After he left, Nie MingJue switched to another deputy. Wei WuXian, however, felt that the new one was always a few beats slower. Meng Yao was an unusually clever talent. He could understand what wasn’t said, and perform to the best with the simplest orders. He was efficient and never slacked. Anyone used to him wouldn’t be able to refrain from comparing him with others.
"I agree that he's quite a clever one." said Wen Rouhan.
"Don't forget that he's the one who killed you." said Wen Xu.
Some time later, the LanlingJin Sect in Langya was on the verge of collapse, having already been barely managing. Lan XiChen just happened to be assisting another area. Jin GuangShan asked for help from Hejian, and Nie MingJue arrived shortly afterward.
"Jokes on the Jins. They can't even defend the place on their own." said a random cultivator.
The Jins turned to at glare at him.
As the battle finished, Jin GuangShan came to express his thanks, still in a terrible state. Nie MingJue talked with him in a curt manner, then quickly began, “Sect Leader Jin, what’s Meng Yao doing nowadays?”
Hearing him mention the name, Jin GuangShan replied, “Meng Yao? Uh… Sect Leader Nie, I don’t mean any offense, but who is he again?”
"What?" Jin Zixuan asked in disbelief.
"You're unbelievable." he added.
"You should've expected that since then." said Jiang Cheng.
"No wonder he killed you." mumbled the juniors.
Nie MingJue’s brows immediately furrowed. Back then, the story that Meng Yao was kicked down Koi Tower passed around for quite a long time. Even others had known of such a farce, so there was no way that the person involved couldn’t remember the name. Only someone with the thickest of faces would be able to play dumb in such a situation. It was just that, however, Jin GuangShan just so happened to be such a person.
Nie MingJue spoke coldly, “Meng Yao is my past deputy. I wrote a letter for him to bring.”
Jin GuangShan continued to pretend as though he didn’t know a thing, “Really? But here I’ve never seen such a letter or such a person. Oh well. If I had known that Sect Leader Nie sent over his deputy I would definitely receive him well. But did any accidents happen along the journey?”
"You're impossible." said Madam Jin.
"No wonder he end up that way." she added.
"They are so unlucky to have you as a father." said MianMian.
"Such actions needs to have a punishment." said Qingheng-jun.
"I am not under the Lan Secr so why would you decide for my punishment?" asked Jin Guangshan in anger.
"No, it's the punishment of the whole cultivation world as you brought a lot of problems and suffering to many innocent woman out there." said Qingheng-jun.
"I refuse to accept that." said Jin Guangshan.
"You have no choice." said Nie Mingjue.
He simply equivocated, saying that he couldn’t remember if he had heard of the name or not. Nie MingJue’s face grew colder and colder. He felt that something must be wrong, so he left without the slightest hesitation. After asking the other cultivators, he still found nothing. Nie MingJue chose a few places and started to walk around.
"Maybe, Meng Yao didn't really go there." said Jin Zixuan.
"That's impossible." said Nie Huaisang.
"Then, where is he?" asked Wei Wuxian.
