Wen Ning called over a few dozens of disciples and protected them in person until they arrived at a large, beautiful residence. He snuck inside from the back door and led Wei WuXian to a smaller building.
"Where did you take them?", HuiSang curiously asked Wen Ning
The person who just got questioned stuttered, "Mmm Y...YiLing", he said
However, just after Wen Ning turned around and closed the door, before he could even stop and take a break, Wei WuXian grabbed his neck again and questioned in a hushed voice, "Where is this place?!"
Even though he had been saved by Wen Ning, he couldn't let down all of the guard he held against the Wen Sect's people just like that. He had always been alert. Back then, following Wen Ning through the large residence, they had passed by many rooms. Most of the people inside spoke with Qishan accents. He caught all of the fragments of conversations that had passed through the window slits and heard the words 'supervision office'!
Wen Ning quickly waved his hands, "No... I..."
Wei WuXian, "What do you mean no? This isn't the supervision office set in Yiling? Which unfortunate sect's region did you take this time? Just what do you want to do by bringing us here?"
"Taking into consideration the disaster they went through, no wonder he is always on guard", Old Lan, at that moment thought about his own nephew, When the Wens attacked Cloud Recess, this is how Lan XiChen must have felt, Helpless and timid.
"Yes, during that time even your own home was not a safe place", He could hear Lan XiChen whispering.
"D.. did you have a place ? to go? ", Jiang Cheng, now, was looking into his eyes when he asked this, giving Lan XiChen no space to lie. "No", he heard himself saying. "If it was not for a certain help, I don't know.."
Wen Ning tried hard to protest, "Young Master Wei, l-listen to me. This is a supervision office. But... But I really don't have any intention of harming you. If I wanted to, last night after I entered Lotus Pier, I could've gone back on my word right away. I-I wouldn't have had to lead you here."
Wei WuXian had always been maintaining high alert. He hadn't relaxed at all and was ready to explode any moment. His head was dizzy. Hearing this, he still didn't believe him fully. Wen Ning continued, "This really is a supervision office. If there's anywhere that the Wen Sect's people won't search, it'd be here. You two can stay here. But, you mustn't let anyone find you..."
"So you guys still ended up inside the rival's premises", JingYi asked. "No offense to General Uncle, but wasn't that very risky ?"
"It is,. But in my opinion..", Nie HuiSang replied instead of Wen Ning, " sometimes the safest place to hide is also among your rivals. That would be the last place they search"
"But still it's the Wens", SiZhui was still worried
After a pause, Wei WuXian finally forced himself to let go. In a low voice, he said to him 'thank you' and 'sorry' before laying Jiang Cheng's body flat onto the wooden bed inside the room.
However, suddenly, the doors of the house suddenly opened. The voice of a woman called, "I was just searching for you! Explain to me properly..."
Just as he said not to let anyone find them, they were discovered at once!
"Jie", Wen Ning whispered but they heard it loud and clear
