And that tells him everything he needs to know. He might not have the exact year but he knows about approximately how deep into his plan this man is. The main players have started to fall and things are already in motion. He doesn't move as Jin Guangyao approaches. His expression is cold and doesn't seem intimidated in the least by the man's sudden flurry of emotions.

Wei wuxian has never been one to have much tact and has never been afraid to speak his mind even when it was advised that he stay silent. And so striking the cord that will cause the most pain in this moment is just a necessary step in finding out what he needed to know. In some cases he would pull his punches and have a little compassion. Jin Guangyao deserves no compassion.

"I was dead when it happened." A simple statement just to make sure Jin Guangyao understands that he had absolutely nothing to do with this death, or any of the ones that he mentioned. This one cannot be pinned on him in any way. But also said to indicate he had no intention of telling this man any more then that.

"The details revealed themselves after I returned and showed just how much blood was spilled because of your schemes."
