Chapter 21 - Dew part 1

After entering the city, the two walked side-by-side through the bustling crowd. All of a sudden,Lan WangJi asked, "How is the Curse Mark?"

Wei WuXian, "Jin Ling and Lan Mingyu were buried too close to our dear friend and got stained with quite a lot ofresentful energy. It faded a bit, but it's not completely gone. The chances are we can only find away to remove it after we find the whole corpse or at least the head. It doesn't really cause muchtrouble anyways."

The "dear friend" was none other than the man that had been cut to pieces. Since they didn'tknow who he was, Wei WuXian suggested that they referred to him as a "dear friend". LanWangJi didn't say anything after hearing it, but he didn't object to it either, which could beinterpreted as a silent approval. Of course, he himself wouldn't ever use the word.

Lan WangJi, "How much is a bit?"

Wei WuXian indicated with his hands, "A bit is just a bit. How do I explain it? Should I take myclothes off and show you?"

Lan WangJi's brows shifted slightly as if he was actually worried that Wei WuXian would stripright here and right now. He replied with an indifferent tone, "Take them off after we return."

Wei WuXian laughed, whirled around, and walked a few steps facing backward. Before, in orderto escape as soon as possible, he desperately tried to disgust others, from feigning madness topurposely losing face. Now that his identity was revealed, if he were anyone else, he would'vefelt extremely ashamed remembering all those things he did. Only someone with a face as thickas Wei WuXian would carry on as if he wasn't involved in anything. Speaking of it, if he wereanyone else with at least some face, he would never have done ridiculous things such as climbinginto someone's bed at night, insisting on sharing a bathtub together, and asking if he lookedpretty after putting on makeup. Since he pretended that he didn't remember anything, LanWangJi naturally refrained from bringing up the subject, the two acting as if nothing hadhappened. Today was the first time he made such a joke again after his identity was no longer asecret. When he finished laughing, Wei WuXian immediately put on a serious face, "HanGuangJun, do you think that the people who set our dear friend's hand in Mo Village and made it attackyour juniors and niece, and the people who sewed his legs on another corpse and buried them in the wall,are the same group of people?"

Wei WuXian already told Lan WangJi what happened to Lan Mingyu when they left her alone, finding her injured and nearly claimed by death, luckily Lan XiChen who was informed by Jiang Cheng told Lan WangJi that his niece is alright.

Both in the past and the present, in his mind, he directly called Lan WangJi by his first name, buthe got used to the last few days of calling him by his title. Besides, him calling this name createda tone of exaggerated seriousness, sounding unexplainably funny. Thus, when they were outside,he continued to call him in such a semi-earnest way.

Lan WangJi, "There are two groups."

Wei WuXian, "Well, I agree. Taking such pains to sew the legs to another corpse and hide themin a wall obviously meant that they didn't want the limbs to be discovered. If so, they wouldn'thave purposely tossed out the left hand to attack the GusuLan Sect's people, since it woulddefinitely have caused attention and investigation. One went to great lengths to hide everything,while the other attacked rashly, almost as if it wanted to be discovered. They're probably not thesame group of people."

Everything that needed to be said had been said. Lan WangJi seemed like he didn't haveanything else to say anymore, but responded with an approving "mnn" anyway. 

Wei WuXian turned around, speaking as he walked, "The people who hid the legs knew aboutthe QingheNie Sect's Saber Hall tradition, while the people who let the left hand lose knewabout the GusuLan Sect's plans, and they also knew that Lan Mingyu is with the group to help. I don't think any of them have simple intents. There are moreand more secrets."
