The King of Urban Mercenaries

The old City Lord immediately noticed that there must be something fishy going on with his granddaughter Gongsun Yun’er, but he also understood that she always had his best interests at heart. Now in Fenglin City, those who cared about him were probably limited to just his granddaughter.

After all, the old City Lord had gradually faded from the public eye, and now, in everyone’s eyes, it was all about his son, who was the new City Lord, Feng Linwu.

The new City Lord treated everyone well, and everyone could see it. He was very considerate to the city’s residents, but this also led to him neglecting his own father, the old City Lord.

The old City Lord bore no resentment or regret, after all, it was his teaching that led the new City Lord to serve the people. He was very proud of his son, but as an aging man, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of loneliness in his heart.

Furthermore, his cultivation had not progressed, which meant that it led to his son being more accomplished than him, and he couldn’t even assist his son; as an elderly man, the old City Lord felt quite saddened by this.

Fortunately, he had a granddaughter who always thought of him, making him delicious food every day. Although cultivators didn’t need to eat every day, he silently endured it because of his granddaughter’s kindness. Of course, there were many things that didn’t taste good, but the old City Lord never said a word.

Today, whatever was made smelled so fragrant that it even made the old City Lord drool a little.

"Grandpa, this was made by the new chef. You should try it," Gongsun Yun’er said, but her eyes were also fixed on the dish. It looked really tasty, and she wanted to eat it too. However, thinking of her grandpa, she felt she had to hold back, after all, her grandpa was so old.

"Alright, today seems quite nice."

The old City Lord Feng Linxu spoke and then picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and tasted it. Surprisingly, it tasted very good, one of the best he’d ever had.

"Really good, Yun’er, you should try some too, it’s quite delicious," Feng Linxu said, but he quietly put down the chopsticks, deciding to let his granddaughter eat it as she seemed more eager.

"I... then I’ll try a little..."

Ultimately, Gongsun Yun’er couldn’t resist the temptation. She picked up a new pair of chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and started eating, fully enjoying it, finding it exceptionally delicious!

She had never eaten such tasty food before.

"Haha, if you like it, eat a bit more," the old City Lord said, then took another piece of meat, savoring it slowly, pretending to eat, so his granddaughter could enjoy more while he accompanied her.

Gongsun Yun’er didn’t know what the old City Lord was thinking. All she knew was that the food was delicious, so she ate a bit more but stopped a third of the way, saying, "Grandpa, you eat more, I won’t eat anymore."

"Why aren’t you eating?" The old City Lord Feng Linxu looked at his granddaughter in confusion.

"Try some, I’m about to finish it, so you should eat it instead, I’m done," Gongsun Yun’er said. She understood her grandpa’s intentions and was determined not to eat it anymore.

"Eat a bit more, I can’t finish so much alone, be obedient, Yun’er," Feng Linxu said.

Gongsun Yun’er still shook her head, "Grandpa, you should eat. Once it gets cold, it won’t taste good. I’ll leave now and come back later to collect the plate."

After speaking, Gongsun Yun’er walked out directly, disappearing in an instant from the door, appearing outside, which made Feng Linxu shake his head. Kids these days are quite filial...

Gongsun Yun’er sighed; she could tell her grandpa cared for her, but she couldn’t just vie for food. If she wanted to eat, she should deal with Lin Fei first.

"Hehe, I never expected the chef to be so good. Since that’s the case, I should find a way to have him work for me. This way, grandpa and I can enjoy delicious food every day, hehe..."

Gongsun Yun’er, in a mixed state of contemplation, thought about how to keep Lin Fei working for her as talented chefs were hard to come by.

Lin Fei, at this moment, had no idea Gongsun Yun’er had set her eyes on him and was planning to keep him by her side.

Lin Fei was currently waiting for news, uncertain about the final outcome. The wait was long but not endless, especially since Gongsun Yun’er had returned.

"Young Miss, you’re back. How was it? Did the City Lord enjoy it?" Lin Fei asked eagerly.

"The City Lord said it was okay, but that’s not enough," Gongsun Yun’er replied.

"What? Even that’s not enough? What would be enough then?" Lin Fei was surprised. Could it be that the City Lord had seen people from the Lower Realm before, so he had a picky taste?

However, no matter what Lin Fei thought, he didn’t suspect Gongsun Yun’er of lying to him. Even if he knew, there wasn’t much he could do, maybe just leave, though he wasn’t aware of anything yet.

"That depends on your future performance," Gongsun Yun’er said.

"Oh, but when can I meet the City Lord? I have some matters to discuss with him," Lin Fei said.

"You have something to discuss with the City Lord? What is it? Tell me about it," Lin Yun’er inquired.

Hearing Lin Yun’er’s words, Lin Fei looked at her, unsure if he could trust her.

"What’s up? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you not trust me?" Lin Yun’er saw the doubt and lack of trust in Lin Fei’s eyes.

"Not really, I just hope the City Lord can help me find some people," Lin Fei said, now somewhat doubting Lin Yun’er’s words.

"Find people? What kind of people? Are they from Fenglin City?" Gongsun Yun’er asked.

Lin Fei shook his head, "People from the Lower Realm, like me."

"Wow, people from the Lower Realm? Got it, don’t worry, the City Lord will surely help, but the condition is you must satisfy the City Lord, right? If the City Lord isn’t satisfied, how can your wishes be fulfilled?" Gongsun Yun’er said.

Lin Fei thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, continue cooking. I’ll take it over when you’re done. Hopefully, it will gain the City Lord’s approval," Gongsun Yun’er said.

"Okay, by the way, find me a helper to lend a hand with things like chopping vegetables. This way, it will be faster," Lin Fei said.

Hearing Lin Fei’s request, Gongsun Yun’er’s eyes lit up. She nodded and said, "Sure, sure, of course. Wait here, I’ll go find someone now."

After saying this, Gongsun Yun’er went out, and shortly afterward returned with a young man, but Lin Fei only furrowed his brows slightly at the sight.
