Chapter 12 Refinement—Part Two

The sear took away all of Wei WuXian's attention,him doubt that he had mislooked He couldn't even pay attention to the person's face, and his breaths also stuttered for a few times Suddenly, a flash of white appeared before his eyes, as if snow had fallen before hilare of a sword penetrated through the snow, slashi+ng toward him with an arctic blast of wind

Who didn't know that it was HanGuang-Jun's faJi!

Wei WuXian was quite adept at running away and dodging swords With a roll on the ground, he closely avoided the sword He even had the time to pull off a leaf that stuck to his hair when he rushed out of the cold spring He ran like a headless fly, right into a few people ere passing by frorabbed hi is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses!”

Wei WuXian, seeing that it was Lan JingYi and the others, were ecstatic, thinking that he could finally be chased down the mountain He presented hi! I'!”

The juniors were shocked speechless by his ih, holythe junior disciples in the sect He was near the cold spring to watch HanGuang-Jun bathe! Just thinking about such a thing would be the greatest crihtened to the point that his voice even changed, ”What? HanGuang-Jun? HanGuang-Jun is inside?!”

Lan JingYi seized him furiously, ”You damn cut-sleeve! I-i-is he someone you could peek at?!”

Wei WuXian struck the iron when it was still hot and confirle peek of how HanGuang-Jun looks like without his clothes!”

Lan JingYi fu that three-hundred taels are not buried here! Well, if you did not, why are you sneaking around here? Look at you—you have no face to see anyone!”

Wei WuXian covered his face with his hands, ”Don't be so loud… Noise is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses”

AJi walked out frorasses with his hair doearing a white robe The conversation hadn't even finished yet, and he was already dressed in an orderly fashi+on, bi+chen still unsheathed The juniors hurried to greet hi-Jun, Mo XuanYu really is awful You only brought hie, yet he… he…”

Wei WuXian thought that, this time, it would be beyond his endurance and kicked out of the sect However, Lan wangJi only lightly glimpsed at him After aand spoke,”You are dismissed”

It was only three toneless words, but it was powerful enough for no second option to be allowed The crowd dispersed iJi caled hishi+ In his past life, the tere of siht, both somewhat slender and tall Wei WuXian was only shorter than Lan wangJi by a tiny bit When they stood together, the difference of less than one cun between the up in another body, he washeld in his hand, he couldn't even struggle against hiJi spoke coldly, ”Those who make noise will be silenced”

He would love to be thrown off the mountain, but wouldn't want to be silenced Wei WuXian couldn't understand it at all—since when did the Lan Sect tolerate so at one of the Lan Clan's ?!

Lan wangJi carried hiht toward the inner room, and threw him down onto the bed with a thuet up at the inally wanted to whine a few times in a flirtatious manner, so that he would detest hiJi was holding bi+chen with one hand, looking down at hily

He was used to seeing Lan wangJi with his forehead ribbon, neat, long hair, scrupulous to every detail, but had never seen hi thin clothing Wei WuXian couldn't help to glance a fewhiJi's collars, which were closed in the beginning, ca his distinct collarbones and the deep red sear under them

As he saw the sear, Wei WuXian's attention was captured again

When he hadn't beco Patriarch yet, he also had a sear like this on his body

And, the sear on Lan wangJi's body was exactly the same as the one on his body in his past life, no matter the position or the shape, so it was only natural for hinize it and become surprised

Speaking of it, aside from this sear, the thirty-or-so scars of the discipline whip on his back were also surprising

Lan wangJi becah appraisal, he was one of the ed cultivators in the cultivation world, and also part of the Two Jades of which the GusuLan Sect was so proud of Every word and action of his was set as examples of excellence by the elders of each sect for their disciples Just what unforgivable mistake did he make for him to be punished like this?

Seeing from the thirty-or-so scars of the discipline whip, the executor ht as well have killed him As soon as the discipline whip had been delivered, it wouldn't disappear for the rest of the bearer's life, so that they would reain

Following his gaze, Lan wangJi lowered his eyes He pulled his collar so that it covered his collarbones and sear, becoain At the moment, the deep toll of the bell came from far away

The Lan Sect had strict sect rules, including a precise schedule of sleeping at nine in the evening and rising at five in the Ji listened attentively to the tolls, and spoke to Wei WuXian, ”You will be sleeping here”

Without giving Wei WuXian a chance to reply, he turned to another co Wei WuXian alone, sprawled on the bed alone and feeling confused

He did doubt that Lan wangJiin both sense and reason As sacrificing one's body was a prohibited practice, there were probably not a lot of people who knew about it The scrolls passed down the generations were most likely partial pieces of the entire work, unable to reach their full potential Things continued like this, and so there were less and less people who believed in it Mo XuanYu only su at a secret scroll, wherever he found it in the first place Anyhow, Lan wangJi couldn't have recognized him just from the awful flute melodies that he played

He asked himself whether or not he had a heartfelt relationshi+p with Lan wangJi in his past life Although they had studied with each other, went on adventures, and fought together, all of these experiences were like falling petals and floater—coJi was a disciple of the GusuLan Sect, which hteous,” quite incoht that their relationshi+p wasn't exactly bad, but it wasn't that good either The chances were that Lan wangJi's opinion of hi overly wanton and not virtuous enough, it would have been only a matter of time before he caused a disaster After Wei WuXian betrayed the Yun Patriarch, he had a few significant disputes with the Lan Sect, especially during the few Ji was sure that he was Wei WuXian, they should have already been engaged in a large-scale fight

Yet, he wasn't sure what to make of the current situation—in the past, no , but now, even though he used whatever Ji could still tolerate hiress?!
