Autumn, Baifeng Mountain Hunting Ground.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators choose a place where evil beasts appear all year round, and compete for prey with their strengths within a specified time. This is hunting. Baifeng Mountain stretches for several miles, and there are many prey. It is one of the three famous hunting grounds and has held many large-scale hunting events. Such events are not only an opportunity for large and small families to actively participate, show their strength, and recruit talents, but also an opportunity for independent cultivators and newcomers to become famous.

There is a wide square in front of Baifeng Mountain. Dozens of high hunting viewing platforms stand out from the ground around the square. People are crowded on them, and the excited whispers are buzzing. The quietest one is naturally the highest and most gorgeous hunting viewing platform. Most of the people sitting on the platform are elderly celebrities and family members of the owners. The maids in the back row are either holding a canopy or holding a palm fan. The female family members in the front row all cover their faces with fans, looking down at the hunting grounds with great reserve.

However, when the Gusu Lan clan's cavalry appeared, this reserve could no longer be maintained.

During night hunting, the real pursuit of prey does not rely on horses. However, riding is one of the skills that children of aristocratic families must learn. In such a grand occasion, riding horses is not only a symbol of etiquette, but also can create a grand momentum and is very beautiful. To put it bluntly, it is just for the sake of "rules" and "looks good". Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji sat upright on two snow-maned horses, leading the Gusu Lan Clan's cavalry slowly forward. Both of them had swords hanging from their waists and bows and arrows on their backs. Their white clothes and foreheads flew together, looking like fairies. Their snow-white boots were spotless, and I am afraid they were cleaner than the clothes of others. The two of them were really like a pair of flawless jade, ice sculptures and snow sculptures. As soon as they appeared on the stage, it seemed that even the air was refreshing. Many female cultivators were fascinated by this. The more reserved ones just put down their fans and looked around more eagerly, while the bold ones rushed to the edge of the hunting platform and threw the flower buds and flowers they had prepared in advance. Suddenly, a shower of flowers fell from the sky. It was a custom to throw flowers at handsome men and women to express admiration. The children of the Gusu Lan family were not surprised by this because of their noble family background, extraordinary talents, and good looks. Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji had been used to it since they were thirteen years old. They were calm and composed, and nodded slightly to the hunting platform to return the greeting. They did not stop and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, Lan Wangji raised his hand and caught a flower thrown from behind.

He looked back and saw Jiang Cheng, the leader of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan cavalry formation who had not yet formed their formation, smacking his lips impatiently. Next to him was a man sitting on a horse with shining black mane, with his elbows resting on the horse's head. He was looking to the side as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with two graceful female cultivators.

Lan Xichen saw Lan Wangji reining in his horse and said, “Wangji, what’s wrong?”

Lan Wangji said, "Wei Ying."

Wei WuXian then turned around and asked in surprise, “What? HanGuang-Jun, are you calling me? What’s the matter?”

Lan Wangji held up the flower, his face looked very cold, and his tone was also cold, and he said: "Is it you?"

Wei WuXian immediately denied: “It wasn’t me.”

The two female cultivators beside him immediately said, "Don't believe him, it's him!"

Wei WuXian said: “How can you wrongly accuse a good person like this? I’m angry!”

The two female cultivators laughed and pulled the reins, running back to their own formation. Lan Wangji lowered his hand holding the flower and shook his head. Jiang Cheng said, "Zewu Jun and Hanguang Jun, I'm sorry, please ignore him."

Lan Xichen smiled and said, “That’s fine. Master Wei, I want to thank you on behalf of Wangji for the gift of flowers.”

As they slowly walked away with the fragrance of flowers and rain, Jiang Cheng looked at the handkerchiefs on the hunting platform that were waving in a sea of ​​colorful silk and said to Wei Wuxian, "They are throwing, so what are you throwing?"

Wei WuXian said, “He looks so good, why not throw two?”

Jiang Cheng sneered: "How old are you? Who are you to play such a trick?"

Wei Wuxian looked at him and said, “Do you want some too? There are still a lot on the ground. I’ll pick some up for you.” As he made a gesture to bend down, Jiang Cheng said, “Get lost!”

At this moment, Jin Guangyao's voice rang out over the square: "Qinghe Nie Clan's cavalry enters the arena!"

Nie Mingjue was very tall, and when he stood, he gave people a great sense of oppression. When he rode on a horse, he looked down on the whole place with an imposing manner. The noise on the hunting platform suddenly became much smaller. When the men on the list of noble families appeared, they were almost inevitably hit by a rain of flowers on their heads and faces. Nie Mingjue, who ranked seventh, was an exception. If Lan Wangji was cold with ice, like frost and snow, Nie Mingjue was cold with fire, as if he would burn with anger at any time, making people dare not provoke him easily. Therefore, even if the girls, whose chests were pounding wildly, had already grasped the sweaty flowers in their hands, they dared not throw them out, for fear that they would anger him and chop down the entire hunting platform with a knife. However, there were many male cultivators who worshipped Chifeng Zun to help, and the cheers were particularly deafening. Nie Huaisang, who was standing beside Nie Mingjue, was still dressed elegantly today, with a sword and a ring hanging from his body, and a paper fan waving gently. At first glance, he looked like a handsome young man in this corrupt world. However, everyone knew that there was no chance that he would pull out his sword, and he would probably just wander around Baifeng Mountain and enjoy the scenery.

