~~**~~
Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain....
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again

- Cradle Of Filth

DRIP! DRIP!

This was supposed to be a Blessed Night for both him and Lan Zhan, but why? Why does everything hurt so much? Why was he lying on the pool of his own blood? Why? Why did Lan Zhan –

“Lan… Zhan…?” Wei Ying looked up to the man he was supposed to spend his life with and found that it wasn’t Lan Zhan but one of the Lan Elders, then his eyes widened when one of the Jin Disciples entered with a box.

“Yiling Patriarch, do you really think that the Illustrious Hanguang-jun loved you? How foolish of you to fall into our trap.” One of the Lan Elders cackled. “Do you really think that we would let your evil deeds slide and let you live a happy life?”

No He doesn’t want to believe Lan Zhan would do this to him! Why would Lan Zhan go to such length just to take him back to Gusu?

“You must be thinking Lan Zhan won’t do this to you, is it?” Another Elder called out smugly. “Then why won’t we let Lan Wangji say it to himself?”

And with that, A Very Familiar figure of the Second Jade of Lan Enters the room, eyes Cold as ice and Bichen is in his hands.

“Hanguang-jun… why won’t you tell him the truth?” One of the Elders coaxed happily.

Lan Wangji just stared at Wei Wuxian coldly…

“I Never Loved Wei Wuxian, Only Pretended to Love him, to lure him in and eradicate him and his Evil Deeds.” He stated flatly and turned to the door. “The one I loved the Most… is Mo XuanYu…”

A Petite young Man stood by the door with head held down as if in shame. Wei Wuxian felt his heart cracked…

“Ah… As a Present to the Yiling Patriarch…” The Jin Disciple sneered as he opened the box.

As the Box Opened, Wei Wuxian’s heart was shattered into million pieces as there inside the box is the head of his Beloved A-Yuan, his child! They killed him!

Wei Wuxian’s Dreams of Having a Family was Shattered…

The Man Who He Thought Loved Him Betrayed Him and Loved Someone Else…

His Child… His A-Yuan… They Killed Him…

They Killed His Child…

And the next thing Wei Wuxian knew is the Horrible Pain as Bichen slowly and Painfully stabbed on his chest where the Qishan Wen Brand was placed.

They took everything from Him…

He Saved Them From The Tides Of Doom of Wen RuoHan’s Reign… Yet…

All He Received Is Betrayal…

He Won’t Forgive Them…

He Will Never Forgive Them!

They Will Pay…

For Humiliating Him!

For The Betrayal!

THEY WILL PAY!

Lan Wangji pulled out Bichen swiftly and watched as the Man he Betrayed lays down on the floor dying…

“Lan Wangji… You… The Lan Clan… The Whole Cultivation World… I will remember this Treachery… This Betrayal… and Humiliation… You Will Pay…Set My Words In Stone… I Curse You All An Eternal Suffering… You Will Not Live All Your Life Happily… All Of You Will All Live In Misery As I Have Lived Mine! There Will Be neither Joy, Nor Happiness as You All Live… My Curse Will Come Once I Breathe My Last! Hahahahahah!” Wei Wuxian breathed out as he laugh.

Resentful Energy Pours out of his body as his heartbeat falters, the look of terror etched on everyone’s face as they try to keep him from dying, but they have come too late. As his vision darkens he looks at his A-Yuan’s decapitated head one last time.

“If there is a Second Chance… I would live my life and avenge A-Yuan and my fallen Family and make those who had done us wrong Pay!” He wished in his thoughts.

“SHIZUN!” His Disciple’s Voice Screamed out in the Darkness.

He opened his eyes once more to see Xue Yang… His Dearly Beloved Disciple… His A-Yang…

“Shizun! Shizun! Hang in there! We’re Out of Gusu! Don’t Leave Me All Alone!” Xue Yang cried in grief.

Wei Wuxian had no idea where they are, he could barely see…

“A-Yang… Shizun is Sorry… Shizun should have listened… I’m So Sorry…” Wei Wuxian said as his breath is shortening.

Xue Yang held his Beloved Shizun tightly as he stopped by the River… He cried and Cried as he could feel his Shizun’s body getting colder. Wei Wuxian with all his strength raised his hand and caressed Xue Yang’s tears soaked face -

“Forgive this Foolish Shizun For Failing You… A-Yang…” Wei Wuxian said as his hand fell limp on the ground and breathed his last.

Xue Yang felt his heart shattered into million pieces as he watched helplessly as his Beloved Shizun breathed his Last. He throw his head back and let out a heart wrenching scream filled with pain, loss and agony, he cried and cried.

He felt someone standing a few distance away, he set down his Shizun on the ground and faced this new intruder… White… his most hated colour… there standing before him is the very Sect Leader of Gusu Lan… Lan XiChen.

Unbridled Hate and uncontrollable Fury rushed through his veins as he was seeing red… he couldn’t see anything but red and once he had come to his senses what he sees did not scare him, there is no fear in his veins as he looked at Lan XiChen’s Mangled Corpse, he reached out and hold the Head of the once Respectable Gusu Lan Sect Leader… He skewered Lan XiChen’s head on a Pole right beside the Mangled Body as he writes a Bloody Message for the Lan Clan to find…

“Life for Life, You Will Pay For Your Crimes In Blood.”

And with that, Xue Yang brought his Shizun’s Body back in the Burial Mound… Where An Unknown Array that his Shizun Made before he went to Gusu…

For days and Nights he travelled on foot as he carried his Shizun’s body back to the Burial Mound, he never stopped… not once… He doesn’t know what that Array is for, but he is willing to try. For his Beloved Shizun he will try everything, he doesn’t care for the price he had to pay, Whether it be an arm, or a leg, or even his heart he will give it!! He wanted his Shizun to live... He’s Xue Yang’s only Family and his Shizun is all he have left.

Once he reached the Demon Slaughtering Cave, he laid down his Shizun at the very centre of the Array… Xue Yang composed himself, he had thought things through… He studied the Arrays for a little while and soon he figured what the Array is for, it’s untested but it’s the only way he can save his Shizun from his Horrible Fate. His Shizun Sacrificed so many until there is nothing left for him to give… This Array is no ordinary Array, this Array Concerns on a Massive Timetravelling, and Mass Timetravelling means all 5 Great and Minor Sects will return back in the past with memories of the Future, and that means they will know what his Shizun will be capable of and all Sects will come and try to take his Shizun and make him theirs… No… He can’t allow his Shizun’s Wings be clipped again! Never! He wouldn’t Allow it! But if he has to send his Shizun Back in time, then he had to be in someone else’s body…

He looked back to his Shizun’s Body at the Centre of the array… then to himself…

He Knew whose Body he has to send his Shizun to…

He knew it won’t be easy, this ritual could even erase his or his Shizun’s existence if he is not too careful… he’s willing to risk it all, if this fails at least he’ll be with his Shizun again and if he succeeds… he doesn’t know what’s going to happen but at the very least his Shizun will live.

He took out Jiangzai and made a cut on his wrist for the blood offering, he traced main array as he chanted –

“With Blood As My Medium, My Body As The Vessel I Pray Upon You The Deity Who Governs The Domain of Time… In The Name Of The Holy Triumvirate Which Embodies The Past, The Present And The Future, Arise From The Void Conceive By My Words.”

The Array Glowed Bloody Red as the Spell Starts, Xue Yang could hear the Winds of the Burial Mounds Howl as the Mound itself rumbles at the sheer force of the Spell… he could hear the clamouring of swords outside the Cavern, Lucky he set up a Barrier to keep the Cultivators out. It would buy him time to send his Shizun back in time. He felt lighter as the Spell got stronger, the Passage of time has been set and Xue Yang could feel himself fading. With one last effort he staggered towards his Shizun and knelt by his side…

“Shizun… This Disciple Will Do Anything For You… Xue Yang Will Give Everything… Even His Life, So When Shizun Wakes Up… Shizun Must Live His Life To The Fullest, Away From Those Who Wished Shizun Harm… Shizun… Xue Yang Loves You So Much… So Shizun Should Live…” And with that he lowered himself and placed a Soft and Affectionate Kiss on his Shizun’s forehead.

After that Xue Yang vanished in a form of Pearls of Light as he Departs the World of the Living with a Loving Smile painted on his Lips… And the Array Glowed So Bright…

And Then Darkness…

Somewhere In Time and Place

Red Eyes Opened meeting the vastness of the Wintery Dawn of Yiling… He doesn’t know how long he had been sleeping… no… that doesn’t feel right… all he knows is that… He Should Be Dead… How come is he alive?

Wait… this place… Old Houses… the Alley… the Snowy Ground…

Is He in Yiling?

How?

How did he got to Yiling when he was supposed to be dead? What’s going on?

