Jiang Cheng murmured the words 'as long as you're back' a couple of times before hitting him again, "You really are...! You live on even after being captured by Wen-dogs!"

Wei WuXian gloated, "Of course. Who am I?

Jin Ling scoffed, "still showing off"

He was still unsure of how to start a conversation with this uncle of his. This new side of uncle Wei was making his legs quiver in fear. But it also felt weird to keep the silence since he was not at all used to being restrained around Wei WuXian. So naturally the scoff just left his mouth before he could stop himself.

"Of course I am", He grinned. Wei WuXian, who felt disgusted with himself at the early stage of this new role of demonic cultivator, very well understood how terrified the juniors were of what they are watching now. So he didn't expect them to start a conversation with him any time soon at all. But now, His mind was dancing in joy because of how natural it felt to hear Jin Ling's reaction.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but scold him, "What are you proud of?! You're alive and you didn't come back sooner!"

Wei WuXian, "I just got out, hey? I heard that both Shijie and you were fine, and you were rebuilding the Yunmeng Jiang Sect and forming an alliance, so I went to kill a few Wen-dogs first to lighten up your burden, and do some contributions. In these three months, you've been working hard".

Hearing the last part, Jiang Cheng remembered the past three months of rushing about and working day and night. He felt somewhat moved, but quickly put on a harsh face, "Put away your shabby sword! I've been waiting for you to take it away. I don't want to be carrying two swords all the time and get asked that many questions any longer!"

"A-Cheng", Wei WuXian called in a complaint, Jiang Cheng and Lan WangJi were the only people in the cave who acted normally even after watching how merciless Wei WuXian was. "It won't hurt you to show your concern and care a little bit"

"And to give you more reason to cling on? Never", Jiang Cheng smirked knowing very well his shiXiong was trying to make the atmosphere light.

Lan WangJi suddenly spoke up, "Wei Ying."

He had been standing quietly at the side. As he spoke, both Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng turned to him. It was as though Wei WuXian finally remembered to greet him. He nodded slightly, "HanGuang-Jun."

Lan WangJi, "Were you the one who has been killing the Wen Sect's disciples?"

Wei WuXian, "Of course."

"He is so cold", JingYi said, shocked to see the distance in Wei WuXian's eyes. This was another new side of him. Wei WuXian being rude to Lan WangJi?

"It's like A-die and Xian ge switched their characters", SiZhui said, looking back and forth at the onscreen and offscreen couple. "A-Die ignored him then, now he is ignoring A-Die"

"Uncle Wei is using his title instead of the usual Lan Zhan", Jin Ling noticed, "that is going to hit his feelings hard"

"hidden feelings", JingYi reminded his friend

Jiang Cheng, "I knew it was you. Why did you kill them one at a time? It'd be so much of a hassle."

Wei WuXian, "To play around, play with them until they die. Straight up killing all of them at once would be too easy on them. Much better killing them in front of one another one by one, one slice after another. Of course, with Wen Chao, I hadn't tortured him enough yet. Wen ZhuLiu, however, he'd received the guidance of Wen RuoHan and joined the Wen Sect with his surname changed, protecting Wen RuoHan's precious son under his orders." He laughed coldly, "He wanted to protect him, but I wanted to make him see how in his hands, Wen Chao would become more and more distorted, unlike a man but also unlike a monster."
