Chapter 105 One Hundred and Five
Chapter Summary: [After a moment, Wei Wuxian laughed, "Go back to Gusu with you? Cloud Recesses? What are we going there for?"...]
-------------------------------------
After a moment, Wei Wuxian laughed and said, "Go back to Gusu with you? Cloud Recesses? What are we going there for?"
He suddenly realized: "Oh. I forgot, your uncle Lan Qiren hates heretics like me the most. You are his prized student, so of course you are too, haha. I refuse."
Jiang Cheng stared at Lan Wangji warily and said, "Second Young Master Lan, we all understand the Lan Clan's family traditions. However, Wei Wuxian, who was slaughtered at the bottom of Xuanwu Cave at Muxi Mountain, saved your life and shared hardships with you. Now you are ruthlessly trying to punish him right now, which is rather inhumane."
Wei Wuxian looked at him and said, "Not bad, you have the demeanor of a clan leader."
Jiang Cheng said, "Shut up."
Lan Wangji said, "I don't intend to punish him."
Jiang Cheng said, "Then why did you ask him to come back to Gusu with you? Second Young Master Lan, at this critical juncture, why is your Gusu Lan Clan not working together to kill the Wen dogs, but instead clinging to those rigid dogmas?"
Facing two opponents alone, Lan Wangji did not back down. He stared intently at Wei Wuxian and said, "Wei Ying, practicing evil paths will always come at a price. There has never been an exception throughout history."
Wei Wuxian said, "I can afford it."
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Lan Wangji said in a calm voice, "This path harms the body and, more importantly, the mind."
Wei Wuxian said, "Whether it will harm my body or not, and to what extent, I know best. As for my temperament, I am my own master, and I know my own limits."
"Sigh." Upon seeing this, Qinghengjun couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master Wei is still... a bit too confident."
Upon hearing this, Lan Wangji looked down at the sleeping person in his arms.
What once attracted him most was Wei Wuxian's carefree, confident, and dazzling demeanor. But when he saw Wei Wuxian, who was like a grim reaper, reaping the lives of Wen Clan cultivators with the demonic arts he had somehow cultivated, he wished that he wouldn't be so confident.
He was able to listen to his advice and use the purification method to control his mind.
But he used the wrong method and forgot that they were both inherently proud teenagers, and neither of them would bow down to the other.
Lan Wangji said, "Some things are simply beyond your control."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Wei Wuxian's face as he said, "Of course I can control myself."
Lan Wangji took a step closer to him, about to speak, but Wei Wuxian narrowed his eyes and said, "In the end, what do others know about my character? And what business is it of theirs?"
Lan Wangji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted angrily, "...Wei Wuxian!"
Wei Wuxian retorted angrily, "Lan Wangji! Do you really have to make things difficult for me at this crucial moment? Do you want me to go to Cloud Recesses and be imprisoned by your Gusu Lan Clan? Who do you think you are? Who do you think your Gusu Lan Clan is?! Do you really think I won't resist?!"
A sudden surge of hostility arose between the two. Lan Wangji's knuckles turned white as he placed his hand on the hilt of Bichen Sword. Jiang Cheng said coldly, "Second Young Master Lan, the chaos of the Wen clan has not yet been quelled, and we are in dire need of fighting power. Everyone is already struggling to take care of themselves. Why should the Gusu Lan Clan extend its reach so far? Wei Wuxian is on our side. Are you trying to punish your own people?"
Wei Wuxian's expression softened, and he said, "That's right. As long as it's Wen dogs I killed, why should I care how I killed them?"
The two of them had been able to talk back to each other since they were young, and now they were exchanging words without any gaps. Jiang Cheng continued, "Don't blame me for saying something impolite, but even if you want to investigate, Wei Wuxian is not a member of your family, and it's not your Gusu Lan Clan's place to punish him. He will not go back with you, no matter who he goes back with."
Upon hearing this, Lan Wangji's expression stiffened. He looked up at Wei Wuxian, his throat trembling, and said, "I..."
Before the words were finished, Wen Chao let out a weak scream from the corner. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng's attention immediately shifted. They bypassed Lan Wangji and came to Wen Zhuliu and Wen Chao. Wen Zhuliu was still struggling in agony, suspended by Zidian. Wen Chao was half-dead, slowly lifting his eyelids, and the first thing he saw was two faces looking down at him.