Chapter Text

~~**~~

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're OK.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go on.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

-Memories by Within Temptation

~~**~~

He shouldn’t be alive! He should’ve been dead! Lan Wangji killed him. What Happened? He looked down on his dirty hand, he stood up and trudged to a nearby water and look. Once he looked at his reflection, the person looking back at him is not him at all… it’s Xue Yang’s. Wei Ying backed off the water surface in shock.

‘No, no no no no! Please No!’ Wei Ying begged in his head as he looked back in the water.

Xue Yang’s image stared back at him… Wei Ying falls on his knees as tears streams down his face. Now he remember, Lan Wangji Betrayed him… The Lan Clan and the Jin Sect conspire together to kill him.

“Yiling Patriarch, do you really think that the Illustrious Hanguang-jun loved you? How foolish of you to fall into our trap.” One of the Lan Elders cackled. “Do you really think that we would let your evil deeds slide and let you live a happy life?”

After all the pain he had gone through, all the Suffering… in the end, Lan Wangji betrayed him.

“You must be thinking Lan Zhan won’t do this to you, is it?” Another Elder called out smugly. “Then why won’t we let Lan Wangji say it to himself?”

TRAITORS!

“Hanguang-jun… why won’t you tell him the truth?” One of the Elders coaxed happily.

BETRAYERS!

“I Never Loved Wei Wuxian, Only Pretended to Love him, to lure him in and eradicate him and his Evil Deeds.” He stated flatly and turned to the door. “The one I loved the Most… is Mo XuanYu…”

“Ah… As a Present to the Yiling Patriarch…” The Jin Disciple sneered as he opened the box.

As the Box Opened, Wei Wuxian’s heart was shattered into million pieces as there inside the box is the head of his Beloved A-Yuan, his child! They killed him!

A-Yuan… His A-Yuan… They Killed His Beloved Child.

He Won’t Forgive Them!

NEVER!

Not only did he lose his Child, He Lost his Beloved Disciple…

“SHIZUN!” His Disciple’s Voice Screamed out in the Darkness.

His one and only Disciple…

“Shizun! Shizun! Hang in there! We’re Out of Gusu! Don’t Leave Me All Alone!” Xue Yang cried in grief.

And the last thing he remember is hearing his Disciple scream then the next is waking up here. He lost everything…

His Friends…

His Family…

His Child…

And His Disciple…

Ɱᴑ Χυᶏͷϒυ…

“After all this time, I was entangled with him just to fill the void by Mo Xuanyu’s absence.” Wei Ying gritted his teeth just remembering the look of that pretentious wench.

Then a Black Nine-tailed fox appeared before him and said –

“According to the Record of time, That is so.”

Wei Ying clenched his fist as anger rises in his heart –

“Then My Love… My Painful Love For Him Wasn’t My Own Will… You’re saying It Was An Emotion Decided Simply By Fate?!”

“That Is So.” The Black Nine-Tailed Fox answered.

Wei Ying glared at the Heavens and yelled out –

“I Worked So Hard Yet I Was Not Loved Back! And That Was All Because I Was Just A Temporary Substitute?!”

He looked down on his hand with complete set of fingers and added –

“My Existence was simply meant to be a substitute for the Blessed Child Loved By Gods.”

The Black Nine-Tailed Fox sighed understanding the pain of this Human –

“That is So…” He answered.

“Don’t play with me! I Lived My Life In Pain For Something Like That While She Had Everything!” Wei Ying raged as he looked back at the Heavens. “You Gods That Overlooks All Life Equally, Yet You Made a Child Blessed By The Gods! How Can You Interfere with People as You Wish!?”

The Nine-Tailed Fox looked at the angry Mortal and answered –

“Humans Cannot Avoid The Decision That Is Given To Them. And It Is Called Fate.”

Resentful Energy Faintly rises out of Wei Ying’s New Body as the said Boy growled –

“No!! I Refuse A Fate Like That!”

“A Human Cannot avoid Fate.” Said The Black Nine-Tailed Fox.

‘I Truly Loved Him, Even though he was never warm towards me. I Did all Mo Xuanyu’s work as a Cultivator that was pushed to me instead. The People belittled me, called me a Demon, Yet I did not bear any Ill-will towards them. God must be testing me like this in order to help me get stronger, God is Fair and Wise, God Will Grant Me Something Better After Such Hardship. That is what I believed. Yet in truth I had no freedom to begin with. I was forced to exist As Lan Wangji’s Partner because of fate. I lived my life without knowing the warmth of my Family’s Love.’ Wei Ying cried in his head remembering all the pain and hardship he had to go through only for it to be in vain.

“Child, the Heavens pitied you, but a Fate that is decided Can Not be Changed. So the Gods in Heaven had given you a Gift to reward you for your twisted fate.” The Nine-Tailed Fox said.

Wei Ying looked at the Fox and said –

“Hah… A Reward? What a Joke… Fine… I will Accept that.” Then he looked back up the Heavens and yelled out. “Don’t be Mistaken! I will Never accept you as Gods. And I will never Thank You! I Will Not Believe in Gods anymore, I Will Reject You, With All My Life! I Will Be the one to throw away a God, The Same as I was Discarded!”

Wei Ying breathes harshly as his heart beats so fast. The Sky Darkens and the Wind blew harsh.

“That is fine… Do As You Wish… You Are The One That Gods Looked Upon, You Are The One Who Refuses Fate, The Path You Take Shall Be Your Fate, And What You Wish For Shall Be Your Path. The One Who Carves One’s Own Fate Is Your Name.” The Fox stated softly.

Then it began raining as if the Heavens began crying after a Harsh Rejection.

“Now that you’re back… What will you do?” The Nine Tailed Fox asked.

“Betrayal begets betrayal, Ignorance breeds Fear, Fear breeds Hate, Hate breeds Violence… Life for Life and Blood for Blood, He who I once loved betrayed me for that I betray him back, Their Ignorance of my Wrath will breed Fear in their hearts, and that Fear will breed more Hate but the Question is… For whose Hate that will be brought upon to whom?” He said to no one as he stood from where he was huddled his fear of dogs long gone for his Fear turns to hate. “Betrayer of the Righteous Path is what they say of me, But it was I who was betrayed. Still they Hunt me, still hated For I am blind of what is the truth that I cannot see, I lost what is dear to me… I will Defy the Fate that was laid before me.” Wei Ying said as he gazed upon the Fox Spirit before him.

There was only silence, until the Fox Spirit laughed –

“Who are you, Child?”

Wei Wuxian looked at the puddle below him and saw his Beloved Disciple’s face, He will not be Wei Ying anymore. That Name Had Carried all his pain and suffering, now with a new lease of life, he will not bear that name anymore, He opened his mouth and said –

“Xue Yang… I am called Xue Yang.”

And with that he walks away from his current Location and headed towards Yi City.

Unbeknownst to him a Certain Crimson Ghost King watched the whole scene happen.

[GUSU LAN, HANSHI]

Lan Xichen shot up from his bed clutching his neck as if checking if his head is still attached, He remember… he remembered it all… his Clan’s Betrayal, Wangji’s Betrayal, and Wei Ying’s Pain… then… then the Anger of Xue Yang and the Fight that caused him his life.

Lan Xichen felt cold, then he realized that he’s alive… wait… he’s supposed to be dead, Xue Yang killed him, but then… how? How was he alive? Wait… What day is it? What years is it?

He ran to his table and check what day and year it is… his eyes widened… it’s the Day before the Yearly Studies, then this means… Wei Ying is alive…

[JINGSHI]

Lan Wangji woke up with a start, he remembered he was mourning. His Older Brother was killed after he gave chase to Wei Ying… Then Xuanyu… Xuanyu was dying right before his very eyes, the Curse is killing Xuanyu Slowly and very Painfully.

The Curse came which meant that Wei Ying is dead, and the Curse effectively came and slowly killing them one by one, especially those who are with Spouse. Not only that, Jiang Wanyin heard what happened and was very Furious and cut all the ties from Gusu Lan and Lanling Jin.

And Xichen was killed leaving him all alone and then Xuanyu died in pain while he watch his Kins die one by one.

He stood up and check what day and year it is… once he checked, it’s the Day before the Yearly Studies 6 Years from now it will happen, which means he’ll see Wei Ying again..

[YUNMENG JIANG]

Jiang Cheng got up from his bed and look around, then he took off running towards Wei Wuxian’s room, once he got there… Wei Wuxian wasn’t there, the room is very clean as if it wasn’t used. His Brother wasn’t there.

What the hell is going on? Wait What Day is it?

He ran back to his room and check the Day, once he did… it’s the Day before Studying to Gusu… No… He doesn’t want to go to that Accursed place… he doesn’t want to see the murderer of his brother!

[QISHAN WEN]

Wen Ruohan couldn’t believe it… he’s alive again… but how? How did it happen? Did someone played with and reverse the flow of time. Whoever he/she is, he wants that person in his grasp.

