Only My Way

Chapter 121: [Cloud Ridge State Prodigy List - Twenty-second Rank - Zhang Yue]

Half an hour later.

Ling Wuyuan arrived at a restaurant that looked decent.

Before he could dismount, a waiter standing in front of the door to attract customers immediately came forward and bowed to him enthusiastically, saying:

"Guest, are you here for lodging or dining?"

Ling Wuyuan casually replied:

"Dining."

"Arrange the best private room for me, and then, based on the food intake of ten ordinary adults, just bring up your most famous dishes directly."

"Don't save money for me."

Upon hearing this, the waiter, who loved such generous customers, nodded repeatedly and said:

"Okay! Okay!"

"Would you like some wine?"

"Our orange plum soup and various fruit wines are quite famous in the nearby area, and people often come here to buy some wine to take home and drink slowly..."

After thinking for a while, Ling Wuyuan said:

"Then get me a pound of the best fruit wine."

With his current physique, he could drink even high-proof alcohol like water, so he didn't mind trying the local specialty wine.

Anyway, it was just a beverage.

"Okay, no problem, I'll have someone take your horse to the stable. Please follow me to the private room on the third floor..."

—

Another half an hour passed.

Inside the private room.

Dishes were being served one after another.

Sitting by the railing, Ling Wuyuan only needed to lower his head slightly to observe the performers singing and playing music on the stage on the first floor of the restaurant from above.

He could even easily see guests constantly coming and going.

"Guest, this is honey-glazed crispy roast duck. The taste will change when it's cold, so please eat it while it's hot..."

Listening to the courteous words of the waiter serving the food, Ling Wuyuan simply nodded calmly, then held the fruit wine in one hand and casually picked up dishes with the other, putting them into his mouth.

But at this moment, a burst of exclamations came from the entrance of the restaurant.

"That person seems to be Zhang Yue! ?"

"That is Zhang Yue!"

"What does he want to do by bringing people here with such fanfare?"

"This…"

Hearing these noises, even the waiter who was serving the food showed some curiosity and surprise on his face.

Unlike Ling Wuyuan, a name that was a bit unfamiliar to the locals.

Zhang Yue was quite famous locally, regarded as a recognized rising star in the entire city, the pride of all the locals.

What the waiter found difficult to understand was why Zhang Yue would suddenly come here.

Everyone in the city knew very well that due to his home address, Zhang Yue's activities were generally limited to the south side of the city, while this was the north side.

However, although he didn't understand the actual situation, out of curiosity, the waiter who had just finished serving the food couldn't help but lean his head down, wanting to see what this local celebrity looked like.

In this world where communication was inconvenient.

Even locals found it difficult to figure out what local celebrities looked like.

Often, all kinds of exaggerated rumors would spread.

Such as the other party having three heads and six arms or something.

Ling Wuyuan, who was eating and drinking, also turned his gaze slightly towards the gate after hearing that the person who came seemed to be important.

He was interested in seeing what kind of monsters those guys who were attracting monsters for him for free could attract.

Soon, the matter was revealed!

It was a young man with a rather good appearance, about twenty-three or four years old.

Dressed in a dark green outfit, he was surrounded by people and caused a series of exclamations as soon as he walked into the restaurant!

Many people immediately showed joy, as excited as if they had seen a big star in person!

Even the few women who were silently playing the zither on the stage showed excitement and joy, causing the originally steady and long zither music to speed up a bit.

At the same time.

The restaurant's owner, rubbing his hands, quickly approached the other party with a flattering expression.

"Isn't this Young Master Zhang?"

"Why are you here?"

"Your arrival truly makes our entire restaurant shine!!"

But Zhang Yue didn't care about any of this. After looking around, he quickly and successfully found his target for this trip, the guy he had been waiting for for two or three days.

No need for extra communication.

Just a simple look at each other from a distance of twenty or thirty meters was enough for him to deeply understand that the other party was the person he was looking for.

Even though those eyes were extremely calm, they still revealed a kind of unstoppable feeling.

Making him instinctively feel alarmed.

And making him instinctively sigh:

"As expected of a rising star who can say such bold words!!"

The next moment.

Before the restaurant owner could approach, Zhang Yue simply jumped lightly amidst the puzzled or shocked gazes of everyone, easily crossing the distance of twenty or thirty meters, like a high-speed soaring bird, steadily stepping on the edge railing of Ling Wuyuan's private room.

Ignoring the waiter's shocked expression.

Looking at Ling Wuyuan who was eating.

Without superfluous pleasantries.

Zhang Yue smiled and proposed to Ling Wuyuan:

"Although this is an uninvited visit, please forgive me!"

"I am very happy to be able to see you in person, Ling Wuyuan, who is ranked [Sixth on the Snow Deer State Prodigy List] and [Ninety-fourth on the White Mist Nation Prodigy List]."

"I am Zhang Yue, ranked [Twenty-second on the Cloud Ridge State Prodigy List]!"

"Can we have a match?"

"I want to see what kind of strength a person who can be on the [National List] has!"

It was a very direct challenge.

Without any superfluous twists and turns.

And his actions and words immediately made the waiter in the private room, who was still poking his head out just now, wanting to see what his idol looked like, reveal an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The same was true for the rest of the people in the restaurant.

Making the atmosphere quiet!

Everyone didn't expect that there would be an even more important person in this restaurant.

However, regarding his actions, Ling Wuyuan, after thinking about it with a frown, just asked very calmly:

"It's possible."

"But you have to wait for me to finish my meal."

Hearing Ling Wuyuan agree so readily.

Zhang Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem!"

Then he turned his head and shouted to his family servants who were still on the first floor:

"Chen Tian, help me book the martial arts arena in the city center, and then evacuate all unrelated people from that area!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

After speaking, the other party jumped off the railing without any politeness, found a seat and sat down, and asked Ling Wuyuan with a smile:

"Do you mind if I freeload a meal?"

Ling Wuyuan shrugged his shoulders: "I don't mind."

"Thank you, then I'll treat this meal, just as a token of hospitality."

Then, he instructed the waiter who was still in a daze beside him:

"Go and have your boss make all the best dishes in the store and bring them up!"

While speaking.

Zhang Yue also poured himself a glass of fruit wine and toasted Ling Wuyuan very boldly:

"In short, welcome to our [Huilin City], Ling Wuyuan!"

"As the young master of the local Zhang family, I, Zhang Yue, also represent [Huilin City - Zhang Family] in offering you a toast!!"

Hearing this, Ling Wuyuan naturally raised his glass in return:

"Don't be so polite, I'm just passing by."

For a time.

The two got along harmoniously, and there was no feeling of wanting to fight to the death upon meeting...

After all, there wasn't so much life-and-death struggle upon meeting in life...

However, this meeting between the two caused an uproar on the scene!

"Wow!"

"Zhang Yue is actually going to fight Ling Wuyuan, who is ranked [Sixth on the Snow Deer State Prodigy List] and [Ninety-fourth on the White Mist Nation Prodigy List]? ?"

"This is really big news!!"

Many people were so excited that they couldn't control themselves!

Before long.

With these people as the center.

The news quickly spread to all areas of the entire [Huilin City], causing even more ripples, causing a large number of people to go to the city center martial arts arena in advance as if it were a festival, wanting to occupy a good viewing position in advance!!