These two faces were both equally young and equally familiar, both having once displayed expressions of despair, pain, or deep-seated hatred before him. And now, their condescending faces wore the same cold, sinister smiles, their eyes gleaming with the same chilling light.
Wen Chao neither cried out nor tried to escape, staring blankly at his fingerless hands, drooling. Wei Wuxian kicked him, forcing him into a kneeling position facing Yunmeng. The friction of exposed flesh against flesh caused Wen Chao to let out a piercing scream, particularly jarring in the empty post station. Jiang Cheng said, "Why is his voice so shrill?"
Wei Wuxian said, "Of course it's sharp when something is missing."
Jiang Cheng asked with disgust, "You cut it?"
Wei Wuxian said, "Thinking like that is a bit disgusting. Of course, I didn't cut it; it was that woman he was keeping who bit it when she went crazy."
"hiss!"
This was the sound that made all the male cultivators present involuntarily gasp.
The crowd, who had just been amazed by the rare quarrel between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, were so frightened by Wen Chao's miserable state that they clenched their legs together.
That's terrifying! The Yiling Patriarch is terrifying!
What kind of tactics are these?
Killing is fine, but don't torture people.
Lan Wangji was still standing behind them, watching them. Wei Wuxian suddenly remembered his presence, turned around and smiled, "Second Young Master Lan, the scene that's about to unfold might not be suitable for you to observe. Perhaps you should excuse yourself for a moment?"
Although he said "please," his tone left no room for negotiation. Jiang Cheng also replied politely but distantly, "That's right. Young Master Lan, Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu are now in our hands. This mission is complete, and it's time to part ways. What follows is all about family feuds and personal grudges. Please go back now."
Lan Wangji's gaze remained fixed on Wei Wuxian, but Wei Wuxian's attention had already been drawn to his lingering enemies. His eyes gleamed as he stared at Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu, his laughter both excited and cruel. Jiang Cheng shared the same expression; both were consumed by the overwhelming pleasure of revenge, and neither had the time to bother with outsiders.
After a while, Lan Wangji turned around and went downstairs.
After leaving the post station, he stood guard at the entrance for a long time, but never left.
After an unknown amount of time, the silent night was shattered by a long, mournful howl.
Lan Wangji looked up and back, his white robes and headband fluttering in the cold wind.
The night has passed, and the sun will soon rise in the sky.
The sun on Earth is setting.
Everyone: ...
Is Lan Wangji already... head over heels in love?
Nie Huaisang shook his fan and said casually, "We should wake up Brother Wei and let him see the deep affection of Hanguang-jun."
"No."
No one expected that Lan Wangji, who was usually taciturn, would speak up and deny it the very next second.
Not to mention that he didn't even know he had such deep feelings for Wei Wuxian back then, even if he did know, he wouldn't want his lover to be troubled because of the missed opportunity in their youth.
He didn't want to, and he couldn't bear to.
Wei Wuxian suddenly murmured, "...Lan Zhan."
He reached out and grabbed Lan Wangji's sleeve. Lan Wangji, who had been by his side the whole time, immediately leaned down and whispered, "I'm here."
Wei Wuxian, however, remained unconscious, his eyes still tightly shut, his hand gripping his tightly. He seemed to be dreaming, muttering, "...You...don't be angry..."
Lan Wangji was slightly taken aback, and said softly, "I'm not angry."
Wei Wuxian said, "...Oh."
Upon hearing this, he seemed relieved and loosened his grip.
Lan Wangji sat beside Wei Wuxian for a while, and seeing that he was still motionless, he prepared to get up. Unexpectedly, Wei Wuxian suddenly grabbed him with his other hand, holding onto his arm tightly and shouting, "I'll go with you, take me back to your home!"
Lan Wangji's eyes widened.
Not to mention Lan Wangji, everyone present stared wide-eyed.
Lan Qiren could only exclaim, "This is outrageous and immoral!"
What's going on here?
Seeing the face that belonged to Mo Xuanyu, everyone realized that they had come out of the memories.
The group felt a little relieved, thinking that there shouldn't be any major suffering ahead.
However, seeing the two people embracing in the sky at this moment, I still can't help but sigh:
The most painful thing is having to eat this couple's PDA!
Xiao Niangui, who was concealing his figure, curled up a cold smile: These people have probably forgotten what they have done.
