I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 273: An Emphatic Reply!

Y had always attracted much attention, so the sudden appearance of another Y on Weibo stunned many people.

[F*CK! Is Y actually registered on Weibo? Celestial Bane’s author? Is this real or fake?]

[F*ck man! He responded! The author of Celestial Bane responded!]

People in this world may slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, look down on me, deceive me, and lie to me. How shall I deal with it?

As long as I am patient with him, let him be, avoid him, leave him alone, bear with him, respect him, and ignore him. Behold him in a few years’ time!

Those two sentences were nothing short of profound. They referred directly to the human psyche, and at the same time, they also reflected Ye Lingchen’s nonchalance and self-confidence.

Almost immediately, that sentence shot up to first place on Weibo’s trending searches. Those curses even stopped momentarily once they saw that sentence.

The first verse seemed to tell of Ye Lingchen’s sadness and confusion at that time.

Faced with a situation various parties were insulting him, he seemed to be asking himself what he ought to do. At the same time, he also appeared to be asking everyone what his next move should be at that point in time.

However, the next verse seemed to show his open-mindedness. He replied to the question by saying, ‘As long as I am patient with him, let him be, avoid him, leave him be, bear with him, respect him, and ignore him. Behold him in a few years’ time!’

Everyone inhaled sharply. In that short moment of time, those who bullied him felt the blood surge straight to their brains.

It was too irreproachable and domineering!

[F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Is this poetry? Why do I feel like it’s poetry?]

[I feel the same way as you above me! Why do I feel like Y could say any two sentences and it could become a poem!]

[I just read the poems of those so-called poets. It was a load of dogsh*t, but Y only needs to say a couple of sentences to create a poem!]

[Good poem, such a good poem! Respect! Respect!]

[Simply amazing. When I saw those two sentences, I felt like I had an awakening and can conquer everything!]

[Yeah, look at him! That group of people is just a group of clowns who jump on the bus. How long are they gonna keep at it?]

...

What was the power of literature?

That was the power of literature!

Compared to those so-called writers who banded together to sway public opinion, Ye Lingchen used his own creation to make a direct attack!

The power of literature was showing its influence at that moment—anyone who read it would be instantly captivated and would find themselves inevitably immersed in it.

In an instant, countless people were screaming as though they were on steroids. The support for Celestial Bane overwhelmed everything, while those who made a ruckus earlier remained silent.

They were also shocked.

[It’s too insightful. It’s worthy of being labeled a creation by Capital University’s talented student. Eloquent and articulate—that is the kind of talent our country needs!]

[To be fair, these two self-answered questions deserve to be included within the ranks of poetry. It is an alternative kind of poem, one that carries the philosophy of life.]

[Yeah, after reading these two sentences from Y, I suddenly feel more open-hearted. The gloominess that I felt after being ridiculed by those vile people has now been swept away.]

[Classic, another classic! Y doesn’t only have great talent, but also great wisdom and a great heart!]

[Hahaha, why aren’t those people scolding anymore? Feeling embarrassed? Do you see it now? Y thinks that it’s beneath him to be scolding you!]

Subsequently, a fan who was the head of the Celestial Bane fan group posted a comment. [Dear parents, I know you care about your children’s studies, but literature is spoken out of the conscience of one’s heart. It does not discriminate the rich from the poor. Celestial Bane is, without a doubt, a good piece of work. At the very least, it will never be the scourge to young people that all of you speak of. If you are skeptical, feel free to read the writings of those so-called classic writers, then compare it with Celestial Bane. Then come back and comment. Don’t be influenced by some people!]

[Upstairs, you could not have said it better!]

[Good! That group of people said that reading Celestial Bane is a waste of time. Are they saying that it’s not a waste of time to read their works? Their works are all a joke. They’re a waste of time and they surely did waste five minutes my time!]

[That group is just jealous that someone else’s achievements are better and more profitable than theirs. Our eyes can see clearly, and works that everyone likes are good creations!]

Ye Lingchen’s two verses were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It brought back the flame war that was already beginning to hit the back foot which motivated the fans even more.

At that exact moment, Huang Lihua—Vice-Chairman of Capital’s Writers Association—could not bear it anymore and stepped forward. [I, as the vice-chairman of Capital’s Writers Association, will not allow distortion of our country’s literature! We have been in the literature world for decades and have a deeper understanding of literature. Does any of you understand literature more than us?]

The head of the Celestial Bane fan group stood up again, [Then tell us right now. What is literature? Hehe, are you saying that you have the final say on what is and what isn’t literature? What right do you have? Are literary works mere playthings for people like you to amuse yourselves with while disallowing ordinary people like us to read them? Literary works are for everyone to read! Anything that resonates with the masses and makes us invested in it is good literature!]

[You said it! Literary works that are accepted and acknowledged by everyone are good!]

Many parents chose to be silent because their bias had led them to be easily swayed.

In fact, those parents were once teens too. Back then, they also hid under their blankets to follow up with Wuxia novels. As a result, they had profound feelings over it.

Later, those who wrote Wuxia novels have become recognized as great writers and their works became classics. Present online novels were almost the same as Wuxia novels back in the day.

In addition, some even began paying more attention to Celestial Bane. Anyone who read it would certainly delve wholly into it.

[Author, I was wrong. I just scolded you because I was swayed by the others. I sincerely apologize to you. Celestial Bane is good.]

[For you to write such a good poem and say such things with reason, I trust that your writing isn’t tasteless! I apologize too.]

[F*ck, I just followed the call for you to put away your pen. I was possessed. Celestial Bane is really good, please continue to update it...]

The plot reversal was faster than everyone expected and those traditional writers could only cease-fire reluctantly.

However, there was no shortage of people who remained stubborn and began scolding like nobody’s business.

[What the hell? I strongly insist on banning this author!]

[It’s reached this point already, but there are still people defending Celestial Bane. What a bunch of stupid p*ssies!]

[Why is this book so popular when its contents are all written like rubbish?]

For those people, the response of those fans was rude and crass, so in light of the unreasonableness, why not just continue scolding until kingdom come!

[Brothers, let me kill him and spare not a piece of his armor!]

[The scolding skills I learned from Y can finally come in handy!]

[Your mother is calling you home for dinner!]

[A fetus like you has grown so big already?]

...

Ring ding ding!

The bell rang to signal the end of class.

With Wan Yun declaring that class was over, many students took out their phones and were anxious to see Celestial Bane’s latest progress on Weibo...
