Only My Way

In the end.

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

However, he at least understood one thing.

【What?】

【The young master of the South Lake Gang is dead?】

【Although I don't understand, as expected… what a good death~】

【Today is truly a festive and auspicious day~】

Based on the principle that if he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't think about it, facing the sudden good news and the dishes he was holding in his hand, he still chose to execute the previous plan, placing the delicacies in front of Ling Wuyuan and introducing them with a smile:

"Little brother, this is a specialty dish of our Taixia Town—Snowflake Waterleaf, you must try it!"

"Definitely, definitely…"

Not long after.

After a round of toasts and drinks, Zhang Tang, while enjoying the delicious food and wine, also asked Ling Wuyuan casually:

"By the way, little brother, I haven't asked your name yet, and which sect or family do you come from?"

"I wonder if you could reveal a little?"

Shopkeeper Huang and the others naturally chimed in:

"Exactly!"

"Exactly!"

"We haven't been able to know the name and origin of our savior yet!!"

"This is truly a great discourtesy!!"

Regarding this, Ling Wuyuan naturally knew what they were up to and what they were guessing, which was nothing more than thinking that he had a powerful background, so they wanted to inquire about it and build a relationship.

To be honest.

He felt that if he just made up a more impressive background, these people might immediately and unhesitatingly choose to believe it.

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

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

"As for being some kind of saint, that's far from the truth, I'm just an unknown nobody right now."

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

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

"Hey~ Little brother Ling, you're being too polite, right?"

"An unknown nobody?"

"How can that describe you?"

He even raised his glass and praised Ling Wuyuan vigorously:

"Understated!"

"Truly understated!!"

"Everyone, did you see that!??"

"This is what an excellent young man who doesn't like to show off his talent looks like!!"

"We understand, little brother, you must have some unspeakable difficulties, such as undergoing trials from your sect or family, so you can't easily reveal your true identity, we completely understand your difficulties!!"

These words caused the others to nod in agreement:

"Indeed!"

"Indeed!!"

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

"Young people~ When you come out to explore, you should rely more on yourself and less on your sect and family!!"

"This is an extremely correct decision!!"

Those echoing voices made Ling Wuyuan, who only wanted to pick up food, feel a little speechless.

However, he could accept it.

Let the misunderstanding be…

At the same time, someone guessed based on Ling Wuyuan's name:

"To be honest, little brother Ling's surname is quite rare. Does little brother come from some hidden family?"

"I don't seem to have heard of such a large family in the White Mist Kingdom…"

"As for the name—Wuyuan, little brother Ling's elders should be hoping that little brother's future life can be without regrets, right?"

Hearing this, Ling Wuyuan continued to tell the truth indifferently:

"I really am just an unknown nobody right now, and I really don't come from any great family."

"This surname is just something randomly drawn from the dictionary, it doesn't have any specific meaning."

Literally, the orphanage director randomly drew a word from the dictionary.

"As for why it's called Wuyuan, it's because the person who named me hoped that I would live a good life in the future and not blame others…"

What kind of children are most common in orphanages?

Children who blame others for their misfortunes and are extremely pessimistic and inferior because they are not doing well.

Overall, the name Ling Wuyuan doesn't actually have any special meaning, at least Ling Wuyuan himself doesn't feel it.

Of course, he has always practiced the words 【Wuyuan】 very well, and has always been relatively optimistic or calm.

Even when he was a professional beggar in Black Rock City, starving nine meals in three days, he rarely blamed others.

Because that kind of thing is meaningless…

The newest novels are all first published at 6 9 books bar!

He hates that self-pitying feeling…

After all, why are people not doing well?

Isn't it because of incompetence??

And facing one's own incompetence, there are only two options, either accept fate or work hard. What's the use of self-pity??

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan doesn't think that his misfortune has anything to do with others.

Moreover, he is too lazy to blame anyone or find any reason to comfort himself.

Relatively speaking, he also doesn't think that other people's misfortunes have anything to do with him.

In his view, empathy and sympathy are basically non-existent things.

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

The weak should suffer and can only be trampled on.

The strong should enjoy and can act recklessly.

Hearing his explanation and answer about his own name, the people present did not believe it at all, thinking that Ling Wuyuan was just talking nonsense, and some even muttered:

"How is it possible that even the surname was chosen randomly?"

"Is little brother's sect and family so strict?"

"They don't even allow the real surname to be revealed?"

Hearing this statement.

The others also had a feeling of enlightenment.

"Oh~ so that's how it is, is it possible that even the surname is fake?"

"Wow~ that's really strict…"

"However, as expected of a large sect and family, they actually act so cautiously, admirable, admirable…"

Listening to these nonsense.

Ling Wuyuan could only bitterly gnaw on the duck leg he had just torn off with a somewhat painful mood.

Faced with such a situation, he really felt angry and trembling!!

【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 use of you asking me questions?】

【Are you just asking for fun?】

【You guys are really fucking cheap… uh, this duck leg is really good…】

Although things were a bit difficult, considering that the other party was treating him to a meal, Ling Wuyuan silently decided to forgive these guys who didn't listen to people and just made up a bunch of inexplicable plots and strange settings on their own.

There's no way around it.

He who eats another's food is soft of mouth and he who takes another's gifts is short of hand.

This Town Chief Zhang took the initiative to arrange accommodation and treat him to food and wine, and even arranged for beautiful maids to specially pour tea and wine, Ling Wuyuan really couldn't say much.

Although he could also eat his fill while traveling.

But that was really just being able to eat his fill.

The wilderness is very limited in conditions, and it's completely impossible to eat well.

The feast at this moment really allowed him to eat his fill~
