"...Chenfeng shows no signs of military action, and recently, the Chenfeng Yellow Turban (White Night) seems to be stirring quite a fuss. Even the Star Engraving County has imposed a curfew, and the Yellow Turban (White Night) is planning a major operation soon. Since I'm not part of the White Night decision-making circle, I don't know much, but Qing Mei accidentally mentioned in her sleep that the Yellow Turban (White Night) intends to reclaim Star Engraving County..."
"'Your Name' has received great acclaim, Youth Daily's sales have hit new highs, and the letters urging updates are almost filling up the newspaper office. It might be because it resonates with people; after all, Xuanzhu County has faced threats from the Linhai Army directly, unlike your previous stories. This one can evoke empathy in many..."
"I've gradually been delegating the newspaper business to others lately. Qing Mei might even replace me as the editor-in-chief. I'm ready to leave at any moment, but if I do, I must tell Qing Mei. Do you think I can disclose your news to her?"
"Last time you said not to reveal your real name or identity, alright, I believe you. Then just describe the girls you've been frequently in contact with these days. No need for names; just describe their personalities and appearances, and what kind of relationship you have with them. Don't say you have no girls around - if you were really hanging out with guys all the time, you wouldn't be bored enough to write me letters frequently."
Upon reading this, Leyu raised an eyebrow, feeling Qing Lan was slandering him—was he the type to forget everything when he had a new man? His XP system was perfectly normal!
"Don't rush to refute. Most of your letters these days have been about how to mess with Lan Yan. Sometimes I think you might as well write directly to Lan Yan. The letters meant for me, not a hint of sweet words... did you use all your writing inspiration on plotting against Lan Yan?"
No rebuttal possible.
It's not that Leyu doesn't want to write love notes, but in his past life, he was forever single, barely watched any romance movies, unlike the Sea King who could whip up sweet words effortlessly, like a sow wearing a bra, one set after another.
"The more I write, the angrier I get, not writing anymore! Do you know what the stained glass says before jumping off?"
"Good night, I'm scattered!"
On turning over another piece of paper, Leyu found just one line:
"Don't always write serious stuff, I want to hear you talk nonsense."
Ugh, this is really tricky... Leyu shrugged. Ever since activating the 'Ice Blood Physique,' he felt like he was in 'high-performance mode,' rarely engaging in redundant activities, never once doing anything extravagant like spraying the elixir around. He could openly declare himself a virgin—at least during this period with Qian Le Yin.
Talking nonsense, now that's a hard task for him. He strives to be brief, small, and quick, almost wanting to speak in classical Chinese.
Using Yellow Turban in the letter to refer to White Night was to avoid 404s, preventing the courier from getting curious and opening the letter.
'Your Name,' being a short story, was serialized to its final chapter in two or three issues. Following the original ending, Leyu should have made the male lead in Yanjing and the female lead in Dongyang meet in Yanjing, achieving life's grand harmony together.
But Leyu found it not playful enough, and now this novel's audience is the people of Dongyang under White Night's rule. This means Leyu could write something more quirky to cater to Dongyang's tastes—and his own dark humor.
Thinking about this made ideas flow to Leyu's mind, as if inspired by a divine force, writing ten chapters in one night, crafting the ending effortlessly. In the plot, the male lead in Yanjing, 'Long,' travels to Dongyang three years into the future to save the female lead 'Ye,' unexpectedly stumbling into the secret realm 'River of Time,' where he meets the female lead, persuading her to quickly take the villagers and flee to avoid Lan Yan's army.
After leaving the River of Time, both lose their memories. Three years later, the male lead becomes an officer in the Yanjing Statistical Department, working under a nasty dwarf of a boss, remaining unmarried.
While pursuing White Night members in Yanjing, the male lead sees a familiar silhouette, chasing it all the way up a long set of stairs.
He thinks he's mistaken until they pass each other, both looking and asking, "What's your name?"
The original version ends here, but Leyu added a few more lines.
"I'm Ye, and I'm also a proud White Night Walker."
"When Ye spoke, she carried pride and a smile, but none of the tenderness Long remembered was there, instead filled with steadfast determination."
