Chapter 7 (1/2)
PROUD 2
It was getting a little late It was already getting to the point where he ought to light a torch as he entered the mountain woods ahead
As Wei Wuxian proceeded, he remarkably didn’t encounter anymore cultivators
He felt rather surprised: ‘Can it be possible that of the clans here, one batch stays at Fujiao and endlessly debates ar back just now that was looking defeated and disappointed?’
Suddenly ahead he heard the sound of a voice calling for help
“Someone come, ah!”
“Someone help me!”
The voices were of a s, they did not appear to be fake
Voices calling for help in y behind the scenes, attracting the unsuspecting to get caught in a trap
Wei Wuxian however was very happy
The more evil the better, in fact he was afraid it would insufficiently evil!
He encouraged the donkey with his riding crop to rush towards where the voices were co, but after looking upwards he saas not an evil spirit or phantom, rather the sae of the footpath between paddy fields, all suspended within a golden bright and dazzling enormous net up in a tree
That inally led the rest of his people into the mountain woods to patrol They did not encounter the prey that they had been looking forward to however, but had inadvertently stepped within a trap a wealthy person had set up Suspended above in the tree, they bitterly complained without end
Seeing sohted But it seemed that this individual was a lunatic, and so they were proreatly disappointed
The rope of the bind ih slender, consisted of hest quality Sturdy, could not be broken, and once caught, no matter if it was a person, deity, demon, or phantom they will end up tormented for a time
Only by a higher grade of immortal tool could it be broken apart
It was useless to persuade this lunatic to release them to come down Very likely this person wouldn’t even kno
Just as they were about to try to call hiht and quick footsteps approached Fro soft pale garments
This young gentleman had a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows and ca Sirown child His body was burdened with a quiver, the hilt of his longsword bore the luster of a goldenlight (1) ranked weapon, and a longboas in his hands
On his clothes was exquisite embroidery On his chest was a round floith an out of the ordinary iht within flashed fine bits and pieces of light
Wei Wuxian sighed to himself “He’s loaded!”
This one surely was one of Lan Ling Jin’s young masters
Only this family used the white peony as the clan sy the king of flowers, they silently advertised the the cinnabar dot, the intention “Dehtened wisdoeneration” (3)
This young gentleman at first had pulled back his bow in order to shoot, but then saw the people bound up in the bind immortal net Disappointed after the event, he suddenly showed an impatient look: “Every time it’s idiots like you Within this mountain there are numerous bind iht because you people have spoiled a dozen or more!”
Wei Wuxian thought to hiain: “He’s loaded!”
A bind iuy actually in one breath used so many For a somewhat small clan, the cost would ruin a fa Jin clan (4)
Clearly this kind of excessive use of the bind iht Wherever there was night hunting, clearly people would also be caught It would not peret a share of the action
Apparently for the previously withdrawing cultivators, the blaht; rather it was because of not wanting to risk the disaster of provoking a prestigious family
With several days walking along the wayside, in addition to oneFujiao town, Wei Wuxian had heard a lot of gossip regarding the extent of the ups and downs of fortune these last few years in the cultivating world
As the ultimate winner of the hundred year xian Jin clan led the way for a multitude of families Each successive family master was addressed deferentially as “Xiandu” (5)
The Jin faant, fond of luxury wealth and beauty These past years they kept themselves aloof and remote as they embraced their status as a rich and powerful clan Even more is that within the clan their juniors were raised each and every one to run amok with no scruples The somewhat secondary clans even if humiliated on all fronts could only suffer in silence These kinds of rural small families were still numerous and dared not provoke anyone Therefore even if this youngster's words were harsh and the several people hanging in the net becaer, they didn't dare to curse back
Theand allow us to come down”
This youth, impatient that prey was slow to appear, decided to vent his irritation at these few country hicks at hand, saying: “You are already hanging there I'll have you avoid wandering aibeast, at that point I’ll have you released”
If they really ended up spending the night hung up in the tree and if by any chance they ended uparound Dafan le step It would certainly result in having their souls entirely sucked dry
The round faced girl that had given the apple to Wei Wuxian was afraid and cried out
Wei Wuxian had been originally sitting cross legged on the donkey The donkey's long hears tre and it suddenly leapt up
It leapt up and returned a long cry Even allowing for the fact that the bray extreet in the way of its heroic i manner To say that it was a one in a thousand very spirited mount also was in no way erroneous
Wei Wuxian, caught off guard from atop of the back of the donkey, startled and almost fell off
The flower donkey with its big head facing forwards, charged into that youngit could use its head to cast him away
That youngan arrow, just in time faced the to so quickly again atte back the reins
That youngat him with both eyes, however suddenly showed a stunned look, which soon after turned to disdain Curling his lip he said: “As it turns out, it’s you”
This tone of voice o parts astonished and eight parts revulsion Hearing this, Wei Wuxian blinked
That young oneto let you out and appear in public!”
