In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Under the dim streetlights, Li Yuan frowned deeply.

Saying goodbye to Zhuang Meng, I never expected her to be like this.

During her university years, she was lively and cheerful.

Most people feel happy when they are with her.

But at this moment, one could clearly sense an arrogance in her words.

High above, as if looking down on Li Yuan.

He casually offered his comments and even made various arrangements for Li Yuan.

She was completely different from the Zhuang Meng I remembered.

The face is still the same face, just with more makeup.

Hearing her voice, Li Yuan unconsciously felt annoyed.

Just then, someone happened to pass by.

"Xiaomeng, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to eat?"

The person who greeted her was probably Zhuang Meng's colleague.

"This martial artist has some questions to ask. I'll talk to him and then I'll go."

Zhuang Meng skillfully forced a warm smile onto her face and replied.

The difference between her tone and her previous one was enormous.

It seems her arrogance was directed more at Li Yuan.

In front of her colleagues, she reverted to her kind and gentle demeanor.

Seeing that no one else was passing by, Zhuang Meng began to talk about what she considered important matters.

"The wedding date is set for early next year. I accept your blessings, but I don't want to see you on the wedding day."

Any misunderstanding could disrupt my peaceful life.

It's affecting my relationship with him...

Zhuang Meng shared her thoughts, and when she mentioned her current boyfriend, she became even more arrogant.

"He is very good, very outstanding."

He was the top performer in the monthly Lanwu Trial last year.

He's four years younger than you, yet he's already at the mid-sixth rank.

Zhuang Meng unconsciously wore a smile, probably thinking that she had found a very capable younger brother.

And this younger brother is quite capable.

Her female colleagues in Lanying City all looked at her with envy.

"I came to Lanying City only to participate in the Lanwu Trial."

Congratulations on finding a wonderful partner, but I'm not interested in getting to know you better.

Li Yuan frowned and explained a few more times.

But Zhuang Meng didn't seem to be listening and was still talking about her current boyfriend.

"At the end of last year, Lanying City invited the Xia family's top martial arts prodigy, who took two hours to instruct everyone."

There were over a hundred outstanding martial artists, and many of the concepts were only understandable to him.

Others need ten words of guidance from that prodigy, but he can grasp the profound meaning in at most two.

Zhuang Meng spoke with even more pride at this point.

It seems that her current boyfriend is exceptionally outstanding.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan remained calm, though his brows were still slightly furrowed.

Li Yuan had no idea who the Xia family prodigy mentioned in Zhuang Menghua was.

But I do actually know a prodigy martial artist surnamed Xia.

Xia Zhao's strength, talent, and comprehension are worthy of the title of a prodigy.

From Li Yuan's understanding, Xia Zhao usually explains things in great detail when giving advice to others.

It's always been easy to understand.

Back in Qijia Town, I had heard so much from Xia Zhao, so there was nothing I couldn't understand.

At the same time, Zhuang Meng seemed to think that Li Yuan did not understand how unusual this matter was, and spoke again.

"You don't know how difficult it is to reach the top level of martial arts until you reach that position."

If you can understand it, you can be called a martial arts genius!

Because of this incident, even some grandmaster-level experts held him in high regard and intended to take him as their disciple.

Zhuang Meng was talking about how extraordinary her current boyfriend was.

But the more Li Yuan listened, the more he felt that it was actually quite ordinary...

Li Yuan grew impatient and stopped her from continuing her rambling.

"Zhuang Meng, I know you've found a wonderful partner. Congratulations!"

But can we get down to business?

What exactly do you want to do?

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Zhuang Meng resumed her serious demeanor.

"You came here simply to see me, and now you have."

I hope you leave tomorrow; I don't want him to see you.

My relationship with him is very stable, and I don't want anything to change at this time.

I'll buy your ticket. You can just go and catch the train tomorrow morning.

Hearing this, Li Yuan almost laughed.

I earned this qualification for the Lanwu Trial through my own winnings.

In just a few words, Zhuang Meng wanted to make him waste his life.

"Zhuang Meng, this is the third time I'm telling you."

I came to Lanying City for the Lanwu Trial, not for you.

This is a trial qualification that I worked hard to obtain, and I have no interest in ruining this opportunity for training because of you.

Also, I'm a little hungry, so I'll have to excuse myself.

After saying this, Li Yuan turned and walked towards the hotel restaurant.

Watching Li Yuan's retreating figure, Zhuang Meng hesitated before asking, "Li Yuan, are you sure there's nothing wrong with obtaining this trial qualification?"

This statement carries a threat.

They seemed to think they had caught Li Yuan red-handed.

Li Yuan didn't stop walking, only coldly replying, "If you think there's a problem, then report it. Do as you please."

Under the dim streetlights, Zhuang Meng's face looked rather unpleasant.

If Tang Shuchen had never met Li Yuan, she could pretend not to know him and get away with it.

But last year, a college classmate of mine also came here to participate in the Lanwu Trial.

She not only mentioned Li Yuan to Tang Shuchen, but also showed him photos from their university days on her phone.

Therefore, Tang Shuchen had met Li Yuan.

Zhuang Meng was worried that this would affect their stable relationship.

In her eyes, it wasn't just one person who wanted to steal her boyfriend.

His excellent boyfriend is probably still being eyed by quite a few female colleagues.

Li Yuan's influence may very well bring them opportunities.

"You're a bit more annoying now than you were in college..."

Looking in the direction Li Yuan left, Zhuang Meng muttered to herself.

After a five-minute walk, Li Yuan had arrived at the largest hotel in Lanying City.

In fact, there are only four hotels currently in operation.

Stepping into the hotel, it wasn't much different from the star-rated hotels in Lingshan City.

All the necessary services are available.

However, the salary of an ordinary waiter in a place like this should be much higher.

On the first floor of the hotel, there is a wall covered with photos.

When prominent figures arrive, the hotel requests to take photos, which are then posted for publicity.

Each photo also includes the date it was taken.

Li Yuan saw Xia Zhao's photo on it; the time was at the end of last year.

As expected of her, these martial arts geniuses are already very fortunate to receive even a few words of guidance from her.

Even so, Li Yuan was still somewhat puzzled.

When Xia Zhao was giving advice, she made it very easy to understand.

It's as if nine out of ten people can't understand what Zhuang Meng is saying.

It's not surprising that Li Yuan had this question.

After all, everyone else was following Xia Zhao's advice.

Li Yuan was able to discuss things with Xia Zhao and even give her advice.

Given this difference in understanding, it's understandable that Li Yuan couldn't grasp it.
