[ Hm. Worrying suddenly about who this specific weirdo is and if it's Xiao Xingchen with how fond Xue Yang sounds. But. Well. He doesn't want to deal with that if he doesn't have to so... not gonna ask.
He'll listen to Xue Yang as he continues tying him up though. Hopefully the ropes aren't too tight but they seem to be made to feel good so he doesn't think he's hurting the guy, at least.
Xue Yang's reply is not... surprising but it does give him some insight into where the guy is. For a while now, Wei Wuxian has had the suspicion that he doesn't remember their confrontation in Yi City and this definitely helps cement that. He wonders what it is he last remembers then. ]
That makes sense. If you have all your needs met, then there's little reason to be desperate to go back. What ... [ hm. ] What was life like for you back home?
[ He really can't help but be curious what Xue Yang's perspective is. ]
[ Don't worry, even if he was hurting Xue Yang, his pain tolerance would mean he probably wouldn't bother saying anything!
Xue Yang idolizes Wei Wuxian and is happy and enthusiastic to talk about all sorts of dark topics with him... But even he has some discretion, especially around this particular thing. ]
I had a few different workshops I was running experiments in. Things were pretty good until the Jin Sect decided they were fucking done with me. Did all that shit for them and suddenly they were dragging me out and putting a sword in my stomach. Fucking hypocritical cultivators.
[ He even manages to sound properly pissed about it.
And to be fair he really did get a sword through his torso, and slices in a few other places for good measure, but it all intentionally missed his vital organs. It was an outcome he and Jin Guangyao had been preparing for, serving both their interests as long as Xue Yang managed to lie low. He "dies" in front of several witnesses, his body is abandoned in a ditch with no burial, and no one goes looking for him. He'd still be supported by the Jin Sect from the shadows, and Jin Guangyao would be seen as someone reasonable and decisive in the eyes of the cultivation world.
The fact that Xiao Xingchen of all people was deceived and pulled in was just a bonus, someone for Xue Yang to play with to amuse himself as he let the cultivation world move on. ]
[ That lines up with a version of events he knows, though is far, far earlier in the timeline than he expected it to be. That's not even when Xue Yang was living in Yi City. ... Yet? There's always the chance Xue Yang might be futzing the truth a bit, might be glossing over some facts, but he's banking on Xue Yang's good opinion of him to give him a nugget of truth.
So, Wei Wuxian will make an appropriately disgusted sound of sympathy. Oh no, that terrible Jin Sect. Soooo bad. ]
Must've been disorienting. But that's the Jin Sect for you, not very loyal unless you're clan.
[ They truly prioritize the blood over anything else. Even if that's barely, considering how many bastards of Jin Guangshan might be running around. It truly icks him out every time he remembers his current body is related to that man. Gross. ]
[ Even idols take second place to bro code, especially when Xue Yang doesn't want anyone messing with his catfishing. He's been "dead" for multiple years, and he'll continue to be that way until the time is right. ]
Not sure it's better or worse. I barely get to mess with demonic cultivation and that sucks, but I've found some other things to experiment with instead. But if the alternative is being dead, yeah, this is a pretty good deal. I wasn't as notorious as you are so I don't think there's any self-destructive nutjob looking to drag me back into their body the way you got.
[ It still sounds like a pretty sweet deal that Xue Yang is absolutely going to experiment with if he gets back home and has the chance. Thanks, Senior Wei! ]
[ He's almost done with the ropes, at least. It's been kind of soothing just focusing on tying Xue Yang up and it's added to the nice little buzz he has from the wine. Hm. Maybe he will do the horny ropes another time. Probably with Lan Wangji. But for now, this is fine as it is. ]
Yeah, I got lucky. [ He guesses. He's not sure if he should be saying that but, eh. He's also still not sure he should have told Xue Yang that but the cat's outta the bag now. ] What do you experiment on then?
[ He's probably up to some weird shit, Wei Wuxian thinks. ]
