Chapter 632: 634, Don’t talk nonsense (first update)

[Loving "The Return of the Past"!]

[So anxious, why hasn’t my sister from "The Return of the Past" arrived yet?]

[Honestly, mistresses are really disgusting. If it’s really confirmed that "The Return of the Past" is a mistress, I will never read her books again.]

["The Return of the Past" is too scared to come now!]

[I predict that this time "The Return of the Past" is really going to fall into the gutter!]

[Sigh... I really liked "The Return of the Past"! Who knew, she actually became a mistress just for fame!]

["The Return of the Past" isn’t really going to not show up, is she?]

[Are you stupid or what upstairs? Which thief would be foolish enough to turn themselves in at the police station?]

The barrage was lively, and the scene was out of control as well.

If it weren’t for the security personnel maintaining order, the fans of "The Return of the Past" would have rushed out and beaten up those eight authors by now.

"The Return of the Past" was their goddess, they absolutely couldn’t allow their goddess to be insulted like this!

"Teacher Wen, please make a decision immediately! Block "The Return of the Past"’s articles and revoke her author status!" The eight authors were still as relentless as ever.

Since things had escalated to this point, they had to bring down "The Return of the Past" today at all costs!

Besides, they didn’t do anything wrong, "The Return of the Past" was a mistress!

"Nonsense!" Teacher Wen slapped the table and said sternly, "Sit down, all of you! Everything will be discussed after ’The Return of the Past’ arrives! She should be here in about five minutes. You’re all seasoned authors; some words carry responsibility once said. I will pretend I never heard what was just said, take back your name tags."

Just now, Teacher Wen had received a call from Linglong. Linglong told him that she and "The Return of the Past" would arrive very soon!

At most five minutes.

Listening to Linglong’s voice, there seemed to be nothing unusual, so "The Return of the Past" must have brought some strong evidence with her.

These eight authors weren’t minor figures; Teacher Wen would try to protect them all if possible.

Nowadays, genuinely talented individuals are becoming rare.

The literary community would have to rely on these people in the future.

If things turned sour, it wouldn’t be good for either side.

Moreover, everyone is from the literary community, why must things escalate to this point?

Teacher Wen might be serious, but he was a very kind person.

He didn’t want to see these authors ruin their future prospects because of a momentary impulse!

Upon hearing this, Qi Tiantian immediately said, "Five minutes away? Teacher Wen, are you joking? If ’The Return of the Past’ had the courage to come, she would have arrived long ago, why drag it out until now? I think she’s just feeling guilty; after all, which mistress can withstand being exposed to the light? Teacher Wen, stop covering for her!"

"Moreover, Teacher Wen, we’re all adults who know the weight of our words and the consequences. Since we’ve spoken, we can’t take it back. A mistress is a mistress, black can’t be said to be white, so please, Teacher Wen, handle this impartially, or else, we people here today, will forever withdraw from the literary community and never write again for the rest of our lives!"

The last sentence, Qi Tiantian said with resounding conviction, without any regret! Even if "The Return of the Past" dared to come, what proof could she present to show she wasn’t a mistress?

Or could she bring the National Goddess to vouch for her?

Thinking about it, it seemed impossible, so "The Return of the Past" was doomed this time!

After this, there would be no more "The Return of the Past" in the literary circle!

Teacher Wen scoffed coldly; he was really angry!

These authors really had no sense of propriety!

Initially, he wanted to save face for these authors, but now it seemed unnecessary!

These people were shameless!

Teacher Wen looked coldly at those on stage and said, "Since the matter has come to this, let me be frank with all of you. The total worth of all eight of you standing here does not compare to one ’The Return of the Past’!"

After this statement, the atmosphere both onstage and offstage became somewhat eerie.

All eight authors had various expressions on their faces.

Teacher Wen’s words were a great insult! He left no face for these authors!

It’s just not right.

When it comes to achievements and literary talent, they simply can’t compare to "The Return of the Past"!

