"The Immortal Sword" was released on its second day.
The number of subscribers reached over 35,000, directly breaking the record of 25,000 initial subscriptions set by the two great authors, Guazi and Jiangyou, on Qifei Chinese Website.
Furthermore, it dethroned the popular entertainment novel "My Fans Have Grown Up," which had only been available for a few days, from the top spot on the bestseller list.
"Ranked at the top!" Soy Sauce was so depressed after hearing this news from his friend Melon Seed that he almost vomited blood.
The top spot on the Heavenly Ranking has always been... his and Guazi's exclusive territory, held alternately by the two of them without exception.
But! Now, a Cheng Yaojin has suddenly appeared out of nowhere! He's taken his place! How could Soy Sauce, who's been focused on writing, tolerate this? He immediately started flipping through "Zhu Xian Sword" to see if another big shot had appeared! But what he didn't do was...
He became completely captivated at first sight.
He can't even bother updating his own book, letting readers criticize him relentlessly! Seeing the latest chapter...
Still feeling unsatisfied, he immediately donated 10,000 yuan to "Zhu Xian Sword".
He left a comment: "This book is really good. No wonder it pulled me down from the top of the charts. Author, please update soon!" His comment boosted the subscription rate of "Zhu Xian Sword" even further.
Su Mingyang was in a great mood after achieving such remarkable results, and he updated his blog with 20,000 words a day.
Finally, a month after the book was published, he received 500,000 yuan in royalties! Including the more than 1.6 million yuan in his bank account and the profits from the coffee shop, he now has more than 2 million yuan in savings.
Now that you have money, you naturally have to spend it.
During their break at the coffee shop, he took Lin Wanyu shopping at the mall.
Chanel clothes, shoes, lipstick sets—she bought them all! At first, Lin Wanyu wanted to pay with her own salary, but Su Mingyang wouldn't let her do that and paid first.
While happy, Lin Wanyu said with a hint of resentment, "Mingyang, I'll buy you some clothes later too, otherwise I won't have anywhere to spend my salary except for snacks!"
When the two of them go out on dates after work, Su Mingyang always insists on paying for everything, which means she hasn't touched her salary for several months and has saved tens of thousands of yuan.
Su Mingyang thought for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Alright, I'll do as you say."
Seeing that he agreed, Lin Wanyu smiled.
He happily took Su Mingyang into Versace and bought several men's outfits and a belt.
When I left, several months' worth of wages had been squandered.
However, Lin Wanyu didn't feel any financial pain at all.
This was the first time she had ever spent money on Su Mingyang, and it was with her hard-earned wages.
I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
When the two returned to the Love Apartment...
Chen Meijia, Guan Gu Shenqi, Lu Zhanbo, and a group of others were gathered in 360's living room, studying something.
Only after asking did they learn that they had found some clues through Zeng Xiaoxian's credit card statement.
Chapter 176 What a talent!
Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu put their things back in the room and sat on the sofa to analyze Zeng Xiaoxian's whereabouts with everyone.
Lu Zhanbo glanced at the credit card statement in front of him and said to everyone, "Judging from the spending on this credit card statement, Teacher Zeng went to Lao Yue."

Lin Wanyu asked疑惑地问道, "Why is Teacher Zeng going to Lao Yue?" "Who knows?"
Su Mingyang smiled.
"Quick, let's see what Teacher Zeng bought!"
Chen Meijia asked curiously.
Lu Zhanbo nodded and read aloud: "A dozen packs of toilet paper from Lao Yue Supermarket, a set of women's clothing from Hewai Fashion Boutique City on the 12th, a Sony portable TV from the Digital Store on the 15th, and the most outrageous thing is this: a can of infant formula from the Maternal and Child Health Store on the same day."
Lin Wanyu frowned and said, "These things are too strange."
"These are all the clues we have so far: toilet paper, women's clothing, portable baby formula."
Lu Zhanbo looked at everyone, "What comes to mind?"
"Ah, I understand!"
Guan Gu Shenqi pondered for two seconds, then said with certainty, "It's quite obvious now. Teacher Zeng must be in dire straits, and we'll definitely be able to find him online!"
""
Everyone looked at Guan Gu with suspicion.
