     They arrived to the Unclean Realm and took Xue Yang inside, the doors were shut and Nie Mingjue was glaring at him threateningly.
    His sword was shaking next to him, almost as if it was anxious to feel blood. Mingjue slammed his hand on the table and the sword struck, it was only and inch away from Xue Yang's face who smirked at it.
   "Wait!" Wei Ying said. The blade retreated.
   "What? Are you pleading for this scoundrel?" Mingjue asked. Wei Ying and Xue Yang looked at each other, Wei Ying kept a straight face while Xue Yang smiled.
    "Clan Leader Nie, everything is unclear now. It's not too late to kill  him until we make it clear," he said.
     "I thought there was no doubt about the cause!" Mingjue said.
    "Clan Leader Nie," Xue Yang drawled, "if I'm really with the Wen Clan of Qishan, then execute me. I'm afraid the Nie Clan will have the same fate as the Chang Clan."
   "The Wen Clan gas no humanity, violating nature's will, I am a just and frank man. I fear nothing when I'm face with sinners like you," Mingjue spat.
   "Clan Leader Nie, don't be angry," Wei Ying said, "Xue Yang is not a threat, but the Yin Iron is vital to several great clans. Moreover, Xue Yang is in your hands, you can kill him anytime," he looked at Xue Yang. "We can take this opportunity to ask where the Yin Iron is. Wen Ruohan may not know that we all have control over Xue Yang, we can keep it a secret for a while. If we find the Yin Iron in advance, it's a big loss to Qishan."
   They all pondered over his words and Mingjue spoke, "Meng Yao take him to the dungeons, watch him carefully and strengthen the guard."
   "Of course," Meng Yao said, "come!" He called out to the guards. Two men came in and took Xue Yang who was smirking, they took him outside with Meng Yao following close behind.
    Everyone else stood in silence for a while before Wei Ying stepped forward and said, "May I go with them? I would like to ask Xue Yang a couple of questions, and see if I can get any information out of him."
    Mingjue nodded slowly, "Good idea, go and tell the guards that I sent you."
    "Thank you," Wei Ying bowed and walked out. He went to the dungeons after asking a man and saw the big doors. Wei Ying walked up to the guards, "Sect Leader Nie sent me to ask Xue Yang a couple of questions."
     The guards looked at each other before nodding, "Sure, come with me," one of them said. Wei Ying followed the man and they walked inside, it was a big room. There were several cells containing nothing, but one to the left contained Xue Yang.
    Wei Ying was led to the cell and the guard left. He sat down on the floor next to the bars and Xue Yang scooted over to the other side, "What are you doing here?"
    "I said I needed to ask you questions," Wei Ying said.
    Xue Yang chuckled, "Are you that worried about me? I'm flattered."
   "Don't be ridiculous," Wei Ying said, "I only came to see how I'm going to get your ass out of trouble again."
   "Still using those words, tch I stopped using them when I was seven," Xue Yang said.
    "So what?" Wei Ying said, "I can still use them."
    "Fine go ahead," Xue Yang said, "use them. And also I already got a plan to get out."
    "What is it?" Wei Ying asked.
     "I have someone here who'll help," he said softly, "Meng Yao."
     "Really?" Wei Ying asked.
     "Yeah," Xue Yang said smirking, "but I'm helping him in return of course."
     "What are you going to help him with?"
     "Killing a couple of people, but that's after I kill those who got in my way," Xue Yang said.
     "Don't kill Jiang Cheng or Lan Zhan though," Wei Ying said.
     "Why not?" Xue Yang asked.
    "Jiang Cheng is my brother," Wei Ying said, "obviously. And Lan Zhan didn't really do anything."
    "Is that really the reason?" Xue Yang asked, "Are you sure it's not because you lik-"
    "Shut up! We agreed to not talk about that!" Wei Ying interrupted.
    "It's true then, you like him and you don't want me to kill him," Xue Yang said smirking.
     Wei Ying turned a deep red, "It's not like you can kill him anyways. He's too strong for you."
   Xue Yang scoffed, "Sure, think what you want love boy, but nobody's stronger than me."
    "Don't call me that!" Wei Ying said, "If you call me that one more time I swear I will ruin the rest of your life."
    "You sound just like the pretty one," Xue Yang laughed, "you really are uncle and nephew."
     "Why do you call him pretty one and me lover boy?" Wei Ying mumbled. 
     "Because it fits you two," Xue Yang teased, "he also had a pretty voice now that I think about it. I wonder how it would sound if he was-"
      "Alright! That's enough!" Wei Ying said, "I don't need to hear about murder or anything like that."
     Xue Yang chuckled, "Who said I was talking about murder?"
     "You weren't?" Wei Ying asked surprised, "That's a first, what were you going to say?"
      "I was going to say, how would his voice sound if he was singing," Xue Yang said suspiciously, "obviously."
     Wei Ying nodded, "Sure you were." The door opened and they quickly separated, "Alright, last question. Are you related to Xue Chonghai?"
    "Maybe," Xue Yang said smirking.
    "Time's up!" The guard yelled.
    Wei Ying turned around, "Alright, thank you." He stood up and winked at Xue Yang who smirked, he walked outside and the door closed behind him. He smiled and walked away from the doors, he was glad the man had an escape plan, they were best friends after all.
