17 | Confession

Jin Guangyao pulled out Stygian Tiger Amulet on his hand, almost activated it.

"IF YOU DON'T WANT JIN LING TO DIE, THEN-" he immediately groaned in pain, Lan Wangji had cut his hand and the amulet immediately dropped to the the floor.

He wanted to stab his heart but only got stopped by his brother, Lan Xichen, "Wangji, not yet. We need him to confess all of his crimes."

He made Jin Guangyao unconscious and dropped to the floor. I was suprised that the guards hadn't entered yet.

Jin Ling already had his arms around Wei Wuxian as he got scared for a second.

"... Jin Ling, we're safe," Wei Wuxian sighed and patted his nephew's head. Jin Ling looked up and backed away in embarrassed instantly.

"Jin Ling, Wei Wuxian, don't mind explaining to us?" Jiang Cheng approached them with his arms crossed, face slightly shown annoyance.

"Ahaha, Cheng Shidi, I think this is not a good place for explanation. But we can reveal to the world that Wei Wuxian the Yiling Laozu has came back, right?" Jiang Lixuan awkwardly joined in.

"Mn. Jin Guangyao already confessed some of his crimes, I believe that there's still many crimes we don't know about it," Lan Xichen stated.

"Then... If Wei Wuxian the Yiling Laozu has came back, can I openly hang out with Wen Ning tomorrow? I also will bring Sizhui and Jingyi with me," Jin Ling innocently asked them. This only made Jiang Chenh choked on his own salive, Jiang Xianzhan patted his back lightly.

"Oi, Jin Shizhi, you dare to ask that kind of question in front this uncle of yours?" Jiang Lixuan scolded him. Jin Ling only stucked out his tongue at the Jiangs and immediately went behind Wei Wuxian. He mentally facepalmed that this nephew of him had fully trusted him that he used him as a shield from the scary Jiangs. Jiang Xianzhan held two of the Jiangs back and sighed.





The next morning had come. It was suprised that Jin Ling sat on the Chief Cultivator's seat instead. Lan Xichen was by his side, same goes to Nie Huaisang. Lan Wangji and that Mo Xuanyu had not been seen on high ranking seats. Chief Cultivator and Madam Jin were also not be seen since the morning.

"Thank you for all the cultivators attending today's Discussion Conference. I, Lan Huan, courtesy name Lan Xichen, the Sect Leader of Gusu Lan and Jin Ling, courtesy name Jin Rulan, the Sect Heir of Lanling Jin, have to confess something to all our dear people in cultivation world," Lan Xichen announced his speech.

All the cultivators really know the relationship of Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao but they didn't expect Lan Xichen was taking the Chief Cultivator's place. Jin Ling noticed this and motioned two guards to bring someone in.

All of them didn't expect this at all. Jin Guangyao had his arms tied up to his back but the right hand was missing.

"SECT LEADER LAN, WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?" Su She from Moling Su Sect exclaimed loudly. Nie Huaisang clicked his tongue at it.

"Sect Leader Su, don't you think you're not too little bit innocent there?" Nie Huaisang asked him without any fear on his face. Jin Ling noticed this and immediately motioned another guards to capture Sect Leader Su. Everyone was angry as they lost their patience.

"Now, now. Let's us calm down. Don't interrupt me as I am here, as the Sect Leader of Gusu Lan, have to confess Meng Yao's crimes," Lan Xichen still maintained his smile in his face. Everyone was obediently waiting for him to confess.

"We have found out the murderer of our dear Da Ge, Chifeng Zun's murderer. It was by his own sworn brother, Meng Yao himself. He also happened to killed 2 of his family members, Madam Jin and Jin Zixuan.

Yes, you have heard me right. Meng Yao controlled her to kill herself in front of me, Jin Gongzi, Sect Leader Jiang, Luzui Jun, Xiaofu Jun, Huaisang, Wangji and Mo- Wei Qianbei last night. Da Ge's head has been found in his secret room.

As for Jin Zixuan, Jin Ling asked Wen Ning person that day. Wen Ning has proved that he was in control under someone's command instead of Yiling Laozu's command the day where Jin Zixuan passed away. Meng Yao accidentally admitted that he is indeed the one who killed Jin Zixuan.

I believe that there's still many crimes he had committed which we haven't found out yet. As for Meng Yao's punishment, he will locked in the basement until he confesses all of his crimes," as soon as Lan Xichen finished, there was a loud gossip all over the room. They could not believe that Jin Guangyao killed his own wife but still didn't trust about Jin Zixuan's matters.

"Jin Gongzi, you're actually have meet that Ghost General?"

"How could you trust him so easily?"

"Wasn't Yiling Laozu killed him?"

"Jin Gongzi, don't you know that Yiling Laozu and Wen Ning were literally your father's murderer?!"

"Sect Leader Lan, what do you mean by Wei Qianbei?"

"Wei Wuxian?! Now he dares to come back?!"

"Wei Wuxian! Show yourself out!"

Jiang Cheng had enough of it and snapped out at them, "Enough! We haven't finished yet! We're just getting started." 2 ladies immediately came in as the room fell silent.

"Sect Leader Lan, we both came here for today's matter. We have to confess something about Jin Guangyao and Madam Jin, Jin Guangshan too as you didn't know yet," one of the ladies bowed to him for the permission.

"Ah! Er Ge, these are the ladies! Yes, you were allowed to talk," Nie Huaisang closed his folding fan on his hand.

The ladies told everyone as much as they could. The more they listened to them, the more they disgusted by it. The room was filled in full of gossiping again as soon as they finished.

"You're telling me that that son of a manwhore married his own half sister?!?"

"No wonder why he wants to kill her. He killed all of his family! Even his own son!"

"That son of a manwhore must be insane. Like father like son, they both are power hungers!"

"He has the audicity to kill all of his family?! Protect the sect heir of Lanling Jin! Don't let that son of a manwhore near that child!"

"We should not let him live! Kill him!"



"..."



"I think that's already all my crimes, it has been confessed entirely-"

"Not yet, Meng Yao. You forgot your loyal dog here," Nie Huaisang cut him off and went up to Su She.

Su She had been trying to struggle himself to free but got under silence spell by Lan Xichen himself. Nie Huaisang borrowed one of the guards sword and immediately tore off his robes.

There was a loud gasped all over the room. He had Hundred Holes Curse on his chest!

"You forgot your dear cousin Jin Zixun too. Did you do this on purpose so that you can make Jin Zixun go targeting Wei Xiong and Ghost General Wen Ning and ambush them at Qiongqi Path? Jin Zixuan just wanted to invite his brother in law, man," Nie Huaisang returned the sword to the owner. Jin Ling and the rest didn't know about this at all.
