After responding to Jin Mu, Lin Yuan also had to respond to the readers.
However, not now, and definitely not as Chu Kuang.
Lin Yuan planned to ask Yi An to help explain to the readers later.
Because right now, apart from changing the plot of the novel, anything Chu Kuang says would fall on deaf ears; it might even rile up the readers more—
At least for these few days.
Silence is golden for Chu Kuang.
And clearly, the readers are unable to comprehend Chu Kuang's thoughts.
Instead, many people think this is the "arrogance" coming from the old rascal.
Think about the previous incidents when the old rascal wrote heartbreaking plots that triggered reader riots.
Did the old rascal ever respond?
Sure, Sherlock Holmes had indeed responded.
But he didn't respond to the readers; he responded to Xian Yu.
This misunderstanding led to The Return of the Condor Heroes still facing a barrage of curses on the second day of its release.
