Chapter 87 Loyalty Nineteen 9

As he said that, he grabbed two branches and started to climb up the trunk. He climbed straight up the tree trunk with ease. When he climbed close to the top of the tree, Wei Wuxian stopped and said, “Well, that’s about it.”

he buried his face in a cluster of dense branches and leaves, and after a while he looked down. He spoke in a high-pitched voice, seemingly with a smile: “I thought it was scary to be tall at the time, but now I think it’s actually not that high.”

When he hugged the tree, Wei Wuxian’s eyes instantly heated up.When I looked down, my vision was blurry.

Lan Wangji stood under this tree, looking up at him.He was also dressed in white, without a lantern, but the moonlight shone on him, making his whole body so bright and bright, as if he was enveloped in a faint halo.He raised his head slightly, looking at the top of the tree with a focused look, and took a few steps closer to the tree, as if he wanted to stretch out his hands.

Suddenly, an extremely strong impulse surged in Wei Wuxian’s mind.

He wants to fall again like he did back then.

There is a voice in he’s heart that says: “If he catches me, I will…”

When the word “I will” came to mind, Wei Wuxian gave up.Seeing that he fell down the tree without any warning, Lan Wangji’s eyes widened suddenly, and he rushed up with a lunge. Wei Wuxian was caught by him, or in other words, he threw himself at him.

Lan Wangji has a slender figure and looks like a gentle man, but his strength should not be underestimated. Not only is his arm strength astonishing, but his lower body is more stable.But this was a grown man jumping from the tree after all, so although he caught Wei Wuxian, he stumbled slightly and took a step back.But he immediately stood firm.When he was about to let go of Wei Wuxian, he found that Wei Wuxian’s hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, making him unable to move.

He couldn’t see Wei Wuxian’s face, and Wei Wuxian couldn’t see he’s face, but there was no need to look. He closed his eyes and breathed in the cool sandalwood scent of Lan Wangji.

he said hoarsely: “Thank you.”

He is not afraid of falling. He has fallen many times over the years.But if you fall to the ground, it will still hurt after all.

It would be great if someone could catch he.

Lan Wangji’s body seemed to stiffen when he heard he thank him.The hand that was originally going to be placed on Wei Wuxian’s back paused and then took it back.

After a moment of silence, Lan Wangji said, “No need.”

After hugging him for a while, Wei Wuxian separated from he, stood up straight and looked like a good man again, and said like a normal person: “Go back!”

Lan Wangji asked, “Don’t you want to read it?”

Wei Wuxian said, “Look! But there’s nothing interesting to see outside. Going further is the wilderness. We’ve seen enough of this in these days. Go back to Lotus Pier, and I’ll show you the last place.”

The two returned to the pier and re-entered the gate of Lotus Pier.Walking through the school grounds and passing by a gorgeous small building, Wei Wuxian stopped and looked at it a few more times, with a different look on his face.Lan Wangji said, “What’s wrong?”

Wei Wuxian shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. The house I used to live in is here, but it’s gone now. It was demolished as expected. These are all newly built.”

They bypassed the many buildings and came to a quiet place deep in Lotus Pier, in front of a black octagonal palace.As if he was afraid of disturbing anyone, Wei Wuxian gently opened the door and walked in.In front of the hall, there are rows of spiritual tablets arranged neatly.

The ancestral hall of the Yunmeng Jiang family.

He found a futon and knelt down, took three incense sticks from the altar, burned them on the candles, lit them and inserted them into the copper cauldron in front of the memorial tablets. He knelt down to two of the memorial tablets three times and said to Lan Wangji, “I used to be a frequent visitor here.”

Lan Wangji looked clear and said, “Kneel down as punishment?”

Wei WuXian wondered, “How do you know? It’s true. Madam Yu punishes me every three days.”

Lan Wangji nodded and said, “I heard a little bit about it.”

Wei WuXian said: “It has been rumored that Yunmeng has spread to your Gusu area, but you have heard about it a little bit. But to be honest, in all these years, I have never seen a second woman with such a bad temper as Madam Yu. She would send me to the ancestral hall to kneel down at the slightest trivial matter. Hahaha…”

However, other than that, Mrs. Yu has never really done anything to harm him.

He suddenly remembered that this was an ancestral hall, and Mrs. Yu’s memorial tablet was right in front of him, and he hurriedly said, “Sorry, sin, guilty.” In order to make up for his unobtrusive words, he lit three more sticks of incense, and was holding them high above his head, apologizing in his heart. Suddenly, there was darkness around him, and when he looked sideways, Lan Wangji knelt down beside him.

