Only My Way

#498 - Zheng Saijuan and Song Jie

“Is there a problem with that young man named Ling Wuyuan and that force called 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】?”

Although Ling Wuyuan had previously appeared on the 【News Report】's 【National Announcement Board】, he could be considered to have some fame throughout the entire 【Golden Mist Continent】, and the name 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 was also something that had been specifically marked in the minds of the upper echelons of various super forces.

However, for Zheng Saijuan, who lived in 【Huayan City】, a small city on the edge of the war zone, and didn't easily have access to the 【News Report】, the former was indeed somewhat in a blind spot.

As for the latter?

That was even more of a blind spot within a blind spot!

Zheng Saijuan's position within 【Listening Shadow Tower】 was far from high, which determined that she was unlikely to know what the name 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 actually represented.

However.

Things were not the same for Zheng Saijuan's maternal grandfather.

As someone who held a very high position even within a 【National Branch】 of 【Listening Shadow Tower】, the words 【Ling Wuyuan】 and 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 had indeed possessed a significant presence recently, even across the vast distance separating them.

After all.

Keen news sense is truly an indispensable thing for them.

Therefore, regarding Ling Wuyuan and 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】, even if they couldn't claim to understand them extremely well, they still had some impression of them.

So, when he heard the words spoken by his granddaughter.

The person on the other side of the communication token was immediately stunned and even somewhat lost his composure!

“……”

“There's a problem, a big problem.”

“However, logically speaking, this problem shouldn't exist in the place where you and I are, but should exist in some extremely distant place…”

After a moment of silence.

The other party said something difficult to understand.

Then, he immediately asked Zheng Saijuan:

“You just said he wants to buy information from our 【Listening Shadow Tower】, right?”

“Tell me, what kind of information does he want to buy?”

Seeing his solemnity.

Zheng Saijuan naturally truthfully recounted the various transaction goals that Ling Wuyuan had previously proposed.

Such as the general strength information of the surrounding forces, the specific location of this place on the 【Golden Mist Continent】, and how far this place is from the 【White Mist Kingdom】 in the 【Southern Region】, whether there is any special way to quickly reach the 【White Mist Kingdom】…

Soon after.

As she recounted everything she knew, her maternal grandfather became even more hesitant.

Originally.

The other party felt that Ling Wuyuan must be fake, belonging to some kind of ulterior motive.

After all, according to the news, Ling Wuyuan's 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 has already formed a coalition with other forces, jointly dealing with some kind of sea clan invaders, and Ling Wuyuan is probably one of the front-line personnel, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for him to suddenly appear in this war-torn area located in the 【Northern Region】, this is a completely unreasonable situation…

However.

After questioning his granddaughter.

He was a little shaken.

Because the goal of the guy his granddaughter contacted can only be described as extremely clear.

He just wants to return to 【White Mist Kingdom】 with all his heart!

Besides that.

There is basically no other idea.

He found it hard to imagine why the other party would pretend to be Ling Wuyuan, wouldn't it just be to take a trip to 【White Mist Kingdom】?

Moreover.

Pretending to be Ling Wuyuan, no matter how you look at it, is a meaningless thing, this is after all the 【Northern Region】, Ling Wuyuan does not have any home advantage here…

While silently pondering the question, the other party, understanding what his granddaughter was wondering, slowly informed her of what 【Ling Wuyuan】 and 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】 actually represented, in a relatively simple way, so that she could understand the strangeness and unreasonableness of the matter to a certain extent.

— —

After the two sides ended the communication.

Zheng Saijuan became even more curious about that Ling Wuyuan, or rather, the person who might be Ling Wuyuan.

She could feel that there must be some kind of secret on the other party.

And… although things were indeed a bit unreasonable and nonsensical, and although her views were somewhat one-sided and without any actual basis, she still felt that the person she had seen before should not have lied to her, that was a feeling from instinct.

After all, even if there was no arrogant feeling, she could still perceive what kind of arrogance the person she had seen before was… that kind of person is almost impossible to lie, just like gold will not suddenly turn into scrap iron.

So, the hidden story behind the matter really made her extremely concerned…

She completely couldn't understand why Ling Wuyuan, who should have been on the distant battlefield fighting against the sea clan, would suddenly appear here.

At the same moment.

In that distant place.

Song Jie, who had just finished communicating with his granddaughter, hesitated for a moment.

Feeling that the situation on his granddaughter's side must have a reason, he directly chose to contact other people, some people who might know more information.

“Hello.”

“Old Chen, are you free now? I want to ask you something?”

“……”

A few minutes later.

Song Jie successfully obtained a relatively secret message, a message that is currently only being spread in a small range and has not yet been fully announced—the 【Southern Region】's 【Golden Mist Continent Allied Army to Punish the Ocean Alien Race】, which was jointly formed by various local forces to deal with the sea clan invaders, suffered an almost complete annihilation about thirty hours ago, the reason being that the strength of the opponent far exceeded everyone's initial imagination, even the big shots whose strength reached the 【Primal Appearance Realm】 died in the double digits, and the cultivators whose strength reached the 【Mystic Power Realm】 died on the spot in the triple digits… in the entire battle, only a very small number of participants on the human side managed to escape.

For example, 【Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion】, where Ling Wuyuan is located, is one of them.

After listening to this information.

Song Jie immediately fell into thought again.

And his old friend said with a somewhat complicated tone on the other side:

“The situation encountered in the 【Southern Region】 this time is indeed a bit more troublesome than imagined… no one thought that the group of sea clan invaders actually had more than twenty members of the 【Primal Appearance Realm】, and even had stronger beings above the 【Primal Appearance Realm】, that kind of far exceeding expectations strength directly caught everyone off guard, I heard that until now, the many local forces in the 【Southern Region】 are still arguing endlessly about the losses everyone is currently suffering…”
