Wei Wuxian gave one last look at Lan Wangji who stood by him, heaved a deep sigh in and finally wrote something in the air on a blank talisman.

Which read, 'The show begins now'. And then with a snap of his fingers, the talisman burnt into ashes and a huge screen like something appeared out of nowhere and on it displayed all the crimes of Jin Guanyao.

It first displayed how Su She killed Madam Lan by Cange Sanren's sword and how he put a talisman on it so that only Cangse Sanren's hand print would be on it. And then it showed how Jin Guanyao stabbed Lan Wangji in the Burial Mounds. It went on and on and Wei Wuxian was finally satisfied for proving his mother's innocence.

Looking at the screen in front of them, none had their mouths closed. Everyone's eyes were widened with horror and surprise and disbelief was clearly written on their faces. No one could believe their eyes! Was it a dream?!

"What the hell?"

"Jim Guanyao, what's all this?"

"We never imagined you to be so... Disgusting!"

"How long have you been hiding this face of yours?"

"How could you be so cruel?"

More and more comments followed and Jim Guanyao could not have any other options but to accept it. He was finally proved guilty and he knew very well that now he had no means for escape. Everything was over! His game was over!

Jin Guanyao clenched his fists and glared at Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji who stood right infront of him, together! Jin Guanyao could not take that sigh in. It must be him standing beside Wei Wuxian and not Lan Wangji. It should have been only him fir whom Wei Wuxian would do anything and not Lan Wangji. But... It had never been the way it must be. Nothing had been the way it must have been! Nothing!

Now that he knew that he could no longer med the things into the way he wanted, he might as well do his best to destroy everything. He'd rather kill Wei Wuxian than let him live with Lan Wangji!

With that on mind, Jin Guanyao crawled closer to Wei Wuxian, not at all acknowledging the disgusting comments thrown at him. He clutched onto Wei Wuxian's leg and held him tight. Wei Wuxian who felt a sharp hold on his leg, looked down only to see Jin Guanyao clutching onto him.

Before Wei Wuxian could even react, Lan Wangji had already kicked Jin Guanyao away from Wei Wuxian and at that angry sight of Lan Wangji made Wei Wuxian huffed in laughter.

It was then that Wei Wuxian remembered that he still could not speak and was under the silencing spell of Jin Guanyao so he took out another blank talisman, wrote something on it and showed it to Jin Guanyao, which read,

'I still have something to tell you. Do you want to listen?'

Looking at the unconvinced look of Jin Guanyao, Wei Wuxian continued his writing and showed it again,

'You can choose not to take off the silencing spell on me but soon after your death, the spell will wade off on its own. So which is better? Listening to me one last time or dying straight away?'

Jin Guanyao sighed. Wei Wuxian was true. The silencing spell is of no use any more. The truth has been exposed already.

With a snap of his fingers, Jin Guanyao took off the silencing spell from Wei Wuxian and indicated that it was done.

Being taken off the talisman, Wei Wuxian began coughing.

"Wei Ying, are you OK?" Lan Wangji asked full of concern.

Wei Wuxian smiled assuring that he was alright. And then, when the cough slowed down, he turned to Jin Guanyao and said,

"Do you now want to know what I wanted to tell you?"

Jin Guanyao nodded. Wei Wuxian smirked.

"I have one last wish. And I want to fulfil it now. This is what I wanted to tell you."

"What...what wish?" Jin Guanyao asked.

"I want to see you and your partner in crime, Su She, dead."

Jin Guanyao's breath hitched and so was to Su She.

Before Jin Guanyao could even respond, Su She had already fallen on knees, pleading for mercy.

"I am sorry. I am really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt any of you. I just... I just helped him because he thr.. threatened me... Please forgive me... Please..."

"Forgive you?!" A cultivator exclaimed. "Why didn't you think of all this before committing the sin? Because of you, innocents were punished. Now, you have to real what you sow!"

"No... Please...." Su She pleaded but everyone turned a deaf ear on him.

Lan Qiren who had been watching the whole thing, finally spoke.

"Wei Wuxian... I... We are sorry for what we did. We really are. We..."

"Master Lan," Wei Wuxian interrupted, "Let's talk of the important things now. Since I have proved my mother's innocence and proved the real culprit of all his crimes, I hope that Gusu Lan won't stop me in executing him, would you?"

"Wei...." Lan Qiren began but Lan Xichen beat him.

With a cold voice, Lan Xichen said,

"Whoever it is, wrong is wrong. He will be punished accordingly."

Lan Wangji could see the hurt and pain on Lan Xichen's eyes but he was helpless. He knew how hard it would be for his brother but it was too late.

Jin Guanyao tried to hold onto Lan Xichen and pleaded for mercy. But Lan Xichen took no heed of him.

Su She, unable to do anything, no longer begged fir mercy but kept on spilling out more and more secrets of Jin Guanyao saying that he did not deserve the same punishment as him which was, execution. But unfortunately, he too was not taken for attention by anyone.

Later that day, under the witness of the whole cultivation world, Jin Guanyao was executed by the Yilling Patriarch and Su She was executed by the Hanguang Jun.

Although it was unexpected, at the end of the day, not a single cultivator spoke of the day's incidece for they thought Jin Guanyao and Su She were not worthy to be spoken of.

Wei Wuxian could not understand how a few minutes were enough to change everything and especially everyone. He remembered how they had acted to his family that day when Madam Lan was murdered but how everyone praised him for being such a good person. Although they used more words to describe him, Wei Wuxian knew sooner or later, if someone else influenced them, they still would turn their backs on him.

After all, this was life. Nothing was permanent. Nothing would last. At the end, it would be just himself, all alone.

Or, would he?

Wei Wuxian turned around just to find Lan Wangji standing beside him, as if he had been waiting for him.

Wei Wuxian could not word out the way how he felt then and he just smiled as if it would make Lan Wangji understand how he was feeling right now.

And as expected, Lan Wangji smiled at him back.

"Wei Ying," Lan Wangji said, holding out his hand for Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian clasped his hand with Lan Wangji's and said, full of emotions,

"Lan Zhan,"

"Let's go?"

"Let's go."
