Only My Way

Ling Wuyuan was somewhat aware of the mission Sun Ting had been tasked with and the attention from the official【White Mist Country】. However, as his calm demeanor suggested, while he wouldn't completely ignore the situation, he wouldn't dwell on it excessively.

The world was full of dangers, and he wasn't interested in racking his brains over uncertain matters.

Currently, although he sensed that certain individuals in the city were watching him, Ling Wuyuan focused his energy on the immediate matters at hand.

Such as the 【Newsstand - Kiosk】 before him.

"I'll take a city map of 【Dragon Peak City】."

Wasn't buying himself new clothes more important than worrying about those unnecessary things?

Upon hearing this, the news vendor, who had been engrossed in reading a newspaper inside the kiosk, immediately looked up and responded:

"Certainly."

With that, he promptly reached for a local map from the drawer beside him to hand to Ling Wuyuan.

However, after taking a closer look at Ling Wuyuan's attire and appearance, he hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Sir… would you also like a copy of today's 【News】?"

Observing the change in the vendor's expression and attitude, Ling Wuyuan understood that the vendor had likely recognized him but wasn't entirely sure if he was mistaken.

Adopting an indifferent attitude, Ling Wuyuan casually replied:

"Sure, give me a copy of the 【State News】."

Then, without bothering to ask how much it cost, he simply tossed a silver coin over:

"Keep the change, just point out the best tailor shop in 【Dragon Peak City】 on the map for me."

He was well aware that these 【News】 【kiosks】 might resemble small shops, but in reality, they served as information-gathering points due to their daily interactions with numerous pedestrians and various pieces of news.

As a result, these news vendors were generally well-informed.

At least in the surrounding area.

They were practically local busybodies and know-it-alls.

Many things that ordinary people were completely unaware of could be answered here.

In short, they could readily provide all sorts of gossip!

More valuable information would be passed up the chain, forming the grassroots intelligence network of the 【News】.

"Okay, okay~ You want a top-notch tailor shop, right?"

"If you're concerned about cost-effectiveness, I recommend…"

"If you don't care about the price and only care about the actual quality, my top recommendation is…"

Soon, Ling Wuyuan successfully obtained the information he needed.

【Flower Rain Woven Cloud Textiles】.

This was a tailor shop or rather, a large organization, that had existed in 【Dragon Peak City】 for over two thousand years.

The backing of this shop came from the 【Flower Rain Woven Cloud Sect】 of 【Dream Butterfly State】.

Although this sect's direct combat strength wasn't particularly strong, they were extremely skilled in using various natural-force formations and creating exquisite items.

Among them,

High-quality clothing with various effects was their sect's main product!

Basically,

Within the sphere of influence of the entire 【Dragon Peak City】, the 【Flower Rain Woven Cloud Textiles】' position as the leader in the textile industry hadn't been challenged for at least several hundred years.

Soon after,

As Ling Wuyuan flipped over and rode his horse leisurely towards the 【Flower Rain Woven Cloud Textiles】.

The news vendor immediately grabbed a piece of paper, wrote a whole bunch of words on it, then called over a child and instructed:

"Send this message to…"

-----

At the same time,

Ling Wuyuan casually flipped open the 【News】 in his hand, silently looking over the various articles.

Although most of them were basically harmless local news from 【Cloud Ridge State】.

Taking a look at them occasionally to relieve boredom was still a good choice.

At least it allowed Ling Wuyuan to understand the general situation recently.

However,

His detached leisure

Was soon interrupted by a certain piece of news, turning it into mere confusion.

【Shocking!!!】

【As everyone knows, after repeated torture and investigation of the Changyun Sect, the Shadow Plume finally managed to successfully discover an ancient evil sect that had been lurking within Cloud Ridge State for thousands of years a few days ago!!】

【Now, after the Shadow Plume—three Chief level figures—conducted an in-depth search, the Black Blood Hall force has finally gradually surfaced, directly engaging in battle with the three Chief level figures, successfully escaping the encirclement after paying some price…】

【According to reports, the Black Blood Hall has now announced responsibility for the crimson sword energy that cut through the night in the Stonefield Forest area some time ago, claiming that it was the result of a fierce battle between their sect's Supreme Elder and a powerful enemy…】

【However, after successfully slaying the powerful enemy, their Supreme Elder seemed to have suffered serious injuries, so he didn't show up during the breakout battle, presumably recovering from his injuries…】

【Furthermore, the Black Blood Hall warned the Shadow Plume not to pursue them relentlessly, claiming that if they were pushed too far, no one would benefit.】

【In addition, they also claimed that as long as the Shadow Plume was willing to give up chasing them, they would be willing to completely withdraw from White Mist Country…】

"Huh?"

"Oh~ How strange!"

After shaking his head.

Ling Wuyuan chose to read the news again.

And then, he still found the news very strange.

"You guys… what the hell…"

Although everyone out here in the martial world has their identity given to them by others or themselves.

But… coming up with the identity of a 【Black Blood Hall Supreme Elder】 right off the bat, he still found it a little hard to take.

"What's all this… are people really fighting to take the blame?"

Even though he knew that the 【Black Blood Hall】 was completely pushed to the edge by the 【Shadow Plume】, so they chose to bite the bullet and pretend, actively taking the unclaimed black pot.

But their attitude of carrying a black pot that someone else dropped on the ground and using it as a chest protector still left Ling Wuyuan extremely speechless.

However.

In the end,

Ling Wuyuan chose to forgive them.

There was no other way.

Originally, they were hiding so well, but he went crazy and blew them up.

Even!

While being chased, they didn't forget to actively clean up the trash and take the blame for him on the way to escape!!

What kind of sentiment is this??

This is the great sentiment of being beaten up by Ling Wuyuan and still actively standing up to take responsibility for him and paying for his meal out of their own pocket!!

Faced with such a touching situation, how could Ling Wuyuan have the nerve to pursue them for anything??

The answer was obvious.

He was simply too embarrassed!!

Thank you, 【Black Blood Hall】!!

Sure enough, there is true love in the world!!
