"Huh!?" Wanyin's jaws dropped after listening to the entire story about Euni and Zhiquiang capturing the snake. "So you already captured one of the snakes long ago!?"

"Yes," Euni said awkwardly while scratching her head. "Bai Cheng gave information about it."

"That jerk still met you there!?" Jin Ling gritted his teeth.

"Aiya...he apologized Jin Ling. You shouldn't get angry anymore." Euni smiled.

"Miss Zhang is really smart and behaving like an experienced cultivator." Zewu Jun uttered, amused at Euni and Zhiquiang's skills.

"I knew about this a long ago," Wuxian said casually while spinning his flute.

"Huh!? What do you know?" Zizhen's eyes almost popped out listening to Wuxian's confession.

"Even before capturing 2nd snake, I guessed that Euni has captured one of the snakes," Wuxian said confidently. "Isn't it, Lan Zhan?"

"Mn." Wangji nodded as he looked at Euni.

"Huh!?" Euni's eyes widened while jaws slacked. "How did you know about it?"

"A-Ni ah A-Ni, perhaps you are forgetting who your gege is. You can hide from everyone but Hanguang-Jun and Yiling Laozu." Wuxian chuckled making Euni stare at him with bewildered eyes. "That's the day when that clan leader of tribes challenged you, an enormous snake appeared, which is your snake, Shing. She was continuously looking at you as if it was asking for orders from you. Everyone tried to control her, stop her but she only listened to you. You just asked her to leave and she disappeared." He paused and let out a deep breath. "A spiritual creature only listens to its master. So it proves that you are her master. Moreover, that day that clan leader wanted to tell something about snakes but you stopped her saying that your pain on hand was becoming unbearable. Am I right, A-Ni?" Wuxian smiled as his eyes laid on a stunned Euni.

Euni let out a deep breath when she realized that her Wei gege caught her red-handed. "Yes. Wei gege, when you knew it since that day, then why didn't you confront me?"

"You didn't tell me because you have your own reasons. I didn't want to push you to tell me these." Wuxian smiled. "But I felt bad when you decided to take care of such a serious matter all by yourself."

"I am sorry." Euni lowered her head, feeling guilty.

"Why are you saying sorry? What you did was great A-Ni." Jiang Wanyin said with a smile.

"But I..."

"When did I say she didn't do great?" Wuxian gently hit Wanyin. "She is my kid after all."

"Yeah. All good and smart kids are yours." Jiang Wanyin rolled his eyes.

"Yeah. I am at least a better parent than you. You only raised Jin Ling while I raised Sizhui, Jingyi, Zizhen, and Euni." Wuxian said proudly while patting his chest. "I wish I could get pregnant too."

"Shameless!" Jiang Cheng snorted. "First of all you are a man for God's sake and you can not get pregnant. Secondly, you didn't raise those kids."

"Yes." Wuxian nodded. "I think I should make my own kid so that I can raise the kid of my own. Lan Zhan, cannot we make a kid together?" Wei Wuxian asked as if what he was saying was alright, making Wangji's ear turn red.

"Shut up, Wei Wuxian! You are a man!" Jiang Cheng yelled, making the birds outside fly away.

"I wish I could be a woman." Wei Wuxian pouted. "Then I would have a lot of kids and will make more in the future. Isn't it, husband?" Wuxian smiled cutely looking at his husband while Wangji turned away his face, unable to bear his shameless husband.

"A-ahh...ahm..." Euni coughed intendedly while scratching her head. "I think I am still underaged to listen to these things and...I am still single."

"Aiya...A-Ni, you know, we used to read a lot of adult books when we were 13 or 14 years old. So I think it's normal." Wuxian said casually.

"Shameless!" Wangji uttered and left the room, unable to withstand the shameless talks anymore.

"Aiiii...Lan-Lan Zhan!" Wuxian yelled but Wangji didn't stop and walked away. "He left me." Wuxian pouted, looking at his brother.

"A-Cheng, I think I need to go too." Zewu Jun smiled gently and followed Wangji.

"Why everyone is leaving us!?" Wuxian said like an innocent kid.

"Because you are seamless as fuck." Wanyin rolled his eyes.

"Tch...no one is a saint here, especially these Lan clan members. They look like gentlemen in the day but are real beasts at night." Wuxian chuckled.

"Ridiculous!" Wanyin huffed before storming off.

"Hey! Jiang Cheng! Tch...he too left me." Wuxian rolled his eyes before looking at the juniors. "Won't you guys go to your rooms?"

"Yes," Zizhen said. 

All the juniors left the room. Euni and Zhiquiang were about to leave when Wuxian stopped her.

"A-Ni, I need to talk to you alone," Wuxian said in a cold tone.

"Mn." Zhiquiang bowed to Wuxian before leaving the room.

As Zhiquiang left the room, Euni turned towards Wuxian. "Wei gege, it seems like you want to talk about something serious."

"Why didn't you tell me before that you can use the flute?" Wuxian looked sharply at Euni. "Are you learning demonic cultivation without my permission?"