What kind of thing did he seem to hear?!
Could it be that — Wei Wuxian slapped his thigh
Don’t tell me Mo Xuanyu’s father wasn't some randoshan?!
Jin Guangshan had been Lan Ling Jin's elder generation fao
As for this person, it could be even said it was a complicated story
He had had a ferocious ith an illustrious fa henpeckedCertainly he dreaded returning ho difficult to deal with also couldn't go a single day of twenty-four hours without harassing hiious houses down to countryside prostitutes, in no way did he overlook a single one
And although he loved to be a wo secret affairs resulting in nued the hold for the new Once he was tired of the woman he easily put them out of his mind with no sense of responsibility
Aitinized as a capable individual it was the person that occupied the post of Lan Ling Jin family master Jin Guanyao
Moreover, Jin Guangshan had passed away in a disgraceful or despite his years, he decided to challenge hiroup of aimless women However he was sadly instantly defeated
This really left the higher ups too e Jin to external world unanimously claimed that the clan head was excessively exhausted, and thereupon the , pretended not to know otherwise
In short, this story froin
At that tie encircle's activities, it was of secondary i way
Nowadays Wei Wuxian however had taken residence in his illegitimate child; also he did not knohich account to take seriously
That youngdislike in his heart, said: “You still haven't taken a hike! Seeing you is enough to instantly make me sick Drop dead cut sleeve” (6)
Calculating by seniority in the clan, Mo Xuanyu was still probably this young eneration To unexpectedly receive a de Wei Wuxian felt, even if it was not hiinally possessed this body he also should demand humiliation in return and responded: “Truly you had a mother who birthed you but did not raise you” (7)
Upon hearing those words, two furious fla man’s eyes flashed and died
He pulled out the longsword he carried, said thickly replied: “You – – said what?”
The blade of the ht, therefore it was a hard to come by sword Most families worked hard for a lifetirade of sword
Wei Wuxian carefully exa this blade seeolden treasure swords in the past and so he did not give it ed his attention to his hand where within he held a very s
The day before yesterday he had picked up a few scraps and pieces at the last ”
As that younghis sword towards his head, fro took out a s the slash, he spun behind him and with a “pa” he slapped it on his back
That youth’s move him around to place the talisman on his back were faster
That youth only felt that the center of his back turned nued down, his entire person couldn't help but to lean forward and fall to the ground His sword also clattered as it fell to the ground at his side No matter how hard he tried he could not cli pressed down by Mt Tai
Pressing down on his back was only a gluttonous yin spirit, this firm pressure made it difficult to breathe
This snorant child however was nothing difficult
Wei Wuxian picked the sword up, weighing it in his hand and with a single wave he cut down the bind immortal net
That entire fa a word, they hurriedly and with a wild manner fled the scene
The round faced young lady appearing to wish to express her thanks was quickly dragged away by her elders
The fear of this golden young gentleer
The young round said with fury: “daer cultivated spiritual strength is insufficient and so you turn to these types of evil methods You’d better watch out! Do you knoho's also here? Today my…… ”
Wei Wuxian with not a drop of sincerity held up his hands: “Ah! I’m very afraid!”
He previously had practiced a set of cultivationtie to their physical foundations However there was an accelerated efficiency and so for those who did not have strong spiritual strength or had limited innate skill, consequently, they would find it extremely attractive To secretly covet shortcuts in cultivation there was no lack of offenders This youngthat ti Jin clan afterwards must have turned towards the evil path
This suspicion was reasonable, also to save tihten him
The youngseveral ti very red, he clenched his teeth: ”If you do not re I will tell my uncle, you seek your death!”
Wei Wuxian was baffled: “Why do you say uncle and not father? Who is your uncle?”
Behind hi the woods: “I am his uncle, furthermore what are your last words?”
Upon hearing this voice, the blood in Wei Wuxian’s whole body seeain faded completely white
Luckily his face was already originally pale, so again some additional loss of color wasn’t exceptional
A violet clothed young person strolled out wearing an arrow sleeved (8) light goith his hand on top of the sword hilt at his waist Also at his waist hung suspended a small silver bell, as he walked however, the sound of the bell couldn't be heard
