"Jiang Wanyin."

Hearing his courtesy name, Jiang Cheng turned to look at Lan Wangji who called to him.

"What?"

He knew his tone came out a bit harsh, considering he was tired and how Lan Wangji looked at him in apathetic way.

"Wei Ying...I might know where he is."

There was something that snapped inside the younger.

Know? Bullshit. He had tried countless areas to see where that bastard martial brother of his is hiding. And now this guy from Gusu might know where is he hiding? Someone who only knew Wei Wuxian for three or five years?

No, Jiang Cheng's pride couldn't accept that. It was him, it was him who grew up together with his brothers, so he was the one who was supposed to know where Wei Wuxian is hiding.

Where else, if that long term belief of his crumbled by proving him wrong, Jiang Cheng might go crazy.

"Just...leave me alone for a while, Hanguang-jun."

Surprisingly, Lan Wangji did leave him alone after a few seconds.

Jiang Cheng sighs as he gripped the side of table in front of him, dipping his head making it lightly hit the wood below.

Now then, how did Lan Wangji have a hunch where he would know the place where Wei Wuxian is hiding?

Gusu? That will be impossible.

Qinghe? The bastard is evasive when he sees Nie Mingjue for reasons he don't know.

Much more in Lanling. He murdered the former Sect Leader, so he can't possible be there.

Dafan? Another impossible choice, considering he have eyes watching the Wens even though he knew that they are being led by a woman like Wen Qing.

Then, Yiling?

He had already searched every nook and cranny of Yiling because he knew that place is quite memorable for someone like Wei Wuxian.

Searched every area, except that particular mountain.

"Ah...fuck."

He really is an idiot, isn't he?

He raised his head abruptly and grabs a mapand places it in front of him. It is full with big red x's until he see an area that is blank.

Burial mounds.

That is the place where Lan Wangji is going.

He could feel something inside him break, his pride skyrocketing in an unapproachable manner.

No, don't even try to think about it.

Just as he could leave Lotus Pier, he could hear someone knocking on his door.

"Young Master Jiang, it's Wen Ning."

Weirdly enough, Jiang Cheng could feel himself calm down, making him confused for a while before opening the door and greeted Wen Ning.

"What is it?"

He sent him a smile, making Jiang Cheng relax and forget his earlier conundrum.

"Hanguang-jun asked me to accompany you once you've decided."

So he was outside for a while now?

Jiang Cheng audibly huffs before smirking, "Let's go then."

Riding their respective swords, Jiang Cheng and Wen Ning arrived in Burial Mounds in only a short time, considering that Jiang Cheng is flying in the fastest speed as possible.
