Burial Mound was less than three miles away from the town before them. Although they didn’t know what was waiting for them there, Wei WuXian had a hunch that it wasn’t anything good.

"Of course it will never be good." said Jin Zixuan.

"That's because the Yiling Patriarch will meet his second demise there." said Jin Zixun.

"You want it to be yours? You seemed to be so jealous." said Wei Wuxian.

"Of you? Why would I be jealous of you? I'm more better." said Jin Zixun.

"Better to be dead." said Jiang Cheng.

However, Lan WangJi was right beside him. His strides were steady and his eyes were calm. Wei WuXian didn’t have any sense of emergency to begin with. Looking at such a person, he couldn’t feel nervous no matter what. Walking through the town of Yiling, it was the accent of his home all around him. Refreshed by the familiarity, in spite of how he wasn’t going to buy anything, he couldn’t help but chat with the vendors by the streets in the the local accent.

After he felt satisfied with how much he had spoken, he finally turned around, “HanGuang-Jun, you remember this town, don’t you?”

Lan WangJi nodded lightly, “I do.”

Wei WuXian grinned, “I knew that your memory is better than mine. In this town, we’ve met once before. You happened to be night-hunting in Yiling and I said that I needed to treat you a meal. You remember this too?”

Lan WangJi, “I do.”

Wei WuXian, “But it’s quite a shame. You ended up paying in the end anyway, haha!”

"When was that?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"When you've become the Yiling Patriarch." answered Sizhui.

"Oh." said Wei Wuxian.

"Is he there to visit me?" he asked.

"Besides, why am I in Yiling not Yunmeng?" he added.

"Yes, a-die is there to visit you." answered Sizhui.

"Didn't Wei Wuxian said that the Lan Wangji was there to night hunt?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Because that's what Lan-shushu said to him, a-niang." said Jingyi.

"Little radish, you still didn't answer my question why I was living in Yiling not in Yunmeng." said Wei Wuxian.

"I guess the screen will show it, Wei-daijiu. It's better if you find it out yourself." said Jin Ling.

He sat on the donkey with his legs criss-crossed. He swayed as he pretended to be unconcerned, “Speaking of it, HanGuang-Jun, do you plan on ever retiring?”

Lan WangJi paused shortly, as though he was thinking for a moment. Wei WuXian struck the iron while it was still hot, “Have you thought of what to do after you retire?”

Lan WangJi gazed at him, “Not yet.”

Wei WuXian thought to himself, It’s perfect if you haven’t thought of anything yet! I’ll think for you.

"Like you're so sure that you'll live together." laughed Nie Huaisang.

"Because we will really live together." said Wei Wuxian.

"You don't even know his feelings yet." said Jin Zixuan.

"Besides, will Lan Wangji really retire from the cultivation world?" asked Jiang Cheng.
