The fact that Jiang Cheng was there seeing it happen as Jiang Yanli pushed WWX out the way, taking the hit for him and still blames it on WWX like they weren't all gathered to pledge death upon him and Wen Remnants after Wen Qing and Wen Ning's death as repayment to leave them alone. Jiang Cheng was also there seeing it happen as the people in Nightless City attacked WWX first, and then 2-3 months later he was the one leading the siege to kill WWX and Wen Remns, (remaining family of WQ and WN, including a granny and a toddler) Yunmeng Jiang was the greatest force even Jins were second in it. Like if he doesn't want to do anything to help don't make it worse? Maybe even a hypothetical "You know my sister died saving this man, I won't tarnish her sacrifice by killing him." and walk away from it or bring small forces like Lans and Nies did? Like LXC wasn't even leading the Lans, LQR was so it doesn't even have to be sect leaders up there, but he not only led the entirety of it but also brought the most men and resources like.. And years later he still makes it WWX's fault like at least tell the truth to Jin Ling?

Four times Jiang Cheng protected someone

Bonus: Two times Jiang Cheng was protected by someone

Yet, at the same time, Wen Zhuliu was closing in on Madam Yu. He looked as if he was about to knock her down. Jiang Cheng hurried, "Mom!"

He immediately gave up on Wang Lingjiao and threw himself over.

That, at the town we passed on our way, when you were buying food, a group of Wen Sect cultivators caught up. That, I discovered them early and left where I sat, hiding at the corner of the street and didn't get caught, but they were patrolling the streets and would soon run into you outside.

That this was why I ran out and distracted them.

Jiang Cheng heard the voice as well. In an istant, his face had turned white, "Sis? Sis! Where are you? Where are you?"

With a roar, Nie Mingjue grabbed at Jin Ling. Both Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling had backed away to the corner of the wall, unable to retreat further. Jiang Cheng could only stuff Jin Ling behind him and unsheathe Sandu, which at the moment was unable to use spiritual energy, forcing himself to fend off the attack.

Bonus:

Lan Wangji grabbed Wei Wuxian's shoulder with one hand, letting Wei Wuxian stand behind him, and with his other hand he forcefully pushed away Jiang Cheng's hand. Rage could be seen hidden within his eyes. Although his push held no spiritual energy, it was quite powerful in terms of strength. The wound at Jiang Cheng's chest ripped apart again. Blood surged.

Jin Ling cried, "Uncle, your wound! Hanguang-jun, spare some mercy!"

Nie Mingjue's heavy fist punched through a body.

But the body was neither Jiang Cheng's nor Jin Ling's.

Wen Ning blocked himself before the wall, in front of the two of them. With both his hands, he grabbed Nie Mingjue's iron arm and slowly pulled it out of his chest, leaving behind a large, hollow hole. There was no bleeding. Only a couple of black organ crumbs fell out.

Part of Exploring Tropes: Time Travel

Summary: When Wei Wuxian activates the travel array, he doesn’t expect to be sent back in time, and certainly not to the lectures in Cloud Recesses. Kay's comments: Just a good old time travel story where everything goes well! Really loved this combination of people who travelled back in time and loved how Wei Wuxian was instantly not ready to take anyone's shit anymore and instead went to live his best life. Good for him! Good for all of them! Featuring a nice flavour of Sect Leader Wen Qing. Excerpt: “Wei Ying, you stayed.” “Of course. How could I leave?” Wei Wuxian replies without missing a beat. “After all, Lan-er-gonzi hasn’t shared a meal with me.” It’s surprising how easily he falls into his usual teasing. “I have.” Wei Wuxian laughs. “I would remember if that was the case.” “Right.” Lan Wangji tone is oddly dejected. As if he were expecting another reaction. Lan Wangji doesn’t wait for a reply and starts to walk away. Could it be . . . ? There’s only one way to confirm it. Wei Wuxian needs to act before Lan Wangji leaves. “Wait.” The command makes Lan Wangji turn around. Wei Wuxian looks directly at him and hesitantly asks. “Hanguang-jun?” Lan Wangji's eyes widen slightly, then he inclines his head. “Mn.”

What I believe Wei Wuxian was like after jiang yanli died. Yes that's a lost look in his eyes if my drawing isn't clear. Yes he's lost as for what purpose is his life for. Everyone he loved, everyone he cared for, every person who was the sole reason for his living, his pushing through constant resentment, external and internal, is dead. The world is his enemy, he has got no one left. He's all alone. No one to love him, no one he could love and call his own.

Headcanon that there's absolutely no way the sword Nie Huaisang gave to the Wens was his real one, considering how his father died...

Wen Ruohan literally sabotaged their father's saber, causing it to break during a nighthunt and get him killed.

There's absolutely no way his da-ge would ever risk Wen Ruohan or any of his sons getting their hands on his little brother's saber...

More likely, it's hidden away in a qiankun pouch.

I doubt that they searched them going in — if they had, they probably would've just confiscated their swords then. Why wait?

Thus, I believe that the reason why Nie Huaisang was so willing to hand over his sword when asked was not just because he hates using it anyway, but also because it was literally just a decoy sword.
