Chapter 13 Jin Yong and Gu Long



Below the bookshelf is a small storage cabinet, which is full of books.

The books are stacked up and are about to fall down.

Because there were too many of them, and some were even stuffed in there forcefully, that's why one of them fell out just now.

"Oh, this is a wholesale deal?"

Gu Yuanzhen squatted down and took out a book from inside. She saw that the plastic cover was still there.

He blew on it, causing dust to fly, and then patted it with his hands. The gold-plated words on the cover reflected the light:

"The Twins".

"Hey, this is my favorite book." He Shiying next to her was quick and snatched the copy of "The Twins of Heroes".

Gu Yuanzhen glared: "You can read?"

He Shiying was furious: "Why don't I read books? You look down on me, don't you? I even got full marks in Chinese when I was a kid!"

Qin Yunchu pursed his lips and smiled.

She knows her best friend very well. Even when she is reading, her focus is different from others.

"Hua Wu Que is so handsome, and Xiao Yu'er is also so cool. He was very tense at the beginning, but the CP feeling in the later stage was simply explosive. If it weren't for this book, I wouldn't know that the twin brothers' CP is so good..."

As expected. Qin Yunchu smiled even more happily.

Gu Yuanzhen covered her face: "You are actually still a rotten girl..."

"What do you know? Every boy thinks he's straight until he meets a boy he likes."

Gu Yuanzhen decided to ignore her and continued to take books out of the cabinet.

"The Wandering Swordsman," "The Heroes of the Banner," "The Twin Dragons of Tang Dynasty," "A Step into the Past"... As expected, this cabinet is full of Gu Long's novels."

Qin Yunchu squatted beside him and asked, "Is Gu Long's novel good?"

Gu Yuanzhen nodded. "A groundbreaking author, he's a master of half the martial arts novel genre."

"Creation of the world?" Qin Yunchu didn't quite understand.

"There had never been any martial arts novels in China before. Suddenly, two authors and two books directly opened the martial arts era. One of them was Gu Long's "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword."" said Gu Yuanzhen.

Qin Yunchu said, "I've never heard of it."

Gu Yuanzhen smiled slightly. "Boss Qin, you may not have heard of the title, but you must have read it. It's a national-level work."

"Is it that powerful?"

Gu Yuanzhen smiled and turned around and said, "How about making a bet? I bet that Mr. Qin has heard of the characters in this book."

He Shiying immediately said, "I bet I know."

Liu Ruyan, who usually has a cool personality, actually joined in this time and said, "We'll know by bet."

Qin Yunchu was speechless. "How come you're more confident than I am? Are you so sure I know the answer?"

Gu Yuanzhen said, "I'll just say one name: Li Xunhuan."

"ah!"

Qin Yunchu immediately let out a small cry.

She actually knew the name.

So she was exposed, and now she couldn't pretend she didn't know.

Everyone had a secretive smile on their face.

Qin Yunchu covered her mouth with a blush, "So Li Xunhuan is from this book?"

Gu Yuanzhen explained: "The title of this book is not well-known, but the characters in it are all outstanding. Li Xunhuan, Ah Fei, Lin Xian'er, many books later borrowed from these characters."

Liu Ruyan stood in the back and said, "There are also Weapon List and Bai Xiaosheng. These settings are also often used."

Qin Yunchu was a little shocked: "So the weapon manuals all originated from this book?"

"Yeah, what do you think..."

"Seeing so many books with these settings, I thought they existed in history..." Qin Yunchu blushed even more.

He Shiying said with great joy, "What they said is too profound. Yunchu, let me tell you, it's super sweet! The couple of Ah Fei and Li Xunhuan in this book makes me itch every time I read it. I really want to see Li Xunhuan dominating Ah Fei against the wall!"

Gu Yuanzhen ignored her and turned to ask Liu Ruyan, "Is Chen Ya a Gu Long fanatic? So he writes martial arts novels himself?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head.

"I've never heard the teacher talk about ancient cages."

Gu Yuanzhen stared at the books in the cabinet: "Then why does he collect so many books in Gulong style? ...Oh, that's right, if he really likes Gulong style, he wouldn't have left some of the books in their plastic covers unopened."

Qin Yunchu said, "It's just a simple desire to collect. I'm like that sometimes, too. I buy a bunch of books, but then I don't read them once I get home."

Gu Yuanzhen also grumbled: "Buying books is like a mountain, reading books is like pulling out a thread... But I read martial arts novels like a mountain, sometimes I even stay up all night to read, I just can't stop."

He Shiying asked: "Which book are you most fascinated by?"

Gu Yuanzhen said, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

Qin Yunchu frowned: "Is 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' also from Gu Long?"

Gu Yuanzhen smiled: "No. It belongs to Jin Yong."

He Shiying's eyes widened. "Good for you! We're having a great time chatting about Gulong, and you actually dare to mention Jinyong?!"

Gu Yuanzhen glared and said, "What's wrong with Jin Yong? Jin Yong's writing is much better than Gu Long's."

He Shiying showed an expression of disbelief: "You actually said that Jin Yong is better looking than Gu Long? How is Jin Yong better looking than Gu Long?"

"It's a consensus that the Jinyong is more beautiful than the Gulong."

"What world's consensus is this? How come I don't know about it?"

"This must be the consensus of Earth. Are you from Mars?"

"Alright, alright, alright!" Qin Yunchu quickly stopped the two of them, "Why are you still arguing?"

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and laughed, "Fans of these two groups are always like this."

He Shiying was still furious, and folded her arms as she asked, "Gu Yuanzhen, you're going to rebel, right? Do you still want to pursue me?"

Gu Yuanzhen's arrogance weakened a little, but he still insisted on speaking his mind:

"This is a battle of beliefs, not personal feelings. I may pursue you, but the golden yong is more beautiful than the ancient cage. This is an irrefutable truth. I love you, but I love the truth more..."

He Shiying curled her lips and said, "Stop trying to make excuses. I have to make things clear today. I can't accept a boyfriend who thinks Jin Yong is prettier than Gu Long. Even if we're together, we'll definitely break up because of this!"

Qin Yunchu knew that he couldn't let them argue any longer, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Who is Jin Yong? I haven't read many martial arts novels. Can you tell me about him?"

Seeing an opportunity to promote her idol, Gu Yuanzhen immediately started preaching with great enthusiasm:

"If Gu Long's The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Swordsman was the first to fire the first shot in the wuxia novel, then The Legend of the Condor Heroes, published just a month later, truly laid the foundation for the wuxia novel.

"The martial arts craze sparked by 'The Sentimental Swordsman' was only a small fire. When 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' was published, the streets were packed with people. Everyone went crazy!"
