Chapter 81: Blame
Wei Chaoyan smiled sweetly at the viewers in the live stream and said softly, "Thank you for your concern. I will be careful. It's getting late, so I'll end the stream now and rest. Everyone should get some rest and recharge. Tomorrow, I'll join you on a tour of the outskirts of the 'famous attractions' in the world of Demonic Cultivation! Bye-bye, see you tomorrow!"
Wei Chaoyan waved goodbye to the viewers in the live stream and went offline, but instead of going straight back to her room to rest, she reached out and drank the cooled tea on the table in one gulp, suppressing the complex thoughts churning in her mind.
After calming down a bit, Wei Chaoyan nervously opened the private message interface for relatives and friends in the system backend. Sure enough, Wei's father, Wei's mother, and a large number of relatives who had heard the news sent "99+" messages in a short period of time. The same situation was also found in the private message interfaces of Liu Yu and Li Ye.
From the constantly flashing red "99+" on the private message screen, Wei Chaoyan could tell just how angry the person who sent the message was. The thought of having to face one, two, three... or even a dozen giant volcanoes about to erupt made Wei Chaoyan shamefully chicken out, her outstretched finger hovering in the air above the screen, too afraid to click.
When her fingers were about to give way, Wei Chaoyan swallowed hard and mustered up the courage to be the first to open her father's private message interface. She thought to herself that her father had always been understanding, obedient, and gentle towards her, so maybe he could understand her predicament this time?
Trying to communicate with him first might prevent me from getting a severe scolding. If I can persuade Mr. Wei, with his help, Mrs. Wei's anger won't be so intense, and I'll feel much better!
With beautiful dreams in her heart, Wei Chaoyan opened her father's private message interface to read the messages he had sent. Little did she know that the naive and adorable Wei Chaoyan misjudged the rage of a father who saw his beloved daughter decide to venture into a dangerous and terrifying forbidden area.
Now, completely unaware, Wei Chaoyan has unwittingly walked into her father's trap. It is foreseeable that her father's impending furious outburst will allow Wei Chaoyan to personally experience the terrifying consequences of a silent volcano erupting.
(Author's note: Let's wish Wei Chaoyan good luck, and let's first observe three seconds of silence for her. We really can't afford another second!)
Wei Chaoyan :)
Sure enough, before Wei Chaoyan could even read through a few private messages, she was caught by her father, who had been lurking in the chat window. His barrage of messages left Wei Chaoyan completely bewildered.
Just as Wei's father finally stopped his furious outburst, Wei Chaoyan, her eyes darting around like mosquito coils, had completely forgotten her earlier scheme. She could only awkwardly and guiltily smile at her father, timidly explaining in a low voice that she didn't have the audacity to try and enter the Yiling Burial Mound; she just wanted to go to the outer perimeter to take a look, as it was quite a distance from the cursed wall surrounding the burial mound!
She just wanted to develop new maps to boost the popularity of her live stream, not to give away free gifts! She wanted to give Wei's father more confidence. Even if she acted recklessly tomorrow, the people sent by Lady Yan would stop her from overstepping her bounds. Therefore, Wei's father and the others didn't need to worry or be angry! —Wei Chaoyan
Wei Chaoyan's self-righteous demeanor fueled her mother's anger, who was watching from the sidelines. She couldn't help but snatch the phone from Wei's father and personally teach the "unruly" Wei Chaoyan a lesson.
After being lectured by her parents, Wei Chaoyan no longer dared to be stubborn. No matter what they said, she was determined not to give up her decision, but repeatedly assured them that she would prioritize her safety and not go to dangerous places.
In the end, Wei's father and the others had no choice but to compromise under Wei Chaoyan's insistence. In the end, they could only helplessly and worriedly give this troublesome girl repeated instructions over and over again.
After chatting for a while, Wei's father and the others reluctantly gave the rest of their time to Liu Yu and the others. Their whole family went offline and sat around at home, sighing and worrying.
Once Liu Yuyi contacted Wei Chaoyan, he said, "Ayan, why are you so reckless? The country and the organization are here for you. The country will help you figure out a solution for the system points and learning space quotas. How can you be so impatient and make such an unwise decision on your own?"
"I just wanted to resolve the issue quickly! Besides, I only glanced at it from afar and didn't say I wanted to get closer!" Wei Chaoyan asked, feeling wronged and confused.
Liu Yu took a deep breath and tried to speak in a gentle tone, "Ayan, what Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei are angry with us about isn't your decision itself, but your bad habit of making decisions on a whim without consulting others! This impulsive habit of yours will eventually ruin you. You're all alone in this strange world now, and you're the head of a family. No one can back you up or take responsibility for your decisions. If you don't change your temper, what will happen to Wei Ying and the others if you cause a huge mess and harm yourself? What will happen to Uncle and Aunt Wei, who are grieving the loss of their daughter again? How will those who care about you feel?"
As Liu Yu spoke, Wei Chaoyan lowered her head further and further, her voice hoarse and unable to speak. After a long silence, she could only dejectedly promise that she would no longer make decisions casually in the future, and that she would always discuss such important matters with them in advance.
Seeing Wei Chaoyan's dejected expression and low spirits, Liu Yu stopped saying anything hurtful to her. After all, she was just a child, and she had already said everything she needed to say, so she didn't want to repeat herself and annoy people.
Liu Yu sighed, left with the words "Ayan, think it over carefully," and logged off, leaving the space to Wei Chaoyan alone.
Why so sudden and impatient?
Wei Chaoyan asked herself, she didn't know why, but recently there had been a strange voice deep in her heart urging her to get these things done quickly, as if something terrible would happen if the time was delayed too long. The closer it got to the end of the year, the more urgent and uneasy this voice became. It was this anxious voice that infected Wei Chaoyan, which is why she suddenly made this risky decision.
Originally, she planned to ask Lady Yan to send a few guards to take Wei Ying and the others to visit a bustling city a little further away from Yiling before the end of the year, and to show the viewers in the live stream the real ancient city scenery. She also planned to live stream how ancient people spent the twelfth lunar month and welcomed the New Year's Eve.
This was the whole thing she really wanted to broadcast to attract more people; as for going to the mass grave, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Wei Chaoyan felt extremely wronged. She couldn't say anything, and she couldn't tell anyone what she had heard. She could only swallow her grievances and let them think that she was just acting out of a moment of madness!
