63. Burning Paper Money

Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi returned to the coffin home together. The doors were open. As they had expected, Song Lan was standing beside the coffin that Xiao XingChen lay in, looking inside with his head hanging low.

"No more bad things will happen, right?" aksed MianMian.

"For now, I guess." said Jiang Yanli.

"They can finally go home." said Jin Zixuan.

All of the disciples unsheathed their swords. They huddled on the side, staring cautiously at the fierce corpse that had just attacked them. Seeing that Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi returned, they looked as if their lives had been saved, yet they were too scared to make any noise, afraid of alarming or infuriating Song Lan.

"Cute little disciples." laughed Wei Wuxian.

"Yeah, they are." Jiang Yanli agreed.

Wei WuXian walked into the coffin home and introduced to Lan WangJi, “This is Song Lan, Daozhang Song ZiChen.”

Standing by the coffin, Song Lan raised his head and turned to them. Lifting up the hem of his robes, Lan WangJi stepped over the high threshold in an elegant manner, then nodded.

"Who would thought that such elegant man could be so shameless." said Jiang Cheng.

Lan Wangji only gave him a look while Wei Wuxian was laughing loudly.

"I can say, Lans are born shameless but because of their rules they cannot show unless if they are with their lovers." said Nie Huaisang.

Since Song Lan had regained his consciousness, his pupils returned as well. A pair of clear, black eyes stared back at them.

Amid the eyes that had originally been Xiao XingChen’s, a deep, indescribable sorrow brimmed.

Thus, there was no need to ask any questions. Wei WuXian knew already. During the period that Xue Yang made him into a fierce corpse and commanded him, he saw and remembered everything.

No matter how much more they inquired, how much more they talked, it’d only lay more emphasis on the pain and hopelessness.

"It must have been so painful for him." said Jiang Yanli.

"At least, I won't be experiencing that since this little delinquent decided to change." said Song Lan.

"And that's good. You get to change him, it shows that watching this can change your life and fix your mistakes." said Sizhui with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Wei WuXian took out two Spirit-trapping Pouches of the same small size. He handed them to Song Lan, “Daozhang Xiao XingChen and Maiden A-Qing.”

Even though A-Qing was extremely scared of Xue Yang, a while ago, she still followed closely behind the one who killed her, refusing to let him dodge or escape until, finally, he was pierced through the heart by Bichen and got what he deserved. From a slap of the talisman, she had almost disappeared. Wei WuXian only brought back a few fragments by searching and piecing as hard as he could. However, now, it was also rather scattered, the same as Xiao XingChen.

"Thank you for doing that." said Xiao Xingchen.

"It's nothing, I know that she kind of important to you in the future." said Wei Wuxian with a smile.

"Like a little sister." said Xiao Xingchen with a smile.

Of the two lumps of weak souls, each was curled up in its Spirit-trapping Pouch. It was as if just a slight bump would cause them to dissipate within the pouch. With shaking hands, Song Lan took them over and rested them on top of his palm. He didn’t even dare to carry them by the strings, afraid that they’d sway too much.
