My Way

Chapter 97 Names and Meanings

finally.

After repeated and hard thinking, Zhang Tang still couldn't figure out what was going on and what kind of philosophical ideas it contained.

However, he did understand one thing.

【What? 】

[The young leader of the Nanhu Gang died? ]

[I don’t understand, but it’s true… I’m really dying~]

[Today is such a happy and auspicious day~]

Following the principle of not thinking about something if you don't understand it, facing the sudden good news and the dishes in his hands, he still chose to carry out the previous plan, placed the dishes in front of Ling Wuyuan and introduced them with a smile:
"Little brother, this is our specialty dish in Taixia Town - Snow Leaf in Water. You must try it!"

“I must, I must…”

It didn't take long.

After a round of toasts, while enjoying the wine and food, Zhang Tang pretended to ask Ling Wuyuan casually:
"By the way, little brother, I haven't asked you your name or surname, or which sect or family you are from?"

"Could you please reveal a little bit?"

Shopkeeper Huang and the others naturally followed suit and said:
"Antipolar!"

"Antipolar!"

"We still don't know the name of our savior or where he came from!!"

"This is really rude!!"

Ling Wuyuan naturally knew what they were planning and what guesses they held. It was nothing more than that they thought that he had a powerful background, so they wanted to find out more and build some connections.

to be frank.

He felt that if he made up a more impressive story, this group of people would probably choose to believe it without hesitation on the spot.

However, Ling Wuyuan was too lazy to tease them and told the truth directly.

"My surname is Ling, and my given name is Wuyuan."

"As for who I am, I am far from being a saint. Right now, I am just a nobody."

"I haven't made any name for myself yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Huang waved his hands and said:

"Hey, Brother Ling, isn't this too formal?"

"Nobody?"

"How can this description describe you?"

Even while holding the wine, he praised Ling Wuyuan vigorously:

"Low key!"

“So low-key!!”

"Did you see that?!"

"This is what an outstanding young man who doesn't like to be arrogant because of his talent!!"

"We understand that you must have some unspeakable secrets, for example, you are currently undergoing a sect or family trial, so you cannot easily reveal your true identity. We can completely understand your difficulties!!"

This statement caused the others to nod their heads in response:
"Yes!"

“Yes!!”

"No need to say more, we can all understand the intentions and painstaking efforts of your sect elders!!"

"Young people, when you go out to explore the world, you should rely more on yourself and less on the sect and family!!"

“This is the right decision for them!!”

Those voices of agreement made Ling Wuyuan, who just wanted to pick up some food, speechless.

However, he could still accept it.

It's just a misunderstanding...

At the same time, some people speculated about Ling Wuyuan's name:

"To be honest, your surname is quite rare. Are you from a hidden family?"

"I don't think I've heard of such a big family in Baiwu Country..." "As for the name - Wuyuan, your elders should be hoping that you will have no regrets in your life in the future, right?"

Hearing this, Ling Wuyuan continued to speak the truth indifferently:
"I am really a nobody now, and I don't really come from any big family."

"This surname is just something I randomly pulled out of the dictionary. It has no specific meaning."

Literally, the orphanage director picked the word randomly from the dictionary.

"As for why I'm named Wuyuan, it's because the person who gave me this name hoped that I would live a good life in the future and not complain about the world..."

What kind of children are most common in orphanages?
A child who blames others for his poor life and has an extremely pessimistic and low self-esteem.

Overall, the name Ling Wuyuan actually has no special meaning, at least Ling Wuyuan himself doesn't feel it.

Of course, he has always practiced the word "no complaints" very well and has always been relatively optimistic or calm.

Even when he was a professional beggar in Black Rock City and went hungry for nine meals out of three days, he rarely complained about his fate.

Because that kind of thing is meaningless...

He hated the feeling of self-pity...

After all, why don’t people live well?
Isn’t it due to incompetence?

When faced with one's own incompetence, there are only two options: either accept the fate or work hard. What's the point of complaining about yourself? ?
Therefore, Ling Wuyuan does not think that his bad life has nothing to do with other people.

I am too lazy to blame anyone or find any reasons to comfort myself.

Conversely, he also doesn't think that other people's poor lives have anything to do with him.

For him, empathy and compassion are basically non-existent.

He usually only believes in the most basic law of the food chain - the survival of the fittest.

If you are weak, you deserve to suffer and be stepped on by others.

If you are powerful, you should enjoy yourself and do whatever you want.

After hearing his explanation and answer about his own name, everyone present did not believe it at all. They thought Ling Wuyuan was just talking nonsense. Some people even muttered:

"How is it possible that even the last name was chosen at random?"

"Is your sect and family so strict?"

"You're not even allowed to reveal your real last name?"

Hearing this kind of talk.

The others also felt as if they had suddenly been enlightened.

"Oh~ I see, even the last name could be fake?"

"Wow, they are really strict..."

"However, as expected of a large sect and family, they act so rigorously. I admire them..."

Listen to this bullshit.

Ling Wuyuan could only take a bite of the duck leg he had just torn off with a somewhat painful mood.

Faced with such a situation, he was really terrified!!
[After all this time, you guys don't even want to believe a single word of what I just said, right? ]

【Then what's the point of you asking me questions? 】

[Are you really asking just for fun? ]

[You guys are such fucking cheapskates... Uh, this duck leg is really good...]

Although the situation was a bit difficult, considering that the other party treated him to a meal, Ling Wuyuan silently decided to forgive these guys who didn't listen to others and made up a lot of inexplicable plots and strange settings in their minds.

no way.

This is what it means when you are favored by someone and receive favors from someone.

Mayor Zhang took the initiative to arrange accommodation for the guests and treated them to dinner and drinks. He even arranged for beautiful maids to serve tea and wine, which made Wu Yuan speechless.

Although he was on the road, he could still eat his fill.

But that's really just enough to fill your stomach.

It's a remote place with limited conditions, so there's no way of eating well.

The feast at this moment really made him feel refreshed~
