When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

(Always stuck... o(╥﹏╥)o, even clear water is hard to send)

(Some follow-up to the short drama in the previous chapter.)

Wei Wuxian had originally agreed to take Lan Sizhui and the others to Nanling the next day, but...

Due to health reasons, he slept until the afternoon the next day, and had to postpone his trip to Nanling to another day.

Wei Wuxian finally woke up early that day, feeling refreshed. As agreed, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji led a group of juniors down the mountain.

Originally Wei Wuxian planned to take them there himself, but Lan Wangji insisted on following.

Lan Wangji had investigated and found that the monsters that appeared in Nanling were huge in size and agile in movement. They first appeared in a village half a year ago.

Yunmeng sent people to deal with it at that time, but the monster ran away after causing trouble. The people sent to hunt it not only got nothing but also suffered serious injuries.

Until now, the monster has only been seen hiding in the mountains, and the problem has not been completely resolved.

According to people who have seen it, this monster has a unique skill. It is good at confusing the minds of intruders. People with weak minds can be easily bewitched when they encounter it, and eventually lose their lives.

Therefore, Lan Wangji was very worried about Wei Wuxian going there alone with the younger generation.

However, Wei Wuxian didn’t think that anything could hurt him, not to mention that he now had the golden elixir in his body, which made him even more powerful.

But since my husband is worried, what else can I do? Let’s go on the road together.

Nanling is relatively close to Yunmeng, but very remote from Yunshenbuzhichu. By the time everyone flew on their swords and hurried to reach Nanling, it was already afternoon.

It was already dusk and it would soon get dark. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so everyone decided to rest in a nearby inn before making other plans.

After entering the inn, the waiter greeted them warmly: "Dear guests, do you want to stop by or stay overnight?"

Lan Sizhui was talking to the waiter.

Wei Wuxian was suddenly attracted by the lively noise outside the door, along with the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Wei WuXian asked: “Why are you guys so lively here? Are you celebrating some festival?”

The waiter said, "This is a local wealthy businessman looking for a son-in-law. You've heard of the wedding invitation with a ball, right? It should be starting soon, and everyone is going to join in the fun."

Wei WuXian said: “This embroidered ball to find a husband is all about fate. If an elderly man or a beggar accidentally picks it up, then wouldn’t that girl have to marry him too?”

The waiter said, "Don't worry about that. Since they are a wealthy businessman, there must be heavy guards when they throw the embroidered ball. Of course, only men of marriageable age are allowed to go. Besides, they only have one daughter, so they will naturally recruit a live-in son-in-law. Even if a beggar picked her up, she would naturally be transformed after entering the rich merchant's house."

“That’s pretty good.” Wei WuXian looked at the waiter and said, “You look pretty young, brother. I wonder why you don’t go. If you get the job, you’ll be very rich.”

The waiter scratched his head, looking a little silly: "Sir, you are joking. I am already twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and my child is five years old. I won't join in the fun of this kind of thing."

The waiter continued, "But I see that you are all very handsome, so you can go and receive the embroidered ball."

He pointed at Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi standing beside him and said, "This child is yours, right? He looks to be eighteen or nineteen years old, it's time to talk about marriage."

Wei Wuxian looked at the two of them. Lan Sizhui was embarrassed about this topic and quickly lowered his head.

Lan Jingyi was completely at a loss. He said, "Senior Wei, I'm only seventeen years old. I'm still a child."

Wei WuXian laughed loudly: “Little kid, little kid.”

After he finished laughing, he put his arm around Lan Wangji and started to walk out, saying as he walked, "Lan Zhan and I have never seen a wedding invitation ceremony, let's go and join in the fun."

Lan Wangji nodded.

After Lan Sizhui had arranged for the room, Lan Jingyi said, "Sizhui, should we go out with him to take a look?"

Lan Sizhui looked outside the door, a little hesitant.

Lan Jingyi said: "We have never seen a matchmaking ceremony with a ball, so let's go and join in the fun and broaden our horizons." After saying that, he dragged people out.

Here, Wei Wuxian pulled Lan Wangji along with the crowd and came to a very beautifully built attic.

There were people gathered in three layers in front of the attic, all of them were there to watch the fun.

In front of everyone was a group of guards to prevent anyone from causing trouble, and just below the attic stood a group of young people full of vigor and vitality, about twenty or thirty of them.

It’s quite a big scene.

Lan Wangji didn't like to be crowded with others, so he took him to a high place, atop a sturdy tung tree.

The two sat on the tree branch and looked down. Wei Wuxian asked Lan Wangji, "Which one do you think is better?"

Lan Wangji glanced down and shook his head.

Wei WuXian rested one hand on his leg, supported his chin and said, “The one wearing dark blue, I like him better.”

Lan Wangji asked, “Why?”

Wei WuXian said, “Because he’s the best looking.”

Lan Wangji remained silent.

Wei WuXian pinched Lan WangJi’s arm and said, “It’s not entirely because of this. His temperament is very outstanding among the crowd, and his body is light. Even if he is not a cultivator, he should be a martial artist. If he is determined to get this embroidered ball, then the people next to him have no chance of winning at all.”

Everyone waited for a while, but the lady in the attic still showed no intention of showing up. Instead, the maid looked back and forth many times, as if she was looking for something.

The people watching below began to get impatient.

Shouting: "Are you going to throw it again?"

As soon as this person shouted, someone nearby began to echo: "We all came here to congratulate you happily. If you don't show up, you will spoil the mood of all of us."

Gradually, some people who could not wait any longer left, and Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi, who were watching from the back, were able to squeeze to the front.

The two of them haven't even stood still yet.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked very wealthy walked over. He turned the jade ring on his thumb and looked at the two young men from Yunshen.

Then he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let them in!"

Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi: “???!!!”

Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, they were carried inside by the guards in the front row.

Wei Wuxian on the tree was almost dying of laughter. He patted Lan Wangji’s thigh and said, “Lan Zhan, look, those two guys got in there while playing around.”

Lan Wangji held onto his shoulders, worried that he would fall from the ground due to such a drastic movement.

Below, Lan Sizhui quickly explained: "No, I...we just came to take a look, just like the group of people behind us..."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't be shy, I know everything."
