Messed up love

Chapter 44- Wen Qing

"It's not what you think, Lady Jiang. It's not what you think. I wasn't forced by my mother. I wasn't forced at all!" Jin Zixuan said.
More people began arriving at the chaos. The man noticed this and began to get embarrassed.
"It's me! It's me who wanted to invite you. I..." Yanli turned around in shock.
He looked around and saw everyone staring at him before running away.
Madam Jin walked up to Yanli, "A-Li, let's go. Come back with me to Carp Tower. Later, in the Floral Banquet, I'll ask him to apologize again."
Yanli slowly nodded, "Let's go."
Wei Ying gasped, "Yanli!"
"It's fine, Xian-Xian," Yanli saidz
Wei Ying sighed, "Fine. Then Madam Jin, please take care of my sister." He bowed.
Without a word or gesture, Madam Jin took Yanli away, causing Xue Yang to frown deeply. He opened his mouth but was stopped by Xingchen who shook his head.

The group was walking in Lanling City. Wei Ying was drinking some wine while the other two simply walked.
As they walked, Xingchen saw Wen Qing. He whispered to Xue Yang and Wei Ying, "Did you see that person over there?"
"No," Wei Ying replied.
"It was Wen Qing."
"What?" They all turned around and saw her on the floor. She saw them and froze.
Xingchen was the first to rush over to her, "Lady Wen, are you alright?"
Wen Qing shook her head, "A-Ning...they have a-Ning."
"Who does?" Wei Ying asked.
She looked up, "Jin Clan of Lanling."

They went ro Carp Tower and Wei Ying was the first to enter. He saw Jin Zixun offering a cup of alcohol to Wangji and walked over.
He snatched the cup and drank it all, leaving no drip behind.
"When did you get here?" Jin Zixun asked.
"Just now," Xue Yang drawled from the door as he walked over.
"Young Master Wei, Young Master Xue, why did you come so late?" Guangyao asked. "Here. Sit down, please."
"Don't bother," Wei Ying said. "I have something urgent to ask Young Master Jin Zixun." He gestured towards the door, "May I have a moment with you?"
"You can talk to me when our banquet is over."
"How long will it take?" Wei Ying asked.
Jin Zixun looked him up and down, "Six to eight hours. Or eight to ten hours maybe. Or maybe it will end tomorrow."
"I'm afraid this can't wait that long, "Xue Yang said.
"It's not up to you," Jin Zixun said.
"Wei Wuxian!" Jiang Cheng said, "Xue Yang!"
"Young Master Wei, what do you need from him?" Guangyao asked, trying to stop the trouble. "Is it that urgent?"
"Extremely urgent," Wei Ying replied. "It can't be delayed."
Jin Zixun scoffed before turning away, "Here. Clan Leader Lan. Let's drink again."
"Alright," Wei Ying walked to the middle of the room. "I'll just say it right here. Young Master Jin Zixun, please tell me. Do you know a person called Wen Ning?"
Jiang Cheng stood up.
"No," Jin Zixun said.
"You definitely know a person called Wen Ning," Xue Yang said. "A month ago, you were hunting in Ganquan and chasing an Eight-Winged Bat King to a place wjere remnants of the Wen clan live, the so caled detention place."
Wei Ying continued for him, "You took a group of the Wen Clan's disciples away. Their leader was Wen Ning."
Jin Zixun walked towards them, "I said I don't know him. I am too busy to remember the name of a bastard from the Wen Clan."
"Fine," Wei Ying said calmly. "I don't mind explaining it further to you. You couldn't catch up with the Bat King and ran into the Wen Clan's disciples who came to see what happened. So you forced them to put on Stygian Lure Flags. They were afraid to do it. One of them stood up and argued with you stutteringly. This person was Wen Ning.
"During the tarriance, the Bat King ran away. So you beat the disciples of the Wen Clan badly and took them away. They disappeared since then. Do you want me to say more details?"
"They haven't returned until now," Xue Yang added. "Besides you, we really don't know who else we can ask."
"You two," Jin Zixun said, "what do you mean? Are you asking me to hand them over? Do you want to stand up for those bastards?"
   "It doesn't concern you whether we want to speak up for them or step on them. Just hand them over," Wei Ying spat.
  "Wei Wuxian, don't be so rampant. How dare you be so rude as you stand here?" Jin Zixun yelled, "Do you really think you are so invincible that no one dares to offend you? Do you want to overturn the heavens?"
  Xue Yang scoffed, "Are you comparing yourself to the heavens? With all due respect, you really have thick skin."
  Jin Zixun stepped forward in defense but was stopped by a chuckle. "It's not a big deal," Sect Leader Jin said. "You, teenagers, get angry easily. But Young Master Wei, Young Master Xue, fairly speaking, today you disrupt the private banquet of the Jin Clan of Lanling. Isn't it improper?"
  Wei Ying turned to him and bowed, "Clan Leader Jin, I didn't want to mess with the private banquet. My apologies. However, the lives taken by Young Master Jin Zixun are uncertain so far. I'm afraid that we can't save them if we wait any longer. I am grateful to one of them, who saved my life. I have no reason to stand by. Please forgive me. I'll repay you on the future."
   "Why can't you delay it?" The older man asked. "Come and sit. I'll chat with you slowly."
  Jiang Cheng, who was watching everything, ran over, "Wei Wuxian! What are you doing?"
  Wei Ying ignored him, "That's kind of you, Clan Leader Jin, but I won't sit. This can't wait. Please solve it soon."
  "You are anxious. I'm more anxious. Calm down. Talking about this, we still have some problems yet to be solved. Since you are here, let's take the chance to tackle them all together." Clan Leader Jin said.
   "Tackle what?" Wei Ying asked.
  "Young Master Wei, I mentioned it to you a few times before. Don't you remember? In the Sunshot Campaign, you used one thing."
   "The Stygian Tiger Amulet?" Xue Yang asked, "Is there a problem?"
  "It is extremely similar to the Yin Iron. You two used it on the battlefield. It's very powerful. Besides, it hurt a lot of cultivators accidentally."
   "Please get to the point," Xue Yang said.
  "This is the point! Among the four shards of the Yin Irons, three were destroyed. One is missing. Regardless of how the Stygian Tiger Amulet was forged, its power is too strong for anyone to master."
