Only My Way

After Ling Wuyuan and the others successively withdrew from the stage.

Pei Zhizong, with a normal expression, asked the old man who was still packing things up:

"How are the children this time?"

The old man immediately whispered to him truthfully:

"Patriarch, the children this time are quite good. Several of them have shown significant changes, and they should all be good seeds..."

Noticing that Ling Wuyuan was among the people the old man reported, Pei Zhizong felt very satisfied.

Ling Wuyuan's displayed temperament and maturity, coupled with his clean background as a beggar, made him a good candidate for cultivation.

If he also possesses a very good talent for cultivation...

Then it could create an effect greater than 1+1 \u003e 2.

Even serving as one of the mainstays within the family in the future wouldn't be impossible.

Therefore, he thought that if he were to test him a few more times, there wouldn't be any problems.

Then, giving him to the next family head as an assistant and confidant would be a good position.

In a very short period of time.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Pei Zhizong's mind.

And he made some rough arrangements for Ling Wuyuan's future.

However, he didn't show any of this, nor did he say that it was his choice for a future helper for the younger generation. He simply instructed the staff beside him with a normal expression:

"You heard the names of those children that were just listed, right?"

"Since they have good talent, then go to the backstage and ask them if they are willing to join the Pei family."

"Give them three days to think about it..."

The other party immediately accepted the order.

"Yes."

Completely unaware that there was anything wrong with the matter.

Throughout the entire process, Pei Zhizong never considered the possibility that Ling Wuyuan might refuse.

Because he could clearly see the unwillingness in the other party's heart.

And for a beggar who is unwilling to sink into depravity, even the smallest opportunity is still an opportunity...

Therefore, Pei Zhizong understood that Ling Wuyuan, as a helpless beggar who even had difficulty surviving, would definitely join the Pei family.

Next, he planned to let Ling Wuyuan adapt to the family for a period of time, and after adapting to the various rules within the family, he would transfer him to the family's younger generation.

After all, even the best jade needs to be polished.

The steward who specializes in training new servants within the family could just roughly polish him.

A few minutes later.

Backstage area.

"This is the token we, the Pei family, use to recruit servants. As individuals with good aptitude, if you are willing to join our Pei family, you can come to register within three days. At that time, not only will you yourselves receive better training and have the opportunity to cultivate profound martial arts, but your families will also receive some care from the Pei family, such as your family members being able to find work in the Pei family's industries..."

The speaker was a middle-aged man dressed in black, who looked quite capable.

After introducing himself and stating his purpose, he also said to Ling Wuyuan, whom he was paying more attention to:

"Little guy, the days of wandering alone are not easy. Since there is such a good opportunity right now, it would be better for you to take this opportunity to join our Pei family..."

The reason why he said this to Ling Wuyuan was not at Pei Zhizong's instruction, but merely his own idea.

As someone who was once lonely and helpless himself.

He knew very well how difficult it was for a little beggar like Ling Wuyuan to survive.

At this moment.

Looking at Ling Wuyuan's ragged clothes and dirty, pitiful appearance.

The words he said above were also a heartfelt expression.

After speaking.

Without waiting for Ling Wuyuan to answer.

Feeling that saying a few extra words was already benevolent, he immediately said to everyone:

"You will now register your names and basic information such as your family environment with me, to prevent someone from taking the token and pretending to join our Pei family in the future..."

Looking at this scene.

After thinking about it.

Ling Wuyuan could only let out a slight breath and decisively stepped forward to register his information.

[Name: Ling Wuyuan].

[Gender: Male].

[Age: Ten years old].

[Family situation: No family, no relatives or friends, has not received education, currently working as a professional beggar, good at catching rats and birds to fill his stomach, occasionally eats insects and weeds].

Among them, the age column was filled in randomly.

Ling Wuyuan himself didn't know how old he should be.

Overall, the information was very simple, but full of tragedy.

At least Ling Wuyuan himself felt very tragic.

Although he never said it out loud.

Because no one would listen even if he did.

But he was indeed suffering in his heart...

— —

Several hours later.

The sky was getting late, and there were only a few sunset glows on the horizon.

The newest novel is first published on Six/Nine/Book/Bar!

Inside Black Stone City, in a dilapidated temple with walls that leaked wind on all sides.

Although he didn't know what time it was now.

But Ling Wuyuan calculated that the current time should be close to 8 pm.

At this moment.

He had just started a fire in the dilapidated temple.

Weak heat accompanied by dim firelight was continuously released from the bonfire in front of him.

Beside him.

In addition to some dry firewood and branches he had picked up, there was also a ball of things wrapped in oil paper.

Faintly.

A hint of meat fragrance could be smelled from it.

It was a roast duck.

A roast duck that he bought with most of his savings.

Ling Wuyuan mainly bought this thing to celebrate that his hard days were finally coming to an end...

How should I put it?

Although the process was extremely simplified, he still wanted to celebrate?

Things could perhaps be understood in this way.

The only small problem was that during the process of buying the roast duck, the shopkeeper saw that he was a little beggar, and after picking and choosing for a long time, he deliberately chose the smallest and thinnest roast duck for him. In fact, if others hadn't seen Ling Wuyuan giving the money, Ling Wuyuan felt that the other party would probably confiscate his money and then falsely accuse him of not giving the money or something.

At that time.

Not only would Ling Wuyuan not get the roast duck, but he would probably also get an extra beating.

However.

All of that was actually within his expectations.

After all, since his previous life, the world has basically always been so cruel to him.

That's why he paid special attention to the time when buying the roast duck, and deliberately chose to go when there were the most customers, so as to avoid the greatest risk.

However.

Although that's what he said.

Recalling those situations, a lot of angry emotions couldn't help but flow out of Ling Wuyuan's eyes.

Eventually.

After being angry for a while.

He chose to give up his impotent rage.

Letting his gaze follow the light-leaking, wind-leaking, and rain-leaking temple roof to the outside sky, and then silently took two deep breaths to adjust his mood.

Ling Wuyuan understood that the current himself, facing these losses, had no way to deal with them except to endure them.

'But... it's coming soon... the power and confidence that belongs to me...'

Thinking of this.

He clenched his fist hard.
