[ He considers Jin Ling's words again. Either Young Master Wei shares his timeline and is again attempting to keep Sect Leader Jiang from knowing the truth. Or Young Master Wei is from before and unaware that the Sect Leader ever found out. It's frustrating to think that they might both be back at the start of their realizations. It had taken so much for Wen Ning to go against his master's words to open Sect Leader Jiang's eyes back then. Here, it could prove even more difficult, with Young Master Wei less likely to be in a weakened state.
Perhaps having an informed Sect Leader Jin serve as the intermediary is the better path. This matter is between family after all. Wen Ning had only been a catalyst.
Though thinking about all this brings another query to his mind. ]
