Chapter 92

PS: Thank you to "Young Master Xiao Lei" for the generous reward of 588, making me an apprentice!

On the bustling street, people were coming and going.

With the sound approaching from a distance, everyone on the street instinctively moved to the side, clearly recognizing the newcomers.

Lin Fei, the former third young master of the Lin family, naturally moved to the side, curious about when someone in Guiyuan City had the nerve to act so boldly. Could it be someone from one of the major families?

Having not returned for five years, Guiyuan City was practically a new place to him. Moreover, Lin Fei was an imposter. How could he expect an imposter to understand Guiyuan City?

That was impossible.

So, Lin Fei stood to the side.

At the end of the street, several high-headed horses approached from a distance. These high-headed horses were clearly not ordinary mounts but rather fine horses worth over ten thousand taels of silver.

On the high-headed horses, several young men were dressed in bright clothing, each one handsome and extraordinary, clearly disciples of a family.

Unfortunately, Lin Fei couldn't recognize any of them.

The newcomers seemed to have some urgent matter and boldly charged down the street, acting extremely arrogant and tyrannical.

...

Only after they left did Lin Fei return to the street, looking in their direction thoughtfully, as if something had just come to mind.

At the same time.

A few voices on the street immediately caught Lin Fei's attention.

With the strength of the Seventh Level of Martial Dao, it wasn't difficult for Lin Fei to overhear the conversation on the street.

"Hehe, it's the Zhang family again, they are simply lawless. It seems they are heading for the Lin family's shop," one middle-aged man said, as if it were a common occurrence.

"Needless to say, the Zhang family has been causing trouble for the Lin family for a long time. I heard the Lin family invited a pill refiner a few days ago, and the Zhang family naturally wouldn't sit idly by. The few people who just passed by seem to be a few young masters of the Zhang family."

As the two men chatted, one of them suddenly interjected.

"Excuse me, who were those people just now? Why did they ride their horses so recklessly on the street?"

The person who interjected was none other than Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was quite clever and didn't directly ask what those people were doing. Instead, he asked why they were riding their horses on the street, changing the way he asked the question.

The two men looked at him and saw a young man who seemed to be new. They naturally didn't pay much attention, not knowing that he was the third young master of the Lin family from five years ago.

"Little brother, are you new here?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, I just arrived. They seemed very impressive, so I wanted to ask who they were."

Lin Fei acted like a naive young man.

The middle-aged man, understanding, kindly warned, "Little brother, don't say such things next time. They are people you can't afford to offend. If you offend them, you won't be able to leave Guiyuan City. They are all from the Zhang family."

"Listen to us, the Zhang family is not to be trifled with. Next time you see people from the Zhang family, it's best to stay as far away as possible." The other man, recalling this, had a look of lingering fear and even glanced around secretly, as if worried about being discovered.

"Zhang family?" Lin Fei feigned surprise. "But I heard outside that the Lin family is the most powerful in Guiyuan City. When did the Zhang family take over?"

Lin Fei said this in a way that didn't arouse suspicion.

However, they had a look of sighing, as if recalling something.

"Hehe, young man, you're mistaken. That's old news. The Lin family is no longer what it used to be. Now they are just barely surviving."

The middle-aged man spoke.

Lin Fei clasped his hands and said, "I'm new here. I only heard about the Lin family from a friend. I didn't know it would be like this. Is there something more to it?"

Lin Fei acted like a newcomer, and they became even less suspicious.

"Actually, there isn't much to it. It's all because of what Lin Fei did back then!"

Fortunately, Lin Fei had experienced a lot. Otherwise, he would have been hit by a bullet while lying down. This has nothing to do with me; it should be the previous "Lin Fei," who has nothing to do with me.

"Lin Fei is?"

The two men looked around and, seeing no one paying attention, began to explain.

"You're new here, so you wouldn't know about Lin Fei. Five years ago, the third young master of the Lin family had the audacity to try to rape the city lord's daughter. Although he didn't succeed, it still caused a lot of trouble for the Lin family. Later, the Lin family faced many changes, losing many experts and weakening. With the incident involving the city lord, the Lin family's dominant position gradually declined..."

Lin Fei listened silently, feeling a sense of melancholy. He didn't expect this to be because of himself.

Despite the five years that had passed and Lin Fei being an imposter, he was now an imposter. The previous "Lin Fei" was finished, and all the remaining issues fell on him.

Lin Fei felt a great deal of pressure.

Currently, Lin Fei couldn't accept the Lin family. He originally planned to resolve the troubles and then focus on cultivation. However, the current situation meant that the Lin family was unknowingly caught in a storm.

"No wonder, it seems that Lin Fei wasn't a good person," Lin Fei said with a serious expression.

"Of course not. If Lin Fei had succeeded, it would be a different story. But that waste of a man couldn't even overpower a girl. Later, I heard he was sent to the Divine Martial Sect as an outer disciple and hasn't returned in five years. Moreover, the third young master of the Lin family was a playboy. In the Divine Martial Sect, he became a waste and hasn't even reached the Fourth Level of Martial Dao..."

Lin Fei knew without thinking that these rumors were definitely spread by the Zhang family and Li family. They were merely to humiliate the Lin family, using facts to tell the entire Guiyuan City that their family had produced a useless young master.

Failing to rape the city lord's daughter, disgracing men.

Failing to cultivate, still a waste after five years.

Because of this, Lin Fei's reputation in Guiyuan City was extremely bad.

"What were those people just now trying to do? They seemed to be in a hurry..."

Fortunately, Lin Fei had good mental fortitude; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control himself.

"Needless to say, they were definitely heading for the Lin family's pharmacy or the Lin family's weapon shop. If they don't cause trouble every day, the Zhang family won't let it go. With the city lord turning a blind eye, the Lin family's days are tough. Especially after the five-year competition, the Lin family will no longer be one of the three major families in Guiyuan City. Those first and second-rate forces have already set their sights on the Lin family's position. This time, the Lin family is in real trouble."

Lin Fei's expression darkened slightly. He didn't expect the situation to be like this after five years.

To be honest, Lin Fei could have ignored this.

But this time, Lin Fei wanted to settle a score. He was ambushed on the way back, and the Zhang family was remembered again.

Lin Fei understood a principle: if you are too kind, people will take advantage of you. Moreover, as the third young master of the Lin family, regardless of the Lin family's outcome, he might not have a good end.

As someone who had been through it, if Lin Fei couldn't see this, he would be like a stupid pig waiting to be slaughtered.
