The Truth [MDZS reaction]

XVI

Wei WuXian watched one of the Wen Sect's disciples pant as he set an arrow onto his bow. Struggling to draw the bow, he just couldn't pull it all the way back.

"Oh, we're back here.." a Jiang discples commented nonchantly and many agree. After seeing snippets of the future theu no longer cared about the so-called truths of the past, what they really wanted was to see more of the future. What wpuld happen, how could they prevent it?

Finally unable to tolerate it, Wei WuXian grabbed the bow and kicked the disciple to the side. Three arrows were left in the quiver. He set them onto the bow all at once, drew the string to the fullest, and aimed. The string of the bow squeaked by his ear. Just as he was about to let go, a cry suddenly came from behind him.

"Now what!" A Jiang disciples exclaimed growing anxious with every passing scene.

The cry was full of fear. Turning around, Wei WuXian saw Wang LingJiao give orders to three servants. Two of them brutishly held MianMian in place, clenching her face, while the other raised the branding iron in his hand and thrusted it toward her face!

Gasped of fear filled the hall, "this bitch is still trying to get that poor girl!?" A random Nie disciple yelled an dmany silently agreed with him, too anxious to even bother speaking.

The tip of the iron was so heated that it sizzled and shone with red light. Wei WuXian was some distance away from them. Seeing what was happening, he immediately shifted the direction of the arrows and let go of the string.

"What is he-"

The three arrows shot out at once and hit each of the three people. Without making a noise, they fell backward onto the ground. Yet, before the bowstring even ceased to vibrate, Wang LingJiao suddenly grabbed the iron that had fallen as well. Gripping MianMian's hair, she again shoved it toward her face!

"This stupid bitch" A Jin cursed.

Xue Yang had his eyes slightly open with surprise, "that was great aim" he mumbled and the disicple next to him gave him an odd look which the boy promptly ignored.

Even though Wang LingJiao's level of cultivation was extremely low, her move was both swift and cruel. If she really did it, even if MianMian could keep her eye, her face would be completely ruined. A woman like her, even under such dangerous circumstances where people were prepared to flee at a moment's notice, still kept her persistent thoughts of harming others!

All of the other disciples were setting up their arrows, handling the beast with all of their attention. Nobody was near these two. There were no more arrows on Wei WuXian and there wasn't enough time to grab someone else's. Under the urgency of these circumstances, he rushed over, one hand striking away the arm that Wang LingJiao grabbed MianMian's hair with and the other landing forcefully at her chest.

Having undertaken the strike, Wang LingJiao heaved up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"He really loves saving people huh.." Xue Yang commented again and this time many more people turned to him, "he saved her once by abducting Wen Chao and now he's going out of his way to save her again" the boy explained and many understood.

"Perhaps he liked her?" Jin Han suggested and now attention turned to him so he felt the need to explain as well. "He was trying to save evetyine else, but stopped to save her" the boy explained and again people seemed to suddenly understand his claim.

Wen Qing looked at Lan Wangji, but seeing no change in his expressiin she didn't bother explaining anything to him.

However, the tip of the iron had already pressed onto Wei WuXian's chest.
