Wangxian : Oracle Of Pearl

Head Shaker

Carrying Wei WuXian, he kicked the door open.

The two doors sprang open, and the person who sat nervously inside instantly wailed, “HanGuang-Jun, I don’t know, I don’t know, I…”

"Hey...that's sounds like me ..but strange " Nie Huaisang said , ending his sentence with confusion.

The Nie sect prepared themselves to observe their sect leader.

After he realized in what posture the two of them came inside, he stared blankly at them, barely managing to finish the last sentence, “… I really don’t know.”

Poor me ! Got startled by the mighty Hanguang-jun carrying Yiling patriarch .....I feel you future me " Nie Huaisang said in his usual dramatic.

Nie Mingjue shakes his head in disappointment as he saw his brother fearful attitude .

"Seems like you never grow up " Nie Mingjue scolded his brother.

Lan WangJi put the piece of fabric that the spiritual dog had bitten off onto the table. Nie HuaiSang felt for his sleeve that lacked a certain scrap, then replied miserably, “I just happened to pass by. I really don’t know anything.”

"Huh...that belongs to me ...but why should I harm Jin heir" Nie Huaisang murmured but instantly regrets it .

As soon they saw it's Nie Huaisang, both jins and Jiangs turned their glare at Nie Huaisang.

It's not my brother. He could never harm anyone...let one use kids for his own purpose" Nie Mingjue vouched for his innocent brother.

Wei WuXian, “If you don’t know, I’ll talk. As you listen to me, maybe you’ll figure that you do know some things after all.”

What exactly is the QingheNie Sect’s goal of building the Man-Eating Castle on the Xinglu Ridge? Where did the corpses in the wall come from? Were they eaten? Sect Leader Nie, if you don’t give us a proper explanation here, I’m afraid that, after the secret is exposed, all of the sects and clans come here to interrogate you. When the time comes, even if you want to explain things, there won’t be anyone to listen to or believe in you.”

Nie HuaiSang replied desperately, as if he had given up, “… It isn’t a Man-Eating Castle at all. It’s… It’s just my sect’s ancestral burial ground!”

Why does Nie sect has such dangerous burial ground " someone  asked

Lan Xichen looks at Nie Mingjie to get answer but only finds him pale in worry. Seems like it's a secret of Nie sect that no one should know

Wei WuXian questioned, “Ancestral burial ground? Whose ancestral burial ground buries sabers instead of corpses?”

Nie HuaiSang responded with a sullen face, “HanGuang-Jun, before I explain things, can you promise me something? Seeing that our two sects have known each other for long and that our older brothers have sworn, no matter what I say after this, you… and the one beside you, must not tell anyone. If the secret is exposed in the future, I’d greatly appreciate it if the two of you can say a few good things as witnesses. You’ve always been true to your words. If you promise, I’ll believe you.”

Lan WangJi, “As you wish

''Seems like you're promise has no use. Now everyone knows '' Nie Mingjie commented helplessly.

Nie HuaiSang clenched his teeth and answered obediently, “… It has.”

Wei WuXian, “Wow.”

Nie HuaiSang immediately added, “But it was only once! And the one at fault wasn’t our sect, and it was dozens of years ago! The rumors of the Man-Eating Castle on the Xinglu Ridge also started since then. I… I only fanned the flames and magnified the rumors.”
