Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: I Have Acquaintances in the Heavenly Realm - Chapter 4

Xie Lian looked at Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji with a smile, thinking to himself: Are he and Hua Cheng not just like them?

Hua Cheng asked, “Gege, it has been a long time since we last visited the cultivation world. Shall we go for a stroll?”

Xie Lian replied, “Is San Lang free today?”

Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, “Accompanying Gege is the most important matter.”

Xie Lian’s earlobes began to heat up again as he whispered, “San Lang…”

Hua Cheng let out a laugh and draped an arm around Xie Lian’s shoulder. “Alright, San Lang understands.” He reached out and gently stroked Xie Lian’s hair.

Wei Wuxian watched Xie Lian and Hua Cheng with envy. One was a god and the other a ghost, yet they could stay together so openly. Why was it so difficult for him and Lan Zhan?

Simply because he practiced the Path of Heterodoxy, the Great Sects could not tolerate him. Although the truth had now come to light, he feared that being with Lan Zhan openly would only become even more difficult.

Lost in thought, Wei Wuxian couldn’t help but say, “Daozhang Xie, I truly envy you both.”

Wei Wuxian knew that once he and Lan Wangji returned, countless obstacles would be waiting for them. However, as long as he could be with Lan Wangji, no matter how great the hurdle, Wei Wuxian would trample it down!

Xie Lian straightened his posture and steadied his mind. “Young Master Wei, there is no need for envy. The two of us also went through a great deal before we could be together. You can achieve this as well.”

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, “Let the world be full of hardships; I shall simply crush them and walk my path to the end.”

In the past, when Wei Wuxian saved the Wen Ning’s kinsmen, he faced the Great Sects alone, walking the single-plank bridge into the darkness without fear. Now, with Lan Wangji by his side, what was there to fear?

Xie Lian said, “Indeed. As long as two hearts are connected as one, not even life or death can separate them, let alone the opinions of the world.”

“Daozhang Xie is right!” Wei Wuxian agreed. He then turned to Lan Wangji and said, “Lan Zhan, at such a happy moment, I really want to drink Emperor’s Smile!”

Lan Wangji reached into his Qiankun bag and produced a jar of Emperor’s Smile, handing it to Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian’s mouth dropped open in shock. “Lan Zhan! You actually brought Emperor’s Smile with you? Hahahaha! If your uncle found out, he would be so angry he’d beat me to death!”

Lan Wangji replied, “He will not.”

Wei Wuxian laughed heartily, tilted his head back, and took a swig of the liquor. “Daozhang Xie, do you drink? This Emperor’s Smile is delicious. Would you like to try some?”

Xie Lian smiled and shook his head. “The path I follow forbids alcohol. I appreciate the kind offer, Young Master Wei.”

Wei Wuxian said, “That’s a pity! Hahahaha, this wine is truly excellent.”

He took another gulp and asked, “Daozhang Xie, shall we go night-hunting together?”

Xie Lian looked up at Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng smiled and nodded. “If Gege wishes to go, then go. San Lang will accompany you.”

Xie Lian nodded. “Very well.”

He then turned back to Wei Wuxian. “San Lang and I haven’t been to the cultivation world in a long time. Since we have nothing pressing today, we shall impose upon Young Master Wei and Young Master Lan.”

Wei Wuxian tilted his head back and drained the jar of Emperor’s Smile in one go. He tossed the empty jar behind him and said happily, “It’s no imposition at all! I still have so, so many questions I want to ask Daozhang Xie. Let’s go, let’s go!”

As he spoke, he bounced over to Xie Lian’s side and casually draped an arm over Xie Lian’s shoulder.

Hua Cheng cast a cold glance at Wei Wuxian’s hand and stared him down chillingly.

Wei Wuxian clearly felt two icy gazes piercing through him, and he suddenly felt a shiver of cold.

Lan Wangji’s face darkened as he called out, “Wei Ying.”

Wei Wuxian gave a sheepish laugh. “Hehehe, my apologies, Daozhang Xie. I tend to get carried away when I’m happy.”

He withdrew his hand and walked back to Lan Wangji’s side.

Xie Lian gave a faint smile and said, “Young Master Wei’s free-spirited and lively personality reminds me of a friend.”

Wei Wuxian asked curiously, “Who? Is it also a Heavenly Official?”

Xie Lian replied with a smile, “If there is an opportunity in the future, I believe Young Master Wei will meet him.”
