Only My Way

【 Detour 】?

【 Wait 】?

【 Join 】?

After successfully determining that the unexpected event he was currently facing would not be resolved in a mere three to five days.

Three completely opposite options automatically appeared in Ling Wuyuan's mind.

【 Detour 】 is more conservative, but has the highest safety.

【 Wait 】 and 【 Join 】.

These two present a decreasing level of safety.

The higher the participation, the greater the danger.

But it must be said.

The benefits revealed within.

Seem to be quite good.

Even with considerable wealth.

Ling Wuyuan could feel some temptation.

Therefore, after a brief consideration.

Ling Wuyuan finally made a choice.

If it really doesn't work out... …

I should probably just run away!!

Yes.

Even if the temptation is not small.

He still thinks it's better to leave first.

It's not that the value of the items is low.

In fact.

If he were truly a lone traveler with few resources.

Then he would definitely fight for it first.

Take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

As long as the benefits are high enough, taking chestnuts from the fire is not a problem at all.

But Ling Wuyuan himself has the confidence and resources to successfully advance to the [True Form Realm].

And now he is in a weak and isolated state.

Not only is it difficult to successfully obtain the items.

Even if he could really obtain something important.

It would be difficult for him to take it away... …

Thus.

When many factors are added together.

Ling Wuyuan naturally made a relatively clear judgment—[Although I can try, overall, the matter is not worth the risk].

Thinking of this.

Ling Wuyuan immediately made a decision.

After finishing his meal.

He should leave as soon as possible.

Compared to the risks ahead.

Detouring on his journey home is just detouring... …

Hmm~

To be fair.

The dishes in this restaurant are quite good in terms of taste.

For a time.

His speed of burying his head in eating also increased a bit.

That was an attitude of not hearing anything outside the window.

Focusing solely on the food in front of him.

Without any intention of actively participating in the topic being discussed by the crowd.

However.

Although he had no intention of meddling.

Looking at Ling Wuyuan, who had been silently eating from beginning to end, without saying a word.

Some people were quite unhappy.

Especially when thinking about Ling Wuyuan's somewhat hesitant steps before entering the restaurant.

As if he was wary of the actions of the people in the restaurant.

Some people who felt that they had the upper hand and that the other party was just an incompetent person with no courage.

Finally couldn't hold back... …

— —

When the restaurant waiter passed through the narrow corridor.

Carrying two dishes that were emitting a rich aroma and walked towards Ling Wuyuan.

At a distance of only twenty or thirty meters from Ling Wuyuan.

An arm extending from a certain private room.

Directly stopped the waiter who was holding the serving tray.

Causing the restaurant waiter to immediately look at the owner of the arm with incomprehension.

“Esteemed guest, what is this... … ”

However, just as he was halfway through his sentence.

The restaurant waiter, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of customers, successfully realized that he might have been involved in some kind of trouble.

There was no way around it.

As everyone knows, in restaurants, other things are not that common.

But guys who want to throw a tantrum while drunk and find ways to make trouble on purpose.

That is definitely countless!

So many that the waiters are quite accustomed to it... …

At this moment.

Thinking of that extremely ominous possibility.

While his body trembled slightly.

The restaurant waiter couldn't help but put on a rather forced smile, changed his tone, and said very respectfully to the owner of the arm:

“Esteemed guest, are you asking about the dishes you ordered?”

“Please wait a moment, the kitchen is doing its best to cook.”

“The dishes you ordered will be served soon.”

Hearing this.

The owner of the arm.

A man who appeared to be about twenty-five years old, first slowly walked out of the private room he was in, then silently glanced at the table number on the tray held by the restaurant waiter, and then said very confidently:

“So what?”

“There are six people in our private room!”

“Why do we have so many people, but the dishes being served now are not as many as for one person?”

“We want these two dishes!!”

Hearing these words.

The restaurant waiter immediately understood.

He guessed right!

He really got involved in some bad things!!

At this moment.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

He suddenly felt as if his heart had died.

That was the feeling of being an ant but being involved in a battle between behemoths.

Even if those behemoths didn't take him to heart.

Completely had no intention of making him a target.

He was still very likely to be crushed to death on the spot by the aftermath of this struggle.

Therefore, he could only pretend to be calm and said:

“Esteemed guest, this, this, this is not good... … ”

He understood that once the other party really wanted to forcefully take these dishes, he would definitely not be able to stop them.

But no matter what.

He definitely had to say a few words of refusal.

If he dared to offer the things in his hands so readily... …

Although he might not necessarily please the person in front of him.

He would inevitably incur the dissatisfaction of the owner of these dishes!

For the sake of his own life.

He must take care of his professional ethics as a restaurant waiter!

But facing the restaurant waiter's response.

That person just said indifferently:

“What do you mean not good?”

“Is letting us have two dishes a big deal?”

“Besides, even the other person hasn't said anything, what are you afraid of here?”

The meaning revealed in the words was very obvious.

That was that Ling Wuyuan had already chosen to back down.

You just need to obediently bring the dishes to us.

Speaking of the latter.

The man also slightly puffed out his chest.

That was a rather proud attitude.

And in the private room where he was.

Among the other five cultivators, both men and women.

Although two of them looked somewhat embarrassed.

Three of them had smug expressions and were watching the excitement.

At the same time.

Facing the commotion here.

Throughout the restaurant.

Those who were originally discussing the ancient ruins.

Also stopped discussing one after another.

Instead, they turned their eyes over.

Among them.

The vast majority of eyes.

Were looking at Ling Wuyuan, who was holding chopsticks and picking up vegetables.

Everyone wanted to see what Ling Wuyuan would do in the face of this provocation.

Moreover, everyone understood why that person would take the initiative to provoke Ling Wuyuan.

It was nothing more than wanting to take the opportunity to boost his own prestige.

In this world.

Reputation is a very important thing.

And the current situation.

Can be regarded as a good time to boost one's own prestige.

After all.

Since so many strong people have gathered here.

Then, presumably, everyone does not dare to act rashly.

Because it is easy for others to see their true strength.

So at most, they are just engaging in a war of words.

And being able to provoke a strong person in this kind of occasion and then retreat unscathed is indeed something worth bragging about.

Especially when most of the strong people present are a little dissatisfied with the target... …

For Ling Wuyuan, who looked like he came from a big force.

Among the many people present.

Many people who did not come from such good backgrounds were extremely unconvinced... …

The next moment.

Just as everyone was curious about how Ling Wuyuan would respond to the other party.

And whether the restaurant waiter would obediently hand over the dishes in his hand.

Everyone only saw Ling Wuyuan slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, then took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped his mouth.

After doing this.

He said with an unchanging expression:

“Weakness is not a way to seek death.”

“But being both weak and lacking self-awareness is truly deserving of death.”
