Wei Wuxian's laughter drew the gaze of many disciples. Those standing close by had caught snatches of the conversation and were struggling to hold back their grins, leaving Nie Huaisang with a deeply flushed and embarrassed face.
Wei Wuxian: "Brother Nie, you are a clan leader now, and you know full well that the whole affair back then was just a misunderstanding. Why are you still afraid?"
"It's a habit formed over many years, how could it be changed so easily? Besides, I may be a clan leader, but didn't he become the Chief Cultivator?" Nie Huaisang said with a helpless sigh. It wasn't as if he wanted to be such a coward, but who could blame him when Lan Wangji had left such deep psychological scars on him in childhood? He added defensively, "Anyway, I'm not the only one who's afraid of him; all the cultivation sects are."
