I write novels in Liyue

Liyue Harbor was bustling with activity at this time.

The two volumes of "Journey to the West" caused a great stir in the literary world of Liyue.

Inside the teahouse.

"My Lord Rock King, Fang Qiu is truly a genius! I never imagined that I would be able to read two such masterpieces within a year. As the saying goes, 'If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening.' I have no regrets in this life..."

An elderly man with white hair, who looked very learned, held "Journey to the West" in his hands, tears streaming down his face, his hands trembling.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening... My goodness, sir, you are truly a genius! Hearing this sentence has shocked me no less than reading 'Journey to the West'..."

A middle-aged man nearby exclaimed in shock.

"That's true."

Beside him, Zhongli put down his book, looked at the old man, and nodded, his eyes full of agreement, acknowledging the middle-aged man's words.

"Mr. Zhongli thinks so too, right? I knew my feeling was right."

The middle-aged man sighed, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening... Only those who seek the Way can understand the profound meaning of these words."

"You two are too kind to me. I only heard this from an old woman with white hair; it is not my original saying."

The old man shook his head repeatedly, looking ashamed of the honor.

"A white-haired woman?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback.

What white-haired woman could possess such knowledge and insights?

He really wanted to see what kind of extraordinary woman she was.

"A white-haired woman..."

Zhong Li was slightly taken aback.

I thought of someone...

"Mr. Zhongli, do you have any leads?"

The middle-aged man asked.

"I was just a little distracted, don't worry about it."

Zhong Li shook his head.

"Well then, let's get back to the main topic. Mr. Zhongli, what are your thoughts on this book?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Upon hearing this, the many scholars gathered in the teahouse turned their attention to Zhongli.

As soon as they received the book today, they sent someone to Wangshengtang to invite Mr. Zhongli.

After all, Zhongli was quite famous in academic circles.

In order to invite Zhongli to the teahouse to participate in the book club, they even specially bought a funeral package from the Wangshengtang to bribe the head of the Wangshengtang.

It can be said that they paid a considerable price.

Just to hear Mr. Zhongli's insightful opinions.

"Since you have extended such a sincere invitation, I will offer my humble opinion as a starting point."

Zhongli took a sip of tea and said, "Fang Qiu's 'Journey to the West' is a wonderfully written story. It's a tale of gods and immortals, as well as a story of mortals. It teaches about life and cultivation. As the book says, 'To understand the workings of creation and the secrets of the universe, one must read Journey to the West.' Not only can different age groups draw different conclusions, but even each person's interpretation can lead to different insights. This is the book's profound and ingenious nature. Those in the imperial court can learn the importance of interpersonal relationships in officialdom and gain much from the book. Those pursuing their dreams can learn that perseverance is essential. The weary can learn that hard work is a test in life. Managers will learn a lot about management. In my opinion, one of the core concepts in the book is that the operation of all things in the universe must have its own laws..."

Zhongli spoke slowly and deliberately. After hearing Zhongli's summary of "Journey to the West", many people who had previously looked confused suddenly had a look of understanding in their eyes. They then began to think about the deeper meaning in Zhongli's words and the corresponding plot.

"I must say, Brother Zhongli's understanding of Fang Qiu's works is truly exceptional. His insight and comprehension are far beyond my own..."

An old man exclaimed in amazement as he watched Zhongli speak calmly and without the slightest nervousness.

"This Mr. Zhongli truly deserves to be called one of the most outstanding young talents in Liyue Harbor. It's just a pity that he knows too little about the history of Liyue, especially about the Emperor. Not only can he not recite many historical anecdotes, but he also often talks nonsense..."

A middle-aged man nearby said.

"That's true. Hanxue and Yixuan mentioned him to me last time. They have some unorthodox interpretations of many of Prince Yan's deeds... They even said that the world's first Mora was simply wasted by Prince Yan..."

"It's alright, it's alright. He's just young and impetuous. When he gets older, he'll naturally understand the weight of Liyue's thousands of years of history that the Rock Lord carries on his shoulders. Take writing books, for example. As long as you incorporate historical events, the overall plot will become more moving."

"That's true. He's still young. We can give him more opportunities. In time, he will surely understand the greatness of the Emperor."

