Who You Are Book 2

Chapter 81 - The Real Culprits

I'm sorry it took me so long to post an update. I just wanted to take a couple days to rest from writing. I am slowly getting back into updating so thank you for being patient. I will be posting updates for my other fanfics soon. In the meantime, here is an update for you.

...

Su She finally realized what went wrong, immediately covering up his chest with his lapels. However, the people who'd been facing him had already seen with clarity the part of his chest that was revealed. The skin closest to his heart was thickly dotted with over a dozen hideous holes that varied in size.

Marks of the Hundred Holes curse!

And this definitely wasn't a curse mark left behind by the curse. If that were to be the case, judging from how spread-out these holes were, right now Su She's organs or even golden core should be covered in holes. He definitely wouldn't be able to use his spiritual powers. However, he could still use the transportation talisman repetitively, which drained spiritual energy. Then there could only be one explanation for where these marks came from—they had to be marks left after he cursed someone else and received a backlash!

Back then, it wasn't that Wei Wuxian didn't try his hardest to find whom the culprit was in attempt to rectify his name, but there were just too many people. On top of that, finding the culprit wouldn't at all be able to sort out what happened afterward, and so he let go of the hope. Yet tonight, so long after the fruitless searching, it fell right into his lap!

...

"Wei Wuxian looks infuriated, as one should be," Wen Ruohan stated.

"It took so long, but we finally found the person who did it," Lan Wangji said.

"I'm glad, his death was satisfying," Wuxian said folding his arms to his chest and leaned his back against Lan Wangji's chest.

"Wei Wuxian?" Cangse Sanren said in a warning type of voice.

"What? You want him alive?" Wuxian asked.

"No, I'm just saying, since he is dead, best not dwell on it," Cangse told him.

"Fine," Wuxian said.

...

Jin Ling didn't understand. Nie Huaisang probably didn't understand either. But Lan Xichen had already looked to Jin Guangyao, "Sect Leader Jin, was this also part of the plan to attack Qiongqi Path?"

Jin Guangyao, "Why do you think so?"

Jiang Cheng's was cold, "Is it necessary to ask? If Jin Zixun weren't cursed, nothing that happened afterwards would have to happen! The attack helped you remove Jin Zixuan and Jin Zixun, both of whom were of the same generation as you. It cleared away everything that obstructed your path to the Lanling Jin Sect and the position of Chief Cultivator. Su She was behind the curse, and he's a trusted subordinate of yours. Is it really necessary to ask whose orders he followed?!"

Jin Guangyao refused to answer, as though he was focused on meditation.

Wei Wuxian laughed out of rage, staring at Su She, "Have I done anything to you? I held no enmity towards you—I didn't even know you!"

Jin Guangyao, "Young Master Wei, shouldn't you be the one who knows this the most? Could you be safe just because you hold no enmity? How could that be? In this world, everyone began without enmity. Someone would eventually lunge with the first stab."

...

"Oooh, that was low!" Wen Qing scowled.

Wei Wuxian, like on the screen, had tears falling down his face. Lan Wangji noticed and gently turned him around so Wuxian was facing him.
