Chapter 18: Ya Sao 8 Rabbit, get beaten, goodbye

Wei Wuxian bought a bunch of random stuff in Caiyi Town and brought it back to the Cloud Recesses, where he divided it up among the other children of the noble families. Because Lan Qiren went to Qinghe, there were no classes for the past few days, so the teenagers had fun all day and night, and they all rushed into Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng's room to sleep on the floor, eating, drinking, arm wrestling, throwing dice, and reading picture books all night long. One night, Wei Wuxian lost the dice game and was sent to climb over the wall and go down the mountain to buy Tianzixiao, which finally satisfied everyone. Who knew that before dawn the next day, when the floor of the room was full of people sleeping in all directions, like corpses lying on the ground, someone suddenly opened the door.

The sound of the door opening startled several people. They woke up instantly when they saw Lan Wangji standing at the door with a cold face. Nie Huaisang pushed Wei Wuxian, who was sleeping with his head down and his body up, and said, "Brother Wei! Brother Wei!"

Wei WuXian was pushed around by him for a few times, and asked in a daze, “Who? Who else is coming?! Jiang Cheng? Let’s fight, why would I be afraid of you?!”

Jiang Cheng drank too much last night and still had a headache. He lay on the ground with his eyes closed. He reached for something and threw it at the place where Wei Wuxian's voice came from, saying, "Shut up!"

The thing hit Wei Wuxian's chest, and several pages flipped. Nie Huaisang looked closely and saw that Jiang Cheng threw it at Wei Wuxian, which was one of his rare erotic picture books. When he looked up again, he saw Lan Wangji with a chilly look in his eyes, and he almost vomited smoke from his mouth. Wei Wuxian muttered a few words while holding the book, and fell asleep again. Lan Wangji walked into the room, grabbed him by the back of the collar, lifted him up and dragged him out the door.

Wei WuXian was held by him for a while, and was dazed for a moment before finally waking up a little. He turned around and asked, “Lan Zhan, what are you doing?”

Lan Wangji said nothing and dragged him forward. Wei Wuxian woke up a little more, and the other corpses lying on the ground were also awakened one after another. When Jiang Cheng saw Wei Wuxian being held by Lan Wangji again, he rushed out and asked, "What's going on? What are you doing?"

Lan Wangji turned around and said word by word : "I will take the punishment."

Jiang Cheng was drunk and slept slowly. He then remembered the mess on the floor of the room and how many rules of the Cloud Recesses they had broken last night. His face froze.

Lan Wangji dragged Wei Wuxian to the Gusu Lan Clan's ancestral hall, where several elderly Lan Clan disciples were waiting. There were eight of them in total, four of whom held extremely long sandalwood rulers with densely engraved characters on them. They all looked stern and solemn. When they saw Lan Wangji dragging someone over, the two of them immediately stepped forward and held Wei Wuxian firmly. Wei Wuxian half-knelt on the ground and struggled, saying, "Lan Zhan, are you going to punish me?"


Lan Wangji stared at him coldly without saying a word.

Wei WuXian said: “I don’t accept it.”

At this time, the young men who had woken up also rushed over, but were stopped outside the ancestral hall and were not allowed to enter. They scratched their heads and looked at the ruler, shocked. But they saw Lan Wangji lift the hem of his white clothes and kneel beside Wei Wuxian.

Seeing this, Wei Wuxian was horrified and tried to get up, but Lan Wangji shouted, “Fight!”

Wei WuXian was stunned and said hurriedly, “Wait wait wait, I surrender, I surrender to Lan Zhan, I was wrong… ah!”

Both of them were hit with the ruler on their palms and backs of legs for more than a hundred times. Lan Wangji didn't need anyone to hold him down, as he always kept his back straight and knelt upright. Wei Wuxian howled like a ghost, showing no restraint at all, which made the onlookers feel so painful that they frowned repeatedly. After being beaten, Lan Wangji stood up silently, bowed to the disciples in the ancestral hall, and then walked out. Surprisingly, there was no sign of injury. Wei Wuxian was completely the opposite. After being carried out of the ancestral hall by Jiang Cheng, he kept moaning all the way. The young men swarmed around them and asked, "Brother Wei, what's going on?"

"It's fine if Lan Zhan punishes you, but why is he also being beaten?"

Wei WuXian leaned on Jiang Cheng’s back and sighed, “Alas! What a mistake! It’s hard to put into words!”

