When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

Wei WuXian withdrew his gaze from the people walking back and forth at the door and said, “Nothing. I’m not looking for her, I can look for you too. I just wanted to come and see you. It’s been a long time since we last met. I remember I told you several times before that you could come to our Lotus Pier as a guest when you are free. How come you never came once?”

“I…” Wen Ning scratched his head, opening and closing his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but didn’t dare.

Wei WuXian joked, “Why are you so hesitant? Is it because your sister doesn’t allow you to come and play with me?”

Wen Ning opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock: "Master Wei, you are so amazing!"

… …He actually guessed it right. Wei WuXian said with some embarrassment: “Why didn’t your sister let you come and play with me? Could it be that she is still afraid that I will lead you astray?”

Wen Ning said apologetically, "No, Master Wei, I have never traveled far away by myself. My sister is just worried that I would cause trouble to you... but..."

“Okay, don’t just say that.” Wei WuXian stood up, put one hand on his shoulder and said, “Since your sister doesn’t allow you to come to me, then I can come to you. You can take me and my junior master to your Qishan market and go wherever is fun.”

Wen Ning looked at his winnowing basket, feeling a bit embarrassed as he also had to help his sister dry the herbs.

Wei WuXian saw what he was thinking and pushed him out: “This herb won’t go bad if it’s not exposed to the sun for a day.”

Xiao Xingchen followed.

The three of them left the Nevernight City and came to a bustling market. Wei Wuxian looked around. If it was just a simple stroll like this, it would be fine, except that there were two more people.

Wei WuXian turned around and looked at the two Wen disciples who were following closely behind him and asked, “Are you planning to follow us all the way?”

The man bowed and said, "Master Wen told us that Master Qionglin is not in good health, so we must follow him wherever he goes."

Wei WuXian asked, “Master Wen?”

Wen Ning explained in a low voice: "My sister is honored as the Holy Hand Physician, and they all call her Master Wen."

Wei WuXian let out an "Oh" and punched Wen Ning's chest with his fist. The sound of his fist hitting the firm flesh was "bang bang".

The people around were a little confused.

The two blows made Wen Ning want to cough out of his throat, but before he opened his mouth to cough, Wei Wuxian gave him a look and made him hold it back.

Wei WuXian patted Wen Ning on the shoulder and said, “Is he still in poor health? He’s as strong as a wall. Don’t follow him, or people will think he’s a three-year-old kid. He’ll have to be watched even when he walks.”

"This..." The two disciples looked at each other.

Wei WuXian said it again: “So stop following me.”

As Wei WuXian spoke, he embraced the two of them and continued walking forward. He heard footsteps behind them, and the two people were still following them.

Wei Wuxian turned his head away in annoyance: "We are here to have fun. You two are following us like ghosts. We can't have fun. Besides, who am I, Wei Wuxian? I am no more useful than you two when encountering problems. You, Master Qionglin, will only eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks if you follow me."

Seeing that they were still trying to follow him, Wei WuXian took a step forward to scare them, “If you follow me again, be careful to make me angry. I’ll lie on the ground and blackmail your Master Wen.”

"..."

"..."

"..."

Although Wei Wuxian's words were somewhat hilariously threatening, those people really did not follow him after he said it.

The three of them were finally able to take a breath.

Qishan is a city that never sleeps. It has a vast territory, a large population, and a prosperous economy. This means both financial strength and military power.

The Qishan Wen Clan itself is the most top-notch among the five great families in terms of disciples, number of people, land, and magical artifacts.

Even though Wen Ruohan was no longer with us, Wei Wuxian could see from today's inspections that the Wen family's operations had been catching up with their past in recent years.

Wei WuXian first took the two of them for a stroll, giving the people who were still following them secretly the impression that they were indeed just out shopping and having fun.

After they were tired from shopping, Wei Wuxian offered to take them out for dinner.

I randomly picked a restaurant that looked relatively grand and walked in, then into a private room on the second floor, which was well soundproofed.

Wei Wuxian ordered a few dishes, and then asked Xiao Xingchen and Wen Ning about their preferences.

After all the ordered food was served, Wei WuXian began to get to the real purpose of his visit.

He asked casually, "Wen Ning, were those two people hired specifically to monitor you?"

"It's not just those two people. You saw almost everyone in your house." Xiao Xingchen said, "But they don't seem to be monitoring only Master Wen..."

Wei Wuxian knew what Xiao Xingchen meant, but it was better for him to restrain himself in front of Wen Ning.

Wen Ning was confused and said, "These people were arranged by my sister."

Wen Qing naturally has her own intentions in doing whatever she does. Since Wen Ning's matter was arranged by Wen Qing, there won't be any problem.

Wei WuXian continued: “Did your sister tell you something, like asking you to be careful or something?”

Wen Ning said as he ate his food, "My sister always tells me to be careful, but she always treats me like a child and thinks I can't take care of myself."

Wen Ning was in a very good protected state, and everything he did was arranged by Wen Qing. If Wei Wuxian wanted to ask something useful, he still had to find Wen Qing.

Wei WuXian said, “I came here because I have something to discuss with your sister. Did your sister tell me what she is doing and when she will be back?”

Wen Ning said, "It seems like the sect leader has assigned him a mission."

Wei WuXian sat up straight abruptly: "What mission?"

Wen Ning said, "I don't know. My sister doesn't allow me to know so much."

Wen Ning's answer made Wei Wuxian collapse back onto the stool like a deflated ball.

Wen Ning knew nothing, which only meant one thing: Wen Qing was indeed doing something, and this matter could not be spread outside.

I don't want to involve Wen Ning in this.

After finishing their meal, the three of them strolled around the street for a while and only went back when night fell.

Those who were secretly monitoring them also followed them back.

Wen Ning had someone prepare rooms for Wei Wuxian and Xiao Xingchen.

By this time it was completely dark.

Wei Wuxian took out a pair of scissors and talisman paper from the room and drew a little man with a pen.

He didn't get any useful information today. There were many people watching outside and his movements were restricted. He could only use the paper-cut avatar to go out and investigate.

After cutting out the thumb-sized figurine, Wei Wuxian added eyes to it.

Just as he was about to cast a spell to give it consciousness, the door of the room was knocked. Wei Wuxian hid the paper man in his sleeve and stood up to open the door.
