Let's put aside whether she and Hu Jiu are a couple.
It's absurd that a man and a woman are trying to help a female cultivator become independent, but the woman complains about the hardship and wants to give up, while the man insists on doing so...
When helping the female cultivator, the woman gave up, but the man persisted. What? Was it the woman's independence or the man's achievement?
What is this trying to say?
This is clearly an attempt to smear women and elevate men.
An Qinghuan said bluntly, "Don't you really know where the problem lies?"
The sea maiden couldn't get the reason out of her, and having been tormented for so many days, she also harbored resentment.
She gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke: "No one you love! No giving up! You only realized this when An Zhengzheng was being forced into marriage..."
"All the changes have been reversed!"
Is there anything else that needs to be sent back for revision?!
She's almost gone crazy.
An Qinghuan blinked and pointed innocently, saying, "Huh... that's not how it is."
"Some things can't be restored to their original state just because you changed them back."
She smiled brightly: "Look, my original words here were, 'I never want to live a life of being forced into marriage. Even if it's tiring, I want freedom.' Look at what you all changed them to?"
"...What did they change it to?" What could they possibly change it to?
The sea maiden gripped the notebook, her eyes wide as she looked at it; it clearly conveyed the same meaning!
An Qinghuan was infuriating, and said in a serious tone, "You missed the word 'absolute'!"
"……What?"
The sea maiden doubted her own ears.
An Qinghuan kindly repeated, "You missed a word! You missed a word! You missed the word 'absolute'!"
Sea Girl: ...
"That's clearly sophistry!"
The sea maiden was trembling with anger. They had called many people over the past few days to revise the manuscript again and again.
At first, it was fine to correct some factual things, but now they're even scrutinizing every single word.
"How can this be considered sophistry?"
An Qinghuan was surprised and explained to her, "You're someone who made your fortune with your pen, so you should know that sometimes omitting a single word can completely change the meaning. For example, if you omit the word 'not' from 'I am not at home today,' it becomes 'I am at home today,' which has the exact opposite meaning."
"What different effect can the word 'absolute' have?" the sea maiden sneered.
"How could you not have it!" An Qinghuan looked incredulous. "The word 'absolute' represents my determination and my resolve. If you omit this word, the emotion I express will be greatly diminished."
"..."
An Qinghuan said pointedly, "Miss Hai, you lack respect for words."
The sea maiden knew there was a hidden meaning in those words; they were clearly mocking her.
"You're nitpicking, you're doing this on purpose."
When the assistant came in, Miss Hai's face was extremely gloomy, and even her voice was much deeper.
An Qinghuan laughed immediately: "...It's been more than half a month, and you're only just realizing it?"
She did it on purpose!
Seeing Hai's exasperated expression, An Qinghuan almost died laughing.
"Miss Hai, this is a newly revised... Hai... what are you doing!"
Just as the assistant was about to hand her the revised manuscript, Hai grabbed it and tore it to shreds on the spot.
"What's there to change! They never even wanted our storybooks published!"
The sea maiden has seen through it all.
She warned coldly, "...Are you really not afraid of offending the Qintian Mansion?"
An Qinghuan said with a smile, "What are you saying, Miss Hai? Don't the major sects not interfere in worldly affairs? The Hundred Women Pavilion is discussing business with you and Young Master Zheng Xiaosha. What does it have to do with the Qin Tian Mansion?"
"..." Knowing she couldn't say anything more, Miss Hai left with a cold face.
Before leaving, he even threatened, "You just wait!"
An Qinghuan wasn't worried at all, and waved her hand in response with a rather smug look.
After they left, An Qinghuan spat and said, "Trying to make money using the name of the Hundred Women's Pavilion... What a bunch of idiots!"
Miss Hai stormed out of the door, taking her people with her. The people from the Hundred Women's Pavilion didn't like them anyway, and didn't even glance at them.
As soon as they left, Dong'er rushed over to An Zhengzheng.
"Girl, they left in a huff."
An Zhengzheng's hands never stopped picking out materials for alchemy. She lowered her head and instructed her, "Have Madam Pei distribute the next issue of the magazine today."
Anyway, everything is ready.
"Early? Isn't our magazine usually distributed at the beginning of the month? It's only the middle of the month!" Dong'er was very confused.
An Qinghuan entered the room and said, "Let's listen to Sister Zhengzheng, after all, this is a special edition."
She felt very pleased that Hai Girl and the others had left in anger today.
Dong'er left in a daze, and An Qinghuan then said to An Zhengzheng, "Luckily, you added a sentence at the time, that it can only be released after it has been approved by the Hundred Women's Pavilion."
"You have no idea, I've been facing them every day for the past two weeks, and I'm almost driven crazy by it."
An Zhengzheng laughed: "So annoying? Aren't you happy at all?"
"...There are still some."
An Qinghuan chuckled. Zheng Xiaosha came for the first few days, but after making too many revisions, she got angry and left on the spot.
They're all bad!
"Hopefully, this issue of our magazine can withstand their retaliation..."
After all, they had collected a lot of things privately.
An Zhengzheng smiled faintly and said, "Definitely."
She then asked An Qinghuan, "These past few days you've been constantly reading the manuscripts and watching them revise them. Have you learned anything from it?"
An Zhengzheng naturally had other considerations when he asked An Qinghuan to review the storybook.
For example, let An Qinghuan learn the expression style, perspective, writing rhythm, and word usage norms of storytelling.
These were all manuscripts by experienced storytellers, so An Qinghuan naturally benefited greatly from them.
She said, "I'm very critical, and sometimes they explain things to me, which I can understand."
Anyway, she has a plan and can revise the manuscript properly.
An Zhengzheng didn't say anything more.
\/\/
Hai-guniang was already crying her heart out in front of Zheng Xiaosha.
"It was intentional, they clearly did it on purpose!"
Her head throbbed at the thought of An Qinghuan's smug expression: "They're holding back that line... Stories can only be published after being approved by the Hundred Women's Pavilion! Are they going to keep holding back forever, and we'll never be able to publish them?"
So why did you agree to write that sentence for An Zhengzheng in the first place?
After listening to the whole thing, Zheng Xiaosha's expression turned very ugly: "They're dreaming!"
The talisman cultivators have already printed so many storybooks, and even the basic pages have been completed. Deleting them now would be extremely costly.
The talisman cultivators need to expend a lot of spiritual energy and mental strength to create book pages and print text.
Just as Zheng Xiaosha and Miss Hai were plotting how to use public opinion to fight back, the assistant rushed in very nervously.
