With the curse marks gone from Jin Ling, Wei WuXian lies about Lan WangJi's arrival in order to chase him away. Wei WuXian then meets up with Lan WangJi and the latter concerns about the curse marks on Wei WuXian himself. Though Wei WuXian assures that he's fine, Lan WangJi piggy-backs him to the inn, where he holds the alleged culprit. The mysterious person is Nie HuaiSang, and Wei WuXian, under his Mo XuanYu disguise, starts questioning him. They learn that the human-eating tower is just a fabricated rumour to discourage people to wander into the area, and the ruckus are all caused by the swords left behind by the deceased Nie Sect ancestors. After Nie HuaiSang is let go, the sword's spirit starts going wild. Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian then play their instruments to calm it down. After, they decide to visit the tower again, guessing that the spirit is trying to show them something there. Though they are not able to find much, they suspect that Nie MingJue's sword BaXia is causing all the trouble, hence they set off again. They arrive in YueYang and Wei WuXian suspects that the person behind the mysterious sword in Mo Village is not the one behind Nie MingJue's death. As the night starts to fall, they enter the same inn as from 16 years ago and overhears a group of men and waiter talking about the extermination of the YueYang Chang Sect. Once they get onto Xiao XingChen and Song Lan, Lan WangJi explains to Wei WuXian that they have gone missing over the years. However, the last news is Xiao XingChen being blamed on the death of Sect Leader Chang Ping. Xue Yang, on the other hand, became a guest disciple in LanLing Jin Sect but is kicked out by Jin GuangYao. Whether he died or not is still unclear. When Wei WuXian pities on Xiao XingChen and Song Lan's fate, Lan WangJi gets equally emotional and drinks a cup of wine that Wei WuXian has poured for himself. (Source: Wikipedia)
