I write novels in Liyue

"You're right. I'm still looking forward to the second volume of 'Grand Blue,' and I don't know if it will be included in the Lantern Festival."

"Don't get your hopes up, no, that old thief has started a new project, and there are two of them. The standees over there have already written it."

"Holy crap, it really is! 'KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!' 'A Chinese Odyssey'... a Journey to the West fanfic?"

Besides the discussion about the editors, there was also discussion about the scholars and novel enthusiasts who represented them.

The scholars in particular, who were quite renowned in Liyue Harbor, caused a stir of tension among the authors waiting for the results and those attending the lecture.

"My goodness, I didn't expect even Old Bai to come."

"It's not just Elder Bai; those others are all scholars of Elder Bai's caliber. They can be considered the pinnacle of the literary world in Liyue Harbor."

"Oh no, my book was submitted for consideration, but it has absolutely no literary merit. I'm afraid it won't get a single point."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Master Chang, sitting in the back, clenched his fists and looked at the judges who had already taken their seats on the stage, his eyes filled with determination.

His name wasn't on the list of selected students this year; he was just there to attend the lectures.

However, he is determined to get his name on the list of nominees next year!

Not far from him, Su Xiaoqi and the girl with pigtails sat together, looking at the stage with expectant expressions.

Like most of the people present, they were waiting for Fang Qiu to take the stage.

Thus, the selection process began in earnest.

Each work is scored by judges, and the final rankings are based on the scores.

Soon, it was time to announce the rankings of the various awards. Without a doubt, Fang Qiu's work won first place in all the awards with an overwhelming advantage.

Next, the authors went on stage to receive their awards, from back to front.

The authors who received the awards were very excited. There were many readers in the audience, which was a great opportunity to promote their books.

When their favorite author took the stage, the readers erupted in an amazing cheer.

Meanwhile, backstage...

"How is it? Has Fang Qiu arrived?"

The editor-in-chief asked his editors, sounding somewhat anxious.

"not yet."

The female editor shook her head.

"Have you sent someone to her house to check? If all else fails, have Bai Qing accept the award on her behalf."

The editor-in-chief frowned and said in a deep voice.

She has delayed as much as possible.

She even added some extra content to her opening thank-you speech on the spot.

But Fang Qiu still hadn't arrived...

Although the person hasn't arrived, the program needs to continue.

"We sent someone, but there's still no news."

The female editor replied.

"Looks like I need to think about filing a record."

The editor-in-chief rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

I should have sent someone sooner...

Failed.

Hopefully, it won't be too late.

Inside the VIP room, Ying's eyes remained unmoved. She showed little interest in the awards ceremony on stage, instead turning her gaze to the green-hatted bard who was discussing changing the order of the queue.

As if sensing her gaze, Wendy stopped what she was doing, smiled back, and then continued to reason with the first-place winner, appealing to her emotions and persuading her to switch places with her.

"I'm really looking forward to Fang Qiu's appearance."

Naganohara Yomi was very excited and kept talking to Kamisato Ayaka, which made Hayato quite unhappy.

"Yes."

Ayaka Kamisato stared intently at the stage.

Meanwhile, Yae no Miko, who had reached an agreement with Xingqiu, returned to the VIP room, her eyes full of smiles.

"Why hasn't it been Miss Fang Qiu's turn yet? And where is Miss Xina?"

Araki Ichito looked around and his eyes met those of Goro, who was standing next to Sango Miyako in the distance.

Goro suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

For unknown reasons,

"Boss, don't rush, the Lantern Festival will last for many days."

Hisagi Shinobu, who was standing nearby, reminded him.

Not far away, Yura picked up Klee, who wanted to watch what was happening on the stage, and greeted Yanfei, who also happened to be attending the event.

Amber, who was next to her, also greeted Yanfei with a smile.

"It has finally begun, the concerto of destiny."

Fischl covered his eyes with his blindfold, his face full of excitement.

"I wonder if Miss Fang Qiu can win the championship."

Bennett, standing nearby, was also looking forward to it.

"Do you need any spoilers? I did a divination this morning."

Mona asked.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a little girl bumped into Bennett, spilling her milk all over him.

In the teahouse across the street, four immortals were drinking tea and discussing things.

"Liu Yun, why hasn't Fang Qiu arrived yet?"

"How would I know?"

As time went on, Fang Qiu's ranking improved, and after the announcement of a series of top awards such as Best Author of the Year and Best Work of the Year, everyone waited for him to appear.

Many people already have their tomatoes ready.

However, seeing that Fang Qiu was not present, Bai Qing couldn't help but sigh. Just as she was about to get up from the judges' table to accept the award on Fang Qiu's behalf, a voice rang out.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Everyone turned to look at the sound.

But they discovered that it wasn't just one person who came, but a group of people.

A group of girls walked briskly through the crowd, startling the novel enthusiasts.

what's the situation?

Why are there so many people?

"Could it be... that Fang Qiu isn't alone?"

"Not human? Then what is it?"

"Which of these people is Fang Qiu?"

Many people have raised questions.

Finally, when a white-haired woman slowly walked onto the stage in everyone's sight, the entire audience fell silent.

is her.

She really is a white-haired beauty!

Chapter 693 There will never be another person like this in the world.

The scene was eerily quiet.

While panting heavily, Fang Qiu took the device that resembled a megaphone handed to him by the host.

She had run as fast as she could.

However, despite undergoing the grueling training of True Lord Liuyun, her speed was on a completely different level from others.

Only Dina Zede and Laiira were about as fast as her.

Luckily, we made it in time.

Otherwise, there could be huge trouble.

Fang Qiu took a deep breath, calmed his breathing, glanced at the crowd below the stage, and then said:

"Um... Hello everyone, I'm Fang Qiu. I'm sorry I'm late, I'm very sorry."

Quiet.

It remained quiet.

The girl on the stage had a slightly flushed face, her red lips parted slightly, her white hair fluttered in the wind, and her smile carried the scent of rosemary.

As elegant as a cat.

The audience stared wide-eyed, and after a long while, a burst of noisy discussion finally broke out.

"She really is a white-haired beauty! My goodness..."

"As the saying goes, one glance can topple a city, a second glance can topple a nation, this is exactly what it means."

"I originally thought that what those people said about the white-haired beauty was just an exaggeration. How could there be such a good thing as being both beautiful and talented? At most, she would just be an ordinary-looking woman. I never expected her to be so stunningly beautiful."

"It's over. My heart, which was set on becoming an immortal, has been shattered. No wonder there's a saying that people only envy the lovebirds, not the immortals... With such a beautiful woman by my side, how could I possibly envy the immortals..."

Is this love?

"You love your mother selling fried dough twists, but look at your appearance, do you even deserve it?"

"You're getting impatient, just because Miss Fang Qiu looked at me but not you! Don't be impatient, you'll have plenty of time to be impatient later."
