[wei wuxian's mind is spinning. meng yao? the mild-mannered young man that nie huaisang showed up with at the gusu lan lectures, the well-mannered young man that helped welcome them at the unclean realm? wei wuxian's confusion and surprise must be clear on his face - he can't imagine it.
and yet neither of his current company seem to be lying. he doesn't know lan sizhui very well, but he's sure of nie huaisang's sincerity - his friend wouldn't lie, especially not about family.
he pours yet another cup of liquor and downs it quickly, letting the alcohol burn on its way down.]
What a bleak future we have ahead of us... [he says, eyes going distant for a moment as he peers into his cup.]
If I am not wrong about how things wore when you are from, then a big threat that was over the Cultivation world at your time was removed, so people are safe from the QishanWen Sect.
[ He may have complicated feelings about some of that, but he is also fully aware that the clan of his origin was a danger, beyond anything that he has known in the lifetime he remembers. ]
And, as far as I know, those who did major crimes, [ he nods at Sect Leader Nie, because the one he mentioned includes that, ] have met their punishment.
Those are... good news, are they not?
[ Perhaps he should have deferred again to Sect Leader Nie to answer, but for the first thing... he thought that he had some right to tell about that, too. ]
I guess the fact the sunshot campaign was won by our sects is good news. [ he looks at lan sizhui, a small smile crossing his features. ] But you know how the politics are between the big sects, Wei-xiong. There is always some disagreement somewhere and I truly don't know.
But I am not from as far in the future as young master Lan here, so there are many things I don't know. Still, it seems like everything worked out if Jin Guangyao's crimes came to light and such.
[ he turns to his drink then, uncertain of what more to say. he's never asked the current wei wuxian from here for details of his return but it feels cruel to tell this particularly young wei wuxian the cruel death that awaits him. ]
