Only My Way

That day.

Night fell.

Within the extravagant 【White Mist Kingdom Palace】.

Yi Guangxiang, having finished his political affairs for the day, held intelligence reports submitted by his subordinates in one hand, while the other habitually stroked the wooden armrest of his chair, carved with the images of rare beasts, as if he were reading a newspaper while petting a pet.

Unlike other families and forces, who in this world of limited information flow, often only obtained superficial information about Ling Wuyuan.

Thanks to the high-speed operation of the state machinery.

The intelligence report presented by the official intelligence department in Yi Guangxiang's hand regarding Ling Wuyuan was remarkably detailed.

So detailed that it almost clearly wrote out most of Ling Wuyuan's surface information.

Even going back to his early days, detailing which gang secret manuals Ling Wuyuan practiced in the 【White Crow Gang】, who taught him, his grades in various subjects, which medicinal materials he purchased from the gang's pharmacy, who he had good relationships with, why he attacked the 【Crimson Fire Bandits】... all were covered.

From these aspects.

As someone who occupies the moral high ground of the nation.

Within this country.

There were indeed few things that could be hidden from Yi Guangxiang.

As long as he was willing.

Many things that seemed mysterious and elusive to ordinary people were merely within reach.

And this.

Was still under the circumstances where 【Snow Deer Province】 was the direct territory of 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】.

If there was no interference from 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】.

Yi Guangxiang could completely investigate even more things!

'True background unknown.'

'First appeared in 【Black Rock City】.'

'Extremely precocious personality, has been hiding himself since a very young age.'

'Exceptional talent in cultivation, likes to read books...'

'Why did he join the 【White Crow Gang】?'

'When did he obtain the 【Azure Lake White Ripple Palace Inheritance】?'

'Could it be that he is actually a remnant of the 【Azure Lake White Ripple Palace】?'

Thinking about these things.

Yi Guangxiang became even more interested in Ling Wuyuan's so-called true background.

However, no matter how deeply he thought, he would never have imagined that Ling Wuyuan was actually a transmigrator.

After an unknown amount of time.

After some thought, Yi Guangxiang finally looked at a certain comment about Nangong Yun—【According to investigations, this person had already reached the peak of the Qi Nurturing Realm a year ago, belonging to a hidden genius of the Nangong family, but has now been kicked into a cripple by Ling Wuyuan.】

Various thoughts.

Could not help but turn into a few self-deprecating sighs:

"What a pity..."

"Such a talented person was actually picked up by 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】..."

"If, back then, the imperial court could have acted more decisively, it would have been better..."

Of course.

That being said.

It sounded like he regretted not being able to recruit Ling Wuyuan.

But Yi Guangxiang remembered very clearly.

Back then, when he heard that Ling Wuyuan had successfully obtained the 【Azure Lake White Ripple Palace Inheritance】.

Even he had the idea of killing and seizing the treasure.

He even sent people to collect some related information.

However.

Before things could even progress.

New news had already arrived.

The news that Ling Wuyuan had successfully joined the 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】.

This made him have to give up those thoughts.

For the 【White Mist Kingdom Royal Family】, the 【Azure Lake White Ripple Palace Inheritance】 was certainly extremely precious and could greatly enrich the royal family's foundation, but offending the 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 for it was indeed a bit too much of a loss.

Therefore, Yi Guangxiang's self-talk was just a kind of self-consolation.

Even, compared to his side not being able to snatch the 【Azure Lake White Ripple Palace Inheritance】, the main meaning of his words was actually to secretly regret that he had not taken action earlier to nip Ling Wuyuan in the bud, leading to 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 picking up a bargain.

That was an attitude of not allowing others to benefit, even if it meant completely destroying the target.

Although they could not be called enemies, the 【White Mist Kingdom Royal Family】 and the 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 were 100% in some kind of competitive relationship.

It was just that everyone had been maintaining a peaceful status quo...

In short.

Even without the intervention of 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】, the 【White Mist Kingdom Royal Family】 would probably not recruit Ling Wuyuan.

The newest novels are at 69shuba.com!

Even if they did recruit him.

It would probably be mainly for control and supervision.

Delving into the main reason, to put it bluntly, the most straightforward truth was—【Ling Wuyuan's surname is not Yi, he does not have the bloodline of the White Mist Kingdom Royal Family】, this kind of thing fundamentally determined the 【White Mist Kingdom Royal Family's】 attitude towards him.

Even if Ling Wuyuan were to marry a princess or county princess after joining them and become a consort or something, in a family-type force where bloodline and kinship are most important, it would be difficult for him to mix into the most core area.

Family and blood ties.

While being something that can unite one's own people, they also exclude many things...

This is a kind of inevitable relationship of pros and cons.

In this regard, 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】, as a sect-type force, did not have so many concerns.

Because the organizational structure was relatively loose.

Everyone often relied on the relationship between master and disciple, inheritance relationship... to maintain the continuation of the sect.

Therefore, there were fewer related concerns.

Especially with Yuan Yujun, the current leader, responsible for making the final decision, the matter of 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 accepting Ling Wuyuan naturally had little resistance.

—

Seven days later, early morning.

The sky was still a bit gray.

As the opening day of the Imperial Tournament.

On this day, after several days of adjustments.

Within the entire 【Rainbow Mist City】, projections resembling virtual screens had already been projected onto the sky in advance using special tools.

This was the work of the 【White Mist Kingdom Royal Family】.

Only they had the ability to construct hundreds of giant projections in 【Rainbow Mist City】.

Once the competition began.

With the help of these virtual projections.

Even those who could not attend in person could clearly see the current situation of the entire Imperial Tournament.

Even the 【Cold Moon Palace】 could clearly see a certain projection.

Of course.

Since the Imperial Tournament was still a few hours away from starting.

Currently, those projections did not show any actual content at all.

Sitting in the carriage, casually pulling open the curtains of the carriage, and looking at the projection above her head that resembled a turbid sea of mist, Yuan Yujun glanced at the others in the carriage, and asked Ling Wuyuan and Wu Yanlian with a smile:

"Are you completely prepared?"

Wu Yanlian proudly replied: "Naturally."

Ling Wuyuan calmly replied: "Prepared."

Although the tone and manner were different.

The meanings they conveyed were exactly the same.

Hearing this, Yuan Yujun immediately smiled:

"Very good."

"Then let's depart."

At this moment!

The flying beast responsible for pulling the carriage, after roaring towards the sky, immediately dragged the giant carriage, as tall and luxurious as a palace pavilion, and flew into the boundless sky, leading the entire flying carriage team towards the entrance of the arena...
