Wu Yong smiled and deftly scooped up the fish beside him, handing it to the old lady who was buying the fish.

As the two were selling fish, Qingyin was unaware that a tall figure was standing in front of her.

The man, standing at 188 cm tall, blocked the sunlight like a bear. Suddenly, Qingyin, whose vision went black, blinked, looked up, and realized that he was a handsome young man.

However, Qingyin always felt that the young man's otherworldly temperament and his handsome but ordinary-looking face were somewhat mismatched.

Qingyin looked at the young man's bright eyes with a puzzled expression and asked, "Young master, are you here to buy fish?"

The young man, or rather Xie Ping, looked intently at Qingyin, who was wearing a veil, his gaze seemingly lingering for a moment on the side of the girl's neck, a patch of fair, smooth skin...

Thankfully, no scars were left from last time. Xie Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

A simple, sunny smile spread across her face: "Hello, miss, I'll take the rest of the fish."

Qingyin: "Uh, okay."

Xie Ping, having already stated his purpose, didn't leave. He looked directly at Qingyin and smiled, "Is Miss from the capital?"

“Yes.” Qingyin nodded with a smile.

"I wonder if Miss knows any fun places in the capital? My name is Chen Ping. I just came from the south and only recently arrived in the capital. I'm not very familiar with the city..." As he said this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the handsome young man's face, but it didn't look bad on his fair skin. Instead, it added a touch of cuteness.

Qingyin understood what the young man meant; he probably wanted her to recommend some fun places in the capital.

However, Qingyin rarely goes out after coming to the capital. The few times she has gone out, it was always her younger sister and Wu Yong who took her out. This time, if asked to recommend a place, she really doesn't have any.

Wu Yong noticed the girl's predicament and became even more displeased with the man in front of him who was a point taller than him.

Based on his intuition as a rival, Wu Yong instinctively felt that the man in front of him liked Qingyin, because the way he looked at Qingqing was the same as hers, and the man stood there without even looking at him, saying a lot of things to Qingqing.

This appearance is really annoying.

Wu Yong licked his teeth, staring coldly at the man in front of him who was supposedly named Chen Ping, and said with a forced smile, "Young Master Chen, since you don't know anything about the capital, why did you come all the way to Meteor River?"

Hearing Wu Yong's question, Qingyin also looked at Xie Ping with a puzzled expression.

Faced with Wu Yong's suspicion, Xie Ping remained calm and composed. He gave Qingyin a shy smile and said, "I... I came to the capital, and my place isn't far from here. I've been staying in the inn for a while, so I thought I'd come out for a walk. I didn't expect to end up here like this..."

After saying that, the young man glanced at Wu Yong cautiously and fearfully.

He convincingly portrayed himself as a pitiful, innocent young man who was terrified by Wu Yong.

Wu Yong was thoroughly disgusted by Chen Ping's hypocritical and innocent attitude.

If looks could kill, Xie Ping would have been torn to pieces by Wu Yong long ago.
