Chapter 114 - 『To Return Home』

"You know Old Pei from across the street? I heard he died just yesterday and left his wife and daughter all alone."

Lan Xichen picked up his cup and smelled the aroma of tea coming from it.

"Not just him. Someone from downtown also died when out fishing so late at night. Jeez this people, can't they listen for rumors just this one time? This is becoming more dangerous than what happened in the Sunshot Campaign."

Wangji looks at him as if he wants to see his expression. Lan Xichen just stares at the ripples of water, not caring for the words the bystanders are speaking.

"Well...this is just my opinion but...won't it be better if Yunmeng Jiang handles this issue?"

The friend of the one who said that smack him on his head, "Are you crazy? Why are you mentioning that defected Sect? We're still a part of Gusu's territory!"

Do not associate yourself with evil.

Lan Xichen couldn't help but scoff, finding their every words ironic.

"Why? They are the ones who led the Sunshot Campaign to victory! It was thanks to them that we are still alive right now!"

The bystanders were left speechless at their friend's words.

One of them reasons then, "But still...the only reason they became defected was because they tried to hide Wei Wuxian away when the man is clearly out of his mind!"

Lan Xichen could see how Wangji's grip to his cup became tight, a little more force and he would break it into smithereens.

"Oh! Are you talking about the time where he killed former Sect Leader Jin Guangshan?"

"Exactly!"

The two brothers were so engrossed in their topic that they didn't noticed another cultivator sitting at the vacant seat of their table, wearing a mask to cover his face.

"Honestly, aren't you all glad that...uhm...he's...deceased? Seriously, that manwhore deserves it."

The cultivator choked in his tea while wheezing some laughs, the two Lan brothers finally noticing his presence.

"God! Ha...ha...manwhore...pfffttt...!"

The man wasn't yet content that he even managed to slap the table repeatedly to release some of his joy.

Both brothers looked at him as if he was a lunatic, before Lan Xichen looks at him with a feeling of familiarity.

"Youㅡ!"

Of course he's familiar. He was the one whom he fought when he met Jiangshuai-zun again.

"Ah, ssshhh." The man says before he continued listening to the bystanders' conversation.

"That joke of a Sect Leader raped every women he saw beautiful and had countless bastard children. Honestly? Wei Wuxian's actions are justified, especially if that manwhore tried to rape his brother!"

There were gasps that could be heard from them, Lan Xichen almost dropping his cup from shock.

"For real?! By brother, you mean Jiangshuai-zun?!"

"Holy shit!"

"Hey! No cursing in Gusu!"

"No, but for real?! God damn!"

"I mean, Jiangshuai-zun is a cut sleeve! But that does not justify that he can rape him?!"

"Indeed! Then it's understandable that Wei Wuxian did that!"

"Right?! He should have at least chop his pee pee off and cut it into tiny pieces for him to see! But it's also understandable if he didn't do that. Even I would be disgusted to touch something more dirty than shit like that."
