"Are you sure it's him ?"
"A soul always remembers his soulmate. Last time he failed his promise to spend entirely with me and I failed my promise to protect him . My wait has come to an
end . And I can fulfill my promise . "
" But he doesn't reme...
The favor turned out to be taking him to the forge and the family of smiths that make the sabers are up near Xinglu Ridge. I wished he would explain the reason to me but stayed silent and grinned at me when ever I looked . I haven't known him for long but this person's silence must be rare .
I told my brother that I was going to run some errands and thankfully he didn't ask questions . He looked distressed and worried but he smiled at me . I , too , didn't make any enquiry about his fake assurance smile .
We reached village near Xinglu Ridge , where Nei Sect forge their swords . The last time I was here was here was for Nei Huisang saber . He developed a golden core around age of nine , which would be considered pretty late . Anyways , thankfully I still remember the path

I heard the people talk about 'Man-Eating-Catle" . Is this what the favor is about ? Is the Man-Eating-Castle related to the forge family? What is that he's not telling me ?
All questions danced in my head and looked at the man besides me who was asking some lady to the family's address . Suddenly my mouth felt bitter and I looked away . He could do whatever he wanted . So what if he personally requested me to come along in the mission .
Suddenly I heard from behind "Wangji " I turned my head knowing the voice and surpriced he was her . As I turned , I saw brother , Nie Mingjue , Nie Huaisang and Chaptai Rong .
Nie Mingjue immediately came forward and asked "Where did that idiot go?" Assuming he was talking about the idiot who came with me , I showed him direction.
Flute Master was visibly shocked and he glared at Nie Huaisang , who furiously pointed at the Cptain saying " She sold us off"
Ignoring that circus I, I turned to brother to ask some questions cause I am clearly missing on .......everything here. Let's start with the base .
" Brother what was the true reason Uncle got Qi deviation ? " I asked finally asked wanting to know about it as it seems everyone here already knows except me .
Lan Xichen helplessly looked at Captain Rong , who signed and nodded .
"The Nie Clan uses the resentful energy of beasts and creatures to cultivate their sabers, a practice that differs from solely demonic cultivation in that no human resentful energy is used. However, this particular method eventually begins to affect their owner's state of mind. As a result, nearly every Nie Clan Leader has eventually grown irritable and died of a qi deviation . That's what happened to uncle .
The sabers cultivated by Nei Sect , became strong enough to persist in their desire to kill evil spirits even after their owner's death. As this created havoc and bloodshed, the sixth head of the Nie Clan proposed a solution to appease the sabre spirits. He built a tomb for the sabres of his father and grandfather and buried with them a number of corpses that were about to turn into fierce corpses. "
" What about the legend of the "Man-Eating Castles" then?" I enquired then , while digesting the information .
"The legend of the "Man-Eating Castles" began when a group of tomb robbers broke into one of the tombs . In the process, they destroyed the corpses that were keeping the Sabre Spirits appeased. In order to maintain the balance of corpses in the castle, the castle sealed itself off and the tomb robbers then became replacements for the corpses they destroyed. The rumor of "Man-Eating Castles" was therefore true, albeit not quite as sinister as the rumors made it sound."
I turned my head towards the captain " How to prevent people from going now ?"
"To prevent ordinary people from venturing too close to the Stone Castle, Nie Clan first spread rumors of "Man-Eating Castles," and secondly, surrounded the castle with low-level walking corpses. Thirdly, a array was added to keep out cultivators ."
" Did Nie Mingjue let the rumor spread ? " I don't think that's something he would do something like that .
Nei Huisang intensely flew his fan and looked away .
