Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

The guests below the stage had different thoughts, but Manager Li on the stage remained calm throughout.

Having been rivals for years, how could he not know Wu Cang's tricks? Hmph, he's disliked him for a long time, and this time, he's really in trouble!

If others don’t know, doesn’t he know?

That damned "Wuya Zi" is clearly Wu Cang's pen name.

How can a shopkeeper have no shame?!

This is clearly using public office for private gain. The writing is not very good, but it has promoted itself quite well by relying on "Qingzhai Anthology".

Shopkeeper Li said, "Haha, Brother Wu, don't worry, Mr. Wuyu's story will certainly not disappoint everyone's expectations!"

He deliberately didn't praise it too much, and continued:

"However, I might have just finished showing it to you, and tomorrow there will be ten or so similar volumes in the Qingzhai Anthology."

"Oh, look at what I'm saying! How could Qingzhai Anthology do such a thing? Especially your Tianya Zi, who has always been unconventional and disdains imitating others' styles, creating his own unique writing style!"

His veiled criticism, while seemingly praising, almost made the guests burst out laughing.

Those who were invited here are all people who love reading storybooks. Everyone knows that the plots of Tianya Zi and Mr. Wuyu's storybooks are extremely similar!

Wu Cang's face turned pale and then red. He snorted coldly and said:

"What kind of tricks can Wu Yu write? It's nothing more than characters who are lucky and often encounter some strange encounters."

"You're so stingy with this little bit of stuff? Do you think nobody cares?!"

Hey! That's what I've been waiting for you to say.

The two exchanged a few words, but the guests below couldn't wait any longer.

They came to see Mr. Silent's new story, not to listen to two old men arguing.

Madam Sun laughed heartily and spoke first:

"You two, that's enough. If you have something to say, argue in private. Aren't you ashamed to do it in public?"

"Quickly bring out Mr. Wuyu's new storybook and add some good wine to my cup. If it's still just as good, then I'll keep an eye on Tianya Zi."

"If he copies the plot again, I'll put up a sign in his jewelry store and scold him."

"Of course, if Mr. Speechless lowers his tone this time and I can't scold her, then Manager Li, who arranged for us to come here in the dead of winter, I won't let you off the hook!"

Sui Zhi nodded in agreement from the corner.

That's right, the quality of a storybook depends on the skill demonstrated by writing, not on arguing.

The others chimed in, "That's right! Hurry up and bring out the storybook so we can see it. I've been eyeing Mr. Speechless's new storybook for ages!"

Manager Li smiled and went straight to the point:

"I am honored to invite all of you to this banquet, and that is precisely the reason for this."

After speaking, he clapped his hands, and as the crisp applause rang out, the hired servants filed in and presented the exquisitely made booklet to the small table in front of each guest.

The cover of the booklet, like the "poster," was made of carefully selected paper. As soon as some collectors picked it up, they couldn't put it down.

The layout is also meticulous, separating the page where Mingchi dies from the page where she is reborn into two separate pages.

I've been shocked myself, so no one else should be left out!

Manager Li introduced the following to everyone:

"Mr. Silent's new story is also in a style never before seen, and the protagonist's personality is exceptionally vivid..."

Unfortunately, his prepared speech was completely useless.

As soon as everyone received the booklet, they couldn't wait to open it and read it.

Nobody wanted to listen to Manager Li's rambling any longer.

After talking for a while, Manager Li suddenly felt that he was being a bit annoying... so he immediately stopped talking and sat down next to Zhu Wuyao.

Zhu Wuyao was also holding a storybook at this moment, and was pretending to nod, exclaim, frown, and slap his thigh.

Lady Sun, lacking any scholarly airs, slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed in admiration after only a short while—

"This Mingchi is to my liking!"

Regardless of good or evil, life should be lived with such exuberance and passion.

Even if millions of people surround you and say you're wrong, as long as you have a clear conscience, you should be a respectable person and stand tall!

The more she read, the more excited she became. Although she felt sorrow, she could not hide her boundless pride.

Although she didn't know the truth, judging from her demeanor alone, she liked Ming Chi very much and wished she could put on armor and fight alongside her.

Following Madam Sun's exclamation of praise, Brother Li beside her nodded in agreement and sighed in agreement:

"This pen is truly powerful. It is clear that it is impossible to know who is right and who is wrong, and that it is wrong to make a hasty judgment. Yet, with such a description, I was captivated by this woman who is like a demon, and I felt a sense of indignation in my heart that I had to express."

At this point, few people realized that Ming Chi was the protagonist.

The setting sun draped over him like a battle robe, the scene of flames swirling around him as he was surrounded by thousands of men, made him look like a hero facing his end.

Moreover, she is so powerful that she can fight against thousands of people by herself, so why would she become a menial servant?

Perhaps, the real protagonist will only appear after Mingchi dies?

Ah! If only a flamboyant and passionate woman like Mingchi were the protagonist.

Especially Manager Wu Cang, he's already got his little schemes up his sleeve.

Such a character is too intense; wouldn't it be a pity if she died like this? Manager Wu only felt regret and wanted to give her a leading role!

Those few who guessed that Ming Chi was the protagonist, like Manager Li, never anticipated the true meaning of the word "rebirth".

After all, some demon races still remain on other continents, and the legend of the phoenix rising from the ashes is widely circulated.

Perhaps Mingchi concealed his identity and started as a menial laborer, regained his strength, and cleared his name?

When she saw those people accusing Ming Chi of trying to quell the Crimson Flame Sea by sacrificing mortals to seize the Boundless Fire and steal her sister's Glazed Jade, Madam Sun slammed her hand on the table in anger.

What nonsense!

How could such a proud person do such a despicable thing?!

The man next to me, Brother Li, is a scholar named Li Yi, and he was quite amazed by this way of writing.

Such a few questions and accusations actually contained so much content.

It not only explains the origin of the matter, but also introduces the flames surrounding Ming Chi as "the flames of innocence," the important treasure she once possessed called the Glazed Jade, and points out her merit in saving the world, while one of the origins of the disaster is the Crimson Flame Sea.

Even Mingchi's background has become clearer.

Li Yi's thoughts have also changed somewhat. He now feels that this Miss Ming Chi should be the protagonist.

Moreover, the later plot should bring him some surprises.

Hearing those who were besieging him mention Liuliyu and his sister, Mingchi looked at his "brother-in-law" Chu Sheng with eyes full of anger.

Sui Zhi was delighted.

She was now certain that Ming Chi was innocent, and had become the person most attuned to Mr. Wuyu at the hawthorn banquet. How did she know?

Chu Sheng, you beast!

Isn't this a blatant hint?
