w.a.n.g Wei was looking at his mother with his heart racing wondering what he did wrong this time; he did not want to be on the other hand of his mother"s punishment like his father.
Meanwhile, Yu Yan started playing and took out a card that was actually a talisman. After activating it, the voice of two people talking could be heard; however, a bunch of terrible profanities were coming out of these people.
Some of these things said were so vile that it would turn even the holiest of Saints into Devil wors.h.i.+ppers or sinners.
This card was actually one of the many ones that w.a.n.g Wei created in order to damage the Academy"s reputation and prestige. Many people who receive these cards believe that these "conversations" were real recordings of teachers of the Academy speaking with another.
After the recording ended, Yu Yan looked at w.a.n.g Wei and asked: "From what I remember, I raised you properly like an aristocrat, so where did you learn such vulgarity?"
Sweat started falling down w.a.n.g Wei"s back despite the fact that he was a couple hundred thousand meters deep under the ocean as he pondered what to say in this situation.
He could not tell her that he was raised in Online Culture in his life, and that compared to the foul things people in modern day say on the web, these conversations were actually nothing--especially compared to the more conservative values and ideas of this world.
Knowing that he might get in trouble, w.a.n.g Wei"s mind ran very fast as he thought on how to explain this situation. Finally, he said with a calm face:
"Mother, this has nothing to do with me; it was all Li Jun. He told me that he spent a lot of time around the sect"s disciples and learned many foul things, so I consulted him when it was time to make the cards.
"And it was not just him. There was also Tie Gang. He told me before he became a king in the Lower Realm, he was in a gang and was once a bandit, so I consulted him on the issue."
Yu Yan crossed her arms in front of her as she pondered these words. Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Tian was looking at his son with strange eyes.
It was obvious that he was the one who wrote these things by himself, why was he blaming others now?
However, when he wanted to say something, he saw a deep ferocious look in his son"s eyes. He knew that if he said something, then w.a.n.g Wei could just blame it on him. No matter whether his wife believed it, he would still be in trouble. So, he just nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, after a few seconds of pondering, Yu Yan nodded before muttering to herself: "It seems that I have to talk to Little Li Jun"s mother about who he is hanging with. As for Tie Gang, I will warn him not to bring these things around my son."
No matter how intelligent Yu Yan was, she was still a mother, and thus very biased against her own son; she did not want to believe that he was capable of such a thing, so she totally believed his lie that was full of loopholes.
After that Yu Yan looked at w.a.n.g Wei before saying: "Well, be careful who you hang out with in the future, I do not want them to influence you. Having a pure and peaceful mind is very beneficial to your path of cultivation."
"I know mother," replied w.a.n.g Wei with a look of innocence in his face.
Yu Yan nodded before looking at her husband: "You can look for your own accommodation for the next two weeks, sect master.
"Now, I am off to a tea meeting with my future daughter-in-law."
Then she left with a happy smile on her face, while w.a.n.g Tian"s mouth kept twitching non-stop. Nevertheless, he was happy that it was just for two weeks and not longer.
As for w.a.n.g Wei, he was just relieved that his mother bought his lie. As for throwing Li Jun under the bus, well he has been doing this ever since they were young. By now, Li Jun was not only used to it, but knows how to cooperate to take the blame.
Anyways, this guy has used him as a s.h.i.+eld countless times as well. Every time he becomes a womanizer, he will use his name to justify his action to Yan Liling, and w.a.n.g Wei always covers for him.
After seeing the defeated look on his father"s face, w.a.n.g Wei said: "Since you cover for me so well, I will talk to her for you, but I can probably reduce your sentence by only a week."
w.a.n.g Tian"s eyes lit up after hearing this; things are always better when his son intervened for him--despite the fact that this rarely occurs.
After that, the two talked about their life and joked around for a bit before disconnecting.
w.a.n.g Wei sighed as he pondered all that happened in the past decade: more importantly, the close friends.h.i.+p that Wu Hong had with his mother.
The truth of the matter, he was worried that his mother would not like her, given how overprotective she can be at times. Personally, he did not want to live through the family drama of mother vs daughter-in-law as he would be the one in the middle.
Luckily for him, he did not have to.
Nevertheless, he was still wondering how his mother accepted Wu Hong so quickly, so he asked her. The answer he got was that she was worried about him.
According to Yu Yan, her son was a very strict and disciplined person who rarely messed with other women. On top of that, she realized that he was too focused on cultivation and feared that he would become one those cultivators who did not want to have families--especially when w.a.n.g Wei told her that he would only have children after his cultivation was truly successful.
Adding to his ridiculous standards for a companion, she feared that he would be alone forever. So, she was very excited when Wu Hong came into his life.
After hearing this, w.a.n.g Wei started to remember the only time that he and his mother had a fight.
When he turned 14 years old, according to his Aristocratic training, he was supposed to sleep with one of the maids; this was a way for children from prominent families to get used to the pleasure of the flesh so that they are not easily tempted during their cultivation journey.
Of course w.a.n.g Wei refused as he did not want to sleep with anyone--especially since he did not feel like it. Not to mention that he had already pa.s.sed the l.u.s.t Trial from the PaG.o.da, so this held no meaning to him.
Unfortunately, his mother insisted that he had s.e.xual intercourse with one of them. After asking his father, he realized that his mother was worried about his s.e.xual orientation.
It was then that w.a.n.g Wei realized that this world"s culture and society was very conservative in many ways compared to modern society. As such, h.o.m.os.e.xual relations.h.i.+ps are frowned upon.
Although as long as you are strong enough, no once will publicly criticize your life style and choices, in general, h.o.m.os.e.xual relations.h.i.+p of any gender is still frown upon by society.
Even if there have been many Great Emperors who openly admitted their s.e.xual orientation, this did not change much.
After knowing the situation, he tried to talk to his mother and explained that he just did not feel like it. As a person who pursues to be free and unfettered, this was reason enough for him to make a decision about anything.
Nevertheless, Yu Yan was not relieved in the slightest. So, w.a.n.g Wei was forced to go against his wishes or desires and slept with one of the maids he chose for himself. Well, he did not complain as he did enjoy himself.
Nevertheless, he found the experience pointless as sleeping with a woman was not an indication of anyone"s s.e.xual orientation. However, since it meant so much to his mother, he did it anyway.
After that experience, w.a.n.g Wei planned to one day make the cultivators in this world more open minded. After all, as people who study the ways of Heaven and Earth, they should be more accepting of all its laws.
After taking a brief journey through memory lane, w.a.n.g Wei took out another recording from his s.p.a.ce ring; this one was sent by w.a.n.g Ju and contained everything that happened in the [Heaven Chosen Selection Trial] the past decade.
Without much hesitation, he rushed through the recordings of the first few months. As this was the first round and mostly involved these partic.i.p.ants being ma.s.sacred by hordes of devil beasts, there was not much information to gather. Especially given that the truly powerful candidates were hiding their strength.
In the second rounds, w.a.n.g Wei immediately took notice of when Mo Xingyun killed the Nine Yin Physique girl from the Lower Realm.
