Lan Xichen trusts Jin Guangyao, but that doesn't mean he won't doubt him, but he will never doubt Lan Wangji. Lan Xichen knows best what kind of person his brother is, and since Lan Wangji chose to take action, it must be because he found evidence. It's just that the way he handled it was somewhat unexpected.
"Even so, there was no need to kill directly. Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, you are not a bloodthirsty person."
" the Lan family rules: No association with evil. If someone is evil, they should be killed. Isn't that what our older brother and uncle did as well?"
Lan Wangji spoke lightly, without a hint of emotion in his voice or even in his eyes. Lan Xichen naturally understood the underlying meaning - "No association with evil" was the same as what Lan Qiren had said when criticizing Lan Wangji for supporting Wei Wuxian.
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, you have complaints."
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, I dare not."
"Do you have to speak to your brother like this?"
"......."
In the cold room, only the sound of the wind squeezing through the leaf window remained. In a drowsy state as if just waking up, one might think it was raining outside. Other than silence, there was only silence, so long that the questioner thought they wouldn't get an answer.
" Nie Huaisang said..."
"Hmm? Huaisang?"
" Nie Huaisang said, 'Between brothers, there is no need to conceal emotions. It turns out that not all brothers are like this.'
As he spoke with his head down, Lan Wangji made a subconscious gesture—using one thumb to pick at the nail of the other thumb—this was a habit he had developed in his childhood when feeling sulky, unhappy, or sad, a gesture only Lan Xichen knew about. And at this moment, Lan Xichen was sitting opposite him."
Sure enough, the next moment:
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, it's not good, brother."
"......" (clenches fists slightly with both hands)
"Big brother doesn't know why you're doing this, but big brother believes that you must be doing it for the good of The Lan family, and also believes in your character. You are my only little brother, you don't need to worry about others, you don't have to doubt this."
"Mm."
"As for the external affairs... "
"uncle is getting older, and some things are the responsibility of Wangji "
"Alright, uncle should rest well. In the early years, it was for father, and later it was for you and me. However, you didn't often deal with people from the external sects before. Moreover, the external sects are connected to more than twenty immortal sects that are affiliated with The Lan family. If there are any difficulties, just come and ask me."
" Wangji I understand, thank you, older brother."
After an intense confrontation, Lan Wangji maintained a low-spirited demeanor as he left the cold room. It wasn't until he turned onto the bamboo path leading to the meditation room that he regained his usual cold and aloof expression. He sighed slightly, feeling that acting was truly not easy. He wondered how Nie Huaisang managed to master this skill so effortlessly. He was not one to employ manipulative tactics, but the current situation was different. As long as he could achieve his goal, he was willing to become a mere chess piece on the board.
A irregular sound came from deep within the bamboo forest, fine and rapid, resembling an assassination attempt. However, Lan Wangji did not move, but stood still and waited.
"I have seen Lord Hanguang."
"Speak."
"We've received news from the Golden Forest Platform."
"Good, pass the order down, as soon as Jin Guangyao appears in Lanling, take action immediately."
"Do we need to inform Qinghe over there?"
"No need."
"Okay."
The person's movements are like a ghostly shadow, only those with high cultivation like Nie Mingjue and Lan Xichen have the possibility of tracing any clues. His cultivation is mediocre, barely at the early stage of the Golden Core, but his agility is extreme. At his peak, even Lan Wangji couldn't guarantee catching him. Lan Wangji only knows such a skilled tracker because he saved someone during a night hunt many years ago, a favor he didn't hold onto at the time, but unexpectedly comes in handy now.
Lan Wangji has accumulated numerous favors over the years of helping during chaos. Now, as he needs to avoid The Lan family for some business, he plans to select a group of people from those who want to repay his kindness to keep by his side.
The person has been gone for a long time, but Lan Wangji is still standing there, staring blankly without knowing where his gaze is focused on the bamboo leaves.
Has he changed? He must have changed, no longer the original Lan Wangji, and it's possible that he will continue to change until he is unrecognizable.
Do you regret it? I regret, but not because I've become different from my original self, but because I didn't change earlier.
"Wei Ying, I regret. Will you blame me?"
Unfortunately, murmuring to oneself, no one can hear, and even the biggest wound can only be licked in secret.
