Chapter 68: Cutting Thorns (Part 7)



After a heart-breaking interview, the reporter deeply realized what it means to be "a scholar meets a soldier, and he can't explain his reason clearly". Although they are right, they can't win the argument, but the reason and the mood are the same. But what can we do? Everyone is waiting to see the interview of the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Moreover, the influence of a top scorer in Lincheng is not limited to Lincheng, but affects the whole country. There are top scorers in the college entrance examination every year, but a perfect score of 750 is very scary. Everyone wants to see what kind of person this person is, even if he does not participate in the college entrance examination.

Finally, under the pressure of the unknown leader, the reporter could only hide his conscience and broadcast this video which was called a learning experience but was actually an advertisement. No one knows who is above Yan Changge, but such a video was actually allowed to be posted on the Internet!

The video was broadcast on the National Education Channel, and few people saw it. But it was different on the Internet. The eye-catching words "Exclusive interview with the top scorer of Lincheng College Entrance Examination" were placed on the homepage of every news app. The total number of hits on the Internet exceeded 100 million in less than three hours, and the number of reposts reached tens of millions, and this number is still soaring.

Yan Changge, who was already very popular on the Internet, has suddenly become incredibly popular. After all, it is only young people who like Weibo and variety shows, but every parent would like to see how other people's children get full marks in the exam!

In China, the college entrance examination is a major event in a child's life. Almost everyone pays attention to it, regardless of gender, age or status, and it affects all citizens of the country.

Just like that, Yan Changge, with his evil face, appeared in the sight of the people of the whole country.

The original poster: I woke up in the middle of the night and accidentally saw Toutiao. Oh my god, this guy is the top scorer in the college entrance examination?

RT, the original poster who used to like Young and Dangerous when he was a kid couldn't help wanting to get a tattoo and carry a kitchen knife to follow him when he saw him. Is this guy really the top scorer in the college entrance examination? The way he's selling Amway seriously, I don't believe he's the top scorer in the college entrance examination at all!

1st floor: Sofa. I'll go watch that video too. It's scary to get a perfect score.

2nd floor: Sofa

10th floor: Oh my god, all I see is the evil cult leader, the smile when he was making the commercial, the calm expression when he crossed his hands on the table, the aura of being able to destroy everything in his conversation... I originally wanted to watch the video to despise the academic bully wearing thick glasses, but what did I see? With all due respect, if the academic bully looked like this -

Then please make me a top student, so handsome!

11th floor: While waiting in line, I was beaten to a bloody pulp by a handsome guy with an evil smile. I want to learn martial arts and join the Lincheng Martial Arts Association... I decided to accept this recommendation!

12th floor: row 10th floor, very handsome.

13th Floor: Queue 10th Floor. I am obviously a man, but I don’t know why I had the urge to kneel down under his suit pants and lick his shoes. Don’t ask me why!

53F: I am old and I type slowly. This kid looks so scary. I was so scared that I turned off the video when I opened it. But when I thought about the perfect score in the college entrance examination and my child will take the college entrance examination next year, I couldn’t help but open it again for the sake of my child. As a result, I couldn’t stop watching it. The boy looks really handsome. I wish my child could learn from him. It’s just that his face looks scary... Not ugly, really handsome, just scary.

54th floor: I don’t know if the person upstairs is the grandfather or the grandmother, but she was so frightened by our President Yan that she became incoherent and accidentally got powdered on her. She looked so cute [starry eyes].

55th floor: Back to 53th floor. Although I am young, I still understand. I was also scared at first, but then I couldn't help watching it. I couldn't stop watching it. I have watched it five times now. I don't remember what President Yan said. All I can see is his calm expression. I envy the reporter who interviewed him at that time.

117th Floor: Don’t envy me, I never want to interview him again.

118th floor: Hulu is upstairs pretending to be a reporter. What does it feel like to meet Yan Dada? Is it that you get goosebumps from the evil spirit, but you can't help wanting to get closer to this handsome guy? To be honest, I've been licking my phone screen for a long time.

119F: Same as above, my phone screen is a little dirty.

120F: My computer screen is a little dirty.

121st Floor: My TV screen is a bit dirty, but it’s so nice to see handsome faces on TV!

