The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Yaoyao, are you one of us? Have you forgotten your 0-10-2 score?]

[Chen Tianshi Fan Club: If there's nothing else on TV, let's watch Chen Tianshi! Let Hao Ge (Brother Hao) appear on screen! We want to watch Chen Tianshi!]

[Want to see Hao Ge take a shower: +1! +10086! Let Hao Ge show his face! We're not picky!]

Chen Siyao laughed heartily at the comments from her viewers, patting the sofa and saying, "My brother's resting upstairs! He just got back, don't bother him! Wouldn't it be better if I chatted with you guys?"

She had just adjusted the game settings and was about to start a game of Honor of Kings when suddenly the chat was flooded with comments.

A large number of unfamiliar IDs flooded in, and the content of their comments was uniform:

[User 76231]: Outdoor Xiao Yang, please connect and confront me!

[User 87459]: Scriptwriter, speak up!

[User 99201]: If you have the guts, connect with Xiao Yang from the outdoors!

[User 45278]: Stop hiding in the back and playing dead!

Chen Siyao was stunned.

"What...what's going on?"

Her longtime fans in the live stream were also stunned:

[Xiao Ke: Holy crap, is this being spammed?]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Outdoor Xiao Yang? The one who was quite popular for outdoor broadcasts before?]

[Air-freighted soy sauce: His people are storming the live stream!]

[Snowflakes are falling everywhere: Yao Yao, ignore them and just kick them out.]

Warehouse manager: Yes, just kick it, ignore it.

But the barrage of comments became so intense that it was impossible to see anything else in the live chat.

As Chen Siyao read the sarcastic remarks, her expression grew increasingly grim.

"Scriptwriter," "Stupid idiot," "Have the guts to confront me," "Feeling guilty, huh?"...

Every word felt like a needle piercing her heart.

The things she personally experienced, the secret realm she witnessed, the stone gate she touched, the Jade Pool she personally bathed in—

Why should people say it's fake?

Why should we be slandered like this?

She took a deep breath and said to the camera, "Family members, I'm going to connect with that outdoor stunt guy, Xiao Yang, right now!"

[I am Ying Zheng: Yao Yao, don't be impulsive!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Yes, ignore them, let them play by themselves!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: The more you engage with this kind of person, the more enthusiastic they become.]

Chen Siyao shook her head: "No, I want him to see that what I said is true."

She turned on the live chat feature, found Outdoor Xiao Yang's ID, and initiated a live chat request.

Three seconds later, the call was connected.

A young man in his twenties appeared on the screen, wearing glasses and with a smug smile on his face.

"Oh, Chen Siyao? Finally decided to come out?" Yang Feifan said sarcastically. "What, scared?"

Chen Siyao suppressed her anger and tried her best to remain calm: "Yang Feifan, right? You say my secret realm is fake, what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence?" Yang Feifan laughed. "The video I posted is the evidence. I went to see your so-called entrance to the secret realm in person; it's just a barren mountain. Your livestream showed a valley, while mine showed a barren mountain. Doesn't that prove anything?"

He immediately picked up his tablet and placed his own video footage alongside clips of Chen Siyao's live stream in front of the camera.

"Everyone, take a good look! This is footage I filmed on location based on clips from your live stream! This is the outdoor setting from your live stream! The exact same mountains, the exact same trees."

But I searched everywhere, and there was no sea of ​​clouds, temple, or Jade Pool at all! It was all special effects! It was all scripted!

"They even had my videos taken down."

"You dare say this wasn't CG created by your operations team?"

Chen Siyao immediately said, "That's because my brother set up an illusion array at the entrance to the secret realm; ordinary people can't see it at all!"

"A hallucinatory array?" Yang Feifan laughed loudly, turning to his camera and saying, "Family members, did you hear that? A hallucinatory array! It's the 21st century, and people still believe in this!"

His live stream chat was filled with mocking comments:

[Xiao Yang's fans: Hahaha, this is hilarious, it's like a maze!]

