Translated by K of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Wen Ning called over a few dozens of disciples and protected thee, beautiful residence He snuck inside fro

However, just after Wen Ning turned around and closed the door, before he could even stop and take a break, Wei WuXian grabbed his neck again and questioned in a hushed voice, “Where is this place?!”

Even though he had been saved by Wen Ning, he couldn’t let down all of the guard he held against the Wen Sect’s people just like that He had always be alert Back then, following Wen Ning through the large residence, they had passed by many rooms Most of the people inside spoke with Qishan accents He caught all of the fragh theslits and heard the words ‘supervision office’!

Wen Ning quickly waved his hands, “No… I…”

Wei WuXian, “What do you ? Which unfortunate sect’s region did you take this ti us here?”

Wen Ning tried hard to protest, “Young Master Wei, l-listen to me This is a supervision office But… But I really don’t have any intention of harht after I entered Lotus Pier, I could’ve gone back on ht away I-I wouldn’t have had to lead you here”

Wei WuXian had always been h alert He hadn’t relaxed at all and was ready to explode anythis, he still didn’t believe hi continued, “This really is a supervision office If there’s anywhere that the Wen Sect’s people won’t search, it’d be here You two can stay here But, you mustn’t let anyone find you…”

After a pause, Wei WuXian finally forced hio In a low voice, he said to hi’s body flat onto the wooden bed inside the room

However, suddenly, the doors of the house suddenly opened The voice of a wo for you! Explain to me properly…”

Just as he said not to let anyone find them, they were discovered at once!

Wei WuXian immediately broke into a cold sweat He quickly blocked hi was so scared that he couldn’t even say anything

Frozen, the two stared at the wo before the entrance Or, one could call her a h her features were sweet, her expression ith utlowed red, its fla around her sleeves and her collar

The rank was extreh, the same level as Wen Chao!

The three stood still for a few seconds A series of hurried footsteps cae Just as he was about to attack, the maiden moved before he could and, with a boom, she slammed the door shut

A voice asked fro?”

TheMy brother is back He’s feeling down again Don’t wake hio We can talk on our way”

The people outside answered and followed her away Wen Ning let out a breath of relief, explaining to Wei WuXian, “My… My elder sister”

Wei WuXian, “Wen Qing is your elder sister?”

Wen Ning nodded, somewhat embarrassed, “My sister She’s really powerful”

She was indeed powerful

Wen Qing could be considered a fahter of the QishanWen Sect’s leader, Wen RuoHan, but instead the daughter of one of Wen RuoHan’s cousins Although they were far cousins, Wen RuoHan had always had a close relationshi+p to this cousin of his On top of that, Wen Qing was exceptional in the liberal arts and studied medicine as well She was a talent, and thus she was rather favored by Wen RuoHan She often followed Wen RuoHan to the banquets of the QishanWen Sect, which hy Wei WuXian found her face familiar She was a beauty, after all He had also heard froer brother But, perhaps because he wasn’t as talented as Wen Qing, not many people talked about him

Wei WuXian exclai?”

Wen Ning thought that what he was surprised at about was how such an excellent, well-known sister could have such an average brother He adood I… I’m not”

Wei WuXian, “No, no You’re really good as well What I find surprising is that your sister is Wen Qing, the Office Leader, and you dared take us…”

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng shi+fted on the bed He scrunched his eyebrows lightly Wei WuXian i?!”

Wen Ning hurried, “He’s awake He needs et some”

After he walked out, he closed the door behind hi finally woke up Wei WuXian had originally been ecstatic But, soon afterward, he knew that so

Jiang Cheng’s expression was rather strange It was calm, almost too calm

He stared at the ceiling, as though he wasn’t at all interested in the situation that he was in, as though he didn’t care about where he was either

Wei WuXian didn’t expect hier, shock—he had none of these His heart skipped a beat, “Jiang Cheng, can you see me? Can you hear me? Do you knoho I am?”

Jiang Cheng glanced at hi Wei WuXian asked hi hiht He looked down at thebitterly

If the discipline whip struck, it’d be impossible to wipe away the mark of sha at it There has to be a way to get it off”

Jiang Cheng slapped him His strike was so weak, so powerless that Wei WuXian didn’t even flinch, “Hit

as you’ll feel better”

Jiang Cheng, “Did you feel it?”

Wei WuXian paused, “What? Feel what?”

Jiang Cheng, “Did you feel my spiritual power?”

Wei WuXian, “What spiritual power? You didn’t use any spiritual power at all”

Jiang Cheng, “I did”

Wei WuXian, “Just what… are you talking about?”

Jiang Cheng repeated, biting down on each word, “I said, I did When I hit you, I used all ofyou Did you feel it?”

Wei WuXian looked at him After a while of silence, he spoke, “Hit me once more?”

Jiang Cheng, “There’s no need No matter how many more times I hit you, it’ll be the sa Hand is called the Core-Melting Hand?”

