I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!

Chapter 252: Chapter 252 The Best Way to Foil an Evil Plot is Dual Cultivation… Obviously

Meanwhile, Lin Feng set out to get lunch.

He rode in the carriage with Ning Xi, Li Zhiyan, and his new household member, Tang Aining.

The ride was smooth and unhurried, the rhythmic clatter of hooves against stone echoing through the streets as the city bustled with its usual life.

His destination was Ling Lan’s restaurant, and a faint smile lingered on his lips at the thought of surprising her.

It had been some time since he last visited, and he was curious to see her reaction.

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was calm.

Ning Xi occasionally peeked outside through the curtain, her curiosity evident, while Tang Aining sat quietly, still adjusting to her new role.

Li Zhiyan maintained her usual composed demeanor as a maidservant.

However, their peaceful journey did not last long.

The carriage gradually slowed before coming to a complete stop.

The lively noise of the street ahead had turned into a strange mix of murmurs, shouts, and restless movement.

“The road is blocked ahead, Master Lin Feng. I’m afraid the carriage can only take you this far,” Li Zhiyan’s driver called respectfully from outside.

Lin Feng’s brows lifted slightly, but his expression remained calm.

He pushed the carriage door open and stepped down without hesitation.

“It’s fine, Senior Li. We’ll walk the rest of the way,” he said casually.

The three women followed him out one by one.

The moment their feet touched the ground, the atmosphere became clearer.

The street ahead was unusually crowded, far more than what one would expect in this part of the city.

People were gathered in clusters, whispering, pointing, and craning their necks to see something further ahead.

“What could this be?” Ning Xi asked, her eyes widening slightly as she tried to catch a glimpse of the commotion.

“Some kind of event, perhaps?” Tang Aining guessed, though uncertainty lingered in her voice.

Li Zhiyan did not speak, but her gaze sharpened subtly, already sensing that this was no ordinary gathering.

“I don’t know, but we’re about to find out,” Lin Feng replied.

He began walking forward with his hands clasped behind his back, his steps steady and unhurried despite the growing noise.

His presence alone seemed to part the crowd slightly, people instinctively making way without even realizing why.

As he moved closer, Lin Feng intentionally focused his hearing.

The scattered voices around him became clearer, overlapping fragments of conversation forming a coherent picture in his mind.

It did not take him long to realize what was truly going on in the slums.

“Master Xie Yan is here!” someone shouted.

“I missed my chance with him last time. There’s no way I’m missing it again!”

“I know, right? I was a fool to doubt him yesterday. Hurry, or we won’t get another chance to see someone like him in our lifetimes!”

The crowd surged forward, faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

It was clear that this so-called Master Xie Yan had completely won over the hearts of the slum residents in a very short time.

Their fervor was almost fanatical, as if they were afraid even a moment’s delay would cost them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This unusual scene piqued Lin Feng’s interest, as well as that of the women behind him.

Without rushing, they followed the flow of the crowd, steadily making their way forward.

As they drew closer, the noise grew louder, yet more focused. All eyes were fixed in one direction.

Soon, they finally caught sight of the man everyone was talking about.

To their surprise, Master Xie Yan was positioned just outside Ling Lan’s restaurant.

The place was overflowing with people, far beyond what it could normally accommodate.

Customers spilled out into the street, and yet not a single person complained about the crowd or the lack of space.

On the contrary, they all stood there with eager expressions, their gazes filled with hope and expectation as they looked toward the man known as Master Xie Yan.

“That’s Master Xie Yan!”

“Master Xie Yan, please notice me! I’m here!”

“Everyone, calm down! We need to keep order, or Master Xie Yan might dislike the chaos and leave early, just like last time!”

Voices overlapped as the crowd shouted and spoke at once, creating a chaotic yet strangely unified clamor.

All eyes were fixed on the man standing in the middle of the road, their gazes burning with excitement and anticipation.

The atmosphere was charged with fervor, as if his mere presence alone was enough to stir their hearts.

Lin Feng looked at the man, and he had to admit that Xie Yan was both charismatic and handsome.

It was easy to see why so many women were present, their eyes practically turning into hearts as they gazed at him.

His appearance alone was enough to draw in the crowd, like moths to a flame.

The man stood calmly in the middle of the road, his eyes closed as if in deep meditation.

His posture was steady, his expression serene, giving off an almost otherworldly presence.

To the ordinary observer, he looked like a true master, someone beyond worldly concerns.

Just that single glance was enough to completely capture the attention of the masses.

Lin Feng, however, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Without drawing attention, he extended his divine sense toward the man, carefully probing beneath the surface.

A moment later, a hint of surprise flickered across his gaze.

“It seems parasites truly exist everywhere, feeding on the weaknesses of the poor,” he thought inwardly, letting out a quiet sigh.

Even back in his original world, Earth, people like this were countless.

Unprincipled, deceptive, and skilled at exploiting desperation, they thrived wherever hope was scarce and ignorance ran deep.

Lin Feng looked around and saw the endless hope and boundless joy the people held for this man.

Their eyes were filled with faith, their expressions bright with expectation.

It would be cruel to shatter that hope so abruptly, yet there was no easy way to do what was right.

Some truths were bound to hurt, and conflict was often unavoidable.

“Tsk, tsk… looks like I’ll have to be the villain today,” Lin Feng muttered with a faint sigh.

His gaze turned cold as he considered how to expose the true nature of this parasite, this human filth hiding behind a flawless facade.
