As for Li Zhicheng, Li Zhicheng is Jin Guangshan's subordinate. Everything he did was instructed by Jin Guangshan. Although it was not his original intention, he did it after all. He can escape the death penalty but cannot escape the punishment of life.

The final sentence was life imprisonment.

This outcome was taken care of by Wei Wuxian. It was he who pleaded with Jiang Fengmian, who took charge of Li Zhicheng's subsequent affairs. Only then was Li Zhicheng allowed to return to Yiling with his soul and corpse, who were praying for blessings.

"Wen Chao, Wen Xu..." Jiang Cheng muttered the name twice.

Wen Qing said: "I don't know if Wen Chao will do anything more outrageous in the future, but it depends on the attitude of the sect master towards him. Even if he does something unforgivable in the future, the sect master will only protect him if he can."

Wei WuXian said: “If this is true, then Sect Master Wen must keep a close eye on Wen Chao, otherwise he will be harmed sooner or later.”

After Wen Qing talked with Wei Wuxian and the others, the banquet began soon.

Although Qing Heng Jun has become the leader of the immortals, he is not in a high position like Wen Ruohan was in the past, but is on an equal footing with other aristocratic families.

Wei Wuxian looked at Jin Zixuan, one of the five great families, who was sitting down. His face, which should have been full of vigor and handsomeness, was now full of haggardness, and the bright cinnabar between his eyebrows had even dimmed a lot.

I guess Jin Zixuan must have been exhausted from dealing with clan affairs during this period.

But think about it, he was still a teenager and suddenly became the leader of a sect, and what was even more terrible was that he had to deal with the mess left by the previous leader.

Those families that were originally vassal states of the Jin family feared the power of the Jin family, so they naturally tried their best to please and accommodate Jin Guangshan.

After Jin Guangshan's death, those who had been oppressed for such a long time were eager to get back at their enemies.

Just a while ago, because Jin Guangshan had occupied other people's resources and territories during his lifetime, those families who wanted to maintain relations with the Jin family at the expense of their own interests came to him and asked Jin Zixuan to compensate them for their losses over the years.

Jin Zixuan is a teenager, a pampered young man, who disdains taking advantage of others the most. Suddenly he has to take over this mess. If he wants to solve these problems perfectly, the Jin family will inevitably have to spend a lot of money. There is no other way.

Not only that, it also caused great losses to local forces.

The reputation of a family is accumulated over several generations, and after Jin Guangshan's operation on the Jin family's reputation, people, whether from Lanling area or other places, would not entrust them with anything no matter how difficult it was.

It is not so easy to regain the lost support of the people.

It was already evening when the banquet ended. After a general farewell, Wei Wuxian went to the Lan family to prepare rooms for these guests who had come from afar.

On the way back to the room with Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian stretched and looked at Jiang Cheng who remained silent and said, "Why, are you unwilling to accept this?"

Jiang Cheng didn't know why he asked this question: "What are you unwilling to accept?"

Wei WuXian kicked the stones on the road as he walked: “I am unwilling that our family failed to win the position of Immortal Leader.”

Jiang Cheng said indifferently: "What's the big deal? Why would I be unwilling to accept this?"

Wei WuXian patted his shoulder.

Jiang Cheng asked: "Why do you ask?"

Wei Wuxian had always seen how much Jiang Cheng cared about "The Immortal Supervisor" during this year.

Wei Wuxian still remembered the night last year when they went to subdue the Soul-Eating Goddess, Jiang Cheng asked what "I don't care" meant.

Wei Wuxian didn't understand it at the time, and thought it was just Junior Sister Jiang's weird temper coming out again. But later, after Wei Wuxian thought about it carefully, he understood.

Jiang Cheng felt that he didn't care about the Jiang family's honor or disgrace. After all, he did follow Lan Wangji around everywhere at the beginning.

Although Jiang Fengmian told them not to fight over the matter of "Xian Du Ren", no matter what, "Xian Du Ren" was a major competition among the five major families, which was related to the family's external identity and status.

Jiang Cheng felt at the time that Wei Wuxian's idle attitude didn't seem to take the matter seriously at all, as if he was not a member of the Jiang family.

Wei Wuxian really didn’t take it seriously at first. After all, he just didn’t want Jin Guangshan to be the leader of the immortals, and nothing else mattered.

After living for several lifetimes, what he cares least about is those flashy and empty names.

Later, during the hunting trip that year, Jiang Cheng took this matter far more seriously than Wei Wuxian had imagined.

Wei WuXian said, “I asked because I saw your face was so long and I’m concerned about you.”

Jiang Cheng said: "The Lan family was able to be elected as the upper immortal supervisor because they were lucky. Their scores were just a little higher than ours, just a little. This does not mean that our family is inferior to them. Besides, my efforts this year are not for our family to become the upper immortal supervisor."

Wei WuXian asked: “What’s that for?”

Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

Wei WuXian punched him on the back twice and said, “I understand even if you don’t say it.”

Seeing that he looked like he had seen through him, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "You know shit!"

“Hahahahaha.” Wei WuXian laughed twice: “Okay, okay, I don’t know shit.”

Jiang Cheng ignored him and strode forward.

Looking at his back, Wei WuXian sighed softly.

Wei Wuxian is the eldest disciple of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. Whether in terms of academics or cultivation, he is a genius among his peers, unmatched by ordinary people.

In fact, Jiang Cheng is indeed not bad, but whenever he faces Wei Wuxian, he immediately seems a little dim. In addition, due to the grudges of the previous generation, Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian are both men, and he is often criticized by Yu Ziyuan, who makes them compare with each other.

After the comparison, Jiang Cheng was scolded even more harshly by Madam Yu. She said things like he would never be as good as the one next to him and that he couldn't just work harder to bring honor to his family. Jiang Cheng had heard these things since he was a child.

Therefore, there has always been an obsession in Jiang Cheng's heart. He longs for the recognition and praise of Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan. Whether it is a verbal "well done" or an encouraging look, it can make Jiang Cheng excited.

They walked and stopped along the way and returned to their residence in a slow manner. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were arranged to sleep in the same yard. As soon as Jiang Cheng stepped into the yard, he stood at the door and did not move forward.

There was some distance between Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian shouted from a distance, "Jiang Cheng, why don't you go in? What are you doing standing outside?"

When Wei Wuxian got closer, he saw Jiang Cheng’s expression, as if he had eaten shit.

Looking forward, under the moonlight, there stood a figure in snow-white clothes in the yard.
