[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

For a moment, Wei Chaoyan fell into deep thought, and the others tacitly remained silent, providing a quiet environment for Wei Chaoyan to think.

While Wei Chaoyan was contemplating life, the others stood to the side exchanging glances.

Having met Wei Chaoyan a few times, Li Ye still regarded her as a child who hadn't grown up yet, and couldn't help but feel worried. He gestured with his eyes, "Liu Yu (Sister Liu's name), isn't this a bit too much to ask of her? After all, she's just a high school graduate who hasn't even gone to university yet." Directly asking her to decide the future direction of herself, her three younger brothers, and even everyone in both the mortal and demonic worlds is an extremely heavy matter. Can she bear this enormous pressure?

Ignoring Li Ye's worried gaze, Liu Yu gestured directly to the leaders, saying, "Don't underestimate Wei Chaoyan's resilience. Observe her series of actions after regaining her memories of her past life following her parents' death. You can see the tenacity and courage in her bones. Although her methods are immature, she has a good vision. When she knows that she cannot fight against reality on her own, she thinks about escaping the current harsh environment and finding another path that is unknown and dangerous but full of hope. She is also good at making use of the conditions around her. She is a good prospect."

Liu Yu admired Wei Chaoyan greatly and continued, "Leaders, please rest assured, this pressure won't break her. After all, this is Wei Chaoyan's own life. We are worlds apart from her. If it's not her own true wish, no matter how well we plan for her, we can't keep an eye on her every second. You know, a small mistake can lead to a huge error. Any small detail can cause incalculable consequences, and we can't afford to gamble."

"Therefore, future developments will revolve around her ideas, and we will formulate relevant plans based on her ideas, which will be more beneficial to the development of both of us."

"She's so young, her thinking isn't mature enough, what long-term future direction can she come up with? What if we blindly agree with and strongly support any unreliable ideas she comes up with? Wouldn't that be throwing away a lot of national resources? And wasting this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Old Ye, who was a bit impatient and straightforward, was full of dissatisfaction and worry.

In his view, entrusting the helm of the future development of a nation and two worlds to a young woman in her early twenties to decide the course of its voyage is an extremely unreliable thing to do, as if she has lost her mind.

"Don't rush, Mr. Ye." A sly glint appeared on Sister Liu's usually capable face. "We can't make a decision right away, but we can subtly guide her towards the path we hope for. You know, students are usually most receptive to their teachers and elders when making important decisions." Liu Yu smiled meaningfully.

The others nodded in understanding and were no longer so nervous about what Wei Chaoyan would decide. Instead, they dispersed in twos and threes, curiously exploring this mysterious and heaven-defying space. Among them, Elder Ye, Elder Huang, Master Kongming, and Daoist Guyun were the most enthusiastic.

Meanwhile, Wei Chaoyan, lost in thought, was completely unaware of the actions of the others. Instead, she kept asking herself: What kind of future do I really want?

Just as she had initially planned, she would nurture Wei Ying and the others under the protection of the nation, and at the same time, take advantage of the convenience of the system's learning space to pass on any information from the world of demonic cultivation that she could access that was beneficial to the modern nation to Elder Chen and the others, so that they could take it back and use it in a way that suited their local conditions to enhance the nation's strength.

This path would be very easy for me. I wouldn't have to think about anything. With the support of the country, I could live a comfortable and peaceful life, raising Wei Ying and the others without wasting their talents and gifts.

However, she recalled the helplessness and resentment she felt when she first arrived in Yiling and encountered Wei Ying being chased by vicious dogs, and how she tried to help drive them away but was stopped; she thought of the villagers of Wei Village who toiled year-round but remained perpetually poor, while also numbly enduring the threats of strange and evil spirits that suddenly appeared from time to time; she thought of Wei Ying's parents who died at the hands of evil spirits in this life; she thought of Wei Ying's tragic and pitiful past life in the original work; she thought of the countless homeless children in the book who experienced experiences comparable to Xue Yang and Wei Ying's childhood, but who were not as fortunate as them to have their own opportunities to grow up and become successful, and instead died quietly in some corner...

Can she turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to those things?

No!

Wei Chaoyan recalled Wei Ying's innate chivalry and courage, his "helping the weak and oppressed, having a clear conscience, and always ready to lend a helping hand when injustice is seen," and the kind-hearted, far-sighted, peace-loving, warm and refined Qi Ye. They were equally gifted and virtuous, completely out of step with the self-serving masses of the demonic cultivation world. If she had chosen the first path, could she have protected Wei Ying and his companions from following in the footsteps of Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, when they clashed with this corrupt and dark world?

No!

Wei Chaoyan no longer wanted to take the first, bright, and smooth road. Indeed, the first path could easily fulfill her wish of winning without effort, but how could she endure the darkness she could see after seeing the light?

Wei Chaoyan wasn't some passionate, fervent revolutionary, but she wanted to bring a glimmer of light to the common people in the world of magic, whose lives were as insignificant as grass and as lowly as dust, with the help of the nation and the organization! Only in this way could she make this extraordinary encounter worthwhile!
