Wei Wuxian was in the Burial Mounds farming when he received a message from a Jin messenger.

"Huh." Wei Wuxian scoffed "He had it coming."

"What's wrong, love?" Lan Wangji asked as he paused playing his guqin.

"Apparently Jin Zixun got cursed and Jin Zixuan wants me to make something that could track the person they cursed because he didn't want to deal with it." Wei Wuxian said.

"Why not use the Compass of Evil that you made and just tinker it a bit?" Lan Wangji suggested, only because if he didn't maybe it would take his beloved weeks and weeks to finish it and Lan Wangji would be too lonely from the lack of attention.

Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up and kissed his cheek "YOU'RE A GENIUS! LAN ZHAN YOU TAKE CARE OF THE THINGS AROUND HERE!" He then turned around.

"YOU! TELL YOUR MASTER THAT IT WILL BE DONE IN 2 WEEKS TIME!" Wei Wuxian said as he pointed at the messenger before unsheathing his sword and flying back to Lotus Pier.

"He could have kissed my lips but it's always the cheek before he runs off." Lan Wangji mumbled sulking.

"Alright, let's get back to work." Lan Wangji told the disciples.

—————————

Jin Zixuan was having a family lunch as this time his mother was strong enough to walk around without much help needed.

Jin Guangshan didn't join them because well...

Ofcourse Jin Yanli was here but she can't eat unless the whole family is finished.

Not that she would have the guts to complain anyway.

Yu Ziyuan isn't here because she chose to secluded herself unless it's something important.

And suddenly a Jin messenger came back "Huh? Did Wei Wuxian sent you something already?" Jin Zixuan asked.

"Sect Leader Wei has not sent anything but he mentioned you wait for 2 weeks as he would tinker something to help with the curse mark."

Jin Zixun gritted his teeth "You told that shameless idiot?!"

"That shameless idiot is the only one that could help you." Jin Zixuan snapped and Madam Jin backed her son.

"And that Shameless idiot's position is higher than yours, he can ask for your head and I'd give it to him with no questions asked if you don't behave yourself!" She scolded.

And so the table went silent and Jin Zixuan turned to the messenger "Thank you, you are excused."

The messenger kowtowed and left the room.

"What did you ask Sect Leader Wei for?" Jin Guangyao could not help but ask.

Jin Zixuan was about to open his mouth but Jin Zixun decided to talk "You don't need to know everything around here you bastard!" He snapped and Jin Guangyao merely smiled at that.

Nobody talked after that, usually his mother would snap at Jin Guangyao but it seemed that she wasn't in the mood or she has suspicions about Jin Guangyao poisoning her.

Jin Wanyin could also be part of it though, but he's kind of...stupid, Wanyin would never pull this kind of poison off without help.

Right now mother wasn't being poisoned so his focus should be on his cousin.

But if anything he thinks that two people are connected. his mother and cousin must be targeted by the same person.

He just doesn't know if the person had help or what.

It's most likely the culprit did because if one person did all the work, it would make everything suspicious towards that one person.

He mentally sighed and decided to talk this with Mianmian later and decided to just enjoy his meal.

—————————

Wei Wuxian had been tinkering all week that Yu Lei and Wen Qing dragged him to eat and sleep the whole time.

Lan Wangji came back with the disciples for a few days rest before returning back to Yiling.

"You better go watch over your fiancé because we can't keep dragging him every now and then." Yu Lei said as he helped some of the disciples carry stuff.

"Mn, will do." was Lan Wangji's reply before he went towards Wei Wuxian's workshop and opened the door.

He learned his lesson last time round alright.

He's not going to scare him.

He's going to wait.

"Qing Jie, I'Il eat lunch just wait a minute!"

"Bunny, I came back and you aren't going to greet me? My heart is broken" Lan Wangji Whined.

Wei Wuxian instantly got off his chair and turned around "Lan Zhan! You're here!" He yelled and quickly jumped all over him.

"And here I though you didn't miss me." Lan Wangji teased and kissed the other's forehead.

"Of course I did, I was busy the whole week and didn't have time to meet up with you!" Wei Wuxian pouted and got off to return to his seat woth Lan Wangji following behind him.

"So, how much were you able to do?" He asked the younger.

"I was able to tinker it and all but I'm still working with the pointer, it would still mistake the caster. So I'll need to render it a bit more, which will take 2 days at most then I'll varnish it up and send it to Jin Zixuan for him to borrow it or something." Wei Wuxian said.

"Mn, and after you're done with it, you need atleast a few days of rest before returning back to the Burial Mounds."

"Ahh Lan Zhan, I don't think I'd be able to stay put for three days."

"Then you can use the toys I gave you."

"LAN ZHAN!"

—————————

"Did you find it?"

Xue Yang scoffed "If I did I would either be flaunting it or tasting it right now no?" Jin Guangyao closed his eyes and bit his lip.

"Any Leads?"

"Gusu."

Jin Guangyao was confused "Gusu?"

"The resentful energy had stopped at Gusu Caiyi Town, but obviously no towns folk would have touched it, It would be in Cloud Recesses, Sect Leader Wei probably brought it there to be sealed." he shrugged.

Jin Guangyao thought about it "Wei Wuxian might have done that." he thought.

