Wen Ning called over a few dozens of disciples and protected them in person until they arrived at a large, beautiful residence. He snuck inside from the back door and led Wei WuXian to a smaller building.

However, just after Wen Ning turned around and closed the door, before he could even stop and take a break, Wei WuXian grabbed his neck again and questioned in a hushed voice, “Where is this place?!”

"It is somewhere safe, I guess." said Nie Huaisang.

"I don't have a good feeling about it." said Jiang Cheng.

"When did you ever said that you have a good feeling about something?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"He never does." said Wei Wuxian.

Even though he had been saved by Wen Ning, he couldn’t let down all of the guard he held against the Wen Sect’s people just like that. He had always be alert. Back then, following Wen Ning through the large residence, they had passed by many rooms. Most of the people inside spoke with Qishan accents. He caught all of the fragments of conversations that had passed through the window slits and heard the words ‘supervision office’!

Wen Ning quickly waved his hands, “No… I…”

Wei WuXian, “What do you mean no? This isn’t the supervision office set in Yiling? Which unfortunate sect’s region did you take this time? Just what do you want to do by bringing us here?”

"What?!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed.

"You brought us to the place of the enemies?" he added.

"And it's another supervision office. Just how many sects did the Wens destroyed in the future?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"More than what you have imagine." said Jingyi.

Wen Ning tried hard to protest, “Young Master Wei, l-listen to me. This is a supervision office. But… But I really don’t have any intention of harming you. If I wanted to, last night after I entered Lotus Pier, I could’ve gone back on my word right away. I-I wouldn’t have had to lead you here.”

Wei WuXian had always been maintaining high alert. He hadn’t relaxed at all and was ready to explode any moment. His head was dizzy. Hearing this, he still didn’t believe him fully. Wen Ning continued, “This really is a supervision office. If there’s anywhere that the Wen Sect’s people won’t search, it’d be here. You two can stay here. But, you mustn’t let anyone find you…”

After a pause, Wei WuXian finally forced himself to let go. In a low voice, he said to him ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’ before laying Jiang Cheng’s body flat onto the wooden bed inside the room.

"Can we really trust him?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"I think we can." said Wei Wuxian.

"For now." he added.

"Don't ever doubt. My brother won't put the both of you in danger." said Wen Qing.

"We're not sure about that." said Jiang Cheng.

However, suddenly, the doors of the house suddenly opened. The voice of a woman called, “I was just searching for you! Explain to me properly…”

Just as he said not to let anyone find them, they were discovered at once!

"What the hell?!" cursed Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian together.

"You said no one will find out." said Wei Wuxian.

"Scared?" asked Wen Qing.

"Why would I? It's just that, he broke his words." said Wei Wuxian.
