tian Yanyu doubted him.

"Trust me, if anything goes wrong, you won't have to take the blame, as I will take the blame for myself." Yuan comforted him with a confident smile.

"Why are you so confident? This is the Seven Legacy Families we're talking about. It's like messing with a bee hive. Anger one bee and you'll anger the other bees as well. In this case, that would be the other six Legacy Families." Tian Xianzu asked him.

Yuan smiled, "It's not my first time dealing with them."

"Eh?"

Both Tian Xianzu and Tian Yanyu's eyes widened with surprise after hearing such words.

'Not his first time dealing with them? What does he mean by that…?' They wondered inwardly.

"Anyways, before we deal with the thugs, I would like to say one more thing. To make this safer for all of us, let's not call me Yuan when we are outside. Let's see…"

Yuan began pondering for a name.

'I wanted to use Tian Yang for my fake identity, but it wouldn't be wise to associate myself with the Tian Family with what we're going to do, especially if things go south.'

Yuan suddenly noticed Xiao Hua sitting beside him and turned to look at her with a pondering face.

Noticing his glare, Xiao Hua turned to look at him with a puzzled face.

A smile appeared on Yuan's face as he spoke, "Whenever we're outside, please address me as Xiao Yang."

"Eh?" Xiao Hua's eyes widened with shock.

"Do you mind? If you do, I can use another surname." Yuan said.

"Use mine, Young Master!" Feng Feng said.

"I-It's okay. Brother Yuan can use it." Xiao Hua nodded.

Due to the history associated with her family's background, it would be quite foolish to take the Asura Clan's surname, perhaps even courting death. However, since they're only in Third Heaven, where nobody would recognize this surname, it was fine.

"T-Then we'll be in your care, Xiao Yang." Tian Yanyu said to him a moment later.

Sometime later, Yuan and Tian Yanyu left the Tian Family's household and made their way to the Heavenly Restaurant.

"I hope nothing happens to them…" The old lady sighed.

"Let's not jinx it… And have some of our guards secretly follow them. If anything happens, I want them to immediately report it."

"As you wish— Oh… Should I also notify Madam?"

"...No, not yet."

"I understand."

When Yuan and Tian Yanyu arrived at the Heavenly Restaurant, Tian Yanyu asked, "Where do you want to sit, Xiao Yang?"

"Anywhere is fine."

"Alright."

Tian Yanyu then said to the waitress, "Give us the best table."

"I understand, Young Lady."

The waitress recognized Yuan and glanced at him again before leading them to their table.

Once they were seated, Tian Yanyu said, "Order whatever you want. It's in the house."

Yuan nodded and looked through the menu before ordering the dishes that intrigued him the most. Since he was expecting there to be trouble, he didn't want to order too much food and waste them in the end.

Once the waitress got their orders, she left them alone.

"By the way, I should have said this sooner, but if you're going to hide your identity, wouldn't it be wiser if you disguised your face as well?"

"Now that you mention it… Oh, but we don't have any pills for disguise."

"Young Master, if you want, I can concoct you one right now." Feng Yuxiang suddenly said.

"Thank you, but it's a little too late for that since everyone here has already seen my face, not to mention the people that had been following us since we left the Tian Family."

"I understand."

"Hey." Tian Yanyu suddenly spoke, "Can you tell me about yourself? What did you do before you came here? Are you a disciple? If so, what sect? What motivated you to help us?"

"Before coming here, huh? I guess I was just wandering the world. I used to be in a sect but not anymore. As for my motivation… It may sound foolish, but I really don't like owing debt to anyone, even if this debt is technically my ancestor's responsibility." Yuan said.

"You left the sect…? Or did you get kicked out for causing trouble?" Tian Yanyu seemed to be intrigued about his sect.

"Of course not. I left my sect on good terms. In the first place, I joined them because I needed to gain some experience, as I lived a secluded life before I joined the sect."

"Is that so…" Tian Yanyu stared at his face with a pondering look on her face.

"I understand your feeling of not wanting to owe any debts, but I don't know if I would go as far as repaying a debt that my ancestors owed millions of years ago. You're a silly one, Yu— Xiao Yang."

Yuan chuckled, "I get that a lot."

"But I don't hate it. In fact, I kind of admire your passion." She suddenly added.

"Thank—"

Yuan suddenly halted his mouth when he sensed killing intent directed in his direction.

"What's wrong?" Tian Yanyu asked him when she saw his actions.

"They're here earlier than I thought. We haven't even gotten our first dish yet and they're already looking for a fight." He showed a cold smile on his face.

"You don't mean…"

"Waow! Look what we have here! If it isn't the Young Lady! Did the sun rise from the west today or something? How unusual to see you here!" A deep voice suddenly boomed inside the restaurant, causing everyone there to look at the source.

Yuan casually turned his head to see a group of hooligans wearing bandit-like clothes and with faces that looked like they were asking for trouble approaching their table.
