Wei Wuxian, who was looking down, said softly, "Zhao Zhuliu, you really think you can keep his life safe from my hands?"
Wen Zhou still stood in front of Wen Zhou.
Wei Wuxian sneered and tidied up his sleeves slowly. He said, "A loyal dog named Wen."
He whispered, "Zhao Zhuliu, do you still believe that you are a good man?
"Repaying Wen Ruohan's kindness by obeying him without question, regardless of right or wrong. Sigh... What a wonderful person.
"Kindness and gratitude. Ha."
Suddenly, his tone and expression turned sinister as he shouted, "Why should your kindness make others pay the price!"
Before his words were finished, there came the shrill cries from behind Wen Zhuliu!
Wen Zhou had crawled to the corner of the wall, trying to squeeze himself through a crack in the wooden boards. Little did he know that something red suddenly fell from above.
Wen Zhou was covered by an object and cried out. Wei Wuxian saw him but remained calm.
"Blue Visionary! What are you doing up there!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Wei Wuxian said, "I'm fine. Just a little playful."
After a while of silence, Jiang Cheng walked forward and slapped him on the back. He said with delight, "Brat! Where have you been for these three months!"
His words were filled with joy despite his anger. Blue Visionary's gaze remained fixed on Wei Wuxian; his expression was cold and he seemed to be in turmoil internally. Wei Wuxian returned the slap and laughed, saying, "Haha, too many stories to tell! Too many stories to tell!"
The chilly atmosphere that had been with him since he came up the stairs instantly dissipated when these two slaps were exchanged.
Jiang Cheng said, "Didn't we agree to meet at the foot of the mountain town? I waited for five or six days but didn't see your shadow! While managing my family's affairs and searching for you, there was no sign of you!"
Wei Wuxian sat back on his chair and waved his hand. He said, "I've got a lot to tell, but it's hard to say in one word. They caught me in that mysterious place."
Jiang Cheng asked with surprise, "What kind of place? Did the people in town not recognize you at all?"
Wei Wuxian said, "You asked the townspeople? They are country folk who dare not speak truthfully; they all said they've never seen me!"
Jiang Cheng cursed, "A bunch of old fools!" He continued, "What kind of place? Was it Mount Qi? How did you get out? And what are those things? They actually listen to your commands! Before this, when Brother Two and I were tasked with killing Wen Zhou, someone else beat us. I didn't expect it to be you! Did you also change the talismans?"
Wei Wuxian looked sideways at Blue Visionary who was watching him. He smiled slightly and said, "I found a mysterious cave in that place, where there are ancient texts left by sages. That's how I ended up like this, do you believe it?"
Jiang Cheng asked with disdain, "You've read too many tales! How can the world be full of sages and hidden caves everywhere!"
Wei Wuxian shrugged his shoulders and said, "See? You don't believe me even after hearing. Let's talk about it later."
