15 | Wei Wuxian

Jin Guangyao led them to the secret room, Madam Jin was all emotionless and unmoved. Wei Wuxian led them to the place where the head was supposed to be.

"A-Yao, this must be..." Lan Xichen trailed off as he knew Jin Guangyao would swap the head with the dagger.

"Good eye, this dagger belonged to Wen Ruohan. It's cursed, full of resentful energy. So I had to seal it up here, naturally," Jin Guangyao picked up the dagger as soon as he finished.

All of them already stayed cautious, the Jiangs and Jin Ling also stay cautious as if something was gonna happened. And it did, Madam Jin screamed out loud and snatched the dagger, about to stab herself. It's a lucky that Jiang Lixuan was near her but she got harshly pushed away by her, which made herself fell the floor. She was suprised that this Madam Jin had a lot of strength that she managed to fall just by pushing from her as she was actually so weak. Lan Xichen was about to stop her but it's too late, the dagger was already stabbed her stomach.

Jin Guangyao faked panicking and held her as he was the second closer to her. He could stop that at any moment as if he was a low skilled cultivator. The Jiangs and Jin Ling knew that this Madam Jin was not that strong that she could pushed Jiang Lixuan away and made her fell with all the forces as if she was strong. They immediately trusted Nie Huaisang and the rest as they knew that it was all Jin Guangyao's doings.

"Sighs... It's too late... That dagger had extremely high levels of resentful energy. Madam Jin... A-Yao, I'm sorry," Lan Xichen only faked his apologize to him.

"Er Ge, what is the meaning of this? Why would A-Su take her own life? And why would you guys were insisted to go to my treasure room? I told you there's nothing in my treasure room. Is there something you're not telling me?" Jin Guangyao kept faking his action as he exclaimed at Lan Xichen. Lan Xichen tried his best to not show a disgusted expression.

"Lianfang Zun, cut the crap. It was so obvious that this is your doing. Madam Jin was so weak but she managed to snatch that dagger and pushed me away with all the force. I could felt that it was not her strength at all. Let me take a guess, you must have switched our Chifeng Zun's head with that dagger, right?" Jiang Lixuan snapped him.

"Luzui Jun? W-what do you mean by that?" Jin Guangyao showed slightly actual panicked as he afraid that he might be exposed. He didn't expect that they all actually found out about this.

"Then explain what takes you so long to come back. Even it's a secret, you sure you will not take that long time. Right, Jiujiu?" Jin Ling stepped in bravely as he was the only junior here.

"Mn. Lianfang Zun, the answer for the head's whereabout is here. Isn't it, Zewu Jun?" Jiang Cheng also stepped in.

"But wasn't Da Ge buried? Er Ge and I saw it with our own eyes!" Jin Guangyao exclaimed loudly at them and backed away a little bit.

"San Ge, you're wrong. I already checked the coffin but once I tapped it, there's clearly didn't show any sign of Da Ge in it. For my brother's sake, stop acting already. I never knew you were so good at acting," Nie Huaisang finally snapped his fan at him.

"Huh?! You suspected that Da Ge's head was in here as you only knew that Da Ge was no more in the coffin? Er Ge, is this why you were so insisted to go in the treasure room? You guys tried to accused me for having the head?" Jin Guangyao looked at Lan Xichen with such a disappointed face. But Lan Xichen only gave him a disappointed face at him too, didn't make any comment which made Jin Guangyao little lost his hopes.

"... Forget it. But Er Ge, Koi Tower is heavily fortified. Besides, if I were the one responsible for this, would I have let someone find Da Ge's head so easily-"

"For the God's sake, don't you dare try to manipulate us, even this nephew of yours here. Stop defending yourself already and surrender yourself," Wei Wuxian finally opened his mouth. This only made Jin Guangyao more mad at him.

"Xuanyu, was it you who told Er Ge and everybody else about this? What's the use of telling such easily exposed lies?" Jin Guangyao snapped at him.

"Xiao Shushu, if you asked me which side I'm standing with, then I'm standing with Mo Qianbei. Jiujiu, Shigu, Shishu, don't be mad at us but I know that Mo Qianbei never failed in detecting the body parts of Chifeng Zun. He... He was very skilled in demonic cultivation..." Jin Ling immediately went behind Mo Qianbei and hid from his uncles and aunt Jiang. Jiang Cheng only twitched the corner of his eyes while the other Jiangs gave him the confusion look.

"Well, very well. But be honest, did you have a hand in A-Su's death?" Jin Guangyao unsheathed his sword started attacking towards Wei Wuxian and Jin Ling. It was a bad decision made by Lan Wangji that he decided to by his brother's side and he couldn't make it to save them.

"It's the Yilling Laozu!" Jin Guangyao backed away and pointed the sword at Wei Wuxian. Lan Wangji immediately pointed his sword at Jin Guangyao which made him clicked his tongue at it.

Wei Wuxian managed to pulled out the nearby sword instead of Jin Ling's sword to defend them both. Turned out it was his own sword, Suibian. Everyone was stunned by it. But the next things happened didn't expect by the couple at all.
