Chapter 931: Centennial Birthday Banquet Tears the Heart

In a past life,

the CCTV version of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" had aired to great acclaim, and the Qingcheng Sect had invited Jin Yong to visit.

Later on,

Jin Yong indeed visited Mount Qingcheng, and the Qingcheng Sect prepared a sword formation to welcome him.

Some said it was the Qingcheng Sect's way of showing grand welcome to Old Man Jin, a grandmaster of martial arts fiction;

others thought it was their way of expressing dissatisfaction with Jin Yong's depiction of them as villains in his novels.

In truth, it was both.

The incident became a beautiful tale among people.

More than anything, it demonstrated the terrifying influence of Jin Yong's martial arts fiction.

Without that influence, no matter how one might vilify them in a book, they wouldn't care much, nor would they invite you to visit and make a grand gesture after being vilified.

This was similar in intent to the Six Great Sects inviting Chu Kuang nowadays.
