Wei wuxian had thought that finally, everything was over. He broke the amulet. He'd soon die. There was no need for anyone to fight anymore.

He did die. He was sure of it.

He thought he was finally at peace. Maybe, even for just a minute, he would be free of responsibilities.

But he heard a voice. A voice that belonged to a fairly young man.

"My name is no Xuanyu."

"My mother was born from a concubine of the Mo clan. Having received the fancy of a cultivational sect, she gave birth to me when she was 16. "

The young man was drawing a complicated seal with his blood. He observed it. Wei wuxian recognised the seal.

"I was accepted into cultivation at the age of 14. Yet.... Due to poor aptitude and other worldly matters, i was send back home."

Mo Xuanyu sounded desperate. A tremor in his bloody body. He spoke as though clinging on to his final hope.

"Since then, mother and I have been humiliated by the Mo clan. No withstanding the disgrace, my mother passed away."

"I, Xuanyu am left with nobody on my side."

"Here i beg forth the rebirth of your sinister spirit, to help grant my king cherished wish."

"I will use my flesh as lure in sacrifice for your spirit and my soul as compensation to return to earth."

"Here i summon sinister soul. Yiling patriarch! Wei wuxian!"

A strong force pulled him back into the land of the living. Wei wuxian was very alert during the summoning, hence why he awoke immediately. Although his body ached, he quickly altered the seal with some blood.

A shadowy figure appeared in front on him.

It was Mo Xuanyu. Wei wuxian drew up a seal because he wanted to hear the entire story from the summoner himself. He would get more details that way.

The young boy was shocked at seeing his own face looking back at him with a stoic face.

"Why did you summon me?"

An emotionaless voice spoke. Yiling patriarch, Wei wuxian, was currently in his body. That must mean the seal had worked.

But why was he here? Wasn't his soul supposed to be shattered already?

He thought must have been visible on his face as the yiling patriarch spoke.

"I called you here. You did not complete the summoning entirely. I dispise no knowing exactly what situation I am in. Go on. Tell me your story."

"Ah! Yes! I- i will!"

Mo Xuanyu proceeded to tell him everything that had happened. About his sufferings at the mo clan. And what exactly had transpired at jinlin-tai.

"Jin guangyao? He ruined your reputation?"

"Yes. I.... am a cutsleeve. He accused me of making a move on him, and kicked me out of jinlin-tai."

"Hmmm. I do not recall him being such a person before....."

"I-I am speaking the truth! You much believe me!"

Mo Xuanyu had tears in his eyes. He needed the patriarch to believe him. He needed his revenge.

"Why did he target you? Assuming you, in fact, did not make a move on him."

"It was because I saw something i wasn't meant to see."

"Explain"

"Yes."

Mo Xuanyu told him about Wei wuxian's research kept at jinlin-tai. He also told him about the ghost genral, wen Ning, being kept under their control.

"Wen Ning?" A trembling voice spoke. Wei wuxian was shocked. A member of his family was still alive! Well- not really alive, half alive at least.

The- then jins lied to him. How...HOW DARE THEY!

"I'll kill them."

Mo Xuanyu looked up with a hopeful look. Was he going to believe him? Was he going to fulfill his wish?

He couldn't help but bow low. With a shaking frame he spoke.

"Thank you very much."

Wei wuxian looked at the trembling figure of a young man and felt pity.

He wordlessly redrew the summoning seal and connected both Mo Xuanyu and himself. There was a small burst of resentful energy in the air.

"What did you do?.."

Wei wuxian let a small smile grace his youthful face.

"Although I did not wish to come back into the land of the living, you have given me a chance to take revenge for what was done to my family. It is a great opportunity for me. Hence why, i cannot left you sacrifice your soul."

"What do you-"

"I remade the summoning array. This will make it so that you would not have to sacrifice your soul any longer."

Mo Xuanyu felt his lower lip wobble. To think that the sinister spirit Wei wuxian would actually be kind. To be kind to someone like him. Even after hearing his story.

He decided then. All the rumers and stories about the yiling patriarch was bullshit. This man was good.

"Thank you! Thank you for this kindness!"

Wei wuxian just smiled.

"I will now send to into the reincarnation cycle. I pray you have a good and happy next life."

Wei wuxian finish the array. He watched the figure of the young man slowly disappear. He could see his face. At his moment of death, mo Xuanyu was smiling.