"Like being splashed with cold water on a freezing day, Long halted, retracting the hand he reached out, looking at the girl in front of him, whom he longed for. Though filled with words, only a cold self-introduction came out."
"I'm Long, affiliated with the Yanjing Statistical Department."
Good!
Full of spirit!
Wasn't Qing Lan complaining about receiving too many letters urging updates? Next time, if there are no letters urging updates, maybe it'll be replaced with razor blades!
Night fell, and Leyu had a brilliant idea to frame Lan Yan, but seeing Qing Lan getting jealous over Lan Yan, he had to give it up.
Qing Lan asked him to describe the girls around him, their appearance, personality, and relationship with him, so Leyu wrote succinctly:
"Number One: Pretty, cool personality, respects me like a brother."
"Number Two: Pretty, serious personality, treats me like a teacher."
"Number Three: Pretty enough, lively personality, caters to me like a boss."
"Number Four: Pretty, big-chested, meek personality, occasionally has meals together."
"Number Five: Pretty, stubborn personality, hates me like an enemy yet loves me like family."
"Number Six: Pretty, stubborn yet insecure personality, currently my boss but obedient; she does whatever I ask."
Great, Qing Lan will naturally know from my statement that I'm clean and honest. Leyu flicked the paper, feeling quite proud of his integrity.
Suddenly, thinking of Qing Lan's strange request, Leyu hesitated a bit, and at the bottom wrote a note:
"You have a new love order, please timely receive me."
...
...
The next day at noon, Leyu delivered the letter, then leisurely went to the dining hall for lunch. Recently, with the Eye of Omniscience exams over, the main quest came to a halt, he could actually steal half a day's leisure, preparing lessons during the day, sparring with Shi Wen in the afternoon, supervising Lai Ya's sword practice, and discussing ancient topics with 'Sound' promptly at eight every evening, with two days slipping by effortlessly.
Just like spending a National Day holiday in his past life, it went by in the blink of an eye.
"Hurry up, heard there's big news on the bulletin board!"
"What's the big news?"
"Seems the Eye of Omniscience results are out!"
At noon after class, students rushed out of the teaching buildings but didn't dash towards the 'dog food' or 'pig food' dining halls. Instead, they gathered at the central square bulletin board. Leyu originally had no interest in this old-school forum, but upon hearing the Eye of Omniscience results were out, he felt compelled to check it out.
Actually, he wasn't absolutely confident in having Ming Shuiyun get the top score in the Eye of Omniscience, since 'Feng Lv' and 'Thousand Faces' had never participated in the Sword Sheath battle, indicating they had foolproof plans against his cheating methods.
If he hadn't seized the opportunity, securing Shi Wen as the key to victory first, he would've had to find ways to sabotage.
Maintaining an ordinary mindset, even if he lost would only be temporary. He'd surely win back eventually. If feeling upset, he could take it out on Shi Wen with an afternoon spar... Leyu pondered various thoughts as he approached. Students around the bulletin board automatically made way for him, giving him awe-filled looks.
Why are students so well-behaved today?
As Leyu reached the bulletin board, he understood the reason for the students' peculiar behavior.
There were two lists on the bulletin board.
The first was the "Eye of Omniscience Score Sheet," detailing specific scores and rankings, with Eye of Omniscience having a total score of 200 points.
"Eye of Omniscience: Ming Shuiyun (196)"
"Heart of Universal Learning: Qian Yuya (195), Lin Xue (195), Ming Shuangli (184), Li Wanji (180)..."
"Seeker's Apprentice: Ming Dailan (171), Dongfang Weiming (170), Ming Yueyan (168)..."
Good, Shi Wen escaped a beating, and Ming Shuiyun emerged victorious.
But compared to the score sheet, the problem lay with the list beside it.
"Radiant Points Chart"
"Congratulations! Shuiyun Palace follower 'Qin Leyin' performed outstandingly in the Eye of Omniscience exam, positively impacting Shuiyun Palace's scores, and upheld the principle of friendship first, competition second, cleverly resolving sudden crises time and again, achieving a dual success in career and friendship, rating: God-like operation (flawlessly perfect)!
