Su Yu no longer cared about the arena area.
Quickly return to the research center.
Chen Yong said nothing and followed him. After walking for a while and getting away from that side, Chen Yong said in a low voice: "Today we have officially torn our relationship apart!"
Su Yu turned his head to look at his uncle-master and said softly, "Uncle-master, do you think we still need to lie dormant?"
"It's not that I'm dormant... I'm really inferior to others in strength."
Chen Yong sighed.
Su Yu nodded and said as he walked: "I know, but if we don't fight back, they will become more and more excessive. If this continues, we will really be finished! While Zheng Yuming was severely injured by the governor, Shan Shenwen's faction has many concerns. This is the best opportunity to fight back!"
Chen Yong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then we need to find your master back."
When talking about this, Su Yu was also depressed and asked: "Why hasn't the master come back yet?"
Without the support of mountains and seas, I always feel uneasy.
"You are not my master yet!"
Speaking of this, Chen Yong was helpless. "A new race appeared in the battlefield of the heavens, and their whereabouts are elusive. Your master went to the battlefield of the heavens to look for him, but who knows where he went. Communication is useless there, as there is a world channel between them. Your master had previously instigated your master to look for him, otherwise, your master might not have left."
After a few simple words, Chen Yong asked again: "Is the matter of "Soul Devouring Art" true or false?"
"real!"
Su Yu nodded and said, "Otherwise I wouldn't dare to say it in public. Now I just hope they will be cautious. After all, the academy has more than just the Divine Literature Department. There are many other factions."
After that, Su Yu continued, "Uncle Master, I don't think they are anything to be afraid of. Although the Shan Shenwen School is very powerful in the academy, I think the other parties in the academy are also strong. They can't cover the sky with one hand."
He felt there was no need to worry too much.
It’s not like the Department of Literature is the only one in charge.
Chen Yong hesitated for a moment, but still said, "You are wrong! In the Great Xia Civilization Academy, the single-shenwen department cannot be the master, but in other academies, many strong people in the single-shenwen department are the deans!"
"The Single Divine Literature Department does not refer specifically to our school, but to the entire human realm!"
Chen Yong sighed, "Similarly, the Polytheistic Script Department does not refer to us alone, but to all the practitioners of the Polytheistic Script Department in the entire human realm! From the perspective of the entire human realm, after decades, there are probably less than a thousand practitioners of the Polytheistic Script Department. In fact, 500 is considered good! And in the Polytheistic Script Department alone, there are more than ten thousand people in our school alone, not to mention the entire human realm!"
Su Yu frowned and said, "Other factions are also surviving well. Some factions have even fewer people than us. Why do they have to target us?"
From what Master said, they are not from the same family!
Rather, the entire human realm is rejecting the polytheistic scripture system!
Why is this
Chen Yong was silent.
Su Yu frowned upon seeing this. Could it be that there was something deeper that couldn't be said
Chen Yong was silent for a while, then said, "Go to the research center and talk to your teacher. Let's talk together!"
"good!"
…
A few minutes later, the two returned to the Wentan Research Center.
Bai Feng was confused when he was dragged out of the laboratory.
What happened again
"Brother, why are you here?"
"… "
Chen Yong looked at him sympathetically and said, “As a teacher, you only have the right to know about things after the fact.”
Su Yu quickly said, "Teacher, I made money today. I earned several thousand merits!"
Bai Feng's eyes lit up!
Made money again
The next moment, his face darkened, "How did you make money? Who did you cheat again?"
"… "
Su Yu was speechless and explained: "No, I went out to compete and lost, and then I earned it."
Bai Feng was confused and quickly asked, "A fake match?"
As he spoke, he nodded and said, "Well done! I, your teacher, also played fake matches in the past. When I was competing for the top 100 list, a few guys paid bribes to me. In order to improve my ranking, I also played fake matches, but usually the bribes were not much. Who on your side wants to play fake matches and pay so much?"
Dark history!
On the side, Chen Yong's face changed, and he couldn't help but curse: "Did you play a fake match on the top 100 list a few years ago?"
Bai Feng said as a matter of course: "What's wrong? I don't have money to practice, so what's wrong with playing a few fake games, brother, don't be so pedantic!"
"… "
Chen Yong didn't know what to say and could only feel helpless.
