The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1694 - 1699: Qian Miao’s Scheme

"Sister, you think it’s unimportant because you don’t understand the situation. Do you think the old Sect Master really handed the Godspeed Talisman to me? Does he only have this method? Would he just let me pass it on to others? If it could truly be passed to others, the Godspeed Talisman would have spread throughout the Upper Realm by now!" Lin Fei said.

Hearing Lin Fei’s words, senior apprentice-sister Qian Miao also found it very reasonable. After all, the old Sect Master couldn’t have just casually given Lin Fei the Godspeed Talisman, and even if he did, it couldn’t be without precautions. Just like Lin Fei said, if it could be casually passed on, wouldn’t the Godspeed Talisman have spread throughout the Upper Realm?

"You’re saying that the inheritance you received is limited?" Qian Miao asked.

Lin Fei nodded, "This limitation is very strong. You know, big figures don’t allow their things to be leaked to others. Moreover, this thing is very important. Sister, do you think this Cultivation Technique is important or not?"

Qian Miao nodded, feeling that Lin Fei’s words made a lot of sense.

"Since that’s the case, isn’t that right? The old Sect Master restricted me from spreading the Godspeed Talisman in my mind to prevent others from prying. If I can’t cultivate the first layer, the second layer won’t appear. Only after mastering the first layer will the second layer appear in my mind. It’s that simple. So, sister, you’re making things difficult for me!" Lin Fei said helplessly.

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s explanation, Qian Miao frowned; she didn’t expect things to be so complex. It seemed she had oversimplified matters, leading to the current result—leaving empty-handed.

"So, at which layer have you cultivated to now?" Qian Miao asked.

Lin Fei was speechless, "Senior sister, do you think I’m cultivating the Sunflower Manual? Achieving it in one go—this Godspeed Talisman has nine layers, and I’ve only cultivated the first layer myself."

"The first layer? Are you joking? Haven’t you been cultivating?"

Lin Fei shrugged, "I’ve been busy enhancing my cultivation these days, and I haven’t had time to look at the Godspeed Talisman."

Qian Miao was speechless. Hearing Lin Fei’s words was like hearing a world-class tycoon say, ’I’m having lunch; no time to dig for gold.’

Clearly holding such great treasure and yet not even thinking about ways to obtain it—just idling and wasting time—truly a crime!

"Are you sure you’re not deceiving me?" At this moment, Qian Miao couldn’t help but wonder in her mind if Lin Fei had been deceiving her all along.

Lin Fei was speechless, looking at Qian Miao in front of him. This woman was sometimes quite clever but other times exceedingly stupid. He said, "Senior sister, do you think I’d dare deceive an emperor? If you think I could deceive an emperor, I have nothing more to say."

Upon hearing this, Qian Miao nodded, feeling Lin Fei shouldn’t deceive an emperor, thus believing his words were reliable.

"In that case, I’ll report this matter to the Confucian Emperor and then see what to do next." Qian Miao didn’t know what to do; after all, she couldn’t make the decision and could only wait for the Confucian Emperor’s decision.

"Well, since the matter is resolved, should I be heading out?" Lin Fei tentatively asked.

"Heading out? Sure, it’s been so long, the matter should be concluded by now. Go ahead and head out!" Qian Miao said.

However, at this moment, Lin Fei stopped in his tracks. Qian Miao looked at Lin Fei strangely, "Weren’t you about to leave? Go on, why aren’t you leaving?"

Lin Fei chuckled, "Sister, were you talking about the time for ’business’ matters?"

"Of course, what else?" Qian Miao looked at Lin Fei puzzled.

Lin Fei smirked, understanding the meaning. It turned out Qian Miao wanted to create that kind of illusion hence her mention of the ’business’ time being up. But Lin Fei knew that only half an hour had passed!

He needed at least two hours to wrap things up!

Thus, Lin Fei said, "Sister, if we’re talking about the time for ’business,’ then I fear we need to wait a bit longer. My ’business’ time tends to be quite lengthy, and since we’re staging a play, it should be all-out, shouldn’t it? If I emerge so quickly from a female disciple’s room, won’t the act fall apart!"

Hearing this, Qian Miao nodded; it indeed made sense. But then Qian Miao’s face darkened as she said, "Didn’t you say you’ve never experienced something like this before? You dare deceive me!"

"Sister misunderstood. I meant, that’s just self-serving time...," Lin Fei hurriedly explained.

Even in the Upper Realm and among women, they somewhat understood these matters. So when Lin Fei mentioned this, he gestured between his legs, leading Qian Miao to retort coldly, "Shameless!"

Thus, Qian Miao was deceived by Lin Fei in the end. After spending four or five hours in the room, she finally emerged, and Lin Fei was very satisfied.

And it was at this moment that Lin Fei stopped once more. He was about to reach for Qian Miao’s neck when she shot him a glare. He reluctantly withdrew his hands, saying, "Sister, since it’s our ’act,’ you should portray it a bit more fittingly. Look at how tightly buttoned you are; it will surely raise suspicions. You should loosen them up a bit and show a hint of embarrassment, that would solve it."

Upon hearing this, Qian Miao snorted coldly, unbuttoning her collar and taking a deep breath, showing an expression of breezy satisfaction.

The room door opened, presenting the earlier scene, and then Lin Fei was blocked, questioned on what happened within the room. Lin Fei certainly couldn’t say anything; if he did, he feared the Confucian Emperor might wipe him out!

After all, a ruler is a ruler!

The Qianhuang Peak housed many formidable figures, so Lin Fei dared not provoke them, thus refraining from speaking recklessly. He called upon his senior sister for help, who porously charged in and beat the guy who offended Lin Fei.

Yet Lin Fei felt uneasy; he was being threatened, and in serious danger since the opponent was the Confucian Emperor. That guy’s powers and skills surpassed his a thousand-fold. With one fingertip, the opponent could crush him. Lin Fei knew he couldn’t take any risks.

From these reflections, Lin Fei realized he must emphasize the Godspeed Talisman’s value. Since the opponent was already a renowned Emperor-level expert who had shown a keen interest in it, indicated the talisman was indeed extraordinary.

Lin Fei immediately thought of diligently cultivating the Godspeed Talisman. This way, he’d at least possess a life-saving technique.

"Sister, farewell." Lin Fei blinked at Qian Miao, practically flirting with his senior sister in front of all the disciples.
