The King of Urban Mercenaries

One could say he was a rather frail young man, but his eyes glistened with a bright light, only his clothes were terribly ragged, and Lin Fei could tell at a glance that this was a child from a poor family.

Lin Fei didn’t know where Lin Yun’er had found this helper, Lin Fei looked him over, nodded, "Go find him a clean set of clothes to change into."

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, the young man immediately frowned and said, "I won’t change!"

"Oh? Why won’t you change? Young man, that’s not good," Lin Fei said.

"I’m not good? Even if I’m not good, I’m better than you. Look at you, filthy and in rags, and yet you still despise me?" The young man quickly retorted to Lin Fei.

After all, Lin Fei hadn’t changed his clothes yet, and he still looked like a beggar. How could the young man not be angry being despised by a beggar?

"Heh, although I’m not dressed well, but we’re not the same. Young man, sometimes you need to lower your head. Quickly get him a set of clothes, wearing like this, what is it?" Lin Fei spoke, he could sense the young man’s strong sense of self-respect.

But a poor guy, using pride to put on airs, does it help? Sometimes you need to bow your head, otherwise your life is over.

Only when you succeed will your dignity return by itself, before that, it’s all nonsense!

Lin Yun’er ordered someone to prepare a set of clothes for the young man, but the young man, sticking to his principles, refused to wear them, leaving Lin Yun’er somewhat helpless.

"Hey, I just heard the guard call you Miss Yun’er? Your name is Yun’er?" Lin Fei asked.

"My name is Lin Yun’er, I’m the City Lord’s daughter, what’s wrong?" Lin Yun’er felt quite puzzled.

Lin Fei chuckled, "I don’t care what your name is, you were so tough on me just now, why did you soften towards him? Aren’t you going to be a bit tougher on him?"

Hearing Lin Fei’s words, Lin Yun’er felt quite helpless, while the other young man even pointed at Lin Fei, "Don’t stir up trouble!"

Lin Fei laughed, "I’m stirring up trouble? You don’t know how tough he was on me just now, it seems you all have stories together, acting tough to me, yet helpless to a poor young man, Yun’er, do you like him?"

Hearing Lin Fei’s words, the young man angrily pointed at Lin Fei, "You... you..."

"Cut the crap, go change your clothes! I hate you poor people putting on airs. You need to lower your head, at least now if I tell you to kneel, you must kneel! When you surpass me someday, then you can be tough, otherwise, you’re nothing!" Lin Fei said coldly.

"Shut up!" Lin Yun’er said coldly to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei shrugged, "Dignity is given by others, not something you assume yourself, that’s not dignity, that’s putting on airs, got it, young man? I don’t even want to talk about you."

Hearing Lin Fei’s words, Lin Yun’er’s face turned cold, looking at Lin Fei, "Don’t you want to live?"

Lin Fei shrugged nonchalantly, he wasn’t intending to say anything, but sometimes he just couldn’t stand it, besides, this Lin Yun’er had no authority over him, at worst, he would just leave, it wasn’t his business anyway, but if he could gain the City Lord’s help, it would certainly be beneficial for him later, so he put up with it.

And at that moment, the young man looked deeply at Lin Fei, then said to Lin Yun’er, "Yun’er, give me the clothes, he’s right."

"Xiaowu?"

Lin Yun’er was full of surprise, not expecting that at this time, Lin Xiaowu had a change of heart? Unexpectedly, and feeling very fortunate too, he almost wanted to thank Lin Fei, after all, if it wasn’t for Lin Fei, Chen Xiaowu might not have had this realization.

"He’s right, I’m so poor, I don’t deserve you to begin with, if I don’t try hard, I probably won’t even have a chance, so I’ve decided to do what he said, work hard to become stronger, be worthy of you, so you won’t have to bow your head before your father," Chen Xiaowu said.

They originally came from completely different worlds, yet Lin Yun’er was unwavering in her support, which moved him greatly, but mere emotion was useless.

Chen Xiaowu also knew his shortcomings, he couldn’t put aside his pride, so he could never find a way out. Today, hearing what Lin Fei said, he suddenly felt enlightened, as if seeing a new path, he realized Lin Fei was right.

If you don’t have the strength yet put on airs, it’s indeed not good, so Chen Xiaowu decided to work hard according to Lin Fei’s words, and then speak of strength.

Hearing Chen Xiaowu’s words, Lin Yun’er suddenly felt so happy, she immediately leapt into Chen Xiaowu’s arms, feeling his efforts were not in vain, Chen Xiaowu understood.

So she felt very happy, then Lin Yun’er looked at Lin Fei, and said, "Thank you."

Lin Fei shrugged indifferently, this sort of thing, if done well, commend yourself, if not, the result would be different, so Lin Fei wasn’t too happy or too disappointed. On the contrary, seeing Chen Xiaowu’s performance, it was quite good, at least correcting his mistakes, so Lin Fei was optimistic about Chen Xiaowu.

"Alright, put on your clothes, come and learn cooking with me. Let me tell you, don’t underestimate cooking, as long as you do it well, you can absolutely make your mark, there’s a champion in every trade, so you better work hard."

"Hmm, thank you, Master." Chen Xiaowu bowed to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei chuckled, never expected to have a disciple in culinary arts, really interesting, interesting indeed!

Lin Fei was pleased, he looked at Lin Yun’er and the others, "You guys should learn too, but not from me, watch how I teach him, learn a bit, that way you’ll have some flavor in cooking, some promise."

Lin Yun’er and the others nodded, never expected Lin Fei to be so generous, nothing hidden, letting them watch freely. Before, when they watched cooks, they were often told to leave, not allowed to learn tricks, yet they still didn’t taste better than Lin Fei’s cooking.

But Lin Fei didn’t shy away, cooking in front of them, only then did they understand, some things are hard to learn, even if you see it, what can you do? It’s impossible to achieve.

But for Chen Xiaowu, it was much easier, after all, Lin Fei taught him hand in hand, showing him how to cut vegetables, how to handle them, Chen Xiaowu learned quickly.

Lin Fei felt comforted, of course, he had his own ulterior motives...
