Chapter 43

If all the women in your works took a cultural exam, would Huang Rong take first place?"

This question was quite novel and carried a sense of fun.

Once the question was asked, it immediately sparked a discussion in the audience.

"Yeah, the smartest in the world must be Huang Rong!"

"But if it's an exam, the result might not be certain, right?!"

"I also think Huang Rong is first!"

Ye Xuan on stage smiled slightly upon hearing this question.

"I dare not say Huang Rong would take first place."

Hearing this, the students in the audience were stunned.

Could there be someone smarter than Huang Rong in *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*?!

Just as everyone was puzzled, they heard Ye Xuan's calm voice.

"But I think Huang Rong would probably cheat."

As soon as the words were spoken, the students in the audience showed expressions of sudden realization.

Right, with Huang Rong's clever nature, how could she be the type to obediently take an exam?!

Ye Xuan not only cleverly answered the question, but Huang Rong's personality was also vividly brought to life!

The applause from the audience grew even louder! ===== CHAPTER 86 =====

After answering a few more students' questions, seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Xuan returned the microphone to the principal.

When the principal announced the successful conclusion of the opening ceremony, he was incredibly surprised to find that not a single student had left the auditorium!

Instead, they were scrambling to crowd toward the front of the stage!

"Master Ye, can you give me an autograph?"

"Mr. Ye Xuan, can I take a photo with you?!"

"I am your loyal fan, I followed you from *The Old Man and the Sea* to *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, I really like you so much..."

"I've been watching your works, when is your new book coming out?..."

The fanatical appearance of the students was a far cry from their initial rush to leave!

Just as the principal shook his head, lamenting that these students were the definition of fickle, he saw several female students walking toward him with paper and pens in excitement.

Were they looking for his autograph?!

That made sense!

Usually, these students never got to see him...

The principal's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously reached out his hands to take the paper and pen, ready to write a flamboyant signature on their notebooks.

Unexpectedly, the next moment he saw the girls walk past him without looking back, heading straight for Ye Xuan.

It seemed that unable to squeeze into the crowd, one of the girls had to step back a few paces, and only when she turned back did she notice the principal.

"Principal, you should go back and rest, don't get squeezed here..."

The smile on the principal's face froze instantly.

At this moment, he really wished his hearing wasn't so sharp.

Just listening to the first part of the sentence, it was clearly meant to be caring...

At this time, compared to the ignored principal, the students in front of Ye Xuan were endless.

Students kept coming forward for photos and autographs.

By the end, Ye Xuan felt his face was stiff from smiling and his hand was numb from signing.

So, was this the price of fame?!

In this lively atmosphere, Ye Xuan's trip to Peking University came to a successful end.

At the same time, the content of Ye Xuan's speech at Peking University had long been recorded by many students and uploaded to the internet.

It was originally a casual upload by a student, but the video carried tags like #YeXuan #PekingUniversity #NobelPrize.

The number of netizens watching it grew rapidly.

Once countless netizens finished watching the video, it was forwarded rapidly.

In just one night, the video's view count exceeded ten million, and two related entries directly hit the trending list on a certain platform.

[Ye Xuan's Peking University Speech, If the Youth are Strong, the Nation is Strong]

[Ye Xuan: It is not that I need the recognition of the Nobel Prize in Literature, but that the Nobel Prize in Literature needs my recognition!]

Countless netizens couldn't wait to leave comments.

"I'm shocked! If the youth are strong, the nation is strong; if Huaxia is strong, the Huaxia youth are even stronger; Huaxia is strong because the youth are strong!"

"I've really fallen into the Ye Xuan pit and can't get out! This is my tenth time watching, what should I do if I can't control myself from watching it an eleventh time?!"

"I wish to use the youth of our generation to defend the prosperous Huaxia!"

"Wherever my eyes reach, it is all Huaxia; the five stars shining are all my faith!"

"Ye Xuan's words are absolutely perfect! It's not that I need the recognition of the Nobel Prize in Literature, but that the Nobel Prize in Literature needs my recognition! Let the judges regret it!"

"This is the Huaxia people; Huaxia people can be knocked down, but they can never be defeated!"

……

That night, countless netizens watched Ye Xuan's video over and over again until they could no longer resist sleepiness, and then they fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, the article [Huaxia Literary Master—Ye Xuan: He doesn't need the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Prize needs him] landed on the front page of the Huaxia Daily!

For a moment, countless netizens were stunned.

This, this, this...

This was the Huaxia Daily, which had over a hundred million fans across the internet!

They actually wrote a special article to comment on Ye Xuan!

This was equivalent to receiving official recognition!

In the past, which of the big figures who could make it into the Huaxia Daily wasn't a leader or an outstanding representative in their respective fields?!

They were all people who had spent countless years and time serving the country and making huge contributions!

And, what kind of wording was this?!

A master!

There were probably no more than ten people in all of Huaxia who could be described with this word!

Especially in the literary world, the last person to be evaluated this way was Mr. Yu.

But look at Ye Xuan!

A young man only in his early twenties!

To receive such an honor at such a young age, what does this mean?!

It means Ye Xuan's future is simply limitless!

When netizens clicked into the article in a daze, they were even more dazed when they came out.

"He is the first Huaxia writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

He is also the only existence to refuse the Nobel Prize in Literature.

He does not need to be defined by the Nobel Prize in Literature..."

Were these flowery words, written as if they were free, really written by the Huaxia Daily?

The Huaxia Daily had always been aloof; how could they be so shameless in praising someone?!

For a time, netizens under this article began to joke around.

"Huaxia Daily, blink if you've been kidnapped?!"

"Is the site I clicked into really the Huaxia Daily?! Is it really not a marketing account's post?!"

"I suspect the editor of this article is Ye Xuan's head fan?! This is naked favoritism; is this how you praise your own son?!"

"I want to announce to the whole world, Ye Xuan is worth it!"

"Ye Xuan has so much status! Others only reach this achievement at fifty or sixty, he's only in his early twenties; are others supposed to live?!"

"I, I, I... realize again that I'm just here to make up the numbers in this world!" ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
