Nie Mingjue : What the fuck?
Jiang Cheng : Murderer?
Madam Yu : What happened? What trouble did he cause now?
"Wei Wuxian first thought was that something went wrong with the formation the boy set.
His inventions needed to be used extremely carefully, or else disaster could happen. This is also why he went to check if there were anything wrong with the motifs that were drawn."
Lan Qiren : It can't be?
"As a few pairs of hands came to drag him outside, Wei Wuxian straightened his body and allowed them to do so without difficulty, so that he wouldn't have to walk by himself. The east hall was bustling with people, almost more crowded than when the Mo villagers gathered here. All of the servants and relatives were present. Some where still in their undergarments and didn't yet have the time to brush their hair, but everyone looked terrified. Madam Mo collapsed in her seat, as if she just woke up from a swoon. The streaks of tears could be seen on her cheeks, and tears lingered in her eyes. But, as Wei Wuxian was dragged, her sorrowful gaze immediately became hateful.
A human-shaped object lay on the ground, with its body covered by a white cloth and only the head being revealed. Lan Sizhui and the other boys wore heavy expressions, bending down to check the situation and talking in soft voices. The conversation leaked into Wei Wuxian's ears."
Jiang Cheng : Don't tell me.
Jin Zixuan : A person is.......
Lei yan : Dead.
"Less than three minutes have passed since the body was discovered?'
'After subduing the walking corpse, we hurried from the West Courtyard to the East Courtyard, and found the body by the hallway.'
The human-shaped thing was apparently Mo Ziyuan. Wei Wuxian took one glace at it, and couldn't help but look at it again.
The corpse looked like Mo Ziyuan in some ways, but unlike him in other ways. Although the features were clearly were that of his petty cousin's, the cheekbones were deeply sunken, eyes bulging, and skin wrinkled. Compared to the youthful Mo Ziyuan before this, it was as if he aged twenty years. It almost seemed like his blood and flesh were sucked out of him, turning him into a skeleton with only a thin layer skin on the outside. If, Mo Ziyuan was just ugly, now, his corpse was both old and ugly."
Lan Qiren : Killed by a ghost?
Fengmian : Seems so.
Sixth shidi : But how.
Lan disciple : Who knows.
Wen Ruohan : There were many safety precautions yet.
"As Wei Wuxian was scrutinizing the corpse, Madam Mo suddenly rushed towards him, with a gleaming dagger in her hand. Being light on his feet, Sizhui knocked the dagger off, before he had a chance to talk, Madam Mo shrieked at him,'My son died a tragic dead, so I am only avenging him! What are you stopping me for?'
Wei Wuxian his behind Lan Sizhui's back and spoke again,'How does your son's tragic dead concern me?' "
Madam Jin : Firstly just accusing.
Jiang Cheng : Everything was thrilling until you spoke, Wei Wuxian.
Nie Huaisang : C'mon you gotta admit to it. It was a savage reply.
Wei Wuxian : You are speaking just truth today.
Nie Huaisang : Hehe.
Nie Mingjue just sighed.
"During the day Lan Sizhui saw Wei Wuxian make a scene in the East hall, and, afterwards, he also heard a lot of exaggerated rumors from other people. He felt extremely sympathetic to the invalid, and couldn't help but take to his side,'Madam Mo, seeing from your son's condition, his flesh and essence have been drawn out of him, which means he was killed by an evil beings, not him.'
Madam Mo's chest heaved,'You know nothing! The lunatic's father was a cultivator, he must have learned a lot of demon spells from him!' "
Jiang Cheng : How irritating.
Jin Zixuan : Really.
Nie Huaisang : She really said "You know nothing!" to a cultivator.
Mian Mian : Help! Gosh.
Wen Qing : Such a bitch.
"Lan Sizhui turned around to look at the seemingly-dull witted Wei Wuxian, and spoke again,'Uhm,Madam, there is lack of evidence, so.....'
'The evidence is on my son!'Madam Mo pointed at the corpse on the ground,'Look for yourself! A-yuan's remains already tell who murdered him!'
