Chapter 65 Yourou Fourteenth 3

Lan Wangji approached and handed Tianzixiao to him.Wei Wuxian walked in with the jar in his arms. Lan Wangji shook his head at his back, but his eyes were very soft.Lan Xichen glanced at he and said, “Did you get it from your house?”

Lan Wangji nodded.

Lan Xichen said: “You… better not touch the wine. Be careful, just like that time.”

he’s eyes fell on the clothes near Lan Wangji’s collarbone.Lan Wangji also lowered his head, glanced at his heart, and said, “I won’t do that again.”

Lan Xichen forced a smile and sighed again.

After Lan Xichen left, Lan Wangji entered the house and closed the door lightly.As Wei Wuxian opened the wine seal, he was still thinking about the story of Lan An and Qing Hengjun, the ancestors of the Gusu Lan family. He thought in his mind: “The Gusu Lan family is really a mysterious family. Although the ancestors are monks and the family tradition is rigid, they are really… in love.”

After thinking about it like this, he couldn’t help but look at another descendant of the Gusu Lan family in the room.

Lan Wangji was reading with his head down. There was a paper lamp in the corner of the desk. The faint light made his face become more beautiful than a crown jewel. His cold expression and light-colored eyes were also coated with a layer of warm color, making him so elegant that he didn’t look like a real person.For a moment, Wei Wuxian was dazed and confused, leaning over involuntarily.

Lan Wangji raised his eyes and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Wei Wuxian quickly came to his senses and said, “It’s okay. Your bookmark is quite beautiful.”

Lan Wangji’s bookmark is a light-colored dried flower, which is extremely well preserved. The color is still bright and lustrous. The petals have delicate veins and are as if they are alive. Sandwiched between the pages of the book, it exudes a faint fragrance.Wei Wuxian raised his hand and took out the bookmark, saying, “Peony?”

Lan Wangji said, “Yeah.”

Wei Wuxian played with it for a few moments before returning the bookmark to he, saying, “Your brother was hit hard.”

Lan Wangji carefully put the dried peony flower into the book, closed the page, and said, “If you find evidence, he will not tolerate it.”

Wei Wuxian said, “That’s right. He is your brother after all.”

No matter how good the relationship between Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao is, he is still a member of the Gusu Lan Sect and has his own principles.

Wei Wuxian opened a wine jar and thought to himself: “Last time when Lan Zhan was drunk, he answered me honestly, saying that he had never secretly drank the Emperor’s Smile in the house, so why did he hide these Emperor’s Smiles? They couldn’t be specially reserved for me to drink. It’s a bit shameless to think so. Having said that, should I apologize to him for wiping his forehead? After all, I have done it so many times. But heWhat if he gets angry and kicks me out?But I’ve been messing around for so long and he’s not angry yet. It shows that he’s getting better and better, so he probably won’t be angry if he makes a fuss again.No, I shouldn’t ask him. I should just pretend that I don’t know the meaning of wiping my forehead, so that I can pull it on purpose next time. If he gets angry, I can innocently say that I don’t know, and the person who doesn’t know is not guilty…”

Wei Wuxian felt proud, and Lan Wangji asked, “What’s wrong?”

He turned around and said seriously: “It’s nothing. I’m happy.” He opened a small jar absentmindedly, lifted it up and drank, and it spurted out with a “poof”.

Lan Wangji immediately put down the scroll and said, “What’s wrong?”

Wei Wuxian waved his hands and said, “It’s okay! It’s okay, it’s okay!”

While saying it was okay, he put the jar back and replaced it with another jar with a look of dismay on his face.

After he drank secretly last time, he deliberately mixed it with plain water, thinking that when Lan Wangji drank it by himself, he would be shocked by the plain water.Unexpectedly, it was such bad luck that Lan Wangji happened to have this jar of water in the two jars he took, and he drank it himself.

