The crowd was abuzz with discussion. If Jin Guangyao wanted to secure his position within the Jin Clan, he needed the strong support of his father-in-law, Qin Cangye. That was why he went against all moral boundaries and married his own sister, Qin Su. With this realization, everyone finally understood why rumors had spread that Jin Guangyao had ruthlessly killed his own child.

Since a child born from siblings had a high probability of being mentally impaired, Jin Guangyao must have feared the judgment of others, leading him to kill the child and shift the blame onto someone else. Wei Wuxian realized that the person who had revealed the truth to Qin Su must have been Bi Cao. However, he couldn't understand why, after keeping the secret for so many years, she suddenly decided to expose it now.

A trace of panic flashed across Bi Cao’s face as she stammered that she had only come forward after hearing about Qin Su’s tragic death at Jinlintai, wanting to seek justice for her mistress. The other noble clans were furious, but Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji still found many suspicious points. First, Jin Guangyao was ruthless—why had he spared Sisi? Even though there were now eyewitnesses, there was still no physical evidence. However, the others did not share their doubts.

They had already deemed Jin Guangyao a monstrous villain who killed his father, brother, son, master, and friends. They were certain that he was behind the deaths of Nie Mingjue and Jin Zixuan as well. The crowd grew more and more enraged, vowing to storm Jinlintai and bring Jin Guangyao to justice. Wei Wuxian only felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

Just days ago, Jin Guangyao had been widely praised as the revered Lianfang-zun, yet now he had become a target of universal condemnation. As Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji discussed the situation in the corridor, they wondered who had orchestrated Sisi and Bi Cao’s revelations. Whoever it was must have had a mind as calculating as Jin Guangyao’s. For now, it was difficult to determine the true motives of the mastermind, but Jin Guangyao’s crimes were undeniable.

Lan Wangji decided to send an urgent message to Lan Xichen, warning him to be extra cautious. The two of them continued walking and arrived outside the Jiang Clan's ancestral hall. After some hesitation, Wei Wuxian ultimately followed Lan Wangji inside to pay respects to Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan. At that moment, Jiang Cheng stormed in angrily, accusing Wei Wuxian of having no right to step into the Jiang Clan's ancestral hall.

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s harsh words, Lan Wangji became furious and was ready to act, but Wei Wuxian quickly stopped him. However, Jiang Cheng refused to let the matter go, berating Wei Wuxian for endangering the Jiang Clan when he tried to play the hero for Lan Wangji, causing the clan’s downfall. He also blamed Wei Wuxian for saving the Wen Clan remnants, which led to the deaths of Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan.

Now, Wei Wuxian had the audacity to bring Wen Ning and Lan Wangji to Lotus Pier—it was absolutely unforgivable. Wei Wuxian, seeing Jiang Cheng targeting Lan Wangji, sternly demanded that he apologize. He even grabbed Jiang Cheng by the collar but ultimately let go, realizing they were in the ancestral hall. With a heavy heart, he left with Lan Wangji. Furious, Jiang Cheng chased after them, drawing Zidian and preparing to fight.

Wei Wuxian, having lost his golden core and just endured a fierce battle, was too weak—he began bleeding from his nose and collapsed. Wen Ning rushed over and took several lashes from Zidian but bit his lip and handed Suibian to Jiang Cheng, telling him to draw the sword. Driven to desperation, Jiang Cheng gripped the hilt and pulled hard—Suibian unsheathed itself effortlessly. Both Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji were stunned.

Finally, Wen Ning revealed the truth—inside Jiang Cheng’s body was Wei Wuxian’s golden core. That was why Suibian had recognized him as its master. Jiang Cheng was utterly shattered, screaming in denial. Wen Ning then described in detail what had happened on the mountain that day. Only then did Jiang Cheng realize the truth—his golden core had never been restored. Instead, Wen Qing had extracted Wei Wuxian’s golden core and transferred it to him. Jiang Cheng was in unbearable agony.

No wonder Wei Wuxian never carried a sword anymore. No wonder he had resorted to practicing demonic cultivation. It was because he had no golden core and had no other path left. Lan Wangji listened intently, his eyes widening in shock as he turned to the unconscious Wei Wuxian. To have one's golden core removed—how excruciating must that have been? A deep ache filled Lan Wangji’s heart, and before he realized it, tears streamed down his face.

He carefully lifted Wei Wuxian and carried him away. Wen Ning handed Suibian to Jiang Cheng, telling him that if he still refused to believe, he could try letting someone else draw the sword and see if they succeeded. Jiang Cheng was on the verge of breaking down. He snatched Suibian and ran off, shouting incoherently. Wen Ning and Lan Wangji took Wei Wuxian onto a boat.

Wen Ning thanked Lan Wangji for taking care of Wen Yuan, and only then did Lan Wangji reveal the truth. Years ago, he had gone to the Burial Mounds searching for Wei Wuxian but instead found a sick and feverish Wen Yuan hiding in a cave. Seeing the child in such dire condition, Lan Wangji had taken him back to Gusu to care for and raise him.

Trembling, Lan Wangji asked Wen Ning if the process of removing a golden core was painful. Wen Ning nodded. To ensure the quality of the golden core remained unaffected, Wei Wuxian had undergone the entire procedure without anesthetics—fully conscious. He had endured two days and nights of unimaginable suffering as his once-vibrant spiritual energy drained away, leaving him powerless. Yet, he never wavered. Lan Wangji felt a whirlwind of emotions surge through him.

He recalled how he had once questioned Wei Wuxian about practicing demonic cultivation, never realizing the immense sacrifice he had borne. At that moment, Wei Wuxian finally awoke. Lan Wangji, keeping his promise to Wen Ning, did not tell him that Jiang Cheng had learned the truth. Wei Wuxian stared blankly at the lotus-filled lake before them, and for a moment, he seemed to see Jiang Yanli sitting at the bow, smiling and calling him over to eat lotus seeds.

His nose tingled, and he instinctively reached out to pluck a fresh lotus pod, peeling it open. The lotus fields here belonged to someone, but for once, Lan Wangji did not stop him. Instead, he sat beside Wei Wuxian, peeling and eating lotus seeds with him. The three of them enjoyed the moment together. Just then, a messenger butterfly arrived with urgent news—Jin Guangyao had come to Yunmeng. A thought suddenly struck Wei Wuxian.

He recalled seeing a land deed in Jin Guangyao’s secret chamber, which mentioned a property in Yunping City, Yunmeng. It seemed likely that Jin Guangyao would head there. Without hesitation, the three of them set off immediately and soon arrived at their destination. On the streets of Yunping City, a group of thugs was harassing Wen Ning. Seeing this, Wei Wuxian conjured an illusion of countless butterflies, using them to distract the troublemakers and help Wen Ning escape.
