"I think Sect Master Nie should be happier." Zi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Nie Huaisang seriously.

Although Nie Huaisang during this period had a clever mind and some little thoughts, he had not yet experienced the pain of losing Nie Mingjue, nor had he developed that kind of deep scheming and scheming as a result.

Just like today, when he took out the Nie family secret method, he did not open it himself, and his secret relief micro-expression was keenly captured by Zimu.

This seemingly inadvertent detail gave Zimu a new understanding of Nie Huaisang.

Zimu thought: A little fox is a little fox. Even if it hasn't grown up yet, it is smarter than his jumping monkey and his seemingly calm but mostly straightforward younger brother.

Wei WuXian scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Sister, why do you say that Sect Master Nie would be happy? If I were to show the Jiang Clan's Secret Technique to others, Jiang Cheng would definitely beat me up."

Jiang Cheng sneered, “Don’t worry, Wei Wuxian, I’m not going to beat you up.”

Wei WuXian’s eyes widened in surprise, “What is that? This is not like your style, Junior Sister.”

Jiang Cheng said expressionlessly: "I promise I won't beat you to death."

Although those words contained a threatening tone, people who were familiar with them knew that this was just their unique way of getting along with each other.

"Senior sister, my junior sister is so fierce. I'm afraid of her." Wei Wuxian deliberately pretended to be pitiful and leaned towards Zimu.

Jiang Cheng frowned, looking disgusted: "Wei Wuxian, you are disgusting, how old are you and you still act like a spoiled child with your elder sister."

"You want to act like a spoiled child and I won't stop you. You must be envious." Wei Wuxian said with a grin.

"Go away and shut up." Jiang Cheng was choked by Wei Wuxian's words and shouted loudly.

“Okay.” Wei Wuxian immediately shut his mouth obediently. His well-behaved appearance formed a sharp contrast with his previous mischievousness.

Nie Huaisang laughed immediately, and his cheerful laughter echoed in the yard.

Even Lan Wangji's pair of light blue eyes lost some of their coldness, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in his eyes. He quietly watched the interaction between Wei Wuxian and the others.

Wei Wuxian was used to seeing that everyone was amused by him, so when he saw Nie Huaisang, he said, “I almost forgot about the main thing. Aren’t we supposed to help Brother Nie solve the problem of the Nie family’s sword spirit?”

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're the only one who's so startled. I don't know who was talking nonsense just now."

“Wei Ying, wait for Sect Master Nie.” Lan Wangji frowned slightly, his eyes serious.

Nie Huaisang scratched his head hesitantly: "Do I have to send a message to Big Brother?"

“Definitely.” Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng said in unison, and even Zimu and Lan Wangji nodded.

Zi Mu looked at Nie Huaisang and said earnestly, "Huaisang, this is a major event concerning the Nie family after all. As the sect leader, your eldest brother has the right to know your discovery and solution. Moreover, the one who is most familiar with this set of mental methods should be Sect Leader Nie."

Wei WuXian also echoed, “Yeah, Brother Nie, don’t waste time. Think about it, if we mess around on our own and something goes wrong, it will be hard to deal with. It’s only right to ask your eldest brother.”

Nie Huaisang was still a little worried. He bit his lip and said, "But I'm afraid that my elder brother will blame me for taking out the Nie family's mental method without permission and causing such a big commotion."

Jiang Cheng patted Nie Huaisang on the shoulder and said, "You think too much. You are doing this for the good of the Nie family. Although your eldest brother has a bad temper as the clan leader, he is also a reasonable person. He will definitely not blame you."

"Besides, there are so many of us here, we will help you explain."

Lan Wangji also nodded slightly: "Second Master Nie, don't hesitate, make a decision as soon as possible."

Nie Huaisang took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. He took out a sound transmission talisman from his arms and began to transmit the message to Nie Mingjue.

During the process of transmitting the message, his expression was a little nervous and his speech was a little stuttering.

After Nie Huaisang finished transmitting his message, everyone quietly waited for Nie Mingjue's reply.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense.

Finally, the sound transmission note lit up, and Nie Mingjue's voice came out: "Huaisang, your discovery is very important. I will set off to the Cloud Recesses immediately."

Hearing Nie Mingjue's words, Nie Huaisang breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone smiled at each other.

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “Okay, Brother Nie, you see your elder brother still trusts you and takes this matter very seriously.”

"Um"

"Okay, there's nothing else to do anyway. We'll wait until Sect Master Nie comes to look at this method. Now, Ah Xian, Ah Cheng, Second Young Master Nie, and Second Young Master Lan, you can sort out your thoughts."

"Huh? Why?"

"List the problems first, and it will be quicker to solve them one by one when Sect Master Nie arrives."

Then Zimu watched the four young men, Lan Wangji, take notes. They would discuss things from time to time, and it was a peaceful time.

However, this peaceful time was soon interrupted by the loud voice of Nie Mingjue who came in a hurry.

The first person Zimu noticed was not the big guy Nie Mingjue, but Lan Xichen, who was following him with a gentle temperament and a smile on his face.

Very good, Lan Xichen has passed today’s fake smile mission.

Before Nie Mingjue could speak, Lan Xichen glanced at the people in the courtyard and said, “Otherwise, let’s talk about it somewhere else.”

“Okay, thank you, Xichen.” Nie Mingjue also realized that this was not a good place to talk, so he readily accepted Lan Xichen’s suggestion.

Lan Xichen led a few people towards his own courtyard.

Is it time to change Zimu’s yard?

Is there any empty yard near the cold room?

Although there are a lot of people, it can be considered as bringing Zimu to my own territory, right?

Thinking of this, Lan Xichen also looked at the people following him.

Lan Xichen sometimes envied Lan Wangji. The Gusu Lan Clan abstained from alcohol and had to eat light food, but Wei Wuxian couldn't stand it, so Wei Wuxian often hid in the quiet room to drink and cook for himself.

Zi Mu didn't have much of an appetite and it looked like he had already been fasting, so even if Lan Xichen wanted to learn Lan Wangji's methods, he wouldn't have the chance.

After sitting down, Zimu thought that since Nie Huaisang had spoken first, she would not hide anything and directly asked Nie Mingjue for the knife.

"This..." Nie Huaisang glanced at his eldest brother's face cautiously.

Even though Nie Huaisang was still young when the old sect leader Nie passed away, he remembered that his father's death was due to Dao Bie's manipulation, which caused the old sect leader Nie to go insane and die prematurely during a night hunt.

The Lan family, who always had a good relationship with the Nie family, had also heard about this matter. Now that Zimu had mentioned looking at the knife, not only Nie Huaisang but also Lan Xichen were observing Nie Mingjue's expression.