"Teacher Zeng must have been playing with online video selfies. Here's what happened."
Guan Gu Shenqi shared his guess: "Teacher Zeng has no income if he doesn't have a job, so he needs to earn money."
He doesn't know how to make a living by uploading selfie videos. This women's clothing, if I'm not mistaken, should be a kimono. The video he uploaded this time is a geisha memoir.
Lin Wanyu asked, "Where is the baby formula he bought?"
"I just said that Teacher Zeng has no income and is in dire straits."
Guan Gu Shenqi said confidently, "So he definitely can't afford the foundation used by geishas, so milk powder is his foundation!"
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, everyone simultaneously imagined Zeng Xiaoxian wearing a kimono, his face smeared with baby powder, raising his eyebrows at the camera, and felt extremely disgusted.
Chen Meijia said helplessly, "Guan Gu, there's still toilet paper."
Guan Gu Shenqi smirked and said, "That's easy. Teacher Zeng used the toilet paper as a gymnastic belt and started wiggling around."
A picture flashed through everyone's minds—Zeng Xiaoxian dressed in a kimono, his face smeared with baby powder, and holding toilet paper in his hand.
Amidst a flurry of poses for the camera: "Quickly use the nunchucks! Hmph! Quickly use the nunchucks! Hmph! Remember, those who practice martial arts are invincible through benevolence! Tai Chi is ever-flowing! Hmph!"
After finishing, Zeng Xiaoxian threw out the toilet paper and gave her a flirty wink.
Everyone fainted:
Su Mingyang looked up at the sky speechlessly, then gave Qi a thumbs up and said, "Guan Gu, you really are a genius!"
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment."
Guan Gu Shenqi thought Su Mingyang meant he agreed with him, and thanked him.
"What are you praising, Guan Gu? Mingyang is mocking you."
Chen Meijia rolled her eyes and looked at the stunned Guan Gu Shenqi, saying, "Your idea is too far-fetched. Not all women's clothing is kimono!"
"Uh"
Guan Gu remained silent.
"I know what happened!"
Lin Wanyu spoke up.
"Another outrageous guess."
Lu Zhanbo frowned.
"of course not."
Lin Wanyu raised her chin slightly, "What I've thought of could never be so drastic, yet it's absolutely possible."
"Welcome everyone to Wanyu's Storytelling. Let's welcome our host, Wanyu."
Su Mingyang chimed in, saying he was curious about Wanyu's guess.
"Hilarious!"
Lin Wanyu reached out and patted Su Mingyang, then said with great emotion, "Speaking of which, on a night so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face—oh no, it was a night so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face—Teacher Zeng..."
Next, Lin Wanyu told everyone a scary story.
Terrified, Chen Meijia, Guan Gu Shenqi, and Lu Zhanbo huddled in the corner of the sofa, trembling with fear.
Su Mingyang didn't seem to mind at all and listened with great interest.
However, seeing how frightened everyone was, he had an idea and pretended to be frightened as well, shrinking into Lin Wanyu's arms in a very affected manner.
It's warm, smells nice, and feels very comforting.
Lin Wanyu thought her story had scared Su Mingyang, and felt a great sense of accomplishment. She patted his back lightly and continued telling the story.
"Finally, the little girl told Teacher Zeng that her urn was leaking, so she poured the ashes into a milk powder box. That's how it happened."
As the story ended, everyone felt they hadn't had enough.
Hu Yifei suddenly popped out from behind the sofa: "Hi!"
"what!!!"
Lu Zhanbo, Chen Meijia, and Guan Gu Shenqi immediately screamed in fright.
"What are you doing, listening to Zhang Guorong tell ghost stories?"
Hu Yifei said speechlessly, "I really don't understand. You guys are all so interested in this bill from a month ago. What does that prove? Zeng Xiaoxian might be dead by now."
Su Mingyang stepped out of Lin Wanyu's embrace, sat up straight, and said, "Teacher Zeng wanted to hit someone after hearing what you said."
Did I say something wrong?
Hu Yifei said nonchalantly, "Unless you can see his credit card records for today, if he had any transactions ten minutes ago, it means he's still barely hanging on."
Lu Zhanbo suddenly realized and exclaimed with delight, "Sis, you're a genius!"
