Wen Ning scanned the room. Sect leader Nie HuiSang is awfully quiet. The Lan seniors were conversing with each other and juniors. Jiang WanYin was still not taking part in the discussion. He could guess, They were still stuck with the morality of The man eating castle or should I say the Ancestor's hall of Nie Sect ? Taking this opportunity he moved towards Wei Wuxian.

"Wei Gonzi", he called hesitantly.

After he ended up in the cave, Wen Ning didn't communicate with them much. The normally shy man crawled back into the corner of the cave in the presence of senior cultivators. Now Hearing his voice suddenly, Wei Wuxian quickly turned around, "Wen Ning?", he was startled. "speak sometimes will you, I almost forgot you were with us here"

The general was not very vocal. Endless bullying he got from the stammering issue was deeply rooted in his life, resulting in the almost non-existent conversations initiated by him. So whenever Wen Ning started to talk, Wuxian paid his full attention towards the other. He looked at him curiously. There was something off on his already pale face. Which of course raised Wuxian's heartbeat at a rapid speed. "What is it, Wen Ning? Why do you look so troubled?"

"Wei Gonzi, Who was that person who talked to Sect leader Nie earlier?", he managed to ask without stuttering.

It took him a moment to recollect what Wen Ning might have been asking about. "You mean that voice, ordering around earlier?"

He nodded.

"We don't know . That person is behind this whole past playing game. They were here from the beginning, communicating with us only through the voice ", Wei Wuxian informed his general. Without further question Wen Ning nodded again.

If it was someone else, they could have written it off as pure curiosity, but this is Wen Ning. Wei WuXian knew him better than to not stop this conversation here. " What is it, Wen Ning?", he asked again. " Do you happen to recognize that voice? "

It seemed as if he is collecting the right words to put together, finally he said surprising enough to Wei Wuxian, "That lady also sounded the same"

In between grieving over the nightmares and reminiscing the dreams of the past, it completely slipped out of Wei Wuxian's mind to get the identity of this person. His eyes got wider and mouth parting a little, he let out a chuckle of amusement. "Wwow"

"You mean that lady who led you here? You are saying they are the same person?", he asked, trying to confirm they are on the same page.

"Yes ", Wen Ning said "I can't say about the appearance as this person is still hiding. But the voice is the same. "

"Okay... alright so we have something here now." Wei Wuxian tapped his nose contemplating the matter. He turned to take a look at the other presence beside them. All of them were engaged in talking to each other. More like discussing the latest revelation. He lowered his voice to avoid their attention. "Can you describe the details you remember? Have we seen that lady before?", he enquired.

Wen Ning took a moment before answering. He couldn't give a vague answer. "I don't think we have met her before. I remember that lady had sharp and exceptionally unique facial features, green eyes and long silver hair", he said.

"Green eyes and silver hair ? Is that a common feature to find? ", wei Wuxian doubted.

"No Wei Gonzi, that is why I said that is the first time I'm meeting her. Her talk and behavior was very elegant and graceful as if she is the madam of a prestigious family. "

"How old did she look?"

"Not very old.", he said. "Mid twenties to early thirties"

Wei Wuxian thought for a moment. After coming back, his memory was not good. Since he didn't remember many things he couldn't say whether he met this person earlier in his life or not. If she is a completely new person, then how did she acquire the details of things happening around him ? How is she capable of showing them their past just like a dream? Wei Wuxian knew he needed to find answers. There were many things that shouldn't be shown to others, Just like the secret of Nie's.
