Chapter 356 You are the culprit!

Despite the doubts, when it comes to illegal and criminal activities, many people can still distinguish right from wrong.

Once the off-site video was released, no one mentioned the so-called script anymore; instead, they became interested in the value of the guqin as revealed in the video.

[My goodness, a violin costs ten million? My poverty limits my imagination. Are all musical instrument players this rich these days?]

[An ordinary zither certainly wouldn't be worth that much. It's said that the zither was a family heirloom, very old, practically an antique. Antiques, as everyone knows, are rare and valuable.]

According to those present, the instrument was indeed an antique, a very precious treasure. The person had played it for many years, and to have it suddenly broken, with such a tight schedule, meant that even a random instrument wouldn't have allowed them to perform at their best. The reason they were grateful to Ye Wanxi was because the instrument Ye Wanxi had sent back was very similar to their original one in every way, and the owner had performed exceptionally well with it.

[Based on the above statement, can I assume that the zither Ye Wanxi found is also a valuable antique?]

As everyone's attention gradually shifted to the zither that Ye Wanxi had brought, they began to discuss Ye Wanxi's wealth.

Ye Wanxi's fans immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly and systematically changed the subject.

[Your attention is all on the zither and the person who destroyed it. Am I the only one who noticed Xiao Yezi's expressions when she was called out? If this is really scripted by the production team, Xiao Yezi's acting skills are legendary.]

Only after being reminded did everyone remember to go back and look at the girl/boy under the microscope, and they actually found something interesting.

The close-up shot from the live stream camera clearly showed that Ye Wanxi was surprised and resistant when she heard Zhao Xiaoqin thank her in front of everyone.

Especially when Dean Yang mentioned her, the coldness and resistance on her face seemed tangible.

Many male and female idols nowadays will specifically learn facial expression management after their debut to ensure that they do not show excessively image-damaging expressions on stage, thus becoming ugly memes for netizens.

In this environment, Ye Wanxi's uncontrolled and incredibly expressive face became a source of amusement for everyone.

Soon, these few little expressions were turned into useful emoji packs by talented netizens.

[Little Leaf: Weak, helpless, and resistant.jpg]

[Little Leaf: Don't touch me.jpg]

Even Ye Wanxi's ambiguous smile when she asked Grandma Song a question before her performance was captured and captioned...

[You know nothing of my power.jpg]

Humans are sometimes such strange creatures. Before you show your strength, everything you do will be seen as a retreat or a guilty conscience by others.

But once you've revealed your absolute strength, those expressions become much more interesting to look back at.

With such hilarious memes and soul-stirring performances, Ye Wanxi has become a hot topic of discussion, which has also led many people to discover this little-known gem of a variety show.

The production team was ecstatic to see the show become a huge hit and the topic of discussion constantly rising.

It's worth noting that even though Xu Tianwang, whom they invited last season, had a large fan base, it only prevented their show from flopping too badly.

The few topics that occasionally come up are fans complaining about why their idols have so little screen time, questioning whether the show is deliberately teasing the fans, and even organizing to fiercely criticize the show's producers several times.

Unlike Ye Wanxi, who keeps a low profile and doesn't try to steal the spotlight, her fans are also laid-back and she's good at finding moments of romance in the snippets of her introduction.

Afterwards, it naturally generates traffic and becomes a trending topic, with the topic's popularity soaring online, requiring absolutely no effort from them.

They really hit the jackpot by hiring such a capable and reliable person!

The propaganda minister, clutching the meager propaganda budget, and Director Li and others were so excited they didn't sleep all night. The next morning, they gave their hero a big red envelope in the name of the TV station.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Ye Wanxi's suona performance sparked a heated discussion online.

On the other side, a pre-edited short video also appeared in a private group chat among several fellow students.

Xiang Yueqi (Second Senior Brother): [Video]

Xiang Yueqi (Second Senior Brother): Fifth Brother, look what you've done!

This was Ye Wanxi's first time participating in a variety show after being struck by lightning. Several of her senior brothers watched the show on their computers on time, not missing a single shot of Ye Wanxi.

However, when he saw Ye Wanxi playing the suona with great joy, the male mother almost burst into tears on the spot.

That's our junior sister! Our junior sister, whom they've raised like a princess from a prestigious family since she was little. Whether she's sitting at her desk playing the zither or the flute, or at the very least, half-concealing her face while playing the pipa, how ethereal and graceful she would be! Why did they have to choose this most ridiculous and shocking one?!

Of course, the senior brothers wouldn't blame Ye Wanxi, because they knew who the real culprit was.

Qi Yingxuan was also quite guilty, but at this time he absolutely could not show his fear, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep his mouth shut.

Qi Yingxuan (Fifth Senior Brother): Junior Sister, isn't this a pretty good boast? I see that people online are quite accepting of it and are praising her.

Xiang Yueqi (Second Senior Brother): How dare you say that! If you hadn't secretly taught Junior Sister this behind our backs, would this have happened?

Xiang Yueqi gets furious whenever this is mentioned. When her junior sister was picked up by her master, she was still wrapped in swaddling clothes and could barely open her eyes. She was raised on the mountain and never left the house.

Besides cultivation, the junior sister would always learn something to pass the time. In addition to her own senior brothers, the senior brothers and sisters from other peaks also liked her very much and would take the initiative to teach her some things to learn before entering the sect.

The junior sister learned several musical instruments from the senior sisters in the neighboring peak, which is Yun Ke's group.

At first, everything was normal. He learned instruments like the guqin, pipa, xiao, and dizi. Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would even show off by playing them for others.

Until one time when the eldest brother went on a long trip, he and his fellow disciples also went down the mountain with their master. On the way back, they were caught by the senior brothers and sisters from the neighboring peaks and rushed back to the mountain, but they were still a step too late.

After tormenting her own family and several neighboring peaks for three or four days, Ye Wanxi learned the funeral song that the fifth brother had learned from outside. She played it so cheerfully that it completely stunned her senior brothers and chilled their hearts.

After this incident, Qi Yingxuan was beaten up by several of his senior brothers. When his eldest brother returned, he chased after him and beat him for two hours. In the end, he barely managed to get away with it by breaking one of Qi Yingxuan's legs.
