"Why are you back...?"
Sebastian looked at Fiora in disbelief. He had thought he would never see her again in his life, but Fiora had actually returned on her own.
Fiora's expression remained cold. Ever since yesterday, Fiora had maintained this cold expression:
"I heard everything you just said from outside the door."
Sebastian hung his head in shame, as if mustering immense Courage, he squeezed out these few words:
"Before... it was my... fault... I'm sorry..."
Fiora showed no reaction, just looking at Sebastian:
"Are you done?"
The next second, Fiora's sword was already at her father's neck.
Sebastian did not resist. Even if Fiora killed him, he had no objections now. Sebastian slowly closed his eyes:
"I am not a good father. Chen was right; the person I owe the most in this life is you. It's my own doing, pushing you into the abyss."
"But... we are members of the Laurent Family. It doesn't matter if you kill me, but you must think for the honor and future of the Laurent Family."
"The marriage has been canceled. The Crownguard Family has challenged our Laurent Family. I am sure to die in this battle, and the Laurent Family will have no standing in Demacia. I hope you will consider the family's honor and help the Laurent Family..."
But Fiora still maintained her icy demeanor, without any expression:
"The duel, leave it to me."
"No!"
Sebastian shook his head with all his might:
"I will never agree to let you duel. The Crownguard Family is furious. They will send their strongest duelist. I know you are exceptionally talented, but you absolutely cannot defeat him!"
Fiora's sword drew closer and closer to Sebastian's neck:
"I said, I will duel!"
But Sebastian was unusually firm this time:
"Who goes is my decision. I will never let you go to your death. If you insist on going, there's only one possibility, and that is if you kill me right now!"
Fiora's sword had already cut Sebastian's skin, but Sebastian remained unswayed. This was his choice, and his Salvation.
Finally, Fiora's sword did not strike down. The blade returned to its sheath, and she left without looking back...
...
Chen was busily preparing for the New Culture Movement, intending to sweep Demacia with literature.
"The name Chen definitely can't be used. Everyone in Demacia now knows Chen is not a good person. I need to pick a pseudonym."
Chen sat with his legs crossed, contemplating what name would be good:
"How about my pseudonym is Zhou Shuren? A reverse homage to Lu Xun! No, using the name of a martyr isn't good... Forget it, I'll decide later..."
Lux quickly gathered a group of writers. Chen looked at them and said:
"Wait, all your literati in Demacia are women!"
Lux patted her chest, assuring him:
"We were all part of the Demacian Women's Rights Association before, fighting for women's rights. We've published many feminist articles in various Demacian publications..."
"Pfft!"
Chen spat out a mouthful of tea. So, they were already starting to "fight the patriarchy," huh?
But Chen was still very rational. Feminism at this time was different from the "pastoral feminism" on the internet later. This was about fighting for women's rightful rights, not for all rights.
Chen quickly calmed down and said to Lux:
"Alright... But mainly, your current work will still be editing, typesetting, and publishing."
Lux asked with a puzzled expression:
"Aren't you letting us write articles? Are you going to write everything yourself?"
Chen nodded:
"For now, I'll write first. Later, you can learn and then write."
Lux looked confused. Although the New Culture Movement was proposed by Chen, he actually intended to write all the articles himself. Was he crazy?
Chen handed several manuscripts to Lux:
"I've already written a novel. Take it and read it first, then decide whether to publish it in our own magazine or another one."
Lux wanted to see what Chen had written. She took Chen's manuscript and flipped through it slightly:
"diary of a madman? This title? What is this about?"
Chen was unperturbed. He was not the true author of "diary of a madman"; he was merely a "preacher" and translator, translating Chinese into the common language of Runeterra.
Chen was full of confidence in this novel:
"You read it first."
Lux sat aside and began to read.
Meanwhile, Chen continued translating "A Modest Proposal for the Reform of Literature."
It didn't take Lux long to finish the novel. She found that the cold sweat on her back had soaked her clothes. She gasped for air and turned to the first page again.
An hour later, Lux had read it three times. She controlled her shock and walked step by step to Chen, deliberating for a long time before saying to him:
"What exactly did you write?"
Chen felt that he would never reach the heights of Mr. Lu Xun, so he directly answered with the original text:
"Everything needs to be studied to be understood. People have always eaten people since ancient times, I remember it too, but not very clearly. I opened the history books and checked; this history had no dates, and on every crooked page were written the words 'Benevolence, Righteousness, Morality.'"
For the first time, Lux felt such pain from an article, and for the first time, she felt that words had such powerful strength. This "diary of a madman" had no ornate words, but it contained a profound era hidden between the lines!
Lux understood half of it but didn't fully grasp it. She asked Chen for guidance:
"When you say 'eat people,' do you mean literally eating people?"
Chen smiled faintly:
"No, it's 'etiquette' eating people."
Lux suddenly understood. She couldn't control her excited emotions:
"Fiora, she's already been eaten until only bones are left, and I'm about to be put in the pot too..."
Lux quickly walked up to Chen. Her previous doubts and distrust were swept away. She earnestly said to Chen:
"Mr. Su, I want to become your disciple! Please be my literature teacher from now on!"
"Huh?"
Chen was stunned. This was unexpected. His own literary level wasn't really at the point of teaching others.
But Mr. Lu Xun was somewhat his teacher, and also a teacher to later generations of Chinese people. Lu Xun's articles would also appear on the land of Demacia, so Chen did not refuse:
"Writing mostly relies on one's own understanding and comprehension, but you can read all these articles as soon as they're available. If you don't understand, you can ask me. I can help you comprehend the articles; I won't directly teach you how to write. You'll have to grasp writing yourself."
Lux was overjoyed:
"Thank you, Mr. Su!"
Chen nodded and said to Lux:
"For this piece, do you think we should print and distribute it ourselves, or sell it somewhere else?"
Lux pondered, pinching her fingers as she replied:
"Mr. Su, if we publish it ourselves, our reputation is small, and not many people will see it. Putting such an article there would be a waste. Let's build up our reputation first and submit it to the most popular Demacia Weekly. That magazine has a very good relationship with our family..."
Chen believed that these commercial matters, since Lux was familiar with Demacia, could be entrusted to her without issue:
"Good, let's do it that way."
"Wait, Mr. Su, what name will you use for publication? Your real name, or a pseudonym?"
"A pseudonym. This 'diary of a madman' will be published under the name Lu Xun."
"Lu Xun, alright."
"Wait, there are a few more here. This 'A Modest Proposal for the Reform of Literature' is signed Hu Shi, and this 'The Victory of Bolshevism' is signed Chen Duxiu."
"Teacher, why do you use so many pseudonyms?"
"These are not my pseudonyms; these are the pseudonyms of my teachers!"