The only thing they might compete in is morality!

But, no one can prove that "The Return of the Past" is written by a mistress.

Similarly, Teacher Wen by saying this has clearly shown his protection and trust for "The Return of the Past"!

The comments on the barrage were also spectacular.

[What a domineering teacher! 666666!]

[Whoa! I’m inexplicably a fan of Teacher Wen.]

[Honestly, I feel these 8 authors are going too far! Why do they have to be so aggressive? Teacher Wen had already given them a way out earlier, but they chose not to take it.]

[Haha, that slap in the face! Smack smack smack! My "Return" has always been excellent, what can you little bitches compare with?]

[Good on you, Teacher Wen! That’s the kind of dominance we need!]

[Damn it! That’s too much! Teacher Wen is obviously covering for that mistress!]

[I know this author, it’s Qi Tiantian, she’s been exposed for plagiarism in a post before! In short, she is a "little white lotus".]

[Candid Teacher Wen, do you realize how hated you’re making yourself by saying that?]

Seeing the situation increasingly unfavorable for herself, "Butterfly Dreamer" smiled sarcastically, clutching her chest as if in deep pain, she began to speak.

"Teacher Wen, you have always been a fair and just senior in my heart, but what about now? Do you realize that you have changed, you are no longer the Teacher Wen I knew! You actually publicly defend a mistress! I’m so disappointed in you! Don’t you have any idea how ’The Return of the Past’ became popular?"

"In the past, I always believed that no matter how long the night, daylight will always come! But now, I realize I was wrong! There is no daylight in this world! This world has always belonged to those with money and power!"

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it, even you have changed! Teacher Wen, you are the person I trust and admire the most! But now! You really disappoint me!"

"I don’t understand what you’re thinking, actually comparing us with a mistress, do you really think that we eight authors are inferior to a mistress in your eyes?"

By this point, "Butterfly Dreamer" was crying like rain, her voice hoarse,"What an irony! Has the literary world really fallen to this state? Is there no light and justice in this world anymore?"

"Teacher Wen, I used to listen to you the most, no matter what you said, I would unconditionally obey. But today, I must defy you, not for myself! Only for light and justice!"

"Today, I, ’Butterfly Dreamer’, will make this clear: as long as I’m in the literary world, I won’t let ’The Return of the Past’, that mistress, ruin the reputation of us authors!"

At the end, "Butterfly Dreamer" was sobbing uncontrollably, as if she had suffered a grave injustice.

In her words, "Butterfly Dreamer" was full of slander against "The Return of the Past," not just about personal character but also the work itself.

And that phrase "only for light and justice" also stirred the emotions of other authors, as well as their fans.

Everyone was voicing their indignation on behalf of their beloved idols, feeling it was undeserved.

Although there were many fans of "The Return of the Past" on site, there were still one-fifth of fans of other authors. At this moment, they were all raising their hands in protest, "The Return of the Past, get out of the literary world!"

"Mistress, get out of the literary world!"

The comments on the barrage gradually leaned toward "Butterfly Dreamer."

The weak, they are always in a state to be sympathized with.

As an author, "Butterfly Dreamer" naturally knows how to manipulate people’s hearts, and she also knows how to cultivate her fanbase.

["Butterfly Dreamer" is quite pitiful too, she hasn’t done anything wrong.]

[I’m actually crying! Really! "The Return of the Past" is so shameless! I didn’t expect the literary world to be in such chaos!]

[Hehehe, the acting skills of ’little white lotus’ are really good!]

[Don’t cry, Dream Butterfly, we’re here for you.]

[Since ancient times, the poor can’t fight the rich, nor can ordinary folks fight officials, it’s just the way it is. But, I really feel sorry for this author called ’Butterfly Dreamer’, knowing that the status quo can’t be changed, yet still making a stand here! I support you! Society needs this kind of positive energy!]

