The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 1604 - 1609: Longing for the Upper Realm
Lin Fei indeed felt very embarrassed. After all, what the ten elders said was true; it was he who acted excessively first. It had been a long time since he last saw the ten elders, and if it weren’t for the discovery of surveillance equipment inside Lin Fei last time, the Generals probably wouldn’t have seen him.
"If we give you face, would you still come back?" Elder Qin asked.
Lin Fei awkwardly laughed, "Well, I’m here now, right? Elder Qin, what do you think of my proposal? Does it work or not?"
"Of course! Mu Group’s achievements have already exceeded our expectations, so we agree with this matter. Besides, you are Mo Country’s enterprise, bringing glory to the nation. Of course, we support your son’s marriage. Moreover, we have learned that many countries will extend their blessings to you." The Generals had done their homework thoroughly, resulting in reliable information.
Lin Fei nodded, "In that case, I’ll be going now..."
"I’ll beat you to death!"
Elder Qin couldn’t hold back anymore and rushed to hit Lin Fei on the head, while the other elders hurriedly held him back. Lin Fei chuckled, "I was just joking."
"It’s just that you only think of us when you have something, and ignore us otherwise." Elder Qin calmed down, smiled, and looked rather handsome.
Lin Fei then chatted with the Generals about various things, mostly about the hardships he had endured over the years.
At this moment, after indulging in a hearty meal and drink, Elder Qin spoke to Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, are you willing to become a General now?"
Hearing Elder Qin say that, Lin Fei was speechless, "I can’t be a General; I’m born with a lowly destiny. How could I possibly become one of the country’s leaders? Have you forgotten about the Beidou incident? I fear I might lead an army and unite Earth."
Hearing Lin Fei’s candid reply, the ten Generals were speechless; perhaps it might indeed happen.
"Really not willing?"
"Not willing."
Two days later, Lin Fei finally left the General’s residence. During these two days, Lin Fei had accompanied the Generals chatting, playing chess, drinking tea, and making jokes, without discussing any national matters. This was what Lin Fei admired most; the ten elders had completely treated him as a friend. Lin Fei knew that if the country were truly in trouble, he would certainly take action, as this was his country, and he belonged to it.
During these two days, the entire world was already in turmoil.
The majority of TV stations and media were reporting the news that Lin Fei’s son, Lin An, was about to get married.
The real-world frenzy had also ignited the entire Ancient Martial World.
Someone in the Ancient Martial World spread the news that Lin Fei’s son was getting married, prompting all the forces in the Ancient Martial World to come forward. They prepared gifts and planned to go to New City to congratulate Lin Fei’s son.
Yet, Lin Fei was unaware of these matters, still at home playing games. Recently, Lin Fei discovered that he was deeply obsessed with the current games, especially with exploring the unknown world.
However, Lin Fei was very clever, and since the game headset could now synchronize with real-world body data, Lin Fei’s physical stats were off the charts. After playing a game for about a day, he explored the entire game world.
But Lin Fei was even more eager to explore unknown worlds. Finally, he put down the game headset and came to the rooftop, gazing at the sky.
"Upper Realm... I hear it’s extremely dangerous, but also full of opportunities, very, very vast..." Lin Fei murmured, contemplating that if he had the chance, he would go to Upper Realm for a thrill.
However, Lin Fei knew he might not have this opportunity; he needed to guard the Lower Realm. At least until Lin Fei finished protecting the Lower Realm, he couldn’t leave, unless he found someone who could guard it, otherwise, he couldn’t leave the Lower Realm.
Lin Fei stood on the rooftop, while Mu Shanshan was searching for him. Finally, seeing Lin Fei on the rooftop, she also went up, coming to stand beside him.
"What are you thinking?" Mu Shanshan asked upon seeing Lin Fei’s expression full of longing as he gazed at the sky, seeming to understand somewhat.
Lin Fei shook his head, retracting his gaze to look at Mu Shanshan, "Nothing much, have all the matters been handled?"
"They’ve been taken care of. Husband, are you thinking about going to Upper Realm?" Mu Shanshan asked Lin Fei.
"Why would you ask that?" Lin Fei was puzzled, did Mu Shanshan know something? Or had she already detected something?
Mu Shanshan sighed, "Husband, I know your strength is currently very powerful, right?"
"Haha, it’s okay. At least in the Lower Realm, I should have no adversaries." Lin Fei replied, but recalling those from Upper Realm being suppressed in cultivation when they come down, Lin Fei furrowed his brows, uncertain if he could defeat them should he go to Upper Realm.
"Since your strength has reached the pinnacle of this world, you would naturally feel a sense of boredom, like a grown-up bird that wouldn’t understand that the rooftop isn’t the true sky unless it hits the rooftop." Mu Shanshan said, seemingly comprehending Lin Fei’s current thoughts very well.
Lin Fei undeniably nodded, "You’re right. I... I indeed want to go to Upper Realm and see. After all, they all say how dangerous and powerful it is, with so many unknowns..." Lin Fei honestly expressed his thoughts, unsure if Mu Shanshan would agree, but he knew he shouldn’t hide it from her.
Mu Shanshan smiled and hugged Lin Fei from behind, "If you want to go, just go, don’t worry about us. We’ll take good care of ourselves and strive in cultivation, so we can accompany you in the future."
