But coming back to this, even if there were problems with what he said, it still went back to his previous world’s Redologists’ many years of research. So how could it be refuted after just one day here? Impossible! When they finally found a reason to refute him, Zhang Ye’s public lectures would have already been completed. His theory would have made its way into the minds of the people. By then, whether Zhang Ye wanted to continue the discussion with them or not would be irrelevant.
Because Zhang Ye’s purpose this time was just to gain fame and popularity. Other than that, he also wanted to give this world’s Redologists a new research direction. In the midst of this huge discussion, they might even be able to solve what his previous world’s Redologists could not. And if they really managed to provide ironclad facts to refute Zhang Ye’s theory to finally give the topic a conclusion, which might in turn lead to the discovery of the original remaining manuscripts of Cao Xueqin, then Zhang Ye would be more than happy to accept it. Because he himself was also an avid reader of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, he also wanted to know the truth behind ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’!
Zhang Ye was not as noble as people thought.
But neither was he as despicable as others felt.
