The whole group fell silent once that sentence popped up. Finally, someone appeared and asked, [Little Yuan, what do you mean by 'defected'?]

[Huo Yuanjia is an amazing movie. I really can't find anything negative about it,] Little Yuan replied.

[Oh f*ck! It can't be! You've become a traitor after watching Huo Yuanjia?]

[It's really good. I recommend it.]

[No! Traitor!]

[Actually...I watched it too. Huo Yuanjia is a good movie...] Suddenly, another person came out in agreement.

[It's a virtuous production. The fights and plot are very good. I like the character settings too. I realize it's much better than I am Hero...]

[All of you... This ...]

[I won't be shaken! I will always support my Hanhan!]

The class group used to comprise of Wu Han's diehard fans, but it had separated into two factions and began arguing.

[Class president, time to kick these people out!]

Finally, someone could not help saying, [@Class President, Kick out these fake Hanhan fans!]

The admin of the group was none other than the class president and was also a keen supporter of Wu Han. They hated it when traitors appear, so at that point, it was time to clean up the house!

However, the class president did not respond even though she was usually online.

Ten minutes later. She sent a tardy message, [I'm watching Huo Yuanjia now. Objectively speaking, it's really good.]

[Class president, why have you betrayed us?!] someone exclaimed incredulously.

The class president did not respond but sent a short video in the group. The video was very dim, and at first glance, everyone knew that it was shot from the cinema. It was probably a short clip of Huo Yuanjia.

That short segment was only one of many incredible martial arts scenes. Sweat, mixed in with blood, drizzled through the air. Strong muscles and powerful fists stimulated the human senses, enabling them to truly experience the essence of a martial arts film.

With the posting of that video, those who shouted traitors before were quiet.

Although the scenes in the movie were not as picturesque as Wu Han's, by comparison, Huo Yuanjia resembled a martial arts movie much more.

[I also support Huo Yuanjia. I went because I wanted to find its flaws, but who knew I would actually cry after watching it...]

[I'm crying, it's really touching ...]

[I feel proud of this kind of celebrity. They're full of passion.]

[I'm surprised to see those fights. It felt like martial arts, you know. The highly-skilled kind.]

[Yeah, it's Y after all. He has real skills!]

[All of a sudden, I feel that this kind of man is the most handsome.]

...

The Wu Han diehard fans class group soon became lively, but it was completely preoccupied with Huo Yuanjia. They discussed Huo Yuanjia's plot and everyone was excited.

Those who chanted traitors were all stupefied. For a moment, they even thought that they were in the wrong group. Did they get lost somewhere? How could the personality of those around them change so drastically?

Such a phenomenon was not unusual. It happened in many places.

There was absolutely nothing negative about Huo Yuanjia and anyone who watched it would realize its ability to sway audiences. Even Wu Han's diehard fans were beginning to fall under its spell.

Ye Lingchen paid no attention to those things. At that point, he had returned to 1 Hill Spring Residence.

Sure enough, when Zhang Yunxi saw that Little Green and Little Gray were carrying injuries on their bodies, she nearly burst into tears from distress. She immediately went and applied some medication on the two wolves.

Ye Lingchen headed upstairs to prepare the novel update and live stream.

Due to his desire to destroy Huyu, he planned to speed up the progress of Candle Blowing Ghost, having already told more than half the content. At the same time, the comics for Grave Robber's Chronicles had yet to be published, but more than half of the Candle Blowing Ghost comics had been drawn and would likely be available soon.

Although Ye Lingchen had previously inflicted a huge loss on Huyu, he did not plan to stop just yet.

Moreover, during that period of time, Huyu Streaming had been trying to stir up trouble with Panda Streaming, such as deliberately exposing Panda Streaming's negative side or attempting to dig up dirt on Panda Streaming's people. In short, Huyu was coming up with countless ways to draw in Panda's popularity to themselves.

The operations of a live stream platform included public relations, such as trending searches, news, or advertising. It was necessary to establish a good image of the platform, and in doing so, Song Qian was tasked with plotting against Huyu Streaming.

In the past, Panda Streaming's funds were insufficient because they were just starting up. Therefore, they were temporarily only able to avoid going over the edge, all while maintaining day-to-day operations.

Nevertheless, Ye Lingchen's funds had surged by more than RMB500,000,000 ever since Ye Lingchen took a trip to Las Vegas.

Next, Ye Lingchen uploaded Celestial Bane's chapters and prepared to hit the sack.

Beep, beep, beep!

His QQ beeped just in time.

Yogurt: [Is I am Y there? I just saw you finish the chapter update.]

[Here.] Ye Lingchen replied. He was surprised that his editor paid so much attention to his movements.

[It's about those comments on the Internet. I hope you don't take it to heart. It's best not to respond, just feign ignorance,] Yogurt said directly.

[What's going on?] Ye Lingchen was a little confused. He had no idea about any of that. After a pause, he asked, [Does this issue have anything to do with those traditional writers?]

[Well,] Yogurt continued, [traditional writers are very radical on this issue. Their words are a bit intense, but they are the predecessors of this industry after all. Traditional literature ranks higher than online literature, so it's better not to get into any conflict with them.]

In fact, their website was also feeling rather embarrassed and felt as though they did not do justice to Ye Lingchen. It was their original intention to use Celestial Bane to promote online literature, but it was met with unexpectedly strong opposition from those traditional writers.

[Relax, I know about that.]

[By the way, one of your fans is a professor from Capital University. He even helped you speak out. You'd better thank him.] Yogurt reminded.

A professor at Capital University?

Ye Lingchen was shocked. He was, in fact, a student at Capital University.

He found the original post after doing some searching. The post's popularity did not wane even after such a long time and there were two distinct periods of surges.

Ye Lingchen finally knew why Yogurt came to advise him. The criticism was too unpleasant, and when jealousies flared, they barked like rabid dogs.

He never paid attention to all that as he would have already long argued with them if he did.

The first surge in popularity was due to a comment by an old traditional writer, certified as a council member of the Traditional Writers Association. His status was a very special one as it was the highest among traditional writers. He was also quite elderly and belonged to the more highly-esteemed generation.

At the same time, he had also produced many works—including prose and poetry—and was one of the flagships of the literary world.

His comment on the post was a sentence. [The master wanders, but the clown stays in the hall. Online literature associates money with literature. This is considered a kind of vulgarity. As for this work, my honest opinion is that it has yet to reach the threshold of literature!] ...