Not needing other people to do it, Wei Wuxian lifted the white cloth by himself, from the head down to the feet. There was something missing on Mo Ziyuan's dead body.
His left arm, severed from below his shoulder, had disappeared!'
Madam Mo spoke,'Do you see this?
Everyone who were here heard what the lunatic said, right? He said that if A-yuan touched his belongings again, he would cut off his hand!'
After the burst out of emotion, she covered her face and sobbed,'.......My poor A-yuan....... Although he didn't do anything to him at all, he was framed, but also killed, the lunatic is out of his mind!' "
Jin Zixuan : It does look like he killed him though.
Jin Zixun : It does.
Yanli : Jin Gongzi, please stop assuming things.
Jin Zixuan : Yes, I'm sorry.
Yanli : It is fine.
Jin Zixuan : Mm.
Everyone was shocked with his sudden agreement with Yanli.
Until,
Nie huaisang : Anyways, why does that woman speak of her so inocently? I don't get it!
Wei Wuxian : Annoying as hell, bro.
Jiang Cheng : Can't agree more.
"Out of his mind!
It had been a few years since he last heard that word to describe him, so it was quite cordial. Wei Wuxian pointed at himself but no words came to him. He didn't know if he was the ill one or if it was Madam Mo.
When he was younger, he talked quite a lot about exterminating families and clans, killing millions of people, creating rivers of blood, and other cruel actions. But most of the time, they were empty words. If he could do the things he said, he would have been dominating the cultivation world. Madam Mo's true intention was not avenging for him, but to find someone to let her resentment out on.
Wei Wuxian didn't wanted to be bothered with her. He thought for a moment and stuck his hands into Mo Ziyuan's arms. He fished around for a moment and pulled something out, unfolding it in front of him. Surprisingly it was a Phantom Attraction Flag."
Yanli : A-xian you aren't the ill one and I told you people to stop assuming things didn't I .
Some cultivators : Yes maiden Jiang.
Wei Wuxian : Mn. Shijie.
Xichen : So he grabbed the phantom attraction flag.
Jiang Cheng : Hope he did.
(Just to let you know he was siting next to Xichen and Xichen heard him loud and clear even though it was said in low voice.)
Xichen : Huh..?
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes : Oh no.
Xichen (thoughts) : How cute.
"Instantly he realised what was going on, and uttered under his breath, he had it coming!
When Lan Sizhui and the others saw what was taken out of Mo Ziyuan's arms, they also understood the situation. Associating this with the farce that happened today, the cause was easy to guess. During the day, Mo Ziyuan lost face because of Mo Xuanyu's crazy action and loated him, still wanting to square up with I'm. However, Mo Xuanyu loated outside for a long while, so Mo Ziyuan planned to sneak up on him at night, where he would be returning.
When night had fall, he secretly went outside, and was passing the West Courtyard and saw the Phantom Attraction Flags on the walls. Although he was repeatly told to not go outside or near the Courtyard at night, especially to stay away from this black things, Mo Ziyuan thought that he was told to do so because they were scared of people stealing their valuable weapons."
Jin cultivator : Oh my fucking!
Lan cultivator : Really. Stealing?
Lan zhan : Deserved.
'Huh' Everyone was surprised at him.
Wei Wuxian : Hehe.
"He had no ideas of this Phantom Attraction Flags, or that if he held it he would be turned into a living target. He got addicted to stealing his cousin's talismans and magic tools, and he would always itch to take odd items like this, not giving up until he obtained it. Therefore, when the owner's of the flags were subduing walking corpses in the West Courtyard, he quietly took one.
The flag formation utilised six flags, of which were set in the West Courtyard, with the boys of Lan family as baits. However, they were all carrying countless magic tools on them, and although Mo Ziyuan took a single flag, he didn't have any tools for protection on him. It was common sense to pick on the weak, so the evil beings would naturally be attracted to him. It there were only walking corpses, then it wouldn't matter that much. Even if he was bitten, he wouldn't due immediately and could still be saved.
Unfortunately, the Phantom Attraction Flag accidentally attracted something worse than a walking corpse. The unknown being was what killed Mo Ziyuan and took his arm!"