It turns out that Su Yu is not the only one who would engage in match-fixing. There are already signs of this on Bai Feng's side.
Why!
Only sigh!
Su Yu coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Yes, teacher, I also played fake games and lost more than 8,000 times..."
Bai Feng just looked at him like that!
Boy, as soon as you said that, I felt something big was going to happen.
Under what circumstances can one lose more than eight thousand times
Su Yu quickly recounted the incident briefly. Bai Feng looked at him for a while before saying, "So, now we are completely at odds, right?"
"right!"
"oh!"
Bai Feng curled his lips, thought about it, and was not surprised. He just said a little depressed: "Idiot, wait for your master to come back and deal with him! Can't you just endure it for a few days? Your master hasn't come back yet, so it's not easy for us to bear the blame, do you understand?"
As for falling out, it’s no big deal!
Anyway, the fight has already been a life-and-death one.
The point is, this idiot did it without even waiting for his master to come back!
Bai Feng said helplessly: "Be patient, don't go out recently. I tell you, these people may be evil-minded! Even if they are not evil-minded and dare not kill you, someone will kill you. I tell you, don't think too well of others. It's normal for a group of guys who call you brothers to kill you and frame them!"
"There are also some spies from the Ten Thousand Races Sect who are eager to kill you and let your master fight with them..."
Bai Feng said casually, exhaling, "It's okay. Just stay in the institute and don't leave the school. It won't be a big problem."
Su Yu nodded, this is true.
Even if Shan Shenwen's faction doesn't dare to kill him, there are some guys who are eager to create chaos in the world and may have the same idea.
"I know, that's why I told everyone about the Soul Devouring Art and asked them to keep an eye on it. This way, everyone will be more or less cautious."
"Did you figure it out?"
Bai Feng doubted, "Don't fake it, just like last time. I'm telling you, if you fake it again, you'll die a miserable death!"
Bai Feng is quite calm!
I was a little surprised at first, but then I had no reaction at all.
Chen Yong was dumbfounded. Such a big thing, and you bastard don’t take it seriously
I couldn’t help but curse: “Bai Feng, this is a big trouble, do you understand?”
"Brother, don't make a fuss!"
Bai Feng said indifferently: "We have been at odds for a long time. It's not the first day. It's not a good idea to keep it to ourselves. They are looking for trouble. What's wrong with fighting back once? They asked for this embarrassment!"
Chen Yong was speechless, exhaled, and said: "It's not that simple! Su Yu asked me before, why the Shan Shenwen faction has been targeting us..."
"For resources. They are afraid that if we turn things around, we will take their place again."
“Nonsense!”
Chen Yong cursed directly!
Bai Feng looked at him blankly. What happened
Am I wrong
Chen Yong took a deep breath and said, "You must understand that the single divine text department and the multi-divine text department do not refer to our school, but to all the universities in the human realm, and even other places, including the military and holy places!"
"If it's for some resources and status, why is the entire human realm ostracizing us?"
"Bai Feng, you have to know that it's not just our family that is being ostracized, but the entire human world, the Great Zhou Mansion, and the Great Shang Mansion are being ostracized!"
Chen Yong said in a low voice: "Do you know? It's the entire human realm!"
Su Yu frowned and said hesitantly, "Uncle Master, is this a dispute over ideas?"
If it is a concept, then this thing will be very troublesome!
Among intellectuals, life-and-death feuds are nothing, but once there is a conflict of ideas, it becomes hatred that will last for generations!
It is almost impossible to coexist peacefully unless one side is exterminated.
"idea?"
Chen Yong shook his head. "The philosophy of a civilized teacher is to become stronger. There is no such thing as philosophy or disputes over orthodoxy."
"Then... why?"
This time Su Yu really couldn't understand!
Bai Feng was also puzzled and asked, "Why, is there a secret? Isn't it because we consume more resources than others? So those bastards can't stand it and think we are better than them, so they target us?"
Chen Yong said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, why didn't they target us decades ago?"
"We are strong!"
"The Shan Shenwen family was also powerful at one time. At that time, at most we looked down on each other. It was not to the point now that they wanted to suppress us and even destroy our inheritance!"
