The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1352 - 1355: Gathering of the Hundred Clans

The surrounding crowd gasped, but no one dared to say much, fearing they would anger Shangguan Yu.

Lin Fei sneered contemptuously, ignoring the spoiled, willful girl and walked away directly.

Facing those who constantly show off their family influence and bully others, Lin Fei has always held them in disdain. Of course, if they provoke him, he won’t hold back.

The disciple recruitment event was held at the summit of Manshan, as this was the last disciple of the Dou Sect Master, naturally, it needed to be more grandiose.

Lin Fei headed home to get some rest and also to ask his senior brothers what kind of etiquette was needed, as he wouldn’t want to embarrass himself in front of so many people.

After returning home and freshening up, Lin Fei then went to Dou Sect Master to ask his senior brothers what he should prepare.

On the way, Lin Fei encountered many strangers whose attire varied, and the young individuals were not in Sect disciple clothing, so they must be there to watch the disciple recruitment event.

There were noticeably more people than at a funeral, as funerals usually involve the older generation. The scale of the disciple recruitment event is surely not limited to that.

Lin Fei arrived at the residence of the Dou Sect Master and was immediately stopped by Shu Ba.

"Hey kid, what are you doing? The apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin, and you’re wandering around? Are you trying to catch the eyes of a thousand young ladies, looking for a grand young mistress?" Shu Ba said.

Lin Fei was speechless and replied, "Senior brother, I’m not as indecent as you. I have business with the Master. He’s inside, right?"

"Yes, of course, he’s here. But you cannot go in; Senior Brother Mu Qing said you can’t enter. You should stay at home and be a quiet little wife!" Shu Ba said.

Lin Fei was speechless, asking, "Are there guests inside?" Otherwise, he couldn’t believe he couldn’t go in. It must be the Dou Sect Master meeting some guests.

Shu Ba took Lin Fei and left the place, heading to the back garden, while saying, "Let me tell you, the visitors this time are big shots; you’d better be careful."

"Big shots? Big shots are just big shots, what does it have to do with me? Why should I be careful? I haven’t done anything." Lin Fei said.

"Stop it!"

Shu Ba shook his head and said, "Don’t think I don’t know about you riling up the Lv Family. Although their family head doesn’t blame you, you’re still too young and shouldn’t be so impulsive, got it?"

Lin Fei was speechless and said, "Got it, got it. Are you going to say it or not? Otherwise, I’m leaving."

"Hey, hey! Don’t go, I’ll tell you."

Shu Ba hurried to grab Lin Fei and began, "The people coming this time aren’t ordinary folks! They’re very formidable figures from the Bai Family, other small and big families, as well as various sects. I hear you’re the last disciple, the Master’s closed-door disciple. Everyone wants to see your demeanor. You really are."

"Hmph, as if they’re here just for me." Lin Fei knew the apprenticeship was just an excuse; there were other real purposes behind it.

Seeing Lin Fei’s expression, Shu Ba pursed his lips and said, "You’re not satisfied, are you? Do you even know when I was accepted as a disciple? It was just me and the Master standing on a cliff. The Master handed me a bun, saying ’Silly child, don’t be silly, here’s a bun for you, become my disciple...’ "

Lin Fei was embarrassed, asking, "Was it really like that? That’s truly pitiful for you."

"Certainly! So you’re really lucky to be so prominent in front of the crowd, isn’t that face?" Shu Ba continued.

"I really don’t want that. By the way, which families came this time?" Lin Fei asked.

"Hmm..." Shu Ba thought for a moment and began, "As for the families, four came: Murong Family, Shangguan Family, Ximen Family, and Ouyang Family. These families used to have rich assets and backgrounds, and there are some hidden families I don’t know much about."

Lin Fei nodded and said, "That’s quite a few. Probably quite a few people came."

Suddenly, Shu Ba smiled and said, "Junior brother, thought you didn’t care? Is there your little lover among them? How many girlfriends have I seen you with? Tell me, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. My mouth doesn’t leak, just like Liu Muqing who’s fond of the eldest daughter of Shangguan Family, I won’t tell others..."

Lin Fei was speechless.

"Uh... just pretend you didn’t hear that," Shu Ba added, inadvertently revealing too much.

"Right, did all the senior brothers come back this time?" Lin Fei asked.

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s question, Shu Ba suddenly became serious, without the playful demeanor, and said, "This disciple recruitment event might be related to other things. As for whether the seniors are back, well, I can’t say for sure, but the eldest brother won’t come back."

"Why? Did something happen to the eldest brother? Who’s the eldest brother anyway? What’s his name? How come I don’t know?" Lin Fei asked. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Shu Ba sighed and explained, "You not knowing is fine. The eldest brother’s name is Dugu Aotian. In the past, when the Master was newly famous, he became a disciple under him, but after following the Master for a year, he left and never returned. No one knows where he is, not even the second senior brother."

"Second senior brother? Who is he?" Lin Fei asked confusedly.

Shu Ba looked at Lin Fei like he was dumb, saying, "The second senior brother is our Liu Muqing, didn’t you know?"

Lin Fei paused, saying, "I really didn’t know. I basically haven’t heard about it. Truly unexpected, Brother Mu Qing is the second senior brother, how old is he then?"

"Not much, just over two hundred years old..."