"Gege, I am not learning any demonic cultivation. Actually, I learn how to play the flute when I was a kid. So I have this thing with me." Euni replied, showing her flute.

"Are you telling me the truth?" Wuxian arched his brow.

"Yes. I swear upon my flute and sword." Euni replied in a confident voice, causing Wuxian to smile a bit.

"Great." Wuxian smiled "I already knew you don't even have an idea of using demonic cultivation. I just wanted to listen to it from you." He let out a deep breath and looked at her. "I didn't ask you to stop here just to ask that."

"I know gege. You wanted to ask me about the recent attacks on us. Isn't it?" Euni smiled as if she already read Wuxian's mind.

"This is what I like about you, A-Ni. Your thinking is more or less like me and you can guess what's going on in other's mind." Wuxian shook his head in amusement. "Well, since you already guessed what I am going to talk about, so do you find anyone suspicious?"

"Wei gege, it's...well...its..."

"A-Ni, say what's going on your mind. I trust you." Wuxian said, gently putting his hand on her hair.

"I think it's someone from Gusu." Euni blurted out before averting her gaze away from Wuxian.

"What!?" Wuxian's brows got knitted together. "From Gusu?"

"Gege, I know you won't believe me. But that day when I got drunk, someone attacked us and his sword technique was somewhat like Gusu sword technique and he knew almost every move of Zhiquiang. That day when my hand got injured, that person too knew how my sword works." Euni looked at WuXian expectedly. "What's more is...I feel like I know that person but I cannot find him. I feel like he is very close to us and stays with us but we cannot find him."

"Him?" Wuxian arched his brow. "So you know that it's a man?"

"Yes," Euni replied. "His walking style, his eyes, his moves everything shows that he is a man."

"I cannot understand why they are attacking you." Wuxian huffed in frustration.

"Same here, gege. I too don't understand why they want to attack you." Euni let out a deep breath. "Everyone knows that you are Yiling Laozu and no has the strength to compete you. Moreover, you are Hanguang-Jun's husband. How can they even think of harming you?"

"That's what I too cannot understand." Wuxian asserted. "If they want to capture me, that's because of my demonic cultivation. But why they want you too?"

"Gege, I think we should remain cautious," Euni said. "We should find clues secretly without telling anyone."

"Mn." Wuxian nodded. "Don't tell what we talked about with anyone except Zhiquiang. You can tell him since he us helping you. Except him, don't open your mouth in front of anyone. It can cause hindrance in our investigation."

"Gege, you know, today while Zheng Wei carried me, I saw a wound on his leg," Euni said.

"What do you want to say?" Wuxian looked sharply at her.

"I don't think it's Zheng Wei who attacked us but that wound..." Euni paused.

"A-Ni, the wound you gave to that person isn't a small one. He cannot walk for a few days no matter how powerful he is. So I think it's not Zheng Wei." Wuxian explained. "By the way, how is your leg now?"

"It's fine gege. I applied medicine on it and it doesn't cause pain anymore." Euni smiled.

"After you go to your room, ask Zhiquiang to transfer some spiritual energy. It will cure your leg tomorrow morning." Wuxian smiled. "Don't tell me that medicine is given by your spiritual snake."

"H-How did you guess?" Euni's eyeballs almost popped out of sockets.

"Because of spiritual creatures have the power to do it," Wuxian replied. "Your leg injury wasn't a minor one but it cured in such a less time. So it means a spiritual creature helped you."

"Thank you Wei gege for helping me." Euni smiled. "I feel so comfortable after telling these things to you."

"I think you should tell everything that bothers you." Wuxian gently pinched her cheeks.

"Ai...Wei gege, it hurts." Euni pouted, rubbing the place where Wuxian pinched her.

Wuxian was about to say something, Wangji opened the door.

"Wuxian, what are you doing here?!" Wangji's voice has a tint of anger in it.

"Why does it matter Wangji?" Wuxian replied coldly. "I am talking with my sister. Is that a problem for you?"

"Wei gege, what are you saying?" Euni said worriedly. "He came to you. Go with him."

"Didn't he leave me while ago?" Wuxian said while his gaze was fixed on Wangji.

"Gege, it's..."

"Well, then stay wherever you want," Wangji said coldly before leaving.

"Hanguang-Jun..."

"Don't stop him A-Ni. Let him go." WuXian said. "Let me see how long he can stay away from me."

"But gege, he is upset," Euni said as she couldn't understand what she would do next.

"Let him be." WuXian chuckled.

"Where will you sleep tonight, Wei gege?" Euni huffed, unable to understand what was going on in WuXian's mind.

"On the roof of Lan Zhan's Jingshi." Wuxian smiled. "It has been may days since I slept on roofs. I think you should return to your room too. It's 8 pm already and you need rest."

Euni nodded and Wuxian helped her to reach her room as Euni's leg was injured and she couldn't walk perfectly. After reaching the room, she bowed to Wuxian and bade him with a good night. After WuXian had left, Euni went inside her room. As she opened the door of her room, the glow of blue butterflies gifted by Zhiquiang touched her face. With a smile, she closed the door and laid on the bed.

"Ah...it looks like I need to help WangXian tomorrow."
