Chapter 1042 [The Untamed 16]
After a lot of hard work, Wei Wuxian finally finished copying the house rules. He stood in front of Lan Wangji like a primary school student, holding a painting in his hand. The protagonist of the painting was Lan Wangji, but Wei Wuxian specially added a bunch of bright flowers at the temples of the portrait.
However, Lan Wangji still had that same icy face that hadn't changed for thousands of years, looking at Wei Wuxian expressionlessly, scolding him for being extremely boring. Then, Lan Wangji put down the portrait, opened the book at hand, and prepared to continue reading.
But he never expected that the book had been secretly replaced by Wei Wuxian with a book of pornographic pictures. The moment Lan Wangji turned the page, the disgusting scene immediately caught his eyes. He felt as if he was burned by fire, his hands shook violently, and he quickly threw the book away.
Lan Wangji's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He stood up angrily, pointed at Wei Wuxian and shouted, "You shameless guy!" His voice was trembling with anger.
Seeing this, Wei Wuxian not only did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but instead started to act like a scoundrel with a playful smile on his face. He confidently said, "Fighting is prohibited in the Cloud Recesses, Brother Lan, you must not break the house rules!"
Lan Wangji was so angry at Wei Wuxian that his face turned red, and his chest rose and fell violently. It was obvious that he had reached the limit of his patience. Finally, he tore the erotic picture book into pieces in anger, as if this could slightly calm his anger.
……
In the Cloud Recesses, many students followed strict rules and lived separately for men and women. The distance between the men's and women's dormitories was so great that it seemed like two completely independent worlds.
That day, Youyou gathered Wei Wuxian and the others together. After everyone sat down, Youyou looked at Wei Wuxian with a serious face and said, "Wuxian, after you came here, you were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and you completely let yourself go. Do you know what this means? You are a typical naughty child! Lan Wangji has already complained to me, why do you pick on him and tease him?"
Wei WuXian listened to YouYou's words and smiled disapprovingly, explaining, "Sister, I just wanted to tease that Ice Face. He's so boring all day long, it makes me upset just looking at him. And Sister, I feel that the lessons these teachers give are too simple, I've already known them all, and I don't want to listen to them anymore."
Youyou was obviously not satisfied with Wei Wuxian’s explanation. She frowned and continued, “Wei Wuxian, you still don’t know your mistake! Jiang Cheng, you have to keep a close eye on him. And Xue Yang, Jin Guangyao, you all live with him, you must keep an eye on him and don’t let him do anything wrong. If someone doesn’t like him one day and puts a sack on him and beats him up, that will be troublesome!”
“No way, I was just joking with them. Who would be so bored as to go out of their way to cause trouble for me and even put a sack on me? These people are too petty! And I don’t think anyone would do such a tasteless thing.” Wei Wuxian said in disbelief.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him just looked at him silently, and no one responded.
Wei WuXian couldn't help but frown upon seeing this, muttering to himself, "Could there really be such a person? This is too wicked!"
At this moment, Jin Guangyao suddenly said, "You think others are immoral, but what about you, Brother Wei? You drew turtles on other people's backs, and a few days ago you put bugs into the Master's cup, and the Master almost drank it. These things are really..." As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he was quite dissatisfied with Wei Wuxian's behavior.
Upon hearing this, Wei WuXian immediately muttered with a guilty conscience, “How could I have that? It was my Madam who asked me to copy so many books, and she also asked that icy-faced guy to keep an eye on me and not let me slack off.”
Although his voice was not loud, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Seeing this, Jiang Yanli couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed: "Junior Brother Wuxian, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I never saw it before!"
"Xue Yang, Jin Guangyao, Jiang Cheng, at least one of you three follows Wei Wuxian every day. I'm afraid that if I don't take care of him, he will make a hole in the sky." Youyou said seriously.
"Yes." Xue Yang, Jin Guangyao and Jiang Cheng responded in unison.
Hearing this, Wei Wuxian immediately became anxious. He quickly ran to Youyou, grabbed her sleeve, and said coquettishly, “Senior sister, please don’t do this. I promise I won’t do this again next time. Senior sister, please don’t let the brothers follow me. I really don’t want to be stared at. Senior sister, please don’t do this.”
Youyou looked at Wei Wuxian, sighed helplessly, and asked, "What can you guarantee?"
