The King of Urban Mercenaries

The Water Qilin wore an expression of helplessness, surprised that the questions posed by this fellow put him in such a awkward position, as he truly didn’t know the answers, otherwise why wouldn’t he say anything?

Of course, Lin Fei and Little Black did not believe him. Little Black approached the stone door and asked, "You don’t know?"

"That’s right, I don’t know," the Water Qilin replied.

Then, Little Black suddenly burst into laughter, swinging his tail towards the stone door, which shocked the Water Qilin, "What are you doing!"

Bam!

However, to Little Black’s surprise, his tail struck the stone door with no effect, it was undamaged. What was going on? But this force triggered an impact on the underground river, causing waves to ripple. Whether it was the pool at Qingyun Mountain or elsewhere, the water splashed as if someone was shaking it.

"Don’t mess around!" the Water Qilin cautioned.

Little Black chuckled and moved away from the stone door, afraid that the Water Qilin might attack him directly. Now, without the Dragon Ball, even though his physique was strong, nobody likes getting beaten.

"What’s inside? Why can’t it be opened?" Little Black asked with a smile.

"The stone door cannot be opened. I’ve tried with forces stronger than yours, but it didn’t budge. Perhaps some other special means are required," the Water Qilin explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei asked, "If it can’t be opened, why do you guard it here?"

"Yes, that’s what I want to ask too. If it can’t be opened, what’s the use of guarding it here?" Little Black inquired, wasn’t this contradictory? Not searching for what you want, not looking for a way to solve it, not finding a method to open the door, what are you wasting time here for!

However, the answer from the Water Qilin left Lin Fei and Little Black puzzled.

"I feel it’s the call of a mission," the Water Qilin replied, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Call of a mission? Are you joking? What call of a mission? Is there something extraordinary inside?" Little Black asked, finding it difficult to understand!

"I don’t know. Ever since I arrived here, I felt as if I received some command, compelling me to guard here continuously; I don’t know the reason, but I can’t leave this place," the Water Qilin said.

"Can’t leave here?"

Lin Fei and Little Black found it very strange. He didn’t know what this feeling was, but they knew it wasn’t anything good.

"Exactly, I can’t leave as if commanded. My purpose for coming here is to guard this place’s contents, nothing else. I’ve tried leaving, but there’s a call in my heart, urging me to guard here. I don’t understand why," the Water Qilin’s eyes filled with confusion, not knowing what it meant.

"Understood, it seems there’s indeed someone extraordinary here, perhaps a bond for your Qilin race. Alright, let’s not disturb you, stay here and guard," Little Black said, ready to leave?

"Thank you for understanding," the Water Qilin said.

"It’s not about understanding; these things are destined. The wheel of fate keeps spinning, and for thousands of years, who can reign this time..." Little Black said, his eyes filled with a sense of nostalgia, like an old man, lacking the usual playful joy.

The Water Qilin sighed; they belonged to clans with very long lifespans, so they knew much more than humans about things. They knew what the future held; they knew what the past had.

But they could only silently endure because they couldn’t change anything. In the face of immense power, they were like ants. No matter how strong the race stood before them, it was merely a small ant.

"Lin Fei, let’s go," Little Black said, rushing up to Qingyun Mountain’s pool.

Lin Fei was puzzled, not understanding why Little Black showed such an expression, but since they were leaving, Lin Fei had no attachment, following Little Black’s steps and leaving.

"Little Black, what do you mean? Can you tell me?" Lin Fei asked, seemingly concerning very significant secrets.

Little Black chuckled, "Honestly, Lin Fei, there’s nothing much to say. When you become a top existence in this world, you’ll naturally understand; right now, you’re just at the bottom, knowing is only seeking trouble."

"Not necessarily, there’s a saying about being prepared for a rainy day. Haven’t you heard of it?" Lin Fei asked.

"Don’t prepare for a rainy day. With your current skill, you’re not even cannon fodder, those guys at Qianhuang Peak are just advanced cannon fodder. So just focus on climbing up honestly; otherwise, you might never escape fate," Little Black said, no longer paying attention to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was speechless, Qianhuang Peak guys are advanced cannon fodder? "You still got dealt with by cannon fodder..."

"I don’t have the Dragon Ball. If I had the Lifebound Dragon Ball, I’d beat the guy to death," Little Black said.

Hearing Little Black’s words, Lin Fei was speechless, not wanting to say too much since there’s nothing to talk about.

The two rushed out of the pool, feeling the power within them constantly surging at this time, alarming the disciples outside, who came over, seeing Lin Fei, they shouted angrily, "Who are you? Why did you enter the pool? What did you do?"

They had just felt the tremor underwater, not knowing what happened. Seeing Lin Fei emerge, they finally found the culprit.

Lin Fei chuckled, "Nothing, I just went down to have a look out of curiosity."

At this time, the Sect Leader’s Third Uncle, Chen Qingyun, walked over from afar and said, "Disperse, I’ll question him."

"Yes!"

Everyone disappeared, leaving Chen Qingyun and Lin Fei standing by the pool. Chen Qingyun said, "Come with me, the Sect Leader has something for you."

Hearing this, Lin Fei nodded, not knowing what the Sect Leader wanted, but he knew he had to go, as this matter indeed needed some explanation.

"Were you looking for something in the pool?" Chen Qingyun asked.

Lin Fei chuckled, "You misunderstood, senior. I was just curious, wanted to see what was underwater, nothing else."
