When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

‘Papa pa pa’

Accompanied by a crisp whipping sound, water splashed everywhere in the area where Xue Yang whipped the branch.

After discovering Xue Yang, Wei Wuxian did not deliberately slow down his footsteps, but approached him normally.

When Xue Yang heard the voice, the tips of his ears twitched. He knew that the person behind him was looking for him, and instinctively wanted to turn around to check, but he held back.

Wei Wuxian walked over and sat down next to Xue Yang.

Xue Yang glanced at the person next to him out of the corner of his eye, but still did not react.

Wei WuXian asked knowingly, “Didn’t you say you were going to take care of something? Why are you sitting by the river?”

Xue Yang said without looking away: "Fishing, I want to eat grilled fish tonight."

The words he said sounded a bit like he was angry and throwing a tantrum. Wei WuXian glanced at the branch in his hand and said, “So you are now Jiang Taigong fishing?”

The other end of the branch in Xue Yang's hand could just touch the water surface, and he moved up and down on the water surface bit by bit.

Xue Yang said expressionlessly: "Let's see if there are really stupid fish in this world that would be attracted by such a branch."

In response, Wei WuXian poked his temple with his finger and said, "You are fishing with a tree like this. Don't just call it a fool fish. I think you are a fool."

Xue Yang snorted softly but said nothing.

After all, he is only in his teens, and teenagers are not very big, so he is still a child.

Wei WuXian said in a coaxing tone, “What’s wrong? Are you angry with me because I know about your situation and told your Taoist priest about it?”

Xue Yang replied concisely: "No."

Obviously, he was angry, but he was still stubborn. Wei WuXian shook his head helplessly and said, "Regarding what happened just now, I still need to explain. After you said those words, I didn't have the chance to give you a reply before you left. So now, I want to tell you what I think."

"I already knew about Chang Ping's situation a year ago. I discovered it after I dealt with the matter of Chang Ping's illegitimate child."

"As for why I suddenly met you here, it was just a coincidence."

"Because I have something to do and need to go back to Lotus Pier, I just happened to run into you guys here. I definitely didn't come here on purpose to report you to Junior Master."

"If he had this intention, he would have fought a long time ago. Besides, how long have we known each other? You and Junior Uncle have only been traveling for a little over a year. How can you put yourself on his side? Think about it, if he wants to tell tales, shouldn't he tell on me?"

Xue Yang lowered his head and picked at the bark on the branch in his hand.

He actually didn't think there was anything wrong with Wei Wuxian knowing about his affairs and telling Xiao Xingchen what he had done.

After all, he was the one who did it, and he is not the kind of person who dares to do something but not to take responsibility for it.

But he suddenly realized that Wei Wuxian and Xiao Xingchen already knew everything he had done, and for a moment he didn't know how to face it.

Seeing that he was still silent, Wei WuXian continued, “As for bringing this up with Junior Master at this time, it was Junior Master who asked me first.”

Wei WuXian paused, then continued, “Perhaps you haven’t noticed, and your uncle hasn’t told you about it, or asked you about it, but he has actually guessed about this matter.”

"And this speculation can be traced back several years."

"Think about it, it's been such a long time, and now you're staying together and going to various places. If something happens along the way, and it involves this unresolved matter, causing unnecessary trouble, then when you want to explain it, think about it, will anyone still want to listen?"

Wei Wuxian's eyes fell on Xu Yang, as if he could see through his true inner thoughts through his silent and indifferent appearance that he tried hard to maintain.

Wei Wuxian's words, his attitude and position were all like those of a serious parent:

"I can see that you like being around Junior Master. Junior Master is a righteous man, with a character as gentle as a reed and a heart as solid as a rock. Telling him about this incident will deepen his understanding of you."

"Given Junior Master's character, you should have heard what he said just now. He said that you acted with reason and that everyone has a chance to start over. Besides, you haven't killed anyone except Chang Ping."

"Although the actions were a bit extreme, there is room for maneuver."

After hearing these words, Xue Yang's wandering gaze gradually settled down, and he raised his head. He was stunned and said, "So..."

Wei WuXian had a gentle smile on his face. “So, as long as you don’t kill innocent people, Junior Master and I don’t think it’s bad for you to vent your anger for your younger self. Even if you have a dark side because of what happened when you were younger, it doesn’t mean that the dark side can’t be eliminated.”

Everything Wei Wuxian said hit the mark exactly as Xue Yang wanted.

But when he heard the word "dark side" and heard Wei Wuxian say this word, Xue Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Xue Yang increasingly felt as if he had no way to hide in front of Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian was like a mirror; when he stood in front of him, he could reflect everything hidden deep in his heart in just a moment.

However, Xue Yang felt relieved when he saw that Wei WuXian just said these things and didn't care, didn't emphasize them, and didn't show any meaningful expression or tone.

This feeling suddenly gave Xue Yang a feeling that even if Wei Wuxian knew everything about him, knew all the bad factors in his heart, he would still speak to him earnestly and with concern.

As he spoke, Wei WuXian pulled out a silver bell from his Qiankun bag: “This is what you gave me when we separated. I have kept it in my Qiankun bag.”

The silver bell itself represents the identity of a disciple of the Jiang family. Since Xue Yang left the Yunmeng Jiang family, the silver bell is considered invalid.

Wei Wuxian pressed the silver bell into Xue Yang's hand and said, "I have been calling you 'Brother Xian' for so many years, but I have never said anything to you. If you are willing, I will accept the title of 'Brother Xian'."

"Although Yin Ling cannot lead the Jiang family, she can represent me. With this thing, from now on, no matter what happens to you, you can find me at Lotus Pier or Cloud Recesses without any hindrance."

"From now on, I am your brother. Of course, if there is someone you like and want to marry one day, I will definitely prepare a betrothal gift for you."

Wei Wuxian has always been nice to Xue Yang, but this kindness is not narrow-minded, because Wei Wuxian is nice to everyone.

But there is a difference between 'good' and 'good'.

What Wei Wuxian said next really shocked Xue Yang.

It is sincere and warm, and it is words that should be treated as a family member.

Xue Yang is an orphan of unknown origin. He is alone and has no relatives in the world.

His growth trajectory was deeply influenced by Wei Wuxian, and it can be said that it was gradually shaped under the latter's guidance.

Ever since he was brought back by Wei Wuxian, treated others kindly and sincerely, Xue Yang has already established such a relationship with Wei Wuxian in his heart.

And now this relationship seems to have been answered accordingly.
