It's... Time has passed. So much time. [ If Jiejie doesn't know, then Wen Ning has to tell, loathe as he is to ruin their happy reunion with such a sad topic. ]
After Qiongqi Path... After what I did, the Wen clan decided we would surrender ourselves to the Jins, for punishment. [ His face falls, remembering that terrible time. The guilt he had felt when he came to his senses and saw the blood on his hands. ] They said they were going to kill us all. They... [ His voice grows quiet. ] ...They did kill everyone. Everyone but me.
[ He almost doesn't want to mention what they did to him instead. ]
And A-Yuan, because he hid away in the Burial Mounds after everyone had gone. Hanguang-Jun found him there, and brought him back to Cloud Recesses, after we were all gone.