Jiang Cheng said: "Stop talking nonsense! What on earth did you do?!"

Wei WuXian said, “I didn’t do anything! Didn’t I lose the dice game last night and go buy Tian Zi Xiao?”

Jiang Cheng said: "...Don't tell me you met him again."

Wei WuXian said, “You are right. I don’t know what luck it is. When I was carrying Tian Zi Xiao up, he blocked me. I suspect he is really watching me every day, right?”

Jiang Cheng said: "You think they are all as free as you. Then what?"

Wei WuXian said, “Then I still said hello to him, and I said, ‘Lan Zhan! What a coincidence, it’s you again!’ Of course he ignored me again, and without saying a word, he slapped me. I said, hey, why are you doing this? He said that if a foreign guest violates the curfew multiple times, he must go to the Lan Clan Ancestral Hall to receive punishment. I said, there are only two of us here, and if you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, no one will know whether I have violated the curfew or not, right? I promise that there won’t be a next time. We are so familiar with each other, can’t you please do me a favor and give me some convenience?”

Everyone looked horrified.

Wei WuXian continued, “In the end, he said with a stern face that he didn’t know me well, and then he came at me with his sword, showing no mercy at all. I had no choice but to put Tian Zi Xiao aside and fight him. He chased me closely with his fists and palms, and I couldn’t get rid of him! In the end, I was really fed up with him chasing me, and I said, “Are you really not going to let go? Not going to let go?!”

"He still said: 'Take the penalty!'"

The young men were all very nervous when they heard this. Wei Wuxian was so excited that he completely forgot that he was still on Jiang Cheng's back. He suddenly slapped Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "I said, 'Okay!' Then I didn't hide anymore. I rushed forward, hugged him, and threw him outside the wall of the Cloud Recesses!"

“…”

Wei WuXian said, “So we both fell into the Cloud Recesses together! We were so exhausted that we saw stars.”

Nie Huaisang was already stunned: "...He didn't break free from you?"

Wei WuXian said, “Oh, I tried, but I used my hands and feet to lock him tightly. He couldn’t break free even if he wanted to. He couldn’t get up from me at all. He was as hard as a board. What do you think, Lan Zhan? Now you are also outside the Cloud Recesses. You and I are both under curfew. You can’t be strict with others and lenient with yourself. If you punish me, you have to punish yourself as well. Treat us equally. How about that?”

Wei WuXian said, “After he got up, he looked very bad. I sat beside him and told him not to worry. I would not tell anyone else. This matter is known only to you and me. Then he left without saying a word. Who knew he would do this this morning… Jiang Cheng, walk slower. You are almost leaving me behind.”

Jiang Cheng wanted to not only throw him off, but also smash him headfirst into a few pits: "You're still picky after I carried you!"

Wei WuXian said, “It wasn’t me who asked you to carry it in the first place.”

Jiang Cheng was furious: "If I don't carry you, I don't think you can roll on the ground of their ancestral hall for a whole day without getting up. You can't afford to lose this man! Lan Wangji was fifty feet longer than you, and he walked on his own. How dare you pretend to be disabled like this? I don't want to be carried anymore, get off now!"

Wei WuXian said: “I won’t go down, I’m injured.”

A group of people were pushing and shoving along the white stone path. By chance, a man in white carrying a book passed by and stopped in surprise. Lan Xichen smiled and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Cheng was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, but Nie Huaisang rushed to ask: "Brother Xichen, Brother Wei was fined more than a hundred feet, do you have any medicine for his injury?"

The one who punished Wei Wuxian at the Cloud Recesses was Lan Wangji. In addition, Wei Wuxian had been crying out in pain amidst the crowd, and it seemed that his injuries were very serious. Lan Xichen immediately came forward and asked, “Was it Wangji who punished him? Young Master Wei can’t walk anymore? What’s going on?”

Jiang Cheng was naturally too embarrassed to say that it was Wei Wuxian who did something. After all, it was they who instigated Wei Wuxian to buy the wine, so everyone had to be punished. He could only vaguely say, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not that exaggerated! He can leave. Wei Wuxian, why don't you come down!"

Wei Wuxian said, “I can’t leave.” He stretched out his swollen red palm and complained to Lan Xichen, “Zewu-jun, your brother is really amazing.”

Lan Xichen looked at his palm and said, “Ah, this punishment is indeed a bit harsh. I’m afraid it won’t heal in three or four days.”

