The juniors lifted those who were poisoned and waited for his order. "We need to find a place to treat you brats." Jin Ling knocked on a door and saw that it was open.

"Hey, I found a place!" he yelled out. "Tsk, not that place." Wei Ying said when he saw Jin Ling was about to enter it. Just then the door Sizhui knocked on opened.

"Hello, we were wondering if we can rest here for a while." Sizhui asked the old woman who stood at the door. As she was about to close the door, Wei Ying stopped the door with his foot. After talking with her, she allowed them to enter. When they entered, Sizhui used a talisman to light the candles.

Meanwhile Wei Ying walked towards the old lady. "Miss, may we use your kitchen?" she nodded and pointed the directions to the kitchen.

Immediately he and Sizhui covered their nose when they entered the kitchen. Sizhui put wood in the fireplace.(A/N can't remember what it's called)

Just then Jin Ling entered the room coughing. "What is that smell?" he asked with a disgusted expression. "What are you even doing?" he asked them. "I'm making congee." Wei Ying answered him simply. "So that's why you wanted a house that has someone in it?" (A/N I don't think I mentioned that he said that. But some events in this story will just be skipped, too much for my brain.)

"Congee doesn't taste great." Jin Ling complained. "Who said you're going to eat it?" (A/N at least you're safe Jin Ling🙄) Wei Ying asked him while cleaning the rice. "Anyways, why don't you pick up a broom and clean the room." It was more of a demand than a question. "You-"

However he still cleaned the room. while Jin Ling cleaned the room, Wei Ying finished cleaning the rice. He put in in a pot and unconsciously added spice into the rice.

Soon the congee was finished and the two juniors helped him carry it to the rest. Jingyi lifted his bowl to smell it and his eyes burned. However he still ate it, only to cough after tasting it.

Sizhui patted Jingyi's back and tasted the congee after making sure Jingyi is okay. He too choked and coughed. Wei Ying was confused by their reactions. He tasted his own congee, "Ah, I might have added too much spice."

"Might?" Jingyi asked with an are-you-serious- expression. Despite the horrific taste, the juniors were cured of their corpse poisoning, and the awful taste brought back a curious feeling of déjà vu for Lan Sizhui.

Wei Wuxian then helped the juniors investigate, explaining that the old lady is in fact a walking corpse with some sentience: the marks on her face and hands were not from old age but from livor mortis.

Suddenly they heard a sound coming from outside. Wanting to be careful Wei Ying went to the window. He wanted to prank the juniors so he pretended to be scared and jumped from the window after a few seconds. Jin Ling walked to towards the window.

He was still looking for whatever Wei Ying saw, when a girl with white eyes appeared in front of him. He jumped back and wanted to reveal what he saw but before he could Wei Ying put a finger on his(WY) lips. Jin Ling getting the memo stepped back and let the others see.

After waiting for the rest of the juniors, Wei Ying asked them what they saw. "A small girl, white eyes with a bamboo stick." Jingyi said. "Small, petite girl, she would probably reach my shoulders, after a bath, she would clean and look a little nicer. Looks are a bit average. Also blind." Ouyang Zizhen said.

"Hm. You'll be the sentimental type when you're older." Wei Ying told him. The rest of the juniors teased him after the comment he made, making him blush.

Outside in the fog, Wei Wuxian saw a lone cultivator battling against a group of walking corpses. He helped by summoning a pair of spirits to inhabit two mannequins inside the shop.

Wei Wuxian orders the mannequins to destroy the walking corpses and bring the cultivator back inside. The man wore bandages over his eyes and claimed to be Xiao Xingchen. . Wei Ying saw that Xiao Xingchen was also poisoned and decided to give him some congee. He too coughed after that, "You can have more if you like." Wei Ying told him. Are you trying to kill me? Xingchen thought, yet he still smiled and shook his head.

Wei Ying stared at Xingchen closely and suddenly smiled. He saw the sword behind him. "Kids, why don't you go outside for a while." It was more of a command than a question. "We are not ki-" he cut himself off after receiving a glare that a mother would give her child, "-we're going." He walked out with the rest of the juniors following him.

"Is there a reason you needed to send them outside?" Xingchen asked him, but Wei Ying didn't answer him. Rather he stood up and stared through the window. "Are you done pretending to be Daozhang?" He asked him after a minute of silence. Wei Ying turned to him after he only received silence. "What? Cat got your tongue, Xue.Chen.Mei?"
