The Untamed ( Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan )
Chapter 112 : Memories
Nie MingJue sat down, "If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything." He put the other saber in his hand onto the table. Lan XiChen smiled as he saw it, "HuaiSang's saber?"
Nie MingJue, "Even though he's safe there with you, he shouldn't neglect his studies either. Tell others to supervise him when they're free. Next time we meet, I'll examine his saber and heart scriptures."
Lan XiChen took Nie HuaiSang's saber into his qiankun sleeve, "HuaiSang has been using the excuse that he left his saber at home. Now he will have no excuses for lazing around."
Nie MingJue, "Speaking of it, what, have you met before?"
Meng Yao, "ZeWu-Jun, I've met him before."
Nie MingJue, "Where? When?"
Lan XiChen smiled as he shook his head, "Let us not talk about it. It is the shame of a lifetime. MingJue-xiong, please do not ask any further."
Nie MingJue, "Why would you be afraid of losing face in front of me? Meng Yao, speak."
Meng Yao, "If ZeWu-Jun doesn't want to say it, then I'll have to keep the secret as well."
The three chatted back and forth, at times serious, yet at times light. The conversation was much more relaxed than when they had been in the living room. Listening to their chatter, Wei WuXian often wanted to get a word in as well, yet he was unable to do so.
He thought to himself, At this point in time, their relationship really isn't bad. ZeWu-Jun is actually quite good at holding conversations, so why is Lan Zhan so bad at it? Well, although this is the case, being quiet is great as well. I do all the talking, and he can just listen along and add in a few 'mnn'-s. What was this called again... A few days later, carrying Nie MingJue's recommendation letter, Meng Yao set off toward Langya.
After he left, Nie MingJue switched to
another deputy. Wei WuXian, however, felt that the new one was always a few beats slower. Meng Yao was an unusually clever talent. He could understand what wasn't said, and perform to the best with the simplest orders. He was efficient and never slacked. Anyone used to him wouldn't be able to refrain from comparing him with others.
Some time later, the LanlingJin Sect in Langya was on the verge of collapse, having already been barely managing.
Lan XiChen just happened to be assisting another area. Jin GuangShan asked for help from Hejian, and Nie MingJue arrived shortly afterward. As the battle finished, Jin GuangShan came to express his thanks, still in a
terrible state. Nie MingJue talked with him in a curt manner, then quickly began, Leader Jin, what's Meng Yao doing nowadays?"
"Sect Hearing him mention the name, Jin GuangShan replied, "Meng Yao? Uh... Sect Leader Nie, I don't mean any offense, but who is he again?"
