Upon witnessing Nie Huaisang's unexpected involvement, Nie Mingjue quickly grabbed Nie Huaisang's shoulder and slapped it hard. He lowered his head, examining the now-transformed folding fan with a sharp gaze. His tone was filled with undeniable seriousness: "You must explain this to me clearly later, otherwise..." His words were filled with warnings. It was clear that Nie Mingjue was deeply dissatisfied and confused by Nie Huaisang's sudden intervention, and he needed a reasonable explanation to calm his anger and doubts.

Nie Huaisang was startled by Nie Mingjue's sudden action. He had never seen his brother look so stern before. He swallowed hard and replied with a trembling voice, "Brother, I... I just..." Nie Huaisang tried to explain, but Nie Mingjue interrupted him.

"Now is not the time to explain." Nie Mingjue interrupted Nie Huaisang, his eyes swept across the chaotic battlefield, and then turned back to Nie Huaisang, "You retreat to a safe place first. I will listen to you after the battle is over." Nie Mingjue's tone was unquestionable, and Nie Huaisang had no choice but to nod in agreement. He knew that the only thing he could do now was to obey his brother's orders.

Wei Wuxian ignored the scene. He suddenly used his spiritual power to grab Yu Ziyuan's hair, forcing her head to face Chuchen Mountain. Yu Ziyuan's leg bones were already shattered, and now she was forced to kneel, her face contorted in pain. Her tongue was mashed, making it impossible for her to utter a sound, only a gurgling sound deep in her throat. Blood foamed continuously from her mouth. Combined with her already unkempt appearance, the whole scene was incredibly terrifying and extremely uncomfortable.

Wei Wuxian paid no attention to Yu Ziyuan's miserable state. He grabbed her and threw her down before her, kneeling in front of her as well. He said viciously, "Yu Ziyuan, my mother is of noble status. She was a disciple of Baoshan Sanren, and her cultivation was unparalleled in the world during her lifetime. How can you compare yourself to her? Not only did you kill her, but you also dared to insult her reputation for years after her death! It was you, Yu Ziyuan, who forced Jiang Fengmian to marry you, but you took your anger out on my mother. Why don't you think about yourself and why Jiang Fengmian doesn't like you?"

Then he said to Jiang Fengmian, "You stepped on my parents to build up your Jiang family's reputation... No, there's also Yu Ziyuan. Sect Master Jiang even used his own wife. What a clever trick."

As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to force Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's heads to kowtow to the ground. "This first kowtow is your apology to my mother!" He then continued, "My father, Wei Changze, was a guest official of the Jiang family. He made great contributions to your Jiang family back then. Not only are you ungrateful, you have also deceived the world, belittled his status, and wantonly insulted him." Wei Wuxian grabbed Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's heads and kowtowed them again. "This second kowtow is your apology to my father!" He then pressed Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's heads down and kowtowed for a third time. "This third kowtow is to apologize to those who died in vain!!"

Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan, who had been forced to kowtow, were already covered in blood on their faces and their bodies were turned into a paste. Wei Wuxian let her go in disgust and kicked Yu Ziyuan towards the Jiang family. Jiang Yanli, who was forcibly held by the maid arranged by Jin Zixuan, suddenly shook off the maid's hand and hurried forward to check on her parents. She wanted to help her parents up, but how could Jiang Yanli, who had no spiritual power, help them up?

Jiang Yanli raised her head and slowly scanned the crowd around her. She longed for some help or at least understanding. However, when everyone heard about the evil deeds committed by the Jiang family, even the Lan family avoided Jiang Yanli's sight. She then realized that her parents had really done something wrong, so wrong that everyone present despised and looked down on the Jiang family.

Who would be willing to speak up for her in this situation? After all, they still hoped Wei Wuxian would lend a hand to fight against the Wen family's power. In such a delicate situation, who would dare to speak up? She also noticed that even her uncle's family, the Yu family, looked disgusted, as if they were afraid that she would speak up and drag them into this mess.

At this time, Yu Ziyuan slowly opened her eyes. It must be said that Chaoyang's elixir was really good. She was still alive even in this state. Although she only had one breath left, at least she was still alive.

Jiang Yanli knelt forward, witnessing her mother's miserable state. She wanted to help but hesitated. Finally, Yu Ziyuan slowly reached out her hands, groping in Jiang Yanli's direction. Jiang Yanli then carefully lifted her up and held her tightly in his arms. Though Yu Ziyuan struggled to get up, her tongue had been chewed by Wei Ying, and blood flowed as soon as she opened her mouth. Unable to speak, she could only painstakingly write in Jiang Yanli's hand, stroke by stroke: "Ask, what is the meaning of Jiang Fengmian's use?" When she finished, her trembling finger pointed at Wei Ying.

Jiang Yanli watched with tears streaming down her face as her mother wrote word by word. Then, seeing her mother pointing in Wei Ying's direction, she understood what she wanted to ask: "Father, what are you using him for?"

Seeing her mother's plea, and then looking at her unconscious father beside her, Jiang Yanli couldn't resist Yu Ziyuan's pleading eyes. Her gaze slowly shifted from Yu Ziyuan to the unconscious Jiang Fengmian beside her. Under Yu Ziyuan's expectant gaze, she looked up at Wei Ying and asked in a low voice, "Master Wei, could you please tell me why my father used my mother?"

The voice was so low that if Wei Ying wasn't a cultivator, he wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

When Wei Ying heard Jiang Yanli's words, he didn't even glance at her. He simply glanced at Jiang Fengmian, who lay limp and unattended, before turning his gaze to the four men engaged in a fierce battle. Meng Yao wore a sly smile, sword in hand, as she engaged Jiang Cheng in a game of cat and mouse. Meng Yao sensed her senior brother's gaze, and Lan Wangji, at the same time, noticed that Wei Wuxian's situation was resolved. The two simultaneously shook off Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan, who were entangled with them, and quickly retreated behind Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian's palm, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He glanced at Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan with disdain, then took out a handkerchief, held Wei Wuxian's hand and gently wiped his palm until Wei Wuxian nodded with satisfaction, then put the handkerchief away.

Wei Wuxian was completely oblivious to this, calmly and contentedly allowing Lan Wangji to wipe his hands, seemingly unperturbed. Seeing this, Meng Yao, Xue Yang, and Fen Hua exchanged bewildered glances... Couldn't these two see what was happening?!

Lan Xichen couldn't help but twitch his lips. This Wangji was really...