After the Nie family of Qinghe, there is the Jiang family of Yunmeng.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng rode out on horseback, and in an instant, a burst of flowers rained down on them, making Jiang Cheng's face turn black. Wei Wuxian, however, was bathed in it, feeling very comfortable, and waved to the highest hunting viewing platform. The best seat on the platform belonged to Lady Jin of the Lanling Jin Clan, and sitting next to her was Jiang Yanli. Lady Jin had been holding her hand and talking to her lovingly. Jiang Yanli usually had a bland and inconspicuous appearance, with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes submissive, but when she saw her two younger brothers greeting her, her face suddenly brightened. She put down her fan, said a few words shyly to Lady Jin, walked to the side of the stand, and threw two flowers at them.

This throw took her the most effort. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were a little worried that she would fall. Seeing Jiang Yanli standing firm, they were relieved. They raised their hands and caught it easily. They all smiled slightly, pinned the lavender flower to their hearts, and continued to move forward. Many women around looked at Jiang Yanli with envy. She lowered her head and went back to Mrs. Jin. At this time, a row of monks with white backgrounds and gold patterns rushed out wearing light armor sitting on tall horses. The one in the front had handsome eyebrows and was wearing armor. Naturally, he was the head of the family, Jin Guangshan.

Madam Jin quickly patted Jiang Yanli on the shoulder, took her hand and dragged her to the side of the stands, pointing out the Lanling Jin clan's cavalry formation below.

Amid the neighing, a horse suddenly took the lead, ran a circle in the square, and suddenly reined in. The man on the horse was elegant, dressed in white as snow, with eyebrows and eyes that were more dazzling than the cinnabar between his eyebrows. The posture of drawing the bow was heroic, which immediately set off a frenzy on the hunting viewing platform. The man glanced at the hunting viewing platform intentionally or unintentionally. Although he tried his best to keep a straight face, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows revealed an unconcealable arrogance.

Wei WuXian sneered and laughed his ass off on his horse: “I really admire him, he’s like a colorful peacock.”

Jiang Cheng said, "Be more restrained. My sister is still watching from the hunting platform."

Wei WuXian said, “Don’t worry, as long as he doesn’t make Senior Sister cry again, I won’t bother to care. You shouldn’t have brought her here.”

Jiang Cheng said, "Lanling Jin Sect invited me so hard that I couldn't let go of my pride."

Wei WuXian said, “I think it was Madam Jin who invited us. She will definitely try to bring Senior Sister and that male princess together later.”

As he spoke, Jin Zixuan rode his horse to the front of the shooting range. This row of targets was a checkpoint before entering the mountain. Participants entering the mountain to participate in the hunt had to shoot one target from a specified distance to obtain entry. There were seven circles on the target, corresponding to the seven entrance paths. The closer the arrow fell to the bull's eye, the more convenient the corresponding path was. Jin Zixuan did not slow down at all. He pulled out a feathered arrow with his backhand, drew his bow and shot it, hitting the bull's eye. There was cheering from all sides of the hunting viewing platform.

Seeing Jin Zixuan stealing the show, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng showed no emotion. Suddenly, a loud snort came from not far away, and someone shouted, "Anyone here who is not convinced, come and try to see if you can shoot better than Zixuan!"

This man was tall and handsome, with a dark complexion and a loud voice. He was Jin Guangshan's nephew and Jin Zixuan's cousin. Wei Wuxian had a dispute with Jin Zixuan over the flower banquet held at Jinlin Terrace before. Jin Zixuan remembered this grudge and now came to provoke him. Wei Wuxian smiled slightly, and Jin Zixuan showed a smug look when he saw that he did not respond. When the Yunmeng Jiang Clan's cavalry also arrived in front of the shooting range, Wei Wuxian said to the two masters of the Lan Clan who were putting arrows on their horses and testing their bows: "Lan Zhan, can you help me?"

Lan Wangji glanced at him and said nothing. Jiang Cheng asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Lan Wangji asked, “What is it?”

Wei WuXian asked, “Can I borrow your headband?”

Hearing this, Lan Wangji immediately withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at him. Lan Xichen laughed and said, "Master Wei, you don't know..."

Lan Wangji said, "Brother, no need to say more."

Lan Xichen said, “Okay.”

Jiang Cheng almost wanted to slap Wei Wuxian off his horse. This guy clearly knew that Lan Wangji would not lend it to him, but he still asked. It was really boring and he swore he would do it if it wasn't for the wrong occasion. He said, "What do you want the headband for? Are you going to hang yourself? You don't need to thank me for lending you a belt."

Wei WuXian took off the black belt on his wrist and said, “You can keep the belt. I don’t want your thing without the headband.”

Jiang Cheng said: "You——"

Before he finished speaking, Wei WuXian quickly tied a black belt around his eyes and blindfolded them, nocked the bowstring, drew the bow, and released the arrow - hit the target!

