Only My Way

“Wow!!”

“What an awesome speech!!”

Because she didn't have many ulterior motives.

Yan Xiujin was the first to speak among everyone.

At this moment.

Her eyes were full of admiration!

She hugged Ling Wuyuan's left arm tightly and coquettishly said:

“Big Brother Ling, if you really succeed in the future, you must take me with you!!”

That was a statement and attitude that immediately sought to latch onto a powerful figure.

No scheming.

No hesitation.

Only a straightforward “take me with you.”

It was like encountering a great player who could defeat everyone in a game.

She didn't ask for anything else; she just wanted to be carried to victory and reap some benefits.

She had no other desires…

Faced with Yan Xiujin, who was so quick to latch on.

Ling Wuyuan was also a little speechless.

There was no way around it.

This little imp's behavior was indeed simple and direct.

Even.

Ling Wuyuan felt that her actions were likely much faster than her brain…

It was possible that Yan Xiujin's brain hadn't even figured things out yet.

She had already instinctively started to cling to him…

Therefore.

Ling Wuyuan could only repeatedly respond:

“Alright, alright…”

“When the time comes, I definitely won't forget you.”

From this perspective.

The trouble Yan Xiujin brought him was actually far more than the opponents he had encountered during the challenge matches before.

After all.

Back then.

That group of people had only wasted three days of his time.

And the time he wasted just playing with Yan Xiujin was more than three days…

Of course.

He definitely wouldn't bring up this kind of thing.

If he really did that, wouldn't it be too hurtful!?

Did the challengers not need any face at all?

You have to understand.

Before.

Those challengers were not only beaten badly, but each of them was also seriously injured.

Moreover, their names were announced by the [News Report] through the list of defeated, successfully becoming stepping stones for Ling Wuyuan to gain reputation.

In short.

Just these two things were already very hurtful~

If he used them to grind experience again.

Even Ling Wuyuan, who had a heart of iron, would feel a little embarrassed.

And watching Yan Xiujin cling to Ling Wuyuan's arm and act coquettishly.

As her senior sisters.

Xi Xianlan, Bai Jingzhu, Wu Yanlian, Yao Yueyan, and Pei Suxia immediately looked at Pei Yiman with tacit understanding — [Aren't you going to do something about it?]

Although everyone didn't say it.

The look in everyone's eyes still clearly conveyed this idea to Pei Yiman.

To a large extent.

Because Pei Yiman was the one who usually spent the most time with Yan Xiujin among all the senior and junior sisters.

The words Pei Yiman said.

Still had quite a deterrent effect on Yan Xiujin.

But facing everyone's gaze.

Pei Yiman just smiled indifferently and said:

“Let her be.”

“She'll be fine when she's a little more sensible.”

Hearing this.

Looking at Yan Xiujin, who was hanging on Ling Wuyuan's left hand like a koala.

Everyone was immediately a little speechless.

They felt that with this situation.

If things went wrong.

Their youngest junior sister might really become Ling Wuyuan's little wife…

It's just that.

Looking at Pei Yiman and Ling Wuyuan, who didn't care at all.

They ultimately didn't know what to say.

They could only hope that Yan Xiujin, this little imp, would be able to successfully understand the difference between men and women after she was two years older.

Not long after.

[Jade Night Snow City].

In a shop specializing in manufacturing [Rune Equipment].

Looking at the senior and junior sisters who were picking out clothes not far away.

As the second senior sister of the group.

Bai Jingzhu shook her head slightly, then said to Ling Wuyuan beside her:

“By the way, Wuyuan, the [clothing] on your body seems to be of pretty good quality.”

“Before, the reason why they were able to successfully and completely survive the entire challenge match, in addition to your special protection, I'm afraid their quality was also key.”

Ling Wuyuan smiled and replied:

“These clothes were custom-made in [Dragon Peak City] in [Cloud Ridge State].”

“The quality is indeed very good.”

“Although it can't provide much effective protection in high-intensity battles, as long as it's used properly, there's no need to worry about appearance.”

“[Dragon Peak City] huh…”

“I've been there once before too.”

Slowly nodding, Bai Jingzhu asked with some interest:

“Which [Rune Equipment Shop] did you buy it from?”

“[Flowery Rain Weaving Cloud Textiles].”

Hearing this, Bai Jingzhu's eyes immediately lit up:

“Oh~ It's there.”

“The [Flowery Rain Weaving Cloud Sect] behind them, just talking about [Rune Equipment Manufacturing Skills], can indeed be regarded as extremely excellent in the entire [White Mist Country], even I have bought a lot of things from [Flowery Rain Weaving Cloud Textiles] in other regions…”

That was a tone that suddenly became much more energetic after hearing a topic she was interested in.

Clearly.

She was really interested in things like [Rune Equipment], and had quite a good impression of [Flowery Rain Weaving Cloud Textiles].

Speaking of the latter.

She even complained a little speechlessly:

“Back then, I actually thought about whether I should learn [Rune Equipment Manufacturing Skills], but in that area, my talent can only be considered average…”

Listening to her rambling.

Ling Wuyuan wasn't impatient.

Instead, he just listened silently.

Occasionally, he would take the initiative to say a few words.

For a time.

While Wu Yanlian and the others were there picking out clothes.

The two of them directly chatted leisurely.

The topic between them also gradually became wide-ranging.

Gradually, it slowly extended from [Rune Equipment] to other aspects.

Throughout the entire process.

What surprised Bai Jingzhu was that the knowledge Ling Wuyuan possessed was truly somewhat extraordinarily vast.

Whether it was the breadth of knowledge or the depth of knowledge.

Both reached a level that made her quite amazed.

Even some very unpopular questions and knowledge.

Ling Wuyuan could sometimes say a few words.

Not just talking nonsense.

That was a viewpoint that could only be said after having really come into contact with relevant books and seriously reading them.

As someone who liked to read.

Faced with such a knowledgeable Ling Wuyuan.

Bai Jingzhu immediately asked with some surprise:

“Do you really like to read?”

Then, without waiting for Ling Wuyuan to answer, she said with some doubt:

“But, how do you know so much?”

“Even if you like to read, considering your age, the knowledge you have is a bit too much, right…”

Faced with her doubts, Ling Wuyuan chose to answer frankly:

“I really like to read.”

“I believe that books are the ladder of progress, and one of the most effective ladders.”

“As for why I know so much…”

After touching his chin, he replied:

“It should be because I have a photographic memory, and I read books a little fast.”

Bai Jingzhu didn't quite believe it: “Just that simple?”

“Just that simple.”

This was a very affirmative tone.

“……”

Bai Jingzhu still looked doubtful.

But Ling Wuyuan's eyes were full of sincerity.

He really wasn't lying.

At most, what he said about [reading books a little fast] was a bit beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Being able to speed up his own [Incessant Swiftness], coupled with the visual capture ability to scan dozens of lines of text at a glance.

Combining the two.

Ling Wuyuan could really flip through a large pile of books in minutes…

As long as Ling Wuyuan was willing.

He could read tens of thousands of books as thick as bricks every day.

Although he might not necessarily understand them.

But wanting to memorize the contents was very easy!

Therefore.

The knowledge he currently possessed, to be honest, was really a bit too much…