Then he froze… there is one Cultivator talented enough to do such a thing…

Wei Wuxian… Yunmeng Jiang’s Head Disciple.

Wen Ruohan chuckled darkly.

[QINGHE NIE]

Nie Mingjue is looking at his crying brother, he did get tackled by Huaisang a while ago crying on his chest and now Huaisang is crying for a different matter. Huaisang is crying for Wei Wuxian and how the Second Jade of Lan Betrayed him and that Mo Xuanyu person. He had no idea what is going on, but he’s sure as hell, Lan Wangji had a lot of explaining to do.

[DAFAN WENS]

Wen Qing shot up from her bed and ran to her younger Brother’s room, once she arrived there she saw Wen Ning hunched on the floor, his room was a mess as if her A-Ning had gone through an Angry fit which is close to impossible.

“A-Ning…” She called out.

The said boy flinched and looked up and boy Wen Ning’s face is a mess with tears and snot as if the boy was crying after all this time.

“Jie, Young Master Wei… The Lan Clan…They… They betrayed Young Master Wei and A-Yuan… They Killed A-Yuan, they Beheaded him, Jie.” Wen Ning sobbed.

Wen Qing Felt Cold… and then Anger rises from her chest… She will never forgive those betrayers.

[TIMESKIP]

Wei Ying trudged towards a Familiar hut in Yi City… it’s the same Hut that house A-Qing and his Martial Uncle Xiao XingChen, He’s very tired and he felt listless right now. His Disciple is gone, the Heavens had tormented him for so long, and so much. He meant what he said, he won’t believe in Gods, he never will… after all he had gone through and all he get is betrayal.

The World turned him away…

So he will turn away from the World.

He had so much to do, and he will never forget his vengeance against the Gusu Lan Clan and the Lanling Jin Sect

[BAIXUE TEMPLE]

Xiao XingChen couldn’t believe what he was hearing from Song Lan’s mouth, his Martial Nephew… His poor Martial Nephew had suffered so much and that Xue Yang had to save his Martial Nephew, but in the end both his Martial Nephew and Xue Yang died.

But now that both him and Song Lan are alive, he had to find both XueYang and Wei Ying before the Lan Clan and the Jin Sect could get their hands on the both of them.

“Wen Ruohan is alive and I am sure that he too is looking for Wei Ying.” Song Lan stated softly as he wipes XingChen’s tears away.

“Lan’er, we have to find them…” Xiao XingChen pleaded.

Song Lan just nodded and held Xiao XingChen close.

[AND BY THE NEXT FEW DAYS]

Xiao XingChen and Song Lan stood at the very house where both Xiao XingChen and A-Qing lived before, XingChen pushed the door open and entered the house only to find Xue Yang sleeping.

“A-Yang?” He softly called out.

The Person on the bed flinched and sat up… Crimson Eyes meets Dark Ones…

“XingChen…” An Unusually soft voice came out from ‘Xue Yang’s’ Mouth.

“A-Yang… Is that really you?” Xiao XingChen called out again.

The said boy shook his head and said –

“I’m sorry, but this one is not Xue Yang… In soul…”

Xiao XingChen felt cold not Xue Yang? But… But he couldn’t be mistaken… this person before him is Xue Yang, he remembers Xue Yang right before he became Blind.

“Then… Then Who…” Xiao XingChen choked.

‘Xue Yang’ stood up and did a proper greeting –

“This one’s Name is Wei Ying, Courtesy Wuxian… a Pleasure to meet You Martial Uncle.”

And Xiao XingChen’s world went black.

[LATER THAT DAY]

Song Lan couldn’t believe what he was hearing from… from Wei Ying who is now residing Xue Yang’s Body…

“If my Guess is right, A-Yang used a Forbidden spell, not only to Reverse the Flow of Time but to also do the Body Offering while the other Spell is active.” Wei Ying stated softly as he looked at Song Lan.

“About what happened to Your Wedding Night…” Song Lan asked.

Wei Ying’s eyes flashed red dangerously.

“I will never forgive them of what they have Done, Their Betrayal will not go Unpunished.” He snarled as he set the teacup down. “A-Yang would still be alive if it weren’t for them… A-Yang sacrificed himself to save me, he offered his life so I would Live. But a Life without him is worse than death… My A-Yang is gone.”

XingChen sobbed in his sleep, Song Lan knew that XingChen is fond of Xue Yang and sois Wei Ying, and he too had a Soft Spot for that rascal. But now knowing that Xue Yang couldn’t be with them, it’s painful. And he couldn’t help but feel a rising anger in his heart towards Lan Clan and the Jin Sect…

“What are you planning to do?” Song Lan asked.

Sighing, Wei Ying looked at Song Lan and said –

“I Know it’s difficult for me… for us… But I have to live on as Xue Yang, if people knew that I am Wei Ying, it will cause me some trouble. If what you said is correct, that everyone who is supposed to be dead are now Alive including Wen Ruohan and his ilk, I’m sure they’re going to look for Wei Wuxian… and in this time, Xue Yang is just a Wanderer not yet a Disciple… for now I plan to look for Wen Ning and his family, I have to make sure they’re fine and once I’m done, it’s only a waiting game for us…”

Song Lan Nodded in understanding…

[TIMESKIP]

Ever since the Great Revival the Wen Sect are very much active which cause wide Panic and fear to other Sects Big and Small alike. The Wen Sect are scouring every corner of every Sect in search for one… Wei Wuxian…

But Alas… there is no sign of the Youth…

Some Braved the Burial Mound and enter just to find one Boy…

Yet they found no one…

It’s like… Wei Wuxian disappeared from the World…

Now, that Wen Ruohan is back that old fear return with a vengeance. Now they knew Wei Wuxian’s importance and they turned him away, with Wei Wuxian missing… there is no Yiling Patriarch to stop Wen Ruohan from rampaging, from trampling them down the ground.

This is the Cultivation World’s First Regret…

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello, I'm the lie
Living for you so you can hide, don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here

[YI CITY]

[XUE YANG’S HUT]

[WEI YING’S VIEW]

Xiao XingChen and Song Lan went out for a Day or two and here he is, lying on his back on the bed, he’s still getting used to this new life his Disciple had brought him into. He had no idea that his Disciple’s Core is a Yin Core which filled with Yin Energy instead of the Golden Core which filled with Yang Energy.

“No wonder he always complaining about feeling so cold. His Core is a Yin Core and those who bear the Yin Core will always suffer immense cold energy throughout their whole body, unless there’s a Golden Core Cultivator to balance the Yin Energy out.” He muttered to himself.

Sitting up, he had heard gossips and rumours that the Wen Sect are looking for him. Too bad Wei Wuxian does not exist in this timeline, but Xue Yang is… and none of them will know that the one they’re looking for is just right here. Then he looked at the Portrait of his Disciple Xue Yang.

“A-Yang, I swear… I’ll avenge you… Lan Clan will fall.” He whispered.

~~++~~++~~++~~

[LOTUS PIER]

Jiang Cheng couldn’t sleep, ever since the Wen Sect is revived Wen RuoHan had been relentless. Yunmeng hasn’t burned this time, The Sect Leader of Wen had been demanding to hand Wei Wuxian over, but the problem is, Wei Wuxian is not here in Yunmeng. His father had sent Disciples far and wide to look for Wei Wuxian, so far there are no clues to where the guy is.

It’s just like he vanished from existence, many tried looking in the Burial Mound but no one’s there.

“Where could he be…” Jiang Cheng Muttered to himself as he looks at the murky waters of the river.

Maybe it’s for the best that Wei Wuxian should stay away from the Cultivation World. After what happened to him in Gusu, maybe leaving the Cultivation World is for the best, it’s not that he hates Wei Wuxian, it’s because he doesn’t want his Brother to suffer the same fate after being revived. And with Wen RuoHan is looking for Wei Wuxian, this situation is bound to a different path than the ones before.

With the knowledge of what had happened before the Revival, this Time… Wen RuoHan won’t make the same Mistake and this time… this time would be different.

~~++~~++~~++~~

[CLOUD RECESSES]

Lan Xichen was merciless as he watched indifferently as the Elders begging for mercy when the Disciplinary Whip lashes on their back, his Brother suffered the same thing. He had never forgotten and Lan Xichen won’t forget anytime soon, Jiang Wanyin had been too furious and didn’t even came to study here in Gusu including Nie Huaisang too. Lan Xichen could bet that the Younger Nie is Angry at them too, Huaisang had been a close friend to Wei Wuxian.

“Do Not Kill Within Cloud Recesses…” Lan Xichen stated coldly. “Yet what you did is also equivalent of murdering Young Master Wei.”

The Disciplinary Whip lashed at the Elders again causing them to scream.

“Morality is the priority.” Lan Xichen recited again. “You did not show any morality towards Young Master Wei.”

