The King of Urban Mercenaries

Although the ventilation ducts in the Upper Realm are not as good as those in the Lower Realm, they still have some awareness, which is quite nice. Lin Fei had known this for a long time, so he followed the duct all the way and arrived outside, jumping from the toilet’s vent to the corridor outside. Lin Fei continued to swagger toward the distance.

Later, in the dormitory, Zhang Huan was waiting for Lin Fei, but Lin Fei never showed up. He was puzzled but was awkward about opening the door. After all, seeing such a scene made Zhang Huan uncomfortable, so he thought for a moment and decided to wait a little longer.

Finally!

Zhang Huan waited a while longer but still heard nothing. He knocked on the door, only to find the room still silent, which felt unusual to him. He quickly opened the door and discovered that the toilet was empty!

"Bastard!"

Zhang Huan roared angrily, not expecting Lin Fei to play him like this; it was simply too much! Furious, Zhang Huan didn’t say a word, directly running towards the Qianhuang Peak disciple’s dormitory.

Leaving behind a group of confused faces, wondering what’s going on with this Qianhuang Peak disciple; is there something wrong with him?

Lin Fei had already reached the dormitory entrance at this point, and no one was being nosy now. After all, Zhang Huan was just being foolish to stop him, while others didn’t care — they were just being busybodies.

Walking all the way, Lin Fei finally arrived at his former residence. However, when Lin Fei was about to enter, he found the door closed tightly, indicating someone was already living inside.

Still, Lin Fei didn’t mind. He glanced at the yard on both sides and found them still neat and tidy, evidently well-maintained.

"Brother Li Qing, Sister Yang Yuxiang?" Lin Fei called out, but there was nobody? Lin Fei couldn’t help his curiosity; where did those two go? Given the time, someone should have been there.

At that moment, the door to Lin Fei’s room unexpectedly opened, and a young girl walked out — with two small twisted braids, wearing a floral dress. She opened the door and stepped out, eyes full of curiosity as she looked at Lin Fei, asking, "Who are you? Why are you entering my yard?"

Lin Fei smiled, "I’m recruiting, little sister." Lin Fei noted that the girl was likely not old, around fifteen or sixteen years old, with big, pure eyes full of curiosity.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Li Qing and Yang Yuxiang. You know them, right?" Lin Fei asked, since she was living in what used to be his room, she might know about them.

"I know, but they seem to have gone to listen to the teachings. They’ll be back later." The girl responded.

"Oh, teachings? Shouldn’t the timing be off though?" Lin Fei asked.

"Of course, it’s been moved earlier now. By the way, what’s your name? What are you doing in my yard looking for them? You seemed like you were trying to come in, weren’t you? You’re not a bad person, are you?" The girl inquired, though without any sign of fear in her eyes.

Lin Fei laughed, "Of course I’m not a bad person; I’m a good person."

"Good person? You don’t look like one. I think you’re a bad person." The girl said innocently.

"Bad person? If I were a bad person, would I really be talking to you here?" Lin Fei asked.

"Oh, right." The girl nodded, thinking Lin Fei made good points but then came to another question, "Wait, but maybe you do have other schemes?"

Lin Fei chuckled, "There aren’t so many schemes. Well, since they’re not back, I won’t wait. I’m leaving."

"Hey, wait, aren’t you leaving your name?" The girl asked.

Lin Fei walked towards the distance, waved, and left without saying anything.

However, to Lin Fei’s surprise, he bumped into a familiar face, none other than Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan, upon seeing Lin Fei, was furious, charging towards Lin Fei and said, "Kid, how dare you play me!"

"No, brother, you’ve misunderstood," Lin Fei smiled at Zhang Huan. Seeing Lin Fei’s grin only made Zhang Huan angrier, wishing he could slap Lin Fei to death.

Thus, Zhang Huan coldly said, "You still dare to argue? You had me wait while you secretly escaped from the toilet. Seems you are indeed suspicious. This time, let’s see where you’ll run. Now come with me to see the Elder!"

Lin Fei was speechless. They wanted him to see the Elder just for this? But Lin Fei understood; seeing the Elder was clearly a pretext to inspect his background.

If Lin Fei had a strong background, there’d probably be no problem. But if he had no backing, he’d be in trouble — time to consider the support behind him.

"Brother, I came here for beast fighting competition. Why are you treating me like this? After all, guests should be treated well, right? You shouldn’t bully the guest, should you?" Lin Fei stepped back slightly, saying.

"Guests? Well said, but I suspect you came here with ulterior motives, so come with me, meet the Elder, and let them assess your identity!" Zhang Huan said, reaching towards Lin Fei and grabbing him. In his view, since Lin Fei was not from Qianhuang Peak and not very old, his strength shouldn’t be that significant.

To Zhang Huan’s surprise, he grabbed Lin Fei’s arm but couldn’t pull him; Zhang Huan showed shock on his face, exerting more force but still couldn’t move Lin Fei’s arm.

Lin Fei laughed while watching Zhang Huan, stepped closer, making Zhang Huan immediately alarmed, and he quickly retreated, stopping after four or five steps.

Right after, Zhang Huan felt embarrassed. Facing someone from the Lower Realm, he was actually afraid? And there were other disciples watching — wouldn’t this be very embarrassing?

So, Zhang Huan bolstered himself, stepped forward, and said, "Kid, good strength there!"

Lin Fei chuckled, "Brother, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just want to tell you that I’m truly not the person with ulterior motives you think I am. Hope you don’t create trouble for nothing."

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Zhang Huan coldly said, "If you truly have no ulterior motives, why are you here? Don’t think I don’t know what you Lower Realm folks are like inside — surely planning to steal here!"

"Isn’t that you? Don’t forget you also came from the Lower Realm; or perhaps back then, when you came up..."