Bai Feng and Su Yu both showed interest, could there be other reasons
Bai Feng thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, everything is caused by the battle of the Fifth Generation. It was after our master lost the battle that we were targeted. So, even if there is any secret, it is related to the Fifth Generation?"
Chen Yong nodded slightly.
After thinking for a while, he stopped talking and said in a voice transmission: "The reason why the Polyshenwen school is being targeted is not because of a problem of philosophy or resources, but because of personal vengeance!"
"personal enmity?"
"right!"
Chen Yong transmitted his voice: "It has a lot to do with the Fifth Generation. Su Yu should also know about the Fifth Generation's death in battle, right?"
Su Yu nodded.
Chen Yong continued, "Back then, three invincibles died in battle. You also know that, right?"
Su Yu nodded again.
"These three invincibles, two are from the myriad races, and one is from the human race!"
Chen Yong sighed and said, "The invincible who died in the battle was from the Great Zhou Palace! He was the younger brother of the King of Great Zhou. He was promoted to the invincible position not long ago. His son... is now the president of the Great Zhou Civilization Academy!"
"When the Fifth Generation achieved enlightenment, he did not invite Wudi to help. The Fifth Generation was too arrogant and thought he could complete the enlightenment on his own. He only brought some enthusiastic civilized masters with him. The purpose was not to help in the battle, but to let them observe the enlightenment process."
"As a result, something went wrong. Not only did the Duoshenwen sect suffer, but the one who came to help was also killed in the battlefield of the heavens."
"The King of Great Zhou didn't say anything, but the guy from the Great Zhou Civilization Academy was already at odds with the Fifth Generation. His father died on the battlefield for the Fifth Generation. Do you think he can accept this?"
Chen Yong sighed, "Since then, the Great Zhou Civilization Academy has begun to exclude the Polytheistic School! The Great Zhou King remained silent, and the Great Zhou Palace Master Zhou Potian also did not say a word. The Great Zhou Palace was the first to stir up a storm of excluding the Polytheistic School."
"After that, the Shan Shenwen factions from other prefectures followed suit. Some were fighting for power, some were united in hatred of the enemy, some wanted to please the King of Great Zhou, and some really hated the Shan Shenwen faction powerhouses from the Fifth Generation."
"Coupled with the decline of the Polyshenwen school, many factors have led to the major prefectures in the entire human realm rejecting the Polyshenwen school."
Chen Yong sighed, "This is not the most important thing. There is another key point! Wu Dai once left some information about the civilization master's eternal enlightenment, as well as a divine text. The person from the Great Zhou Civilization Academy said that his father died to save Wu Dai, and these things were obtained by his father with his life. He asked for the information to be made public, at least to him..."
Su Yu couldn't help but say at this time: "This... should be shown to them, after all, it is to rescue the fallen five generations."
He didn't expect there would be such twists and turns.
Before, when Bai Feng said that three invincible men died in the battle, Su Yu didn’t think much about it.
Now it seems that this is quite complicated.
An invincible human was killed in battle!
Chen Yong smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "It should be given! But... No!"
"No?"
"No!"
Chen Yong said with a headache: "The fifth generation master had two students, one was Uncle Liu Wenyan, and the other was our teacher, your master. Everyone knows that the divine text was passed on to Uncle Liu Wenyan, but according to the outside world, the information was passed on to us, but... it's really not there!"
Chen Yong sighed, "The teacher has been looking for it, and even looked through all the information countless times, but there is really nothing! But no one believes it, and they all think that the teacher has embezzled it and is unwilling to make it public! As you can imagine, this move has completely offended everyone!"
Chen Yong said, more helplessly: "Since then, Da Zhou Mansion has formed a group of forces mainly composed of single-divine texts, specifically targeting us! Targeting the entire polytheistic text system! Because of the battle that year, many polytheistic text system masters from many schools went there, not only to rescue the Fifth Generation, but also to rescue them..."
"Aren't you wondering why we were allowed to be suppressed when there were still strong people in the Multi-God Text School?"
Chen Yong sighed, "That's why! Because we can't show up, we can't stand out! It's better when they are alive, but when those powerful people of the Multi-God Text School die one after another, we will be completely sad!"
Su Yu frowned and said, "Uncle Master, let them find it themselves. We really don't have it. Should we conjure it up for them?"
"it's useless!"