And The Disciplinary Whip was brought down again.

“Xichen, this is going too far!” Lan QiRen called out from the side.

“Uncle, when Young Master Wei was the one being punished until the Elders had gone too far, did you stepped in?” Lan Xichen asked coldly making the Old Man flinch. “No you didn’t, you let it happen. You are biased Uncle.”

“Wei Wuxian is nothing but trouble if he doesn’t learn his lesson he won’t stop causing trouble!” Lan QiRen shouted.

“What gives you the rights to dictate what Young Master Wei should Do and do not? Last Time I remember, you are not his Parent, not only did you bear a petty Grudge towards his mother but to Young Master Wei as well. That is also punishable according to the Sect Rules.” Lan Xichen shots back calmly but coldly as he stares at his uncle.

Then he turned to look at the grovelling Elders.

“The Punishment is not done, we still have a long way to go, Elders. All your Rule Breaking is by far not half way there yet.” Lan Xichen stated darkly. “You will learn your lessons.”

That day was filled with the screams of the Elders being punished by the Sect Leader of Lan Clan, no one knows what happened as to why Sect Leader Lan was punishing the Elders rather harshly, but everyone could tell that Sect Leader Lan is furious behind that calm demeanour.

.

.

.

.

.

After the Punishment, Lan Xichen sent the Elders into Seclusion and forbid them from stepping out of their rooms far in the deep forest of Gusu. QingHeng-jun upon hearing what his Eldest Son did, finally steps out of his Seclusion to hear what had happened. And he was horrified of what he heard from his Eldest Son –

“The Lan Clan from that time had stooped so low as to plot something behind my back, Father and I can’t believe that Wangji would do such a thing, such as betraying the person who trusted him the most.” Lan Xichen spat angrily glaring at his younger brother who looked away in shame.

“Who is this person you’ve spoken of, Son?” QingHeng-jun asked curiously.

“It’s Young Master Wei…” Lan Xichen answered with a hint of sadness in his voice.

“The son of the Late CangSe SanRen and Wei ChangZe? Tell me what happened.” QingHeng-jun’s voice hardened.

Lan Xichen nodded and told his Father Everything, from the very beginning of Young Master Wei’s Past up to the Betrayal.

“The Elders, Including Uncle and Wangji plotted against Young Master Wei. Wangji pretended to be in-love with Young Master Wei to get Young Master Wei’s Trust when in fact it is to spy on and keep Young Master Wei in Check, Wangji was never in love with Young Master Wei, but he is in love with someone who is Younger than Him… his name is Mo XuanYu, They conspired alongside with the Lanling Jin who lusts after Young Master Wei’s Powerful Cultivation. Since they cannot have the Power of Young Master Wei, they decided to Kill Young Master Wei on his and Wangji’s Wedding Night -” Lan Xichen hissed as his Spiritual Energy roused in anger.

“Brother!” Lan Zhan called out trying to stop his brother.

But his attempt was futile as Lan Xichen ignored him continuing –

“Once they almost killed Young Master Wei, Young Master Wei’s Only Disciple came and took Young Master Wei away from Gusu, I gave chase to make sure Young Master Wei is alright, but sadly I encountered Young Master Wei’s Disciple and…”

“And?” QingHeng-jun asked.

“He and I fought… we fought and I… I died…” Lan Xichen answered looking away from his father. “I don’t know the rest before we are revived back.”

QingHeng-jun could only sighed in grief –

“How Low Cloud Recesses had become to do such a thing.” Then he looked at his Youngest Son. “A-Zhan I am very disappointed in you, what you have done is a Crime not only in the eyes of the Beholder but to our Ancestor himself as well. We Do Not Tolerate Such Actions here in Cloud Recesses, You are to go in the Back Mountain for Seclusion to think of what you have done and after that you will have a proper talk with this Young Master Wei.”

Then Lan Xichen butts in –

“Father… Young Master has been missing for a very long time now, I’m afraid he’s no longer here with us. We tried looking everywhere but there is no sign of him. and with the Wen Sect is looking for Young Master Wei as well, it seems that they have caught wind of what happened after the Revival and now they want Young Master Wei on their side and I fear they would succeed seeing that the whole Cultivation World is against Young Master Wei.”

“To earn the attention of Wen RuoHan, this Young Master Wei must be very Talented.” QingHeng-jun stated quietly.

“Talented beyond others his age, not only he is Talented, he is Gifted with Such Wisdom that he could Even utilise Resentful Energy and become the First Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation.” Lan Xichen said back glaring at Lan QiRen who look ready to say something.

“Ah, that same Unorthodox Path that his Young Highness the Nineteenth Prince Gu Chensha had Cultivated.” QingHeng-jun stated thoughtfully.

“Wei Wuxian had strayed to the righteous path!” Lan QiRen stated angrily.

Then QingHeng-jun looked at his brother and said –

“Will you say the same thing about his Young Highness the Nineteenth Prince Gu Chensha? As far as I have known, his Young Highness Prince Gu Chensha did a Cultivation Similar to Young Master Wei’s, will you say that Prince Gu Chensha had strayed too… tell me Brother, did young Master Wei Murdered People? Is he that Kind of Person who would kill in cold blood or is it that someone Manipulated him, frame him even.”

“The demonic path harms the body and the heart.” Lan QiRen argued. “Wei Wuxian had lost control and killed the Heir of Lanling Jin.”

“Unless someone agitated him and disrupted his control over his Cultivation.” Lan Xichen called out hinting on something.

“As far as I have known, Prince Gu Chensha and Young Master Wei had close if not Similar Cultivation, yet the Prince have not suffered any disorder in his Cultivation. Unless someone was trying to ruin Young Master Wei and would cause such imbalance in his Cultivation.” QingHeng-jun hummed Wracking his brain for any information.

“Like I said, Lanling Jin had Lusted after Young Master Wei’s Demonic Cultivation. They will do anything to have it and if they couldn’t, they will do anything to keep everyone from having him. if they can’ have Young Master Wei, No one Can as well.” Lan Xichen spat out in disgust. “They went so far as to Ruin him, by killing Lady Jiang Yanli.”

There was only silence… until QingHeng-jun broke it…

“Are you sure there is no trace of Young Master Wei?” He asked.

“No… no one had seen any trace of Young Master Wei, so far…” Lan Xichen answered.

“What about this Disciple of his… the one who killed you.” QingHeng-jun asked.

Lan Xichen froze… Why didn’t he think of that? If there’s only one Person who would know Young Master Wei’s Whereabouts it’s his only Disciple.

‘Xue Yang… I Will Find You…’ Lan Xichen thought to himself.

He needs to settle things with Xue Yang himself.

[QISHAN WEN]

Wen RuoHan stood before the Old Portrait, He painted this Portrait of a Person by Memory, he preserved this Portrait of the Person he once loved –

“Wei YinYu… I don’t care if it will start a war all over again… but I will never let the Last Wei go… I won’t let anyone have him…” He said to himself quietly and turned away. “I won’t break the Ancient Promise Between You and I had made.”

And with that he walked out of the Room to his throne room. He had lots of work to do, his search for Wei Wuxian will not stop until the boy is in his hands. He failed YinYu before, he will not fail this time. It makes his blood boil upon overhearing his Nephew Wen Ning had cried to his Sister Wen Qing about what Lanling Jin and Jin Guangshan did to YinYu’s Direct Descendant and he’s even more Furious of what Gusu Lan Clan had done.

It looks like he had to suppress more Sects who had hand on tormenting YinYu’s Descendant. He won’t let Lanling Jin and Gusu Lan go… at least those who had hand on YinYu’s Descendant’s Suffering.

But first, he had to find the boy and secure him here in Qishan.

~~++~~++~~++~~

[YI CITY]

[WEI YING’S DREAM]

He was standing at the cliff that overlooks the barren land of the Burial Mound, he missed this place, his Home… if only he could bring back what he had lost.

“Shizun…” A Very Familiar Voice called out from behind.

Wei Ying turned to look at the very familiar face of his Disciple –

“A-Yang…”

“Shizun… I’m glad that the Array Worked… I’m relieved.” Xue Yang said with relief in his voice.

“A-Yang!” Wei Ying Cried as he embraced his beloved Disciple. “A-Yang I’m so sorry, if only I had listened.”

“I don’t blame Shizun…” Xue Yang said softly returning the embrace. “They fooled Shizun so bad.”

“A-Yang… I’m so sorry it had come to this… I… I really missed you A-Yang…” Wei Ying cried as tears streams down on his face.

Xue Yang smiled brightly as bright as his Shizun’s smile.

“I miss you too Shizun… but, I want Shizun to know that I’m always on Shizun’s side even if the World is against Shizun.”

“A-Yang, I promise… I will live on and seek Justice (Read: Revenge) for Us and A-Yuan’s.” Wei Ying said.

