Without any hesitation, Wei WuXian ordered, “Go!”
Lan JingYi, “Where to?”
Wei WuXian, “Follow the sounds of the bamboo pole.”
"Why would you tell them to follow it?" asked Jin Zixun.
"Because I tell them." answered Wei Wuxian.
The juniors snickered.
Jin Ling was somewhat surprised, “You want us to follow a ghost? Who knows where she’ll take us to!”
Wei WuXian, “That’s precisely what you’re going to do. The sound has been following you guys ever since you came, correct? You were trying to go into the city, but she was leading you toward the city gates, where you ran into us. She was chasing you out—she was trying to save you!”
"Yeah, he's right." said Zizhen.
"Oh wait." said Jingyi making everyone looked at him.
"Nie-jiujiu, are you forgetting something?" he asked.
"I don't." answered Nie Huaisang.
"You do. Did you forgot that you lose?" asked Jingyi.
"On what?" asked Nie Huaisang.
"The bet. You lose. You bet that the man who arrived earlier is a friend which turned to be an enemy." said Jingyi.
"Oh that." said Nie Huaisang while taking out his money pouch.
"Told you. Jiang Cheng passed down his skills in betting to his son." said Wei Wuxian making Nie Huaisang pout at him.
The strange, sporadic sounds of the bamboo pole were a technique that she used to scare people who entered the city. The Nether Brawler’s head that Wei WuXian stepped on was possibly also placed there by her to startle and alert them. Wei WuXian continued, “And, last night, she clearly wanted to tell us something really important, but couldn’t explain it. However, she disappeared as soon as Xue Yang came. She was most likely trying to avoid Xue Yang. Anyways, she definitely isn’t on the same side as him.”
"Of course not!" exclaimed Jingyi.
"They will never be." said Zizhen.
“Xue Yang?! Why is Xue Yang here as well? Wasn’t it Xiao XingChen and Song Lan?”
“Uhh, I’ll explain that later. Anyways, the one fighting with HanGuangJun inside isn’t Xiao XingChen, but Xue Yang, who pretended to be him.”
"He's kinda good for pretending as Xingchen." said Song Lan with a glare.
"Thank you." said Xue Yang in utter sarcasm.
The bamboo pole’s noises continued, as if the girl was waiting or urging them. If they followed her, they could fall into a trap; if they didn’t follow her, they’d be surrounded by corpses who release corpse-poisoning powder. It wouldn’t be much safer. The boys decisively chose to follow the knocking sounds along with Wei WuXian. Sure enough, as they moved, the sounds also moved. At times, they could see a small, vague shadow amid the thin fog in the distance, but sometimes there was nothing at all.
After running for a while, Lan JingYi spoke up, “So we are just going to run off like this?”
"What do you think?" asked Wei Wuxian.
"At least bid some goodbyes to my didi." said Lan Xichen.
"Oh! Lan Zhan will be going first." said Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji nodded his head.