This series of actions was completed as smoothly as flowing water and lightning. The others didn't even react to what he was going to do, and didn't even see his movements clearly, and the bull's eye on the target was pierced through. After a moment of silence, there was an overwhelming cheering from all directions, which was even more enthusiastic than the one for Jin Zixuan just now.

Wei WuXian curled his lips slightly, turned the longbow in his hand twice, and threw it back. Seeing that he was now more popular than Lanling Jin Sect, Jin ZiXun snorted heavily, his face and heart were both unhappy, and he said, "It's just the opening arrows, why are you doing these flashy things? You are blindfolded now, do you have the guts to keep your eyes blindfolded for the whole hunt? Let's see who wins and who loses on Baifeng Mountain later!"

Wei WuXian said, “Okay?”

Jin Zixun waved his hand and ordered: "Go!"

His monks hurriedly rode forward, hoping to rush in first, seize the opportunity, and quickly catch all the high-quality prey. Jin Guangshan was very proud of his well-trained cavalry. Seeing Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng still sitting on their horses, he smiled and said, "Master Jiang, Master Wei, why don't you go into the mountains? Be careful that Zixun grabs all the prey."

Wei WuXian said, “No hurry. He can’t take it away.”

Everyone around was stunned. Jin Guangshan was just wondering what "cannot be snatched away" meant when he saw Wei Wuxian get off his horse and said to Jiang Cheng, "You go first."

Jiang Cheng said: "Take it easy, it will be fine if you do it almost right."

Wei Wuxian waved his hand, Jiang Cheng pulled the reins, and led the Yunmeng Jiang Clan's people to gallop away.

Wei Wuxian, with his eyes covered and his hands behind his back, walked slowly towards the mountain path of Baifeng Mountain, as if he was not here to participate in a hunt but was just strolling in his own garden.

Everyone was puzzled. Could it be that he really planned to not take off the black belt covering his eyes during the entire night hunt? How could he participate in the hunt like this?

They looked at each other, and finally felt that it had nothing to do with them, so they were happy to watch the show and went their separate ways.

Wei Wuxian walked alone for a long time and finally found a place suitable for resting deep in the mountains of Baifeng Mountain.

An extremely thick branch grew horizontally from an even thicker trunk, blocking his way. Wei Wuxian patted the dry and wrinkled bark twice, feeling it was quite solid, and jumped up lightly.

The noise from the hunting platform had long been blocked out of the forest. Wei Wuxian leaned against the tree, his eyes narrowed under the black cloth. The sunlight shone on his face through the gaps between the leaves.

He raised his flute, breathed through his lips, and stroked it with his fingers. The clear sound of the flute rushed to the sky like a flying bird, and spread far and long in the mountains and forests.

While playing the flute, Wei Wuxian lowered one leg and swung it gently. The toe of his boot brushed the weeds under the tree, not caring that it was wet by the morning dew on the green grass leaves.

After the song was over, Wei Wuxian folded his hands and leaned against the tree in a more comfortable position. The flute was in his arms, and the flower was pinned to his chest, emitting a faint, slightly cool fragrance.

He didn't know how long he sat there, so long that when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly moved and woke up.

Someone is approaching.

However, this man had no intention of killing, so he still leaned on the tree and was too lazy to get up. He was even too lazy to take off the black belt covering his eyes. He just tilted his head.

After a while, Wei WuXian heard nothing from the other party. He could not help but take the initiative to ask, "Are you here to join the hunt?"

The other party should not respond.

Wei WuXian said, “You can’t hunt anything near me.”

The other party still said nothing, but took a few steps towards him.

Wei Wuxian perked up a bit. Ordinary cultivators were a little afraid of him. Even in crowded places, they didn't dare to get close to him, let alone being alone, and getting so close. If this man didn't have a bit of murderous aura, Wei Wuxian would really think that he had bad intentions. He straightened up slightly, turned his head to look at the direction where the other person was standing, raised the corners of his lips, smiled slightly, and was about to say something when he was suddenly pushed hard.

Wei Wuxian was pushed so that his back hit the tree. Just as he was about to pull off the black bandage covering his eyes, the man immediately grabbed his wrist. The force was quite strong and he could not get it free. However, he still had no intention of killing. Wei Wuxian moved his left sleeve slightly and was about to shake off the talisman, but the man noticed his intention and grabbed him in the same way, pressing his hands against the tree with extremely strong movements. Wei Wuxian raised his foot and was about to kick, but suddenly he felt a warmth on his lips and froze on the spot.

The touch was strange and different, moist and warm. Wei Wuxian had no idea what was going on at first, his mind was completely blank, and when he finally realized what was going on, he was completely shocked.

This man was holding his wrist, pressing him against the tree and kissing him.

He struggled violently, trying to force his way out and tear off the black belt, but he couldn't get it free. He wanted to move again, but suddenly he held back.

The person kissing him seemed to be trembling slightly.

Wei WuXian suddenly couldn't struggle anymore.