The Xue Yang began to fade…

“I always know Shizun best, do what you have to do Shizun… And Live for Us…”

Wei Ying reached out to hold Xue Yang once more and cried, he cried and cried –

“Shizun, remember… No matter how Cruel the World will be, even if the World is against you, I’ll be with you… even if you can’t see me.” Xue Yang said as he fades into pearls of light.

[END DREAM]

“A-Yang!” Wei Ying Cried as he sat up from his bed.

He looked around and found that he’s in his room… he curled up and cried, his heart hurts so bad, he wanted his A-Yang back. But that would be impossible, not now… not in this kind of mess. If only he had listened to A-Yang’s warning before this won’t have happened, if only he hadn’t been so blind A-Yang would still be alive with him.

He wiped his tears and stood up, he had to prepare for the day, there’s much work to do. Yi City is his First Fortress, he will strengthen it up. But First he had to relearn the Demonic Cultivation therefore he had to Go to the Burial Mound, but First he had to get that Demonic Sword from the Xuanwu of Slaughter and Forge it into his Seal, Create ChenQing and then… And then Forge Suibian… He will Forge Suibian… even if he had Jiangzai… never again he will betray Suibian, he had to get Suibian back.

First Thing’s First…

The Stygian Tiger Seal…

He will gather up his Weapons…

And Then…

Take the World by a Storm…

[BURIAL MOUND]

Wei Ying stood before the Entrance of the Burial Mound, the Miasmic Resentful Energy is potent than the last time he remembered, was it because He’s not the Yiling Patriarch yet? The Resentful Energy is thick even at the entrance, whoever sets foot inside would surely won’t last long. Luckily he had a Yin Core suited for Cultivating Resentful Energy, so it’s not a problem for him to take in the Resentful Energy.

He sets foot inside the Mound but didn’t go deeper, he’s not ready to go further yet. He still needs the Stygian Tiger Amulet. So he sat on a nearby boulder and began Cultivating, tendrils of Resentful Energy approaches him slowly, and entering his body like a calm stream rather than a raging torrent. Little by little the Yin Core is getting Stronger and Stronger due to the steady supply of Resentful Energy, though he still needs to take precaution of taking in Resentful Energy as much as he could, he doesn’t want to suffer a Backlash.

His Yin Core is Pulsing in power, thrumming in his Dantians. Raising a hand he called up a small cloud of Resentful Energy in his palms, and no sooner as he summoned it the cloud of Resentful Energy danced in his fingertips as if waiting.

It is all Wei Ying need, this time he will Master the Demonic Cultivation without hindrance. After all, Wei Wuxian does not Exist in this Timeline, but Xue Yang is and he will make sure to Serve his Vengeance Cold. Once He fulfilled his Vengeance, He will live this life according to his and A-Yang’s Wishes… He will leave the Cultivation World behind and live in a faraway land where he can be at peace.

He stood up from his perch and look for the Ghost Bamboo, he wandered around until he stumbled on the said Ghost Bamboo, he took out Jiangzai and cut off a piece of the said Bamboo and Crafted his Beloved Dizi, Chenqing. But he shouldn’t use Chenqing carelessly or else he’ll get caught. It didn’t take long for Chenqing to be Crafted, he tested Chenqing out and as he did so, the Beautiful yet Deadly Melody of Chenqing had awaken the dead and answered his Call.

“Go To Gusu and Cause Chaos…” He Commanded.

And all the Dead that had risen on Chenqing’s Melody obeyed the Command and rushed heading to Gusu. Chenqing is filled with Resentment this Time around, the Dizi’s Power is deadlier and stronger.

“Now… Let’s head to Muxi Mountain to get the Stygian Tiger Seal.” He purred as he steps out of the Burial Mound.

He Swore to return, to utilise more Resentful Energy.

[TOWN OF YILING]

Wei Ying was minding his own business, until he came across a Slave Trader…

“This one came from Chang’An, A fairy captured by one of the Hunters.” The Slave trader called out.

Wei Ying curious about this show, then he noticed that Chenqing is reacting to something. When the Slaver took of the Cover of the Cage, there an androgynous man in colourful robes, an ethereal beauty is right before him, their eyes met and Wei Ying could see that the Slave in a Cage recognized him? Did they meet before? (Read: The Fox in Chapter 2…)

‘Chenqing is reacting to this Beauty?’ Wei Ying thought to himself, confused.

Chenqing doesn’t react to anyone, unless that person is a Spirit or something worse…

‘A Yaojing?’ Wei Ying thought to himself again.

And Jiangzai is also reacting because he could feel the Sword vibrating slightly. Something about this person is different. If both Jiangzai and Chenqing are reacting to this Person… then, this one is Worth keeping…

‘Besides… I need a Servant (Read: Companion) anyway.’ Wei Ying thought to himself.

Awhile ago, he managed to Pilfer a Merchant and stole his Gold and Silver. Spending some of the Gold would be Worth it if it means getting something good and it seems people are hesitating to buy the Servant… but then…

“I’ll Buy the Slave/Him.” He and a Lanling Jin Cultivator called out.

Wei Ying smirked at the Challenge as his eyes gleamed with murder.

“Look buddy, do you know who I am?” The Lanling Jin Disciple said arrogantly.

“Yeah, A Soon to be dead man for getting in my way.” Wei Ying said with a toothy blood-thirsty grin.

“I am from the Lanling Jin Sect! If You Kill Me, Sect Leader Jin won’t let you off!” The Lanling Jin Disciple called out.

Jiangzai broke free from his sheath and cut off the Lanling Jin Disciple’s head off.

“I don’t care even if you are from Qishan Wen Sect.” Wei Ying Spat venomously, oh how he hated Lanling Jin Sect.

Jiangzai returned to its sheath and stayed quiet, Wei Ying walked up to the cowering slave trader and throw a bag of Gold.

“Give me this Servant.” He demanded sternly.

“R-Right away sir!” The Slave Trader answered as he fumbled on the keys.

The Slave Trader tied the Slave’s Wrist and handed him the Rope. Wei Ying didn’t hesitate and took the Rope and pulled the said Slave indicating for the Slave to follow. The Said Slave did follow, once they reached  a Clearing, Wei Ying pulled Out Jiangzai and let it hover in the air.

“You, behave don’t even bother escaping I know how to deal with your kind.” He hissed.

The Slave seemed to understand and didn’t even dared to move, Wei Ying hopped on Jiangzai and pulled his newly acquired Slave close, the thing is… this Slave is taller than him.

“Stay still, we’re flying to Yi City.” He said as he firmly gripped the Slave’s narrow waist.

“Oh~!” The Slave Purred.

Did This Fox of a Slave just purred? Wei Ying tried not to Blush…

‘Since When Did I Become Ashamed Of Such A Thing?’ He cried mentally.

He shook his head and continued heading back to Yi City.

[HOURS LATER]

They arrived at the House after a long uncomfortable flight. Wei Ying dragged his newly acquired Servant.

“Kneel.” He commanded as he sits at the chair.

The Servant kneeled in front of Wei Ying and waited for more commands.

“Tell me Your Name and Where you are from… Yaojing.” Wei Ying purred dangerously.

A knowing smile painted on the Servant’s lips and purred –

“My Name is Ma ZiQiang, a Nine-Tailed Fox Yao and I hailed from Chang’An… My Lord.”

“So that Slave Trader wasn’t lying, You’re an Nine-Tailed Fox you should be powerful enough to break free.” Wei Ying hummed.

“Sadly, My Lord… My Power is Sealed by the Exorcists of Chang’An after the War between the Black Yao and the Humans, I fled so not to get caught in the Crossfire. However the Mortal Exorcists had helpers, thus I was caught and had my Powers Sealed. Enslaved to help the Humans, overtime I was passed down from Generations to Generations until the Children of Exorcists that caught me dwindled into nothingness, I was left alone guarding the Grave of my Masters. One Night of those same nights, Cultivators came to my Masters’ grave to Rob them. They wear White Robes emblazoned with the Red Sun, I managed to flee but was sadly caught in the trap of a Hunter. I am weakened enough to be captured by a Human. I was sold for Good Price, I had done many things I am not proud of such as Prostitution. Pleasuring Men and Women alike to keep myself alive.” ZiQiang Explained.

“Are there other things you are good at, aside from… Pleasuring Men and Women?” Wei Ying asked curiously.

“I am good at Housekeeping, Household Chores, If you want My Lord I can Kill the people You hate the Most.” ZiQiang purred as his eyes narrowed.

A Cold and Dark Smile appeared on Wei Ying’s face –

“Oh?” He purred.

ZiQiang lowered his head and answered –

“If My Lord Commands, I shall do My Lord’s Bidding. If Killing people is what My Lord’s Desire, I shall Kill for My Lord.”

