Only My Way
#82 - Refuse to go with
A few minutes later.
The burly man, who had been chatting idly with Ling Wuyuan, casually asked:
"By the way, young brother, you said earlier that you were traveling far. Where exactly are you going?"
Faced with this question.
Ling Wuyuan had no intention of hiding anything and casually replied:
"Yunling Prefecture — Dragonpeak City."
As soon as he said this, the burly man, who traveled around all year round and knew what the various cities and place names in the surrounding area represented, was immediately stunned.
"Ah?"
"Yunling Prefecture — Dragonpeak City?"
His expression was a bit incredulous: "Isn't that the main city of Yunling Prefecture?"
"Young brother, you're going such a long way?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but scan Ling Wuyuan, the horse Ling Wuyuan was riding, and the various things Ling Wuyuan was carrying.
He felt that Ling Wuyuan's actual age should be around sixteen years old.
Although he could tell that Ling Wuyuan was at least a Body Refinement Realm cultivator.
He might even be a Bone Forging Realm cultivator.
But he still felt that the trip was a bit dangerous for the other party.
"Well… although I don't know if you're serious, young brother, as someone who has been to Dragonpeak City in my early years, I have to remind you that the mountain road is rugged and very dangerous. If we calculate based on our current speed, the journey alone will probably take nearly four months. If we encounter any unexpected problems, it would be lucky to arrive successfully in half a year. In fact, it's not uncommon to die silently on the road…"
In the end, the burly man chose to persuade him:
"Young brother, I think that although you seem to have some reliance, you still have to be very careful about things. If it's not necessary, it's really best not to run so far, or find a large caravan going the same way to hitch a ride…"
"Traveling alone, although free and unrestrained, is ultimately extremely dangerous."
"Take our caravan, for example. Among the passengers, there are some cultivators with quite good strength who still choose to hitch a ride with the caravan."
"People's strength will eventually be exhausted. It's better for everyone to team up."
Upon hearing that the other party had been to Dragonpeak City, Ling Wuyuan was also a little surprised.
Moreover, the other party's words provided him with some meaningful information.
'At the current speed, it will take about four months?'
He understood that the four months the other party mentioned must have included a lot of rest time.
Looking at the strong horse under him, which still seemed to have plenty of energy while maintaining its current speed, Ling Wuyuan roughly weighed it in his mind. He felt that if he rode faster and the journey went smoothly, he might only need a little over two months to reach the place.
He was quite satisfied with this speed.
As for the burly man's persuasion, Ling Wuyuan didn't care much and just shook his head in response:
"No need to persuade me. I'm confident."
"This trip is very necessary for me."
Faced with his reply.
The burly man could only sigh helplessly after hearing that he couldn't be persuaded.
"Alright then."
"However, the route you're taking is somewhat along the way with our caravan."
"Our caravan's destination is near the border between Snowdeer Prefecture and Yunling Prefecture."
"If you're willing, according to the rules of the caravan, you can actually travel with us."
"Anyway, it can be considered as increasing a bit of safety."
The burly man wasn't saying anything false. In this dangerous world, everyone usually felt safer with more people. Therefore, even when facing outsiders, as long as everyone felt that the other party's character was acceptable, they could still travel together.
Looking at Ling Wuyuan's attire and the horse he was riding, the burly man didn't think it was possible for the other party to be a bandit spy or a rapist.
Compared to Ling Wuyuan.
Some of the passengers in the caravan who had paid for their ride, on the other hand, looked more like bad people due to their timid appearance…
The situation was slightly frustrating.
However, faced with the burly man's invitation to travel together, Ling Wuyuan quickly declined: "No need. Because I have something to do, my travel speed should be a bit faster than yours."
The reason for rejecting the other party, besides the fact that he, traveling alone on horseback, was much faster than a caravan dragging a large number of carriages, was mainly because it was inconvenient.
Ling Wuyuan still needed to refine medicine and cultivate after setting up camp at night.
And in order to avoid suspicion.
He really wasn't suitable for teaming up with others.

Seeing him refuse.
The burly man was a little regretful, but he didn't mention it again.
Everyone was not related.
He could persuade if he could, but if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.
—
About half an hour later.
Ling Wuyuan had already left the caravan behind and was steadily advancing ahead on his own.
Several kilometers behind him, the burly man who had had a lot of communication with Ling Wuyuan was being asked about things.
It was an old man who looked a bit old on the outside, but was quite energetic.
"Li Guang, who was that young man who chatted with you for a long time just now?"
"Steward Zhang, everyone was just a fellow traveler we met on the road. I don't know the other party's specific surname or name. I was just extremely bored and saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, so I took the initiative to go up and chat with him for a while."
"Earlier, I also wanted to invite others to travel with us, but the other party had something to do, so he thought the caravan was a bit slow and didn't agree…"
Yes, after chatting for dozens of minutes, the burly man and Ling Wuyuan didn't even ask each other's names.
It was just a purely simple chat.
The situation was very much in line with the men's principle of chatting with strangers for a few hours without even knowing their names.
After listening to Li Guang's answer.
The old man first nodded slowly, and then said with a bit of regret: "Is that so…"
"I observed that the horse that young man was riding was definitely a first-class steed. And the long sword he wore on his waist, although I didn't see the blade and couldn't judge the exact quality, judging from the decorations and patterns on the hilt and scabbard, it must definitely be a first-class masterpiece. Even the longbow placed beside the horse and the quiver of arrows are all not ordinary items…"
"Moreover, not only the things and the horse, but the young man himself also has a very extraordinary bearing. Even I, an old man on the verge of death, can feel the sharpness between his eyebrows… I think the other party has a somewhat special identity, probably the core new generation of some large force, a real big shot."
"Although I don't know why the other party is traveling alone, it's quite lucky that you were able to communicate with him."
"It's just a pity that the other party couldn't agree to your request to travel together. Otherwise, it would have been good to build a relationship with him."
There was a very obvious sense of regret in the old man's words.
Li Guang, who simply felt that Ling Wuyuan should be quite extraordinary, could only scratch his head helplessly.
He didn't think so much…
At this time, the biggest thought in his mind was only—[Hmm~ My vision is really good~].
