—Regarding Chu Xiaoxiao’s martial arts skills, He Yunxiao politely explained to Fan Ziruo, “Chu Xiaoxiao actually knows a little bit of martial arts, and is quite powerful. Ordinary people can’t beat her.”
As for Chu Xiaoxiao’s changing personality, He Yunxiao vividly explained, “She only likes Chu Fan and won’t give other people a good look, so she is like a different person once she leaves Chu Fan, do you understand?”
“Anyway, that’s how things are. I’m helping a little girl who knows martial arts to chase after her brother.”
He Yunxiao summed it up quite accurately, although he had cut out a lot of unnecessary details, such as the difference between “knowing a bit of martial arts” and “knowing a billion points of martial arts”, and the difference between the personalities of “Xiaoxiao” and “Chu Chu”. The existence of two personalities, ” Xiaoxiao” and “Chuchu”. There is also the clever inclusion of the phrase “helping her with bad women” in the phrase “helping her chase her brother”.
After hearing that she actually likes Chu Fan instead of He Yunxiao, Fan Ziruo, who didn’t like Chu Xiaoxiao very much, looks at her in a new light.
“Miss Xiaoxiao, daring to love and hate, is a good girl.”
He Yunxiao echoed, “That’s right. That’s right. When you see her again, don’t treat her like you always do. Don’t reveal yourself.”
Fan Ziruo said, “She dares to like her own brother and risk everything, such courage is something I should respect.”
He Yunxiao wiped a cold sweat from his forehead.
Damn it, you respecting her is the same as telling her “I know your secret”, you don’t want to live long enough?
“No, no, no. She’s a contentious person in her own right. The more you respect her, the more pressure you’re putting on her. Let’s just pretend we don’t see it and secretly help out a couple of times, so that the relationship will just work out. If Chu Xiaoxiao’s feelings are strong, but Chu Fan doesn’t like her, then Ziruo’s respect for her will be the final stone to hit Chu Xiaoxiao again.”
Hearing what He Yunxiao said, Fan Ziruo understood her mistake, so she stood up and paid her respects to He Yunxiao, “Thank you for reminding me, Young Master. Ziruo was inconsiderate and almost did a terrible thing with good intentions.”
Seeing Fan Ziruo promise to treat Chu Xiaoxiao as usual in the future, He Yunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. The matter of Chu Xiaoxiao’s abnormal personality had at least been explained away.
After turning the page at this point, the topic soon returned to the right track: how to write a good martial arts novel.
He Yunxiao took out the novel and manuscript paper that he had put away in the morning to hide from Chu Xiaoxiao, and handed them all to Fan Ziruo.
“Ziruo, here are a few martial arts novels I found from home, you should read them first.”
Fan Ziruo weakly took the novels from He House’s study, flipped them open, then switched to another one, and flipped it open again. After that, she repeated the above operation twice again.
She smiled and said, “These are some of the books, I have already read them all, Young Master.”
He Yunxiao’s face darkened.
You’ve read them? How could she still write like that after having read them all?
Seeing He Yunxiao’s blank expression, Fan Ziruo said sheepishly, “Young master, is Ziruo not very smart?”
He Yunxiao was thinking about how to teach Fan Ziruo to write, so he subconsciously said, “No, you probably just have a different brain than others.”
Fan Ziruo: “Huh?”
He Yunxiao realized the slip of the tongue, and only then did he remember that this was something he used to say when he was keyboarding in his previous life.
So he hurriedly explained, “What I mean is that there is a relatively large discrepancy between the story you think of, and the story you end up expressing in words, and the story that is read and understood by the reader.”
Fan Ziruo said weakly, “What should I do then?”
He Yunxiao didn’t know what to do either. He hadn’t studied screenwriting systematically and didn’t know much about many theories. He knew, but only a little.
In fact, most of the writers who write online are the same as him, who have not studied this knowledge systematically. All of them grow through trial and error and constant floundering.
He Yunxiao once again confirmed to Fan Ziruo, “Ziruo, do you really want to write the kind of novel that everyone loves to read?”
Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao and nodded solemnly. To her, it was important that she was happy to write, but gaining the approval of the people she cared about was the thousand times happier than amusing herself.
Ziruo wanted to write a novel that even her Young Master He would like to read!
When He Yunxiao saw how determined she was, he no longer doubted her determination.
He couldn’t write or teach the world’s greatest works, but just writing a popular novel that the common people would love to read. He Yunxiao was completely sure of it.
Although I had only a small collection in my previous life, I am now in the country of Qi where all kinds of entertainment products are quite scarce!
If I can’t write something here, how can I face up to the tens of millions of online readers in my previous life, how can I face up to the countless fellow writers who were rolled to death in my previous life!
Even though I am not a winner in writing, I dared to hold a brush to wipe out the whole country!
Fan Ziruo watched as He Yunxiao’s change in temperament was complete, just like a playboy who did not do anything good. but overnight took off his brocade robe and replaced it with armor. One man riding alone, holding a long sword, straddling the front of the 10,000-strong army.
[Fan Ziruo’s favorability level changed from 75 to 75]
“Ziruo, in fact, if you want to write a novel that everyone loves to read, what is the most important point, do you know?”
“I don’t know.”
He Yunxiao looked at her and smiled, “The most important point is actually to let go of your pride.”
Fan Ziruo frowned, as if she had understood, but also as if she had not.
He Yunxiao did not force her to understand either. It was only normal to not understand by saying so alone.
He took out the paper and divided it into two halves. One of the halves was handed to Fan Ziruo, saying: “Ziruo, the novel I brought you is one that we have both read. One of them, written about ‘Joining the Su family’, remember?”
Fan Ziruo nodded and said, “Yes, I remember. It’s called ‘The Book of Swordsmen in Taihu Lake’.”
He Yunxiao said, “That’s right. Let’s rename this novel now and then go and find Sister Du and the other young maids in the house to see who is more interested in the novel they named.”
Fan Ziruo didn’t know what He Yunxiao’s intention was with this move, but didn’t ask any more questions and just did what he told her to do.
With the thought in mind that she did not want to be underestimated by Young Master He, she recalled the contents of that novel by mind, and then kept refining and sublimating the main theme of the novel.
In the end, after thinking for a whole quarter of an hour, Fan Ziruo wrote down the name she had newly chosen – Qing Ping.
He Yunxiao, on the other hand, had finished writing it long ago, and had nothing better to do than to peek at Fan’s frowning face.
He Yunxiao sighed in his heart: a female protagonist is a female protagonist. Whether it was Chu Xiaoxiao, Du Yinyun or Fan Ziruo who was right in front of him. They were not just beautiful, but they were stunning at first glance and became more and more beautiful with the second, third and fourth glances. Most importantly, they are beautiful in their unique ways, not in the same style.
It really makes people wonder how these faces grew up.
They are simply perfect for He Yunxiao’s aesthetic.
When Fan Ziruo had finished thinking of a name, she said to He Yunxiao, “Has young master thought of one yet?”
He Yunxiao smiled and said, “Of course. Does Ziruo want to see it?”
“Mm.”
He Yunxiao did not hesitate and pushed the manuscript paper with the name written on it in front of Fan Ziruo right then and there.
On the manuscript paper, it read.
The Flabby Son-in-Law: Defeating the Martial Master in One Move.