The heart had completely sunk

Jiang Cheng continued on his own, “Because his pair of hands can olden core, so that you can’t ever forain, you’re spiritual poill disperse, and you’ll becoe person

“And an average person who descended fro Your whole life will be spent doing worldly business You aren’t allowed to dreaain

“Moolden cores melted away by Wen ZhuLiu first and lost the ability to resist before they were killed by him”

Wei WuXian’s head was in a co, “… The Core-Melting Hand… The Core-Melting Hand…”

Jiang Cheng laughed, “Wen ZhuLiu, Wen ZhuLiu I want revenge, I want revenge, but how could I? I don’t even have ain How can I seek revenge? Hahahahahaha, hahahahahahahahahaha…”

Wei WuXian collapsed onto the ground Watching how crazed Jiang Cheng see

nobody knewhat high regard he held his cultivation and spiritual power in But noith the strike of the Core-Melting Hand, his cultivation, his self-esteee had all been smashed to dust!

Like a lunatic, Jiang Cheng laughed for a while He lay down onto the bed again and opened his ar, “Wei WuXian, why did you saveo ra?”

At this point in tih the door On his face was a s He walked with bowl of medicine in his hand toward the bed Before he could say anything, those sun robes reflected against Jiang Cheng’s eyes His pupils suddenly shrunk

Jiang Cheng kicked Wen Ning, toppling over the bowl ofWei WuXian wanted to take the bowl ofas well, who had been shocked speechless Jiang Cheng roared at hi with you?!”

Wen Ning was so scared that he stepped back a couple of tirabbed Wei WuXian by the collar and shouted, “You see a Wen-dog and you don’t kill him?! And you wanted to pull him up? Do you want to die?!”

Although he used as th as he could, his arled out of thelanced around and asked in alarm, “Where is this?”

Wen Ning answered fro But it’s very safe…”

Jiang Cheng spun toward Wei WuXian, “Supervision office?! You walked yourself into their trap?”

Wei WuXian, “No!”

Jiang Cheng spoke in a harsh voice, “No? Then what are you doing in a supervision office? How did you get here? Don’t tell s for help?!”

Wei WuXian grabbed hi, calm down first It’s very safe here! Wake up It’s not for certain that the Core-Melting Hand can’t…”

Jiang Cheng couldn’t listen to anyone’s words anymore He was already half-hed, “Wei WuXian, hahahahahahahaha Wei WuXian! You! You…”

Suddenly, a red shadow kicked the door open and darted inside With a strike of her pal’s head, and he lay back down at once Wen Qing turned around to shut the door before scolding in a low voice, “Wen Ning, how stupid are you? You let hih and be so loud?! Do you want him to be discovered?”

As though he saw his savior, he shouted, “Sister!”

Wen Qing, “Calling me your sister now? I haven’t asked you yet Since when have you been so bold? How dare you hide people! I’ve already snuck a few questions earlier on So that hy you suddenly wanted to go to Yunave you so e? If Wen Chao knows about this wouldn’t he tear you to apart? If he really is set on killing someone, do you think that I can stop him?”

She spoke quickly and clearly Her forceful tone allowed for no objections Wei WuXian couldn’t find anywhere at all to interrupt her Wen Ning’s face was as pale as snow, “Sister, but Young Master Wei…”

Wen Qing continued, voice stern, “I won’t say anything too ratitude and that’s an understandable reason However, these two ! You came suddenly and left suddenly, meanwhile Wen Chao lost the two of them Do you think Wen Chao is that much of an idiot? Their search will reach here sooner or later This is the supervision office under my command, and this is your house What accusation do you think it’ll be if they discover that you’re hiding them? Think carefully!”

She explained so clearly as at stake for theh she pointed at Wei WuXian’s nose and told hiet lost quickly and not to stay here and burden them If Wei WuXian were the one injured or if somebody else had saved them, he’d immediately say farewell and leave at once, full of deter was the one who had been injured Not only was he injured, he had lost his core as well He wasn’t in his right mind No matter what, Wei WuXian couldn’t find any determination And the Wen Sect hat caused thein with It was only natural for hiive up He could only clench his teeth and stay quiet

Wen Ning, “B-But the Wen Sect people…”

Wen Qing cut him off, “What the Wen Sect does doesn’t represent e do We don’t need to be responsible for the Wen Sect’s wrongdoing Wei Ying, there’s no need to look atto all debts I’, but I was ordered to take the position I’m a medic, an apothecary, I’ve never killed anyone,Sect”

It was true nobody had heard of any lives lost by Wen Qing’s hands There were always many cases that people wanted her to take over It was because Wen Qing was one of the Wen Sect’s people whose way of doing things was actually norood words for people in front of Wen RuoHan Her reputation had always been good

All were silent within the room

A few ain, “Don’t pull out the needle The brat would start throwing a fit if he wakes up His shouting voice could be heard from even outside Pull it out after his injuries have healed I really don’t want to deal with Wen Chao, especially that wousts me!”

She went out the door as soon as she finished Wei WuXian spoke, “She… , but we can still stay for a few days… right?”

Wen Ning nodded, “Thank you, Sister!”

A pack ofspoke frorateful then put in some effort! What a hell kind of ain!”

Although the pack of herbs s, he spoke happily, “The ood Hundreds of tiood for sure”

Wei WuXian finally felt relief, “Thank you”

He understood the fact that one of these siblings deciding to turn a blind eye to theht help theer Just as Wen Qing said, if Wen Chao truly wanted to kill anyone, it was unlikely for Wen Qing to be able to stop him Perhaps she’d be affected as well After all, children of others could never compare to children of one’s own

With the needle in Jiang Cheng’s head, he slept for three days Both his bones and the exterior injuries had healed already All that was left and couldn’t be healed were the eternal olden core that he’d never be able to take back