Jiang Cheng didn't know that he was beaten so hard, and was shocked: "What? It won't heal in three or four days? He was also beaten on his legs and back with a ruler. How could Lan Wangji do this?!" The last sentence was involuntarily full of dissatisfaction. Wei Wuxian slapped him quietly, and he finally reacted. Lan Xichen didn't care, and smiled: "But it doesn't matter, there is no need to use the medicine. Master Wei, I will tell you a way, it will be healed in a few hours."

At night, the clouds are so deep that I don't know where the cold spring is .

Lan Wangji was soaking in the cold spring water with his eyes closed when a voice suddenly said in his ear, "Lan Zhan."

“…”

Lan Wangji opened his eyes suddenly. As expected, Wei Wuxian was lying on the bluestone beside the cold spring, smiling at him with his head tilted.

Lan Wangji blurted out: "How did you get in?!"

Wei WuXian slowly got up and said as he untied his belt, “Zewu-Jun asked me to come in.”

Lan Wangji asked, “What are you doing?”

Wei WuXian kicked off his boots and dropped his clothes all over the floor, saying, “I’ve taken off all my clothes, so you tell me what I’m here for. It’s said that your cold spring can not only be used to calm the mind and cultivate spiritual cultivation, but it can also remove blood stasis and heal injuries, so your brother asked me to come in and soak in the water with you. But it’s a bit rude for you to come here alone to heal your injuries. Wow, it’s really cold, hiss——”

He entered the water and rolled around in the icy cold water. Lan Wangji quickly distanced himself from him and said, "I came here to practice, not to heal my wounds—don't rush in!"

Wei WuXian said: “But it’s so cold, so cold…”

He didn't mean to exaggerate and cause trouble this time. It was indeed difficult for outsiders to adapt to the cold springs of Gusu Lan Sect in a short period of time. It seemed that if he stayed still for a while longer, his blood would freeze and his limbs would freeze. So he had to keep flapping his feet to warm up. Lan Wangji was originally meditating peacefully, but he was splashed with water all over his face. The water droplets slid down his long eyelashes and black hair. He couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Don't move!"

As he spoke, he stretched out a palm and pressed it on Wei Wuxian’s shoulder.

Wei Wuxian immediately felt a warm current flowing from the place where their bodies were connected, and he felt better. He moved towards him involuntarily. Lan Wangji asked alertly, "What are you doing?"

Wei WuXian said innocently, “Nothing much, it seems like it’s warmer over there.”

Lan Wangji placed his palm firmly between the two of them, keeping their distance, and said sternly, “Not really.”

Wei Wuxian originally wanted to get closer to him, to try to be more approachable and talk to him, but he was not angry when he failed to get close to him and was not happy. He glanced at his palms and shoulders, and found that the scars were still there. He was not here to heal. Wei Wuxian said sincerely, "Lan Zhan, I really admire you. You said you would punish me and you punished me too. You didn't show any leniency. I have nothing to say."

Lan Wangji closed his eyes again and remained silent.

Wei WuXian added: “Really, I’ve never seen someone as serious and consistent as you. I definitely can’t be like you. You’re amazing.”

Lan Wangji still ignored him.

After Wei Wuxian was no longer cold, he began to swim around in the cold spring. After swimming for a while, he couldn't help but swim to Lan Wangji and said, "Lan Zhan, didn't you hear what I was doing just now?"

Lan Wangji said, “I don’t know.”

Wei WuXian said, “You don’t know this? I’m praising you and trying to get close to you.”

Lan Wangji looked at him and said, "What do you want to do?"

Wei WuXian said: “Lan Zhan, let’s make friends. We are already so familiar with each other.”

Lan Wangji said, “Not familiar.”

Wei WuXian patted the water and said, “It’s no fun if you do this. Really. There are many benefits to being my friend.”

Lan Wangji asked: "For example?"

Wei Wuxian swam to the edge of the pool, leaned his back against the bluestone, put his arms on the stone, and said, "I am always very loyal to my friends. For example, if I get a new pornographic work, I must show it to you first... Hey, come back! It's okay if you don't see it. Have you been to Yunmeng? Yunmeng is very fun, and the food in Yunmeng is also very delicious. I don't know if it's Gusu's problem or the Cloud Recesses' problem, anyway, your family's food is too bad. If you come to Lotus Pier to play, you can eat a lot of delicious food. I'll take you to pick lotus pods and water chestnuts, Lan Zhan, are you coming?"