Chen Yong sighed, "People only believe what they want to believe. It's useless to say anything you don't want to believe! Besides, the Duoshenwen school is declining, and the other party is in its heyday. They are just suppressing you, and they haven't come to you directly to cause trouble. What can you do?"
Bai Feng said depressedly, "Is there still such a thing? I was thinking, I went to the battlefield of the heavens before, and the Great Zhou Mansion over there was vacant. When they saw me, they treated me like an enemy. Brother, why didn't you tell me before?"
Chen Yong said unhappily, "What's the point of saying this? And strictly speaking, we can't say anything about this matter. We are also innocent. If there is any information, we are willing to provide them with a copy, but the key is that there is none!"
Bai Feng suddenly asked cautiously: "Brother, could it be that Master has hidden him?"
"roll!"
Chen Yong cursed angrily!
She looked at him angrily and said, "How could Master hide it? It's true that we don't have it. Before the thing came into our hands, many people checked it and found nothing! Do you think other people don't care about the information about proving the invincibility of the Tao? The Seeking Realm and the War God Temple are very concerned!"
"In the end, nothing was found!"
Chen Yong shook his head and said, "But... Master said it might really be possible!"
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Yong exhaled and said, "Master said that some of the things that belonged to our master during his lifetime are missing! But our master lived in the Xiuxin Pavilion during his lifetime. When the relics were taken out of the Xiuxin Pavilion, many people in the mountains and seas were watching. No one had ever entered the Xiuxin Pavilion. Moreover, our master had set up a magic formation during his lifetime, so no one could go in and steal..."
"So, Master couldn't tell me. Anyway, there are a few things missing. Maybe there really is information, but it has been lost. It's been decades, and I don't know whether Master took it away himself or not. There's no way to find out now!"
Chen Yong said, sighing: "Unless... someone went to the place where the master lived in advance, took away the things, and then hid the news. We have to take the blame for this!"
"Someone took it away in advance?"
Bai Feng hesitated and said, "What do you mean? With the strength of our master, who can enter the formation he set up except for the invincible one?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Feng's face changed!
Su Yu's expression also changed.
He understood!
No wonder Hong Tan never mentioned this matter again and forbade Chen Yong to talk about it again.
Who can take away the five generations of things in advance
Invincible!
After the fall of the Fifth Generation, if the data really existed and was later lost, there must have been an invincible person who arrived in advance and took the things away.
But... But how did the other party know that Wudai would die
The first one is here!
You know, after the Fifth Generation died in battle, the King of Great Xia soon escorted his remains back to the Great Xia Palace. That means this person knew that the Fifth Generation had fallen before the King of Great Xia returned!
The three of them were silent!
Chen Yong was silent for a while, and continued to transmit his voice: "These things involve a lot of things, so Master will not mention it again. After all... we can't bear anything at all! Including the death of the fifth generation master... If the information is really lost, it means... you should understand!"
Su Yu and Bai Feng changed color again!
Predicting the fall of the Five Dynasties in advance
This is impossible!
There is only one possibility, someone has plotted against them!
traitor!
A potentially invincible traitor
Chen Yong said sadly, "So, keep a low profile and lie dormant! Pretend you know nothing! If you are suppressed, then be suppressed. Teacher, you can't even break through rashly, and you can't even enter the Sun and Moon. Once you enter... maybe the other party will be suspicious, and even worry about leaving behind some troubles..."
Su Yu couldn't help but said: "Tell the higher-ups..."
Chen Yong looked at him and said sadly: "Do you know... who it is?"
"… "
Yes, who is it
Telling others rashly will kill them...
"Then make a big fuss!"
Su Yu hurriedly said: "It's a big fuss!"
"Where's the evidence?"
Chen Yong regained his composure. "Where's the evidence? Everyone will only think that we are shirking responsibility! We want to slander an invincible! We want to create internal strife among the invincibles! You have to know that the front line depends entirely on these strong men! If there is an internal strife, can you bear such responsibility?"
Chen Yong sighed, "We can't afford it! Once the human race is invincible, everyone will be in danger and suspicious of each other. Other powerful races will come to attack, and the strong men on the front line will be at odds. What do you think will happen? Therefore, even if you know, even if you have guesses, you have to hold it in! Unless there is solid evidence to prove who it is! Only with ironclad evidence can we have a chance to turn the tables!"
