Jin Ling was finally here but... He rather looked calmer than he was supposed to be but still annoyed at the people who fell into his trap. Wei Wuxian tried to figure out what happened while he secretly watching his martial nephew behind the bushes.

"Ugh, c'mon. I just need to catch the spirit consuming beast to make my shigu, shishu and jiujiu proud. Tch, get away from here and never go outside at night again! I need to make this quick," Jin Ling said annoyingly as he tore down his traps for the people to free.

Hmm? The last time Wei Wuxian could remember was that he chose to ignore the trapped people's help and focused on catching the spirit consuming beast instead. As they already gone, Wei Wuxian decided to show up by making noises behind the bushes.

"OI- Oh, why are you even here? Aren't you suppose to be in your village? Get out of here! I have no time to deal with you damn cutsleeve," Jin Ling said as he shooed him out of here. HUH?! Since when did he change? He was more ruder in his memories.

"Oh? Aren't all Young Masters must take care of their reputation for their sect? Who even teach you to become this rude?" Wei Wuxian changed his response for not triggering his anger.

"No one and I will become whoever I want to. It's not like your business anyways so get out of here and go back to your village," Jin Ling said as he got more pissed off.

"JIN LING, Oh- there you are," a lady's voice could be heard. Wait, she sounded like his shijie. She's still alive..?

He was on his own world as he didn't notice the lady was ruffling Jin Ling's hair. A man also stood by her side. Wait, wait a minute... He didn't even remember if this actually happened because... THEY WERE NEW PEOPLE? He was actually too stunned to see their appearance after he noticed them properly. This was actually not happening in his memories, what the hell?

He did not expect to see two new people instead of Jiang Cheng. Where did he all go wrong? What even more worse was that, that man exactly looked like his original appearance but slightly paler and shorter yet stronger than him while the lady besides him looked like his shijie!

This lady was actually stronger and taller than his shijie while this man had spiritual polearm instead of spiritual sword like this lady. His robes did represent from Yunmeng Jiang as he also had clarity bell on his belt but more into black theme colour, only a little bit of purple-red.

His hair was only reached his shoulder level, simple half tied hairstyle just like Yiling Laozu hairstyle but shorter and had a white streaks on the front. Just who the hell were they?

"Jin Shizhi, here you are. What are you even doing here? Nighthunt? Of course not because your Uncle Jiang told us to have dinner together, remember?" the lady said as she patted his back. The man smiled warmly to them. Hey! Wei Wuxian was here!

"JIN LING. I told you no NIGHTHUNT today. Did you FORGET it was your Lixuan shigu's BIRTHDAY? HMM?" Jiang Cheng finally could be heard as he approached them three. He had Zidian on his hand as he wanted to break Jin Ling's leg for forgetting his martial aunt's birthday. Since when, what?

"EH? REALLY? I DIDN'T KNOW THE DATE TODAY, I'M SO SORRY SHIGU," he apologies to her instead of Jiang Cheng, pfft. So that was his martial aunt Jiang Lixuan?

"Aiyaaa, look at you being determined to nighthunt every night. Stop for once and let's go back already. I want to eat my cake," she said as she dragged his wrist and the man's wrist in excitement. Jiang Cheng only faked pouting at her and tugged the man's sleeve instead. The man still had same response by giving him a soft and warm smile... Oh, he's actually happy? New family? If he's happy with his new family then... Wei Wuxian would happy for him too.

It hit him. He actually did not remember these people as Jiang Cheng's new family in his memories. Besides, he could see her as his shijie while the man as himself. They were more happier than previous Jiang siblings. Who were they..?

It hit him again. He supposed to make scene for Lan Wangji's appearance. Ahhh, how could he forget about this part?

He didn't notice they already disappeared while someone approached him from behind, Lan Wangji.

"Wei Ying," Lan Wangji said as he caught his wrist, just like the first time they met after 13 years.

"You're my Lan Zhan, correct? Where are Sizhui and the rest?" Wei Wuxian said as he turned his body to look at him.

"Sent them back earlier. Know Wei Ying is here," he said and gave him a sudden short and yet passionate kiss as he missed him so much. Wei Wuxian accepted it with his all heart.

"Let's go back to Gusu and talk about this to Zewu Jun about Meng Yao tomorrow, alright?" he said as he hugged him like koala.

"Mn," he hugged him back and kiss his hair. Wei Wuxian looked up just to find him smiling warmly at him.

"Aiyaaa, I told you to leave this poor heart alone. How could you?" Wei Wuxian half shyly scolding because he just wanted to hide his face on his chest. This only made Lan Wangji's heart warmer.

"Jin Shizhi, who is that man earlier and why did he stare at us like he met us before?" Jiang Lixuan asked her martial nephew while knitting one of her eyebrows. Jiang Xianzhan only leaned his torso forward a bit while his hands on his back to look at them properly as he also wanted to know. Jiang Cheng only crossed his arms.

"Pfft, of course he knows the Twin Prides of Yunmeng Jiang. Don't need to care about him so much. He's the one who harassed Uncle Jin who is actually his half brother by the way. He's indeed digusted by us Jin," Jin Ling stated while having disgusted expression on his face.

"I... am speechless," Jiang Xianzhan said as Jiang Cheng patted his back lightly. He also couldn't believe it.

They went back to Lotus Pier to celebrate their Maiden Jiang's birthday. The Jiang disciples immediately wished her happy birthday after they got back.

They only held a small party for themselves as she was too 'old' to hold a birthday party. They drank just for her after celebrating it. Little did they know that their Maiden Jiang had high tolerance for alcohol while their Sect Leader Jiang and Senior Jiang had mid-high tolerance for alcohol. Jin Ling was also joining them as he was 15, wanted to taste how the alcohol like.