[Fake Exposing Warrior]: Is this woman out of her mind?

[A passerby with a sense of justice: Feudal superstition is killing people!]

[New user 5486: It's confirmed! They've even put up comparison videos!]

[New User 4841: It was definitely a fake! Disgusting!]

Chen Siyao's face flushed with anger, but she still insisted, "It's true! I saw my brother's formation with my own eyes! The stone gate, the murals, the Jade Pool—they're all real!"

Yang Feifan sneered: "Saw it with your own eyes? Of course you'd say that. Do you have any evidence? Can you prove that place exists?"

Chen Siyao opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

How can she prove it?

She suddenly felt weak.

Just as Yang Feifan was feeling smug and thought he had the victory in the bag, a golden official certification icon suddenly flashed across the live stream's public screen.

[Professor Li (Official Verification), Peking University: I am Professor Li Zhengdao of the Department of Archaeology at Peking University. I can offer some professional advice regarding the Mysterious Realm of the Queen Mother of the West.]

Yang Feifan was stunned: "A professor from... Peking University?"

Professor Li continued to post comments:

[Professor Li from Beijing University: First of all, the Shimen script that appeared in Ms. Chen Siyao's live broadcast has been verified by myself and several ancient script experts as an ancient script, and it is the oldest form of script discovered to date. It could not possibly be forged by modern people.]

[Professor Li from Beijing University: Secondly, the image of the three bluebirds on the mural perfectly matches the description in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the style is so archaic that it dates back at least three thousand years.]

[Professor Li from Beijing University: Third, among the plants by Yaochi (Jade Pool), we identified several extinct ancient species. If this is part of the script, where did the production team find these extinct plants?]

Three consecutive comments completely stunned Yang Feifan.

Immediately afterwards, another officially verified comment appeared:

[Huaxia Archaeological Research Institute (Official Certification)]: Preliminary identification indicates that the relics appearing in Ms. Chen Siyao's live broadcast have extremely high archaeological value.

[China Cultural Relics Protection Association (Official Certification): After authentication, the west Wangmu Temple, architectural patterns, and totem style perfectly match the records of unearthed cultural relics from the ancient Kunlun civilization. There are no special effects or traces of compositing. The content of the secret realm is 100% authentic.]

The moment this comment appeared, the entire audience erupted.

[I am Qin Shi Huang: Holy crap! The Archaeological Institute and the Literary Association have both come out!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: Officially certified! Let's see what you have to say now!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: Yang Feifan, didn't you want evidence? Here is the evidence!]

[Dream of the Red Chamber]: The slap in the face came too fast, like a tornado.

Yang Feifan's face turned very ugly.

He never expected that the authorities would come out to support him.

He gritted his teeth, still trying to argue: "Even if... even if that ruin is real, you discovered it beforehand and then pretended it was a live-streamed adventure! How is that any different from a script?"

Chen Siyao laughed angrily: "Discovered it beforehand? Do you know how difficult it is to enter that secret realm? Do you know how heavy that stone gate is? Do you know how dangerous it is inside? If it weren't for my brother, we would have died inside long ago!"

Yang Feifan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the tide in his live stream had completely turned:

[Passerby A: Stop talking, it'll only make you more embarrassed.]

[Netizens: Even the official authorities are backing them, yet they're still being stubborn]

[Previously: Xiao Yang, you're wrong this time, admit it.]

Yang Feifan's face turned ashen, and he finally managed to utter, "Fine, you guys are good, I admit defeat."

Then the call was abruptly ended.

Cheers erupted in Chen Siyao's live stream room:

[I am Ying Zheng: We won! Yao Yao won!]

[Yaoyao's Little Red Riding Hood: This is such a slap in the face! So satisfying!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: Yang Feifan suffered a huge loss this time; he can forget about ever working here again.]

[Awesome! Official endorsement, this move gets full marks!]
