Anissa looked at Feng Zhiming with a questioning gaze in her eyes. Clearly he was waiting for something to happen.
"From now on, don't act until I tell you to." Feng Zhiming sent a mental transmission in her head.
Anissa nodded and continued drinking her tea.
The three men slowly approached the table with the old man and a little girl around eight that seemed like his granddaughter.
"Come out with us if you know what's good for you, old bastard."
The old man looked over at the young girl and saw that she nodded approvingly. The group of three men and the granddaughter and old man duo left the restaurant and arrived at the neighboring alley.
Feng Zhiming and Anissa were silently monitoring the situation as it unfolded.
"Can I ask what the three of you want with us?" The old man revealed his cultivation at the Peak of foundation establishment, the level right below the Ethereal Core.
The little girl hid behind him, peeking out from the side.
The three men revealed their cultivation in return also at the foundation establishment realm.
"We'll let you go, old man, just hand over that little girl." one of them spoke.
"Forgive me young lady, I must reveal your identity for your safety. This girl here is the sixth child of the Zhuge Clan."
The three men merely smirked.
"We know, the Zhuge clan and its arrogance must be addressed today, now stand aside."
Back at the restaurant Anissa was shocked.
"Three weaklings at the foundation establishment stage actually want to offend the Zhuge Clan." she thought while continuing to monitor the situation.
Feng Zhiming was just enjoying his steak.
The old man now realized he was in for a fight.
"Who sent you, what exactly is the faction behind you?"
The three ignored his question and began to attack him.
Anissa looked over at Feng Zhiming.
He looked back with a slight smirk while cleaning his hands with a bowl of water they brought to the table.
"When the old man is on his last legs and about to die I want you to intervene, leave one of the attackers barely alive and make sure that you don't reveal that you know the little girl's identity, pretend like she's a random little girl not a rich heiress."
Anissa nodded.
Time began to pass and the old man started to exchange blows with the three men.
Feng Zhiming slowly picked up the cup of tea Anissa had been drinking and finished off what was remaining in it.
Anissa was at a loss for words, why was he such a peculiar person? It was obvious he could afford his own cup of tea.
"Not bad, good tea." he gave Anissa a thumbs up as if she had been the one to brew it.
Anissa was about to respond to him when he spoke again.
"Now."
Anissa vanished immediately.
Feng Zhiming slowly stood up and dropped two pieces of gold on the table before walking out of the restaurant and to the neighboring alley, it took him maybe ten seconds.
The scene before him was picture-perfect as Feng Zhiming walked into the alley, a beauty pointing her sword at the neck of the villain, while the old man and little girl stood behind her.
"This old man is very grateful to the great cultivator."
The old man who had been near death cupped his hand and bowed on one knee. The little girl who had been in tears beside the old man repeated the action.
She looked at Anissa with awe in her eyes, she had never seen a display of such utter dominance, Anissa had appeared and the attackers had fallen to the floor, there weren't even any blows exchanged.
"No need for gratitude, I merely stopped these three from bullying you with numbers."
Feng Zhiming was satisfied with this conversation, thus he clumsily ran over almost out of character.
"Master, you are so fast, this lowly disciple cannot keep up with you."
Anissa was sighing internally, this guy's acting was too good.
Feng Zhiming turned his eye to the man on the ground and approached him before kicking him in the stomach.
This was the last thing she expected him to do, she found that this guy was beyond just unpredictable.
"Speak, why did you attack these poor people? you fiend."
Even Feng Zhiming felt like laughing out loud, it had been a long time since he had acted like this.
The man was about to say something and stopped for a moment before continuing, the look in his eyes was saying that he recognized Feng Zhiming.
"Why did I even come here? I'm not stupid enough to fight the Zhuge clan." the man on the ground thought to himself.
As he remembered where he knew Feng Zhiming from, he had been about to say something but changed his mind and choose to say something else.
"It's on the orders of Dao Lord Fury."