"The evidence is overwhelming..."
Chen Yong shook his head. Where did the irrefutable evidence come from
He looked at Su Yu and said, "So, this complete breakup with Shan Shenwen's faction may not be a good thing! In my opinion, Shan Shenwen's faction's suppression of us is actually a form of protection..."
Su Yu frowned.
Bai Feng said with some repression: "Brother, now if you come forward, you will die, and if you don't come forward, you will also die! If this continues, the Duoshenwen lineage will really be destroyed!"
"yes!"
Chen Yong sighed, "So Master actually suspects... that person is also behind this! Of course, it's hard to say, because all the blame may be directed at King Zhou, but... But King Zhou doesn't have to do this. Master suspects that someone is using the Zhou family of the Great Zhou Mansion as a cover, and there are some people secretly fanning the flames. They really want to exterminate us and completely cut off the inheritance of the Polyshenwen lineage!"
Bai Feng and Su Yu were both silent.
From what he said, it seemed like there would be big trouble if he stood out.
But if they don't step forward, they will already be in trouble. They are on the verge of extinction.
Su Yu was also speechless!
Behind this, there are actually many invincible people involved.
The King of Great Zhou counts as one, the King of Great Zhou’s brother who died in battle counts as one, and there is also an invincible person who may or may not exist counts as one.
Su Yu scratched his head, "Uncle Master, what about King Da Xia..."
Chen Yong said calmly, "The King of Great Xia should not favor any side! The fifth generation master insisted on his own way and died in the battlefield of the heavens, and the Great Zhou Mansion was implicated and an invincible man died in the battle. Tell me, what can the King of Great Xia do? In the factional struggle, your Duoshenwen faction is inferior to the other party. If the struggle fails, can the King of Great Xia still come to support you?"
"You can't even defeat others, do you expect the King of Daxia to intervene and help? He is the invincible of Daxia Mansion and the entire human race, but not the invincible of the Polyshenwen faction. He also needs to balance the interests of all parties and cannot act completely according to his own preferences. Otherwise, he does have a good relationship with the Polyshenwen faction and the Fifth Generation."
Headache!
Su Yu and Bai Feng both looked depressed.
Su Yu said, "Uncle Master, do you mean that we should... continue to be turtles?"
"… "
Chen Yong looked at him and couldn't help but laughed and scolded: "Are you making indirect accusations?"
Su Yu: “…”
Wronged!
I don’t!
I just feel very aggrieved.
Chen Yong added: "There's no need to shrink back. In fact, it doesn't matter to us that much. Even if the other party really exists, he is not concerned about us, but my master and Uncle Liu!"
Chen Yong exhaled and said, "Master Liu has inherited the divine text, so he is probably the object of the other party's attention! So, Master Liu, it is actually a good thing to keep quiet!"
At this point, Chen Yong suddenly said: "But now Master Liu has broken through the levitation!"
Su Yu looked at him and asked hurriedly: "Uncle Master, what do you mean?"
Chen Yong rubbed his temple and sighed, "I was actually thinking about a question before. When Master Liu broke through, the Myriad Races Sect attacked Nan Yuan. Was it intentional or unintentional? Or did someone take the opportunity to observe Master Liu?"
Su Yu blinked. What's going on
This means that there may be some hidden story behind the attack on Nan Yuan!
Bai Feng was surprised and asked, "Really? I rushed over immediately when there was trouble that time..."
Chen Yong glared at him and said, "You went too late! You went there after Master-Uncle had a breakthrough!"
"No, I rode as fast as I could without stopping for a moment, and I got there!"
Bai Feng explained: "After my uncle-master notified the academy, I rushed over very quickly without any delays on the way!"
Chen Yong said calmly: "Perhaps the time you arrived was also calculated. Before that, the Ten Thousand Races Sect launched an attack!"
"No way?"
Bai Feng was surprised and asked: "This... is an accident?"
"Accidental or deliberate, who can tell?"
Chen Yong murmured, and said slowly: "Let's not talk about my uncle's side, just the academy, I feel that things are turbulent recently! I always feel that there is a big hand controlling everything. Zheng Yuming was abolished, Shan Shenwen's school stepped up its efforts to suppress us, including the Great Zhou Mansion, Shan Shenwen's school genius challenged all parties... They are all putting pressure on us, a lot of pressure, making us breathless!"
