My Way

Chapter 82 Refuse to Go Together
A few minutes later.

The sturdy man, who had been chatting with Ling Wuyuan for a while, asked casually:

"By the way, little brother, you said before that you were going on a long journey, so where are you going?"

Face this problem.

Ling Wuyuan had no intention of hiding anything, and answered casually:

"[Yunling Province - Longfeng City]."

As soon as these words came out, the strong man, who had traveled around for many years and knew what the names of various cities and places in the surrounding area represented, was immediately stunned.

"what?"

"[Yunling Province - Longfeng City]?"

He looked a little incredulous: "Isn't that the main city of [Yunling Province]?"

"Brother, are you going to travel so far this time?"

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance up and down at Ling Wuyuan, the horse Ling Wuyuan was riding, and the various things Ling Wuyuan was carrying.

It feels like Ling Wuyuan’s actual age should be around sixteen years old.

Although it can be judged that Ling Wuyuan is at least a cultivator at the [Body Refining Realm].

It is even possible that he is a practitioner in the [Bone Tempering Realm].

But he still felt that the other party's trip was a bit dangerous.

"Well... I don't know if you are serious, but as someone who has been to [Longfeng City] in the past, I have to remind you that the mountain road here is rugged and very dangerous. If we calculate at our current speed, it will probably take nearly four months to travel. If we encounter any unexpected problems, it would be considered good luck to successfully arrive at the destination in half a year. It is not uncommon to die quietly on the road if you are not careful..."

Finally, the strong man chose to persuade:
"Young man, I think that even though you seem to have someone to rely on, you still have to be cautious. If it's not necessary, it's really best not to run so far, or find a large caravan going the same way and hitch a ride or something..."

“Traveling alone is free and easy, but it is extremely dangerous.”

"Take our convoy for example. Among the passengers there are some cultivators who are quite powerful but still choose to take a ride with the convoy."

"When people are poor and powerless, it is better for everyone to form a team."

When he heard that the other party had been to [Longfeng City], Ling Wuyuan was a little surprised.

Moreover, what the other party said also provided him with some meaningful information.

'At the current rate, 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 his crotch that still seemed to have plenty of strength to spare while maintaining its current speed, Wu Yuan made a rough assessment in his mind. He felt that if he rode faster and the journey was smooth, he would probably only need a little more than two months to reach his destination.

He was quite satisfied with this speed.

As for the strong man's persuasion, Ling Wuyuan didn't care much and just shook his head and responded:

"No need to persuade, I am sure."

“This trip is very necessary for me.”

Faced with his reply.

After the sturdy man realized that it was impossible to persuade the man, he could only sigh helplessly.

"OK then."

"However, the route you are going to take is somewhat along the way of our convoy."

"Our convoy's target is near the border between [Xuelu Province] and [Yunling Province]."

"If you want, according to the rules of the caravan, you can actually travel with us."

"Anyway, it increases a little safety." The strong man was not lying. In this dangerous world, the more people there are, the safer they are. So even when facing outsiders, as long as everyone thinks that the other person has good character, they can still travel together.

And looking at Ling Wuyuan's attire and the horse he rode, the strong man didn't think at all that he could be a horse bandit, spy, rapist or robber.

Compared to Ling Wuyuan.

Some of the passengers in the caravan who paid for the ride looked more like bad guys because of their timid appearance...

The matter is a bit too embarrassing to complain about.

However, facing the strong man's invitation, Ling Wuyuan quickly declined, "No, I have something to do, so I should be able to travel faster than you."

The reason for rejecting the other party.

In addition to the fact that the two sides traveled at different speeds and he, traveling alone on horseback, was much faster than a team dragging a large number of carriages, the most important reason was that it was just not very convenient.

After setting up camp at night, Ling Wuyuan still needs to refine medicine and practice.

In order to conceal their tracks.

He really isn't suitable for teaming up with others.

See he refused.

Although it was a bit regrettable about the strong man, he never mentioned it again.

We are not related at all.

If you can persuade them, do so. If you really can’t, then there is nothing you can do.
-
About half an hour later.

Ling Wuyuan had already left the convoy behind and was moving forward steadily in the front.

A few kilometers behind him, the sturdy man who had had a lot of exchanges with Ling Wuyuan before was being questioned.

He was an old man who looked a little old, but was in good spirits.

"Li Guang, who was that young man you were chatting with for a long time just now?"

"Manager Zhang, we are just fellow travelers who met on the road. I don't know his name. I was just bored and saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor, so I took the initiative to approach him and chat with him for a while."

"Before, I wanted to invite someone to go with us, but he had something else to do, so he thought the convoy was a bit slow and didn't agree..."

Yes, after chatting for dozens of minutes, the strong man and Ling Wuyuan didn't even ask each other what their names were.

It was just pure casual chatting.

This is very much in line with the way men brag for hours to strangers, A, B, C, and D, without even knowing their names.

After listening to Li Guang’s answer.

The old man nodded slowly at first, and then said with a little regret: "Is that so..."

"I saw that the horse that young man was riding was definitely a top-notch steed. And the long sword he wore at his waist, although I couldn't see the blade and it was difficult to judge its exact quality, but judging from the decorations and patterns on the hilt and scabbard, it must be a top-notch product. Even the longbow and the pot of arrows placed beside the horse were not ordinary items..."

"Besides, it's not just the things and the horses. The young man himself has an extraordinary demeanor. Even an old man like me can feel the sharpness between his eyebrows... I think the other party has a special identity. He is probably the core of a new generation of a major force and a serious big shot."

"Although I don't know why he is traveling alone, you are lucky to be able to communicate with him."

"It's a pity that the other party was unable to agree to your request to work together, otherwise, it would be a good thing for everyone to build relationships."

There was an obvious sense of regret in the old man's words.

In this regard, Li Guang, who simply felt that Ling Wuyuan must be quite extraordinary, could only scratch his head helplessly.

He didn't think so much...

At this moment, the biggest thought in his mind was - [Well~ I have a really good vision~].
