The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1347 - 1350: Lesser Clans, Great Clans, and Noble Houses

"He’s definitely not a simple person, definitely an elite of a sect. Looks like the Lv Family finally got humbled, but they won’t let it go. The Lv Family will definitely think of a way to save face from this humiliation!"

"Indeed, such a pity for a genius, but in the end, he can only be killed."

Lin Fei slammed the door shut and went into his room; he couldn’t be bothered with the outside matters. Yet, the thing that annoyed him happened again—Leng Daoqiu, the Sect Leader, had actually come looking for him!

"Lin Fei, come out!" Leng Daoqiu said.

The door creaked open.

Lin Fei looked at Leng Daoqiu in front of him and asked, "Senior Brother, what do you want? I was sleeping. Can’t you stop bothering me?"

"Did you just hit someone from the Lv Family?" Leng Daoqiu asked, his voice cold and chilling.

"Someone from the Lv Family? No, just beat up a couple of dogs who were barking recklessly in our Beidou Sect, thinking they owned the place. So, I taught those two dogs a lesson on behalf of you, Senior Brother," Lin Fei said.

The crowd around them was quite shocked to hear Lin Fei call Leng Daoqiu Senior Brother; they didn’t expect Lin Fei to blatantly call Lv Xiaofu and Lv Forty dogs right in front of Leng Daoqiu. Such boldness was beyond what ordinary people could muster. Many there admired Lin Fei’s courage and audacity.

Leng Daoqiu glanced at the crowd around them and said, "Come over here!"

Lin Fei followed Leng Daoqiu into the distance, speaking as he went, "Senior Brother, don’t you have the habit of disturbing people while they sleep? It’s not a good habit!"

Leng Daoqiu ignored all of Lin Fei’s verbal "taunts" and brought Lin Fei to the Sect Leader’s hall, a place he was allowed to reside in. "Lin Fei, do you know the identity of the Lv Family?"

"Lv Family? I don’t know, but I do know I’m a disciple of the Beidou Sect. The Lv Family, on Beidou Sect’s territory, acted wildly and insulted Beidou Sect’s Master. Not killing them was already merciful of me," Lin Fei said.

"You’re saying they insulted our Beidou Sect’s Master? Is it true? Outrageous!" Leng Daoqiu said coldly, obviously angry. After all, he’s the Sect Leader of the Beidou Sect and has the responsibility to uphold the sect’s dignity.

"That’s why I acted, hoping Senior Brother can understand. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back to rest, goodbye." Lin Fei wasn’t in the mood for heartfelt talks with Leng Daoqiu. He respected Leng Daoqiu as a Senior Brother, but there were times when Lin Fei couldn’t stand Leng Daoqiu’s temper, so he talked back. But when it came to matters of sect dignity, Leng Daoqiu and Lin Fei shared similar views.

"Wait a moment!"

Leng Daoqiu stopped Lin Fei, saying, "You’re my junior brother and a disciple of the Beidou Sect. I don’t want you to anger other forces. You need to know, the Lv Family is one of the families, and even though we are a sect, we can’t afford to offend such families easily, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable!"

"A family? What does that mean? Is there some special significance?" Leng Daoqiu’s words piqued Lin Fei’s interest; he asked.

Leng Daoqiu snorted coldly, "Truly a newborn calf that’s not afraid of a tiger, you’re acting recklessly without knowing the other’s identity. What on earth were you thinking?"

"You don’t need to worry about my thoughts. Just explain what you meant, don’t keep dithering!" Lin Fei said coldly.

Leng Daoqiu’s expression darkened, Heaven and Earth Qi surged around him. He could easily kill Lin Fei, but he couldn’t do that. After all, Lin Fei is a disciple of the Dou Sect elder and a closed-door disciple, and the apprenticeship ceremony hadn’t yet been conducted. Everyone already knew about it. Killing Lin Fei at this time would do him no good, so he endured!

"You must understand, there are many forces in this world, most are divided into small families, prestigious families, and aristocratic families."

"There’s such a distinction? Really interesting. How about the power of these families? Can prestigious families really contend with a sect?" Lin Fei asked.

Leng Daoqiu looked towards the door and said, "Small families are just that, small. In the world of Ancient Martial Artists, there are countless small families, while prestigious families are much fewer. As for aristocratic families, they are very large and can’t be underestimated by even the sects."

"Is the Murong Family considered an aristocratic family? Didn’t we just disregard them?" Lin Fei laughed, sitting in the seat meant for the Sect Leader, crossing his legs.

"The Murong Family is not as simple as you think. The ambitions of the Murong Family have always been emphasized by the Master, but the Murong Family has always been hiding it very well, but there’s no evidence," Leng Daoqiu said, eyes flashing with cold light.

"If we had evidence, could the sect wipe them out?" Lin Fei probed.

Leng Daoqiu turned, looked at Lin Fei, and smiled, "You’re thinking too simply. Aristocratic families are not like small families; their roots go deep underground and are not so easily uprooted. They’ve even infiltrated every force. Even our Beidou Sect has no fewer than a hundred people from the Murong Family among us, including an elder. Do you think it’s easy to uproot them entirely?"

Lin Fei laughed, "It seems like our sect’s power is many times greater than these aristocratic families?"

"Of course, but a sect also has its disadvantages. Sometimes, a sect is not as good as a family, because the unity and cohesion of a family are not something a sect can match. But a sect is definitely larger than a family, got it?"

"Pretty much, I kind of understand," Lin Fei said.

"Then hurry up and get out of here; you’re not welcome! And take your feet off the chair!" Leng Daoqiu said coldly.

Lin Fei shrugged and said, "You’re really petty. We’re brothers; why act like we’re enemies?"

"The relationship of brothers only exists between you and me. Without this relationship, you’d be dead already. I hope you don’t push your luck!" Leng Daoqiu said.

"Rest assured, I’m someone who repays kindness and does nothing out of line, provided I’m not provoked. I’m leaving for home to sleep. After all this nonsense, I’m tired and thirsty!" Lin Fei finished speaking and left.

Leng Daoqiu watched Lin Fei’s departing figure and said coldly, "As long as you don’t disrupt my plans, I’ll let you live a few more days..."

Lin Fei returned home, already having no intention of continuing to sleep, and headed directly to the Dou Sect Master’s place.

On the way, many people pointed and whispered about him. Lin Fei ignored them; he was who he was, and what others said was irrelevant to him.

"Is the Master in?" Lin Fei knocked on the door and asked.

"Lin Fei? Why are you here?" Liu Muqing asked. She seemed to have just come from the distance and was surprised to see Lin Fei.

"What’s up? Senior Brother, aren’t you hiding something from me?" Lin Fei looked at Liu Muqing and at the firmly closed door...
