Chapter 271 First Meeting
Seeing this, Wei Ying's long, raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled under the weight, and a look of guilt immediately appeared on his face. He stammered, "Sister, well, Lan Zhan and I were able to successfully overcome this Golden Core Tribulation thanks in no small part to 001's help. As for the points in your system, maybe, probably, perhaps, 001 borrowed a... a little bit in a moment of desperation..."
As the story progressed, even Wei Ying, who prided himself on having the thickest skin in the world, couldn't continue and automatically stopped talking.
Wei Chaoyan, who was originally furious and looked like she wanted to find the culprit and punish him immediately, suddenly felt like a deflated balloon after being pierced by a needle. Hearing that the massive amount of system points was spent to help Wei Ying and Lan Zhan successfully overcome their tribulation, she was like a deflated balloon after being pierced by a needle.
He said nonchalantly, "Hey, it's okay! Out with the old, in with the new. These system points aren't going to breed anyway. The most important thing is that you two can successfully overcome your tribulations!"
But the little voice inside her, staring at the string of glaringly large blanks on the system's backend, tried to hold back but couldn't help waving her white handkerchief, half-lying on the ground, heartbrokenly wailing about her lost points...
Although Wei Chaoyan concealed her turbulent emotions well, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were both considerate, meticulous, and perceptive people. They also knew Wei Chaoyan's character well and could clearly perceive her turbulent and collapsing inner turmoil without even looking closely.
Wei Ying gritted his teeth, looking ashamed and wanting to say something to salvage the situation, but Wei Chaoyan, who also knew the two of them well, beat him to it.
"Alright, we're all siblings, why be so formal! It certainly hurts me to see all my system points and favorability points wiped out, but they helped you two get through this ordeal, so it was totally worth it! I'm still a little reluctant to part with it, but it's just a habit, I'll be fine in a bit!"
"Neither of you should feel guilty about this! If you were in my shoes, I believe you would have chosen to do the same thing without hesitation!"
"Sister..."
Wei Ying's eyes reddened, he sniffed, and shook Wei Chaoyan's arm, unable to speak for a long time.
However, having successfully calmed her two younger brothers, Wei Chaoyan had no time to pay attention to Wei Ying's coquettish antics. She turned to Lan Zhan, whose eyes were filled with tenderness, and made an embarrassing request: "Ah Zhan, can you do your older sister a favor?"
Lan Zhan looked up: "?"
Wei Chaoyan's cheeks flushed red: "Um, well, it's the middle of the night, and my sister's lousy voice was quite earth-shattering. Not to mention our family's Qi Ye and Uncle Lan, the neighbors around here should have been woken up by my shout! Could you, could you, go out and help me calm them down?"
“Originally, I caused this mess myself, so I should handle it myself. But, just a second ago, 001 sent me a message, telling me to take Aying to meet it immediately…”
"Sister, no need to explain, A-Zhan understands!" Lan Zhan didn't care about Wei Chaoyan's behavior of running away after seemingly causing trouble. His light-colored glass eyes were filled with clear worry. "What is 001's purpose in coming here? Is it in your way? And how will Wei Ying face it?"
At the same time, Wei Ying stopped waving his arms and acting cute. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with the same worry, mixed with a strong sense of self-blame. He clearly understood that this was definitely not something 001 had suggested. It was highly likely that Wei Chaoyan had sensed the topic he was about to bring up and deliberately brought it up to divert their feelings of guilt.
As for whether 001 agrees or not? Obviously, when he and Wei Chaoyan appeared in front of it at the same time, it was definitely its idea to smash the porcelain!
Wei Ying knew Wei Chaoyan's good intentions at this moment, but he didn't expose her. He just blinked his slightly watery eyes and answered Lan Zhan's question on Wei Chaoyan's behalf, pretending to be natural and calm.
"Lan Zhan, it's alright. I came to find you late at night because I wanted to have a good talk with it about the strange phenomenon during my tribulation! It must have sensed my thoughts beforehand and informed you in advance."
"As for how to meet? It's just like when we enter the system's learning space once a month; our souls simply leave our bodies and enter the system!"
“Wei Ying…” Lan Zhan wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Wei Ying’s sophistry and unreasonable arguments. Just then, the worried calls of Qi Ye and Lan Qiren came from outside the door, and the surrounding noise and commotion grew louder and louder.
Faced with the choice, Lan Zhan chose to trust Wei Ying and Wei Chaoyan, and went out to deal with the commotion outside before returning to watch over them.
However, before leaving, he raised his hand and cast a defensive barrier to tightly protect the entire study. He also left a wisp of his spiritual consciousness on the barrier to ensure that he could know about any unusual activity inside or outside the barrier and rush to the scene to nip any bad signs in the bud!
Lan Zhan's slightly heavy footsteps faded into the distance. Wei Ying glanced at the reassuring icy-blue spiritual energy that filled the entire study and asked, "Sister, shall we begin now?"
Wei Chaoyan nodded, pulled Wei Ying, who was standing, back to his seat, and sat down in the empty seat next to him. She moved the seat a little so that she was facing him, then took Wei Ying's warm, slender index finger and firmly touched it to her forehead, earnestly giving him instructions.
"Aying, in a moment, let your soul enter my sea of consciousness following this movement. Once inside, don't move. 001 will take us directly to the meeting place!"
Wei Ying's eyes were exceptionally firm and calm as he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Sister, I know what's important!"
Wei Chaoyan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, "Alright, let's begin then, Aying!"
