Chapter 55: Yang Mi: Ye Xuan, I

"What?! The man who refused the Nobel Prize has released another book?!"

"Ye Xuan's books are absolutely a blind buy!"

"Doesn't this guy's inspiration ever run dry? It hasn't been long since the last two, right?..."

"Which of those great writers doesn't spend ten years writing a masterpiece?! Why is this guy so fast?!"

"Was he awakened by the sound of my clapper-beating?!"

Just as the comments were flowing, a creaking sound of the door being pushed open came from the entrance.

Yang Mi looked up and saw Ye Xuan entering with an enamel mug.

Seeing Ye Xuan's confused expression, Yang Mi explained first.

"I came to tell you about the situation with selling the piglets..."

Yang Mi had originally prepared her wording on the way, but now she brushed over the pig-selling situation in just a few words.

Not for anything else, but because there was something more important in front of her!

That was Ye Xuan's new book!

Thinking that the new book was right in front of her, Yang Mi's bright, watery eyes lit up.

Unable to wait, she pointed at the new book on the computer and asked with expectation in her eyes.

"Ye Xuan, this is your new book, right?"

Seeing Ye Xuan nod, Yang Mi's mouth curved, her tone filled with expectation and excitement.

It was as if the idol she had admired for years was standing in front of her, and she was more like a little fan girl waiting eagerly for her idol to sign an autograph.

"Then, can I take a look?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan didn't intend to refuse.

According to his original plan, he intended to write and update *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* simultaneously.

Now that he had finished the first five chapters, why not let Yang Mi take a look?!

Seeing Ye Xuan nod in agreement, a flash of excitement appeared in Yang Mi's eyes!

This was the new book of Nobel Prize winner Ye Xuan!

She never expected that she would be lucky enough to be the first reader?!

Taking a deep breath and suppressing her excitement, Yang Mi sat at the computer desk and focused her attention on the computer in front of her.

At this moment, the opening of the novel immediately came into view.

"The Qiantang River's vast waters, day and night, flowed endlessly past Niujia Village in Lin'an, flowing east into the sea."

Hmm...

For some reason, the moment her gaze touched these words, Yang Mi's heart slowly calmed down.

With words like "vast waters," "day and night," and "endlessly," it was as if the wheels of history were rolling forward, instantly capturing Yang Mi's attention.

At this moment, Yang Mi was reading very, very slowly.

She hadn't read a book at such a slow pace in a long time.

The 365-day non-stop work in the entertainment industry had long left Yang Mi with very little rest time.

High-intensity filming tasks and the pressure of memorizing lines had made her develop a reading speed of ten lines at a glance.

However, at this very moment, ten minutes had already passed.

She had only finished the first chapter.

"Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin?!"

Muttering to herself, Yang Mi's thoughts had long been rising and falling with the story.

The Jin army moved south, the Central Plains sank, the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

The Southern Song and Jin Dynasties stood side by side, divided by the Yangtze River.

In troubled times, the imperial court was corrupt and rotten, while chivalrous heroes emerged one after another among the people.

Qiu Chuji, a Taoist of the Quanzhen Sect, assassinated a traitor and happened to meet two loyal descendants, Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin.

Learning that both their wives were pregnant, Qiu Chuji even gave names to the two unborn children: Guo Jing and Yang Kang.

But who knew that disaster would strike from the sky? Traitorous officials chased Qiu Chuji to this place, and the Guo and Yang families were ruined in the blink of an eye!

Seeing this, Yang Mi bit her lower lip hard, and anger stained her eyes.

As descendants of loyalty, why should they suffer the ruin of their families and the separation of their wives and children?!

While the traitorous officials could hold power, live in luxury, and dominate?!

The contrast outlined by the superb brushwork was like unfolding a scroll of the Jin people's brutal looting and the Han people's displacement...

Yang Mi felt her breathing accelerate, and even her chest rose and fell.

Until the Taoist Qiu Chuji appeared again...

Through a series of misunderstandings, Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of the South became acquainted through a fight.

They even made a bet to find the descendants of the Yang and Guo families respectively and teach them martial arts.

Eighteen years later, they would compete at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to avenge their fathers!

Seeing this, Yang Mi felt her breath almost freeze.

Could Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of the South find the descendants of Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin?!

They should be able to, right?!

Her mind was filled with the plot of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*. Yang Mi stared fixedly at the screen, sighing as the story rose and fell.

When she scrolled down and saw the Seven Freaks of the South finding Guo Jing, Yang Mi gripped the mouse even tighter.

It's good that they found him...

Continuing to read, she saw the Seven Freaks of the South thinking Guo Jing was mediocre. They originally wanted to test his courage, but never expected Guo Jing to run into the Black Wind Pair. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
