The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1684 - 1689: Among Neighbors

"Brother, would you like to come over for a drink?" the young man said to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei smiled, "Thank you, senior brother, but I just arrived, and I need to tidy up first."

"Then I won’t insist." The young man smiled and stopped paying attention to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei looked to his right and found that his neighbor had a garden full of flowers and plants, very beautiful, with several butterflies fluttering around, making it lively.

At this moment, a sudden shout came from the side, "Who are you! How dare you peek!"

Lin Fei realized that his right-side neighbor was a woman?

Indeed, it was a woman?

Lin Fei was a bit surprised. In a place where men lived, there was unexpectedly a woman? How strange!

"Isn’t this the men’s dormitory? Why is there a woman here!" Lin Fei asked, puzzled.

The woman in front of him looked about twenty, full of charm, well-endowed in all the right places, with a pretty smiling face. However, her face was filled with an aura of hostility, making Lin Fei feel wary.

"You must be new here, right?" the woman asked.

"Yes, I just arrived as a disciple at Qianhuang Peak." Lin Fei replied.

"That explains it. Accommodation for disciples at Qianhuang Peak is mixed-gender, one person per courtyard. So, you absolutely cannot just intrude into someone else’s yard, nor can you casually peek at anything in someone else’s yard!" the woman said.

"There’s such a rule?" Lin Fei wondered, as the fence was so low, how could it possibly block anyone’s view?

"There’s no official rule; it’s my rule. Since you live next to me, I have the right to set rules!" The woman said overbearingly, giving Lin Fei no chance to respond.

Lin Fei was quite helpless, and finally, shrugged his shoulders, withdrawing his gaze, "You have the right to set rules, I have the right not to follow them."

"You!" The woman was rendered speechless by Lin Fei’s words, but she was too lazy to bother with him. Besides, seeing that he was from the Lower Realm, she remarked, "No wonder they say people from the Lower Realm are like insects; seems you too can’t escape that category!"

Lin Fei laughed dismissively, "Well, sorry about that, you’ll have to live next to an insect." Lin Fei couldn’t be bothered with such a woman, casually responding before squatting down to start weeding.

"What a sharp-tongued fellow, Li Qing! Look at your neighbor, what bad luck you have!" The woman seemed to be addressing Lin Fei’s neighbor on his left.

The young man sipping tea laughed, "Yang Yuxiang, don’t make it sound like he’s not your neighbor too. But I’m quite interested in him; not many dare provoke you."

"This kid is just reckless, daring to provoke me. I’ll teach him a lesson in due time!" Yang Yuxiang said, her tone full of arrogance.

However, Lin Fei was curious. Was fighting not allowed here? Otherwise, with the woman’s arrogant tone, she would have already made a move on him if she could.

Lin Fei said nothing more, continuing his work, persistently pulling weeds from the ground. He accidentally tossed some weeds into Yang Yuxiang’s yard; the fence being only chest-high, it was easy for the weeds to go over with a flick of his hand, which infuriated Yang Yuxiang.

"Hey! You insect from the Lower Realm, you dared to throw weeds into my yard? Are you crazy?" Yang Yuxiang shouted fiercely at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei stood up, looking at Yang Yuxiang, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to. I’ll pick it up." With that, Lin Fei leaped over.

"Hey, hey! You!" Before Yang Yuxiang could finish, Lin Fei had already entered her yard, bent over to pick up the weeds, and threw them back into his own yard.

Just as he was about to leave, Yang Yuxiang shouted at Lin Fei, "You! Stop right there!"

Hearing Yang Yuxiang’s call, Lin Fei stopped, turned his head, "What is it? I’ve already picked it up and apologized, isn’t that enough?"

"Hahaha, Yang Yuxiang, it seems we finally have someone who can handle you here," Lin Fei’s other neighbor, Li Qing, said.

"That’s right, Yang Yuxiang, you’ve finally met your match, haha."

Another neighbor of Yang Yuxiang laughed, for she had been very domineering around here, and no one dared to provoke her. They didn’t expect someone to actually dare to provoke Yang Yuxiang today.

Listening to the laughter around her, Yang Yuxiang was on the verge of exploding.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going." With that, Lin Fei turned, ready to jump back into his yard, but Yang Yuxiang suddenly made a move on Lin Fei.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy, come back here!" Yang Yuxiang’s jade hand grabbed, and Lin Fei felt a strong pull, leaving him no room to resist, as he was pulled back to Yang Yuxiang’s hand.

"I wondered who was so powerful, turns out a Lower Realm insect is still an insect from the Lower Realm, so weak yet daring to anger me. Today, I’ll toss you!" With that, Yang Yuxiang threw Lin Fei into the air.

At this moment, Lin Fei’s other neighbor Li Qing spoke, "Yang Yuxiang, don’t go too far, the sect prohibits fighting in the residential area."

"I’m not fighting, I’m just playing with him." With that, Yang Yuxiang ignored Lin Fei. Lin Fei felt a powerful True Qi bind him, leaving him unable to move, and he fell face-first into his yard.

"Ouch, damn!" Even though Lin Fei wasn’t seriously hurt, he still felt a lot of pain and cursed. Then, feeling the restraint on his body disappear, he breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground.

As expected, just like Chen Tu said, it seems the people here have high cultivation, he must learn to endure!

Lin Fei stood up, and everyone thought he would retaliate, but to their surprise, Lin Fei didn’t make a move, seemingly accepting defeat, patting the dirt off his clothes, and walking back to the weeds to continue his work.

"Well, turns out he’s a coward."

"Exactly, just a coward! No wonder he’s from the Lower Realm, so timid, not manly at all!"

Mocking voices arose all around, yet Lin Fei seemed unresponsive, continuing to pluck weeds, making those who came for the show feel bored, so they stopped their jeers.

Even Li Qing and Yang Yuxiang found it strange, wondering if he really was a coward. However, from the tone earlier, it was clear that Lin Fei wasn’t someone who would yield easily.
