The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1499 - 1503: The Conference Begins (Part 2)

Let the kids choose for themselves; Mu Shanshan and Xia Xue let the kids come in. At this moment, Lin An was already not short in stature, but Keke had grown even faster, standing a head taller than Lin An.

However, girls usually grow slower than boys later on, so when Lin An grows taller, he will soon surpass Keke. When they grow up, it will probably be Lin An protecting his sister, rather than the sister protecting Lin An.

Lin Fei looked at the two children before him. He didn’t have any more children, just one with Mu Shanshan. Perhaps it was because Lin Fei didn’t want his child to cause any resentment in Keke’s heart, so he always maintained the current situation.

Fortunately, Keke knew how much Lin Fei and the others loved her, so she remained sensible and well-behaved and even played with Lin An.

Lin Fei called Lin An over to his side, looked at his son, patted his head, and said with a smile, "Lin An, do you know how amazing your dad is?"

Lin An scratched his head, showing an innocent expression, but his words were surprising, "Dad, are you saying you have a lot of women?"

Lin Fei was at a loss for words with this one sentence, and the women in the room fell silent. This was a secret among them that wasn’t spoken about openly. Even a child understood it so clearly, leaving them at a loss.

Lin Fei awkwardly chuckled, "That’s not what I meant. I mean, do you think Dad is strong?"

"Strong, yeah!"

Lin Fei chuckled and said, "Do you want to become like your dad?"

Lin An shook his head.

"I don’t want to; you don’t spend time with Mom. I don’t want to be like you..." Lin An pouted, seemingly a bit unhappy, obviously because Lin Fei’s neglect had left some resentment in his heart.

At this moment, Mu Shanshan pulled Lin An over, "Lin An, let me tell you, your dad is just too busy, which is why he doesn’t have time. You see, doesn’t Dad come back to be with us whenever he gets the chance? Is that right?"

Little Lin An nodded without speaking. Even though Lin Fei and the others were adults, they still couldn’t guess what was on the children’s minds.

Then, Xia Xue walked up, picked up Lin An, and asked, "Lin An, do you have any dreams for the future? What kind of life do you want to lead?"

Hearing Xia Xue ask like this, Lin Fei couldn’t help but shake his head. He’s just a kid; how could he possibly understand these things.

However, Lin An surprised Lin Fei; he actually understood what Xia Xue was saying and answered fluently, "I want to become a scientist in the future and fight crimes for the country! Capture all the bad guys."

Lin Fei was speechless.

At this time, Xia Xue asked Lin An again, "Fight crimes? Where did you learn that word? And with your little arms and legs, how are you going to fight crimes in the future?"

"I want to fight crimes anyway. I’m not afraid; I also want to protect my sister!"

Lin An spoke the words in his heart. Keke showed a happy smile, came to Lin An’s side, and gently patted his head, "Thank you, little brother!"

"You’re welcome, hehe."

The two kids laughed, lightening the atmosphere, and Lin Fei also had his answer: he decided to let Lin An and Keke embark on the path of cultivation. As for what they want in the future, he won’t interfere.

After all, having life-saving skills is necessary to live well. Otherwise, it’s tough to live well. Who knows, maybe misfortune might happen, and a brick might fall on the head, leading to death, and there’d be nothing to be done.

Everyone agreed with Lin Fei’s words, but how should the children’s cultivation begin?

At this moment, Qingfeng, who had not spoken, chimed in, resolving Lin Fei’s dilemma.

"Our Beidou Sect has special elixir pills made for children, to first strengthen the body, and once the body reaches a certain level, they can begin cultivation."

"Is that so? I almost forgot about our sect." Lin Fei smiled, scratching his head. He wasn’t someone who liked asking for help; he tended to think about how he could solve things himself rather than relying on friends, family, or the sect.

But matters concerning the children aren’t trivial. He definitely couldn’t just handle it on his own; he’d have to let the sect resolve it. Sometimes, some things just require seeking help.

"By the way, Qingfeng, these elixirs don’t have any side effects, right? Or are there any conditions for their use?" Lin Fei was curious. If it was just for ingestion, could it really work?

"Of course there are conditions. Different age groups have different requirements. For your child’s age, they need to ingest half of the pill and dissolve the other half in a bathtub to slowly soak and absorb it into the body, to effectively work."

Qingfeng explained to Lin Fei, after which Lin Fei suddenly understood and nodded, "I see. In that case, do you have any of these pills on you?"

"I happen to have brought a few." Qingfeng took out a bottle from a pocket and handed it to Lin Fei. Lin Fei opened it to see small green pills, about the size of soybeans.

"...Aren’t these too small?"

"Children’s bodies are weak, it has to be done gradually, step by step." Qingfeng said.

Lin Fei nodded and handed the bottle to Xia Xue, "Xia Xue, I’ll leave it to you. Let them both soak in the bathtub. For how long?"

"About an hour should be enough. The water will turn clear, indicating that the medicinal properties have been fully absorbed," Qingfeng explained.

With the elixirs, Lin Fei felt assured, letting them take things slow. In the future, if they ever want to live a hidden life, they should let go of their powers and live well. If they are unwilling, then they can walk the path they choose.

In a blink, three days passed. Although the tournament hadn’t started yet, Lin Fei and the others had decided to head to the Martial Arts Tournament venue.

Mu Shanshan handed over all the company matters to Ling Weiwei. Ling Weiwei and the others could only look at Lin Fei with a bitter smile. Lin Fei stepped forward and, in front of Mu Shanshan, hugged a few women and kissed them. After all, Mu Shanshan already knew about their relationship and didn’t mind.

Afterwards, they happily dealt with the company matters.

Mu Shanshan, Xue Mei, Xia Xue, and the brothers all headed towards the Martial Arts Tournament. As for the kids, they were left in the care of their grandparents. The foundation-strengthening pills were also entrusted to them, after repeated reminders, they left with peace of mind.

When Lin Fei and the others arrived at the Martial Arts Tournament venue, they found the facilities were even more complete. The big screen was already up, everything that needed to be dealt with was done, and in two days, the tournament was set to begin.

Two days later, the Martial Arts Tournament finally began! All the sects were in place, waiting for the competition to start!
