When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

After a while, Wei Wuxian hadn't completely come out of the scene just now. The surroundings changed rapidly and he saw the scene below.

In the corridor between the two houses, two teenagers of about seventeen or eighteen years old were dressed in shabby clothes. Their hair, which was usually neatly tied, was now extremely messy, and their clothes and shoes were covered with dirt and bloodstains.

Wei Ying nervously checked the surroundings to make sure there was no one around before saying, "Jiang Cheng, you stay here first. I'll go buy some dry food."

Jiang Cheng didn't move or speak, he was as dumb as a puppet.

Wei Ying reminded him again with concern: "Don't run around. We still have to go find Senior Sister. She's still waiting for us there."

Even though Jiang Cheng didn't react at all, Wei Ying still reminded him again and again before leaving with concern.

After Wei Ying left, Jiang Cheng was still sitting there as before, looking ahead with confused and dull eyes, as if he had experienced something unbearable.

Jiang Cheng sat there for a long while, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of him on the right. Jiang Cheng's lifeless eyes brightened up instantly after a quick glance, and when he looked closely he saw that a group of Wen family cultivators were coming in this direction. Seeing this, he hurriedly found a place to hide.

Everything that happened at this time made Wei Wuxian see the situation clearly. If he guessed correctly, this was the day when Jiang Cheng's golden core was transformed by Wen Zhuliu, and it was also the beginning of his journey to the treacherous path of no return.

The Wen family's group of cultivators had already passed by the place where Jiang Cheng was, but did not notice him.

Wei Wuxian also felt relieved.

However, from Jiang Cheng's current angle, he could just see Wei Ying who was about to come back from buying dry food at the corner ahead.

In an instant, Wei Wuxian's heart, which had just been at ease, was lifted up again. He had a bad premonition that something was about to burst out. Before he could react, just when the Wen family cultivator was about to hit little Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng rushed out like an arrow.

Wei WuXian shouted in shock: “Jiang Cheng!!!”

This was an illusion, and everything here had already happened. Even if Wei Wuxian was anxious or shouted loudly, no one would be stopped by him.

At the critical moment, just when the Wen family cultivator was about to encounter little Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng caused a commotion here, which even attracted the team of cultivators who were about to see little Wei Ying.

Wei Ying is safe!!!

Wei Ying is safe!!! Wei Wuxian’s eyes widened in disbelief. Everything that happened before him was unbelievable to him. It turned out that the person who lured the Wen family’s group of cultivators away was Jiang Cheng.

It turned out that he was captured because Jiang Cheng helped him lure the Wen family away! That’s why his golden elixir was destroyed!!

Wei Wuxian's body slid weakly and he squatted on the ground. When Huan Yao tried to help him, he was avoided by him.

The fact of what was happening before his eyes was like a bolt from the blue to him. He didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

Wei WuXian muttered dully, “Why didn’t Jiang Cheng tell me…why didn’t he tell me…”

At this moment, the tears in Wei Wuxian's eyes that he had tried so hard to hold back could no longer be held back.

He just felt his chest was blocked and his breathing became rapid. He took a deep breath and choked up, "So that's how it is. I told him not to run away, but he ran away anyway. It turns out that the reason he ran away was to help me divert the pursuit..."

"But why didn't he tell me? If he told me... I... I..."

Wei WuXian was unable to say the rest of the words. After all, what was the point of saying these things now? They were already in the past. Even if he knew, it would not change any facts.

Seeing Wei WuXian like this, HuanYao said weakly, “Didn’t you also not tell him when you changed the elixir for him?”

Wei WuXian said in a hoarse voice: “It’s different.”

Huan Yao: "Why is it different?"

Wei WuXian said, “My life was saved by Uncle Jiang. If it weren’t for Uncle Jiang, I would never have had the chance to form a golden elixir. Giving the golden elixir to Jiang Cheng was a last-ditch trust from Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu. It was the most correct and unquestionable thing I have ever done.”

It was thought that Jiang Cheng was captured and his golden elixir was dissolved because he insisted on returning to Lotus Pier to retrieve the bodies of Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu, but the truth was that he was dissolved to help him divert the pursuers.

Jiang Cheng would not talk about this matter, just like he would not tell him the truth about the pill exchange in the first place.

When Jiang Cheng ran out to divert the pursuers, he was already prepared to die, but he never expected that he would encounter the Dan, which was even more unacceptable than death.

When Wei Wuxian was changing the elixir, Wen Qing told him that he only had a 50% chance of success. If he succeeded, Jiang Cheng would get the golden elixir again. If he failed, both of them would become useless.

Despite such a desperate gamble, Wei Wuxian still chose to change without hesitation.

In fact, Wei Wuxian thought this way at that time. His life was saved by Uncle Jiang. If it weren’t for Uncle Jiang, he didn’t know whether he could survive that cold winter. The pain of being snatched from the mouth of a vicious dog was already unbearable for him, and it left him with a huge psychological trauma.

Wei Wuxian felt that he was lucky enough to have lived such a colorful life for so many years, and the worst that could happen was that he could exchange one for his own life.

There are more people who know about Wei Wuxian's pill exchange than Jiang Cheng. So many years have passed, and Wei Wuxian didn't say anything, but there are always insiders who can't stand what happened between the two of them and help him tell it. Jiang Cheng is different, as he is the only one who knows the reason why he changed the pill.

Jiang Cheng would never tell you about this, but even if you asked, he wouldn't tell you. If it weren't for this incident, Wei Wuxian probably would never know the truth of this matter.

He clenched his fist and smashed it against the wall beside him, but because his body was intangible, he hit nothing.

Wei WuXian was shaking with anger and wanted to hit himself with a hammer in anger, but was stopped by the Illusion Demon: “Stop, stop, stop! We have more important things to do. Besides, these things are long gone. If there is anything, we can talk about it after Sect Master Jiang wakes up. Sect Master Jiang is still waiting for us in the depths of the illusion.”

Wei WuXian gritted his teeth and wiped away the tears from his eyes with his sleeve, then nodded: "Yes, Jiang Cheng is still waiting for me to save him."

The phantom demon took the opportunity to cast a spell and entered the next scene. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings changed suddenly, and the lighting went from bright to dark. Wei Wuxian only felt that his eyes were filled with darkness and he could not see anything. After a while, he got used to the darkness a little, and he saw a hint of light in his eyes.

Through the window, Wei Wuxian could see that it was already dark outside. The moonlight shone through the treetops onto the wooden floor, leaving mottled reflections that swayed gently in the breeze.

The room was eerily quiet. Wei Wuxian stood up and walked back and forth. The sound of his light footsteps became louder in the empty room. Wei Wuxian groped his way bit by bit to find Jiang Cheng.