Lan Wangji said, “No.”

Wei WuXian said, “Don’t always start your sentences with the word ‘no’. It sounds so cold. Girls won’t like it. Let me tell you, the girls in Yunmeng are very pretty, and they are different from the pretty girls in Gusu.” He winked at Lan WangJi and said proudly, “Really not coming?”

Lan Wangji paused, and still said: "No..."

Wei WuXian said, “You rejected me like this without giving me any face. Aren’t you afraid that I will take your clothes when I leave?”

Lan Wangji said: "Get lost!!!"

After Lan Qiren returned to Gusu from Qinghe, he did not ask Wei Wuxian to go to the library again to copy the Lan family precepts. Instead, he scolded him in front of everyone. Without the content of quoting classics, it was simplified to mean that he had never seen such a naughty and shameless person. Please go away, go away quickly, and the farther the better. Don't get close to other students, and don't tarnish his favorite student Lan Wangji again.

When he was scolding, Wei Wuxian had been listening with a smile, not feeling embarrassed or angry at all. As soon as Lan Qiren left, Wei Wuxian sat down and said to Jiang Cheng, "Don't you think it's a little late to ask me to get out now? It's too late to ask me to get out after I've already defiled everyone!"


The Water Abyss in Caiyi Town brought great trouble to the Gusu Lan Clan. This thing could not be eradicated, and the Lan Clan could not drive it away like the Wen Clan did. The head of the Lan Clan had been in seclusion for many years, and Lan Qiren had spent a lot of energy on this. The time he spent on teaching became shorter and shorter, and Wei Wuxian spent more and more time taking people for a stroll in the mountains.

That day, he was again being escorted out by seven or eight young men. Passing by the Lan family's library, he glanced up from below, and through the shaded magnolia branches, he could just see Lan Wangji sitting alone by the window.


Nie Huaisang wondered, "Is he looking at us? No, we didn't make much noise just now. Why is he looking at us like that?"

Wei WuXian said: “Most likely he is trying to find fault with us.”

Jiang Cheng said, "Wrong. It's not 'we', it's 'I'. I think he's only targeting you."

Wei WuXian said, “Hey. Wait and see how I deal with him when I come back.”

Jiang Cheng said, "You think he's boring, don't you? Then stop teasing him. You're just trying to get yourself killed by pulling whiskers from a tiger's mouth or stirring up trouble with Tai Sui."

Wei WuXian said, “Wrong. It’s precisely because it’s so interesting that a living person can be so boring as him.”

It was almost noon when they returned to the Cloud Recesses. Lan Wangji was sitting at his desk, straightening a stack of papers he had just written, when he suddenly heard a light click from the window. He looked up and saw a person climbing in from the window.

Wei WuXian climbed up the magnolia tree outside the library, and said with great joy, "Lan Zhan, I'm back! How are you? Did you miss me after not copying books for a few days?"

Lan Wangji was like an old monk in meditation, ignoring everything, and even numbly continued to sort out the pile of books. Wei Wuxian deliberately misinterpreted his silence: "I know even if you don't say it, you must be thinking about me, otherwise why did you look at me from the window just now?"

Lan Wangji immediately glanced at him, his eyes full of silent condemnation. Wei Wuxian sat on the window and said, "Look at you, you took the bait after just two sentences. It's so easy to hook. You can't keep your cool like this."

Lan Wangji: “Go away.”

Wei WuXian: “If I don’t leave, you’re going to push me down?”

Looking at Lan Wangji’s face, Wei Wuxian suspected that if he said one more word, Lan Wangji would really abandon his remaining dignity and nail him to the windowsill. He quickly said, “Don’t be so scary! I’m here to give you a gift and make amends.”

Lan Wangji refused without a second thought: "No."

Wei Wuxian said, “Really?” Seeing Lan Wangji’s wary look, he pulled out two rabbits from his arms like a magic trick. He held them by the ears, like two round, fat snowballs. The snowballs were still kicking their legs randomly. He brought them to Lan Wangji’s eyes and said, “Your place is also strange. There are no pheasants, but there are a lot of wild rabbits. People are not afraid of them. How are they? Are they fat? Do you want them?”

Lan Wangji looked at him coldly.

