"INDEED"

In a rapid motion, their heads turned abruptly and there she stood.

"WELL SAID LAN QIREN. SECT LEADER JIANG IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD SOLVE THIS MYSTERY NOW"

Not just the voice but the whole person. Just like Wen Ning described to Wei WuXian, she stood there right in front of them.

The lady was covered in a white dress promiscuously blended with golden thread. Her bright skin was glowing even in the darkness of the cave. The eyes, sharp enough to pierce through rock, were as lush and green as the thick forest. Lips adored with a smile making her face more divine than it already is. Long silver hair flowing through her passing the shoulders covering her hips. There was no sumptuous ornament gracing her lean and slender body apart from a hairpin.

Even for Wei WuXian, who had an abundant experience of flirting in his full teenage years, this was the first time meeting someone as gorgeous as her. He glanced at Wen Ning who was already looking back and with a subtle nod he confirmed the person.

"She is Glorious", the words left Lan JingYi's mouth before he could stop himself. Which also earned him a shove from his friend. Lan SiZhui placed a finger on his lips to shushh him.

"But she is", Jin Ling also whispered.

SiZhui sighed, truly he didn't know what to do with this extraordinary unity of his friends in these kinds of unnecessary situations.

"She is also the person who trapped us here", he reminded them both who now seemed to be enchanted by the beauty of this person who is yet to be confirmed to be an ally.

Nie HuiSang who was standing with them obviously heard this wooing and couldn't help butchew back the smile. All of them were in grave danger and these boys were undoubtedly appreciating the beauty. HuiSang didn't know whether to be jealous of their young minds or to smack some sense into their dumb brains for deviating from the main topic. But at this moment what exactly was important is to find the identity of this person.

"Wen Ning", Jiang Cheng heard Wei WuXian calling for his general.

Wen Ning looked at him and nodded, without waiting for the other to speak. "This...... this i... is the same person who told me you were here"

"Who are you? ", Lan QiRen asked, trying his best to not jump into a conclusion about this lady's identity although he had a very strong guess by now.

What they received in return was a laugh. A sinister laughter which shook the entirety of the demon-quelling cave. As the lady walked towards them, Somewhere in the back side of the cave they could hear objects rolling down and clattering and crushing which they assumed to be rocks and pebbles collected so far.

"OHH LAN QIREN", she took her gaze off Jiang Cheng and looked directly into Lan QiRen's boring eyes . The ghost of the laughter earlier was still dancing on her lips. "I expected you to be more smarter than this"

More he listened to her Lan QiRen's face paled.

"Don't you think both of us are too old to play this game? ",came from her, who didn't even look more than thirty.

Lan XiChen was spending all this time searching for this face in his memories, though he knew it would be futile. "Then why don't you reveal who you are?"

The lighter died down finally and her eyes went back to Jiang Cheng. "As I said earlier, my identity is not important"

"What more significant is to find a way to bring back Jiang YanLi or should I say send her back forever?", her eyes shone bright and with a brutal smirk she looked more infernal.
