98. Grief

Wen Chao laughed, “Well done, well done! At such a time, we should have a grand celebration. Tonight, why don’t we set up a banquet here? Make the best use of everything!”

"How dare you?!" exclaimed the siblings.

"You dare to celebrate huh." said Wei Wuxian.

"Just wait on how we will celebrate your death." said Jiang Cheng.

Wang LingJiao spoke in a tender voice, “Young Master Wen, congratulations for moving into Lotus Pier.”

Wen Chao, “What Lotus Pier? Change the name. Bring down any door carved with the nine-petaled lotus crest and replace them with those with the QishanWen Sect’s sun crest! JiaoJiao, come dance for me your best song!”

Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng couldn’t listen to this any longer. They flipped back down the wall. Stumbling, they staggered out of Lotus Pier. Even after they had run for a long while, the laughter of the crowd at the training field still couldn’t be wiped away. The coquettish voice of a woman sang happily above Lotus Pier. Like a blade doused in poison, it cut into their ears and their hearts again and again and again.

"We will also dance and sing the Yunmeng song with the both die." said Jiang Yanli.

"It is much more better than theirs anyway." she added.

"Lotus Pier is Lotus Pier, you can't change it's name." said Jiang Cheng.

"Watch how we'll do it." said Wen Chao.

"Don't forget that your woman was still fighting for her life. Do you me to take it now?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"You won't touch a strand of his hair!" exclaimed Wen Chao.

Jiang Cheng just smirked at him.

They had been running for over a mile before Jiang Cheng abruptly stopped.

Wei WuXian stopped as well. As Jiang Cheng turned around, Wei WuXian grabbed him, “Jiang Cheng, what are you doing?! Don’t go back there!”

"A-cheng, don't be reckless." said Jiang Yanli.

"Jiang Cheng, don't go back. You know it's dangerous." said Wei Wuxian.

"What can I do? I don't have any control on what he is going to do." said Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng shook his hand away, “Don’t go back there?! Are you serious? You’re telling me not to go back there? My parents’ bodies are still in Lotus Pier—could I leave just like this? Where could I go if I don’t go back?!”

Wei WuXian’s grip tightened, “What could you do if you go back now? They’ve killed even Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu. All that’s waiting for you is death!”

Jiang Cheng shouted, “Death it is, then! If you’re scared of death then get lost—don’t block my path!”

"What's wrong with him?" asked Jin Zixun.

"Have he become crazy?" he added.

"Can't you see he's in grief?" asked Nie Huaisang.

"He wanted his parents." he added.

"But we all know that it's impossible. They're gone and even taking back their remains is impossible." said Sizhui.

"Can't he understand that?" he asked.

Wei WuXian lunged for him, “Revenge is never too late. We must bring back the bodies but not now!”

Jiang Cheng dodged to the side before attacking, “When does not now mean? I’ve had enough of you—get lost right now!”