122nd Floor: What's going on upstairs? Can I still watch it on TV?

123rd floor: Back upstairs, I'm on the 121st floor, the education channel is broadcasting now, digital TV can record and play it back, I have watched it countless times~

Floor 157: I'm on the 117th floor. You who haven't seen him in person are too naive. It's not that you have goosebumps all over your body because of his evil spirit, but that when you see him you feel like you have been killed countless times. It's better to stay away from him.

158th floor: Killer aura! Oh my god, is this the aura in TV novels where martial arts masters have reached a certain level and can defeat others without fighting just by their aura? No, I am so overwhelmed by his handsomeness that I can’t bear it!

159th floor: Me too, me too. I am too old to learn martial arts, but I still have a child! I don’t want to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but I can’t meet Master Yan. I want my child to learn martial arts and cultivate peerless martial arts. Then maybe I can have the chance to meet the middle-aged version of Master Yan!

160th Floor: The goals upstairs are very ambitious, and it’s time for me to consider getting married and having children.

573F: Ahhhhhhh! I just found out that Yan Dada is going to Imperial Capital University in September! I’m a sophomore at Imperial Capital University, and I’m so happy to think that I’ll be in the same school with Yan Dada for the next three years!

574th floor: Those who don’t have enough score lines look upstairs with blood on their faces…

575F: I suddenly realized that I must turn off the internet and study hard, so that I can be admitted to university next year and stay in touch with Yan University for the next three years.

576th floor: Upstairs, I also... need to go study.

577th floor: +2

613th floor: +10086

Floor 614: A second-year junior high student looked up at the high building with bloodshot eyes. Even if I was admitted to Beijing Metropolitan University, I would have graduated from Yan University!

615th floor: It’s okay, at least you can tell others that you and YNU are alumni. You still have hope, how can I feel embarrassed when I go to university and it’s not Imperial University!

616th floor: I want to go back to high school to review...

617th floor: +1

618th floor: +2

637th floor: + ID number

After Yan Changge came to modern society, the most troubling thing was that his evil aura would scare people away. He was a sword that wanted to be a good person, and this evil aura would become an obstacle for him. However, through the Internet and the media, people who could not directly contact him could not feel the suffocating terror, but could only see the handsome Yan Changge with evil aura but planning and strategizing. In addition, his mysterious, lofty and inspiring identities as an ancient martial arts hermit, the president of the Lincheng Martial Arts Association, and the top scorer in the college entrance examination attracted fans from all walks of life. These days, compared to the righteous good guys, people naturally prefer those who are evil but gentle and kind.

"My merits have increased." Yan Changge, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.

"It's... incredible..." Qu Lian, who shared resources with him, also wondered, "Why do I feel... that the merits increased more this time than the last time we were in the suburbs? Could it be that the people behind the underground boxing ring were caught in one fell swoop, and the heavens have already cleared the merits for you?"

"No," Yan Changge shook his head slowly, "I have been following that matter. You have to know that according to legal procedures, investigation and sentencing is a very long process. It is impossible to settle the matter so quickly."

"What's going on?" Qu Lian said, "I have gained so much merit these days that even I feel like I'm about to become a top-notch expert."

After finishing a day's work, Qu Huisheng looked at the swordsmen with a look of despair and said, "You still have more than a month before you go to college, right? Could you please fulfill your duties as the president? All the people who have signed up these days are your fans. They come to make trouble whether they have martial arts skills or not. They block the door when they can't see you. Can you show up and appease them?"

"I know the reason now," Yan Changge tapped the table with his fingers and said to Qu Hui, "Thank you for reminding me."

"What's the reason?" Qu Lian asked curiously.

"Preaching," Yan Changge explained, "as long as your 'Tao' is just and creates value for society, the country and the people, your 'Tao' is in line with the law of energy. When you spread your 'Tao' to the world and create more value, this is merit. All those who accept your 'Tao' and move forward, and the good deeds they do according to your 'Tao', will be counted as merit."

Qu Lian opened his phone and looked at the comments online. He also suddenly realized, "So many students have expressed their willingness to study hard so that they can be admitted to Imperial University to meet you. Some gangsters have also expressed their willingness to follow in your footsteps, give up martial arts and pursue literature, and become a person who is beneficial to society. This is indeed a great thing. No wonder you have received so much merit."

