He had young, likeable features, almost handsome. However, the canine teeth that appeared when he smiled were cute to a point of childish, stealthily concealing the untamed cruelty within his eyes.

They put Xue on the front where they can observe and watch him properly for him not to escape.

But, Xue Yang only looked at them with a smile that resemble a devil.

Xue Yang tossed the bandages to the side, “Uh-oh. You found out.”

"You can't fool me." said Wei Wuxian with a smirk.

"Senior, I am nothing but an innocent man." said Xue Yang with smile.

"Now, I saw another version of Wei Wuxian." said Jiang Cheng with a glare.

Wei WuXian, “Purposely pretending that the pain is unbearable so that our consciences won’t allow us to take off your bandages and see; purposely showing us some of Shuanghua; purposely blurting out that you’re a roaming cultivator by accident. You knew of not only how to make yourself appear injured and defenseless, but moreover how to gain the sympathy of others. You truly brought out a genuine, virtuous Xiao XingChen. If not for how you were aware of more things than you should, I really would’ve believed that you were him.”

"What is your purpose?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"I don't know." answered Xue Yang.

"He's going to be another pain in my head." said Jiang Cheng.

Xue Yang just gave him a look.

And, during Inquiry, the answer that Song Lan gave for the second question was “Xiao XingChen”, while the answer for the third one was “the one behind you”.

If “the one behind you” was also Xiao XingChen, Song Lan wouldn’t have needed to express it in another way.

Unless, Xiao XingChen and “the one behind you” wasn’t the same person at all. Song Lan wanted to warn them of how dangerous the person behind them was, but if he simply answered Xue Yang, it was possible that they didn’t know who he was. He could only answer as such.

"What a great idea." praised Nie Huaisang while Song Lan just smiled at him.

"Are you going to punish me?" asked Xue Yang in childish tone.

"Lets watch first before we come into conclusion." said Qingheng-jun.

Song Lan was glaring at Xue Yang while the latter was inly smiling at everyone.

"One smiling person (Lan Xichen) is enough, you don't need to smile all the time. That will tire your lips and facial muscles." said Jiang Cheng.

"Smiling is a tiresome job." he added.

Xue Yang grinned, “Well, it’s true that his reputation is better than mine. Of course I pretended to be him. It’s easier to gain the trust of others this way.”

Wei WuXian, “That was some excellent acting right there.”

Xue Yang, “Now you’re just flattering me. I have a very famous friend. His acting is what I’d call excellent. I still have a long way to go. Anyways, enough with the chit-chat. Senior Wei, you really have to do me the favor.”

"Who is that friend of yours?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"How should I know? I know no one since arrived here." Xue Yang answered.

Wei WuXian, “You’re the one who made the long nails that controlled Song Lan and Wen Ning, aren’t you? You can even restore half of the Stygian Tiger Seal, so why would you need my help to restore a soul?”
