Xu Bamboo lived for more than twenty years, only wanting to be a monk in Shaolin Temple for the rest of his life, not wishing to become an unparalleled master drawn into Martial World conflicts. Yet, first Zi schemed and lured Xu Bamboo into breaking the feasting precept, and then followed Tianshan Child Granny, forcing Xu Bamboo to break the precepts of killing, lust, and others.

Xu Bamboo just wished to peacefully be a Shaolin monk, that’s all.”

The students asked again:

“What about Duan Yu?”

“Duan Yu was born into nobility, handsome in appearance and well-read, but later, his mastery in martial skills wasn’t by choice. Almost every girl he encountered turned out to be his sister. He was infatuated with Wang Yuyan, but in Wang’s heart, there was only her cousin. In the end, after losing his parents, he learned that his biological father was Duan Yanqing, the most detested among the Four Great Evildoers. Even though he became an emperor, given the chance to choose again, he certainly wouldn’t resign himself to such a fate.”

“Then what about Xiao Feng?”

The students finally asked the critical point.

Xiao Feng’s death is the greatest pain in everyone’s heart. Some even believe: “Chu Kuang deliberately killed off Xiao Feng in revenge against the readers, even though it was clear there was no need for Xiao Feng to die at the end!”

“Wrong!”

Professor Wang sighed: “Apart from death, Xiao Feng had no place in this vast world. Neither Great Liao was possible, nor Great Song, not even Dali or Holy Eagle Palace. Xiao Feng would decidedly never go there. Added to the guilt and missing of Zhu, continuing to live would be like a walking corpse; death unwittingly became his relief — trivial riches, fleeting life and death, what does he fear?”

The students’ eyes reddened: “So Xiao Feng had no choice but to die?”

Professor Wang nodded: “Xiao Feng is the second resounding hero under Chu Kuang’s pen after Guo Jing, but his tragedy was actually the inevitable result of the novel’s progression to the end. As I said at the beginning, there is no injustice without passion, and all characters face their destined calamities, whether they are protagonists or not, even for Zhuang Juxian, Murong Fu, and all the three hundred plus diverse characters in the novel. This is the main theme of the novel’s creation.”

The students sighed: “What a pity for a generation of heroes.”

A student in the front row suddenly spoke: “Professor Wang, which character’s ending do you find most regretful?”

Is it Xiao Feng?

Is it Xu Bamboo?

Or perhaps Duan Yu?

However, Professor Wang’s answer was beyond everyone’s expectations:

“Murong Fu, I suppose.”

There was an uproar in the audience!

After reading the novel, many people disliked Murong Fu, yet Professor Wang gave such an answer!

One can only say Professor Wang is indeed remarkable.

When discussing Chu Kuang’s wuxia, he always provides some bizarre viewpoints that are hard for everyone to accept momentarily.

“I am a professor, my task is to educate people.”

Professor Wang faced the doubts with openness:

“Murong Fu is precisely the product of failed education, hence is the person who struck my itch.

In this world, some parents indulge their children to not strive with efforts, while others impose excessive unrealistic expectations on their children.

Murong Fu’s father, Murong Bo, especially vile, didn’t strive himself, pretended dead for many years yet burdened the responsibility of restoring the kingdom upon his child.

Good education is through word and example, oneself is the benchmark;

Bad education is oneself avoiding passively, but demanding the child to become something, leading to a promising child ending up psychologically twisted and disabled.

The moment Murong Fu appeared, how dazzling was he?

Young, already renowned far and wide, as illustrious as Xiao Feng in Jiangnan, indeed radiant.

Yanziwu depicted the affluent family feel of Jiangnan town with utmost brilliance, where the big brothers and little brothers, all sorts of maids, seemed to exist for the so-called Young Master Murong.

People said he was a master of both literature and martial prowess, eloquent and charming, a phoenix among men, impactful even from his aura.

During the duel at Shaoshi Mountain.

Murong Fu got defeated by Duan Yu’s Six Meridian Divine Swords, losing his armor and abandoning his gear, yet took advantage of Duan Yu’s mercy, suddenly backstabbed, and then precisely caught by Xiao Feng, hurled and fell face-first, Xiao Feng disparagingly remarked: Xiao Feng, such a great man, shares fame with a guy like you.

Pitiful, lamentable.

But if you consider it differently, if Murong Fu were this book’s protagonist, smoothly accomplishing the dream of restoring the kingdom, without falling to darkness in the struggle, would you still dislike him so much?”

Professor Wang was full of sighs.

The students beneath were instantly stumped.

Even those with hateful facets must have pitiable aspects.

Murong Fu, as the imperial grandson of Great Yan, was educated from an early age to regard reviving Great Yan as his lifelong aim; sacrificing for the country was correct.

Yet how can a nation’s revival be achieved by one’s strength alone?

Thus after half a lifetime of toil, the goal remained a dream beyond reach, having an infatuated cousin was of no use.

He failed Wang Yuyan, yet could be considered loyal to his family and bloodline, spending decades in Jiangnan, resorting to any means, trying his utmost, alas, the greater trend of the world couldn’t be altered by one, unable to fall in love is to say the least a void in both career and love.

For a man—

Especially for an extraordinary talent like Murong Fu skilled in both literature and martial arts, young and handsome in his time, what kind of pain and emptiness is this?

“I am not justifying Murong Fu, merely wishing everyone not to merely regard him as a shallow villain. His fault isn’t solely personal. I even have a speculation possibly everyone can’t accept. I think if the stories in the book truly happen, if those people exist, Wang Yuyan might not necessarily abandon Murong Fu, supposing Duan Yu weren’t one of the protagonists.”

“I disagree!”

One student reacted intensely: “Neither Xiao Feng nor Xu Bamboo received paternal education, yet they walked the path of uprightness!”
