Wei Wuxian: AHH! this is the first ever time I am regretting my decision of choosing this donkey as the mount. This entire time I am either being kicked or ignored...ahh no fair....totally not fair....[sighs] thinking of mounting....my sword....[sighs]....ah I am sure 'Prominent Sect Leaders' would have searched for it the moment I died to hang it as a trophy to show the defeat of Great Yilling Patriarch' [sighs]

Juniors: "hahaha that donkey"  "oh...his sword.."   "Suibian was kept by Jin clan leader Jin Guangyao, wasn't it"   "yes it was"  

After pushing and pulling along for a few blocks, the road reached a vast farmland of some village. Under the scorching sun, there was a large pagoda tree and thick, green grass underneath it. Beside the tree, there was an old well, with a barrel and a dipper on the side, placed there by the farmers for any passersby to quench their thirst. The donkey ran over there and nothing could make it leave. Wei WuXian hopped down and slapped its honoured buttocks, "You're definitely destined for wealth, even harder to please than me."

The donkey spat at him."....."

"don't this donkey have quite an attitude"  "yeaa man, so choosy"

While they fooled around aimlessly, a group of people approached from within the fields.

The people carried handmade bamboo baskets, and wore cotton clothes and straw sandals, emitting the rustic airs of rural villagers. In the group, there was a young girl with a round face that could be considered delicate. Possibly because of walking for too long under the sun, they also wanted to come over to rest by the shade and have some water. However, seeing that there was a wild donkey tied to the tree and a lunatic with mask on his face as if it is too hedeious to show and dishevelled hair, they were reluctant to go over.

Wei WuXian had always thought of himself as one who was courteous towards women, so he moved over, emptying some space, and went to struggle with the donkey. After realizing that he was harmless, the people were finally at ease to come over. All of them were drenched in sweat and had ruddy cheeks; some were fanning themselves and some fetching water. The girl sat by the well and smiled at Wei WuXian, as if she knew that he purposely moved away.

Jiang Cheng, "since when you were 'COURTEOUS' towards women" Wei Ying, "Since When I was not"  Jiang Cheng, "do you want me to open everything in front of your...."  Wei Ying, "alright I am quite...why getting angsty...hehehe [awkward nervous laugh].....Lan Zhan no need to look at me with those suspicious eyes....don't you believe me.....don't you think I, your wife is courteous enough...[pouting and battering his eyes] "  Lan Wangji still staring at him, "Lannn Zhhhan Jiang Cheng is bluffing I really didn't did anything with anyone in the past but you.."  

Jiang Cheng, "what do you mean by 'IN THE PAST' "

Wei Wuxian, "ahh hahaha [nervous] did I say in the past...I mean I didn't do anything with anyone but Lan Zhan....yes I meant that....hahaha"  

One of the people held a compass in his hand. He looked into the distance, and then lowered his head questioningly, " Weird, we're already at the foot of Dafan Mountain, so why hasn't the pointer started moving yet?"

The designs and pointer on the compass looked strange, indicating that it wasn't a normal compass. It wasn't one that showed the North, South, East, and West, but one that showed the directions malicious creatures, also known as a "Compass of Evil." Wei WuXian realized that this was probably a poor cultivation clan from the countryside. Aside from highbrow, affluent clans, there were also smaller clans like this, who closed their doors and cultivated on their own.

Wei WuXian," they might have left their village to either find a clan whom they were distant relatives to, or to go night-hunting. "

The middle-aged man leading the group called for people to take a drink and replied, "Your compass might be broken; I'll get you a new one later. Dafan Mountain is less than ten miles ahead of us, which means that we cannot rest for too long. We have struggled through the whole journey, and if we relax now and fall behind, with other people beating us to it, it wouldn't have been worth it."