[This woman is just too good at pretending! Whether "The Return of the Past" is a mistress is still debatable! She makes it sound as if "The Return of the Past" is definitely a mistress! Isn’t it just jealousy? If you’re capable, write a groundbreaking masterpiece yourself! Trash!]

[If "The Return of the Past" wasn’t a mistress, why would she be too scared to show her face?]

[Hug for Dream Butterfly.]

[Dream Butterfly, don’t be afraid. The light has always been with you, and so have we. We will always be by your side.]

[I cried too! I feel so sorry for Butterfly Dreamer.]

[Support Dream Butterfly, "The Return of the Past," the mistress, go die!]

Fans of "The Return of the Past" were very rational and kept quiet, biting their lips hard and restraining their emotions, their gazes fixed on the entrance.

They knew that was where their hope would come from.

Facing the tearful accusations word by word from Butterfly Dreamer, Teacher Wen turned blue with anger. In his memory, Butterfly Dreamer had always been a well-read and sensible author who knew when to advance or retreat.

Moreover, aside from "The Return of the Past," Butterfly Dreamer was the second author he had high hopes for. She had been in the literary world for more than ten years and had created quite a few glories for the literary world before this.

But now, Teacher Wen could never have imagined that Butterfly Dreamer would say such things!

It completely overturned the image of Butterfly Dreamer in his heart.

"Butterfly Dreamer!" Teacher Wen struggled to calm himself and lowered his voice slightly, "Considering your past contributions to the literary world, let’s put an end to today’s matter. Please, take the other authors and sit down. You and ’The Return of the Past’ are both authors, sprung from the same root; why is there such urgency to fight amongst yourselves?"

Teacher Wen advised her kindly, but Butterfly Dreamer was completely unappreciative.

"I’m sorry, Teacher Wen, but I, Butterfly Dreamer, have always been straightforward and honest in my conduct, never bowing to evil forces. You can give up on that idea. I’ll say it again, in the literary world, if there is ’The Return of the Past,’ then there is no Butterfly Dreamer, and if there is Butterfly Dreamer, then there is no ’The Return of the Past.’ You decide."

Butterfly Dreamer had finally caught a small tail of "The Return of the Past"; how could she let go so easily?

Of course, she wanted to press on until the end!

To make sure "The Return of the Past" could never turn the tables again.

"Teacher Wen, please announce to the media quickly that from now on, there will be no mistress ’The Return of the Past’ in the literary world!"

"Right! A mistress has no right to be an author."

The other authors echoed the sentiment.

The time was right.

Sounds of footsteps came from the entrance.

By the sound of it, it was very likely that "The Return of the Past" had arrived.

The air fell silent all at once.

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the entrance, filled with anxiousness, tension, unease, mockery, anticipation, triumph...

All sorts of looks were present.

Step—step—step.

The footsteps were getting closer.

People’s necks were stretching longer and longer.

Everyone was curious to see what "The Return of the Past" actually looked like, since she was rumored to be involved with the head of the Mo family.

The beauty of the National Goddess was witnessed by all, so "The Return of the Past" probably wouldn’t be too far off, either.

The figure at the entrance gradually took shape in the air.

She wore a pink dress with a fitted cut, and on her feet were a pair of little white shoes; the whole look was cute, with a touch of a Korean vibe.

Although there was a little difference from what people imagined "The Return of the Past" to be, it wasn’t disappointing.

Very cute.

"Sister Returning, Sister Returning!" Fans down in the audience started to stir and wave towards her.

The live chat was also very lively.

[Is this "The Return of the Past"? She looks quite cute, doesn’t seem like the face of a mistress.]

[She looks so disgusting! I want to throw up!]

[The Return of the Past is so ugly!]

[Finally seeing the true features of The Return of the Past!]

[Wow, our "The Return of the Past" sis is so cute and adorable!]

[I like "The Return of the Past" sis more and more~]

[Seriously doubting the aesthetic of the Mo family’s head, they actually found this kind of merchandise appealing! Truly admirable!]

