Only My Way

After Ling Wuyuan and Yu Qiqing chatted casually for a couple of sentences.

Before the two could continue discussing anything useful.

A new figure quickly approached them.

It was Yue Xiuran from the [Black Minister Dynasty].

As the Third Prince of the [Black Minister Dynasty].

He brought his younger brother, the Seventh Prince of the [Black Minister Dynasty], and approached the two with familiarity, saying to Yu Qiqing in a rather enthusiastic tone:

"Brother Qiqing, you are truly exceptionally good at making friends!"

"To think you've already started chatting with people from the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] so quickly!!"

His words were spoken.

Without any awkwardness or distance.

As if they were truly close friends.

However.

Both sides understood that they were merely casual acquaintances, not even drinking buddies, at most the kind who would exchange a few words upon meeting.

Therefore, the enthusiasm displayed on the surface had no real meaning.

Utterly fake!

However, even so, neither side felt that Yue Xiuran's current behavior was problematic.

Even Yu Qiqing, who thought Yue Xiuran's arrival was ill-timed, felt that there was no problem.

Because for those born into royalty, being two-faced and spouting nonsense were basic skills mastered from childhood.

At this moment.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yu Qiqing.

Yue Xiuran directly smiled and introduced himself to Ling Wuyuan:

"This should be His Excellency Ling Wuyuan, correct?"

"After all, you are the only male member of the entire [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion]."

"I am very glad that you and the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] are able to participate in the [Golden Azure Continent Alliance Army to Subjugate the Ocean Alien Race] organized by our [Black Minister Dynasty], and jointly contribute to the great cause of all mankind…"

"My name is Yue Xiuran, and I am the Third Prince of the [Black Minister Dynasty]."

Then he pointed to the Seventh Prince beside him.

"This is my seventh brother, his name is Yue Xiuming."

"We have both admired Your Excellency for a long time…"

After saying these opening pleasantries.

He deliberately said in a jealous tone:

"Of course, to be honest, Your Excellency being able to join the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion], which is full of beautiful women, is truly the envy of us…"

He understood that everyone has vanity.

And being complimented to one's face.

Especially being complimented to one's face by someone of noble status.

Often leads to a great degree of satisfaction of vanity.

But this behavior obviously didn't mean much to Ling Wuyuan.

He simply replied without any change in expression:

"Just lucky."

"My successful joining of the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] was actually due to fate."

This was the truth.

If it weren't for Pei Yiman.

It was estimated that he would be hiding in some godforsaken place, leveling up silently.

He probably would have waited until he reached the [Profound Intent Realm] before considering coming out of the mountains.

After all, strength is the main source of security.

As for so-called power.

Ling Wuyuan found it difficult to trust.

Like the [White Raven Gang].

Although he had stayed in it for several years.

He never trusted the [White Raven Gang].

He only regarded the other party as a temporary stop in his life.

As for the so-called admiration in their mouths?

Ling Wuyuan also didn't take it seriously.

He casually said: "As for the so-called admiration, that's completely unnecessary, Your Excellency overestimates me."

But upon hearing his reply.

Yue Xiuran waved his hand repeatedly and said:

"What are you saying!!"

"You are too modest!!"

"Before, when I personally saw Your Excellency's achievements on the [News Report]'s [National Announcement Column], I was genuinely shocked from the bottom of my heart!!"

"To be honest, Your Excellency's spirit and strength to be able to challenge all opponents at the same time, even though I am many years older, I am completely unable to possess it. In these aspects, I am truly far inferior to Your Excellency, and I deeply feel ashamed of myself…"

At this moment.

Although the main reason he said these words was to get close to Ling Wuyuan.

However, those words were indeed the truth from the bottom of his heart, and not fake.

Back then.

When Yue Xiuran learned about Ling Wuyuan's deeds.

He was indeed shocked.

His mind was filled with disbelief!

After that, when he verified the news.

A feeling of inferiority arose spontaneously…

However, what he didn't say was that, in addition to this, he also had a feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred at the time, and immediately gave birth to the idea of wanting to kill him as soon as possible!!

That was the idea that someone who considers themselves excellent instinctively has after seeing someone even more excellent, and someone who is so excellent that they can't reach at all.

Jealousy.

Is one of the instincts of intelligent beings!

And strong jealousy will lead to hatred…

Even if he was born into royalty and was a natural aristocrat.

Yue Xiuran was still unable to avoid it.

Even.

Even at this moment.

Some sporadic related thoughts are still hidden in his heart.

It's just that those thoughts haven't been revealed at all, and have long been hidden by him.

As an old fox.

Not showing emotions on his face.

Is the most basic skill.

However… his relevant skills, in front of Ling Wuyuan, really have no meaning at all.

There is no need to know the so-called inside story.

Ling Wuyuan was able to understand that although the guy in front of him was saying nice things and trying to get close.

But in his heart, he was always filled with some kind of hostility towards himself.

As someone who is born with the ability to sense whether others have goodwill or malice towards him, and that ability continues to strengthen with the continuous increase in strength.

Many times.

The truth behind things.

Is so straightforward in Ling Wuyuan's eyes.

I don't need to know what you have experienced, what you are thinking, or what you are plotting.

I only need to know whether you have goodwill or malice towards me.

In front of this ability.

The so-called lies, the so-called schemes, often have no meaning.

It's like when solving a puzzle, you can always skip the process and directly know the answer.

Therefore.

If reality were a game.

Then in Ling Wuyuan's perspective, Yue Xiuran in front of him would be a red-named monster, and he would also have a health bar hanging above his head.

However.

Even so.

Reality is not a game after all.

Reality is much more complicated than games.

So even if he knows that the other party is a hostile unit.

Ling Wuyuan is too lazy to fall out with the other party on the spot, let alone farm monsters on the spot, but chooses to chat with the other party casually, and accompany the other party in perfunctory conversation.

His heart was completely unmoved by the other party's initiative to contact him.

To put it bluntly.

Yue Xiuran does have a bit of status, being the prince of the [Black Minister Dynasty], but there are really not one or two guys who are full of malice towards Ling Wuyuan.

He doesn't care about the other party's hostility…

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan is now very nonchalant in accompanying the other party to chat nonsense, slowly wasting time to complete the task, and slowly completing the task of dealing with the supporting role NPC assigned to him by Xi Xianlan and others.

And his extremely evasive words, which were more like nothing than something.

Sounded quite seamless to Yue Xiuran and Yu Qiqing.

That was a kind of feeling of hearing but not hearing.

If Ling Wuyuan's age didn't match, the two would have directly suspected that Ling Wuyuan had been an official or done business before, that superb officialese and topic-avoiding skills could not be honed without a few years of experience!
