His left hand locked both of the person's hands while his right closed around their neck. Lowering his voice, he threatened with the most ruthless tone that he could conjure, "Don't make any noise! Or else I can break your neck at once!"

Held down firmly by him, the person hurried, "Y-Young Master Wei, it's m-me!"

"What......"

".... That is"

"Isn't that ?"

It was the voice of a boy. Hearing this, Wei WuXian's first reaction was, Maybe it's one of the people I know, wearing the Wen Sect's robes to spy amongst them?

But the voice was completely unfamiliar. He rejected the thought at once and his grip tightened, "Don't play any tricks!"

The boy, "I... I don't play any tricks. Young Master Wei, y-you can look at my face."

"Aahhhh it's too bad you can't guess the person", WuXian said cheekily. "Especially you kids, how can you not recognize his voice, huh?". He asked and now the kids were in confusion. The person is a wen and all the wens are dead long ago. How is it possible for them to identify one among them from their voice?

"We don't even know any Wens", JingYi replied and Jin Ling and sizhui nodded their heads. "They were all dead when we were kids, didn't they?"

WuXian giggled, glancing at his general, "Well technically they did"

Wen Ning was standing behind Wei WuXian, in a corner, making himself almost invisible. But now he understood what was going to happen. He couldn't help but feel a little giddy inside. He was going to see his Jie. How long had it been since he last saw her, heard her voice.

Wei WuXian, Look at his face? Maybe he's hidden something inside his mouth and he's prepared to spit it out?

Keeping his guard up, he turned the person's face around. The boy's features were delicate. A youthful handsomeness surrounded him. This was the young master of the QishanWen Sect whom they had seen when peeking yesterday.

Wei WuXian was indifferent, I don't know him.

"Uncle Wen", SiZhui exclaimed. "It's uncle Wen"

"Ohhh he is also a wen", can't blame the kids. Apart from SiZhui's rare 'Uncle Wen', Wen Ning was the ghost general or general uncle for them.

"Uncle, you helped them, didn't you?", Lan SiZhui excitedly asked, forcing Wen Ning to raise his head and look at him.

"I... I.. tried"

He turned the boy's face back around and continued to hold his neck, ordering in a low voice, "Who are you?!"

The boy seemed a bit disappointed, "I... I'm Wen Ning."

Wei WuXian frowned, "Who is Wen Ning?"

"Uncle Wen", SiZhui called in a bit of aggression in his voice. "What were you doing there? With them?"

"Aahhhh.... A-Yuan, stop interrogating him", Wei WuXian interrupted, saving him from further questioning from the kids. "He was a part of the sect. Of Course he can't disobey the orders"

In silence, though, he thought, Who cares who he is? No matter what, he's someone with a rank. With him in my hands, maybe I could do an exchange!

Wen Ning spoke slowly, "I... A few years ago, during the Discussion Conference at Qishan, I... I... was shooting arrows..."

Hearing how slow he was, impatience rushed up to Wei WuXian. He fumed, "You what?! Are you a stutterer?!"
