All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 92 - 91 The First Clickbait Title_1
The afternoon sun cast a thin layer, draping the Red Pavilion in a curtain of light, dazzling the eyes as if one were looking through colored glaze.
Yu Hongxiu, full of curiosity, took the Xuan paper handed over by the white-clad maid. She lazily leaned back in her chair, looking at the content Su Bei had written on it.
Then she suddenly sat bolt upright, her previous languor vanishing as her beautiful eyes widened in shock at the paper’s contents.
The white-clad maid watched Yu Hongxiu’s astonished face, gently covering her mouth with her hand to suppress a giggle.
She hadn’t expected the Sect Master to have such an expression.
But it wasn’t the Sect Master’s fault; the maid believed that anyone who saw the paper’s contents would react similarly.
With this thought, the maid’s gaze drifted toward Su Bei, who was calmly sipping tea with his legs crossed, looking every bit like an Immortal.
Her admiration for Su Bei knew no bounds!
She couldn’t help but shake her head, silently marveling at what could possibly be going on inside Elder Su’s mind.
This man was simply too mysterious!
Whether it was his unfathomable cultivation or his lofty, unattainable demeanor, he was a veritable slayer of women’s hearts!
At this thought, the maid’s eyes suddenly filled with adoration, her hand hidden within her sleeve gently caressing a small wooden tag inscribed with ’Su Bei’...
Yu Hongxiu took a deep breath, her eyes complex as she looked at the vigorous calligraphy before her.
Only now was she thoroughly convinced that cooperating with Su Bei was the best decision the Star Moon Sect had made since she took charge!
The content on the paper was simple, devoid of obscure words or flamboyant prose, yet the headlines were sensational, striking right at people’s hearts!
*"Shocking! What exactly happened that night with Red Pavilion’s Hua Xiaotao..."*
*"Twenty-eight stories every person from the Twenty-One Provinces must know!"*
*"Four novels you’d only dare to sneak a peek at when no one is home, three of which are masterpieces! Anyone who has read them is an adult!"*
*"The ’heavy’ backpack of a little girl, when opened, resulted in her being chased down three streets by her father..."*
*"Yuan Da Yuan’s disciple becomes famous for wearing Hanfu in the snowy city, yet her feet attract the gawking of Wudao Kou’s disciples, Locals: ’How inappropriate!’"*
*"A mysterious old man points out a ’flaw’ in Star Moon Sect, and everyone agrees: it must be corrected!"*
*"New smash-hit book in South Wind Ancient Country: All My Female Disciples Want to Kill Me!"*
*"..."*
Although a closer look revealed that the actual content often didn’t match the headlines and was somewhat exaggerated, these sensational titles were enough to instantly capture people’s attention. It made them feel as though they knew they were being baited, yet they still wanted to read on.
Especially *"All My Female Disciples Want to Kill Me!"*; upon reading the entire piece, the female disciples didn’t actually feature that prominently...
Yu Hongxiu could already envision these papers flying off the presses, eagerly snatched up by the people of the Twenty-One Provinces the moment they went on sale!
Everyone, eager to glimpse the various tabloid news on the paper and to find out what color undergarment Red Pavilion’s top courtesan Hua Xiaotao wore, would probably fight over a single copy!
But then a doubt emerged in Yu Hongxiu’s mind. She looked up at Su Bei and said,
"Elder Su, I’ve already looked through the contents of this ’newspaper’."
"But as you know, the literacy rate among the common people of the Twenty-One Provinces isn’t very high—what if these people can’t even read?"
Su Bei blinked.
That’s an easy fix!
Casually toying with the teacup in his hand, he leaned back and looked at Yu Hongxiu, saying leisurely,
"That brings us to the second aspect of our cooperation we discussed earlier."
"We’ll establish joint Star Moon Sect and Sword Sect bases across the Twenty-One Provinces, accessible only to members. There, staff will narrate the newspaper’s content to illiterate members."
"When we later add trending topics and such to the mix..."
Yu Hongxiu, as if enlightened, looked at Su Bei with a complex expression. This Su Bei was truly sent by the heavens to save her, to save the Star Moon Sect! she couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.
"Elder Su, you’ve truly thought of everything..."
That woman, Wenren Pingxin, having Elder Su by her side is such a waste of a divine gift! It’s like possessing a treasure mountain and not even knowing it!
"When are we going to start printing the newspaper?"
Su Bei’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the newspaper Yu Hongxiu held.
Was he perhaps this world’s first clickbaiter?
For the Sword Sect’s recruitment, this newspaper was essentially a natural promotional advertisement!
And the benefits would be unimaginably great!
After thinking it over, Su Bei coughed lightly and then, feigning nonchalance, said,
"Hmm! Add another piece of news. Place it on the front page as the lead story."
"Write that in the Dongfeng Ancient Country, Su Bei of the Sword Sect split the heavens with a single sword strike, suppressing the Wuhua Palace elders so thoroughly they couldn’t advance even half a step!"
"Title it *’Shocking! The emergence of the Qingping Sword, the Treasure of Sword Sect – could this be hinting at something?’*"
"As for the distribution, let Star Moon Sect handle the solo release of the first issue." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"However... since I penned the first issue, would a four-six split of the profits between Star Moon Sect and myself be asking too much?"
Yu Hongxiu raised an eyebrow. Hearing Su Bei’s boast, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
But the profound look in her eyes as she gazed at Su Bei deepened.
She knew all too well the monumental influence the newspaper would have in the Twenty-One Provinces once it was released.
Whether the common people believed it or not, the notion that Wuhua Palace couldn’t compare with the Sword Sect would, more or less, take root in the hearts of the people in the Twenty-One Provinces!
This man was terrifying! Unseen, and with just a few casual words, he had dealt Wuhua Palace a heavy blow.
She would rather face several Dao Integration experts head-on than be secretly targeted by someone like him.
But now, she had already tied the Star Moon Sect to Su Bei’s massive vessel.
Well, a sixty-forty split... that could work.
"Then let’s go with Elder Su’s wish—Star Moon Sect gets forty, Elder Su sixty..."
Su Bei was startled for a moment.
He had meant for himself to take forty and Star Moon Sect sixty.
Why was this woman so agreeable?
Did she have some ulterior motive concerning him?
HISS!
Su Bei felt a tightness in his body and involuntarily leaned back slightly.
Then he studied Yu Hongxiu intently, noticing the gentle furrow of her brows.
Underneath the bright red garments, faintly visible through the thin red camisole, her ample bosom rose high, forming a deep cleavage.
The steam rising from her tea left a slight flush on her fair, charming face, a delicate pink that made her appear all the more glamorous.
She definitely counts as a true wealthy lady...
After these recent deep observations and interactions, Su Bei finally thought he understood why women like Wenren Pingxin and Yu Hongxiu preferred not to wear certain undergarments... Perhaps they found them uncomfortable?
Ah, this world truly is wonderful!
Just as Su Bei was thinking that cozying up to this wealthy lady wouldn’t be half bad, a knock suddenly sounded at the council hall door.
Then, a Star Moon Sect disciple stepped forward and said,
"Sect Master, the City Master has arrived."
"It seems he wants to see Elder Su..."
