Chapter 754: Dictating the Book
Steam curled faintly from the tea. On the stage, Mister Yun was telling a story. His material fell into a completely different category than Cao Fa's; despite their relationship as master and apprentice, their storytelling styles could not have been more different.
Cao Fa specialized in tales of spirits and the bizarre. Mister Yun, on the other hand, excelled at adapting historical anecdotes or true events, bringing them to life through storytelling.
Generally speaking, such stories were far more immersive.
Master and apprentice each had their own strengths.
"Picking up where we left off, we speak of that Vice Minister who alone led his fierce generals, marching to his death in the Northern Border..."
Listening to this familiar tale, Chen Changsheng felt a sudden stir in his heart.
Mister Yun let out a long sigh. "The Vice Minister possessed peerless talent. Whether in the Literary Dao or the martial dao, he was a rarity in his era. It is merely a pity that the heavens did not favor him. Truly a cause for sorrow."
Mister Yun only dared to refer to the man as the Vice Minister. He did not dare speak his true name, likely because the events were still too recent and certain words remained taboo.
Listening to the story, Master Jin San remarked, "I've heard people speak of this Vice Minister before. Back when I was in the Southern Domain, I heard that he was originally a cultivator. After leaving his mountain, he studied for just one year and earned the rank of Bangyan. He then went to the Hanlin Academy in Shangjing. After leaving there, he worked in the Ministry of Punishments before finally being promoted to Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
