Wei Ying huffed annoyedly as he quietly trailed after Lan Xichen. He was currently concealed by Ai's powers, along with his devil of a daughter and her girlfriend.

Wangji was still supposedly in seclusion, so only Wei Ying, Yingyue and Ai accompanied Xichen. Wangji was slightly disappointed when Xichen told why he had to stay, but was placated with the thought of spending more time with the children, who were still adjusting to their new lifestyle with them.

Wei Ying smiled, thinking of Wangji and his clear affection for the kids.

He heard Yingyue whisper behind him, "Lovesick bastard, look at his smile." to Ai who just let out a faint laugh.

They followed Xichen as he greeted the other sect leaders, being careful not to bump into anyone.

"Sect Leader Jin," Xichen greeted, bowing politely, keeping any negative emotion that could creep onto his face under cover.

Wei Ying was free to give Jin Guangshan, the dirtiest look ever, complete with an eye roll and tongue stuck out.

Yingyue just snickered at his immaturity behind him, as she dodged the second person Wei Ying did not like at all.

Su She.

They watched as Xichen schooled his face into an impassive expression, as he greeted him.

"Sect Leader Moling Su." Xichen inclined his head at the deserter of the Gusu Lan, who had decided to use their teachings as his own.

They watched as he went to greet the other sect leaders. "Ungrateful traitor." Xichen cursed him under his breath.

The dinner was a loud affair. The guests bickered about their sects, while the supply of wine dwindled.

Wei Ying and the others observed the proceedings quietly, keeping a close eye on Jin Guangshan, Jin Guanyao, and Su She.

BANG!!

Jin Guangshan shot up, hands clutching at his throat desperately gasping for air. His seat flew into the wall and shattered.

The whole hall gasped in shock, with a select few rushing forward to help him.

"Father, are you alright?" Jin Guangyao asked, smiling fakely.

He didn't answer. Jin Guangshan let out a scream of pain, convulsed on the floor and lay still.

The hall fell silent, as Jin Guanyao felt for his father's pulse. "He-e's dead." Jin Guanyao raised his face, tears streaking down it.

"Father!!" He cried, clutching onto the body.

Wei Ying clenched his teeth at the sham display. Yingyue's grip on her daggers tightened, and Ai looked disgustedly at Jin Guanyao.

"Who did it?!!" Jin Guanyao cried, "Who would be so heartless to kill my father!"

'Ehh you,' Wei Ying thought bitterly, anger rising at the audacity of this person.

He nodded to Ai, who removed the enchantment on him.

"You obviously," He scoffed. "What will others gain from his death? You would luckily receive some nice inheritance if your father decided to drop dead some day." He walked into the light where everyone in the room could see him.

An uproar of voices was heard, as everyone in the vicinity stood up.

"H-HOW?! YOU'RE DEAD!" Jin Guanyao stood up, pointing at him, finger shaking.

"Am I?" Wei Ying asked teasingly, the corners of his mouth lifted in a slight smirk.

He walked over to Jin Guangshan's plate of food. He poked it slightly, revealing a bright green leaf, poison, he realised, a slow working poison

"Poison. Was it yours, Jin Guangyao?" He turned to him, the bright leaf contrasting with his pale skin.

"NO!" he yelled, "IT WAS LAN WANGJI!"

"He associated with you!! And my father is why you were killed! It was his revenge!"

"Very funny Jin Guanyao," Yingyue appeared beside him. "Lan Wangji is currently in seclusion, how would he get poison into your father's food?"

"Who are you??" Jin Guanyao stood back, scared out of his wits.

"No one important." she replied.

"YOU!!" A Gusu Lan elder yelled, Xichen giving him a reprimanding glare.

"Oh, it's one of the goats. Yes, it's me." Yingyue grinned at him, all teeth showing.

"Admit it Jin Guanyao, admit you were the one who poisoned your father," Wei Ying said softly.

"NO IT WAS NOT ME!" he yelled, face turning bright red.

Wei Ying motioned to Yingyue,who nodded and had Jin Guanyao tied up with her dagger at his throat within seconds.

Wei Ying paced in front of him slowly.

"You know, I decided to visit an old friend before coming here. He was examining a leaf exactly the same as the one used to poison your father. And he said it was from your private herb garden. He had never seen it before and wanted to take a closer look."

Wei Ying turned to the rest of the people there. "Is that enough proof for you?"

Everyone turned to Jin Guanyao with increased anger.

"SU SHE!! CALL XUE YANG!!" Jin Guanyao commanded, all eyes turning to Su She in shock.

A/N so Wangji has been the mc for a while now, lets give him a break and let Wei Wuxian take over. :)
