Chapter 1207: Chapter 1201: Throwing a Brick to Attract Jade

"What are you doing, Ruonan? Sit down quickly, why are you joining the commotion!" Ye Xiyao saw this and quickly reached out to hold her back.

"Ruonan, don’t be mad, honey. He definitely has a way to deal with this old guy!" Qian Ziwei also hurriedly tried to soothe her. Lin Ruonan pouted and sat down resentfully.

Zhou Wendong, who was next to them, was sweating profusely, thinking to himself how fearsome this mistress truly is.

Zhou Wendong didn’t know that in the Capital City, Lin Ruonan was known as the fiery "Little Chili", and it was fortunate that Ye Xiyao and Qian Ziwei were there; otherwise, she might have actually rushed forward to start a fight.

Given Professor Cai’s frail stature, even if he didn’t get beaten to death by Qian Ziwei, he’d probably be scared to death.

"Professor Cai, have you become so foolish from teaching that you think you need to lecture me now?" Li Changlin couldn’t possibly respond to Professor Cai’s question. This wasn’t Professor Cai’s classroom, and he had no right to question him, "Did you arrive late just now? Hundreds of people here were waiting for both of you. Although you both used traffic as an excuse, since you knew today was a recording day, why didn’t you leave earlier? Moreover, whether it’s me, Professor Ma, or both of you, we are all guests, aren’t we? What right do you have to dictate to the production team what to do!"

"You, a person with no scholarly knowledge of ’Journey to the West’, what right do you have to criticize me!" With these words from Li Changlin, Professor Cai was left unable to retort, his face immediately turned grim as he sternly shouted: "I really don’t understand what the production team was thinking, how a scholarly-illiterate internet broadcaster like you qualifies to be a guest!"

"So, Professor Cai, you are certain that your expertise in ’Journey to the West’ surpasses mine, huh? I wonder if Professor Luo thinks the same." Li Changlin snorted mockingly and then turned his head to look at Professor Luo, who was enjoying the commotion from the side.

This caught Professor Luo off guard; he was having quite a time watching until Li Changlin suddenly dragged him into the conversation.

With an embarrassed smile, Professor Luo waved his hands and said, "Mr. Li, you jest. ’Journey to the West’ is profound and vast, and I dare not claim my expertise surpasses anyone else’s; these are merely some personal understandings."

Now that Professor Cai had clearly pitched himself against Li Changlin, he had no interest in stepping in further.

Otherwise, offending Li Changlin would be a minor issue, but he really didn’t want to end up offending Professor Cai also.

"Alright, since Professor Luo is being so humble, I won’t say more. In a bit, I will indeed ask Professor Cai for some guidance!" Li Changlin glanced sideways at Professor Cai and calmly settled down.

After all, all four of them had signed an agreement with the production team, and Professor Cai certainly couldn’t back out now. Li Changlin was ready to give him a harsh lesson soon and let this old guy know that there are always bigger fish!

"Alright, I will gladly enlighten you shortly!" Professor Cai, also fuming, sat down. He detested disrespected youths like Li Changlin the most.

Little did he know, it was actually Professor Cai’s own behavior that had irritated Li Changlin.

"Everyone, take your places, we’re about to start shooting!" The assistant director secretly wiped off his sweat, and after getting approval from Wen Chengzai, he immediately grabbed a walkie-talkie and shouted.

Suddenly, there was motion both onstage and offstage as several cameras were turned on, Wen Chengzai took his place, and then the assistant director quietly exited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello, this is the Dragon TV program ’A Tale of the Journey to the West’, and I’m your host, Wen Chengzai. Welcome to watch ’A Tale of the Journey to the West’. Today, we are fortunate to have Professor Cai, Professor Luo, Professor Ma, and Mr. Li Changlin with us. These four guests will join me to tell you some unique stories of ’Journey to the West’."

Wen Chengzai sat opposite the guest seats, talking while introducing the four guests. Each guest mentioned by him smiled and nodded to the audience below, seemingly harmonious.

However, many people knew that this harmony was just a deception.

I believe that during the interaction later, confrontations between Professor Cai and Li Changlin are inevitable. This episode will surely be interesting to watch.

"’Journey to the West’ is one of the four great classical novels of Xuanyuan Country. I believe that the vast majority of the audience have read this book, especially since some excellent directors have turned ’Journey to the West’ into films and TV shows, making the four main characters well-known figures. On the surface, the book tells about Tang Monk’s pilgrimage for scriptures, where the master and his disciples bravely overcome various difficulties and ultimately attain enlightenment. But if we read the book closely, we’ll find many parts that are illogical, contradictory, and some parts that simply cannot be explained by common sense."

As planned by the program team, Professor Cai is undoubtedly the sole protagonist of ’A Tale of the Journey to the West’, even Professor Luo, who is as renowned as him, plays a supporting role at this time.

Therefore, after Wen Chengzai set up the main theme of ’Journey to the West’, Professor Cai took over the topic and started speaking eloquently.

After briefly discussing the central theme of ’Journey to the West’, Professor Cai then smiled and asked, "Speaking of ’Journey to the West’, I wonder which character among Tang Monk’s disciples everyone likes?"

Wen Chengzai was the first to answer: "I like Sun Wukong, strong and clear on the distinction between good and evil, hating the evil as if it’s his enemy."

Professor Luo also nodded, saying: "Exactly, and with his fiery eyes, he can see through demons and spirits, not being deceived by fairies’ appearances. Most importantly, Sun Wukong doesn’t fear the powerful, and deals with demons without mercy."

Professor Ma laughed lightly, calmly saying: "I like Tang Monk, who grew up in the monastery and always carries compassion. However, it’s because of this, he often gets deceived by the appearance of fairies."

After everyone answered, they all looked towards Li Changlin.

The audience below did the same, with many people’s eyes shimmering with a teasing glow.

Li Changlin scanned the audience below, having an idea in his mind.

He calmly looked at Professor Cai, and softly smiled before speaking: "Before answering Professor Cai’s question, I think it is necessary to correct a statement Professor Cai made earlier."

Wow!

As these words fell, the whole venue was in an uproar. Professor Cai stared harshly at Li Changlin, snorting coldly: "Mr. Li, I wonder which part was incorrect just now, please enlighten me."

"Since Professor Cai is so sincere, then I will share my views," Li Changlin wasn’t at all polite with Professor Cai, and responded with a light smile: "Professor Cai mentioned earlier that there are many illogical and contradictory points in ’Journey to the West’, which I agree with. However, he also said that some parts of ’Journey to the West’ simply cannot be explained with common sense, with this I disagree. The author wrote this book obviously having clear reasons. Perhaps Professor Cai hasn’t discovered it, or perhaps can’t understand, but it doesn’t mean no one can."