Chen Yong panted, "A big hand is pushing us, trying to make us explode! I don't know what it means, whether it is intentional or unintentional, whether it is the person who may or may not exist, or someone else. I always feel that we are now on the crater of a volcano!"
“Someone’s pushing it?”
Su Yu frowned. Who
That could be the invincibility of the traitor
Or someone else
Forcing the Duoshenwen system to explode
for what
His appearance was an accident, and the other party should not be interested in plotting against him. Thinking of this, Su Yu hurriedly asked, "Is Grandmaster okay? Also, is there anything wrong with Teacher Liu recently?"
If someone really wants to push for it, the target won't be these three people.
It can only be two others!
Chen Yong shook his head. "You don't have to worry too much about your master's side. The key is Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu has been in Nanyuan for many years and generally won't leave Nanyuan. In Nanyuan, there are actually people watching Uncle Liu. Of course, generally speaking, no one would touch Uncle Liu..."
“That’s good!”
Su Yu is relieved, then there is no problem.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Since someone is watching Teacher Liu, why didn't anyone intervene when the Ten Thousand Races Cult attacked Nanyuan?"
Chen Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Just because I keep an eye on my uncle doesn't mean I will help him. Do you understand?"
"oh!"
Su Yu understood. It would be more accurate to say that he was monitoring rather than watching. It didn't matter whether Liu Wenyan was alive or dead.
Just need to keep an eye on him!
Su Yu didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns, and it seemed that Chen Yong was not going to tell them at the beginning.
Now that he said this, Su Yu roughly understood what he meant.
"Uncle Master, do you mean that it is better to maintain the previous state and continue to keep a low profile?"
He is now somewhat suspicious. Have Hong Tan and Chen Yong been deliberately playing cowards and never come out to do anything
Even those who are suppressed can hardly survive!
Chen Yong thought for a moment and said, "You are a newcomer. If you want to make some trouble, then go ahead! It is better for you to start with it than for us to do it. But you should choose to forget everything I said today! Also, unless it is absolutely necessary, your master... even if he comes back, will not come forward to solve anything."
After that, Chen Yong took a deep breath and said, "You decide for yourself. Maybe... hiding all the time is not a solution. If you show up, you may get some unexpected gains. But Uncle Shi reminds you to be careful!"
Su Yu nodded. As expected, the more you know, the more dangerous it is!
Don't tell me everything next time!
Is it bad to leave me ignorant
You have to tell me, I'm a little scared now.
Really, my teacher didn’t know this for all these years, why did my uncle have to tell me
He turned his head and glanced at Bai Feng, who was also thinking about this question. He suddenly said, "Brother, what do you mean? Why didn't you tell me back then? Now that this kid got into trouble, you told me?"
Chen Yong said slowly: "Because... you can't do anything as bad as him!"
It's that simple!
Although you, Bai Feng, are not a good person either, everything is still under control. Your apprentice... If you leave him alone for three days, he will cause great trouble in the school!
See for yourself!
What have you done in the two months since you came to the university
What has happened to the entire Shan Shenwen family
Now even Zhou Mingren, who was at the top of the mountain and sea, was offended. Originally, Zhou Mingren just waved his hand and asked his subordinates to deal with Su Yu, but now... Zhou Mingren must be very impressed with Su Yu!
All in all, what was said today was meant to scare Su Yu, to make him behave himself, otherwise no one would be able to hold on.
Bai Feng looked embarrassed!
Look down on me
Think I can't do anything
Let’s wait and see!
When I come up with the innate divine text, it will not just be a matter of one school. The entire human world and all the heavens and worlds will think that I, Bai Feng, can do it!
How could I, Bai Feng, be inferior to my student
Of course, Bai Feng knew that if it was really figured out, it might be a big trouble.
Could this be the research result of the Five Dynasties
After all, the research on innate skills and essence blood started based on some remaining information from the Fifth Generation, otherwise Hong Tan would not have continued to study this.
PS: I feel groggy while writing, so I'm going to take a nap and continue writing after I wake up in the evening. I haven't had much passion these past two days, and writing requires passion!
