Now that Yang Nuo suddenly mentioned Nian Liuyun, Wang Yu suddenly recalled the first time he met Ling Longmeng where Nian Liuyun seemed to be at the scene .
Even though Fearless brought Ling Longmeng away back then, Ling Longmeng’s reaction towards Nian Liuyun seemed a little odd back then .
After all, Nian Liuyun was still a renowned expert in this game . Under Hidden Lurker’s work, Nian Liuyun managed to garner many fans and in addition to his good looks, he was truly a formidable and popular idol in this game . Given Ling Longmeng’s usual flirtatious behavior, she did not demonstrate the enthusiasm any ordinary woman would demonstrate upon seeing Nian Liuyun . Moreover, Ling Longmeng had never teased Nian Liuyun in the next few meetups as well .
In the past, nobody noticed it but thinking back, there was definitely something going on between the two of them .
At the thought of this, Wang Yu walked to Ling Longmeng to ask, “Where’s your brother?”
“I am the only daughter of my family . I do not have a younger brother,” Ling Longmeng replied .
“You have! I am the illegitimate child of your father!” Ming Du replied shamelessly .
Wang Yu grabbed and pulled Ming Du to the corner by his collar as he asked, “There is only one big family in Jiangbei with the surname Li . Don’t tell me you don’t know Nian Liuyun…”
“Nian Liuyun? Sister Meng, he is your younger brother?” When everyone heard Wang Yu’s words, they couldn’t help but ask .
Everyone had a significantly deep impression of Nian Liuyun . After all, Nian Liuyun was the only hero who dared to challenge Wang Yu one on one . While the outcome was quite pitiful, everyone still recognised his strength .
This was especially after Nian Liuyun’s squad’s performance in the championship where an expert like him was etched in their hearts .

“Oh…” Ling Longmeng was slightly taken aback as she explained, “Him… He is the child of my second uncle and because he is the only son of Old Li’s family, why would he come close to my family? Therefore, I am not very close to him . ”
“Oh…” Everyone felt awkward after Ling Longmeng’s explanation .
Each one of them here was a person with extensive experience . Without Ling Longmeng’s further explanation, everyone basically understood what was going on .
The concept of carrying on one’s ancestral line was more evident in older and more traditional families . Naturally, there would be more emphasis on esteeming men above women .
When there was only one male descendant across the entire family, it was natural that Nian Liuyun’s family would be treated better . Meanwhile, Ling Longmeng’s family would be pushed back the order .
During war times, families always passed down the family properties to the eldest son to prevent others from inciting affairs . However, this was different in times of peace as a family’s development was regarded as the most important . Therefore, everything would be passed down to whoever had the greatest potential to succeed .
Even back at the Wang Clan, Wang Yu’s father was the third son but was still the leader of the clan in the end . Wang Yu’s two other uncles had plenty of opinions about this too .
Everyone knew that these were the gratitudes and grudges of rich and powerful families .
“I see… I see…” Wang Yu muttered to himself as he nodded .
Ming Du continued to irritate, “My surname is also Li…”
“Scram!” Everyone shouted together .
Everyone came for a good time and since Ling Longmeng appeared slightly affected by this, everyone didn’t talk about this anymore .

After finishing their meals, Ling Longmeng brought Wang Yu and co . out to admire the legendary pear blossom .
Jiang Bei’s pear blossom was exceedingly reputable and it was one of the top tourist attraction recommended in the country . It was a truly magnificent sight like the snowy period in March during the blooming period after Qing Ming .
Yang Nuo was from the South so she had never seen snow since young . Therefore, she was looking forward to snow and it was no wonder she fell in love with the pear blossom .
However, the bunch of nerdy grandpas from the Quan Zhen Sect wouldn’t appreciate it as much as her .
If it wasn’t to accompany the ladies, this bunch of fellas would rather play some computer games at an internet cafe instead of coming here .
Fortunately, there were plenty of things to play with at the pear garden . Everyone looked around and it wasn’t exactly extremely boring .
While everyone was admiring the scenery at their own pace, they suddenly noticed a crowd of people gathering ahead of them .
Humans, especially women, are creatures who loved getting in on the action .
Seeing so many people gathering together, Mu Zi Xian was the first to ask, “Eh? What’s going on in front?”
As Mu Zi Xian said that, she hurried forward .
Once Mu Zi Xian squeezed forward, Wang Yu naturally had to follow her… In an unfamiliar place with that many people around, everyone naturally had to follow behind the strongest of them all .
Therefore, they followed closely behind Wang Yu .

A group of over ten people hurrying looked pretty frightening . When everyone saw the Quan Zhen Sect walking towards them, they made way and a path opened up for them .
After making their way through the crowd, all they saw was a tall and sturdy fatty seated in the middle .
The fatty was seated on a green stone with a lazy expression on his face . There was a discoloured bedsheet spread under his legs as the bedsheet was pressed down on all four corners by books . Two big words were written on the bedsheet that read “Fortune Telling” .
“Tsk, it’s fortune-telling…”
Everyone revealed expressions of disappointment when they found out that a swindler was seated in the middle .
Mary, who was the closest to the fatty, complained, “Tsk… To think we spent so much effort squeezing in . ”
“Miss, you did not waste your energy for nothing!” At this moment, the fatty asked, “Your surname is Ma, right?”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this .
From the very beginning, everyone had been addressing each other using their gaming IDs . Mary’s surname was something only Wang Yu and a few others knew and even the rest of Quan Zhen Sect didn’t know about it . Even so, this fatty could tell without much effort which was surprising to everyone .
“How do you know?” Mary asked .
“Like I said, you didn’t waste your energy . ” The fatty smiled sweetly .
Mary was still in shock as she nodded her head, “How much are you charging?”
“One thousand dollars!” The fatty maintained his smile .
“One thousand?” Ling Longmeng was astonished, “You are the one… who charges one thousand dollars?”
“Who?” Everyone asked Ling Longmeng .
Ling Longmeng replied, “This person never mentioned his name to anyone before and had been addressed as the one… whose predictions are extremely accurate . He used to put up his stand at Heavenly Lake Park . ”
“Then why don’t you tell my fortune for me?” Mary took out her wallet and a thousand dollars .
Who knew that the fatty shook his hand and said, “I’m not telling you anything… You don’t even have any fortune so what am I supposed to predict?”
“Tsk…” Mary was instantly turned down by the fatty .
At this moment, Ling Longmeng said, “Why don’t you help me instead? I offer ten thousand dollars . ”
This was the evil doings of money as though people wouldn’t know that she had money . It was as though one thousand dollars wasn’t expensive enough as she continued spoiling the market .
Just after Ling Longmeng said that, an extremely familiar voice to Wang Yu sounded from the other side, “Tsk, tsk! What’s there to predict for you? Even if you spend one million dollars, he will tell you that you are and will be useless in the future . ”
Everyone looked over as they saw a lady leading another group of people squeezing to the front of the crowd . This lady looked slightly similar to Ling Longmeng .
Seeing how that lady looked, Wang Yu commented, “It’s you?”
