Wei Wuxian stepped forward, stating that since this concerned an important marriage matter, Jiang Yanli’s opinion should be sought first. Jiang Cheng followed suit, saying that indeed, such a matter required Jiang Yanli’s consent, and it was not for others to interfere.

Jiang Yanli then expressed her gratitude for Jin Guangshan’s goodwill but stated that as a daughter of the Jiang clan, it was her duty to return to Yunmeng and rebuild Lotus Pier, making it inappropriate to discuss marriage at this time. With that, Jin Guangshan had no choice but to drop the matter.

Next, Jin Guangyao stood up and, on behalf of the Jin clan, sincerely invited all the great sects to attend the Phoenix Mountain Hunt at Jinlintai in the autumn. It was a grand event, and everyone raised their cups in agreement, expressing their commitment to attending. After the banquet, Jin Guangyao saw off the guests and then quietly went to see Jin Guangshan in a private chamber.

He reported that he had once overheard from Wen Ruohan that the last piece of Yin Iron was in Xue Yang’s possession. However, despite interacting with Xue Yang before, he had not found any Yin Iron on him, which suggested that Wei Wuxian, who had been in contact with Xue Yang, might have taken it first. Jin Guangshan had long feared the Yin Iron. He pondered carefully—Xue Yang was currently missing, and Wei Wuxian now had the Stygian Tiger Seal.

Something was definitely amiss. Thus, he instructed Jin Guangyao to closely monitor Wei Wuxian’s movements. At this time, Wei Wuxian, along with Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng, returned to Lotus Pier. However, when they pushed open the doors, the familiar and warm scene of their home was gone, replaced by ruins. Even the rooftops still bore the Wen clan’s sun emblem.

Jiang Cheng, furious, lashed out with Zidian, destroying the sun emblem in a fit of rage, venting his deep-seated hatred. Meanwhile, Lan Wangji was quietly playing his guqin when Lan Xichen came to visit. Lan Wangji expressed his desire to enter the forbidden chamber of the Library Pavilion to study the guqin music scores. Before Lan Xichen could decide whether to approve, Lan Qiren summoned them for a discussion.

Although Lan Qiren had not personally participated in the Sunshot Campaign, he was well aware of the battle’s progress. He had also heard about Wei Wuxian and believed that his cultivation path was heretical. Thus, he did not want Lan Wangji to associate with him and instead wanted him to stay in Gusu, helping to restore ancient texts and family rules.

However, Lan Wangji’s heart was not in such tasks—he knelt and earnestly pleaded for permission to enter the Library Pavilion’s forbidden chamber. Lan Qiren, maintaining his stern demeanor, did not give a clear answer, and Lan Wangji, knowing the strict family rules, dared not press further. At this time, Jiang Cheng officially assumed the position of sect leader of the Jiang clan at Lotus Pier. Wei Wuxian watched him with a heart full of relief.

From then on, Jiang Cheng began rigorously training the Jiang clan’s disciples, but Wei Wuxian remained his usual carefree self, often absent from Lotus Pier, which inevitably led to Jiang Cheng’s growing dissatisfaction. Bored, Wei Wuxian went drinking at the marketplace, where he unexpectedly ran into Lan Xichen. The two found a tavern to chat, and Wei Wuxian laughed when he learned that Lan Wangji was revising family rules.

Lan Xichen, however, solemnly informed him that Lan Wangji had been diligently studying the guqin piece "Washing Blossoms," which had a calming effect and could help Wei Wuxian if he listened to it. Only then did Wei Wuxian realize that Lan Xichen had come to persuade him. Lan Xichen earnestly continued, saying that the Gusu Lan clan could help Wei Wuxian return to sword cultivation to prevent him from straying further down a dangerous path.

Wei Wuxian’s smile froze—he rejected the Lan clan’s goodwill, insisting that although the Stygian Tiger Seal was difficult to control, he would persist in trying. Perhaps he was the rare genius meant to wield it. Wei Wuxian wobbled back to Lotus Pier, still holding his wine jar. The sight of him enraged Jiang Cheng, who couldn’t help but shove him, unexpectedly knocking him to the ground.

Jiang Cheng, unaware that Wei Wuxian no longer had a golden core and could no longer engage in combat, assumed his loss of spiritual power was due to excessive drinking. Wei Wuxian did not explain, silently enduring his frustration and grievances. Wei Wuxian then walked to the ancestral hall, where Jiang Yanli was already waiting for him. She knew he had argued with Jiang Cheng again and feared he might leave Lotus Pier for good.

Feeling a pang of emotion, Wei Wuxian leaned against Jiang Yanli’s lap and promised that he would not leave her, nor would he leave this home. Jiang Cheng, standing outside, overheard their conversation and felt a twinge of regret. He realized he had been too harsh on Wei Wuxian. When Wei Wuxian came out and saw Jiang Cheng, the two playfully bickered and soon made up. They even privately discussed Jiang Yanli’s feelings for Jin Zixuan.

Wei Wuxian was frustrated—how could his gentle, kind senior sister fall for someone as arrogant as that peacock Jin Zixuan? Thus, Wei Wuxian tried his best to live a peaceful life at Lotus Pier. Sometimes, he couldn’t help but wonder—perhaps returning to those carefree, joyful days wasn’t as impossible as it seemed.
