MDZS Characters Watching the Future

16. Suspicion

He maintained his patience and waited for the results in Buddha’s Feet, but before he finished a single cup of tea, a disciple ran from the mountain hastily and told him about how powerful and cruel the thing in Dafan Mountain was. Hearing this, his heart jumped and he rushed up here again. He shouted, “A-Ling!”

"Look how worried you make your grumpy uncle is, a-ling." said Wei Wuxian.

"The f*ck Wei Wuxian shut up." shouted Jiang Cheng.

Jin Ling almost had his soul taken away a moment ago, but he was fine now, and stood on the ground properly, “Uncle!”

Seeing that Jin Ling was safe, Jiang Cheng finally calmed down. Quickly afterward, he scolded angrily, “Didn’t you bring signal firelights with you? Don’t you know to use them when you meet something like this? What are you pretending to be strong for? Scram over here!”

"Why did you become more grumpy in the future, ChengCheng?" asked Wei Wuxian with a tease.

"That looks pretty normal." said Nie Huaisang.

"I thought when you get married you will be less grumpy. I am mistaken then." said Wei Wuxian with a small pout but grinned afterwards seeing his brother's red face.

Jin Ling was also angered from not capturing the soul-consuming goddess, “Weren’t you the one who told me that I have to catch it? And, if I don’t catch it, I shouldn’t go see you?”

"How dare you talk back to me?!" said Jiang Cheng, glaring at his nephew.

"I'm sorry." Jin Ling apologizes.

"Clearly you didn't apologized that time." said Jiang Cheng.

"Hey! You're scaring our precious nephew." said Wei Wuxian.

"Brat." Jiang Cheng muttered.

"A-ling, always remember your elders no matter what the situation is." said Jiang Yanli.

Jin Ling nodded his head aggressively while giving his mother a bright smile.

Jiang Cheng seriously wanted to slap the rotten brat so hard that he went back inside his mother’s stomach. However, he really did say so himself, and he shouldn’t prove himself wrong. He could only turn to the cultivators who lay collapsed on the ground, speaking with satire, “What on Earth could it be, beating you up in such a dignified way?”

Wei Wuxian laughed loudly hearing his brother's thought.

"Nothing is funny." said Jiang Cheng, glaring at the man.

"Yeah, Jiang-xiong you look scary in the future." said Nie Huaisang.

"Like he won't have a second thoughts to kill you." said Wei Wuxian.

Among the cultivators who wore differently-coloured clothing, a bunch were the disguised disciples of the YunmengJiang Sect, ordered by Jiang Cheng to secretly assist Jin Ling, in case he couldn’t overcome the challenge. He was quite the responsible elder, going to such great lengths. One cultivator still hadn’t overcome the shock, “Sect, Sect Leader, it’s…It’s Wen Ning…”

Jiang Cheng thought that he had misheard, “What did you say?”

"Umm I don't thinks it is good." said a female cultivator.

"It's not like a-cheng will do something bad." said Jiang Yanli.

The person replied, “Wen Ning is back!”

In an instant, shock, disgust, anger, and disbelief all crossed Jiang Cheng’s face.

After a long while passed, he finally spoke bitterly, “The thing was ground to dust in front of everyone long ago, so how can it come back?”
