Chapter 91

"Old man told you long ago, I’ll send you down to keep company, I’ll definitely send you down, no second thoughts."

Lin Fei shook his head, seriously biting into the wild fruit, juice splattering, not paying the slightest attention to the corpses on the official road.

The Zhang brothers, with their formidable strength and the psychic connection as blood brothers, could usually stand up to anyone stronger when they joined forces.

Unfortunately, they met Lin Fei.

Lin Fei, after his training in the Black Water Mountains and the battles on the Divine Martial Gate’s arena, was no longer a naive rookie. Their combined attacks were powerful, but the only flaw was in their speed.

The two brothers’ combined attack, one in front and one behind, had speed as its greatest weakness.

Lin Fei wasn’t powerful in other aspects, but he had an absolute advantage in speed.

Thus, the Zhang brothers met their doom, being killed by Lin Fei’s single strike. In fact, it was a combination of five strikes, with an extraordinary power. Even if they figured out the trick, they still couldn’t withstand the attack.

……

After killing the Zhang brothers on the official road.

Lin Fei first searched the bodies for loot, mostly silver and gold, followed by sword and knife techniques, though they were not of high quality. For Lin Fei, who was accustomed to looting, even a small amount was valuable and couldn’t be wasted or left for others.

"A bunch of poor devils, with only this much stuff on them!"

If the dead could speak, they would probably be spitting blood. They were out to kill, not to carry valuables.

Lin Fei’s luck was pretty good.

After dealing with everyone, no one appeared on the official road.

Lin Fei buried all the bodies in the woods by the road. When they would be discovered was none of his concern. No one would know, and even if the Zhang family found out, they had no evidence.

After handling the bodies, Lin Fei continued his leisurely journey.

"Zhang family, just wait and see, this isn’t over."

Lin Fei looked up at the sky, and one by one, the faces of the Zhang family appeared in his mind….

……

After the ambush on the official road.

Lin Fei’s nerves were still as thick as ever, and he moved forward leisurely. A day later, he entered the area of Guiyuan City.

Just as he stepped into the area of Guiyuan City, Lin Fei felt uncomfortable, a faint feeling lingering in his heart, making him very uneasy.

"Damn, could this be the legendary homesickness?"

Lin Fei felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

In the past, he didn’t feel anything, but when he really entered the area of Guiyuan City, that feeling pressed down on him, something he had never experienced before, making him laugh and cry at the same time.

"Lin Fei, Lin Fei, you’ve always wished to return in glory, to show those who looked down on you that you are not a waste, not a playboy. Today, I’ve helped you achieve that. As for the things you once cherished, I’ll help you complete them all!"

Lin Fei talked to himself. The term "return in glory" barely fit, but after nearly five years, it did have that flavor.

"Finally back, it seems the Zhang family doesn’t want me to have peace. But so what, no matter what you plan, I’ll see it through to the end!"

A cold light flashed in Lin Fei’s eyes, and then he returned to his previous lazy demeanor. To outsiders, it would be hard to imagine that Lin Fei had just killed over ten people.

……

Guiyuan City.

Guiyuan City, one of several cities in the Shanhe Prefecture, was neither particularly strong nor weak, ranking in the middle.

In this city, three major families stood out: the Lin family, the Li family, and the Zhang family, along with the Limitless Martial Hall, forming the power structure.

"Guiyuan City, I’m back."

When he saw the grand city of Guiyuan, memories flooded Lin Fei’s mind like a movie, making him feel as if he were right there.

Lin Fei stretched lazily, his gaze calm, looking at Guiyuan City and saying to himself.

After five years, Lin Fei’s appearance had changed significantly. He was now dressed in a black robe, with a slender and refined face.

Guiyuan City was just as he remembered.

At the city gate, people came and went, bustling with activity. Adventurer groups and mercenaries could be seen from time to time, making it a transit point.

"Xiaohei, let’s go." Lin Fei patted the black horse.

……

After paying one tael of silver.

Lin Fei led the black horse into Guiyuan City, which he had been away from for five years.

Despite being his first time there, the feeling Guiyuan City gave him was as if he had grown up there, with an incredibly familiar sensation.

After five years, Guiyuan City had not changed much, and some areas had even been expanded, making it even more grandiose than before.

Lin Fei didn’t rush back.

As a穿越者 (穿越者 means "穿越者" in Chinese, which translates to "穿越者" in English, but in this context, it means "a person from another world" or "a穿越者"), Lin Fei had a certain sense of resistance.

If in the Divine Martial Gate, Lin Fei felt nothing, able to talk about this and that, when he returned to Guiyuan City, he felt an inexplicable discomfort. As someone who had experienced both worlds, he knew this was caused by the Lin family.

Lin Fei was resisting.

Lin Fei was conflicted.

Therefore, he didn’t plan to return so early. He decided to walk around Guiyuan City first, to adapt to the feeling and avoid feeling uncomfortable.

Of course, some might ask, since Lin Fei was from another world, with a thick nerve, what was there to worry about or resist? But in reality, as a穿越者, Lin Fei couldn’t immediately adapt to this environment.

The previous Lin Fei and the current Lin Fei.

Two different sets of memories.

Two different eras.

This was why Lin Fei made this choice.

……

Guiyuan City.

Lin Fei first sold the black horse, with only a small loss. Given that he had already made some money on the road, he didn’t care about the silver.

Leisurely walking out of the horse market, Lin Fei hummed a tune, trying to adapt.

In his previous life on Earth, Lin Fei was just a college nobody.

In this life on the Xuantian Continent, Lin Fei became the third young master of the Lin family, a name that wasn’t very good, but his status was completely different. In Earth terms, Lin Fei had accidentally become a second-generation rich kid, a third young master.

If he had become a second-generation rich kid on Earth, Lin Fei would have been quite impressive, but on the Xuantian Continent, being a second-generation rich kid wasn’t much, especially since the Lin family seemed to be in decline, no longer a rising sun, and the situation was quite dire.

As the third young master of the Lin family, Lin Fei’s life was definitely not easy.

Walking down the street, fortunately, Lin Fei had been away for five years, and his appearance had changed significantly, so no one noticed that the third young master of the Lin family had returned to Guiyuan City.

Even if he went out now, few would recognize him.

Five years could change everything, and it had changed many things, such as… Lin Fei’s once notorious reputation. Lin Fei kept recalling, especially the familiar buildings. "Move, move, all of you, get out of my way."
