TFOD Chapter 75

“How are you?”

Jiang Yanli said, “Thank you, madam, I’m fine.”

Madam Jin was very perceptive and said, “Did that dead brat bully you again?”

Jiang Yanli quickly said, “No.”

Jin Zixuan moved slightly, wanting to say something but stopping. Madam Jin knew her son’s personality well. She guessed what had happened and immediately flew into a rage, scolding her son, “Jin Zixuan! Do you want to die?! What did you say to me before you came out?!”

Jin Zixuan said, “I!…”

Wei Wuxian said, “Regardless of what your son said to you before, Madam Jin, from now on, he and my sister can go their separate ways!”

He was in a fit of anger, and his words were not very polite. Fortunately, Madam Jin was only concerned about comforting Jiang Yanli and didn’t dwell on it. But, while she didn’t care, someone else took the opportunity to lash out. Jin Zixun shouted, “Wei Wuxian, my aunt is your elder, isn’t it a bit too arrogant for you to speak like that?”

Others thought he had a point and chimed in. Wei Wuxian said, “I’m not targeting Madam Jin. Your cousin has repeatedly spoken harshly to my sister. If the Yunmeng Jiang Sect can still tolerate it, then we don’t deserve to be called a cultivation clan! Where is the arrogance?”

Jin Zixun sneered, “Where is the arrogance? What part of you isn’t arrogant? On this great day of the Hundred Clan Hunt, you’ve really shown off, haven’t you? You’ve taken three-tenths of the prey all by yourself, are you feeling very pleased with yourself?”

Lan Wangji slightly turned his head and said, “Three-tenths of the prey?”

Although the hundred or so people who came with Jin Zixun all had resentful looks on their faces, they saw that Lan Wangji, who was rumored to have a very bad relationship with Wei Wuxian, had spoken, seemingly asking a question. Immediately, someone couldn’t wait to say, “Hanguang-Jun, you don’t know, do you? Just now, we were hunting in Baifeng Mountain. We searched for a long time but discovered that there wasn’t a single fierce corpse or resentful spirit in the entire hunting ground!”

“We sent someone to ask Lianfang-Zun at the viewing platform and learned that less than half an hour after the hunt began, a flute sound came from Baifeng Mountain. Then, almost all the fierce corpses and resentful spirits, one after another, walked themselves into the Yunmeng Jiang Sect’s camp!”

“The three major categories of prey in Baifeng Mountain, now only demonic and strange creatures are left…”

“As for ghosts, they’ve all been summoned away by Wei Wuxian alone…”

Jin Zixun said, “You completely disregard others and only care about yourself, isn’t that arrogant enough?”

Wei Wuxian suddenly understood. In the end, they were just using this as an excuse to pick a fight. He laughed and said, “Wasn’t it you who said that the opening arrow didn’t mean anything, that real skill was shown on the night hunt?”

Jin Zixun “ha”ed as if he found it ridiculous, saying, “You’re only relying on demonic tricks, not true skill. You’re just blowing a few notes on a flute, how can that be considered real skill?”

Wei Wuxian said strangely, “I didn’t use any schemes or plots, why doesn’t it count? You can also blow a few notes on a flute and see if any fierce corpses or resentful spirits are willing to follow you?”

Jin Zixun said, “Your lack of adherence to rules is not much better than using schemes or plots!”

Hearing this, Lan Wangji frowned. Madam Jin seemed to notice the dispute over here just now and said calmly, “Zixun, that’s enough.”

Wei Wuxian was too lazy to argue with him and said with a smile, “Alright, I don’t know what is considered real skill anymore, please show me what it is to win against me and broaden my horizons.”

If he could win, Jin Zixun wouldn’t be so frustrated right now. He choked for a moment, getting angrier the more he thought about it, and mocked, “But it’s not surprising that you don’t think you’re wrong. Young Master Wei not following the rules isn’t the first time. You didn’t wear a sword at the last flower banquet and you’re not wearing one at this hunt either. Such a big occasion, and you don’t pay any attention to etiquette, where do you place us people who attend with you?”

Wei Wuxian ignored him, turned his head towards Lan Wangji, and said, “Lan Zhan, I forgot to say, thank you for blocking that sword for me just now.”

Seeing that Wei Wuxian was completely ignoring him, Jin Zixun grit his teeth and said, “The upbringing of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect is only so-so!”

The author has something to say: Yes. It’s another flashback.

And it’s a brand-new flashback (Ah!)
