"They... they trapped you there"

A while later, Jin ZiXuan's cursing broke the dead silence, "That hell of a couple can really do such things, can't they?"

One of the boys murmured, "It's alright even if we can't get out... My father and mother will come find me. If they hear of this, they'll definitely search for me here."

A few of the people agreed. Immediately after, somebody replied in a quivering voice, "They must think that we're still undergoing indoctrination at Qishan. How could they possibly search for us... Besides, after the Wen Sect's people ran away, they definitely won't tell the truth. They'll definitely make up some excuse... And we can only stay down here..."

They couldn't fathom how tormenting the feeling would be. One moment you are going on a night hunt and then the next moment you are trapped with a beast waiting to taste your blood.

"Were you scared? ", Jin Lightly tugged on his uncle's sleeve. If it was in the past, Jiang Cheng would choose death rather than confessing about his real emotions. But now looking at the anxiety oozing out of his nephew's eyes, he nodded. "I was", he said, "we were all. But that doesn't mean we accepted our fate"

"We can only wait down here in the cave... without any food... along with a beast..."

As Jiang Cheng slowly walked over, propping Wei WuXian up, they happened to hear the 'without any food' part of the conversation. Wei WuXian, "Jiang Cheng, there's a piece of cooked meat here. You want to eat it?"

Jiang Cheng, "Get lost! You really haven't learned your lesson, have you? Just what situation do you think we're in? You don't know how much I want to sew your lips together."

"Don't look at me", the sound of his laughter echoed in the cave before reaching their ears.

"Do you really have to say something in every possible situation? ", Lan SiZhui Asked clearly not enjoying the scene. "I can relate to sect leader Jiang.. Not only did you hurt yourself, but now you are trying to act as nothing happened"

Lan WangJi was very proud of his trying to school his other father. The result may not be achieved but he was happy that now there are more people who care for Wuxian and keep him safe.

"Then what did you expect me to do? ", Wei Wuxian retorted. "Cry for help?? "

"Shut up", Jingyi said this time. "You could have just shut up"

"You don't have to act as if you are some super human, uncle Wei", Jin Ling said in an unusually soft tone. "Making joke to ease your pain won't be happily accepted by others who love and care for you"

Ohh now even the juniors started to lecture him. "Lan Zhan, don't you see this", he pouted. Lan WangJi didn't bat an eye to him but steadily nodded at the juniors which obviously translated as an open support.

"They are alike in some way", Lan QiRen whispered to his older nephew. This served as an amusement and Lan Xichen let out a confused noise. "Both are really good at hiding their pain. The only difference is WangJi completely hides it but Wuxian covers everything with a smile"

Lan WangJi's light-colored eyes landed on them. Immediately after, they landed on MianMian, who followed behind them, at a loss as to what to do. Tears stained her face as she continued to sob, hands clenching her robe as she said 'I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry' over and over again. Wei WuXian plugged his ears, "Hey, stop crying, alright? I'm the one who was burned, not you. Don't tell me that you want me to cheer you up? How about you cheer me up? Okay, enough, Jiang Cheng, stop carrying me. It's not like my leg is broken."
