The stoned house was pitch-black, cold, and quiet.

Holding Wen Jing by his waist, Jun YanZhi dropped out of the sky. His face was expressionless: "...We've arrived."

"Many thanks Jun shixiong."

Wen Jing's feet landed on the ground and he quickly headed towards the inside of the house.

Lighting a candle, he could see a large bulge under the quilt on the bed.

Wen Jing softly and quietly picked up the large tortoise and stood with him in his arms.

Black round eyes looked at him. Neither helping nor resisting, his four legs waved in the air.

Firmly holding the tortoise, he headed out, then looked back. Within the house was already standing a single slender figure. The candle-light gave him a somewhat hazy expression as he slowly looked around.

Wen Jing handed the large tortoise over to Jun YanZhi. He patted its head: "This room is a bit empty."

"It was originally meant to hold fifteen people. It's only natural that it'd feel empty."

Jun YanZhi received the tortoise but remained still with no sign of leaving.

Wen Jing gave him a blank look. He wasn't going anywhere; did he plan remaining as a guest?

He decided to feel him out and asked: "Jun shixiong doesn't need to go back home? Did you want to sit and chat?"

He had believed he would take his leave; he didn't expect Jun YanZhi to say: "That would be good."

Saying this, he sat down on the chair at the table with the tortoise on his lap.

Wen Jing sat down a little absent-mindedly. Although he was happy, he didn't have anything to talk about. For a short while there was silence as he knit his brows trying to think of something to say.

Jun YanZhi calmly asked: "What are you thinking about? You seem distressed."

Wen Jing quietly hung his head, saying: "I have something I can't figure out."

"What is it?"

"Wen RenMu of Tian Heng peak appears to be a very good person and an upright gentleman. Why would he be unable to distinguish right from wrong and support Wu Ying's claims?"

Jun YanZhi lightly said: "...it's not an issue with moral standing. It's that he's mediocre and incompetent. He arrogantly shields his shortcomings and extends this behavior to his subordinates. He was easily deceived by Wu Ying and was convinced by his one-sided story. With this partiality, he felt that we were the ones bullying Wu Ying."

Wen Jing slowly nodded: "Then that means everyone from Tian Heng peak were also blinded?"

"... more or less. If Wu Ying had dared to speak the truth, very likely that there wouldn't be too many people out to support him. Not being able to manage a spirit beast is a fault that's easy to excuse. However, to deliberately release the spirit beast so that it came to steal our spirit grass would be malicious and thus being injured would serve him right."

"Unfortunately, we have no evidence of his bad intentions."

"Right, we don't have any proof."

Jun YanZhi lowered his head for a long time. It was unclear what he was thinking. Suddenly he picked up the large tortoise and slowly stood up, warmly saying: "It's late. You still aren't going to bed?"
