He didn't expect the journey to be this unlucky. Originally, he came to help Jin Ling out. Jin Ling would be turning fifteen this year, the age of which he should already be making his debut and starting to compete with the juniors of other clans.

Jiang Cheng considered the decision carefully before choosing Dafan Mountain as the location of the hunt. He also set up nets everywhere and threatened the cultivators of other clans, showing them the consequences so that they would retreat, in order to let Jin Ling take the top prize without anyone fighting against him.

Looking at Jiang WanYin on screen, All Wei WuXian saw was his Shidi, Not the sect leader of Yunmeng Jiang. All these years did nothing to him. He was always competitive, comparing himself with others he would train till he bleed. But reframing his thoughts with the other's stand point, Wei WuXian also understood he didn't have it easy. Before Leading the sect at a very early age, even his own parents were measuring him with Wei Wuxian's achievements. When sect leader Jiang didn't acknowledge his accomplishments Madam Yu expected more. He was not enough, even for his own parents he was never enough.

Now he is doing the same with Jin Ling. . If not anyone, Wuxian understood the reason Jiang Cheng was being strict on Jin Ling, he wanted to prove others that the kid he raised without parents was not less than any other kids. Even when it comes to Jin Ling, Jiang Cheng wanted to prove himself. His shidi was still comparing himself with others.

Although four hundred deity-binding nets were a whopping price, it wasn't too much for the Yunmeng Jiang Sect. Nonetheless, losing the nets was a small matter, but losing face was not. With Lan WangJi's actions, Jiang Cheng felt a whirlpool of anger at the bottom of his heart, rising higher by every second. He narrowed his eyes, his left hand casually stroking the ring on his right hand's index finger.

This was a dangerous sign.

Everyone knew that the ring was a menacing, strong magical weapon. Whenever Clan Leader Jiang started touching it, it meant that he had the intent to kill.

However, after stroking it for a while, Jiang Cheng compelled himself to restrain his hostility.

Although he was displeased, as the leader of a sect, he needed to take more things into consideration, which meant that he couldn't be as impulsive as Jin Ling. After the fall of the Qinghe Nie Sect, among the Three Great Sects, the Lanling Jin Sect and the Gusu Lan Sect were quite close due to the personal relationship between the two leaders. By leading the Yunmeng Jiang Sect alone, he was already in an isolated situation among the three. Han Guang-Jun, or Lan WangJi, was quite a prestigious cultivator, while his elder brother ZeWu-Jun, or Lan XiChen, was the leader of the Gusu Lan Sect. The two brothers had always been on good terms with each other. It was best to not openly dispute with Lan WangJi.

Jiang Cheng felt A soft gaze on him. He didn't dare to look at the person. Yunmeng Jiang was always on good terms with Gusu Lan and even the former sect leaders maintained a harmony between the sects. When Lan XiChen took the governance of Gusu Lan in his own hands, Jiang WanYin was still the young master of Yunmeng but the boy had potential, putting aside his very bad temper, he had every quality needed in a leader. And he proved it by rebuilding a sect from the very start.

Also, Jiang Cheng's sword, "Sandu," had never made actual contact with Lan WangJi's sword, "Bichen," and it was not yet decided whose hands the deer would die on. Although he owned the powerful ring, "Zidian," a family heirloom of his, Lan WangJi's zither, "Wangji", was also known for its abilities. The thing that Jiang Cheng hated the most was to be disadvantageous during a fight. Without complete confidence in his success, he would not consider fighting with Lan WangJi.
