After finishing the last sip of mare's milk wine, Wei Wuxian pursed his lips with a hint of regret, unexpectedly not receiving the expected response. He couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly and leaned forward as he approached.
"No way, Nie Huaisang, did you also drag Lan Zhan into this? How could you involve Lan Zhan!"
"Don't you dare pin the blame on me. It was Lord Hanguang who wanted to get involved on his own."
"You're talking nonsense! You must have said something to Lan Zhan. Otherwise, with his temperament, he wouldn't even bother to look at irrelevant people."
"Tsk, you seem to understand Lord Hanguang quite well~"
"Don't give me any attitude! I don't care, find a way to remove Lan Zhan!"
"I can't control Lord Hanguang, and how do you know he wouldn't want to?"
"I... (sighs) He shouldn't have been involved, he's such a clean person, he should have been untainted Lord Hanguang for his whole life, why would he have any connection with someone like me."
"Sigh... Why does it sound like you're scolding me? So I'm also 'that kind of person' like you?"
"Hmph, you? The outhouse is in the back, go by yourself."
"Disgusting! You should take a good look at yourself before criticizing me! What's wrong with me? At least I'm one of the top ten young masters of a prestigious family! Wei, you can't belittle even your own brother for Lord Hanguang."
"What do you mean I'm doing this for Lan Zhan! Watch your words!"
Wei Wuxian grabbed a book from the nearby and threw it at Nie Huaisang without aiming, knowing that he would dodge it. There was no other reason, just the desire to express his dissatisfaction strongly.
"You look at yourself! You get anxious as soon as Lord Hanguang is mentioned. Do you know what that's called? You're just a little daughter-in-law who can't bear to see her man suffer!" (dodges)
" Nie Huaisang! I think you've forgotten what it feels like to get beaten up! I'll help you remember!"
Wei Wuxian was about to jump up and hit someone, but he forgot about his current physical condition. He hadn't even stood up properly before he was choked by a coughing fit and fell back onto the bed, successfully scaring Nie Huaisang out of his wits.
"Cough, cough! Cough, cough..."
"Oh Wei, calm down, Wei! You can't cough like this. We haven't achieved our great cause yet. You can't leave me alone!"
"Stop coughing... Stop cursing me! If it weren't for you making me angry, I wouldn't be coughing..."
"My bad, my bad! Here, have some water to ease your throat."
After a while, Wei Wuxian's breathing finally calmed down, and the commotion had made both of them much calmer. Especially Wei Wuxian, in the past year, he had thought about inquiring about Lan Wangji's news, but each time he held back.
"How is Lan Wangji... doing?"
"Brother Wei, do you really want to listen?"
"What's the matter?" (serious)
"There's nothing much to say about my collusion with Lord Hanguang, it's just a part of the plan. The targets have been identified, and those to be eliminated are all evildoers. However, there is one thing that I think, Brother Wei, you should know."
"......" (Staring straight ahead, feeling uneasy)
"After cultivating for so long, you should remember some things about the sleepless nights, such as how you returned to the Chaotic Burial Ground."
"At that time, my divine sense was damaged, so I don't remember much, but I know it was Lan Zhan."
"Yes."
"Did Lan Zhan get punished after returning? Even if his family didn't punish him, he would definitely go and accept the punishment. Huaixiang, you have to tell me, what happened to Lan Zhan!" (Urgent)
"He was severely injured while saving you, and he hurt 33 elders of The Lan family on that day."
"What!? He..." (eyes wide open in shock)
"After returning, he received Thirty-Three Rods of Discipline."
"Thirty-three... rods of discipline..."
If possible, Wei Wuxian would rather take the punishment himself, even though it's the most severe in the family's punishment system. He knows about the punishment in The Lan family, made of century-old thorny branches and dipped in bitter water. It's said that being whipped with it feels like a thousand nails piercing the body, and the scars take months to heal. Even after healing, the pain from the scars would still linger for years.
"How is Lan Zhan's injury?"
"Immortal Sect Except for the Qihuang lineage, the best medical skills are all in The Lan family. Although the discipline is strict, it's not incurable. It's been three years already, Lord Hanguang's injury should have healed long ago, but it must have left behind hidden troubles."
"Yeah, it's been three years..."
"Wei, do you... want to see him?"
Do you want to meet? Saying you don't want to is definitely a lie, but Wei Wuxian doesn't dare to gamble. It's been long enough for him to figure out what kind of thoughts he's hiding, but even if he washes away his bad reputation, he still feels that the clean words "Lan Wangji" and "Lord Hanguang" should not be associated with him in any way, always afraid of implicating this person.
Nie Huaisang is still a young and inexperienced person, but he has heard countless words since he was young, and has long seen through Wei Wuxian's thoughts and concerns, otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned Lan Wangji.
"Wei, whether we meet or not, you can temporarily not consider it. You need to first think clearly about one thing."
"What thing?" (slightly dazed)
"I can't understand whether it's the world that doesn't understand Wei Wuxian, or if it's Wei Wuxian who doesn't understand himself."
"I..."
Nie Huaisang said as he got up to leave. He had come all the way to the frontier and couldn't stay cooped up in the tent all day. He wanted to properly appreciate the grassland scenery. He had heard that his elder brother was giving martial arts lessons to the Wen family's children, and he should go take a look to prevent his brother from accidentally using too much force and injuring someone else's child.
When he opened the curtain, he paused and added, "Brother Wei, caring about someone isn't just about whether you are willing or not, but also about asking if the other person is willing. Sometimes, being scolded together can also be a beautiful moment."
