"Haah.. That's how we became acquaintances. Because everyone was so afraid of talking about YiLing Lanzhou, But I was never"

"Initially", HuiSang turned around , steadying his breathing. The right hand in which the fan was holding continuously swayed. "Initially.. I was only planning to do some demonic ritual.. Like 'Soul Finding'. But he once mentioned a scroll he saw in the secret chamber and 'The Self-Sacrificing Ritual' was mentioned in it"

"Still I was unsure until one day, this same Jin GuangYao kicked him out of the sect. When I first met him, in Mo Manor he laughed off my suggestion but the second time..", HuiSang paused, as if he was going through that day again,

"he was tired, really really tired of living. He was unwilling to leave that house where his mother died but He was not motivated to live as well. There was nothing he could hold on"

"So you manipulated him? ", Wei WuXian asked again. Now his tone was not the same with sympathy but crowding with rampage and naivete.

"No.. I clearly told him. What was going to happen", HuiSang's body language was still screaming arrogance and proud of what he did.

It was the very first time in their life they were watching him, this confident. Nie HuiSang was never the one to come to the front. He was someone who always wished to live under the shadow of his brother. He was not the one to harm something. Or at least, that is what they thought...

Till now...

"I told him about the consequences", HuiSang's voice bounced in the cave. And it was unusually callous.

"I told him that if he does it, his body is going to be taken away by someone else, then he might not be able to be reborn. That he might stuck in the middle until the revenge is complete, there is even a chance for his soul to be crushed because nobody did this before and we don't have a constricted guideline"

"I TOLD HIM EVERYTHING BUT IT WAS THE RISK HE WAS WILLING TO TAKE"

Lan XiChen shook his head in spurn, "still you were manipulating him, A-Sang because you knew he would do it"

"I was hoping he would do it", HuiSang corrected him. "If he could actually bring back Yiling Lanzhou, then be it. I had nothing to lose and he .. he already lost everything. Even his sanity"

This was the same person who never accompanied them to night-hunts because killing was too much? Lan JingYi couldn't understand if it was all dreaming. But considering sect leader Nie's character, even this kind of dream was impossible. The frigid tone and the heathen eyes were enough to redraw the picture of Nie HuiSang in his mind.

"But to be frank, I never expected that trick to work. Nobody in the past sacrificed themselves in the name of revenge. So when WangJi Xiong came to meet me with Mo XuanYu by his side, I was not sure who was sitting in front of me. Mo XuanYu or Wei WuXian", he smiled, a genuine one this time.

"But you were too cute together and that confirmed my suspicion. There was no reason for HanGuang-Jun to hold Mo XuanYu like the way he did. Lan WangJi would never have even relatively a close relationship with someone who is not Wei WuXian. So when you came back, I was not only sure of your identity but I was also sure that WangJi Xiong also knew who you were. That made my intentions easier", this time the smile on his face was conveniently sweeter but for the people listening to him, there was nothing scarier than it.

"HanGuang-Jun and Yiling Lanzhou were always like fire and ice, people in two extremes. But as a team, there was no one stronger than you two. You could tackle every obstruction easily"