Wei WuXian answered without hesitation: "I'll use my own body as a guarantee."
Youyou raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at him with a smile, and asked back: "Look who here believes you."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian quickly looked at Jiang Cheng, hoping that he could say something for him. However, Jiang Cheng turned his head away as if he hadn't seen him. Wei Wuxian then turned his gaze to Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao, only to see that one of them was looking up at the sky, while the other was looking down at the ground, refusing to even look at him.
Wei Wuxian was really helpless now, he knew that he was really helpless this time. Just when he felt desperate, he suddenly saw Jiang Yanli, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.
Jiang Yanli looked at Wei Wuxian and smiled gently. Wei Wuxian was delighted when he saw this, thinking that Jiang Yanli would speak for him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanli shook her head the next second, shattering his hopes instantly.
“I think Junior Brother Wuxian, your temper is really a headache.” Jiang Yanli looked at Wei Wuxian in front of her and sighed helplessly, “Someone still needs to take care of you.”
When Wei Wuxian heard this, he was immediately unhappy. He blinked his eyes, looked at Jiang Yanli with grievance, and muttered: "Senior Sister Jiang, I am your most beloved junior brother, how can you say that?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yanli raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Oh? Really? That doesn't have to be the case."
When Wei Wuxian heard this, he was struck by lightning. His eyes widened and he looked at Jiang Yanli in disbelief, as if he had suffered a great blow. "Senior Sister Jiang, you...you actually said such a thing! Have you ever let my sincerity down?" As he spoke, he pretended to cover his chest with his hands, looking heartbroken.
“Tsk tsk tsk, Wei Wuxian, oh Wei Wuxian, your words really make me think a lot!” Youyou raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looking at Wei Wuxian with a smile, “Let me ask you, did you only say these sweet words to your senior sister Jiang, or did you say them to other girls as well?”
Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian blushed and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Of course I only told Senior Sister Jiang!" His voice trembled slightly, as if he was afraid that Youyou wouldn't believe it.
However, at this moment, Xue Yang suddenly interrupted and said, "Brother Wei, this is a bit unfair, isn't it? I remember that when you asked me to borrow money a few days ago, you seemed to have said something similar."
Upon hearing this, Wei WuXian's expression instantly turned awkward. He glared at Xue Yang and said with a perfunctory voice, "No, how could that be? Junior Brother Xue, you must have remembered it wrongly!"
Youyou watched Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang arguing with each other and couldn't help but find it a little funny. She coughed lightly, interrupting the argument between the two and said, "Okay, both of you stop arguing. No matter what, Wei Wuxian, remember this, don't say this kind of thing to other girls again, understand?"
Wei WuXian nodded quickly and said, “Yes, Senior Sister, I understand.”
Youyou nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the others and said, "Alright, all of you go back to practice. Remember, keep an eye on Wei Wuxian and don't let him get into trouble again."
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison, then turned and left, leaving Wei Wuxian standing there with a helpless look on his face.
Seeing Wei Wuxian still standing there, Youyou teased, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to stay for dinner?"
“No… no, I’ll leave now.” Wei Wuxian left quickly.
……
Wen Ning looked at his sister, and a trace of worry welled up in his heart. Since coming to Gusu, his sister has become taciturn, as if she has something on her mind. She often stares blankly by herself, with a confused look in her eyes, as if she is looking for something important.
Wen Qing frowned tightly, her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She certainly remembered clearly the order Wen Ruohan gave her - to find the Yin Iron. This was a difficult task, she didn't know where to start, nor did she know where the Yin Iron was hidden.
Wen Ning was sensible and noticed that his sister was in a low mood. Although he was still young, he could feel the pressure on his sister. He did not ask his sister what she was looking for, but just stayed by her side silently, giving her some comfort with his innocent eyes.
She gently stroked her brother's head, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. She knew that her brother's health had always been poor, and her family had been practicing medicine for generations, but they had never been able to cure his illness. She often blamed herself for this, feeling that she was incompetent and could not let her brother grow up healthy and happy like other children.
She secretly made up her mind that she must find the Yin Iron no matter what, as this might be the only hope to save her brother. However, she also understood that it would not be easy to complete this task, and she might even face great danger. But for her brother, she was willing to give everything.
She sighed deeply, knowing that sooner or later, she might have to take her brother away from Nevernight to find a safer place where they could live better.