Wei Ying moved his leg so the toe of his boots touches his Servant’s chin, tilting the said Servant’s head to look at him.

“You will do what I command you to without a Second thought?” Wei Ying asked.

“I Serve Only The Worthy, And You My Lord Are More Than Worthy.” ZiQiang answered.

Then the rope that binds ZiQiang was cut off…

“Then do what you do best.” Wei Ying huffed.

ZiQiang had a Foxy smile on his Face and crawled on his new Master’s lap and almost laughed when the said Master flinched –

“What do you think you’re doing?” Wei Ying hissed.

“Doing what I do best My Lord.” ZiQiang purred teasingly as he batted his eyelashes as he touched his Master’s Crotch. (A/N: *Cough Blood*…)

Veins pulsed on Wei Ying’s head… then grinned evilly, He hadn’t done it before… and before his Death he was the Receiving End, what would it feel like if he’s the Pitcher. (A/N: Gods this is Awkward.)

‘You wanna play, little fox… fine, I’ll play.’ He thought to himself.

He growled and grabbed his Servant by his hair…

“Ahn~! Master~!” ZiQiang groaned as his hair was tugged harshly.

“You want to play little Fox? I will Play with you.” Wei Ying hissed.

And he harshly kissed his Servant, the rush of being a Dominant one is addicting. He growled viciously as he pulled his Servant close flushing their bodies together.

“Mmn~!” ZiQiang Squeaked in surprise when he felt his Master’s Thing is hard, he smiled foxily and said. “My, My~! Master aren’t we excited.”

ZiQiang grounded his hips as his own Manhood brushed against his Master’s, He giggled when he heard his Master hissed, and the next thing he knew, he was being thrown to the bed his Robes torn harshly leaving him exposed to his Master’s eyes.

“Fox, You are going to be In for a Long Night…” Wei Ying grinned. “And I’ll make sure you’ll never be able to walk first thing tomorrow Morning.”

ZiQiang could only smirk taking on the Challenge.

[OUTSIDE THE HOUSE]

Song Lan and Xiao XingChen stood awkwardly, face and ears bright red at what they are hearing.

“Oohh~! Master please Harder~! Ahn~!”

“Harder You say? Don’t mind if I do…”

“Aahhnnn~!”

“Damned Fox!”

Xiao XingChen blushed even further, he didn’t know his Martial Nephew is this Passionate… Wait… Did his Martial Nephew bring Home a Man? But…

“Aahhnn~!”

Okay, maybe he and Zichen came home at a Wrong Time…

“Maybe we should return tomorrow.” XingChen squeaked as he clutched to Zichen’s arm tightly.

“Mn…” Zichen hummed and led XingChen away as fast as he could.

They don’t want to Disturb Wei Ying’s Night of Passion.

“Master Ahhnn~!”

They need to get away Fast….

[THE NEXT DAY]

Wei Ying steps out of the House with a big Smile on his Face, it was really refreshing. Then he blushed remembering what happened last night.

‘What was I thinking!?’ He scolded himself.

He facepalmed and dragged his hand on his face, he had just bought a Servant, talked and then harshly plucked his Servant’s Chrysanthemum. (A/N: I Blame The Person Who Told Me What Chrysanthemum means in Sexual Terms.)

Right Now, ZiQiang is sleeping and will probably sore once he wakes up…

“Well… not my fault, he asked for it.” Wei Ying said reassuring himself.

That Yaojing Fox will definitely Worth keeping… now not Only he gained his Demonic Cultivation, He got Chenqing and added Bonus… He had a Yaojing Fox… his Plans are budding into fruition.

He’s going to Forge the Stygian Tiger Seal by the Next Few Days…

“Soon… very soon…” Wei Ying thought to himself.

He will Forge the Very Weapon that the Whole Cultivation World Fear.

[IN THE XUE HOUSEHOLD]

[WEI YING’S DREAM]

He was walking in the barren lands of the Burial Mound, there is nothing but Darkness in there, the Wens are gone… A-Yuan is gone… no one was there.

“Wei Ying… Come Back To Gusu With Me…” A Very Familiar voice called out from behind him.

He turned and saw the very face of the Man he wanted to kill looking at him with those pitiable gaze… He wanted to scuff at the Bastard.

“A-Yuan is waiting in Gusu…” Lan Wangji said softly.

He wanted to tear this man apart…

Everything went Dark after that, and then there was pain… Bichen was stabbed through him, then the face of Lan Wangji flashed though his vision…

“I Never Loved Wei Wuxian, Only Pretended to Love him, to lure him in and eradicate him and his Evil Deeds.” He stated flatly and turned to the door. “The one I loved the Most… is Mo XuanYu…”

A Petite young Man stood by the door with head held down as if in shame. He felt his heart cracked…

“Ah… As a Present to the Yiling Patriarch…” The Jin Disciple sneered as he opened the box.

As the Box Opened, hisheart was shattered into million pieces as there inside the box is the head of his Beloved A-Yuan, his child! They killed him!

He began screaming his heart out… Shattering the horrible nightmare as he was left in the Darkness

He Screamed…

And Screamed…

And Screamed…

Then two strong arms wrapped around him as his back leaned on someone and felt warmth. Then a Hand covered his eyes but he caught sight of Nine Furry Tails, a pair of Fox Ears and Red Vulpine Eyes.

“Master, They are just a Horrible Dream… They’re not real…” The Soft Yet Powerful Voice of ZiQiang whispered on his ears. “It’s time to wake up, My Lord.”

[END DREAM]

Wei Ying gasped and sat up from his bed, he clutched his chest as he tried to calm his racing heart.

“My Lord…?” A Soft Voice Lilted right beside him.

And the Next thing he knew is that same strong arms wrapped around him as his back leaned on someone and that same Warmth.

“Did My Lord have a Bad Dream?” ZiQiang cooed softly.

Wei Ying choked a sob and clung to his Companion desperately, burying his face on his Servant’s Chest and cried his pain out.

ZiQiang continued holding his Master tightly and comfortingly, he had seen countless Mortals cried and had comforted Countless of them, the Young and the Old… including the Second Ancestor of Wei, Wei YinYu…

‘Humans are such a Fragile thing…’ He thought to himself, but smiled knowingly. ‘But My Master is Different…’

He had watched his Master Fall and rose up again… Much like a Phoenix… he knew that Wei Wuxian would never surrender nor will give in to anyone.

And He will be here to Protect the Descendant of Wei…

.

.

.

.

.

Some time later, Wei Ying looked down in Guilt while his Servant was cooking some food…

“It’s fine really… You had a bad dream.” ZiQiang said trying to ease his Master.

Wei Ying just grumbled an apology and looked up when his Martial Uncle and Song Lan entered the Kitchen.

“Good Morning…” XingChen greeted with a smile.

“Good Morning Uncle.” Wei Ying greeted back.

ZiQiang served the Breakfast Just as Song Lan and Xiao XingChen sat on their places.

“A-Ying, Zichen and I will be away for a couple of Days to Visit some Sects, please do be careful when you go around. The Great Sects are still out there looking for you.” XingChen said softly.

“Don’t worry Uncle… I will be careful and beside, they won’t know that I am Wei Wuxian… and besides, Uncle… in this timeline… The Wei Wuxian that everyone knows, does not exist and in his place is the Disciple Xue Yang and A-Yang is not even my Disciple in this Timeline, he’s just a wandering Cultivator.” Wei Ying answered back with a smile.

“But still be very careful, the Wen Clan are looking for you too.” Song Lan added firmly.

“I’ll be careful, Uncle Zichen.” Wei Ying answered back.

[LATER THAT DAY]

When Xiao XingChen and Song Lan are gone, Wei Ying began to proceed on his Plan for the Day.

“Forging the Stygian Tiger Seal will take a Day or Two, so You go to Yunmeng and go to the Blacksmith’s House to Forge my Second Sword.” Wei Ying said handing over the Blueprint of Suibian to his Servant.

“Of Course, My Lord.” ZiQiang answered as he takes the Blueprint.

“If I don’t come back on the Tenth Day, Come find me at Muxi Mountain, there’s a hidden Cavern there.” Wei Ying said firmly.

“As My Lord’s Wishes…” ZiQiang stated and disappeared in a blur.

Once his Servant left Wei Ying mounted Jiangzai and headed to the Cavern where the Xuanwu of Slaughter would be.

[LATER THAT DAY]
[YUNMENG, BLACKSMITH’S HOUSE]

Li XiaoShun was finishing up the Sword that was Commissioned to him by Sect Leader Jiang. He’s working as hard as he could as he is always Busy making swords for Cultivators that comes on his Workshop. He heard rumours lately about the Missing boy of the Wei, no one knows where the Child was and he had no idea why the Great and Small Sects are looking for one Child. He had an inkling feeling that the Child they seek is some sort of Golden Egg that whoever finds the boy will bring them Luck.

