Summary

Yunmeng siblings investigate the truth behind Wei Wuxian's death


"Wei Wuxian is dead, and you have to pay with your own lives." Zidian crackling furiously.

"Sect Leader Jiang, please. Don't make commotion at my place." Jin Guangshan states.

"Sect Leader Jiang, please hold back." Jin Guangyao appears at Jiang Wanyin's side.

"Wei Wuxian is dead and you told Jin Zixuan that he's the caster of the curse, so you should be healed by now. Show us your body, you fucking asshole." Jiang Wanyin shouts at Jin Zixun.

"How dare you insult me, Sect Leader Jiang?" Jin Zixun shouts back.
"He is right, show us your chest now." Jin Zixuan demands him.


Jin Zixun is surprised, and he has no other option than to open his robe and show his chest to all the guests in the hall. When his chest is shown, there were murmurs among the guests. The curse is still there even though Wei Wuxian has died.


"You, you evil. Wei Wuxian didn't curse you. You killed my brother for nothing." Jiang Wanyin attacks Jin Zixun with Zidian. Zixun falls backward due to the strength used by Jiang Wanyin.

"Sect Leader Jiang, please hold on. We should interrogate him first. My cousin is not smart enough to point his finger on Wei Wuxian. Somebody must have fed him this lies." Jin Zixuan holds Jiang Wanyin from attacking Jin Zixun again.

"A-Cheng, A-Xuan is right. We have to know the real culprit who wants A-Xian died." Jiang Yanli tries to soothe her brother.

"Go on, tell us who told you it was Wei Wuxian who had cursed you."

"Jin Guangyao told me so. And... and..." Jin Zixun looks like he wants to say something, he glanced at Sect Leader Jin.

"Speak, or I will strike you again with Zidian till you die." Jiang Wanyin shouts at Jin Zixun, Zidian crackling loudly emitting purple

"When I first found out that I was being cursed, I report to Sect Leader Jin. He was talking with Jin Guangyao. He's the one who told me that Wei Wuxian behind this curse." Jin Zixun points his finger to Jin Guangyao.

 "Sect Leader said I should stop Wei Wuxian from coming to this banquet. I was given 300 men to support my cause. How am I supposed to know that Wei Wuxian is not the one who cursed me? He's the master of demonic cultivation". Jin Zixun tries to defend himself.

"Jin Guangyao, what proofs do you have you dare to accuse my brother?" Jiang Wanyin asks Jin Guangyao

"Is he? Is Wei Wuxian your brother? Didn't you already disown him from Yunmeng Jiang Sect?" Jin Guangyao says coolly.

"You. How dare you. You have no right to say that. What do you know about our family?" Jiang Wanyin spats

"A-Yao, you're the one who tells me about the ambush? Do you also wish for me to die? Is that so? What are your plans?" Jin Zixuan looks disappointed.

"Xuan-ge, I didn't mean that. You know I would never put you in danger." Jin Guangyao smiles so sweet

"Are you, A-Yao? Do you not intend to murder both my husband and brother? So you can be the next heir? What is my father in law asks from you?" Jiang Yanli asks coldly.

"Sister in law, please listen to me. Wei Wuxian is not your adopted brother. He committed crimes, he killed all the guards at the Qiongqi and raised that creature," Jin Guangyao points his finger toward Wen Ning, "You certainly do not want the Jin Clan's to be tarnished by his crimes, do you?."


"So you just accused my brother, randomly? Without any proof?"

Zidian crackles, and suddenly it lifts Jin Guangyao in the air.

 "Answer her, you snake! How dare you put a plot against my brother."

"Sect Leader Jiang, even if you kill me, Wei Wuxian will not come back to life." Jin Guangyao smirks

"You...." Jiang Wanyin grits his teeth

Jiang Yanli touches Sect Leader Jiang's hand, "A-Cheng, let me talk some sense to him."

