Jin Guangyao was more than shocked. "Brother? Hadn't Brother been buried? Both you and I saw it with our own eyes!"
Nie Huaisang thought that he might have heard wrong. "Brother? Brother Xichen? You mean my brother? And also your brother???" He was very confused.
Lan Xichen nodded heavily. Nie Huaisang's eyes rolled up. He collapsed on the ground with a thud. A circle of people immediately began to shout.
"Clan Leader Nie! Clan Leader Nie!"
"Where's the medic?!"
Yīnghuā wanted to help the Nie but couldn't stop from crying even harder.
Jin Guangyao's eyes still held tears, but appeared as if they were red with anger. He clenched his hands into fists and shouted with both grief and resentment. "Dismembered... Dismembered! Who in this world could've done such an insane act?!"
Lan Xichen shook his head, tightening his grip on the pink haired female whose tears had stopped and were only mere sniffles. "I do not know. When we were searching for the head, the clues disappeared."
Jin Guangyao paused. Did he finally get it? "The clues disappeared... so you came to search me?"
Lan Xichen was silent. Jin Guangyao looked as if he didn't believe it. "You wanted me to open the treasure room, because you were suspicious... that Brother's head is at my place?" He asked again, more carefully this time.
A look of guilt passed over Lan Xichen's face.
Jiang Yīnghuā abruptly backed away from her husband, not believing her ears. Lan Xichen's and everyone else's eyes widened. Her eyes were red and puffy, tears still in the corners of her eyes, while her cheeks were tear streaked and her nose rosy. "Huan.." She murmured, confused.
Jin Guangyao's head hung low, Qin Su's corpse still in his arms. After a while, he finally spoke. ".. Forget it. Drop the matter. But, Brother, how did Hanguang Jun know that such a treasure chamber was inside my bedchamber? And how was it decided that Brother's head is inside my room? Koi Tower is quite fortified. If this really was my doing, would I have let Brother's head be discovered so easily?"
Hearing his questions, Lan Xichen couldn't seem to find any answers. Not only he, Wei Wuxian couldn't answer them either. Who could've expected that, within such a short time, Jin Guangyao was not only able to move the head somewhere else, but also prompt Qin Su to take her own life before everyone's eyes?! Look what had happened because of it! Jiang Yīnghuā was in tears!
As he his thoughts spun with desperation, Jin Guangyao sighed. "Xuanyu, did you tell this to Brother and all those people? What's the use of making up this sort of easily exposable lies?"
"Lianfang Zun, who are you talking about?" One of the Clan Leaders asked.
"Who? The one standing beside Hanguang Jun, of course." Somebody answered coldly.
