When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

At that time, he was helping Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan to establish a sect that was different from the aristocratic families, recruited talents widely, and did not prioritize blood ties.

He should be visiting around to see if he can meet some talented people.

The early stages of establishing a sect were extremely difficult.

Mansions, money, personnel, etc., they are all wandering Taoists, sleeping in the open air is basically common for them, and they do not have any of the prerequisites.

When he met them, Wei Wuxian wondered if he could help them or something.

But they were all rejected by Xiao Xingchen and the others. They wanted to start from scratch, believing that there would definitely be a solution no matter how difficult it was.

During that time together, Wei Wuxian asked Xiao Xingchen about Xue Yang's recent situation over the past year.

For some reason, the topic suddenly turned to what happened to the Chang family in Liyang back then.

Xiao Xingchen told Wei Wuxian that Xue Yang once told him a story about a little boy who liked to eat candy.

But when the Yueyang incident was resolved, Xiao Xingchen followed Wei Wuxian to Qishan.

When they returned, Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji had already dealt with the matter in Liyang, but Xiao Xingchen did not ask too many questions about how they handled it.

Now he asked Wei Wuxian this question just to confirm his guess from that year.

As for Xiao Xingchen's questions, Wei Wuxian knew that since he could ask these questions, he already had the answers in his heart.

Then you might as well tell him the real thing, so that two people who spend every day together will stop being suspicious of each other.

But before that, Wei Wuxian still asked why Xiao Xingchen suddenly asked him these questions.

And the answer Wei Wuxian got was.

"In the past year, Xue Yang's behavior has been a little reckless, but he is also just. If you want to understand a person, you shouldn't just look at the present, you should also look at the past."

After receiving Xiao Xingchen's reply, Wei Wuxian directly told him briefly the truth of what happened that year.

After Wei Wuxian finished speaking, Xiao Xingchen fell into deep thought.

Wei WuXian asked, “What does Junior Master think of what Xue Yang did?”

After Xiao Xingchen pondered for a while, he said: "It is human nature to seek revenge, but Xue Yang's actions were indeed inappropriate."

Xue Yang used the Wen family to take Chang Ping's life. Although he did not do it himself, it was better than taking action.

Although taking someone's life by cutting off a finger was a bit radical, it was indeed Chang Ping who took the lead in doing evil.

Of course, if measured according to certain rules, Xue Yang should be judged accordingly because he destroyed a person's name in order to avenge his severed finger.

Xiao Xingchen said this in response: "There is a cause and an effect, and there are reasons and reasons for doing things. People also have the right to change their ways and become good again."

During this year, Xue Yang traveled around with Xiao Xingchen and the others and saved quite a few people. If one were to say that his merits and demerits offset each other, the fact that Xue Yang saved so many lives could completely offset the bad things he did.

But human life is priceless, so Xiao Xingchen decided that he was willing to take care of Xue Yang.

Instead of putting him in jail or doing something else, it would be better to keep him by his side. Xiao Xingchen can watch his every move and take him with him to save people.

Xiao Xingchen said: "Since he is willing to follow me, I will definitely look after him."

Xue Yang was not around when Wei Wuxian was discussing these things with Xiao Xingchen, but after the discussion, he was surprised to find that Xue Yang was actually listening not far away, and he didn't know when he came over.

Wei WuXian said, “You heard it all.”

Xue Yang uttered a soft "hmm", making it impossible to tell what tone he was using.

The three of them stared at each other for a long time before Xue Yang spoke: "Brother Xian is really omnipotent. He knows everything about me so clearly. No wonder I have always felt that Brother Xian knows me very well. I didn't expect it to be true."

Xue Yang spoke these words in a casual and relaxed manner, sounding as if he didn't take them to heart.

Before Wei Wuxian could make any comment, Xue Yang continued:

"When did Brother Xian know about these things? Did he come to me this time just to tell the Taoist priest about this matter and want him to be more careful about me?"

Wei WuXian opened his mouth to retort, but Xue Yang always spoke before him:

"So, Brother Xian made this trip because he thinks I am a bad person and unforgivable for holding a grudge against me for having my finger severed for so many years?"

Before Wei Wuxian could say anything, Xue Yang had already defined the situation based on his own understanding.

Wei Wuxian moved his mouth and finally waited for Xue Yang to stop talking, but he was suddenly at a loss for words and didn’t know where to start.

At the same time, Xiao Xingchen responded before him: "I don't think so."

"No?" Xue Yang smiled: "Who is the Taoist priest going to mess with? When you just said you had high hopes for me, how did you mean you had high hopes for me?"

"Are you going to tie me up with a rope?"

Xiao Xingchen said: "I didn't think so."

Xue Yang curled the corners of his mouth with a fake smile.

Obviously, Xiao Xingchen's straightforward explanation did not have any effect.

Xue Yang seemed to have already made up his mind. He no longer cared about what Wei Wuxian and Xiao Xingchen had to say. He turned around and said, "I still have some things to deal with. I'll be out first."

After saying that, he took two steps and then tilted his head slightly and said, "I will come back, I won't leave."

His last words sounded like a reassurance from someone who had done something bad.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yang disappeared from the spot.

Wei Wuxian and Xiao Xingchen were left standing there staring at each other.

Wei WuXian asked, “Maybe Xue Yang misunderstood something.”

Xiao Xingchen nodded: "I'll go and explain it to him."

“Forget it.” Wei WuXian held him back and said, “I was the one who said this, and I’m probably the one who caused the biggest misunderstanding. If there’s anything, I’d better be the one to say it.”

Xiao Xingchen thought about it and nodded.

This time, Wei Wuxian came here by himself to meet a few people. He had to go back to Lotus Pier to do some things, and Lan Wangji was busy in the Cloud Recesses and couldn't spare the time to accompany him back.

So Wei Wuxian returned to Lotus Pier alone, and met Xue Yang and others on the way.

In a wide open field in the suburbs, Wei Wuxian searched for a long time before he finally saw Xue Yang by a stream, whipping the water with a branch.
