The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1500 - 1504: Flushed with Embarrassment

The Martial Arts Tournament has begun. Lin Fei has met quite a few old acquaintances over the last two days, including the Lv Family Head, some Bai Family members, and the Murong Family, which he had already encountered before, as well as someone who holds a grudge against Lin Fei—his name is Shangguan Yu.

At the time, Bai Qi of the Bai Family happened to be present. Upon seeing Shangguan Yu, he immediately shrunk his head. Previously, Bai Qi and Wei Changguang had gotten into a fight in the Cultivation Room, disturbing Shangguan Yu. Without a word, Shangguan Yu taught them a lesson. The memory of this event is still fresh for both of them.

However, in that incident, Shangguan Yu suffered a setback at Lin Fei’s hands and Lin Fei even took advantage of him—grabbing twice at her chest, turning those grabs into Shangguan Yu’s nightmare. Every time Shangguan Yu falls asleep, Lin Fei’s lecherous face appears in his dream, reaching out those claws towards her chest, causing Shangguan Yu to awaken in shock.

He knows Lin Fei has become his nightmare. He must defeat Lin Fei to eliminate the demons in his heart.

When they met, Shangguan Yu pointed at Lin Fei and said to the handsome young man beside him, "Bro! It’s him! He bullied me. When you encounter him this time, you must avenge me!"

Lin Fei looked at the young man, who, apart from being handsome, had a sharp gaze like an unsheathed sword, enough to make hearts tremble.

"I am Shangguan Mingshang, nice to meet you."

Shangguan Mingshang extended a hand towards Lin Fei, intending to shake hands.

Lin Fei naturally wouldn’t be rude. He reached out and shook Shangguan Mingshang’s hand, but encountered difficulty when trying to retrieve his hand.

"What do you mean by this? I’m not interested in men, even if you’re a pretty boy, I’m not into you," Lin Fei teased, drawing the attention of everyone around him to Lin Fei and Shangguan Mingshang.

Shangguan Mingshang was flushed red from Lin Fei’s remarks. He had intended to teach Lin Fei a lesson, but was caught off guard by Lin Fei’s words, leaving him extremely embarrassed.

"I just wanted to tell you one thing: anyone who bullies my sister won’t get away with it," Shangguan Mingshang said, despite his embarrassment, staring at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei laughed, "I knew you wouldn’t let me off, but you don’t have to hold so tightly, right? You should let go when it’s time, don’t you think?" Lin Fei shook his arm, making his point clear.

Shangguan Mingshang frowned, snorted coldly, and released Lin Fei’s hand, "You know what I mean. We’ll meet on the battlefield!"

"How would I know what you mean? We might not even be in the same group," Lin Fei laughed, unperturbed by the threat. Seeing the young man’s expression, it was clear he hadn’t encountered much of the world, hence the blush.

In contrast, Lin Fei was different—having been through countless experiences, and many types of people, there’s nothing that could make him blush.

"Haha, boss, that pretty boy—no, that red-faced kid—was just too funny."

Butcher suddenly burst out laughing as Shangguan Mingshang left, making Shangguan Mingshang’s pace falter, though he didn’t turn back and left.

"Don’t provoke him too much. Although he’s young, his strength surpasses you all, so be careful," Lin Fei advised, worried not for himself but for his brothers, stepping into the Ancient Martial World, naturally causing concern.

"Don’t worry, boss. I know woman and petty men are the hardest to deal with— that guy is clearly a petty man!" Butcher labeled Shangguan Mingshang.

"Haha, where did you learn that saying?" Lin Fei asked with a laugh.

"Of course, Xiao Ya taught me, didn’t she?" Butcher said, hugging Wang Xiaoya next to him with a grin.

Wang Xiaoya rolled her eyes at Butcher, "Weren’t you just saying women are hard to deal with? Why ask me then? I shouldn’t have taught you that phrase."

"Hehe." Butcher laughed awkwardly, "I didn’t mean you; I meant everyone else besides you."

"Butcher, you’re saying that about the sisters-in-law?" Radar quipped.

"Sisters-in-law? Aren’t they taken care of by the boss? Whether they’re easy to deal with, you should ask the boss!" Butcher laughed hard.

Radar was speechless, "I see you’ve been getting smarter, Radar."

Butcher thought for a moment, "I call it the influence of proximity."

"Damn, Butcher, you now know how to use idioms to insult people. Are you saying we used to be dumb?"

Butcher smiled smugly, "I didn’t say that; you admitted it yourself, so don’t blame me."

"This Butcher, boss, you better rein him in, or he’ll get out of hand," Radar shouted at Lin Fei. Lin Fei laughed, "Butcher being smarter isn’t a bad thing, is it? I think it’s great."

Lin Fei knew that stepping into the Ancient Martial World changes physical functions, some people experience an awakening that transforms them like the enlightening touch of wisdom—this is the awakening of talent.

Some people of ordinary aptitude can suddenly become geniuses—it’s not impossible; at least the Sect Leader senior told her this.

Butcher’s mind being quicker is clearly a significant change; no longer recklessly charging, now he’s smarter, and might become the strongest among them.

The group chatted and laughed, reaching the edge of the battlefield. Lin Fei led them to the audience area. After choosing a spot, Lin Fei and those participating headed to the candidates’ area, where they should wait.

Reaching the candidate area, many family members and Sect disciples were present; due to the large number, they had to start the preliminaries to eliminate many weak contestants.

Lin Fei and his brothers were honored to be predetermined entries.

As for Radar and the others, although only cultivating for a month or two, their strength was enough to train here. If unable to beat opponents, they could admit defeat later.

The preliminaries quickly commenced—win ten matches to succeed and advance. Lin Fei and the others, as predetermined entries, waited to be called and participate directly.

Yet Lin Fei and company underestimated the strength of the various Sects’ disciples; the preliminaries took an entire day, leaving predetermined entries with no chance but to return.

"Damn it, what’s taking so long! My fists are itching!" Butcher’s voice echoed in the audience.

"Seriously, where did this ignorant kid come from? Such low strength yet boasting shamelessly—it’s ridiculous!" A voice caught Butcher and Lin Fei’s attention.