Lan qiren : That is why you don't touch a cultivators items or tools.
Nie Mingjue : And on top of that he was extra spoiled.
Everyone agreed on that.
Then came again the future's voice,
F.Wanyin : Hey! I told you to not touch the book right.
(They were arguing about Huan touching Wanyin's diary but it got loud.)
F.Huan : I didn't mean to.(Calmly)
(F.Wei ying intentionally wanted the past to hear the argument and opened the sound barrier secretly.)
F.Wanyin : But you read everything.
F.Huan : I didn't know it was your diary.
Xichen : What?
Jiang Cheng : Not that.
F.Wanyin : Still.
F.Huan : Anyways, we're getting married so what's wrong ?
Everyone : Uuuuuuu:)
Madam yu : Oh. What is this argument even about?
Yanli : Cute.
Xichen and Jiang Cheng blushed entirely from head to toe.
F.Wanyin : Huh? They heard us. WEI WUXIAN.
Then the voices disappeared again.
Wei Wuxian : (teasingly looking at his brother) Ah. What a couple!
Nie Huaisang : Yes. Indeed. What a cute argument!
Jiang Cheng : You two stop now or I'll..........
Nie Huaisang : You'll........
Wei Wuxian : Do what?
Xichen : Can you guys please.....?
Wei Wuxian/Nie Huaisang : (With a smirk) Oh yes. Of course Zewu-zun.
"Wei Wuxian raised his hand. Sure enough, one of the cuts on his right hands had healed. It looked like he had scored a lucky hit---------the sacrifical contract has already deemed the death of Mo Ziyuan as his doing.
Madam Mo was well aware of her son's foibles, she wasn't willing to admit that Mo Ziyuan caused his own death. Deiue to the impatience and rage, she grabbed a teacup and threw it in the direction of Wei Wuxian's head,'If you didn't blame it in front of so many people yesterday, would he go out in the middle of the night? It's all your fault, you son of a bitch!' "
Lan zhan : This people.
Jiang Cheng : Dodge the cup.
Jin Zixuan : Egh.
"Wei Wuxian saw it coming and doged to the side. Madam Mo turned to Lan Sizhui and screeched, 'And you! You bunch of useless fools! You cultivate and ward of evil spirit, but you can't even protect him! A-yuan is still a child!'
The boys were still young. They hadn't been outside much and were too inexperienced to find out anything wrong with the area, which was why they felt sorry for not detecting any evil being as fierce as this one. Nonetheless, after Madam Mo's senseless scolding, they all looked blue in the face. After all, they grew up in a prominent family, so nobody dared to treat them like this. The GusuLan clan was extremely strict to it's disciple, forbidding violence against every powerless man, not even allowing disrespect. Therefore, even if they felt displeased, they had to keep everything down with dark expressions."
Wei Wuxian : What the hell?
Jiang Cheng : Now she is blaming the cultivators.
Nie huaisang : What a bitch!
Nie Mingjue sighed.
Wen ruohan : Tch.
Yanli : It's not their fault.
Jin Zixuan : It isn't.
Madam yu : The audacity.
Jin GuangShan : What a person.
Madam side eyed him. He turned away.
Fengmian : No disrespect but Qingheng - jun and Master Lan Qiren.
Both of them : Yes.
Jiang Fengmian : But why have this rules, if they can't even speak up for themselves.
They (the lans) were all left speechless.
Xichen and Wangji just looked down on the ground.
Wei Wuxian : Lan zhan.
Then,
F. Wei Ying : C'mon. Have fun reacting.
F.Wanyin : You don't know when to speak.
F.Wei Ying : Heh?
They disappeared again.
Jin Zixuan : What was that for?
Nie Huaisang : Hahahaha.
"However Wei Wuxian couldn't stand it any longer, and thought, it had been so many years, but the Lan clan's values were still the same. What's the use of their of their so-called 'self- restraint'? Watch me do this the right way!"
The young cultivators cheered.
Xin ying : Wah.
Everyone else of them had the same reaction.
A Jin cultivator : Nice!