Since coming back, every time he tries to tease Lan Wangji, he always ends up shooting himself in the foot. It’s really puzzling!

Wei Wuxian didn’t know when he fell asleep. He was groggy until early in the morning, when he suddenly woke up.With a start, he got up and saw that Lan Wangji was still wearing his clothes and was carrying Qin Jian on his back. He took back the hand on his shoulder, looked at something in his palm and said, “We have an uninvited guest.”

Wei Wuxian squinted his eyes and saw that that thing was the popular jade order of the Gusu Lan Sect.He remembers that Lan Wangji’s area is of a high level. If outsiders invade the barrier of Yun Shenzhen, they will be warned.

But no one has dared to invade Yunshen for more than ten years.Wei Wuxian jumped out of bed and found that his coat had been taken off at some point. As he was getting dressed, he asked, “Who is it?”

Lan Wangji shook his head and motioned for Wei Wuxian to follow him.The two of them sneaked into a secluded residence with green bamboos. Light came from the paper windows. Wei Wuxian glanced at the wooden plaque in front of the courtyard and said, “A cold room?”

Sure enough, Lan Xichen was sitting at attention in the room. He was not surprised when the two of them entered. He and Lan Wangji looked at each other and understood each other.Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian sat behind the screen.

After a while, the bamboo curtain of the cold room was opened, and a light footstep walked into the room and seemed to sit down opposite Lan Xichen.

After a while, I heard the sound of jade stones touching each other. It seemed like someone put something on the table and pushed it over.

Lan Xichen was the first to speak: “What do you mean?”

One person said: “Return to my second brother.”

It was Jin Guangyao.

Lan Xichen said: “I have given this to you.”

Jin Guangyao said: “This jade order has not expired for many years. Now that it has expired, it is time for it to be returned to its original owner.”

Wei Wuxian understood.Because Lord Zewu and Lian Fangzun have a good personal relationship, Lan Xichen also gave Jin Guangyao a jade order from the Yunshenwu Residence, allowing him to come in and out unimpeded. However, he may have changed the barrier restrictions at the Yunshenzhen Residence in the past few days, or withdrew Jin Guangyao’s access rights to the jade order. Jin Guangyao just came to visit and was turned away, so he took the initiative to return the jade order.

Like Lan Wangji, Lan Xichen also doesn’t know how to compromise. Jin Guangyao retreats in order to advance, while he remains silent for a moment and asks, “What’s going on here?”

Jin Guangyao said: “There is still no news about Hanguang Lord and Yiling Patriarch here. I don’t want anyone to investigate Yun Shen. Many families are already full of doubts and have strong objections. Second brother, if it is convenient for you, please open the door for an hour. Then I will bring someone to deal with it.”

Wei Wuxian originally thought that he came here to ask for an interrogation, but Jin Guangyao said such words, seemingly not interested in searching for the whereabouts of the Yiling ancestor, and he couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.Outside the screen, Jin Guangyao said again: “Second brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Lan Xichen said: “Nothing.”

Jin Guangyao said: “If you are worried about forgetting the opportunity, you don’t have to. Hanguang-Jun is an elegant and upright person, which has been obvious to hundreds of families for many years. He must have just been deceived to do this. Besides, he has not done anything irreversible. He will just make it clear when the time comes. I will not let others have the opportunity to gossip.”

Lan Xichen asked: “When? When?”

Jin Guangyao said: “After clearing out the mass graves.”

Wei Wuxian was startled.Lan Xichen asked: “Mass grave?”

Jin Guangyao said: “Since the brawl in Jinlintai that day, there have been many strange phenomena in Moling, Lanling, Yunmeng and other places. The cemetery was destroyed and the corpses disappeared. There are signs that a large number of corpses are heading towards Yiling. I am afraid they are going to the mass graves.”

Lan Xichen asked: “What exactly is this going to do?”

Jin Guangyao said, “I don’t know. It is speculated that Wei Wuxian may have launched some evil formation, or used the Yin Tiger Talisman.”

