"Oh? How did you tell, fellow Daoist?"
Seeing the young man who had suddenly appeared, Ye Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Hahaha, cultivators who've just arrived somewhere always look around in every direction, with no particular destination."
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you exactly like that?"
Hearing this, Ye Lin smiled helplessly. Thinking it over, that really was the case.
Whenever any living being arrived somewhere unfamiliar, the first thing they naturally did was look around.
"I am Xuan Mingzi. May I ask how to address you, fellow Daoist?"
Xuan Mingzi asked Ye Lin in a low voice.
He had always enjoyed making friends. Moreover, this person possessed an extraordinary bearing, standing out from the flock like a crane among chickens. He had seen that at a glance.
"If I said my name was Ye Lin, would you believe me?"
The moment Ye Lin finished speaking, Xuan Mingzi revealed a speechless expression.
"Fellow Daoist, Ye Lin is an absolute ruthless figure—the one who single-handedly cleared the Hundred Heroes Ranking in the Second Region. You'd better not joke with me about that."
"How could I possibly run into someone that ruthless?"
Xuan Mingzi smiled helplessly.
"Fine. My real name is Ye Lin, but I'm not the one you're talking about."
After Ye Lin spoke, Xuan Mingzi finally wore an expression of sudden realization.
"So that's it—you share the same name. That's normal enough. Still, fellow Daoist, you'd best change that name, or it may cause others to misunderstand."
"Ye Lin stole the limelight back then. Now, throughout the First Region and even the Central Star Domain, countless heavenly geniuses are waiting to use him to make a name for themselves. If certain people learn your name in the future, then even if you aren't him, you still won't escape their clutches."
