When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

Standing outside was Xiao Xingchen.

Wei WuXian welcomed him in, and the two of them sat at the table: "Junior Master, why did you come to see me so late?"

Looking at Wei Wuxian's actions and the things he had prepared on his desk, Xiao Xingchen paused and asked, "Are you going to take action?"

On the table was the talisman that Wei Wuxian had just taken out, as well as the remaining scraps of paper and scissors. Xiao Xingchen could tell his intentions just by looking at these things, which made Wei Wuxian slightly surprised. At the same time, he quietly set up a soundproofing ban around him.

Xiao Xingchen noticed his actions but didn't say anything. He said bluntly, "I guess you didn't come to Qishan just to reminisce about the past with Mr. and Miss Wen."

Wei WuXian said: “Uncle Junior Master…”

"Don't be nervous." Xiao Xingchen said, "During the day, you asked Master Wen so many questions in a veiled way, but I couldn't hear any useful information from his answers."

"Although I have never been involved in any dispute among your five great families, I am involved in the investigation of this Chang residence after all, so I have the responsibility to take full responsibility."

Wei WuXian said, “I do need to go out.”

Xiao Xingchen pulled Wei Wuxian to sit down and said, "When the incident at Chang's residence involved the Nie family, I realized something was wrong. Now, when we were supposed to investigate the murderer at Chang's residence and find out who he was, we came to the Wen family again. So, is there some conspiracy connecting these things?"

Wei Wuxian remained silent.

Seeing the hesitation in his expression, Xiao Xingchen said, "It's okay. I just feel that the Nevernight City is heavily guarded, so I want to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Wei WuXian understood after hearing the words.

Xiao Xingchen has a heart to save the world, and Wei Wuxian can be completely trusted with his character. No matter what happens, he will definitely stand on the side of justice.

Wei Wuxian thought about it and decided to tell Xiao Xingchen what the Wen family might do next. If they really found out that the Wen family was about to take any action, the two of them could react in time and pass the message to the outside world.

Wei WuXian said, “When the former head of the Qishan Wen Clan, Wen Ruohan, was alive, he was the only one who dominated the family. He was ambitious and ruthless. Everything he did showed his family’s arrogance. He suppressed other families and I’m afraid he had the ambition to swallow up other families.”

"And all of these things ended with his sudden death. The Wen Clan has undergone a drastic change. The morale of the people has been broken, and the strength has plummeted since then. However, you have also seen today, Junior Master Uncle, the Wen Clan has a deep foundation. As long as they are willing to find out the shortcomings and pay attention to them, it will not be long before they can restore their former glory."

Xiao Xingchen pondered and said, "I have indeed heard about Wen Ruohan's past methods, but times have changed. Just because the Wen family is prosperous now, we cannot conclude that they still have such ambitions."

“Of course we can’t rely on just these.” Wei WuXian lowered his voice and said, “Junior Master, you have been hiding in the mountains with our Master. Have you ever heard about the corpse siege a few years ago?”

"I've heard of it." Xiao Xingchen said, "This matter is very powerful. The former head of the Lanling Jin family used evil methods to control the corpses to surround the city in order to seize the position of Immortal Supervisor. A wandering cultivator named 'Yuan Dao' descended from the sky and helped like a god, turning the tide."

Descending from the sky, as if assisted by God, he turned the tide...

“Uh…” Wei WuXian felt that this rumor was a bit too exaggerated. People who didn’t know him would think that he had the ability to change the world at will.

Wei WuXian still felt the need to explain himself: “…Well, Junior Master…”

Xiao Xingchen: “Hmm?”

Wei WuXian said, “I was also present at the event. The situation was not as miraculous as what was said outside. That person just used some methods to delay time until the reinforcements arrived. The follow-up work was handled by Sect Leader Nie and Ze Wu Jun. There was no such thing as ‘far away’.”

Xiao Xingchen said: "Since there are such rumors in the market, then the ability of this 'Yuan Dao' should not be underestimated. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it in this lifetime."

Wei Wuxian: “…”

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Wei WuXian quickly changed the topic of 'the long journey' and continued, "Everyone knows that what happened back then was manipulated by Jin GuangShan, but that's not true."

Xiao Xingchen asked, "Is there something else going on?"

“That’s right.” Wei WuXian said, “The main reason why so many evil corpses attacked the city was not Jin GuangShan’s doing. He was only the apparent mastermind, and the one behind the scenes pushing it was the Wen Clan.”

Xiao Xingchen said: "The Wen Clan was not mentioned in the information released that year."

Wei WuXian said, “Back then, it was Wen Chao, the second son of the Wen family, who colluded with the Jin family to create the chaos. Wen Xu probably didn’t know about it, but when it came to the final moment of handling the situation, Wen Chao was replaced by someone else and disappeared. It must be that Wen Xu rescued him after knowing about it.”

That incident caused countless casualties, but the real murderer was never brought to justice. Xiao Xingchen was shocked and asked, "Really?"

“It’s absolutely true.” Wei WuXian said, “The evil corpse cannot be controlled by just anyone. Wen RuoHan was originally practicing evil skills and became possessed. There must be some kind of thing in the secret room of their house that can control something.”

"In contrast to these things, Wen Chao, the second son of the Wen family, has not come out to see anyone since then. We have investigated everything that happened in recent years, including the giant spider that you saw with your own eyes during the hunt in Baifeng Mountain last time. The finger of blame is all pointed at the Wen family."

"They do this for a purpose. If we don't investigate it and stop it in time, I'm afraid that in the near future, the hundreds of immortal families will set off a bloody storm."

Hearing about the possibilities of the future world, Xiao Xingchen's eyes became more determined: "What are you going to do?"

Wei WuXian said, “We are being monitored from all sides by the Wen Clan. They will be watching our every move. It is impossible for us to sneak out and investigate. So, Junior Master, I need you to cooperate with me.”

Xiao Xingchen nodded.

Wei WuXian went out and asked the guard outside for two jars of wine and a few side dishes, giving the people gathered outside the impression that they were going to drink and chat tonight.

Soon those people brought up the wine and dishes. Wei WuXian took two sips and then took out the paper-cut figurine from his sleeve.

Xiao Xingchen asked: "What is this?"

Wei WuXian smiled: “It’s just a small magical tool, don’t be scared, Junior Master.”

Xiao Xingchen said: "Of course."

Wei WuXian said, “Junior Master, after I lie down, you will pretend to be drunk and ask them for sobering tea. When they are ready and bring it to you, tell them: No more, it is better to go to sleep. Let them know clearly that we are drunk and will not cause any trouble. This way, they will let down their guard against us tonight.”