Lan Xichen asked: “At that time at Jinlin Terrace, he was stabbed by Jin Ling. How could he still activate these things?”

Jin Guangyao said, “Second brother, how was Wei Wuxian injured in the battle when he betrayed the Yunmeng Jiang clan and the leader of the Jiang clan? Why not just go back and command the wind and rain to order the corpses? What would be so difficult for the ancestor of Yiling?”

Wei Wuxian touched his chin and thought to himself, “You think so highly of me…”

Jin Guangyao said: “So, I’m afraid there will be a second mass grave siege in the near future. I have informed some other families to go to Jinlin Terrace to discuss this matter. Second brother, are you coming?”

After a while, Lan Xichen said: “Come on. You go to the private room and wait for a while. I will go with you later.”

After Jin Guangyao left, Lan Xichen turned behind the screen, faced Lan Wangji for a moment, and said, “I’ll go to Jinlin Terrace, and you guys will go to the mass graves. Split up.”

Lan Wangji nodded slowly and said, “Okay.”

Lan Xichen said: “If he really has different intentions, I will never tolerate him.”

Lan Wangji said, “I know.”

The two of them walked down the path to an unknown place in the clouds. On the way, the grass beside the white stone path rustled and suddenly parted, revealing a small head like a snow pom-pom and a pair of long ears.

The rabbit’s pink nose shrank, and when it saw Lan Wangji, its drooping ears suddenly stood up, and it kicked off its legs and jumped towards him.They came to the patch of green grass. Little Apple was lying next to a tree, and dozens of chubby white rabbits were surrounding it. Most of them had their eyes closed and were sleeping peacefully, and a few were still humping.Wei Wuxian walked to the side of the tree and scratched Little Apple’s donkey head. Little Apple jumped up and woke up with a heavy breath from its nostrils. Seeing Wei Wuxian, he was about to yell. The rabbits gathered together were also awakened. They shook their long ears and jumped towards Lan Wangji. They gathered around his snow-white boots and ran around him. They didn’t know what they were excited about.

Wei Wuxian held Little Apple’s reins, pulling and threatening it. The rabbits stood on the ground on their hind legs, and stood upright, one by one on Lan Wangji’s legs, all trying to climb up.Lan Wangji remained unmoved.After the two started walking, the white rabbits stumbled after the white boots, refusing to leave no matter how hard Wei Wuxian drove them away. Lan Wangji bent down and picked up one and held it in his arms. His face remained cold, but his hand movements were gentle. His slender fingers scratched the chin of a rabbit. The rabbit flicked its long ears and turned its head. Its ruby ​​eyes narrowed into a line, as if it was extremely satisfying to be scratched.Wei Wuxian went to scratch it, but it turned its head away.Wei Wuxian said, “To despise me so much and only love you is to admit your mastership.”

Lan Wangji glanced at him and put the white rabbit into his arms.Wei Wuxian chuckled and took it. The rabbit was twisting and turning in his arms, struggling hard. Wei Wuxian tugged on its ears and said, “Don’t like me? Hate me? You run away. You can’t escape no matter how you run away. Just like me.”

Wei Wuxian pinched the rabbit and teased it for a while. When they were almost out of the gate of Yunshenzhen, he released the rabbit whose white fur was messed up by him.These rabbits could no longer follow, so they lowered their ears sadly and sat there, watching their master leave.

Wei Wuxian looked back and said, “I can’t bear to leave you, Lord Hanguang. I didn’t expect you to be so fond of these little things. You must have been gentle and attentive to them when you raised them. I can’t.”

Lan Wangji said, “No?”

Wei Wuxian said proudly, “Yes! Those who fly in the sky, those who walk on the ground, and those who swim in the water all turn around and run away when they see me.”

Lan Wangji shook his head, the meaning was too obvious: Wei Wuxian must have done evil first, so he didn’t like them.