"I originally planned that as long as I completed enough credits, I wouldn't have to go to school, but now it seems that this is not possible." Yan Changge hugged Qu Lian and smiled faintly, "I need to show up at school often and interact with them. The students of Imperial Capital University are the future pillars of the country. By passing on the 'Tao' to them, my 'Tao' will definitely be passed on to more people."

"Then you don't have to worry about turning back into a sword anymore." Qu Lian kissed Yan Changge's lips gently, half distressed and half happy, "As long as your thoughts and ideas are there, the more people are influenced by your ideas, the stronger your power will be."

"Yes," Yan Changge held Qu Lian's hand tightly and said softly, "You and I can exist in this world for a long time and never be separated again."

Qu Lian embraced Yan Changge, wanting his frail body to wrap Yan Changge in his arms: "I am willing to be your scabbard forever, protecting your heart so that you will never be alone."

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Qu Huiting wanted to kick this shameless couple out of his office, but after all, Yan Changge was the president now, and he, the acting president, was the one who should leave. But there was too much work, and he couldn't stand it when he had to work overtime and be abused.

Although Qu Hui wanted to refute them, after hearing what Yan Changge said, he pondered for a long time and said: "I remember that when you were doing earthquake relief, you turned into a sword. Your explanation at that time was that you suddenly gained a lot of merit, and you were caught off guard and went through the calamity, and as a result, you were chopped back to your original form, right?"

"Why do you bring this up?" Yan Changge asked.

"I think I know why you suddenly gained a lot of merit." Qu Hui said.

"At the time, I thought that someone among the people you trained would become a great figure who would change the world in the future. But later, I observed all of them and found that no one had the appearance of a king. This matter has always been a mystery in my mind." Yan Changge said, "It seems that you know the answer."

"This is just speculation," Qu Hui explained. "It was probably around that time that we led the team to participate in a joint competition among various branches of the country's military. Our team beat all the other teams. They asked us why we were so powerful, and those warriors who admired you told them what you had done. I guess after that, the entire country's army knew about your deeds."

"You have passed on my 'Tao'." Yan Changge said firmly.

"Maybe that's the case. Who asked you to do those things? Although they are incredible, they are indeed admirable and make people want to follow them?" Qu Hui picked up the documents helplessly and continued to deal with the busy affairs of the Lincheng Martial Arts Association. Who asked him to be one of the people who was influenced by Yan Changge's "Tao"?

"But what exactly is my 'Tao'?" Yan Changge pondered, "I just don't want to be turned into a sword and controlled by others anymore. Where is the 'Tao'?"

"Yes!" Qu Lian firmly held Yan Changge's hand, looked at him seriously and said, "I have always been by your side. I can feel your 'Tao'. Maybe I am the first person to be influenced by you."

At that time, Qu Lian complained about everything, gave up his life, and lived in a daze, unable to see good people or good things. However, on that night, in a quiet alley, when Qu Lian was caught and blackmailed by a strong man, Yan Changge stepped forward with a firm step and infected Qu Lian with his "Tao".

From then on, he believed in justice, believed in kindness, believed that every day of life was beautiful, and believed that this world, which was as dark as his, would become full of happiness and laughter again.

"When you walked out of the ancient tomb, the first decision you made was not to become a bloodthirsty demon, but to choose to take a long and difficult road. Even if this road would put you in danger of being beaten back to your original form at any time, you would continue to walk forward unswervingly."

"Traveling the world with a sword, doing justice, this is your 'Tao'!"

Qu Lian's words broke through Yan Changge's myth.

Yes, the Yan State ancient sword Chang Ge has carried the expectations of the two great sword-making masters since its birth. What are their expectations?

Give the sword to a wise ruler, end the chaotic world, and bring peace and prosperity to the people!

The ancient sword Chang Ge is the best weapon in the world. The sword holder must have a firm mind and put the people first, otherwise he is not worthy of being the sword master and will be attacked by the sword. Since he was born 2,200 years ago, Chang Ge has always protected his country and the world, and has never deviated from his "Tao".

It was so before, and it will be so in the future.
