"What did you say!? You want me to repair the temple?"
Wei Wuxian almost sprayed a mouthful of horse milk liquor onto the face of the person opposite him. The heavens probably knew how difficult it was for him to stop his actions. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to Nie Huaisang who had come from a far distance to visit him secretly. Of course, the more important reason was that he couldn't bear to waste the small pot of horse milk liquor he had begged for on Nie Huaisang's thick-skinned face.
"Yes, isn't the Ancestor Yiling worthy of being worshipped by the people with a temple?"
"Nie-xiong, this wasn't part of the plan we discussed before, right?"
"Before, there wasn't, but now there is!"
Nie Huaisang blinked his eyes, Wei Wuxian blinked his eyes, and there was an atmosphere of "Can you guess if I can guess" in the room for a while. After a long time, Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes and took a sip of horse milk wine, saying:
"According to the plan, once the entire cultivation world believes that Ancestor Yiling has returned, all we need to do is to use Xue Yang and this board axe to unveil the Lanling Jin's mask. Then all the attention will be directed towards Golden Forest Platform, without the support of the Nie and Lan families, the Jin family won't last long. Those who deserve punishment will be punished, those who deserve to die will die, and everything will be resolved. Why are you here now? Aren't you afraid of causing more trouble?"
"Wei, do you want to hide here for the rest of your life?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"It's not that it's wrong, but it's a waste to let go of you, the elegant Wei Wuxian, with a face like a jade plate and a body like a jade tree~"
"Ah~ Look at you, look at you, I've got goosebumps all over. Nie Huaisang! We've been friends for so many years, you wouldn't be thinking of selling me to a brothel after everything is settled, and then making money by bringing in customers to pay off debts, would you?"
"Ah! It's a way to make money! Wei brother, are you willing?"
"Willing your mother's egg! Pah!"
Whether it's Wei Wuxian or Nie Huaisang, the two of them haven't been this relaxed for a long time. It's as if they've returned to their teenage years, listening to lectures in the study at Cloud Recesses. Wei Wuxian is actually very grateful to Nie Huaisang. Despite only having a three-month friendship, he was still willing to come see him during the notorious days, risking his life to save him.
"I'm not joking, Wei-xiong, I'm serious. I know you don't care about reputation, only seeking a clear conscience. But if all the righteous people were like you, then in the days to come, there will only be a den of snakes and rats left. If you are willing but powerless, then so be it. But your cultivation is enough to dominate the cultivation world. You have the power but choose to turn a blind eye, only clinging to your past and drowning in self-pity and resentment. This is definitely not the Wei Wuxian that I know."
"......"
"Wei, there are some responsibilities that you cannot escape. I believe you would also prefer to see a peaceful and prosperous world."
"(Laughs) How do you know that I would prefer that? My master, in her old age, has also secluded herself from the world for centuries. It shows my respect for my master and the Dao, doesn't it?"
"At that time, the sect was declining while the noble families were thriving. Master Baoshan came from the sect and was isolated and helpless. How could she resist the passage of time? Her seclusion was a last resort. But you are different! Wei, you have me, Nieshi, and the Lan behind you. As time changes, there will be many more ambitious individuals and the common people in the streets and alleys."
"Brother Nie, the way you're talking... it's like I can have whatever I want."
"You really can't."
"That's what I'm saying..." (interrupted)
"But you can."
"What do you mean?"
"It means you don't have to worry about it. I will take care of it. Just make sure Qihong and the others continue to follow my orders."
"They still don't listen to your orders? Since I came to the Qilian Mountains, Qihong has never returned to report."
"Haha, Qihong and the others come and go without a trace, much more useful than those cultivators under my command. Anyway, we are like grasshoppers on the same rope, whether they listen to me or you, it's all the same."
"Alright, alright, say whatever you want. I don't really want to bother with those people. If you want to cultivate, go ahead, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, but there's just one thing."
"What?"
"Don't make me look ugly."
"I thought you didn't care?"
"Different! Reputation is fake, but appearance is real. I'd rather be a villainous handsome man than a good-looking goody-two-shoes."
"Tch~"
The matter of repairing the temple was basically settled. Wei Wuxian picked up the wine jug and shook it, realizing there wasn't much left, so he decided to finish it all in one go. Nie Huaisang was pondering another matter, or strictly speaking, another person, hesitating on whether to bring it up. Fortunately, Wei Wuxian was sharp-eyed and noticed with just a glance.
"Say what you want to say."
"Wei, aren't you curious why I said there's still the Lan behind your back?"
"What's there to be angry about? It's just that you've also brought Marshal Ze Wu into this."
"Not at all, not at all."
"What's going on? It can't be Mr. Lan, right?"
"Wei, don't make such a huge joke."
"Could it be Lan Zhan again?"
