When Lu Xian came over to visit, he only saw that Xie Wei was already sitting by the window, gazing out at the scenery.

The sky was dim, and lamps were lit inside the room.

He walked in from outside completely unprepared, opening his mouth to speak with Xie Wei. Who would have thought that when his gaze shifted, he would actually catch sight of blood all over the floor? Illuminated by the flickering dim yellow lamplight, it looked extremely grotesque. On the table usually used for brewing tea, there was even a corpse pinned there with eyes still wide open in death!

Lu Xian’s entire face paled. His body swayed unsteadily, his head felt dizzy and heavy, and he immediately retreated from the room. He quickly turned his back and leaned against the door frame, nearly vomiting all over himself!

“Fuck, how did Gongyi Cheng die!”

The matter was of great importance. Jianshu and Daoqin were inside cleaning up.

The blood on Xie Wei’s hands wasn’t yet wiped clean. He turned his head to glance at him and said, “I killed him.”

Lu Xian’s scalp immediately exploded. “Wasn’t he invited to the manor for a talk? You two have always maintained mutual non-interference—why did you kill him?!”

Xie Wei said, “But the river water wanted to invade the well water.”

Lu Xian broke down. “Are you insane!”

Xie Wei lowered his eyes to look at the blood-stained spaces between his fingers. Smelling the bloody scent in the room, his eyes revealed several degrees of disgust. He only said, “When I invited him here, I never planned to let him leave alive. We disagreed, so I killed him.”

Hearing this, Lu Xian finally calmed down somewhat. “You have a plan?”

Xie Wei said, “No.”

Lu Xian took a deep breath, seeming to be suppressing something, but still didn’t turn around to look. “You are a member of the Heavenly Doctrine. You invited him to your manor. He’s still in the capital right now. If something happens, how can you escape responsibility? What will you use to explain to the Heavenly Doctrine? How will you resolve this situation in the future?!”

Xie Wei’s expression was extremely calm. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?!!” Lu Xian jumped up. His refined face had become somewhat distorted by today’s shocking incident. Unable to bear it any longer, he roared at him, “No plan, don’t know how to explain it! Yet you actually killed him! Damn it, Xie Ju’an—either you’ve been possessed or I have! What to do, what to do!!! How dare you commit such an act!!!”

His voice was truly quite grating.

Xie Wei finally frowned slightly and said, “Why are you panicking?”

Why was he panicking?!

Who the hell wouldn’t panic encountering this kind of thing!

In Lu Xian’s view, Xie Wei was absolutely not an impulsive person and absolutely shouldn’t have done such a thing. Every single piece of planning and scheming in the capital over these years had been built up with painstaking effort. One misstep and all previous efforts would be wasted!

Lu Xian couldn’t calm down at all!

He turned his head wanting to reason with Xie Wei. However, as his head slightly turned to the side, he caught a glimpse of the shockingly vivid fresh blood on Xie Wei’s snow-white garment. He felt another wave of dizziness in his head and his feet grew weak beneath him.

Thus, this bellyful of irritation with nowhere to vent turned toward Daoqin and Jianshu in the room.

He shouted angrily, “You two stop cleaning up this room and first drag your master down to change into clean clothes before coming back!”

Jianshu didn’t understand. “Why?”

Lu Xian raised one hand to shield his face, afraid of seeing the scene in the room again. Jumping up and down in exasperation, he said, “Why?! Because I fucking have hemophobia!”

Daoqin: “…”

Jianshu: “…”
