When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

After Wei WuXian took his time to properly deal with the evil spirit, it gradually dissipated into thin air like a puff of smoke: “Alright, I’ve dealt with that thing.”

Under the quilt on the bed, the rich businessman was still shaking.

After he confirmed again and again that the outside of the house had indeed returned to peace and there was no more unusual movement, he dared to lift the quilt tremblingly, revealing only a pair of eyes, looking around vigilantly.

When the rich businessman's eyes met Wei Wuxian's, he didn't see anything else, so he was completely relieved.

The rich businessman pulled off the quilt and jumped off the bed barefoot. He quickly walked to Wei Wuxian and held his hands tightly, bowing and thanking him repeatedly: "Thank you very much, Great Immortal! Thank you very much for getting rid of this evil for me! It's all thanks to you, otherwise I would be tortured by this monster day and night..."

The rich businessman said a lot of words of thanks and promised to give a large amount of silver as a reward.

After leaving the rich businessman's room, they walked a few steps outside when Lan Jingyi suddenly stopped and asked, "Senior Wei, is this matter resolved just like that?"

Wei WuXian stopped and looked back at him: "What else?"

Lan Jingyi stared at the seal on his palm that had never moved and said, "The formation we set up in this house has not been triggered by this evil spirit at all."

"Obviously, this evil spirit is not of high level. It would be discovered if it stepped into this formation. But the Yin spirit was able to come in silently..."

Lan Jingyi became more and more confused as he spoke: "I always feel that things shouldn't be like this."

Wei WuXian patted his shoulder and said in a serious tone: “Before you act, you must pay attention to every detail. Just like just now, the noise made by a cat attracted all of you. If I wasn’t here this time, the rich businessman’s life might be in danger.”

Lan Jingyi said: "What Senior Wei said is true. We did not make a perfect response plan beforehand, but..."

Wei WuXian asked, “But what?”

Lan Jingyi continued, "But I found that the evil spirit doesn't seem to have the ability to harm people. Otherwise, with its ability to come and go freely and elusive, it is estimated that the rich businessman Zhao would have died before we arrived."

Wei WuXian praised: “You are very observant in this regard.”

Lan Jingyi smiled faintly and said, "So, Senior Wei, is this really over?"

Wei WuXian asked back, “What do you think?”

Lan Jingyi said: "I think there must be something else going on, or the rich businessman didn't tell us the truth."

In response to this, Wei WuXian sighed and said, “There are many things in this world that we may not be able to control. We are just immortal cultivators, and exorcising evil spirits is our duty, but there are other things besides exorcising evil spirits.”

Lan Jingyi was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Wei WuXian rubbed his head and said, “You will know what it is in a moment. Also, the formation was set up well today, but other parts need to be improved.”

After saying this, Wei Wuxian turned and left, leaving several Lan family disciples and Lan Jingyi looking at each other in bewilderment.

It was already very late at night, and Wei Wuxian should have gone back to rest after leaving.

But Wei Wuxian did not go back to his room to rest. Instead, as if he had noticed something, he turned around and jumped onto the roof.

In the wealthy businessman's house, a dark shadow lurked quietly in the darkness, observing all the movements around it.

Just as Wei Wuxian's eyes swept over, the black shadow appeared before him as if it could not escape.

The man in black realized that his actions were exposed and turned around and ran away without hesitation.

How could Wei Wuxian let him go so easily? He immediately started chasing him.

They flew across the houses in the town at a rapid speed, like two streaks of lightning.

However, what was surprising was that this person seemed to know Wei Wuxian's habits very well.

Even though Wei WuXian's cultivation was far superior to his, he always managed to escape easily whenever Wei WuXian was about to catch him.

As the chase continued, the man brought him directly to the forest closest to the town.

The man in black seemed to slow down his pace of escape as he entered the forest. This time, Wei Wuxian caught up with him and blocked his way.

The man in black chuckled, and before Wei Wuxian could say anything, he drew the sword from his waist and attacked quickly.

Wei WuXian immediately raised his sword and rushed forward, the weapons collided, making a hard and crisp sound.

The two began a fierce fight.

But during the fight, every move of the two men was extremely similar.

However, after more than ten moves, the black-clothed man's sword was knocked to the ground, and Wei Wuxian grabbed the man's hands and shoulders.

The man struggled hard but couldn't get free.

Wei WuXian said: “You lose.”

The man in black said, "Yes, I lost." There was a smile in his voice.

Wei WuXian let him go and said, “It’s been nearly a year since we last met, and your skills have improved a lot.”

"Xue Yang."

The black man in front of him took off the mask on his face when he saw that he was exposed, revealing a smiling face with tiger teeth underneath:

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Xian. Ah Yang is really flattered."

Wei WuXian picked up the sword that had been knocked down, handed it to him and said, “You’re talking nonsense again.”

Xue Yang took the sword and put it back into its sheath, then he approached Wei Wuxian with a smile on his face: "We don't see each other once a year, and now that we finally meet, it would be a shame if we didn't say a few words to each other."

When Xue Yang spoke, there was a smile on his face and his tone was much softer, giving people the feeling that he was still the same little boy as before.

Wei WuXian tapped his forehead with his finger and said, “You are almost 30 years old, how come you are still the same as when you were little?”

Even though Wei Wuxian said this to him, he was actually still the same. He loved to have fun with the younger generations of the Lan family and Jin Ling, as if he would never grow up.

It's just that now when he addresses others as brother, his tone of voice carries a bit of the tone of a younger elder.

Xue Yang said: "How could that be? I am not even 30 years old. Brother Xian, I am still young."

Xue Yang always had a smile on his face when he spoke. He had a pair of fangs, a bit of cuteness in his bad attitude, and he always looked like a teenager.

Wei WuXian couldn't help laughing. To be honest, he had taken care of many children, big and small, but he was definitely the only one among them who liked to act like a spoiled brat as much as Xue Yang.

Wen Yuan has been the most mature and steady since childhood. Although he is not as strict as Lan Wangji who has been like a little adult since childhood, he is also well-behaved and does what he is told. He is a good and obedient child.

Although Wei Wuxian didn’t know how Lan Jingyi, the child, grew up to be fifteen or sixteen, seven or eight years old with such a lively personality under the family education of the Gusu Lan Clan before he went back in time.

But at this time, Lan Jingyi was the one Wei Wuxian had watched grow up from a little kid.

As for Lan Jingyi, he was like the radish with two extra legs among a group of straight-growing radishes of the Gusu Lan family.

Obviously, each person has his own hole, but because he has two legs, he never stays contentedly in his hole. Instead, he jumps out of his hole and runs around.