He thought to himself, "It seems that this girl is quite strong, but she is afraid and shy? She is so nervous." Otherwise, she would not have attacked him at this time. She must have mustered up great courage to do such a thing. Besides, the other party seemed to have a strong cultivation level, so her self-esteem must be even stronger. What if he rashly pulled off his black belt and the other party saw it, how embarrassed and embarrassed would this girl be?

The four thin lips tossed and turned, cautiously, and reluctantly. Wei Wuxian hadn't decided what to do yet, but the lingering lips and teeth suddenly became fierce. Wei Wuxian's teeth were not clenched tightly, and he was invaded by the other party, and suddenly became defenseless. He felt a little difficult to breathe, and wanted to turn his head away, but the other party pinched his face and forced him back. He was also dizzy during the tumbling of lips and tongues, until the other party bit his lower lip, rubbed for a while, and reluctantly left, then he barely came back to his senses.

Wei Wuxian felt weak all over from the kiss, and he leaned against the tree for a long time before some strength surged in his arms.

He raised his hand and violently pulled off the black belt. He felt a pain from the sudden sunlight and finally opened his eyes. Everything around him was empty. There were bushes, old trees, weeds, and dead vines. How could there be another person?

Wei Wuxian was still a little dazed and sat on the branch for a while. When he jumped down, his feet suddenly felt weak and he even felt dizzy.

He quickly held onto the tree trunk, secretly cursing himself for being useless, for being kissed so hard that his legs went limp and he couldn't stand. He looked up and around, but there was no sign of anyone. The scene just now seemed like an absurd and erotic daydream, and it reminded Wei Wuxian of the legends of mountain spirits and ghosts.

But he was sure that it was definitely not a mountain spirit or ghost, it must be a human.

He recalled the feeling just now, and a vague itch crept up to the tip of his heart. Wei Wuxian put his right hand on his heart, but found that the flower that was originally placed there was gone.

He searched the ground, but couldn't find it. It couldn't have disappeared out of thin air.

Wei WuXian was stunned for a long while, and touched his lips unconsciously. After a while, he managed to utter, “How can this be possible… This is mine…”

After searching the area for a while but not seeing anyone, Wei Wuxian was in a dilemma, knowing that the other party was probably hiding from him and would not come out again, so he gave up the search and walked around aimlessly in the forest. After walking for a while, he suddenly heard a heavy blow in front of him. Wei Wuxian looked up and saw the tall figure in white in front of him. Who else could it be but Lan Wangji?

But this man was clearly Lan Wangji, but what he did was not like Lan Wangji. When Wei Wuxian saw him, he was punching a tree, breaking it.

Wei WuXian was surprised and asked, “Lan Zhan! What are you doing?”

The man turned around suddenly, and it was indeed Lan Wangji. But at this time, there were slight bloodshot in his eyes, and his expression was terrifying. Wei Wuxian was stunned and said, "Wow, so scary."

Lan Wangji snapped, “Go!”

Wei WuXian said, “You asked me to leave right after I arrived. Do you really hate me so much?”

Lan Wangji said, “Stay away from me!”

Aside from the days at the bottom of the Xuanwu Cave, this was the first time Wei Wuxian had seen Lan Wangji lose his composure like this. But the situation was special back then, so it was understandable, but why was he like this now when he was fine?

Wei WuXian took a step back, moving “a little further” away from him, and continued to ask, “Hey, Lan Zhan, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay? If you have something to say, just tell me.”

Lan Wangji didn't look at him directly. He pulled out his sword, and several blue lights flashed across. The surrounding trees were swept by the sword energy, and after a moment, they collapsed with a loud bang.

He stood still for a while holding the sword, his five fingers tightened until his knuckles turned white from the exertion. He seemed to have calmed down a little, but suddenly he looked over again and stared at Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian was confused. His eyes had been covered by the black belt for more than an hour, and the sunlight was still a little dazzling to him. After removing the black belt, tears kept welling up in his eyes, and his lips were slightly red and swollen. Wei Wuxian felt that he must not look at his appearance at this moment. He couldn't help but touch his chin under his gaze and said, "Lan Zhan?"

“…”

Lan Wangji said, “It’s okay.”

With a clang, Lan Wangji sheathed his sword and turned to walk away. Wei Wuxian still felt that something was wrong with him, so after thinking for a while, he followed him just in case. He tried to take his pulse, but Lan Wangji dodged to the side and looked at him coldly. Wei Wuxian said, "Don't look at me like that, I just want to see what's wrong with you. You were so strange just now. Are you really not poisoned or did something unexpected happen during the night hunt?"

Lan Wangji said, “No.”

Seeing that his expression had finally returned to normal, Wei Wuxian was relieved. Although he was curious about what was going on, it was not good to interfere too much, so he chatted with him for a while. Lan Wangji didn't say anything at first, but finally replied briefly with a few words.

The remaining heat and swelling on Wei Wuxian's lips kept reminding him that he had just lost his first kiss, which he had been waiting for for twenty years. He was kissed so hard that he was dizzy, but he didn't even know who the other person was or what she looked like. This was really absurd.

Wei WuXian sighed and suddenly asked, "Lan Zhan, have you ever kissed anyone?"

