Who You Are Book 2

Chapter 77 - Threats

Hearing that someone was knocking, all of the people within the temple perked up their ears, looking at the entrance. The two monks who closed the doors seemed as though they faced a great threat. Soundlessly, they pointed their swords towards the doors.

Jin Guangyao's expression didn't change at all, "Who is it?"

The person outside, "Sect Leader, it's me!"

It was Su She's voice. Jin Guangyao gestured, and the two monks took off the bolt. Su She entered along with the roaring storm.

Affected by the wind and rain, the row of candles fluttered and flickered. The two monks immediately shut the doors again. Su She was drenched by the storm. His face was cold, and his lips were frozen to become a shade of purple. In his right hand he held his sword, and in his left a person. After he entered, he was just about to throw the person down when he saw Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji on two cushions by the side, still stuck together and refusing to part.

Su She had just suffered quite some losses from these two. His expression changed, and he immediately unsheathed his sword, glancing at Jin Guangyao. Seeing how he looked like nothing was wrong, Su She knew that these two were definitely under control already. He finally calmed down.

Jin Guangyao, "What's wrong?"

Su She, "I met him on my way here. I thought he might be useful, so I caught him."

Jin Guangyao approached and looked down, "Did you hurt him?"

Su She, "No. He was scared and passed out." As he spoke, he tossed the person onto the ground. Jin Guangyao, "MinShan, don't be so rough with him. He can't take scares and falling down."

Su She hurried, "Yes." He then picked up the person whom he threw around and carefully placed them beside Lan Xichen. Lan Xichen had been staring at the person. He pushed aside their wet, messy hair and looked. The person who had been scared unconscious was indeed Nie Huaisang. He'd probably been caught by Su She after he finished resting at Lotus Pier, on his way back to Qinghe.

He looked up, "Why did you seize Huaisang?"

Jin Guangyao, "With another sect leader here, the others would be to some extent more careful anyways. But Brother, please don't worry. You know how I've always been towards Huaisang. When the time comes, I'll definitely let you two leave without harm."

Lan Xichen's voice sounded indifferent, "Should I believe you?"

Jin Guangyao, "It's your choice. Whether you believe me or not, Brother, you can't do anything about it, can you?"

At this point, Su She threw his cool gaze towards Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. He snickered, "Hanguang Jun, Yiling Patriarch, who would've thought we'd meet so soon? And the tables have completely been turned. So how does it feel?"

Lan Wangji didn't say anything. He never paid attention to such meaningless provocations. Wei Wuxian thought to himself, 'How have the tables been turned? You were running away defeated back on Burial Mound, but aren't you also running away defeated right now?'

Perhaps Su She had been holding it back for too many years. He'd keep on rambling all on his own even without anyone provoking him. He examined Lan Wangji from top to bottom and mocked, "Things are already like this, and you're still holding up the front you think looks so calm and collected. How long do you want to keep it up for?"

Lan Wangji was still silent. Lan Xichen, however, spoke up, "Sect Leader Su, when you were studying in the GusuLan Sect, I believe we never treated you badly. Why do you attack Wangji like this?"