Nie Huaisang : So cool!
Jiang Cheng : Ma gash.
Wei Wuxian : Yes, yes.
Lan qiren was left speechless.
Lan elders : That could count as a disrespect.
Madam Jin : No, I don't think so.
Mian Mian : It's just a sentence.
Lee : Yep, Masters calm down.
Qingheng - jun : Just like Cangse Sanren.
Lan qiren : ಠâ _â Êâ à²
Fengmian : He is absolutely like her.
Madam yu : ಠâ â ೧â â à²
And the two sect leaders just laughed.
"He spat loudly and spoke,'Who do you think you're taking out your anger on? Did you really see them as your servants? They traveled far and wide to come here and exorcise evil spirits for you without taking a penny. Do they owe you anything? How old is your son? He should be at least seventeen, and so, how is he still a child? How young of a child does he have to be to not understand basic human language? Did they or did they not repeatedly instruct him to not touch anything in the formation and not approach the West Courtyard? Your son sneaked out at night on his own. Is it my fault? Or is it his?'
Lan Jingyi and the others let out a breath of air, faces not so dark anymore. Madam Mo was both extremely mournful and resentful, and all she could think was about 'death'. Not her own death so that he could be with her son, but the son of everyone in the world, especially the ones in front of her right now."
Jiang Fengmian : Good job A-xian.
Wei Wuxian gave him a big smile.
Madam yu : Good that you're more mature there.
Wei Wuxian : Thank you.
Madam yu turned her head to the side.
Madam Jin : Indeed, he is just saying normal words that should be said but it sounds mature.
Yanli : Yes, A-xian has become adult there. I guess he is an adult who protects the juniors.
Jin Zixuan : Seems so.
Meanwhile,
Jiang Cheng : That bitch deserved that.
Wei Wuxian : She did.
Nie Huaisang : It was satisfying.
Lan Zhan : Wei Ying.
Wei Wuxian : Mm?
Lan Zhan : You did good.
Wei Wuxian : Huh? Yes. Of course. Thank you Lan-er-ge.
Lan Zhan's earlobes went flustered upon those words.
Xichen noticed this and smiled.
Xichen : Wei-gongzi.
Wei Wuxian : Yes.
Xichen : Thank you for defending the juniors.
Lan qiren and the other Lans nodded in agreement.
Wei Wuxian : Oh no. You don't need to thank me it's not even happened and also no matter what shouldn't the elders defend their juniors as long as they are innocent and right.
Xichen : Still, thank you.
Jiang Cheng giggled a little, he didn't know why though himself.
Xichen : Uh?
Jiang Cheng : Aaaaah, nothing ( he waved his hands).
Xichen : Oh.
All the others were discussing the things while the screen went blank for break,
Xicheng-
Jiang Cheng : So.
Xichen : Yes?
Jiang Cheng : You know, what was that last night?
Xichen looked confused.
Jiang Cheng : What you said to Jingyi?
Xichen immediately realised about his 'beloved' word that was used and became a bit red.
Xichen : The thing is.......
Jiang Cheng : It was just a mistake?
Xichen : No, no.
Jiang Cheng : Then?
Xichen : Please look at me.
Jiang Cheng just stared at him.
(They were practically speaking so quietly no one else could here them and they dragged their seat even closer.)
Qingheng-jun noticed that and remembered that the Jiang clan heir was also his future son-in-law.
He smiled and turned away.
Xichen : You are so handsome, pretty and beautiful.
Jiang Cheng : Uh?
He couldn't speak what he wanted to.
Xichen : You are very cute when you are angry......I mean you are grumpy most of the time but that is cute...........and you curse a lot but that is also fine......
Jiang Cheng really looked like a boiled tomato.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji and Nie Huaisang noticed that but couldn't hear them.
Wei Wuxian : Hey! Nie xiong. Try to read their lips.
Nie Huaisang : Trying my best.
Lan Zhan : He looks red.
Wei Wuxian : Yes, isn't it suspicious?
Lan Zhan : Mn.
Jiang Cheng : Why is it fine?
Xichen : Because.........I like you.