"'Are you going to Sect Leader Wei to ask for it?" Xue Yang questioned

"Maybe."

Xue Yang rolled his eyes "Well good luck, that Sect Leader is literally being guarded by Lan Wangji the whole time."

Jin Guangyao's eyes twitched "I will be talking with him by Zixuan's wedding." was all he said before giving the younger his pouch of candies.

—————————

2 weeks had passed and a Yunmeng messenger had arrived.

"This parcel came from Sect Leader Wei, Young Master Jin." the Yunmeng Disciple smiled.

"Please send him my thanks."

The disciple nodded and bowed before leaving the place.

He went inside his room where Mianmian was waiting "Oh? What's that?" She asked curiously.

"I think this is the tracker." Jin Zixuan replied as he set it on top of his table.

"He's finished it already?" She got up to stand beside him and stood beside Jin Zixuan to see what was inside the parcel.

Jin Zixuan shrugged "He did say he'd finish it under two weeks."

He opened the box and saw a small item wrapped in a cloth and a letter.

He opened the letter first and two papers fell, he took the first one.

Hey Peacock!

So, this is what I call "Curse Tracker". Basically I took my "Compass of Evil" and tinkered it for a bit and made this. Lan Zhan suggested I just use the Compass of Evil and just change it a bit so credits go to him too! Anyway, I suggest you use it during the wedding. You never know, it's always the one you expect least to curse someone.

-Sect Leader Wei

He then took the second paper and saw the instructions.

• Just let the person who got cursed hold it and the compass will be pointing towards the curser, when the curser is in front of the victim the arrow in the compass will be turning in circles.

P.s. do return this compass after you finished using it

"I'll make sure to return this undamaged." Jin Zixuan mumbled and placed down the paper and saw his fiance opening that cloth.

"Well this almost looks identical to the "Compass of evil' except this is a bit smaller and lighter, the arrow is in a white color too." She described.

"Well, we better keep this safe and just show it to me stupid cousin the day before the wedding." Jin Zixuan said before pausing "Actually, maybe after our first wedding night?"

Mianmian shook her head "I hate weddings when guests are literally all over us, after our bows give it to him and cause some drama, this will be the most memorable wedding in all of Jin History."

Jin Zixuan blinked "Alright then?"

—————————

The day before the wedding came and guests from different sects were arriving.

"Jin-Xiong! Long time no see." Nie Huaisang said as he separated from his brother "Nie Huaisang." Jin Zixuan huffed.

"Anyways, you'll love the gifts I got." Jin Zixuan thinks otherwise.

Soon enough Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen had arrived.

"I will be talking with Mingjue." Lan Xichen said before leaving to go to Nie Mingjue.

"So, did you give it to him yet?" Wei Wuxian asked and Jin Zixuan shook his head "A-Yang doesn't want to deal with guests after the bows so she wanted me to give it after that."

"Mianmian sure wants some drama." Nie Huaisang commented.

"She said that this was going to be the most dramatic Jin Wedding in history."

"Well then I'll be looking forward to tomorrow then." Wei Wuxian said.

"Oh! I heard that the burial mounds had been partly cleansed and there are trees in it already." Jin Zixuan then remembered.

Wei Wuxian awkwardly laughed "It's only a little bit, we haven't gotten ¼ of the burial mounds but we'll get there." he smiled.

"Still, no one was able to cleanse it, but you were able to." Wei Wuxian winked "Yunmeng's motto is

'Attempt the impossible'."

"That does not mean you go everywhere to attempt something." Lan Wangji said.

"Awww come on Lan Zhan!"

And so they started catching up on things they did over the months.

"How is Madam Jin? I heard what happened from Lan Zhan."

Jin Zixuan smiled "She's doing fine, so far the culprit haven't made a second attempt on her, right now Jin Zixun is the problem."

"The hundred holes curse will act under a year, as much as I want him out...I think there are better ways to die." Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, don't let him break that Compass I tell you, that was harder to make than the Compass of evil."

"I won't allow him."

—————————

Wei Wuxian was walking around the place when he felt someone following him.

"Sect Leader Wei."

Wei Wuxian turned and saw Jin Guangyao smiling at him "Yes?" He questioned.

"I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind." he said.

Wei Wuxian shook his head "I don't mind. ask away."

"Did you touch anything that contained heavy resentful energy lately?" He asked and Wei Wuxian looked confused.

"If going to the Burial Mounds to cleanse it counts then I guess?"

"Ahh. you misunderstood" Jin Guangyao chuckled "I meant any objects containing resentful energy, the Jin Sect is looking for something."

'The Jin Sect looking for a resentful object? I'll ask Jin Zixuan about it after his wedding.' he kept a mental note.

"No not recently." he shook his head

"Though I think there was something in that cave where Lan Zhan and I defeated the Slaughter of Xuanwu."

Jin Guangyao listened.

"My memories are fuzzy from that time as I was in a really bad fever but there was a sword, it was filled with too much resentment, I didn't bother going back for it." Wei Wuxian shrugged.

"I don't suggest going near it either, just seal the cave there, just touching that sword will make you go insane."

Jin Guangyao nodded "I see...thank you for answering Sect Leader Wei."

Wei Wuxian nodded and the two separate paths.

"I'm not getting a good feeling."
