Before you read this part, please read the last part of the previous chapter(chap 96). I have added some more dialogues at the end and this chapter continues from there. So it is better to read those parts (the last few exchanges in chap 96) before you start this chapter.

The thunder had died and the pouring rain had become a sprinkle. The darkest part of the night had already passed. Light could be seen.

Immediately, hundreds of people surrounded the Guanyin Temple, each looking alarmed with swords unsheathed as though they were ready for a big fight. However, after those who rushed into the temple first saw the scene before their eyes, they all hesitated in surprise. Those lying on the ground were all dead; those who didn't die were half-lying, half-standing. In summary, corpses and general chaos were plastered all over the floor.

"You were very late ", Jin Ling complained. "You guys have no idea what happened there"

"Hey we rushed as soon as Fairy signaled us", Lan JingYi defended but his young mind was searching for his own face among the crowd.

Of the two who were at the foremost position, the left was the chief manager of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect, while the left was Lan QiRen. Lan QiRen still had on a face full of shock and doubt. Before he even opened his mouth to ask, the first thing he saw was Lan WangJi, so close to Wei WuXian that they were practically one person. Within the blink of an eye, he'd forgotten everything he wanted to ask. Rage surged onto his face. Brows knitted together, he huffed and puffed, sending his mustache flying into the air.

It was not just Wei WuXian who had to try very hard to stop laughing. The expressions on Lan QiRen they were watching now were extremely funny and awful.

Lan JingYi practically had to close his mouth with his hand or he had no doubt he wouldn't have a home to return to. While others looked down avoiding even glancing at Lan elder.

"Lan Zhan, Can I laugh? ", Wei WuXian whispered while leaning to Lan WangJi.

Lan WangJi peeked at his uncle and subtly smiled, "if you don't want to return to Cloud Recess"

While Lan QiRen raised his sword and shouted, "Wei..."

Before he even finished a few white-clothed figures rushed out from behind his back, all of them shouting,

"HanGuang-Jun!"

"Senior Wei!"

"Senior Patriarch!"

The last boy bumped into Lan QiRen so hard he almost tipped over. He fumed, "No running! No making clamor!"

"See, your rules make no sense in the times of an emergency", Jiang Cheng told Lan XiChen. "For a human, it is not always possible to abide by the rules. Sometimes your emotions take over your rationality"

"I am very sure Nobody was punished for that", smiling, watching the kids rushing to make sure Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian were okay, Lan XiChen said. That time his mind was not in a state to observe the surroundings, But now he can.

Apart from Lan WangJi, who turned to him and called, "Uncle", nobody paid him any attention.

Lan SiZhui grabbed Lan WangJi's sleeve with his left hand and Wei WuXian's arm with his right, beaming, "This is great! HanGuang-Jun, Senior Wei, what a relief that both of you are fine. With how anxious Fairy was, we thought you came into something truly difficult."
