The smile on the old man's face faded a little. He looked at Huai Jin's handsome face, and his calm and old voice was mysterious.

"It's hard for me to say for sure about this question. It depends on your own luck."

The patience in Huai Jin's eyes ran out, and he said coldly.

"What is your purpose?"

The old man smiled and said, "I have no purpose. I just like to see the lives of different people."

Huai Jin stared at his face, the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. Suddenly, he remembered something and his eyes narrowed.

"Five years ago, Cang Lingcheng of Qinglong Country was you!"

At that time, everyone went to the tavern to rest and heard a storyteller talking about Sheng Wu. It was at that time that everyone truly began to change their perception of Sheng Wu and their persistence in certain good thoughts.

Hearing this, the old man did not deny it and just said with a smile.

"The young man has a good memory, just like me."

Huai Jin narrowed his black pupils and said in a colder tone, "What do you want to say?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a threat to you."

The storyteller known as Lao Zhang in Cangling City shook his head and said, "It's just that I don't want to see such tragic events happen, so I want to see if I can change something."

Hearing this, Huai Jin narrowed his black pupils, revealing a hint of sneer, and there was no ripple in the depths of his cold and gloomy pupils.

"Then what do you think you can change about me?" These so-called noble and upright people are really funny. They think they can save a person who has fallen into darkness just by talking.

"You were once abandoned, and now so many masters care about you. Do you really think that destroying everything is the best thing to do?"

Huai Jin's face darkened slightly. "Old man, don't be so self-righteous. I'd be crazy to want to destroy the world!"

Destroying those who bullied him in the past and are bullying him now is different from destroying the entire world. He is not crazy enough to make the whole world his enemy.

Although he was scolded, Old Zhang was not angry. He just smiled and said, "If you keep thinking this way, it would be good. I'm afraid that things won't go as planned."

He sighed deeply, looked at the pale sky, then lowered his eyes to look at the young man.

"There's not much I can predict. You're the key person. You've finally got a chance to start over, so I hope you can think about it. It's not that everyone has let you down, and it's not that no one wants you to live."

Hearing these confusing words, Huai Jin frowned deeply, with something surging in his eyes. This old guy is quite capable, he could actually calculate all this.

"Your hexagram seems to have split into two different trajectories. If you wish, you can tell me your previous name and your current name, and let me truly read your hexagram."

Lao Zhang stretched out his hand, holding a divination instrument, and his sincere attitude gave him a choice.

Huai Jin lowered his eyes, his fingertips moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Lao Zhang was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

until.

"I don't know what my current name is, but I know... it's 'Huai Jin'. It was given to me by an important person."

In fact, he could not recognize many words. In his previous life, he was abandoned and lived on the streets without enough food. It was not easy for him to survive. Later, when he became strong, he still felt inferior and disgusted with those things.

Now, I can only recognize the characters based on some memories from my previous life.

These two words were changed by the woman who said his name was ugly.

Hearing this, Old Zhang frowned, "Huai Jin..."

He thought about it carefully, and something came to his mind. Then he sighed and smiled, "It seems that this person thinks highly of you."

Hearing this, Huai Jin suddenly raised his eyes, "What did you say?"

"If your 'Huai Jin' is these two characters, then I'm probably right."

As he spoke, Lao Zhang picked up a pen next to the stall and wrote two sentences.

"Holding the jade in my arms, I know not what to show you"

Then he circled the two words "Huai Jin" with a pen.

Huai Jin looked at the two words, his eyes hesitated for a second, then he looked away slightly and asked in an unnatural tone.

"What does this mean?"

In the end, I suffered from the lack of education.

Seeing this, Old Zhang smiled kindly, then pointed at the sentence with his pen and explained.

"This sentence means, 'I hold a beautiful jade in my arms and a treasure in my hands, but no one knows me, and I don't know who to show it to.' It's meant to be a compliment. The person who gave you this name obviously had high hopes and expectations for you, thinking you could achieve something great."

Although he didn't understand the two lines of poetry, Huai Jin understood what was said.

"What did you say?"

His eyelashes paused, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, with a hint of uncertainty and astonishment in his eyes.

"Does it really mean this?!"

This name was chosen by Sheng Wu, but she only said that his original name "Wu Yan" was ugly, but never explained the meaning of this name.

Old Zhang smiled and nodded. "If that's the case, then I wouldn't be wrong. If you don't believe me, you can ask a scholar yourself."

Hearing this, Huai Jin said nothing, but various emotions surged in his black pupils, including suspicion, nervousness, confusion, and even a hint of joy and excitement.

It turns out that after she initially disliked her own "facelessness", the seemingly random name "Huai Jin" she chose actually had a deep meaning.

Master, have you ever... shown any concern for your disciples?

It has nothing to do with considering him as a backup candidate for Yu Chenming.

[Ding! Villain's favorability, -90!]

[Ding! Villain's favorability, -50!]

[Ding! Villain Favorability: 46!]

The numbness in his chest, a feeling so different from any before, made Huai Jin feel a little overwhelmed.

Finally, the young man lowered his eyes to look at the osmanthus cake in his arms, then pursed his lips and said nothing more.

He stood up and left.

Seeing this, Old Zhang, who had thought there was hope, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his two mustache-like eyebrows flew up.

"Hey, weren't you going to tell me your fortune? Why are you leaving in the middle of the conversation?"

Huai Jin raised his hand to gather the still steaming osmanthus cake in his arms, pursed his thin lips, and spoke in a magnetic and deep voice.

"No thanks." The osmanthus cake is getting cold.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you know the answer?" Old Zhang behind him suddenly asked in a serious voice.

Huai Jin's body stiffened, and then he continued to walk away as if nothing had happened.

Old Zhang watched him leave, and couldn't help but sigh and stroke his beard.

"Hey, it turns out that destiny cannot be violated."
