Every disciple must go through a character-bestowing ceremony by the Immortal Master in the third year of being under his guidance, which means that the master gives the disciple a courtesy name.
It so happened that it was time to bestow a name upon Wen Huai this year.
The sky was clear and the air was fresh, with a gentle breeze blowing.
The naming ceremony took place in the Jade Spirit Courtyard.
The disciples and elders from various sects gathered in the hall to watch the lively scene when they had spare time.
A servant brought a bowl of morning dew, and I dipped my fingers into the dew, lightly touching Wen Huai's head. And then, Wen Huai began his monologue once again.
"Master's hand feels so comfortable."
"So moist and refreshing, like the mist in the early morning."
"Why do I feel bloated in my stomach?"
Such nonsense thoughts at such a young age.
If your stomach feels bloated, it must be because you ate something inappropriate!
I tried my best to ignore Wen Huai's inner monologue and continued with the naming ceremony.
"In the vast emptiness, there is only the Dao and spiritual beings, and one's innate nature always remains."
"Now the water has entered the head, clearing the five viscera."
I felt my eyelids twitch, but I held back.
"May you attain enlightenment and illumination in one sudden moment."
"In the name of all the gods, I beseech your courtesy name..."
I couldn't hold back anymore.
Enough already! The thing I hate the most in my life is when others call me short.
"Shut up, you damn brat!" I blurted out.
Oops.
It's over.
Wen Huai froze, and so did the other Immortal Masters.
After a while, Wen Huai timidly asked, "Master, is my courtesy name 'Shut up, you damn brat'?"