Jiang Cheng : You like me?
Xichen : Yes.
Jiang Cheng : But....
Xichen seemed distressed.
Jiang Cheng : But.....I don't.
Xichen : Oh it's fi-
Jiang Cheng : But I do.....
Xichen : :â 'â (
Jiang Cheng : Love you.
Xichen : Huh?
Jiang Cheng : Remember when we first met?
Xichen : Mm.
Jiang Cheng : I've always loved you since.
Xichen : I also love you.
Jiang Cheng : I love you .
Xichen : I love you too.
They wanted hug but there were too many people .
Nie Huaisang : You caught something?
Wei Wuxian : They said something like 'I moon and you moon.'
Nie Huaisang : What the hell is that?
Wei Wuxian : Maybe they are talking about the moon?
Nie Huaisang : (â .â â ââ â á´â â ââ .â )Maybe.
Then again started the screen.
"She had a habit of ordering her husband to do everything, and so she knocked him,'Call everyone! Call everyone inside!'
Even so her husband was in a trance.
Possibly because of the trauma from his only child passing away, he went as far as to backhandedly push her. It caught Madam Mo by surprise, and she fell on the ground.
In the past, Madam Mo didn't even need to push him. If she would raise her voice, he would comply immediately. How could he strike back today?
The servants were all scared out of their wits from her expressions. A-ding helped her up while quivering.
Madam Mo clutched her chest and spoke in a trembling voice,'You........You.......You get out of here as well!' "
Fengmian : When a child is injured, the mother is not the only one who feels hurt, the father is also hurt as well. Or I could say in our case.
Madam yu just opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe she heard. What had been said.
Yanli : Mn.
Jiang Cheng just stared at him blankly.
Wei Wuxian smiled.
"Her husband seemed like he didn't hear anything. A-ding gave a few looks to A-tong, And A-tong hurriedly helped his master to walk outside.The East Hall was in chaos. As Wei Wuxian saw that the family had finally silenced, he intended to examine the corpse again. However, before he took another look at it, another high pitched scream pierced through the air. It was from the Courtyard.
The people in the hall all rushed to the Courtyard. There lay the two bodies of the males one alive but laid still on the ground and the other who had been shrunken to dead like his son.
Madam Mo brushed off A-ding's supporting hand a moment ago, but the second she saw the corpse. She fell unconscious. As she fainted, Wei Wuxian happened to be next to her, and gave her a hand passing her to A-ding, who came running. He looked at his right hand to see that another one of his cuts were gone."
Nie Mingjue : So this Mo kid really wanted elimination of the whole family.
Fengmian : I guess that's how it works.
Lan Qiren : Which means......
Jin GuangShan : Now it's just a few members that is left.
Madam yu : The son, the husband, the woman and what about the maids?
Madam Jin : Won't they have to die?
Qingheng - jun : They have to probably. I think.
While,
Jiang Cheng : You should have just let her fall on the ground.
Lan Wangji agreed on that.
Wei Wuxian : Nah, I'm too good of a person.
Xichen : Hmmm...
Nie Huaisang : Is something the matter??
Xichen : I wonder what killed him? I mean what kind of a ghost can it be? So furious.
Lan Zhan : Mm.
Wei Wuxian : I wonder too.
Jiang Cheng : Don't think too much, we'll see it later.
Xichen : Mn.
Wei Wuxian : What the actual F-
Nie Huaisang : I see.
"It was merely a few second as they walked out of the hall, not even passed the East Courtyard yet, and Madam Mo's husband died distressingly. Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi and the others also grew pale in the face. Lan Sizhui was the first one to calm down and asked A-tong who lay on the ground,'Did you see what it was?'
A-tong was almost scared to dead, unable to open his mouth. Even after a few moments of asking, A-tong still couldn't answer and only shook his head repeatedly. Lan Sizhui was burning with anxiety. He asked another disciple to take him back inside, and turned to Lan Jingyi,'Did you send the signal?'
Aln Jingyi,'I did but if there is no seniors to assist us in this area, it'll take an hour for our people to come here. What should we do? We do t even know what it was?' "
Jiang Cheng : I don't know. But whatever it was, it seems way stronger then they can imagine.