"A-Yao, do you realize that you and my brother have something in common? It's the urge to please everyone. I know that look A-Yao; it's the same as my A-Xian. He always wanted to please my parents. Just like you who want to please Sect Leader Jin. What did he ask you, A-Yao? Are you desperate enough for his approval that you willingly be punished along with Zixun for murdering my brother?" Jiang Yanli looked at Jin Guangyao with furious

"Yanli, how dare you accused me, I am the Sect Leader here." Sect Leader Jin roars in anger.

"Let her speak, Sect Leader Jin." Sect Leader Nie interrupts.

"Thanks, Sect Leader Nie." Jiang Yanli nods to Sect Leader Nie

"As I said, my brother in Law, Jin Guangyao, and my husband's cousin, Jin Zixun, had committed crime by killing my brother, Wei Wuxian. Jin Zixun already admitted that Sect Leader Jin ordered him and provided 300 men to stop my brother from coming here. I think it's not just about the 100 holes curse, but it something else that they want from my brother. The Jins want his weapon, the Stygian Tiger Seal. Am I right, Jin Guangyao?" Jiang Yanli asks Jin Guangyao. 

She then turns to Sect Leader Nie Mingjue,

"Sect Leader Nie, you know  Jin Guangyao better than me. I believe you would make a better judgment." 

"A-Xian once told me never to trust the Jins, but my love for Zixuan blinds me." Jiang Yanli looks down

"Young Master Wei was planning on destroying the seal, but he knew it would have severe backlash. He was still working on finding a way to minimize the backlash." Wen Ning suddenly interrupts.

Wen Ning looks at Jin ZIxuan, "Young Master Jin, you've promised me that Young Master Wei will be fine. Instead, he died here. I should've taken him with me to Burial Mounds. My Jiejie could have saved him. You lied to me." Wen Ning growls in sorrow.

"Young Master Wen, I am sorry, if only I knew Wei Wuxian had lost his golden core. I thought, here in Jinlintai he could get the best treatment," Jin Zixuan looks down.

"If only I knew this would happen, I would try harder to prevent Master Wei from coming here. Jiejie already reminds Young Master Wei not to come, for there might be a trap, but he was so excited to be invited by you, Madam Jiang. He loves you so much that he willingly take the risk. Besides, it was Young Master Lan's handwriting, Young Master Wei trusted him more than anyone. He told me that Young Master Lan would never deceive him. That the Jins are sincere in inviting him for this banquet. But he was wrong, all of you killed him." Wen Ning roars in anger and grief.

"He was the best person I've known, and he was the only one who stood for us. Do you know who the Wen remnants? They are merely elderly and non-cultivators, but you condemn us. Master Wei saved us, despite his lack of golden core. He stood for us against the world. He leaves his family to protect us. No one in this room has the same quality as Master Wei. I will bring Master Wei back to Burial Mounds. Everyone in Burial Mounds is waiting for him."

"You are a fierce corpse, you have no right telling us what is right and wrong." sect Leader Yao says

"He is Wen Ning, Wei Ying's friend. Not a corpse." Lan Wangji glares at Sect Leader Yao. Sect Leader Yao shrieks at that. Lan Wangji then turns his head to Wen Ning,

"I will help you carry Wei Ying to Burial Mounds." Lan Wangji keeps his hold on Wei Wuxian's body. He then carries Wei Wuxian's body, bridal-style carry. Everyone gasps at the gesture.

"Wen Ning, who do you think you are? Wei Wuxian belongs to Lotus Pier, not Burial Mounds. You can't take him anywhere, but Lotus Pier." Sect Leader Jiang roars in anger.

"Sect Leader Jiang, forgive me, but weren't you the one who disowned him from the Jiang Sect?"

Wen Ning bows and ready to take his leave; he turns to Lan Wangji.
"Second Young Master Lan, let's go. A-Yuan is waiting for his Xian-gege."

"Mn." Lan Wangji unsheathed Bichen and prepares to leave. A hand holds him tight, he looks that it's his brother.

"Wangji" Lan Xichen tries to hold Lan Wangji.
"Brother, you could come and look for yourself who the Wen remnants are. The Jins are liars."
With that, Lan Wangji carries Wei Wuxian and flies to the Burial Mounds.