[Our Dream Butterfly is so much prettier than "The Return of the Past"!]

[Didn’t "The Return of the Past" claim to be the National Goddess, Chu Jin, before? How painful is the slap on her face now?]

[To be honest, someone with such a wrong set of values really isn’t fit to be an author, as said by "Butterfly Dreamer", "The Return of the Past" directly affects the next generation of our motherland!]

[Having the nerve to call herself the National Goddess with this kind of quality! Hahaha...]

[Support "Butterfly Dreamer", "The Return of the Past" should just get out of the literary circle!]

"She’s ’The Return of the Past’?" an author said disdainfully, "She’s not even that good-looking, huh? I don’t know what the Mo family’s head sees in this kind of merchandise."

"Butterfly Dreamer" also looked at that person with an intense gaze, excitement flickering in his eyes, "The Return of the Past"! Today I will ruin your reputation!

Anyway, "The Return of the Past" is as good as dead today!

"’The Return of the Past’! You homewrecker, how dare you show your face here!" Qi Tiantian pointed directly at Linglong, "Get out of here right now, we don’t need trash like you in the literary community!"

Linglong looked bewildered at Qi Tiantian.

What the heck?

What nonsense is this kid spouting?

"The Return of the Past" is a homewrecker, haha, that’s just hilarious!

Teacher Wen also hurriedly asked, "Linglong, why have you come first? Where’s ’The Return of the Past’?"

As soon as these words came out.

Around them arose a wave of sighs.

So this person isn’t "The Return of the Past" after all! Scared them for no reason!

"Where’s ’The Return of the Past’? Why isn’t she here? Is she hiding in a corner, too scared to show up? It would be understandable, with a disgusting homewrecker like her, everyone would rightfully want her punished. If I were her, I wouldn’t dare to show my face either!"

"Get ’The Return of the Past’ to come out right now; she owes an apology to Dream Butterfly senior."

"No need for an apology," "Butterfly Dreamer" wiped away tears, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "I can’t stomach an apology from a homewrecker like her. All I want is a fair and just solution, plus, the person she’s wronged isn’t me, the most direct victim is the National Goddess!"

"Butterfly Dreamer’s" words were beautifully spoken.

He managed to express his own integrity indirectly and mentioned the National Goddess, conveniently riding on the National Goddess’s popularity.

If "The Return of the Past" has come and still doesn’t dare to show up, she must be feeling guilty!

"Butterfly Dreamer" appeared to be very sad on the surface, but inside he was extremely pleased!

[Dream Butterfly is right, converted to a fan, "The Return of the Past" owes our goddess an apology!]

["Butterfly Dreamer" seems like a simple-minded author, I hope Teacher Wen can be a bit fairer in dealing with this matter.]

[Alas, after all this, turns out this person isn’t "The Return of the Past"!]

["The Return of the Past" probably doesn’t have the face to show up!]

["Butterfly Dreamer" is indeed an exemplary author, it’s just a pity that he has encountered such an unfair website and superior, this Teacher Wen is such a jerk, actually protecting that homewrecker!]

[Nowadays websites are all about profit.]

[Where has "The Return of the Past" gone? I thought Linglong was "The Return of the Past" just now! It turns out she’s an editor after all that commotion!]

"Where’s ’The Return of the Past’! Bring her out quickly! If she has the nerve to do that kind of stuff, why doesn’t she have the nerve to face people?"

"Linglong, hurry up and get your author out here! Let us have a good look at the homewrecker’s grace."

"Everyone here is a seasoned author, so please watch your language, and also, are you familiar with the defamation laws of Hua Nation?" Linglong continued, "You can mess with medicine, but mind what you say!"

Being an editor, you definitely protect your own author, especially when "The Return of the Past" is your goddess.

"Butterfly Dreamer" couldn’t be bothered to say more to Linglong, turning his attention to Teacher Wen and continuing, "It seems like ’The Return of the Past’ won’t be showing up, Teacher Wen, please make a decision quickly."
