Peony for the Soon Departed - Part Two is the seventieth chapter of Mo Dao Zu Shi.

Synopsis []

Although Madam Jin rebukes Jin Zixun, Wei Wuxian harshly asks if anyone knows why he does not carry a sword. He declares that he will rise above everyone here even without a sword.

In response, Jin Zixun retorts that he is only the "son of a servant."

Lan Wangji notices with alarm that Wei Wuxian seems about to use Chenqing, when Jiang Yanli interrupts.

She diplomatically requests that Wei Wuxian stand behind her, before apologizing to Jin Zixun if Wei Wuxian has broken any rules. Although Wei Wuxian protests, he stop when she shakes her head at him.

Jiang Yanli then declares that she has never heard of any rules against taking too much prey, and demands an apology from Jin Zixun.

When Madam Jin attempts to interrupt, Jiang Yanli explains that Wei Wuxian was like a younger brother to her, and thus she cannot abide him being dismissed as the son of a servant. Madam Jin promptly joins Jiang Yanli in demanding that Jin Zixun apologize.

Just then, Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao arrive. As Jin Guangyao inquires what has happened, Madam Jin seizes the chance to vent her frustrations on her husband's bastard son, harshly criticizing him for inadequate planning.

Lan Xichen promises Jin Zixun that the hunting grounds will be expanded in two hours, but Jin Zixun claims it was too late and that he is leaving.

Madam Jin attempts to convince Jiang Yanli to walk back to the watching towers with Jin Zixuan, but Wei Wuxian pulls her away with him. Suddenly, as they are about to leave, Jin Zixuan runs forward.

Before everyone, Jin Zixuan suddenly shouts out that it was not his mother who had wanted Jiang Yanli to come, but he himself. He subsequently flees in humiliation, and Madam Jin chases after him.

As everyone departs, Jin Guangyao anxiously confesses that he can not expand the grounds in two hours, as not only has Wei Wuxian taken one-third of the prey, but Nie Mingjue has taken half of the yaos and monsters.

Lan Xichen responds that he will help him, and Lan Wangji also agrees to assist.

Jiang Cheng finally arrives to find only a handful of people left on the scene. Clan Leader Yao speaks coldly on Wei Wuxian's character, and Jiang Cheng then overhears other cultivators complaining that the Yunmeng Jiang Clan only gained fame during the Sunshot Campaign due to Wei Wuxian.

At those words, Jiang Cheng feels as though a shadow has been cast over his face and heart.[1]