If Jiang Cheng were here and heard him asking such a frivolous and boring question, he would definitely punch him immediately.

Lan Wangji also suddenly stopped and said in a cold and stiff voice: "Why are you asking this?"

Wei WuXian smiled with understanding.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "No, right? I knew it. I was just asking casually. There's no need for you to be so angry."

Lan Wangji asked, “How do you know?”

Wei WuXian said, “Isn’t that nonsense? You keep such a stern face all day long, who would dare to kiss you? Of course, I don’t expect you to take the initiative to kiss others. I think you’ll have to keep your first kiss for the rest of your life, hahahaha…”

He was still smug, Lan Wangji had no expression on his face, but his demeanor seemed to have eased a little.

After he had laughed enough, Lan Wangji asked, "What about you?"

Wei WuXian raised his eyebrows and said, “Me? Do you even need to ask? I am naturally a veteran of many battles.”

Lan Wangji's expression, which had just relaxed, was quickly covered by a layer of severe frost and snow.

At this moment, Wei WuXian suddenly fell silent and said, “Shh!”

He listened to something for a moment with an alert look on his face, then pulled Lan Wangji behind a bush.

Lan Wangji had no idea what he meant by this and was about to ask when he saw Wei Wuxian staring in one direction. Following his gaze, he saw two figures, one in white and one in purple, slowly walking out from under the green clouds.

The man walking in front was tall and handsome, with a domineering look, a little cinnabar between his eyebrows, a white robe with gold edges, and accessories shining brightly. In particular, he was walking with his head held high, with an extremely arrogant attitude. He was Jin Zixuan. The man behind him was thin, with small steps, and kept his head down, in sharp contrast to Jin Zixuan in front. He was Jiang Yanli.

Wei WuXian thought, “I knew Madam Jin would definitely ask Senior Sister and Golden Peacock to come out alone.”

Lan Wangji, who was standing by, saw his disdainful expression and whispered, "What is the problem between you and Jin Zixuan?"

Wei WuXian snorted.

If you ask Wei Wuxian why he hates Jin Zixuan so much, it has a long history.

Madam Yu and Jin Zixuan's mother, Madam Jin, were close friends. They had an agreement since childhood that if the children they had in the future were all sons, they would become sworn sisters; if they were all daughters, they would become sisters; and if they were one boy and one girl, they would definitely become husband and wife.

The two hostesses had a close relationship with each other, knew each other well, and were well matched. This marriage was a perfect match, and everyone would call it a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, the parties involved did not think so.

Jin Zixuan has been a star-studded kid since he was a child. He was born with a fair complexion and a little cinnabar on his forehead. He was born with a noble family background and was extremely smart. He was loved by almost everyone and was very proud since he was a child. Madam Jin brought him to the Lotus Pier as a guest several times. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng didn't like to play with him. Only Jiang Yanli always wanted to feed him the food she made. However, Jin Zixuan didn't like to pay attention to her, which made Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng angry several times.

Back then, Wei Wuxian made a scene in the Cloud Recesses and ruined the marriage between the Jin and Jiang families. After returning to the Lotus Pier, he apologized to Jiang Yanli, who didn't say anything but just patted his head. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng thought that the matter was over and that the marriage was cancelled, and everyone was happy. But later they found out that Jiang Yanli must have been very sad at that time.

In the middle of the Sun Shooting Campaign, the Yunmeng Jiang Clan went to the Langye area to support the Lanling Jin Clan. Due to the shortage of manpower, Jiang Yanli went to the battlefield with them.

She knew that her cultivation was not high, so she did what she could and took care of the monks' meals. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng didn't agree at first, but Jiang Yanli was good at cooking, she was happy cooking, got along well with others, didn't force herself to work hard, and was safe, so they thought it was not a bad idea.

Due to the harsh conditions and poor food, Jiang Yanli was worried that her two younger brothers would not be able to eat well, so she would secretly make two extra portions of soup for Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng every day. However, no one except herself knew that there was a third portion, which was given to Jin Zixuan who was also in Langye at the time.

Jin Zixuan didn't know either. Although he liked the bowl of soup very much and was grateful for the kindness of the person who sent the soup, Jiang Yanli never left her name. Unexpectedly, all of this was seen by another low-level female cultivator. This female cultivator was a servant of the Lanling Jin family. Because her cultivation was not high, she did the same job as Jiang Yanli. She was good-looking and was good at taking advantage of loopholes. Out of curiosity, she followed Jiang Yanli several times and almost guessed what was going on. She picked an opportunity calmly and wandered outside Jin Zixuan's house after Jiang Yanli delivered the soup and left, deliberately letting Jin Zixuan see her figure.

Jin Zixuan finally caught the person, so of course he had to question her. The woman was very smart and did not admit it. Instead, she blushed and denied it vaguely. It sounded like she did it, but she didn't want Jin Zixuan to see through her painstaking efforts. So, Jin Zixuan did not force her to admit it, but he began to favor this female monk and took good care of her. He also promoted her from a servant to a guest official. For a long time, Jiang Yanli did not find anything wrong until one day, after she delivered the soup, she was bumped into by Jin Zixuan who came back to pick up the mail.

