Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 296 How Will You Choose?

"Sister Zhu, why don't you lay low for a while...?"

Xu San'er said with a hint of helplessness.

Now, Zhu Wuyao is talked about wherever she goes.

Although the rumors surrounding that sword have circulated, and his reputation is now mixed, some of the things he said are truly infuriating.

the most important is--

Zhu Wuyao's sword strikes weren't entirely successful; he wasn't always absolutely certain of success, and the controversy might intensify later.

Sometimes Xu San'er wondered if Zhu Wuyao hadn't returned to Zhaixing Tower and had continued his travels instead, perhaps he wouldn't have faced such criticism.

Zhu Wuyao, however, did not think so.

She shook her head and said with a very positive attitude:

"Having already suffered so much humiliation, if we cower and avoid people and fail to fight for some benefits, then we will be letting ourselves down."

In "Ten Thousand Book Reviews," the narrators write objectively.

Zhu Wuyao also glanced at it, focusing on the article by Wuyuzi and Xiaodingdang.

"Wu Yu Zi Yan: That Xiao Ding Dang is clearly a fame-seeker. The themes of monsters and rebirth are similar to the stories he writes; he's utterly shameless!"

An anonymous person said: "I look down on Wuyuzi, and I also look down on that damned Xiaodingdang. Both of them are just riding on the coattails of Senior Wuyuzi. This farce is nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black, only adding to the laughter!"

"Ink Trace Bookstore says: This Doraemon story is just so good, anyone who can do it should do it, absolutely no changes!"

"Upon hearing this, an uproar erupted outside the Ink Trace Bookstore. The crowd erupted in a torrent of opinions, a mixture of angry curses and mockery, disdain and contempt. According to the scribe, this was utterly insane!"

"Mohen Young Master's Postscript: 'Rebirth of the Fake Heiress: Taming Beasts to Become King' has a novel theme and is definitely not plagiarized. I see you all have nothing better to do. When Wuyu first appeared, she was already controversial, but now she's become an unassailable authority. You'd better not be from the same group!"

"Upon hearing this, someone threw an egg at him."

Someone shouted—"Bullshit!"

"To find out what happens next, please read the next issue of 'Ten Thousand Books Review,' where the reporter will continue to follow this story and write for readers."

Gu Lang, you are really... amazing!

The clever part of this article is that it seems to portray Mohen Bookstore as the villain, thus allowing the author to separate the stance of Wan Juan Book Review.

This has caused it to no longer be seen as a mouthpiece for Ink Trace Bookstore in the public's mind.

No matter who you're facing, speak the truth and be impartial.

For this, Gu Lang actually let himself get hit with an egg.

Using this incident as the starting point for the transformation of Wan Juan Book Review is very appropriate, because it is not only related to the vernacular stories of Mohen Bookshop, but also to the conflicts between the writers.

The fellow students around him did not feel uncomfortable with this "writing style" appearing in Wan Juan Book Review; in fact, they accepted it very smoothly.

It satisfied everyone's regret of not being able to watch the show live.

Upon seeing the article, Xu San'er's eyes immediately lit up, and he pointed at it, saying:

"Sister Zhu, that's amazing!"

Of course it's awesome.

But then, Xu San'er shook his head with some regret and said:

"Unfortunately, this is not something that a few people can accomplish. Only a bookstore like Mohen Bookstore, which has powerful backing, can support this operation."

You really know your stuff.

Zhu Wuyao sighed inwardly.

The mountains are lush and green, dotted with countless blossoms scattered by the spring breeze.

The elder who came to give the lecture, though oblivious to what was going on outside, had some knowledge of the recent discussions about "Zhu Wuyao" that were circulating everywhere.

Although it had been more than a decade since I last saw Zhu Wuyao.

But the elder who gave the lecture still recognized her.

She stood before them, holding a scroll, but today she didn't begin by discussing the contents of the book. Instead, she spoke with a pointed tone:

"Though fate may decree that one should not strive for more than one tenth of one's potential."

"But as a divination practitioner, if one wants to, one can always find a way to force or demand it."

"However, those who follow the will of Heaven are mediocre and ineffective, while those who strongly defy the will of Heaven are often biased and greedy."

"What will you all choose then?"

There weren't many disciples in the teaching hall, only a dozen or so. Upon hearing this argument, their gazes involuntarily turned to the person at the very back.

The focus of everyone's attention was on Zhu Wuyao.

If your destiny is eight parts, don't strive for ten...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Before coming to the teaching hall, she had wanted to visit Master Fang.

Zhu Wuyao wanted to ask if there was any way to resolve the connection between her and Shen Xun's fate.

If there were a solution, and provided that he could contend with Shen Xun and save his own life, Zhu Wuyao would really have no intention of forcibly taking over someone else's luck.

Moreover, she always secretly wondered if the bad luck she encountered was also related to Shen Xun.

Otherwise, why can't we ever find them?

If this is the inevitable path for some chosen one, then she's not happy about it.

As everyone knows, the chosen ones have one striking characteristic—their teammates are sacrificed.

But to her surprise, she was turned away.

Zhu Wuyao once thought she was special. When she first came to this world, she thought the sky was high and the sea was wide, and she could have everything.

Before even embarking on the path to immortality, he was already bound by a wooden plaque, gifted a sword by the sect leader, asked questions under the moon, and fortunate enough to befriend an exile. He even witnessed a sword immortal spilling wine... All these extraordinary events proved his extraordinary nature.

You can return to the Star-Picking Tower.

Shen Xun's rise to power and the reactions of others made her realize that perhaps she had mistaken him for someone else due to the opportunities she had encountered along the way.

They mistook fish wood for pearls.

Once the truth and falsehood were discerned, everything began to return to its proper place, as if telling her that she had already received enough and that this was the end of it.

Zhu Wuyao had obviously seen that Zhaixinglou was letting her fight with Shen Xun.

Perhaps she has become the one who has been abandoned, but she is still smug and thinks she is extraordinary, including Shen Anzhi and Gu Yiguan, who have such an aloof attitude.

Perhaps, no one is betting on her at all.

Perhaps, she has already been abandoned.

The voice of the elder who taught me still echoes in my ears.

If your destiny is eight parts, don't strive for ten.

Those who follow the will of Heaven are mediocre and ineffective, while those who go against Heaven are extreme and greedy.

She lowered her eyebrows slightly, then quickly looked up ahead. Under the speculative gazes of the crowd, Zhu Wuyao did not disappoint those who looked at her with disdain and sighs.

He rose and bowed deeply to the elder who had imparted his knowledge, his voice calm and composed in response:

"Be the one who never looks back."

Having witnessed the world's most magnificent scenery, how could one be content to stop here?

The calm and resolute reply echoed in everyone's ears, reverberating through the silent teaching hall, lingering and reverberating through several days and nights, until it met Shen Xun's words—

Why shouldn't I fight for it?

Through countless twists of fate and intertwined causes and effects, the two people, who had become enemies through coincidences and made one wrong step after another, finally met with each other when there was no turning back.

She is not a greedy person, and she is not bothered by the cold looks of others.

Perhaps Zhaixinglou chose Shen Xun, but it makes no sense for her to surrender and admit defeat.
