The King of Urban Mercenaries

Lin Fei knew that there was only one truth: it wasn’t that others were too strong, it was that he was simply too weak. Otherwise, how could he feel like this?

If Lin Fei was a bit stronger, he wouldn’t be hunted down, wouldn’t have been forced into the sedan chair, and wouldn’t be grabbed by a woman heading to some unknown place.

"Miss, are you in love with me at first sight?" Lin Fei teased, reaching out to touch the young lady’s arm.

"I indeed fell for you at first sight, so behave yourself, or don’t blame me." Instantly, this beautiful young lady unleashed a powerful force, one way beyond Liu An’s level.

"Late Nascent Soul Realm? Damn, why are you so monstrous!" Lin Fei felt this power, almost ready to kneel in worship. This should be a woman in front of him, right? And a beautiful lady around twenty years old, weak and fragile like Lin Daiyu, yet she’s a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm master!

"If you’re not honest, I’ll make you behave and come with me." The beautiful young lady said.

Hearing this, Lin Fei finally settled down. No matter what, Lin Fei wasn’t stupid; she already said that if he messed around again, she’d exhaust him to submission. That’s too ruthless!

Lin Fei wasn’t foolish enough to choose another path leading to the same outcome, but with a different process, so he obediently sat down, and the beautiful young lady released his arm.

At this moment, Lin Fei’s eyes darted around, and he reached out for the beautiful young lady’s waist with a nonchalant expression, like he deserved a beating.

But Lin Fei was still startled by the young lady’s words, "Reach out again, and I’ll cripple your hand!"

Hearing this, Lin Fei quickly retracted his hand, gave an awkward smile, not expecting this woman to be truly terrifying when angry.

"By the way, miss, what’s your name? We haven’t introduced ourselves yet, have we?" Lin Fei asked, changing the topic while checking if there’s a chance to escape.

"I’m Gai Xiaolian, the City Lord’s youngest daughter." Gai Xiaolian replied.

"What? You’re the City Lord’s youngest daughter? You don’t look like it!" Lin Fei exclaimed.

"Say nonsense again, and don’t blame me. State your name." Gai Xiaolian said coldly.

Lin Fei smiled awkwardly, "I’m Lin Fei, from the Lower Realm."

"You’re Lin Fei and you’re from the Lower Realm? Are you not the criminal wanted by Qianhuang Peak? You don’t look like it, but there are many things that can change one’s appearance in this world. Maybe you’ve used one of those." Gai Xiaolian said, starting her self-analysis.

But her words made Lin Fei’s heart race; everything said is true. That feeling, wouldn’t you be shocked? Moreover, Lin Fei is still on the run; this feeling is thrilling, like a roller coaster ride. Lin Fei felt speechless.

"Hahaha! What a joke, I’ve seen that guy, his portrait, there’s no way he’s as handsome as I am, don’t you think?" Lin Fei laughed, looking at Gai Xiaolian.

Gai Xiaolian snorted coldly, "He’s not less handsome than you, he’s less annoying." With that, Gai Xiaolian swiftly jabbed Lin Fei’s nose.

That jab only allowed Lin Fei to see a blur, then a pain in his nose, and a warm flow rushed out as he touched his nose and found it bleeding.

"Miss, you don’t have to resort to violence over a disagreement, do you?" Lin Fei asked.

"I’ll do as I please. We’re almost at the Vault, you’d better not cause any trouble." Gai Xiaolian replied.

Hearing Gai Xiaolian’s words, Lin Fei froze, then quickly said, "Miss, are you kidding? Didn’t you hear what Liu An said? Your brother is after me! You can’t lead me into a trap!"

Gai Xiaolian looked at Lin Fei and said, "Don’t worry, my brother won’t touch my people."

"Your people? Since when did I become your people? Don’t go spreading such things, miss. You’re a young lady; you don’t need to associate with a pauper like me, right? Just let me go, please?" Lin Fei asked.

But Gai Xiaolian shook her head, "You’re someone my second brother wants to catch. If you decide to leave, I’ll hand you over to him. Otherwise, I won’t feel safe. If you steal anything from our family, would I be enabling evil?"

Lin Fei sighed, "I didn’t take anything, you can search me. Come on, search me quickly!" Lin Fei said, leaning towards Gai Xiaolian.

Gai Xiaolian gave Lin Fei a cold look, and Lin Fei immediately stopped, smiling awkwardly, "I’m just asking you to verify it. No need to glare at me like that. I’m scared."

"If you were truly scared, you wouldn’t do such foolish things." Gai Xiaolian said.

Lin Fei chuckled, "I’m just trying to make you believe me; I’m telling the truth, I didn’t take anything."

"Miss, we’re at the Vault." an elderly man outside said.

Hearing the elder’s words, Gai Xiaolian acknowledged, and to Lin Fei, she said, "Follow me."

Lin Fei pulled a long face; he just escaped, and now he’s back here, meeting the important figures again—this is too... too dramatic!

"Miss, is it really necessary to bring him? We still don’t know his identity." An elder with white hair asked.

"Knowing his identity is enough. Lin Fei, follow me." Gai Xiaolian instructed, leading Lin Fei into the Vault.

Lin Fei passed by the elder, saying, "I don’t want to go, but I have no choice. I’m being forced, I hope you understand my predicament."

"You better not do anything foolish!" the elder warned.

"Foolish? No way, just a little mischief, not risking life." Lin Fei joked and followed Gai Xiaolian.

"You better not anger Uncle Xiao." Gai Xiaolian warned.

"What did you call him? Uncle Xiao?" Lin Fei was confused, "Is it the ’joke’ kind of Xiao?"

"You can shut up now." Gai Xiaolian replied to Lin Fei, who shrugged and replied helplessly, staying silent.

Finally, the two and a few others arrived at the Vault, the rest waiting outside. Meanwhile, news arrived that the second young master was just about to leave.