Jin Zixuan naturally wanted to ask Jiang Yanli what she was doing in his room. Jiang Yanli didn't dare to say anything, but the more he asked, the more suspicious he sounded, so she had to nervously confess the truth.

However, this reason has already been used.

It is conceivable what Jin Zixuan’s reaction would be after hearing this.

So, he "exposed" Jiang Yanli's "lie" on the spot. Jiang Yanli never expected such a thing to happen. She never showed off in her daily life, and few people even knew that she was the daughter of Yunmeng Jiang family. She couldn't produce any strong evidence for a while, and she made a few excuses, but the more she argued, the more disappointed she became. Finally, Jin Zixuan said to her sternly: "Don't think that you can steal and trample on other people's feelings just because you were born into a noble family. Some people, even if they are born in a humble family, have much nobler character than the former. Please respect yourself."

Jiang Yanli finally understood some of what Jin Zixuan said.

From the beginning, Jin Zixuan didn't believe that Jiang Yanli, a girl from an aristocratic family with low cultivation, could do anything or help much on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, he felt that she was just looking for a reason to get close to him and cause trouble.

Jin Zixuan never understood her, nor did he think about understanding her, so he would not believe her.

After he said a few words, Jiang Yanli stood there and suddenly burst into tears. When Wei Wuxian came back, he saw exactly this scene.

Although his sister had a good temper, she had never shed a few tears in front of others except for the day when the three of them hugged each other and cried loudly after the destruction of Lotus Pier, not to mention crying so loudly and aggrieved in front of so many people. Wei Wuxian was completely panicked. When he asked her about it, Jiang Yanli cried so hard that she couldn't even speak clearly. He saw Jin Zixuan standing there in a daze and flew into a rage. He wondered why this bastard came again, so he kicked him and started fighting with Jin Zixuan. The two of them fought so hard that all the cultivators in the base area came out to stop them. After a lot of discussion, he found out the whole story and became even more furious. He threatened that one day he would kill Jin Zixuan, and asked people to drag the female cultivator out. After a confrontation, the truth came out and Jin Zixuan was frozen. Wei Wuxian scolded him again, but he turned ashen and didn't say a word back. He didn't fight back when he was hit. If Jiang Yanli hadn't held his hand later, and Jiang Cheng and Jin Guangshan hadn't come back and pulled Wei Wuxian away, I'm afraid Jin Zixuan would never have been able to participate in the Baifeng Mountain Hunting.

Later, although Jiang Yanli continued to stay in Langye to help, she only did her own thing in a proper manner. Not only did she no longer send soup to Jin Zixuan, she even ignored him. Soon, the crisis in Langye was resolved, and Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng took her back to Yunmeng. On the contrary, Jin Zixuan, whether because of guilt or because of the harsh scolding from Madam Jin, gradually asked Jiang Yanli more and more questions after the Sun Shooting Campaign.

Most of the people who knew about this said that it was just a misunderstanding, and what was the big deal if it was clarified? But Wei Wuxian would never think so. He hated Jin Zixuan, the self-righteous male princess, the flamboyant golden peacock, and the blind man who only looked at appearance. He didn't believe that such an arrogant person like Jin Zixuan would realize his mistakes. He suddenly became concerned about Jiang Yanli, probably because he was urged and scolded by Mrs. Jin, so he came to complete the task reluctantly.

But even though he hated it, in order not to embarrass Jiang Yanli, Wei Wuxian had no choice but to stay put. Lan Wangji looked at him sideways, as if he was puzzled, but Wei Wuxian had no time to explain to him. He just put his index finger on his lips to keep quiet and continued to look over there. His light-colored eyes stayed on the moist and plump lips for a moment before looking away.

Jin Zixuan pushed aside the grass, revealing a sturdy snake monster corpse. He leaned over for a moment and said, "Dead."

Jiang Yanli nodded.

Jin Zixuan said: "Measure the human snake."

Jiang Yanli asked: "What?"

Jin Zixuan said, "It's a monster from the southern barbarian land. It can just stand up when it sees someone, and then it will compete with you to see who's taller. If it's taller than you, it will devour you. It's not very good, it just looks scary."

Jiang Yanli seemed to not understand why he suddenly explained all this to her. Normally, she should have said something like "Mr. Jin is knowledgeable and talented" or "Mr. Jin is calm and composed." However, what he just said was just very superficial common sense, just for fun. This kind of hypocritical flattery could only be said by Jin Guangyao without shame. Jiang Yanli could only nod again. Wei Wuxian guessed that she had been nodding all the way.

There was a silence, and the awkward atmosphere penetrated the bushes and hit the faces of the two people behind the bushes. After a while, Jin Zixuan finally walked back with Jiang Yanli. However, he said as he walked, "This snake has scales on its skin, and its fangs are longer than its jaws. It must be a mutant. It is difficult for ordinary people to deal with it, and ordinary people can't shoot through this layer of scales."

After a pause, he continued in a nonchalant tone, "But it's not that great. All the prey caught in this hunt are not that great. They can't hurt our Lanling people at all."