Wei WuXian said, “Okay. If you don’t want it, I’ll give it to someone else. It just so happens that my mouth has been dry these days.”

Hearing the last sentence, Lan Wangji said, "Stop."

Wei WuXian spread his hands: “I didn’t leave.”

Lan Wangji asked: "Who are you going to give them to?"

Wei WuXian said, “I’ll give it to whoever roasts the best rabbit meat.”

Lan Wangji said, "In the Cloud Recesses, killing is prohibited. That's the third rule on the stele."

Wei WuXian said, “Okay then. I’ll go down the mountain, kill them all outside the border, and then bring them up to roast. You don’t want them anyway, so why would you care so much?”

"..." Lan Wangji said word by word: "Give it to me."

Wei WuXian sat on the windowsill and chuckled, “Again? Look at you, you’re always like this.”

Both rabbits were fat and round, like two fluffy snowballs. One had dead eyes, lying on the ground for a long time without moving, chewing leaves with its pink three-petal mouth. The other seemed to have eaten cricket pills, jumping up and down non-stop, crawling and rolling on its companion, twisting and bouncing, never stopping for a moment. Wei Wuxian threw a few leaves that he had picked up from somewhere, and suddenly said, "Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan!"

The active rabbit had stepped on Lan Wangji's inkstone before, leaving a black ink footprint on the desk. Lan Wangji didn't know what to do, and was seriously thinking about how to wipe it with a piece of paper. He didn't want to pay attention to him, but he heard his serious tone and thought there was something wrong, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei WuXian asked, “Look at them stacked like this, aren’t they…?”

Lan Wangji said, “These two are male!”

Wei WuXian said, “Male? How strange.” He lifted up its ear and looked at it, confirming, “It is indeed a male. A male is a male. I haven’t even finished what I was saying. Why are you being so strict? What did you think of? To be honest, I caught these two. I didn’t even notice whether they were male or female. You actually looked at them…”

Lan Wangji finally pushed him off the library.

Wei WuXian said in mid-air: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

With a loud bang, Lan Wangji slammed the window shut and fell back down beside his desk.

He glanced at the mess of rice paper and ink footprints on the ground, as well as the two white rabbits rolling around dragging vegetable leaves, then closed his eyes and covered his ears.

The trembling magnolia branches were shut out of the window, but no matter how he resisted, he could not stop Wei Wuxian’s happy and unbridled laughter.

On the second day, Lan Wangji finally stopped coming to study.

Wei Wuxian changed his seat three times. He originally sat with Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng was serious about his studies. In order to perform well and bring honor to the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, he sat in the first row. This position was too conspicuous, and Wei Wuxian could not do anything wrong, so he abandoned Jiang Cheng and sat behind Lan Wangji. When Lan Qiren was lecturing, Lan Wangji sat straight as a copper wall, and he was either sleeping or scribbling in the back. Except for the occasional paper ball that Lan Wangji suddenly raised his hand to intercept, it could be said that it was a good place for feng shui. But later, Lan Qiren noticed the trick and switched them to the front and back. From then on, whenever Wei Wuxian sat in an improper posture, he felt two cold and sharp eyes nailed to his back, and Lan Qiren would also glare at him fiercely. He was constantly monitored by an old man and a young man, one in front and one behind, which was very unpleasant. After the Spring Palace Case and the Twin Rabbit Case, Lan Qiren decided that Wei Wuxian was a dark dye vat, and was afraid that his favorite student would be tainted by him. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together," he hurriedly told Lan Wangji not to come anymore. So Wei Wuxian sat back in his old place, and they lived in peace for nearly half a month.

Unfortunately, people like Wei Wuxian will never have good fortunes for long.

Inside the Cloud Recesses, there is a long wall of lattice windows. Every seven steps, there is a hollow carved window on the wall. The carvings are different, with mountains playing the zither, flying swords in the air, and beheading monsters. Lan Qiren explained that each lattice window on this wall of windows depicts the life story of an ancestor of the Gusu Lan family. The oldest and most famous four lattice windows tell the four scenes of the life of Lan An, the ancestor of the Lan family.

This ancestor was born in a temple, grew up listening to Buddhist chants, and was a well-known monk at a young age. At the age of twenty, he returned to secular life and became a musician. On his way to seek immortality, he met the "person destined by heaven" he was looking for in Gusu, and they became Taoist partners. Together, they laid the foundation for the Lan family. After his immortal partner died, he returned to the temple and ended his life. The four lattice windows are "Galan", "Xiyue", "Daolu", and "Guiji".


