Chapter 399: Meeting of Fans
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sky Oriole Garden had a total of three floors.
The first floor was the lobby, where ordinary guests listened to the show. The second floor was a private room. One had to pay extra to book it in advance.
The third floor was also a private room, but this place only received important guests.
Wei Liao brought Yu Niaoniao up to the third floor.
Yu Niaoniao looked around. The third floor was very quiet and there was almost no one around.
She asked suspiciously, “Is the troupe master really here?”
“Yes, you’ll see him later.”
With that, Wei Liao pushed open the door of a private room and strode in. After Yu Niaoniao walked in, she realized that there were already many people here, and they were all young men.
These men were gathered together discussing something. As soon as they saw Wei Liao, they immediately greeted him warmly.
“Brother Wei, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Wei Liao brought Yu Niaoniao over and introduced her.
“This is a friend of mine. She’s also read Master Wang’s book and wants to come over and broaden her horizons.”
Then, he bent down slightly and whispered to Yu Niaoniao.
“Actually, I’m here to attend a fan gathering. The people in front of you are all your fans.”
Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said, “But didn’t you say you were taking me to see the troupe master?”
Wei Liao pointed at a fatty in the group.
“He’s the troupe master’s son, Zheng Changle.”
Yu Niaoniao looked at the little fatty and was thinking about how to greet him when she heard the little fatty speak first.
“This little brother must think like us that Master Wang’s writing is super lousy!”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned.
A large question mark slowly floated out of the small head.
The others echoed him at once.
“Forget about the Seven Treasures Record from before. It was still acceptable for the time being. What was that Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation? It made me want to vomit blood.”
“In all my life, I’ve never seen such a ridiculous book!”
“To think I was so looking forward to his new book and went around promoting how good it was. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid! The thing I regret most in my life is opening his book!”
Yu Niaoniao shrank her neck and did not dare to say a word.
She cursed Wei Liao in her heart.
This fellow had deliberately tricked her!
These people were not her fans at all. This was not a fan party.
They were all her anti-fans!
If she exposed her identity here, the consequences awaiting her would definitely be very tragic.
Damn Wei Liao. Not only was he an anti-fan, but he had also gathered a group of anti-fans.
What was he now? An anti-fan leader?!
Wei Liao sat down at the table, picked up a peanut, and threw it into his mouth. He smiled maliciously.
He asked deliberately, as if the scene was not exciting enough, “Brother Yu, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you have a different opinion of Master Wang at the Village Entrance?”
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Yu Niaoniao suspiciously.
She felt that if she dared to say a good word about Master Wang at the Village Entrance, she would not be able to walk out of here alive today. The corners ofYu Niaoniao’s mouth twitched as she forced a smile. “Hehe, you’re right. Master Wang’s book wasn’t good.”
Hearing this, everyone’s gazes immediately became much kinder.
However, Wei Liao refused to let Yu Niaoniao get away so easily.
He continued to ask, “Then tell me, what’s wrong with Master Wang’s book?
Tell us your opinion and share it with everyone.”
The little fatty, Zheng Changle, added, “That’s right. You don’t have to be shy. Say whatever comes to your mind. As long as you don’t like Master Wang at the Village Entrance, you’re one of us!”
Yu Niaoniao braced herself.
“I think Master Wang’s style is alright, but there’s a huge problem with his plot. ”
“Especially the relationship lines between the male and female leads in the Seven Treasures Record.”
“As the daughter of a rich family who had been pampered since she was young, what young talent had she not seen?”
“How could she be charmed by a poor scholar? She even abandoned her parents and eloped with him desperately.”
“This is simply impossible. What nonsense!”
At first, it was very difficult for her to say it. Later, the more she spoke, the smoother it became. In the end, she was already expressing her dissatisfaction sincerely.
Everyone present was stunned.
Even Wei Liao was surprised.
He couldn’t help but argue, “I don’t think the plot of the Seven Treasures Record is very exciting, but it’s not as useless as you say.”
The others had similar thoughts.
The reason why they were originally fans of Master Wang at the Village
Entrance was because they had read the Seven Treasures Record.
Even after they became fans, they still felt that the Seven Treasures Record was a rare good book. From time to time, they would secretly take it out to reminisce.
Zheng Changle said awkwardly,”l also think the Seven Treasures Record is alright.”
“Although the plot was a little exaggerated, it was not completely impossible.” “The protagonist, the scholar, was a little poor, but he had a good appearance and was very talented.”
“Most importantly, he’s sincere to the female lead. It’s possible that the female lead will like him.”
Yu Niaoniao said disdainfully, “If he was sincere, why would he take in so many concubines after becoming the top scholar? Such sincerity is too cheap.”
Zheng Changle argued, “It’s very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, the male lead has already become a high official. Is it appropriate not to have a few beauties serving him?”
Although the others didn’t say anything, they nodded in agreement.
Yu Niaoniao spread her hands.
“That’s why it’s very normal for the princess to have three husbands and four consorts in The Record of Phoenix Cry Nation. After all, she’s rich and powerful. ”
Zheng Changle choked hard.
He was exasperated. “You’re unreasonable!”
Yu Niaoniao said righteously, “You were the one who told me just now that no matter what I thought, I could say it. Now that I’ve said it, you’re unhappy.
What do you want me to do?”
Zheng Changle wanted to retort, but he did not know how to speak. He was so angry that his chubby face turned red.
In the end, he decided to be shameless.
“I don’t care! You can only say that the Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation is bad, but don’t say that the Seven Treasures Record is bad!”
Yu Niaoniao deliberately pretended to be puzzled.
“Why? Didn’t these two books come from Master Wang at the Village Entrance?
Since they’re both Master Wang’s books, they should be scolded.”
Zheng Changle did not know how to refute and scratched his head anxiously.
It was obvious that he was no match for Yu Niaoniao in terms of glibness.
He could only turn to Wei Liao for help.
“Brother Wei, say something!”
Wei Liao said slowly, “I think Brother Yu is right. Whether it’s the Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation or the Seven Treasures Record, as long as they’re Master
Wang’s books, they should be scolded.”
Yu Niaoniao gave the little fatty a smug smile and swaggered to the table.
Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly reached out and pulled out the fan Wei Liao had clipped to his waist.
Wei Liao reacted quickly.
Before she could open her fan, he grabbed her wrist.
“What are you doing?!”
Yu Niaoniao deliberately shouted.
“Aiya, why are you nervous? I just want to see your fan. If I remember correctly, your fan was made by Master Wang at the Village Entrance, right? I didn’t expect you to carry it with you.”
Everyone immediately looked at the folding fan..