Hearing the last two sentences, the arrogance came back to Wei Wuxian, who was unhappy, but saw Lan Wangji staring at Jin Zixuan expressionlessly. Wei Wuxian felt a little strange, and followed his gaze. He was speechless and thought to himself: "When did Jin Zixuan walk with his hands and feet together?!"

Jiang Yanli said: "It would be best if we don't hurt anyone during the hunt."

Jin Zixuan said, "What's the value of prey that doesn't hurt people? If you go to the Lanling Jin family's private hunting ground, you can see a lot of rare prey."

Wei WuXian sneered inwardly: Who wants to go to your hunting ground!

Unexpectedly, Jin Zixuan made a decision on his own and said, "It just so happens that I am free next month, I can take you there."

Jiang Yanli said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jin. But you don't have to bother me."

Jin Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Why?"

How could one answer such a question as "why"? Jiang Yanli seemed to feel uneasy and lowered her head.

Jin Zixuan asked, "Don't you like watching hunting?"

Jiang Yanli nodded, and Jin Zixuan asked, "Then why did you come this time?"

If it weren't for Madam Jin's strong invitation, Jiang Yanli would never have come, but how could she say this?

Seeing Jiang Yanli's silence, Jin Zixuan's face turned red and white, looking extremely ugly. After holding it in for a long while, he finally uttered a stiff sentence: "Do you not like watching the hunt or do you not want to join me?"

Jiang Yanli whispered: "No..."

Wei Wuxian knew that she was afraid that Jin Zixuan would ask her to go because of Madam Jin's request, but he didn't really want to in his heart, and didn't want to force him. But Jin Zixuan didn't know this, he only knew that he had never felt so embarrassed in his life. Not only was it the first time in his life that he was rejected by a girl, but it was also the first time he invited a girl and was rejected. A murderous aura rushed to his eyebrows, and after a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "Whatever."

Jiang Yanli said, "I'm sorry."

Jin Zixuan said coldly: "What do you have to feel sorry for? Think whatever you want. Anyway, it wasn't my intention to invite you. If you don't want to, forget it."

Wei Wuxian's blood rushed to his head, and he wanted to rush out and fight with Jin Zixuan again, but then he thought, it would be good for the teacher sister to see this man's true face, and despise him from now on, and never think about him again, so he suppressed his anger and wanted to endure it. Jiang Yanli's lips trembled, and he didn't say anything. He bowed slightly to Jin Zixuan and whispered, "Excuse me."

She turned and left, walking back silently. Jin Zixuan stood there coldly for a while, looking in another direction, and then suddenly said, "Stop!"

Jiang Yanli didn't turn around, and Jin Zixuan became even angrier. He took three steps to catch up with her and tried to grab her hand, but a dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and before he could see clearly, he was hit on the chest. Jin Zixuan swung his sword, stepped back a few steps, took a closer look, and said angrily: "Wei Wuxian, why are you here again!"

Wei WuXian stood in front of Jiang YanLi and said angrily, “I haven’t even said anything yet, why are you here again?!”

Jin Zixuan said: "Are you crazy for attacking without reason?"

Wei WuXian slapped him with his palm and said, “I’m going to hit you! What do you mean by without reason? What do you want to do by arresting my senior sister out of anger?”

Jin Zixuan dodged and returned his sword strike, saying, "If I don't catch her, am I going to let her wander around the mountains alone?!"

This sword beam was deflected by another one and shot straight into the sky. When Jin Zixuan saw the person coming, he asked in astonishment, "Han Guangjun?"

Lan Wangji put away Bichen and stood between the three of them, remaining silent. When Wei Wuxian was about to step forward, Jiang Yanli grabbed Wei Wuxian and said, "Ah Xian!..."

At the same time, a noisy and chaotic sound of footsteps was heard. A large group of people rushed into the forest, and the leader asked, "What's going on!"

It turned out that the two sword beams of Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan had pierced the sky, alarming the nearby monks. They knew that two people were fighting, and they rushed over together, just in time to see the strange confrontation of four people in the forest. As the saying goes, enemies often meet on narrow roads. The leader was Jin Zixuan, who said, "Zixuan, is this Wei guy bothering you again?!"

Jin Zixuan said, “It’s none of your business, so stay out of it!” Seeing Wei Wuxian pulling Jiang Yanli to leave again, he said, “Stop!”

Wei WuXian said, “You really want to fight? Okay!”

Jin Zixun said: "Mr. Wei, you have been targeting Zixuan time and again, what exactly do you mean?"

Wei WuXian glanced at him and asked, “Who are you?”

Jin Zixun was stunned and immediately became furious: "You don't even know who I am!?"

Wei WuXian asked curiously, “Why should I know who you are?”

At the beginning of the Sun Shooting Movement, Jin Zixun was injured and had to stay behind. He had not seen Wei Wuxian at the front line, but had heard about him from others. He did not take it seriously and thought that the rumors were exaggerated. Just now, Wei Wuxian summoned the evil spirits in the mountains with a whistle, and summoned away several fierce corpses that they were about to hunt, causing them to waste their efforts. He was already unhappy. Now Wei Wuxian asked him who he was in person, which made him feel inexplicably indignant: he knew Wei Wuxian, but Wei Wuxian dared not recognize him and dared to ask him who he was in public. This seemed to make him lose face, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. Just as he was about to speak, a burst of golden light flashed in the sky, and it was the second wave of people who arrived.

