So that was why Wen Ning had no intention of attacking.

Jin Ling, "Uncle!"

Jiang Cheng's ordered coldly, "Jin Ling, come here."

"Why did he only call his nephew, not his son?" asked a random cultivator.

"And what? Make it known to the world that I am his son?" asked Jingyi.

"Oh I forgot that it's a secret. Sorry." said the cultivator.

"It's nothing." said Jingyi.

From the dark forest behind him slowly walked out a group of cultivators from different sects, wearing uniforms of different colors. The group grew larger and larger. In estimation, there were almost two thousand, a large black blanket that surrounded the cave. These cultivators, including Jiang Cheng, all bathed in blood, their faces tired. All of the boys rushed outside the cave, shouting, "Dad!" "Mom!" "Brother!" They were embraced into the crowd.

Jin Ling looked left and right, as though he still hadn't decided yet. Jiang Cheng's voice was harsh, "Jin Ling, why are you so slow? What are you taking your time for? Do you want to die?!"

"Harsh as always, ChengCheng." said Wei Wuxian.

"And that will never change." said the juniors.

"Looks like they faced a lot of walking corpses." said Nie Huaisang.

"They're too many." said Jin Zixuan.

"Are they there to crusade against a-xian?" asked Jiang Yanli.

"But you guys saw that it wasn't my doing." said Wei Wuxian.

"Without proof, they just can't simply put the blame on me." he added.

Lan QiRen stood before the crowd. He seemed much older. Strands of white even began to grow at his temples. He called, "WangJi."

Lan WangJi's answered in a low voice, "Uncle."

But he still didn't stand to his side.

Lan QiRen understood more than anyone. This was Lan WangJi's answer, firm, resolute. With a disappointed expression, he shook his head. He didn't try to persuade him any further.

"Maybe shufu already know about Wangji's feeling towards Wuxian." said Lan Xichen.

"Mn." said Sizhui.

"That's why he is so against a-niang's dark path." he added.

"But, he can never persuade Wangji to give up and stand on the side against his beloved." said Lan Xichen.

"That's why he just let him." said Sizhui.

A woman in white robes stood forward, her eyes filled with tears, "HanGuang-Jun, just what is wrong with you? You... You are not you anymore. In the past, you clearly could not even stand the YiLing Patriarch. Just what technique did Wei WuXian use to bewitch you for you to stand on the side opposite to us?"

Lan WangJi didn't pay attention to her. Having not received a reply, the woman could only add in pity, "If so, then how undeserving of your name!"

"These people needs to know the truth before giving their opinion and judgment." said Jiang Yanli.

"You're right." MianMian agrees.

"Even if she's a woman, I don't like how she said that. Let people choose whom they want to side with, don't judge them." she added.

Wei WuXian, "You people are here again."