Wei Wuxian : You got it.
Yanli : Poor them.
Jin Zixuan : They're confused.
Lan Qiren : It seemed like a small matter at first. If we knew there was such a strong ghost....
Lan elder : We could have sent an elder. I mean an experienced one.
"Of course, it was impossible for them to leave. If the disciples of clan only cared about their well-being, it will only bring disgrace to the clan. They themselves would be ashamed to face others. The frightened family Of Mo's couldn't leave either but surely the evil being was among them. Lan Sizhui gritted his teeth,'Wait here, for the reinforcements!'
Now the signal for help had been sent, other cultivators will come to aid them within a short period of time. To prevent things to get out of hand Wei Wuxian should withdraw from the situation. If the person who came knew him or fought with him before, it was hard to say what would happen."
Nie Huaisang : I wonder who'll come.
Jingyi : Someone that will be a life changer,
Sizhui : Someone that had suffered to hear that voice,
Jin Ling : I guess someone who longed to see that face, although for the moment he couldn't.
F.Wei Ying : Hehe.
F.Lan zhan kinda felt a little anxious about the past.
Jin Zixuan : What do you guys mean?
Zizhen : You'll know.
Jingyi : Yup.
F.Wanyin : Anyways.
Fengmian confused just stared above the cave.
Jin GuangShan : Hm?
Nie Huaisang : 'Who longed to see that face?' hmm I doubt it's someone.(Turning his eyes towards Lan Wangji).
Xichen : I think as well.
"However, with the curse, he couldn't leave Mo village anytime soon. In addition, the being that was attracted had taken the life of two people in a small amount of time, which meant that it must have been extremely vicious. If Wei Wuxian left now, when the helpers came, the street of Mo village might be packed with corpses without their left arms, including the few disciples of blood-relation to the GusuLan clan as well.
After pondering for a moment, Wei Wuxian told himself, finish it quickly."
Lan Qiren : This boy.
Madam yu : What is the thing that is killing them?
Fengmian : Who knows?
Madam Jin : Oh my. I'm scared for the boys.
Nie Mingjue : No, don't be. As the future group came. They are fine.
Between the youngsters,
Yanli : A-xian don't get hurt.
Wei Wuxian : I won't.
Lan zhan with a sigh of worry : Wei Ying.
Wei Wuxian : Mn?
Lan zhan : I love you.
Wei Wuxian : Haha... Love you too.
Jin Zixuan : Feeding us dog food.
Nie Huaisang : Kya..cute.
Yanli : They are so cute.
Jiang Cheng : Zewu-zun hold your brother.
Xichen : Call me Huan. Jiang Gongzi. And aren't we pretty much the same as them.
Jiang Cheng really did not expected that and was at a lost of words but still came up with some stuttering.
He cheeks were pinkish red.
Jiang Cheng : Yes......we...we...are and you also...call me....Wanyin.
Lan Xichen flinched back and was completely mesmerized by those words. And he wanted to touch those lips with his so bad.
Jiang Cheng understood his intention : Let's first understand eachother more..
Xichen : Of course. And then I can..
Jiang Cheng : Mn.
______________________________________
I just gave this chapter to Xicheng. Next will be Wangxian don't worry. And Xuanli will come. Hahahahaha.
I'll make sure to fix the Jiang family problem and give Madam yu the right mindset and give them peace.
(I hate fanfics where they just make the Lan clan take teen Wei Wuxian away while reacting.)
I know how bad Madam yu is but try to find her husband's mistakes as well.
I don't like her at all and she makes my blood boil though.
And for Jiang Cheng too many people misunderstand him like chill.... he suffered no less than Wei Wuxian.
Bro lost everyone.
And was left to take care of a kid even though he's rich.
I mean I hate Jin Guangyao but his life was bitter as well. But if only he didn't mess with people's life my boys could have had a better life. Or maybe if Wei Wuxian successfully pulled down the eye cover? On pheonix mountain he could have been married to Lan-er-ge way before and they could have ding ding dong a long time ago.