Even Sect Leader Wen is looking for the Boy, but the said boy couldn’t be found… he prayed that the Boy should stay hidden, who knows what calamity will befall on him once he’s found. He knows how Greedy Cultivators can be when they have something no one could have.

“Master Li, We Have a Costumer!” His Assistant called out.

He placed the Finished Hammer on the rack and took the finished sword to the main house and went to meet with the New Costumer. As he enters the Main House he froze on his step when he saw his new Costumer…

A Very Pretty Costumer at that… Long Blackish brown hair tied in a Half ponytail with loose fringes framing the almost feminine face, Sharp, alluring red eyes framed by long lashes and thin Layers of Colourful Robes that hugs the slim almost feminine figure.

“Are you the Blacksmith? I’m here to Commission a Sword for my Master.” A Sweet alluring lilt calls out from the Costumer with a Seductive smile.

He swallowed and nodded his head…

Oh Boy… He’s going to be In for a Long Day…

(A/N: And This Is Where Our Poor Blacksmith is Doomed…)

[OUTSIDE THE SHOP]


The Poor Assistant just tried to ignore the New Costumer and throw his own Master Under the Carriage and leave… this New Costumer is really strange, but a Costumer is a Costumer, they couldn’t complain.

Before he Left, he put a sign saying:

“請勿打擾!” (Trans.: Do Not Disturb!)

And flee…

[MUXI MOUNTAIN]

Wei Ying landed at the foot of the Mountain, as he dismount his Sword he had this feeling that ZiQiang is up to something… but he brushed it off and continued his ventures. If that Fox is causing trouble he’s going to pull that Fox’s Tail. He walked around a bit, then he stumbled on the very place where he and the others gathered to find the Xuanwu of Slaughter…

But this time… He’s going to look for the Xuanwu of Slaughter by Himself, Chenqing is buzzing with Resentful Energy.

“Oh?” Wei Ying hummed. ‘Seems like Chenqing could sense it.’

And Wei Ying proceed to look for that Secret Entrance, He wondered if he should kill the Xuanwu of Slaughter or let it live for later. He knew in this Timeline, they are yet to attend the Archery Competition in Nightless City, so he still has time to Forge the Stygian Tiger Seal.

‘Gusu Lan, Lanling Jin, Moling Su, Yao Clan, Yueyang Chang Clan… all of them will pay…’ Wei Ying thought to himself as he smirks.

It’s good that Wen Sect are revived too, since everyone’s attention would be to them and not to him, it gives him a semblance of freedom until the Time is right. The Wen Sect will keep the people busy, while he complete his Work… he had lots of work to do…

He Had His Demonic Cultivation…

He Had Chenqing…

He Had A Yaojing Servant…

He Will Have His Stygian Tiger Seal Back…

With Yi City as his First Fortress…

And Soon The Burial Mound As His Empire…

His Vengeance Will Be Complete.

He had to be very patient… after all… Patience is a Virtue…

Patience is a Virtue that Freezes the Burning Vengeance Cold for later Use.

[XUANWU CAVERN]

He carefully approaches the Slumbering Beast, it’s been so long since he’d been here… He remembers his time with Lan Wangji here in this accursed Cavern.

[BRIEF FLASHBACK]

“You don’t know what to say? Fine, I should’ve known. Then, if you don’t know what to say, can you sing? How about you sing a song?”

It had originally be an offhand remark. He was chatting with Lan WangJi to pass the time and didn’t at all expect him to agree. Yet, after a few moments of silence, a low yet mild voice echoed softly through the hollow cave.

Lan WangJi really did begin to sing.

Wei WuXian closed his eyes, turned around, and spread out his limbs, “It sounds nice.”

He asked, “What’s it called?”

Lan WangJi seemed to murmur something. Wei WuXian opened his eyes, “What was it called again?”

[END]

Wei Ying growled at the unwanted memory, he quickly dismissed it… he doesn’t need to remember his time with that Betrayer… he had to Focus on Forging the Seal, so he steps forward a bit more, alerting the slumbering beast. The said beast raised its head and looked down at the intruder.

It seems to notice his Resentful Energy and the Energy that seeps out of Chenqing…

“It’s been a while… Xuanwu…” Wei Ying grinned as he twirled Chenqing between his fingers.

The Xuanwu just roared and charged at him, He swung Chenqing to repel the giant beast away from him as Resentful Energy starts to gather.

“Now, Now… I’m not here to be your food, I came here for the Sword…” He chimed as more and more Resentful Energy gather.

He raised up his hand as if summoning something, the Xuanwu roared loudly. The Sword that was stuck under the Xuanwu’s Shell answers his calling and floats towards its new bearer. The Resentful Energy that gathers around the cave is getting stronger and stronger, the Xuanwu roaring and flailing as Wei Ying starts Forging the Seal.

The Sword bends and reshaping according to its new Master’s Will, Forming into a New Kind of Weapon… The Resentful Energy entering the Seal as if being Carved by it, The Roar of the Xuanwu is deafening and the Screams of the Souls that was trapped within the Sword is just as deafening.

It will take a while to tame the Souls, but that’s fine… he had time in his hand, he’s not in a rush and besides… there is nothing holding him back. Qishan Wen can cause as much trouble as they want, he’ll just be on the side waiting until all Sects tear each other apart.

Qishan Wen is not his main Target anyways… Gusu Lan and Lanling Jin, they are his Target alongside those who plotted against him that fateful night, and He won’t forget his Revenge for his Disciple.

“All Of Them Will Pay…” He Whispered Bitterly and Darkly.

The Resentful Energy danced around him and the Seal…

The Whole Cultivation World Will Understand That A Kind Man Like Him Had An Anger That Can Be Feared.

“Let’s See How The Cultivation World Deal With Two Evils…” He Grinned Evilly.

He Wondered Which One Is The Lesser Evil Between Him and Qishan Wen…

[BACK AT ZIQIANG]

ZiQiang could only smile as the Blacksmith tries to avoid him at all cost, though it’s fun to tease this Blacksmith, ever since he set foot on the Shop the poor man is red in the face. He just can’t help it, the Blacksmith is just too cute to not to tease. The Apprentices are scampering around as if trying to avoid him and the Blacksmith.

“How long will it take for you to Finish the Sword?” ZiQiang asked tilting his head to the side curiously.

The Poor Blacksmith stopped Hammering the High Carbon Steel and turned to his unusual Customer and said –

“Well… I got experience creating swords in record time, and I am also a Cultivator with high Cultivation… Maybe a week or so I could finish the Sword you’re asking.”

“Oh?” He Purred and almost giggled when the Blacksmith twitched while hammering the Special Steel.

He could tell that the poor man is trying not to make any unnecessary move. His eyes wander around the man’s figure, he got good muscles from forging Swords and so on, the way those muscles flex every time the Blacksmith forging the sword, those arms muscular and strong women would die wanting to be held by those strong arms.

And he noticed that the Blacksmith had a rather intricate tattoo on his body…

‘Charming…’ ZiQiang thought to himself.

“Please keep Your Distance, it’s dangerous to be too close to the fire and burning steel.” XiaShun stammered as he glanced at his curious Customer.

ZiQiang pouted a bit but stays where he was sitting, but giggled anyways…

“How long have you been doing this Blacksmithing business?” He asked.

“Umm… about, When I am able to lift a Forging Hammer… about when I’m 10…” XiaoShun answered wistfully.

“Oh? That long? No wonder you got good figure.” ZiQiang said shamelessly.

XiaoShun almost dropped the hammer on his own foot and the Apprentices almost tripped on their own foot, some even had the audacity to snicker at their Master’s Misfortune. The poor fellow really is as red as the forging fire.

“P-Please don’t say such things…” XiaoShun stuttered and continued hammering the Steel this time with a perfect force.

“Boo~♪ I’m only speaking the truth… Why being shy about it.” ZiQiang pouted and looks away.

“W-Well… I-Ummm…” XiaoShun stuttered as his face is getting redder.

[APPRENTICES VIEW]

They don’t know whether to laugh or cry, their Master and the Customer are at it again. They don’t know what’s going on but by the looks of it, their Master had a very unusual Customer, this is the first time they met such a Customer, dressed in a Fancy Clothing yet doesn’t mind spending time in the Workshop as their Master Working on the Requested Spiritual Sword.

They knew their Master could Forge Spiritual Sword that’s why he’s famous and sought after, yet their Master chose to live a normal life as a Blacksmith here in Yunmeng. Cultivators Comes In With Commission for Spiritual Sword and Go with their Sword. They pay a good price so no one’s complaining.

They’ve seen and met Cultivators whether they are Rouges or not, but this time… they have a very unusual Customer in their hands, this Customer is rather Beautiful for a Man and it seems, this Customer had his eyes on their Master… and their Master… the poor Man seems to be having troubles on interacting with such a person.

