Gu Yuanzhen clapped her hands and said, "Look, I said he couldn't be Gu Long, right?"
"Why?"
A mumbling voice was heard, this time it was Liu Ruyan who was standing behind.
Gu Yuanzhen turned around, looking a little surprised. "Didn't I tell you? Chen Ya couldn't have written 'The Sentimental Swordsman' at the age of 13."
"Why?" Liu Ruyan tilted her head.
Gu Yuanzhen: “…”
Liu Ruyan is good in every way, but sometimes it feels too difficult to talk to her.
He unfolded the book and said, "Look, what's in 'The Sentimental Swordsman'? The turbulent world of martial arts, the turbulent twists and turns of love, Li Xunhuan and Ah Fei trapped in love, the righteous heroes with their sanctimonious demeanor, Shangguan Jinhong's heroic demeanor... How could a 13-year-old possibly write such rich and varied content?"
He Shiying nodded. "Indeed, I was fascinated by it at the time because I felt that the content in the book was so sophisticated, as if it could be written by someone who had been wandering the world for many years. I also wondered what kind of experiences the author had gone through."
Liu Ruyan seemed to think for a moment, and finally said, "The teacher is very precocious."
"You shouldn't be this precocious!"
Qin Yunchu squatted on the ground and said, "If he really is Gu Long, there must be some evidence. As long as... we look for it... we must be able to find it... huh?"
As she spoke, her speech became slower and slower.
Because she found something strange in the cabinet.
A stack of old, yellowed manuscript paper.
She pulled out the stack of manuscript paper, brushed off the dust, and turned to the first page. It read:
"'Gu Long,' hello! We have received your work, 'The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword.' Writing such a magnificent work is truly remarkable. However, after reviewing it, our editor-in-chief found the writing to be absurd, filled with outrageous language, and the characters' actions to be illogical. The concept of so-called martial arts is also unheard of. It does not meet our publishing requirements, so please revise it and resubmit it.
"As for your request for a deposit in advance, our agency has no precedent for this and regretfully cannot satisfy your request.
