Chapter 304: Clash of Masters
Wu Erbai pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and showed a gentle and easy-going smile.
"How could that be? Our family is very open-minded. From the very beginning, we've supported Xiao Xie in starting his own business. Now this Wushanju is allocated to this child, letting him do whatever he wants. I just didn't expect him to choose the path of writing."
Wuxie, who had been living on the living expenses given by his second uncle, had the smile on his face frozen when he heard this.
Starting his own business... Well, my second uncle thinks too highly of him.
Next, Wei Ying, under Wu Erbai's slightly pressured gaze, asked a few harmless questions and then quickly switched to the book itself.
"Readers have analyzed that the protagonist's behavior in Mr. Wuxie's book is similar to tomb robbery, and that the protagonist can vaguely correspond to some real-life tomb robbery practices. Does Mr. Wuxie have anything to say about this?"
“Ah, this…”
Wuxie's stiff smile turned awkward. He tried to change the subject by laughing, but there was a hint of something he was trying to hide.
"Hahaha, my fellow book lovers are just overthinking it. I can't possibly go tomb raiding just to write a book... How is that possible?
We live in a society ruled by law now. I am a college student, a new generation of the motherland, born under the red flag and raised as a flower in New China. How could I know the law and then break it? Those are all the information I looked up on the Internet. There is everything on the Internet, really!
Actually, speaking of this, I would like to talk to you about the hidden emotional lines in the book. When I read the reviews, many book lovers also asked about this. "
"Oh~ Really? I don't believe it!"
Wei Ying smiled playfully at Wu Xie, then spoke like a devil.
"According to information revealed by some readers, the Wu family also had a connection to this area. Did Mr. Wuxie find this information from family records?"
The point that he was worried about was being grasped, and under the inquiring gaze of the reporter, cold sweat began to appear on Wu Xie's forehead.
Wu Erbai's foot hidden under the table stepped on Wuxie lightly. Wuxie subconsciously turned his head to look at Wu Erbai. Wu Erbai pretended to notice his gaze inadvertently, smiled lightly, and spoke slowly.
"We at Wujia started out as an antique business, so it's normal for us to have more information on this. When the museum in Beijing was first built a few years ago, we donated a lot of cultural relics and also handed all this information over to the country."
Wu Erbai's calm demeanor calmed Wei Ying, who was eager to dig out explosive information. She could get information from Wu Xie, but she couldn't afford to offend this guy.
A big boss like this who can be a financial sponsor can ban a little Karami like her with just one phone call.
Wuxie, feeling relieved, raised his teacup and took a sip of tea to cover up his slight misconduct. A wave of gratitude surged in his heart towards his second uncle.
As expected, his second uncle loved him the most. His parents didn't care about him, and his third uncle...
Haha~, what the hell is that?
That's such a rip-off, no one would want it if it was thrown on the street!
He didn't know why he was so close to his third uncle and afraid of his second uncle. Wu Xie frowned slightly and began to recall the past.
On the other side, Wu Erbai was still helping Wu Xie make amends.
"As for the protagonists in the book, their personalities and behaviors are also very particular."
Wu Erbai, who had interviewed Wu Xie about his book early on and had made targeted plans, was very confident about these issues and was more like the author of this book than Wu Xie.
At this moment, Wu Erbai felt his eyes were a little tired, so he raised his hand and adjusted his glasses.
Wuxie, who automatically put a filter on his second uncle, seemed to see his second uncle's glasses flash a dazzling white light for a moment under the light, and then returned to normal.
The white light at that moment seemed to symbolize wisdom...
Wuxie was thinking in a daze, and some inspiration flashed through his mind, and his hands were eager to type on the keyboard.
"It just so happens that I've also done an in-depth study of Xiao Xie's book. Xiao Xie, listen first and see if what I say, Second Uncle, is correct."
Wu Erbai gave Wu Xie a subtle wink, and then began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.
"This book appears to be a tomb-raiding novel disguised as a fantasy novel, but it is actually a patriotic anti-tomb-raiding novel."
As soon as the first sentence fell, Wuxie's eyes widened in surprise. Wu Erbai secretly stepped on him hard. He took a breath of cold air, then came to his senses in an instant and hurriedly cooperated.
"Hiss—Second Uncle, you really understand me! I didn't expect you could see through me even though I was hiding it so deeply."
Wu Erbai, who felt a little embarrassed by Wu Xie's insincere praise, cleared his throat and put on a mature and steady attitude before continuing.
“Each protagonist in the book represents a group.
First, there is Guan Gen, the core of the group and its military support. He represents the broadest masses of ordinary people. The people are the greatest strength. Just like the protagonist, whenever the country needs us, we should stand up...
Secondly, there is the mysterious young man who is a divine beast descending to the earth and has a wide information network and knowledge. He is a metaphor for official power. The official status in society is undoubtedly important, just like the divine beast young man is the leader who pulls the main plot line.
And this man who only takes action in desperate moments, like the officials in real life, is the people's strongest backing and most reliable arm...
Then there's the black-clad, venomous man with superpowers who's experienced a tragic life. He represents those individuals in society who, for various reasons, struggle and are not accepted. This can be seen from how he was initially targeted by the protagonists, and then gradually integrated into the group...
The book also features a wealthy and beautiful woman who represents the real capitalists. He is moved by the protagonist's righteousness and then decides to help the protagonist. This series of actions shows us that although people in this class prioritize profit, they also have patriotic feelings...
And then…”
Wu Erbai spoke incessantly, his words thick with official accents, and every word was full of positive energy, which made Wu Xie, who was listening nearby, almost stuck in his mind.
Huh? Was that what I was thinking when I wrote the book? How come I didn't know that?
Wuxie suspected that his second uncle had stolen his brain, but he had no evidence.
Obviously, obviously I am the author...
Wuxie felt lost and lost, his eyes were blank for a while, and then he was awakened by a sharp pain in his feet.
Coming back to her senses, she realized that Wu Erbai had already finished his final summary, so she cheered herself up, put a smile on her face, and clapped in agreement after he finished speaking, nodding sincerely.
"That's right! Second Uncle, that's exactly what I thought at the time. You're just like a worm in my stomach, uh..."
