Only My Way

#197 - A promise to remember

"To be honest, I once wondered if you were no longer in the 【White Stone Country】. I even wondered if you wouldn't recognize me or if you had long forgotten what I looked like..."

"However, the information you published in the 【News Report】 directly dispelled most of my concerns, letting me know that over the years, you have actually been doing well and have always remembered our agreement..."

Hearing this,

Ling Wuyuan immediately understood the truth.

He recalled his own actions back then.

He couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile:

"So that's how it is... The news in the 【News Report】... It seems that my casual action back then really had unexpected uses."

"I originally just tried it casually."

"I didn't expect that the message would actually be successfully delivered to you."

"The reason you are here now should also be thanks to the message I published before. You learned from it that I would definitely be back before the end of the year..."

After a slight pause,

Ling Wuyuan looked at the other party, whose face was still covered with a veil.

Although he couldn't see the other party's face,

he could see that the other party's ice-blue pupils were full of seriousness.

He didn't avoid the other party's gaze.

He smiled and continued to say to Pei Yiman:

"My memory has always been very good."

"So I couldn't possibly forget you."

"Even today, I can still remember very clearly the words you once said—the words that made me firmly remember your name, so that I must not forget it when we meet next time."

"After all, I promised you back then that I would never forget."

"Of course... what I promised was not just remembering your name, but also helping you get revenge."

"In these years,"

"I have always kept these promises in mind."

Only...

Speaking of which,

a hint of helplessness appeared on Ling Wuyuan's face:

"However, to be honest, I feel that if you really want to take revenge, it seems that you don't need my help too much."

Although he didn't know what Pei Yiman's current identity and status were.

However, he already had some understanding of the power she possessed.

Logically speaking,

any one of the ten women at the door could solve the problem...

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan felt that the second promise seemed unnecessary for him to fulfill.

At the same time,

as a person whose emotional intelligence may not be too high, but is definitely not dull,

he could sense that Pei Yiman's feelings for him were a bit unusually complicated.

This made the emotions in his heart,

in addition to the comfort of meeting someone he knew after many years,

inevitably give rise to some other fluctuations.

He didn't understand why Pei Yiman's emotions appeared and grew.

Was it due to the helplessness of her childhood?

Was it due to some of his words in the past?

Or was it simply due to his help back then?

... ...

Only...

As a casual person,

he didn't dwell on this too much.

After all, emotions themselves don't need too many reasons.

That kind of thing itself is unclear and inexplicable.

Even gods and Buddhas in the world can hardly understand it...

For himself,

whether it's life

or emotion,

just go with the flow.

Suitable is suitable.

Unsuitable is unsuitable.

His life doesn't need too much coyness.

To put it bluntly.

He neither practices the Path of Emotionlessness, nor the Sunflower Manual, nor any Boy's Skill.

So, soon, Ling Wuyuan put aside those distracting thoughts and chose to take it one step at a time.

At this time.

Hearing his complaint,

the complaint that he had finally achieved great success in his divine skill, but it seemed that the problem didn't need him to solve.

Pei Yiman smiled and said:

"No."

"You are wrong about that."

"In fact, that matter still needs you to solve."

"In my heart, only you or I are qualified to destroy those people."

"Because other than you and me, everyone else is actually a third party."

"And with my current strength, it is still a bit too difficult to deal with those guys who have been immersed in the 【Nascent Origin Realm】 for a long time."

"So, Wuyuan, in the final analysis, things still need you to take action."

"Of course, if I think about it, you should have been looking forward to this for a long time, haven't you?"

After a slight pause,

Pei Yiman put her hand on her heart, and she said in a very affirmative tone: "Although there is no evidence, I can feel very clearly that you should want to use the blood of those guys to prove something..."

"As early as when you promised me to avenge me, I realized that you might be looking forward to something..."

"Some kind of goal?"

"Perhaps it can be described like this..."

"In short, although logically speaking, it would be better for me to do that kind of thing myself, but just like our agreement back then, I am still willing to entrust the process of revenge to you."

"As long as the final result of the matter is as you and I agreed."

After a brief silence.

Ling Wuyuan could only nod helplessly:

"... ... Okay, your feeling is really keen."

He said truthfully:

"I do want to use the blood of those guys to prove or verify something."

"I want to see if I have stepped into a brand new stage of life..."

"And the existence of those guys is a very suitable target."

"A target that I had chosen a long time ago!"

Pei Yiman was immediately very satisfied.

"Very good, Wuyuan, then you should kill them with your own hands."

"Use their deaths to verify what you want to verify and complete the agreement between you and me."

"Perhaps even fate has chosen to stand on our side, and today happens to be a special day. The main members of the three major families will all return to 【Black Stone City】 today, gathering together in the Miao family to discuss certain matters."

"As for those miscellaneous fish who didn't come back?"

"There is no need to care."

"Through years of investigation, I already have a list."

"For those guys, I only need to arrange some manpower to clear them out at designated locations."

Originally, at first, Ling Wuyuan was thinking that after he had cleared out all the main forces of the target, he only needed to issue a reward, and he could use the hands of other forces to clear out the remaining remnants.

But listening to Pei Yiman's words.

That was obviously no longer necessary.

"Okay."

"Then shall I do it now?"

Even after many years, he still remembered the residences of those three families.

Pei Yiman shook her head:

"No need to be so anxious."

"Wait until tonight."

"Wait until everyone is here before taking action."

"For now, I want to talk to you."

"I have a lot to say to you..."