This group of people descended on their swords and landed smoothly. The leader was a woman with extremely beautiful features and a faintly tough outline. She was heroic when flying the sword and graceful when walking slowly. Jin Zixun said, "Aunt!"

Jin Zixuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mother! Why are you here?" Then he remembered that the swords of him and Lan Wangji were both flying high in the sky, and Madam Jin would definitely come if she saw them from the hunting platform. He looked at the several Lanling Jin clan cultivators who came with his mother and said, "Why did you bring so many people here? You don't need to interfere in the hunting."

Mrs. Jin spat, "Don't be so self-indulgent. Who said I came to see you?"

She caught a glimpse of Jiang Yanli hiding behind Wei Wuxian, and her expression instantly relaxed. She went over to hold her hand, and said softly, "A-Li, why do you look like this?"

Jiang Yanli said, "Thank you, Madam. I'm fine."

Mrs. Jin was very perceptive and asked, "Did that damn boy bully you again?"

Jiang Yanli said quickly: "No."

Jin Zixuan moved slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Mrs. Jin didn't know her son's personality, but she knew what was going on. She immediately flew into a rage and yelled at her son: "Jin Zixuan! Do you want to die? What did you tell me before you came out?!"

Jin Zixuan said: "I!..."

Wei WuXian said: “No matter what your son said to you, Madam Jin, from now on he and my senior sister will go their separate ways!”

He was angry, so his words were not very polite. Fortunately, Mrs. Jin was only concerned with comforting Jiang Yanli and did not dwell on it. Who knew that she didn't care, but someone else took the opportunity to rage. Jin Zixun shouted: "Wei Wuxian, my aunt is your elder, aren't you a little too arrogant to say that?"

Everyone else thought it made sense and agreed. Wei Wuxian said, "I'm not targeting Madam Jin. Your cousin has repeatedly abused my senior sister. If our Yunmeng Jiang Clan can still tolerate this, we are unworthy of being called a noble family! Where is the arrogance?"

Jin Zixun sneered, "Where is your arrogance? How are you not arrogant? Today is the big day of the Hundred Hunting, you are showing off very much? Thirty percent of the prey is taken by you alone, don't you feel very proud?"

Lan Wangji tilted his head slightly and said, "Thirty percent of the prey?"

Although the hundreds of people who came with Jin Zixun all had resentful expressions on their faces, when they saw Lan Wangji, who was rumored to have a very bad relationship with Wei Wuxian, speaking as if asking a question, someone immediately said impatiently, "Hanguang-jun, you don't know yet, do you? We were hunting in Baifeng Mountain just now, and after searching for a long time, we found that there was not a single evil corpse or vengeful spirit left in the hunting grounds!"

"We sent someone to ask Lian Fangzun at the hunting observation platform and learned that less than half an hour after the hunting started, a flute sound was heard from Baifeng Mountain. Then, almost all the evil corpses and vengeful spirits walked to the Yunmeng Jiang Clan's camp one after another and fell into their trap!"

"Of the three major types of prey in Baifeng Mountain, only monsters and demons are left now..."

“As for the ghosts, they have all been summoned away by Wei Wuxian alone…”

Jin Zixun said: "You totally ignore others and only care about yourself. Isn't that arrogant enough?"

Wei WuXian suddenly realized. It turned out that it was just a pretext. He smiled and said, "Didn't you say that? The opening arrow is nothing. If you have the ability, you can show your true strength in the night hunting field."

Jin Zixun laughed, as if he found it funny, and said, "You rely on evil ways, not real skills. You just play the flute twice, how can it be considered real?"

Wei WuXian asked curiously, “I didn’t do anything shady, so why doesn’t it count? You can also blow the flute a few times to see if any evil corpse ghosts are willing to follow you.”

Jin Zixun said: "You are so unruly, it's not much better than conspiracy!"

Hearing this, Lan Wangji frowned. Mrs. Jin seemed to have just noticed the dispute and said calmly, "Zixun, that's enough."

Wei WuXian was too lazy to argue with him and said with a smile: “Well, I don’t even know what the real seal is. Please take it out and defeat me, so that I can see it.”

If he could win, Jin Zixun wouldn't be so frustrated at this moment. He choked for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He sneered, "But it's no wonder that you don't think you're wrong. It's not the first time that Young Master Wei doesn't follow the rules. You didn't wear a sword at the last flower banquet and this hunting meeting. You didn't follow the etiquette at such a big occasion. Where do you put us who are attending with you?"

Wei WuXian ignored him and turned to Lan WangJi and said, “Lan Zhan, I forgot to mention that you helped me block that sword just now. Thank you.”

Seeing that Wei WuXian didn’t take him seriously, Jin ZiXun gritted his teeth and said, “The Yunmeng Jiang Clan’s family education is just so-so!”
