Marquis Wu sent Zhuge Dali to visit the old heavenly master

"Boy, I'm giving you one last chance, delete it quickly!"

Meng Lang, on the other hand, was indifferent: "I'm doing this for your own good! Why did you delete such an interesting revealing of true feelings? Later, find a chance to let Dali show it to Sister Nuolan. It's no better than you, an old bachelor who was born in solo. Much more useful?"

"...No, it's still too embarrassing!" After hesitating for a while, Ding Zhangan still shook his head.

Obviously, Uncle An still couldn't let go of his idol burden as the two heroes.

Seeing that he was obsessed with obsession, Meng curled his lips and said helplessly: "Straight men are really hopeless...What's so shameful about it? No matter how shabby you are, can you be as shabby as yourself?"

"Me? Shabby?"

Ding Zhangan pointed to his nose in disbelief, couldn't help but sneered, the mockery in his eyes clearly expressed his meaning - if this word spreads to the foreign circles in China, you are not afraid of making people laugh!

Seeing this, Meng Lang couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Why, are you not convinced? Did I say something wrong?

Look at yourself—you are in your forties, and you don’t even have a serious job except for having a little bit of experience in fighting. Fortunately, Sister Nuolan still has a good impression of you, I really don’t know What is she trying to figure out... is she trying to figure out how old you are?Or is it that you don't take a shower? "

"You fart! I obviously take a shower every week!" Maybe because he felt that he was wrong, Uncle An's voice of argument was much lower.

Seeing him change the subject, Meng's face became even more disdainful: "You are still a man, can you be a little more responsible?"

"Boy, you have to be responsible for what you say! Why am I not responsible?"

"Okay, let me ask you... Since you have admitted the body of Sister Nuolan, let's assume that you two got together after going back, then the question will follow - after being together? As a man, what are you going to do to support your family?"

Ding Zhang'an looked confused: "Didn't the Haoqi League agree to pay me a salary? Do you dare to go back on your word!?"

Meng Lang shrugged: "But the Haoqi League may not exist forever. I told you before that the alien circle, like religion, is a phased product of history. Sooner or later, it will close its doors. What will you do then? Bring your wife Does the child go to the street to beg for food?"

"This……"

Ding Zhang'an was speechless, which reminded him of what this smart and astute woman politely hinted at when he was chatting with Nuo Lan that night——

【"Brother Ding, why do you want to practice martial arts?"

"Practicing martial arts... Actually, it's nothing, I just want a sense of security."

"sense of security?"

"Well, since I was very young, I feel that I have always been surrounded by some kind of 'uneasiness'-a stone can hurt me, a piece of glass can hurt me, a disease can hurt me... the world Everything, when it comes out in the right way at the right time, can hurt me."

"So? In order to offset your fear, you went to learn martial arts?"

"...Yes, I think this insecurity is because I am too weak. Since then, I have started to exercise desperately. Whether it is mind or body, I think about making myself as good as possible every day. Get a little stronger.

I feel that every time I become stronger, those who can threaten me will be less, and I will be closer to the "peace" I pursue.

I am ashamed to say that I was too young and my mind was too simple at that time... But as my knowledge continued to grow, I gradually realized that there are many dangers that human beings cannot contend with, so I had no choice but to settle for the second best and turn my goal to equals. The individual under the condition - the person. "

"people?"

"That's right, I don't want a single person who can threaten me, I want to be the strongest beyond everyone!"

"That is to say... Brother Ding, do you want to be number one in the world?"

"Hey, it may be a little bit more than that, what I want is not the number one in the competitive sense...

Let's put it this way, as long as there are people who can compete with me, it is not the realm I want.

What I want is the kind of strength that no one in this world can threaten me anymore!

Maybe that's the only way to eliminate the insecurity that has always accompanied me..."

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..."

(｀_′)ゞ？？？

"Miss Nuolan, what are you laughing at?"

"Sorry, I lost my temper a bit! But Brother Ding, you are really cute when you are dishonest~"

"I...dishonest? But what I say is from the bottom of my heart!"

"I understand~ Looking at it now, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe you as silly and cute~"

"……what?"

"Brother Ding, you should know that I studied mind purification in Ugly Country for a period of time, right?"

"Of course! I asked... I accidentally heard my junior sister mention it."

"Then do you want to know what the psychological term for a situation like yours is?"

"What's it called?"

"Childhood Shadow Syndrome!"

"..."

"Brother Ding, forgive me for taking the liberty. I asked Yifei before. Your family situation should not be very good, right?"

"Sorry, I'm a little tired, let's talk another day..."]

Thinking of the drunken chat that was suddenly interrupted by him, Ding Zhang'an's heart twitched violently.

No one knows that Ding Zhang'an, one of the two heroes in the world, is actually just a coward in essence.

Because he lost the relationship between his parents since he was a child, he respects and fears his elder brother who cares about him like a father - he is grateful for his silent devotion to himself, but also afraid of his overly ardent expectations of himself.

So, perhaps because of family inheritance, Ding Zhuan, who was overwhelmed by his elder brother's expectations, thought of escaping from reality almost exactly like his little niece decades later...

And so, Ding Zhuan, who was "dedicated to martial arts because of insecurity", fell out with his elder brother. The elder brother who loved his younger brother chose to compromise, and his "escape" was successful.

It sounds a bit like Versailles—the little girl studied hard to become an all-round student because she wanted to escape reality; and Uncle An also wanted to escape reality, worked hard to practice and became the third-ranked student in the world...

Seeing Ding Zhangan in a daze, Meng, who had always been impatient, suddenly said, "Uncle An, I have a question for you. What do you think is a man?"

"A man? To be honest, I haven't thought much about it. I just heard Master say what it means to be a man when I was learning Kung Fu."

Meng Lang raised his hand to take a cup of tea from the table indifferently: "Okay~ Then tell me first, what is a human being?"

"People..."

While muttering in his mouth, Ding Zhangan slowly sat up straight, pointing to the sky with one hand and pointing to the ground with the other: "Human, an indomitable beast!"

"puff--!"

Meng Lang sprayed the tea on the ground.
