When Lan Sizhui found Jiang Cheng and asked him to take his disciples to search for Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng said: "Wei Wuxian is lost?! What a joke! He can crawl back to Yunmeng with his eyes closed, how could he be lost!!"

Lan Sizhui didn't understand the specific situation, but when he saw Han Guangjun's face showing obvious worry, he could feel that this matter was definitely not that simple.

So he said, "Sect Master Jiang, Senior Wei is very likely being held hostage."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment. Although Wei Wuxian's cunning skills were unmatched, he did not have any spiritual power at all.

If he really encounters a difficult situation, it is very likely that he will not be able to cope with it.

Jin Ling anxiously tugged at Jiang Cheng's sleeve: "Uncle, uncle! Send someone quickly! Hurry up!!"

Jiang Cheng frowned and snatched the sleeve from his hand. He glared at him and said to the eldest disciple, "Go and arrange the other people. The rest follow me."

Everyone gathered in front of the Lotus Pier gate. Jiang Cheng arranged his men: "One team to the east and one team to the west. Remember, don't let any place go."

The Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian is a legendary figure among the aristocratic families. After some events that happened in his previous life, his already famous title became even more shining among the aristocratic families.

After he came back from sacrificing his body this time, he was indeed much more low-key than before, and not many people were interested in him after seeing him sacrifice his body.

But what is worth mentioning is that there is not a single student in Lotus Pier who doesn’t know Wei Wuxian…

After everyone dispersed, Jiang Cheng walked up to the group of Lan family members, especially staring at Lan Wangji. He asked, "Wei Wuxian was looking for you everywhere this morning. What were you doing?"

Lan Wangji just glanced at him calmly without any reply.

Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng didn't have much interaction when they were young, and if it weren't for Wei Wuxian, they would have had no contact at all.

Because of those things, Lan Wangji always disliked Jiang Cheng.

This is true for him, and so is Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng tolerated Lan Wangji's sullen temper. He really wondered how Wei Wuxian could stand him. It was really unparalleled that he could be so enthusiastic about flirting with an ice cube every day.

At this moment, there was no chance of a fight between the two of them. Jiang Cheng was so angry that Lan Wangji didn't want to pay attention to him. It felt like a punch on cotton, with no place to exert force.

Huan Yao walked between the two of them to smooth things over: "This is not Han Guangjun's fault. He had more important things to do and had no choice but to leave."

Jiang Cheng asked back, "Since you had to go out, why didn't you tell him where you were going before you left? And why did you ask him to go out to find you?"

Lan Wangji didn't tell him because he was taking care of little Lan Zhan at the time. He wanted to find a way to deal with the problem himself and resolve it perfectly.

At first, Wei WuXian thought that he was angry or jealous, so no matter what the reason was, he would naturally chase him out to coax him.

Jiang Cheng became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he just yelled, "Lan Wangji, don't forget that Wei Wuxian was once a member of our Jiang family. Since he has chosen you for this life, you must treat him well. If anything happens to him, I will not let you off easily!!"

Jiang Cheng was very angry and puzzled as to why Wei Wuxian did not return to Lotus Pier but stayed with Lan Wangji after returning from being sacrificed.

If he didn't dare to come back because he had a bad relationship with himself in the previous life, then everyone in the world and even Wei Wuxian himself knew that Han Guang-jun and the Yiling Patriarch were incompatible, so why did he follow someone who was incompatible with him?

But what Jiang Cheng didn't know was that after Wei Wuxian was sacrificed, he didn't dare to look for him or Lan Wangji. He had been thinking about how he would wander around the world alone after the matter was resolved, but in the end he was forcibly taken back to the Cloud Recesses by Lan Wangji.

But these are all things for later.

Although he did not explicitly ask Wei Wuxian to come back, he also did not show that he would never allow him to come back.

Over the past decade or so, he had been constantly wiping Wei Wuxian's Chen Qing, and had woken up from his dreams countless times in the middle of the night. The huge Lotus Pier was deserted.

Every time this happened, his heart was filled with resentment. He resented the injustice of God, the disgust of the world and the people, and even more so the resentment that Wei Wuxian had abandoned him and chosen someone else.

(ps: This abandonment also includes the time when Jiang Cheng told Wei Wuxian that if he wanted to protect the Wen family, he couldn't protect him, and Wei Wuxian asked him to abandon himself, and he wanted to continue to choose to protect the Wen family.)

Lan Wangji looked at Jiang Cheng, whose expression was almost distorted, and said in a very firm tone: "Nothing will happen to him."

Jiang Cheng sneered at this: "It's better this way."

Soon the team from the west came back and said, "Master, we didn't find anything."

Jiang Cheng: "If you haven't found it yet, keep looking!"

After a while, the team from the east also came back, bringing two people with them: "Master, this guy said he had seen it."

It can be said that they were brought back, but in fact they were dragged back. The two men had never seen such a big scene before, and they were so scared that their legs went weak and they sat on the ground.

Everyone in Yunmeng knew that Master Jiang of Lotus Pier had a violent temper and loved to beat people. When these two people saw him, they immediately felt that they were doomed and even began to tremble.

Lan Wangji looked at the two people slumped on the ground and wanted to reach out to help them, but when the two men saw the cold face of the man in front of them, they thought he was going to hit them, so they stepped back again and again.

Lan Wangji's hand froze in place and he winked at Lan Sizhui, who understood immediately.

Lan Sizhui first crouched down and stretched out his hand to the two of them: “Don’t be afraid, old man, we are all disciples of upright families, not bad people.”

The two men took a look at the child in front of them. He had a kind face and gentle words, giving people the impression that he was easy to get along with, so they took his hand and stood up.

Lan Sizhui said, “Old man, we just want to ask if you have seen a…” When he was still thinking about what words to use to describe Wei Wuxian’s appearance, someone handed him a portrait.

The person above was exactly Wei Wuxian’s appearance.

Lan Sizhui took the portrait with some surprise, and the person who handed it to him was Jiang Cheng! This surprised him even more.

The two men pointed at the man in the portrait and said, "I've seen him before. He was here to buy cloth this morning, but he ran away without buying after choosing."

Another person echoed, "I saw him when I came back from the mountains to chop wood. He was with a child at the time." The man gestured his height, then looked at Lan Sizhui and said, "He's about the same height as you. His figure..." He then noticed Lan Wangji standing beside him, and then continued, "...just like him, with an outstanding appearance and temperament. It's hard to forget him."