“Now that you mention it, it makes sense. After all, according to my daughter, before the Emperor passed away, Yuheng Star thought that the Emperor couldn’t possibly know everything, and that an immortal like the Emperor couldn’t possibly understand us mortals. But later, when she came to power herself, she realized the Emperor’s hardships and greatness. My daughter even saw Yuheng Star secretly spending a lot of money to buy a jade carving of the Emperor.”

"This is the process of questioning the emperor, understanding the emperor, and learning from the emperor. Many people go through this process."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. They had high hopes for Zhongli, this talented young man, believing that given time, he would surely become famous throughout Liyue. Even if he didn't become one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, he would at least leave a significant mark on the literary world.

Zhongli spoke for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn before stopping, not because he had nothing more to say.

There are many aspects of "Journey to the West" that can be interpreted, but if you were to tell the whole story by yourself, it wouldn't be a book discussion session.

Therefore, he will leave the rest of his insights to others.

"Fang Qiu's writing is really good, and Mr. Zhong Li's lecture was also wonderful."

"This book feels like it could be recorded in literary history."

"It's more than just being recorded in literary history; it'll probably be in the top ten, no, the top five!"

When Zhongli sat down, everyone applauded and exclaimed in amazement. Then, a respected elder stood up and began to share his insights. They analyzed the structure of "Journey to the West" over and over again.

The more you analyze it, the more astonishing it becomes.

Who exactly is this Fang Qiu, that he could write such a masterpiece...?

……

At this time.

Fang Qiu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in front of the fireplace, happily eating cake.

Tingyu wanted to take a bite, but Fang Qiu blocked her with her hand.

"Kittens can't eat cake."

She stuck out her soft little tongue and gently licked the snow-white cake, then rolled some cream into her little mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on her pretty face.

Chapter 673 The Daily Life of the Overseer

"That's great, the cake tastes really good."

Fang Qiu stuck out her tongue, licked the cream from the corner of her mouth, and then put it into her mouth.

Then he picked up the exquisite porcelain teacup beside him and took a sip of black tea.

Sweet with a slightly astringent taste.

After a busy day, I sit on the sofa in front of the fireplace, petting my cat.

Another cake and a cup of black tea, please.

This is life.

"what about the taste?"

The True Lord Liuyun Borrows the Wind asked a question.

"It was delicious. I felt much more energetic after eating it."

Fang Qiu smiled faintly and replied.

This is not a compliment.

The black tea made by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun tastes really good; it has a kind of... well... how to say it, industrial beauty.

The entire process of cooking is done by a purely mechanical cooking machine, from ingredient selection to processing and final product, without any human intervention.

It can only be said that sometimes, we shouldn't be too superstitious about handmade products.

Not to mention the absurdity of hand-crafting lithography machines and chips.

For example, there were those sushi masters, tempura masters, rice-cooking masters, and so on in a certain country in a past life.

Use the most primitive cooking methods.

In reality, the taste might not even be as good as food made with industrial cooking tools.

Of course……

There are indeed immortals in Liyue, and if there really are immortals who cook with immortal power, then it's incomparable...

Powerful beings like the Rock King, the Thunder General, the Wind God, and the Grass God of Sumeru might be able to make food more delicious simply by using their immortal power.

Fang Qiu thought to herself, then turned to look at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, who was elegantly drinking tea on the sofa beside her.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun wore red glasses and had his hair in a high ponytail, giving him an intellectual and stern beauty.

very nice.

However, Fang Qiu still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Feeling refreshed now? Then keep writing."

Seeing Fang Qiu staring at him intently, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said in a low voice.

"Uh……"

Fang Qiu's smile froze, and she quickly said, "Um, I suddenly feel a bit drowsy, I'm not feeling so good..."

She originally wanted to slack off.

As a result, I was forced by the True Lord Liuyun to write for a whole day...

I didn't even have a chance to take a nap...

"Stop pretending. I added something to your cake and black tea. You couldn't possibly be sleepy."

"The True Lord of Liuyun Borrowing the Wind said in a calm voice."

"This……"

Fang Qiu felt like she had been tricked.

She was just feeling a bit tired and was preparing to call it quits and fight another day when Lord Liuyun Jiefeng walked in carrying red tea and cake.

She initially thought it was True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng showing concern for her exhaustion by offering her tea and refreshments, but she never expected...
