He was still rapidly thinking whether or not he should lie and lower Jin Guangyao's guard when Jin Guangyao smiled, as though he knew what he was thinking, "Of course he'd come. Since you were suspicious of this Guanyin Temple, Young Master Wei, of course Hanguang Jun would know of the peculiarities here as well. Young Master Wei, don't tell me you think I'd believe you if you said he didn't come with you."

Wei Wuxian, "Bravo."

Lan Xichen, "Young Master Wei, if Wangji is around, why is he not with you?"

Wei Wuxian, "We're acting separately."

Lan Xichen, however, paused in surprise, "I heard you injured yourself when you left Burial Mound. Why would he act separately with you at such a time?"

Wei Wuxian, "Who did you hear it from?"

Jin Guangyao, "I told him."

Wei Wuxian glanced at him before turning to Lan Xichen, "It's like this. I couldn't sleep tonight and took a stroll outside the inn. I only came here accidentally. Hanguang Jun's in another room. He doesn't know I went out."

Jin Guangyao found this strange, "You two got two rooms?"

Wei Wuxian, "Who told you we'd definitely get one room?

Jin Guangyao smiled, but said nothing. Wei Wuxian, "Oh, I know." Lan Xichen told him. Wei Wuxian, "You two really do talk about anything and everything."

However, there was no joking tone in Lan Xichen's voice, "Young Master Wei, did something happen between you two?"

Without the genial smile on his face, he looked even more like Lan Wangji with such a serious expression. Wei Wuxian couldn't understand why his reaction was so big. He felt guilty in the first place, "Sect Leader Lan, what could've happened between us? As of the moment, let's turn our attention to dealing with this one."

He gestured to Jin Guangyao with his eyes. With the reminder, Lan Xichen replied, "I was too impatient. My apologies."

Yet, Jin Guangyao smiled, "So it seems that a problem indeed happened. And not a small problem, at that."

Wei Wuxian returned a cold smile, "Right now, the entire cultivation world is about to crusade against you, LianFang-Zun, and you're still sitting back, aren't you? Still got the spare time to worry about others? Aren't you a chatty one?"

Jin Guangyao, "Of course not. I just had to comment. Hanguang Jun spent so many years in yearning, and even today he hasn't gotten his happy ending yet. Not only does Sect Leader Lan have a good reason to feel impatient, even an outsider can't bear watching it."

Wei Wuxian whirled around, "What yearning? What happy ending?"

Hearing this, both Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen seemed surprised. They examined his expression carefully, as though trying to see if he was purposely pretending to be oblivious. Wei Wuxian's heart suddenly began to pound, like something that had been dead for more than half the night suddenly bursted alive in his chest again.

Wei Wuxian forced himself to be calm, "What do you mean?"

Jin Guangyao, "Young Master Wei, do you really don't understand what I mean? No matter what, if Hanguang Jun heard this, it'd be a little hurtful, wouldn't it?"

Wei Wuxian, "I really don't understand. Just say it out loud!!!"

Lan Xichen was shocked, "Young Master Wei, could it be that even after you spent such a long time together with Wangji, you still do not know of his feelings?"
