When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes, his emotions unclear, and said nothing.

Jiang Fengmian looked at the people below, then his gaze fell on Wei Wuxian.

Wei WuXian immediately stepped forward to express his opinion: “Uncle Jiang, in my opinion, it might not be appropriate to announce this at the birthday banquet tomorrow.”

Jiang Fengmian asked: "What's wrong?"

Wei WuXian said, “You are the host of Uncle Jiang’s birthday banquet tomorrow. If we make this known now, wouldn’t it be a bit of a distraction?”

Jiang Fengmian doesn't care about this.

At the right time, Jin Zixuan also echoed: "My son-in-law also thinks it's inappropriate."

Because it was just an ordinary birthday party, not a 60th birthday or something like that, and the birthday party was only held among family members, and not many people from various aristocratic families attended.

As one of the five great families, the Yunmeng Jiang family, for such an important event as the replacement of the head of the family, is naturally worthy of inviting all the members of the family to witness it.

If we make a hasty announcement tomorrow, it would not seem so solemn.

After Jin Zixuan's reminder, everyone discussed and decided to postpone the announcement of the new head of the family to next month.

After all, it was Yunmeng Jiang's turn to host the forum at that time. Choosing this occasion to make the official announcement not only gave them ample time and a strong sense of ceremony, but it would not be too late either.

……

The brief discussion ended quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was already evening. It had been a whole afternoon since Wei Wuxian returned to Lotus Pier, and he hadn't been able to say a complete sentence to Jiang Cheng.

He still has something to ask Jiang Cheng.

In the room, Wei Wuxian talked to Lan Wangji and then went out. He was going to find Jiang Cheng.

But what was strange was that Wei Wuxian went to almost all the places in Lotus Pier where he knew Jiang Cheng might stay.

But he still didn't see Jiang Cheng.

Not only that, Wei Wuxian, who had just returned from a tour of the Lotus Pier, waited in Jiang Cheng's room for a while.

It was extremely dark. Wei Wuxian sat at the table, leaning back in his chair, his chin propped up, tapping the table with his fingers from time to time, and looking at the flickering candlelight thoughtfully.

I don’t know how much time has passed. Wei Wuxian is getting tired of waiting, but Jiang Cheng still hasn’t come back.

Finally, seeing that he could not wait any longer, Wei WuXian stood up, stretched, yawned loudly, and went back to his room.

On the second day, Jiang Fengmian's birthday banquet began. Just as he said yesterday, the people who came were basically Jiang Fengmian's good friends. After all, it was just an ordinary birthday party, so he didn't send invitations to other families.

Everyone was relaxed and drank together.

This day was extremely lively.

During the banquet, the bored Wei Wuxian looked at Jiang Cheng several times and found that he was busy and at ease, moving around Jiang Fengmian's old subordinates and old friends.

Wei Wuxian held his chin up to his hand, staring blankly at what was happening over there.

Wei Wuxian's quietness caught Lan Wangji's attention from the beginning.

Seeing that he showed no sign of coming back to his senses, Lan Wangji couldn’t help but touch him: “What are you thinking about?”

Wei Wuxian reluctantly picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the teacup on Lan Wangji's table and said, "It shouldn't be an illusion. Jiang Cheng... seems to not want to pay attention to me anymore."

Lan Wangji picked up the teacup on the table that Wei Wuxian had just touched, drank from it, and said, "He remembered."

Wei WuXian turned his head to look at him: “You noticed it too.”

Lan Wangji shook his head slightly: "I can't tell."

Wei WuXian asked curiously, “What is that?”

Lan Wangji replied expressionlessly: "Intuition."

The change in one person's attitude towards another person is like the fragrance of flowers in the wind, delicate and real, and can be detected with just a sniff.

Although Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng rarely communicated, the aura emanating from Jiang Cheng was like an invisible force, and the glances he cast at him inadvertently had subtle changes, which were very different from the past.

Lan Wangji could feel this difference immediately.

What's more, Lan Wangji also read everything about Bei Ming, everything Wei Wuxian did, and all the decisions he made from that soul.

Jiang Cheng knew everything he saw and knew.

After listening to Lan Wangji's response, Wei Wuxian still stared at where Jiang Cheng was for a long time, as if he wanted to understand Jiang Cheng's inner waves through that space.

However, he eventually withdrew his gaze and sighed softly, "Forget it. If he doesn't want to pay attention to me, it's useless for me to look for him no matter how much I try."

Lan Wangji said nothing.

Wei Wuxian lay on his seat, eating a few mouthfuls of food on the table, then looked up and said vaguely, "Lan Zhan, I'm going to go find Jin Ling. I found the evergreen tree that Jin Ling gave to Uncle Jiang today. It looks quite unique. I'm going to ask him where he got it."

Lan Wangji nodded.

Wei Wuxian stood up from his seat, moved between several seats, and sat down next to Jin Ling.

The two people over there soon started gesticulating and chatting.

Lan Wangji stared at Wei Wuxian silently for a moment. Just as he withdrew his gaze and looked forward, his eyes met Jiang Cheng's.

.........

One month later.

The Lotus Pavilion's symposium was held as scheduled.

The so-called Qingtanhui is nothing more than a money-burning activity, inviting major families to gather together, drink tea and chat, in order to show off the strength and talent of the family.

Of course, this is also a good time for the various families to build relationships.

Everyone in the Immortal Sect already knew that Qing Heng Jun was in seclusion, so it was normal for Lan Xichen to participate on his behalf.

The situation changes and people come and go.

At this moment, almost all the heads of the noble families present were young and capable people of the new generation.

It is the world that belongs to the new generation of young people.

Soon, after some pleasantries, Jiang Fengmian directly announced Jiang Cheng's appointment as the head of the family without any delay.

After the ceremony, Jiang Cheng took the position of patriarch in the presence of all the noble families.

The Qingtanhui was packed with guests, and each session would last for several hours.

There was singing and dancing, and drinking and toasting.

After Wei WuXian finished his socializing, he finally had some peace and quiet.

After the people around him dispersed, Wei Wuxian sat in his seat and didn't want to move at all.

However, after he had some free time, Wei Wuxian felt that he had too much free time.

I can't sit still when I'm busy, and I can't sit still when I'm idle.

Wei Wuxian played with the cup and chopsticks in his hands, and then, as if no one was around, he leaned sideways on Lan Wangji's shoulder.

Lan Wangji tilted his head slightly to look at him: "Tired?"

Wei WuXian shook his head: “Just sitting here with nothing to do, feeling a bit bored.”

As he said this, he picked up the fingers that Lan Wangji had placed on his leg in a proper manner, held them in his palm and began to fiddle with them.
