Only My Way

Looking at the undisguised reminiscence in Ling Wuyuan's eyes.

The man sitting beside him instinctively scratched his head.

He felt that things seemed simple but also not so simple.

After thinking for a while.

He finally blurted out such a question:

"Could it be that your family has also held similar banquets?"

Ling Wuyuan shook his head:

"No, I've only attended such banquets before."

The man felt that things were a bit difficult to understand:

"Just attended?"

"What's there to reminisce about?"

He didn't understand what was so memorable about this kind of thing.

Even ordinary people shouldn't feel deeply nostalgic about such things.

Hearing his question.

Ling Wuyuan thought for a moment.

And chose to correct him:

"Well… it doesn't really count as participating…"

After all.

Back then, he had no way to sit at the table and eat.

With that scantily clad appearance, how could he have the nerve to sit at the table and eat?

So.

He just took a chicken leg.

And stayed wherever it was cool.

Did he participate?

If so…

In any case, he managed to get a chicken leg and a spot for the [Spirit Awakening Ceremony].

But the man who didn't know the truth.

Hearing his words.

Immediately felt that Ling Wuyuan's words contained some very complex emotions.

Therefore, there must be hidden secrets!?

Like hiding some secrets.

He couldn't imagine that Ling Wuyuan's main goal was to freeload so pathetically.

So pathetically to the extreme…

Secrets?

What secrets.

The reason why Ling Wuyuan came to freeload was largely due to the idea of trying to fulfill a certain dream he once had.

The idea of wanting to sit at the table and eat in a dignified manner.

That similar scene.

Reminded him of some past events.

Therefore.

The [High-Grade Crystal Coin] that Ling Wuyuan casually threw out could also be said to have been thrown to his former self.

That's the truth of the matter.

There are no extra reasons or thoughts.

As for whether it's worth it?

That's not important.

It's worth it if I'm happy.

At this moment.

The man beside Ling Wuyuan directly understood the matter as Ling Wuyuan having experienced some unforgettable things in a similar scene before.

Although it can't be said to be right.

It can't be said to be wrong either.

He couldn't imagine that Ling Wuyuan was once a beggar who would have been content with just getting a chicken leg to eat.

He couldn't imagine it at all…

Just as the man wanted to say something more.

The arrival of another figure interrupted him:

"Guan Xiangfei, you actually came so early?"

"I thought you would be late as always…"

Hearing this.

The man called Guan Xiangfei.

Could only reply with a slightly embarrassed expression:

"It's as if I don't know how to write the word 'punctual' at all."

"I'm just occasionally too busy to delay time…"

Regarding such a self-deceiving statement.

The newcomer just waved his hand dismissively and interrupted:

"Okay, okay, okay… I believe you, I believe you."

"Speaking of… who is this sitting next to you…"

While speaking.

The other party's gaze clearly looked at Ling Wuyuan, who was sitting next to Guan Xiangfei.

And Guan Xiangfei immediately explained happily:

"This one?"

"This is Ling Wuyuan!!"

Hearing this name.

The newcomer immediately understood Ling Wuyuan's identity.

And Guan Xiangfei's words continued.

"According to him, he's just passing by to freeload."

"Anyway, I didn't bring him here…"

"To be honest, after discovering that he was actually here, I was a little surprised."

"Originally, I thought he had some friendship with your Jiang family…"

"I didn't expect him to say that he was just here to freeload… Although this meal is a bit expensive."

Although Guan Xiangfei is not short of money.

But… the price of a meal of a [High-Grade Crystal Coin].

Still made Guan Xiangfei sincerely think that the price was a bit outrageously expensive!

Even if you eat a few big tonic demon beasts.

That may not necessarily cost so much money!

And the newcomer who was not clear about the situation only felt full of question marks after listening.

He didn't quite understand what Guan Xiangfei meant by the words behind him.

However.

Based on the principle that all who come are guests.

He still smiled and said to Ling Wuyuan:

"Welcome! Welcome!"

"Please be sure to eat and drink well, Your Excellency!!"

"Moreover, I have long heard of the name of Young Hero Ling!!"

"It is also our Jiang family's honor to have Your Excellency's entry into this banquet…"

It was also at this time.

Guan Xiangfei introduced himself to Ling Wuyuan very proudly:

"By the way, I haven't revealed my identity to you yet, I am Guan Xiangfei, he is Jiang Xing."

Hearing this.

What could Ling Wuyuan say?

Of course, he responded politely:

"Oh, hello."

The attitude can only be described as lukewarm.

"…"

Looking at his cold expression.

Guan Xiangfei immediately became a little speechless.

He emphasized the introduction again:

"I am Guan Xiangfei! He is Jiang Xing!"

Making Ling Wuyuan a little speechless:

"Uh… is there any difference between the two self-introductions?"

Guan Xiangfei immediately said with a somewhat excited expression:

"Then you should react a little??"

Ling Wuyuan, who didn't understand the other party's attitude, was immediately a little dumbfounded:

"What reaction… what reaction can there be??"

Hearing this.

After a moment of silence, Guan Xiangfei said with a somewhat unbelievable expression:

"Wait… could it be that you have never heard of these two names at all??"

"Jiang Xing is fine, he can be ignored, but what about me?"

"Me, Guan Xiangfei!"

"Have you not heard of me?"

Jiang Xing: "…"

Although he wanted to ask what it meant to be ignored, after hesitating for a while, he was too lazy to speak.

After all, Guan Xiangfei is just like that.

And Ling Wuyuan's answer also directly caused a lot of damage to Guan Xiangfei.

"To be honest, I really haven't heard of it…"

Guan Xiangfei was completely unwilling to believe it:

"Are you kidding me?"

"Then what are you doing in [Dragon Peak City]?"

"Aren't you here to challenge me??"

Ling Wuyuan chose to tell the truth:

"… I'm really not here to challenge you, I don't even know who you are."

"I'm just a passerby."

"I came to [Dragon Peak City] because it was on the way, I came here to eat because I happened to find a banquet being held here when I passed by…"

As soon as this was said, Guan Xiangfei immediately suffered tons of damage!

His face was full of disbelief.

The whole person also became a little depressed.

"…"

Looking at this scene, Jiang Xing, who had already put on a dead fish eye, could only continue:

"Let me reintroduce you."

"That guy is called Guan Xiangfei, he is the strongest person among the younger generation in [Dragon Peak City], ranked second in the [Hero Ranking] of [Yunling Prefecture], and ranked forty-seventh in the [Hero Ranking] of the entire [White Mist Country]… Then, this guy received news a few days ago that you were approaching [Dragon Peak City], and thought you were coming for him, so he has been adjusting his state these past few days, and he has been quite prepared for your arrival… Then, uh… there is nothing then…"

Challenge?

Thrilling battle?

A battle for ranking with each other's honor at stake?

A battle representing the honor of [Yunling Prefecture] and [Snow Deer Prefecture] respectively?

Hum…

Who do you think you are?

What are you looking at?

Stop being so sentimental.

I'm just a passerby who's here to buy soy sauce.

Faced with this result, Guan Xiangfei, who had been conserving his energy for several days, instantly suffered a serious blow!
