Untamed Feeling ( wangxian )

chapter forty seven 🫰

Cloud Recesses, a secluded guest chamber.

Inside one chamber the atmosphere was suffocating. The doors were barred, lamps dimmed, and several powerful figures sat in a circle: Sect Leader Chang, Sect Leader Yao, Jin Guangyao,Sect leader Ouyang, Jin Zixun, Su She, other low Sect Leaders and a handful of Jin and other disciples.

At the head sat Jin Guangshan, his face red with suppressed fury. His tongue, long severed by Lan Wangji’s ruthless sword strike, left him voiceless. In place of speech, he gripped a brush so hard the tip bent, scribbling violently across a sheet of paper.

Jin Zixun impatiently leaned over and read aloud the words, voice dripping with mockery:
“We cannot let them continue this bullshit. That book will ruin us all.”

Sect Leader Chang grunted. “Sect leader Jin is right. Every word revealed makes us weaker. If the rest of the future is seen, we’ll be stripped bare.” He was so scared about his future and the scene of his death was not vanishing from his mind.

Jin guangyao gave a smile to him " Isn't it good to know the future before hand ? "He wanted to test the reaction of the people so that he could plan his game.

Sect leader Yao scoffed off, glaring at the jin guangyao with disgust "Did you see anything that gave us happiness?? So there is no need to continue it."

Sect leader Chang agreed instantly as he is already dead in future so there is no use of knowing anything more about it.

Jin Zixun sneered. “So let’s storm their precious library and snatch the book. What’s the point of waiting? The Lans are too busy serving tea and pretending at hospitality.”

Jin Guangyao’s lips curved into his usual mild smile, his tone smooth but edged. “Jin Zixun, that recklessness is exactly what would destroy us. Cloud Recesses is not a simple courtyard—it’s a fortress of wards. If we move rashly, every alarm will sound, and every sect here will unite against us.”

Su She scoffed. “Then what’s your brilliant plan, Guangyao? Do we just sit and wait for them to drag every one of our names through the dirt? Or  worst—eliminate us ?”

Sect Leader Yao muttered, “No. But he is right—this must be subtle. A shadow, not a strike.”

All eyes turned back to Jin Guangyao. He folded his hands neatly, lowering his voice. “The book lies in the restricted hall. If we want it, the watchers must be drawn away first. A distraction, staged here in Cloud Recesses itself. Something so loud that no one cannot ignore it.”

Sect Leader Chang frowned but jin zixun was first to speak “What kind of distraction? ”

Guangyao’s smile deepened, faint and chilling. “A fight, perhaps—just after the break and before the book is carried back to the restricted hall. In that moment, Father will slip out to seize the book as he has no role to play in such disputes, and with Su She’s instructions, he can escape Cloud Recesses without triggering the wards. After all, Su She once lived here; it’s only natural he knows the hidden passages.”

Su She smirked with cold pride. “Hmph. I’ll handle it. While everyone will be busy settling the commotion, I’ll have the book in my hands and vanish.”