It was rare to hear something so interesting in all these days. Although Lan Qiren told it in a dry chronology, Wei Wuxian finally listened to it. After school, he laughed and said, "It turns out that the ancestor of the Lan family was a monk. No wonder. He entered the world to meet a person. When the person leaves, I will also leave. This body will not leave any dust. But how could such a person as his ancestor give birth to such an unromantic descendant?"

Everyone was also surprised that the Lan family, which was known for being conservative, would have such an ancestor, and they all started discussing. As they discussed, the focus shifted to "Daoist companions", and they began to exchange their ideal immortal companions and comment on the famous fairies from various families. At this time, someone asked, "Brother Zixuan, which fairy do you think is the best?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng looked at a young man in the front row of the orchid room at the same time.

The young man had proud and handsome features, a dot of cinnabar on his forehead, and his collar, cuffs and belt were embroidered with golden stars, snowy waves and white peonies. He was none other than Jin Zixuan, the young master sent by Lanling Jin Clan to be educated in Gusu.

Another person said, "Don't ask Brother Zixuan about this. He already has a fiancée, so he will definitely answer it is his fiancée."

Hearing the word "fiancée", Jin Zixuan's mouth seemed to curl up, revealing a bit of displeasure. The disciple who first asked the question didn't know how to read the other's expression, and continued to ask cheerfully: "Really? Whose fairy is that? She must be extremely talented!"

Jin Zixuan raised his eyebrows and said, "No need to mention it again."

Wei WuXian suddenly asked, “What do you mean by no need to mention it again?”

Everyone in the orchid room looked at him in surprise. Wei Wuxian was always smiling on weekdays, and never really got angry even when he was scolded or punished. But at this moment, there was an obvious hint of hostility between his eyebrows. Jiang Cheng also rarely scolded Wei Wuxian for making trouble as usual, and sat next to him with a very unhappy look on his face.

Jin Zixuan said arrogantly: "Is it difficult to understand the four words 'no need to mention it again'?" What is history?

Wei WuXian sneered: “The words are not difficult to understand, but what exactly you are dissatisfied with my senior sister, this is difficult to understand.”

The others whispered to each other, and after a few words, they finally understood. It turned out that those few words just now had accidentally stirred up a big hornet's nest. Jin Zixuan's fiancée was Jiang Yanli from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan.

Jiang Yanli is the eldest daughter of Jiang Fengmian and the biological sister of Jiang Cheng. She is not aggressive and has no dazzling colors; her words are steady and have no aftertaste. She is above average in appearance and her talent is not amazing. Among the fairies from various families, she is inevitably overshadowed. Her fiancé Jin Zixuan is the exact opposite. He is the only son of Jin Guangshan's wife. He is handsome and talented. If we talk about Jiang Yanli's own conditions, it is reasonable to say that she is not a match for him. She is not even qualified to compete with fairies from other aristocratic families. The reason why Jiang Yanli was able to make an engagement with Jin Zixuan is because her mother is from the Meishan Yu family, and the Meishan Yu family and Jin Zixuan's mother's family are friendly families. The two ladies grew up together and have a good relationship.


The Jin family is proud and arrogant, and Jin Zixuan inherited this 100%. He has high standards and has long been dissatisfied with this marriage. Not only is he dissatisfied with the choice of the person, he is even more dissatisfied with his mother's decision on his marriage without authorization, and he is becoming more and more rebellious. Today, he took the opportunity to vent his anger. Jin Zixuan asked back, "Why don't you ask what makes her satisfy me?"

Jiang Cheng stood up suddenly.

Wei WuXian pushed him away, stood in front of him and sneered, “How satisfied do you think you are? Where do you get the confidence to be so picky here!”

Because of this marriage, Jin Zixuan had never had a good impression of Yunmeng Jiang Clan, and he had long been disgusted with Wei Wuxian's behavior. Moreover, he prided himself on being the best among the younger generation, and had never been looked down upon like this. He was so angry that he blurted out, "If she is not satisfied, ask her to cancel this engagement! Anyway, I don't care about your good sister. If you care about her, go ask her father! Doesn't he treat you better than his own son?"

Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Cheng's eyes fixed, Wei Wuxian was furious, flew over and punched. Although Jin Zixuan had been prepared, he did not expect him to attack so quickly, and he was killed before he finished speaking. After being punched, half of his face was numb immediately, and he fought back without saying a word.

This fight alarmed the two great families. Jiang Fengmian and Jin Guangshan rushed to Gusu from Yunmeng and Lanling that day.

The two family heads looked at the two people who were punished to kneel, and then went in front of Lan Qiren to receive a scolding. They both wiped the sweat off their faces and exchanged a few words. Then Jiang Fengmian expressed his intention to cancel the engagement.

He said to Jin Guangshan: "This marriage was originally arranged by A-li's mother, and I didn't agree. Now it seems that both parties are not happy, so let's not force it."


Jin Guangshan was surprised and hesitated. In any case, breaking off the engagement with another great family was not a good thing. He said, "What can a child understand? They can make a fuss. Brother Fengmian and I don't need to pay attention to them."

Jiang Fengmian said: "Brother Jin, although we can help them to make an engagement, we cannot fulfill it on their behalf. After all, they are the ones who will spend their lives together in the future."

This marriage was not originally Jin Guangshan's idea. If he wanted to consolidate his power by marrying into a noble family, Yunmeng Jiang Clan was not the only choice, nor was it the best choice. It was just that he had never dared to disobey Mrs. Jin. Anyway, since it was the Jiang family who took the initiative to propose it, the Jin family was the man and did not have as many concerns as the woman, so why bother? Besides, he knew that Jin Zixuan had always been dissatisfied with his fiancée Jiang Yanli. After some consideration, Jin Guangshan boldly agreed to this matter.

Wei Wuxian didn't know what he had broken up at this point, and he knelt on the gravel road designated by Lan Qiren. Jiang Cheng walked over from a distance and said sarcastically, "You're kneeling so obediently."

Wei WuXian gloated, “You know I kneel often. But Jin ZiXuan must be spoiled and has never kneeled before. If I don’t kneel down and make him cry for his parents today, I won’t be named Wei.”

Jiang Cheng lowered his head for a moment and said calmly, "Father is here."

Wei WuXian asked, “Senior Sister didn’t come, did she?”

Jiang Cheng asked, "What is she doing here? Is she here to see you embarrass her? If she comes, can she not come with you and bring you medicine?"

Wei WuXian sighed and said, “…it would have been better if Senior Sister had come. Fortunately, you didn’t do anything.”

Jiang Cheng said, "I was going to take action. If you hadn't pushed me away, I wouldn't have been able to look at the other side of Jin Zixuan's face."

Wei WuXian said, “Let’s not do that. His asymmetrical face makes him look uglier now. I heard that he cherishes his face like a peacock. I wonder what he feels when he looks in the mirror now? Hahahaha…” After pounding his fist and laughing for a while, Wei WuXian added, “Actually, I should let you do it, and I’ll stand by and watch. Then maybe Uncle Jiang won’t come. But I can’t help it!”

Jiang Cheng snorted and said softly, "You wish."

Wei Wuxian just said this casually, but his emotions were very complicated. Because he knew in his heart that this was not a lie.

Jiang Fengmian had never flown to other families in one day for anything related to him, no matter if it was good or bad, big or small.

there has never been.

Seeing that he looked depressed, Wei WuXian thought that he was still upset about what Jin ZiXuan said, so he said, “Go away. You don’t have to accompany me. If Lan WangJi comes again, you’ll be caught by him. When you have time, go watch Jin ZiXuan kneel down as a fool.”

Jiang Cheng was slightly surprised: "Lan Wangji? What is he doing here? How dare he come to see you?"

Wei WuXian said, “Yes, I also think he is very courageous to come and see me. Maybe his uncle asked him to come and see if I have knelt down.”

Jiang Cheng instinctively had a bad feeling: "Did you kneel properly then?"

Wei WuXian said, “I knelt down at that time. When he walked a distance away, I took a branch and bent down to dig a hole in the dirt beside me. It was the pile next to your feet. There was an ant hole there. I found it with great difficulty. When he turned around, he saw my shoulders shaking. He must have thought that I was crying or something, so he came to ask me. You should have seen his expression when he saw the ant hole.”

"..." Jiang Cheng said, "You'd better go back to Yunmeng! I don't think he wants to see you again."

So, that night, Wei Wuxian packed up his things and went back to Yunmeng with Jiang Fengmian.
