The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1417 - 1421: Cultivation

Lin Fei brought Yan Qiubo to Beidou Sect at Man Mountain, and they arrived at Liu Muqing’s office. As soon as the two entered, Liu Muqing’s voice resonated.

"You two have finally arrived." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Senior Brother, I’ve returned."

Entering the hall, Lin Fei saw Liu Muqing smiling at him. Lin Fei smiled and said, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, I hope I haven’t kept you waiting?"

"Not at all. This must be Immortal Yan Qiubo?" Liu Muqing asked.

"I, Yan Qiubo, greet Sect Leader Senior Brother." Yan Qiubo bowed to Liu Muqing, who promptly waved his hands, saying, "Absolutely not, Immortal. In terms of seniority, you are my elder, how could you salute me?"

Liu Muqing hurried forward, approaching Yan Qiubo, and cupped his hands, saying, "It is an honor indeed to have a senior like you here."

"Nonsense, I come here burdened with guilt, so how can we discuss seniority? Just deal with this impartially." Yan Qiubo said. Indeed, Yan Qiubo is older than Liu Muqing, but in the cultivation world, age doesn’t hold sway. Liu Muqing, despite being younger than Yan Qiubo, far surpasses him in strength.

With peak strength in the Ancient Martial realm, few can match Liu Muqing, thus he is undoubtedly the strongest, and his gentle, approachable demeanor earns the respect and admiration of many disciples. Liu Muqing’s charismatic personality is exactly like that.

"Senior, momentarily possessed by an evil entity, you did things you shouldn’t have. It’s understandable, however..." Liu Muqing hesitated to continue.

"However what?" Yan Qiubo asked.

Liu Muqing shook his head, saying, "Nothing really. Since you’re here, why not stay at our Beidou Sect for a few days? Leave whenever you wish."

"Aren’t you going to punish me?" Yan Qiubo queried.

"Among the myriad living beings, few possess the power to be called Immortal, only three people, you seniors are exceptional, beyond my guidance. Discussing punishment is irrelevant, and I’m not a Law Enforcer, thus I don’t have the authority to reprimand you. I’m merely advising you, with a broadened mind, the path forward is clear, and the future is bright." Liu Muqing finished before returning to his seat to continue his work.

"Broadened mind, clear path, bright future?" Yan Qiubo murmured, then nodded, "It seems your wisdom surpasses mine. Had I come here earlier to hear this, maybe I wouldn’t have fallen for the evil entity’s scheme."

"Senior, I was merely observing from the outside, so don’t dwell on it, to err is human..." Liu Muqing’s voice lingered.

"I am enlightened." Yan Qiubo nodded and promptly left the hall. Lin Fei stood there and said, "Senior Brother, if there’s nothing more, I’ll be leaving now..."

"Wait a moment," Liu Muqing immediately halted Lin Fei’s steps, saying, "Lin Fei, how can you be so impulsive, after handling this matter, you should return. You don’t need to concern yourself with Beidou Sect’s affairs. Come back whenever I need you, okay?"

Lin Fei nodded, actually wishing not to meddle. Still, he couldn’t fathom why Senior Brother spoke those words to him. Yet, he nodded, he would heed Senior Brother’s arrangements, despite not knowing why.

Could Senior Brother sense the power within me, hence advising against its use, saving it as a trump card for later? After all, the Immortal Huangshan followed him initially to act as an enforcer, thereby rendering Huangshan Immortal unnecessary.

Moreover, let’s not even mention Huangshan Immortal, Lin Fei’s resentment towards him was growing stronger. That old man left, even took his stone along, which was intolerable. However, expecting Huangshan Immortal wouldn’t act recklessly settled Lin Fei’s concerns.

After bidding farewell to Sect Leader Liu Muqing, Lin Fei went outside and encountered Yan Qiubo, or rather Yan Qiubo was waiting for him all along. Lin Fei asked, "Qiubo, why haven’t you left yet? Sect Leader Senior Brother hasn’t punished you, so shouldn’t you return to Yandang Mountain?"

"Indeed." Lin Fei nodded.

"In the future, if I leave, will you find someone else for cultivation?" Yan Qiubo asked in a playful, slightly jealous manner.

Finally, the time for separation arrived, Yan Qiubo eventually had to leave. Lin Fei truly didn’t want to part, but there was no alternative. Being an Immortal of Yandang Mountain, Yan Qiubo had to fulfill his duties.