Now that I have come to the mourning hall, for the sake of propriety, I naturally have to show respect.Lan Wangji also took three sticks of incense, rolled up his sleeves and lit them on a red candle nearby, his movements regular and his expression solemn.Wei Wuxian tilted his head and looked at him, the corners of his mouth rising slightly involuntarily.Lan Wangji glanced at he and reminded: “Incense ash.”

The three incense sticks that Wei Wuxian held in his hand burned for a while, and a small amount of ashes had accumulated, and they were about to fall off.He refused to insert the incense cauldron, but said seriously: “Let’s go together.”

Lan Wangji had no objection, so they each held three sticks of incense, knelt in front of the memorial tablets, and together they bowed their heads to the names of Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan.

Once, twice, the movements of worshiping are exactly the same.Wei Wuxian said, “Okay.” Then he solemnly inserted the incense stick into the copper cauldron.

Finally, Wei Wuxian glanced at Lan Wangji, who was kneeling beside him in an extremely upright posture, clasped his hands together, and said silently in his heart: “Uncle Jiang, Mrs. Yu, it’s me again. I’m here to disturb your peace again.

“But I really want to bring this person to you for a look. The two rak’ahs just now are considered to be the prayers to heaven, earth and parents. You two should help me decide on the person next to me first. I owe you the last rakshasa, and I will find opportunities to make up for it in the future…”

At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Wei Wuxian was praying silently when he heard the sound and suddenly opened his eyes.Looking back, I saw Jiang Cheng standing in an open space outside the ancestral hall with his arms folded.

he said coolly: “Wei Wuxian, you really don’t regard yourself as an outsider. You come and go when you want, and you take people with you when you want. But do you still remember whose house this is and who the master is?”

Wei Wuxian originally wanted to avoid him when he did this, but when Jiang Cheng found out, he knew that he would inevitably get some harsh words.He didn’t want to get into any more quarrels and said, “I didn’t take Mr. Hanguang to other secret places in Lotus Pier. I just came to offer a few sticks of incense to worship Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Yu. I’ve finished offering them, so I’ll leave now.”

Jiang Cheng said, “If you want to leave, please go as far as possible. Don’t let me hear or see you fooling around in Lotus Pier again.”

Wei Wuxian’s brows jumped. He saw Lan Wangji’s right hand pressing on the hilt of the sword, and he quickly pressed the back of his hand.

Lan Wangji said to Jiang Cheng, “Watch your words.”

Jiang Cheng said bluntly, “I think you should pay more attention to your behavior.”

Wei Wuxian’s brows were twitching more and more, and the ominous premonition in his heart was getting stronger. He said to Lan Wangji, “Hanguang-Jun, let’s go.”

He turned around and kowtowed a few times before the memorial tablets of Jiang Fengmian and his wife, and then stood up together with Lan Wangji.Jiang Cheng did not forbid him from kowtowing, but he did not hide his sarcasm: “You should really kneel down to them, come in front of them without any reason, and insult their eyes and humiliate their purity.”

Wei Wuxian glanced at he and said calmly, “It’s just a piece of incense, you can do it.”

Jiang Cheng said, “Send incense? Wei Wuxian, don’t you have any sense of self-consciousness? You have been kicked out of our family a long time ago. What kind of random people are brought here to offer incense to my parents?”

Wei Wuxian was about to cross he and leave. When he heard this sentence, he suddenly paused and said in a deep voice, “You should make it clear, who is the mess?”

If he was the only one here, he would pretend he didn’t hear anything Jiang Cheng said.But now Lan Wangji is also with him, and no matter what, he doesn’t want Lan Wangji to endure Jiang Cheng’s increasingly unpleasant words and maliciousness with him.

Jiang Cheng sarcastically said, “You are so forgetful. What do you mean by a messed up person? Then let me remind you. Just because you acted like a hero and saved the second young master Lan next to you, the entire Lotus Pier and my parents were buried with you. This is not enough. After the first time, you have to come back for the second time. You have to save even Wen Gou, and bring my sister with you. HeYou guys, you are so great.What’s even more great is that you are so magnanimous that you brought these two people to Lotus Pier to let Wen Gou wander in front of our house and let Mr. Lan come in to burn incense, deliberately causing trouble for me and us.”

he said, “Wei Wuxian, who do you think you are? Who gave you the face to bring people into our ancestral hall?”

Wei Wuxian had known that Jiang Cheng had always been obsessed with settling this debt with him.

Jiang Cheng felt that not only Wei Wuxian was responsible for the destruction of Lotus Pier, but Wen Ning and Lan Wangji were also involved. He would not look down upon any of these three people, let alone hanging around in front of him and even arriving at Lotus Pier. He would probably be furious.
