Hearing the voice, all of the blood from Wei WuXian’s body traveled to his head and drained away a moment later. The good thing was that his face was already a pile of white. A shade whiter wouldn’t make too much of a difference.

"Why does it seems that you're scared of me?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"I don't know." said Wei Wuxian.

A violet-clothed youth approached in confident steps, his jianxiu robe flowing smoothly and his hand pressing on the hilt of his sword. A silver bell hung by his waist, although it made no sound as he walked.

The young man had thin brows and almond eyes. His features were handsome in a sharp way, and his eyes held a composed vigor, with a slight intention of attack, appearing to be two bolts of lightning as he stared. He stood ten steps away from Wei WuXian, his expression resembling a honed arrow on the bow, ready to be released at any moment. Even his posture emitted an air of arrogance and overconfidence.

"Wei Wuxian!" shouted Jiang Cheng but his brother only laughed at him.

"He looks handsome though." said Nie Huaisang.

"Of course my a-niang is beautiful." said Jingyi.

Lan Xichen was admiring his future husband.

He frowned, “Jin Ling, why did you linger for so long? Do you really need me to come and pick you up? Look at what a terrible situation you’re in right now, and get up!”

"And here comes Jiang Cheng's aggressive love." said Wei Wuxian.

The juniors just chuckled.

After the initial numbing of his head, Wei WuXian quickly realized what was going on. He curled a finger inside his sleeve and made the piece of paper retreat. Jin Ling felt his back lighten and immediately rolled up, grabbing his sword in the process. He shifted near Jiang Cheng and pointed at Wei WuXian accusingly, “I’m gonna break your legs!”

"He took after you, Jiang Cheng." said Wei Wuxian.

"And that is a-niang's famous line." Jingyi said, agreeing to his uncle.

"You shouldn't talk to elders like that, a-ling." said Jiang Yanli to his who only nodded his head.

With the pair of uncle and nephew standing beside each other, it was clear that they shared a close resemblance, probably able to pass for brothers. Jiang Cheng moved his finger, and the paper doll swiftly flew out of Wei WuXian’s hand and into his own. After taking one look at it, hostility came over his face. He pressured his fingers, and the paper was ignited, burning to dust with the screams of dark spirits.

Jiang Cheng spoke grimly, “Break his legs? Haven’t I told you? If you see this sort of evil and crooked practice, kill the cultivator and feed him to your dogs!”

Wei Wuxian shivered hearing the word.

"Why am I like that?" asked Jiang Cheng to his son.

"The screen will show it a-niang." his son only replied.

"Jiang Cheng it's not that evil." said Wei Wuxian.

"Don't worry I won't do that." said Jiang Cheng knowing that his brother has a trauma about dogs.

Wei WuXian couldn’t even attempt to grab his donkey, backing away at rapid speed. He thought that, after so many years, no matter how much hatred Jiang Cheng had held for him, it would have disappeared long ago. He didn’t expect that not only did it not disappear, it became richer, as if it was a jar of aged alcohol. At the present time, his hatred had grown to affect even people who cultivated like him!
