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

Chapter 236 Book Review

At first, Gu Lang hadn't quite grasped the concept yet, and the "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" only included book reviews about Mr. Wuyu.

But to everyone's surprise, with the release of the new issue of the storybook, this bonus book review has instead sparked heated discussions.

In order to avoid showing a clear stance, Gu Lang not only included the positive reviews left by readers, but also the negative reviews criticizing Mr. Wuyu, and added a short note as a bonus—

"Completely unremarkable, utterly tacky!"

That's right, just eight words, yet they are incredibly infuriating.

Many insightful and incisive negative reviews were also posted.

Therefore, the publication of "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" immediately sparked widespread discussion.

What defines a scholar?

Even if one cannot establish a livelihood for the people, being able to distinguish right from wrong, not blindly following others, and not wasting one's learning will not be in vain.

After reading others' insights that were selected for book reviews, I naturally felt itchy to submit my own, hoping for a clash of ideas. That same day, Ink Trace Bookstore received a large number of letters.

Open a letter—

"That book review by Mr. Mingzhe is utter nonsense. He actually said that the story is poorly written and lacks pacing?"

"I think otherwise. The problem with this book is that it's clearly invincible, yet it doesn't start showing off its power; it's still stuck as a lowly servant in the outer sect!!"

"Is she sick?!"

"I'm speechless. That damn elder has repeatedly acted like a child, doing disgusting things, and has bullied Mingchi several times. Can't he just get it over with and make Mingchi reveal his true identity?!"

"The infamous Water and Fire Duo, just by mentioning their reputation, that damned elder would be so scared that he'd be crawling on the ground."

"He actually made Mingchi sweep the mountain gate?"

"I'm furious! I'm furious! You little thief, tell Mingchi to draw his sword right now and chop off that old scoundrel's head, or I'm abandoning this book!"

"Please be sure to add my book review to that 'Ten Thousand Book Reviews' list!"

Then pick up another letter.

Gu Lang was completely baffled. How could this be so different from the letter he had just received, addressing the same issue but with a completely opposite attitude?

"Despite having the power to turn the world upside down with a flick of the wrist, he still walks through the world with two identities."

"Once the name of the Water and Fire Duo is uttered, the treasures in the secret realm will inevitably fall into their hands—this has become a consensus among the people, inspiring both respect and hatred."

"The real Ming Wanmingchi, in order not to lose the precognitive power of his rebirth, still did not change the development of the surrounding story and remained a lowly outer disciple within the sect."

Even though they had placed many pawns in the sect, the two sisters still lived a simple, unpretentious, and invincible life...

"I've seriously considered whether it was really necessary to hide my identity for so long?"

No, there's no need.

"So, this person is truly wicked... It makes one look forward to the moment when Mingchi and the other tear off their disguises and their true identities are revealed to the world, how glorious and exhilarating that would be, yet the story has yet to reach this point."

"In other words, as long as Mingchi's identity remains unrevealed, readers will continue to look forward to the developments and be motivated to keep reading."

"Speechless. This person is truly adept at casting bait."

When Gu Lang saw the letter, he was amused by the phrase "simple, unpretentious, and invincible".

After reading it carefully, I was extremely shocked—

So, that's what Miss Zhu was planning!

No, no, this letter actually told the truth, it absolutely cannot be published in "Ten Thousand Book Reviews"!

In addition, many other writers' supporters sent letters and wrote reviews of other stories.

After seeing the countless letters, Gu Lang finally understood!

Yup!

Writers wanted to publish their stories, and readers also had a place to publish their moral essays.

What about ordinary people?

How could they not want to express their own opinions?

However, I lack the knowledge and the ability to construct storybooks, but I can use the most common language to evaluate them!

Moreover, it's not that Mr. Wuyu wants to defeat Wuyazi, but rather that their Canglang Collection wants to defeat Qingzhai Collection.

It is unlikely that Mr. Silent alone could defeat the morally despicable Wuyazi.

But if there were a "Ten Thousand Book Reviews"... it would not only allow for reviews of one's own authors' vernacular stories, but also influence the evaluation of other authors' vernacular stories...

Gu Lang immediately understood!

He held a secret meeting with Elder Li and Elder Zhou.

Old Li is of course Manager Li, Li Fuwei.

This Elder Zhou is Zhou Fa, the master of Xu Yicheng of the Juque Sect.

Ever since Xu Yicheng sacrificed himself at the Immortal Cultivation Conference, drawing the Heavenly Decree to punish Zhao Huaiyi and bring about his death, Zhou Fa has been unwilling to stay in the Juque Sect any longer.

Just then, Li Fuwei learned of this matter and sent a letter.

Mohen Bookstore is a great place! It has books and tea, the protection of Zhaixing Tower and Gu's Trading Company, and countless stories to accompany you. You no longer have to fight in the martial arts world or do anything against your conscience under the orders of your sect. It's a perfect place to retire.

After thinking for a few days, Zhou Fa found a new sect for his disciples.

After some maneuvering, the bag arrived in Beixuan City.

Gu Lang treated this Golden Core stage senior with utmost respect, making proper arrangements for him and adding a valuable assistant to his bookstore.

After receiving countless letters, he engaged in a heated debate with the two elders, patiently persuading them until they finally pulled out their savings and began to pour money into the book, "Ten Thousand Book Reviews," to promote it.

The book reviews are not for making money.

Its greatest function is that it can serve as a mouthpiece for external affairs.

Therefore, each serving is priced very low, making it affordable for anyone who can read.

If Zhu Wuyao had seen "Ten Thousand Book Reviews," he would have realized that this was the prototype of a newspaper.

Now, the ending of "Outer Gate Servant" has been released.

Book reviews naturally poured in from all directions. Not to mention that Bei Xuan's letters required a carriage to carry them, and Nan Li and Dong Ji also needed to fill several baskets.

Just then, Zhou Fa held up a letter and said:

"Huh, there's a book review here, but it's not for 'Outer Sect Servant,' it's for 'Sword Immortal Master.'"

"And his words were harsh, as if he was particularly indignant."

Gu Lang popped out of the envelope and said, "Ah? Let me see! The Zhu family... um?!"

The Zhu family of Dongji City!

A barrage of thoughts exploded in Gu Lang's mind, his head brimming with guesses and questions. He thought of when Miss Zhu first came to Mohen Bookstore... how she looked all alone and helpless, and he seemed to have never heard her mention her parents...

Sword Immortal Master...

Could it be that Miss Zhu has encountered something similar to what Zhou Zhi did?

Could it be that her uncles, aunts, cousins, or other relatives were secretly worshipping some kind of demonic energy? Miss Zhu discovered the clues, and thus, under the pseudonym "Speechless," wrote about the Sword Immortal Master to warn the world?

Oh no, this is terrible! Is the world about to end?