Their Master had been a Single man throughout his entire life, don’t get them wrong… there had been Countless Women tried to get on their Master’s Pants, but none of them Succeeded. Their Master is Just too Stubborn And Clueless (Read: Or he just doesn’t pay attention…), Yet here this Customer seems to be flirting with their Master…

And their Master is getting embarrassed?

Maybe this Customer might be the one who can finally Bed their Stubborn Master…

“I Bet Master’s going to Do it, tonight…” Apprentice 1 whispered.

“No Way, I say Tomorrow…” Apprentice 2 hissed quietly.

And the Bet was on…

[BACK AT ZIQIANG]

He almost laughed when he heard the Apprentices make their bets, well he wouldn’t mind being Bedded by the Blacksmith tonight. (A/N: *Cough Blood* YOU… YOU… SHAMLESS!) He licked his Lips slightly… He really don’t mind at all…

.

.

.

.

.

Later by Sunset, XiaoShun finished up his Work for the Next Day…

“Would you like to have Dinner?” The Blacksmith asked quite Shyly.

ZiQiang grinned at the Shyness, it’s really endearing for someone strong and Well-built the Blacksmith is too shy for his own good.

“Of Course, Please lead the way…” He chimed happily.

“I hope you wouldn’t mind Spicy food, people here in Yunmeng like their food with Spice.” XiaoShun said as he leads the way to an eating place.

ZiQiang smiled and said –

“Oh, I wouldn’t mind at all.” He wouldn’t mind because he had eaten his Master’s Spicy Congee, and it’s a Miracle he didn’t die after eating that horrid thing, even King Yama wouldn’t dare eating his Master’s Congee.

He ignored the stares and glares he gets from Men and Women alike, even clung to that Muscular Arm to Provoke the Women that was glaring at him, completely oblivious to XiaoShun’s discomfort. ZiQiang could only smirk upon reading the Women’s mind –

“Who is this Bitch!?”

“How Dare he cling to my Man’s Arm!”

“Bitch Back Off! He’s Mine!”

“This Whore! How Dare He!?”

ZiQiang gave the Jealous Women a Smirk and did one of his Shameless deeds by moving closer to the embarrassed Blacksmith, his flat (A/n: pfft…) Chest squished against the poor Blacksmith’s bicep. He smirked wider when he heard the poor man let out a quiet choked whimper. He could see the man tried to hide his blushing face, but he couldn’t hide his blushing ears.

ZiQiang smirked and leaned close whispering on the Blacksmith’s Ear –

“Shun’er, How about we do it tonight?”

The poor blacksmith could almost see his life flashing before his eyes, this Customer is too foxy for his own good.

“You are playing a dangerous game…” XiaoShun whispered huskily looking down at his Foxy Customer.

“Oh I like Danger…” ZiQiang smirked challengingly. (A/N: You Are Danger Itself! Danger for My Heart!)

.

.

.

.

And that’s how ZiQiang found himself on the Blacksmith’s bed that night on his First Day in Yunmeng, with the said Blacksmith giving him what he wants

“For someone strong you sure are too scared to do it hard.” ZiQiang said shamelessly.

“I don’t wanna hurt you…” XiaoShun said looking away.

ZiQiang rolled his eyes and flipped their position over so he’s on top and this Shy Blacksmith on the bottom…

“Oh Please, just because I’m New doesn’t mean I’m scared to do it the Hard Way.” He smirked making XiaoShun blush and he leans forward whispering – “I Like It Rough, so don’t be scared… so… Should I do it… or You want to do it?”

“….” XiaoShun is speechless Shy? Yes, Scared hurting his Bedmate? Yes… but since this Minx liked it rough… “Don’t Mind If I Do It Rough Then…”

He reached out and flipped their position over, ZiQiang looked at his Partner eagerly, he knew XiaoShun is a bit tipsy from the Liquor they drank earlier, who knew this Fellow could drink so many and couldn’t get drunk just tipsy.

“Then give me your best shot, Handsome~♪” ZiQiang purred scratching the Blacksmith’s chin.

(A/N: ZiQiang Stahp!)

[MUCH LATER]

[SOME UNLUCKY BASTARD’S VIEW]

Li XiZhi, One of the Best Assistant of Sect Leader Jiang, Older Brother of the renowned Blacksmith in Yunmeng. He’s Working hard for the sake of his remaining Family, he’s risking his Life every day, Working tirelessly and coming home late at night.

There are times he never comes home at all due to busy schedule…

And Tonight is one of those night he comes home, the Workshop is too Quiet, the Apprentices are out somewhere in the Red light District again.

He wondered what’s his brother doing?

So he went upstairs to Surprise his Brother, but as he proceeds he could hear weird noises –

“Oh Shun’er, Yes~!” Came a muffled voice in XiaoShun’s room.

“Was that okay?” That was definitely XiaoShun’s voice.

“More than Okay… There! Right There! Please Ahhnnn~!” That unfamiliar voice moaned.

“Okay…” XiaoShun answered shortly.

And more weird sound came from XiaoShun’s room and erotic noises…

“Ahhhnnn~! Shun’er~! Please~!”

“…” Li XiZhi coughed up blood from shock…

(A/N: *Coughing Up Blood Too* …. )

Quickly and Silently Li XiZhi attached a Silencing Talisman on his Brother’s Door to keep any noises from being heard by everyone, his face was so hot from embarrassment. He quickly left the House to not Disturb his Younger Brother’s Night of Passion… Well… XiaoShun is a Grown Man and he needs to Let it Off…

But Damn…

He came back to the Jiang Manor and worked himself back to the bone to forget what he had heard.

“What’s wrong with you? You’re excited to go home awhile ago, now you look like you don’t wanna go home.” Zhu WuMing said with one brow raised.

And Li XiZhi bawled –

“I can’t believe my Shy Little Brother is Bedding someone…”

Zhu WuMing coughed up blood, he looked at his companion like he had grown three heads.

“You’re joking… Shy, too Scared to bed women XiaoShun brought home a woman -” WuMing said but was cut off.

“He brought home a Man…” XiZhi cried wiping his tears away futilely.

WuMing wanted to faint right then and there… for as long as he had known the Li Family, XiaoShun is the Shyest of them all…

“He got Laid before you… and it’s not even a Woman he’s Romancing…” WuMing said quietly.

“Man or Woman… I don’t care… my Little Brother is all grown up now…” XiZhi cried.

“He’s already an adult, he’s not a child… he can bed whoever he wants.” WuMing Shots back flatly.

“This is his First Time! First Time!” XiZhi argued.

“Ah, that’s because he avoids the advances those Women on the Red Light District… I feel Sorry for them for not being able to get on Shun’er’s Pants… and some unknown man beat them to it.” WuMing coughed to cover his laughter.

“But still… Shun’er beat his Big Brother to it and got himself laid…” XiZhi cried.

“There, there…” WuMing sighed patting his Old Friend’s back.

[OUTSIDE THE DOOR]

Jiang FengMian could only stare at the door, he had just overheard his Right-Hand Man and Assistant talking about Yunmeng’s Blacksmith getting Laid… as far as he had known, Li XiaoShun is Famous around Women… but to think that the man just got himself laid is surprising, knowing his status as a Single Man and Many Women on the Streets vying for his attention, some even bold enough to try and get on his Tight Pants.

He wondered who could have won the elusive Blacksmith’s Heart.

[BACK AT WEI WUXIAN]

He knew he should focus on his Forging, but he couldn’t get this feeling in his gut out… he knew ZiQiang is doing something stupid… he shook his head… he had to Focus, he can’t lose grip on his Control on the Seal… he had to assert his dominance on the Wild Weapon, he couldn’t afford to repeat his Previous Mistake…

‘I won’t make the same Mistake ever again…’ He gnashed his teeth and focused. ‘I won’t lose control ever again! Never!’

Resentful Energy Swirls around him as he Marks his Control on the Seal… The Xuanwu has long been silence, avoiding him at all cost.

He won’t fail this time…

He won’t let his Shijie – Jiang Yanli and Jin ZiXuan die…

He will make his Priorities…

Once this is done…

He will Set his Priorities.

[8 DAYS LATER]

[YUNMENG, BLACKSMITH WORKSHOP]

The Sword is finished and ZiQiang is spending his last day with the Still Shy Blacksmith.

“It’s going to get lonely here…” Apprentice 1 whispered.

“Yeah, Master’s Boyfriend is going back home…” Apprentice 2 added.

XiaoShun wanted to berate his Apprentices for gossiping, but a light laugh from his Lover by his side stopped him from doing so. He couldn’t believe he hooked someone as Beautiful as ZiQiang as his Lover… and it only happened within the span of a week, his Older Brother told him that it took their Father Months to finally get their Mother…

“It’s a Surprise that You managed to hook someone so beautiful even if he’s a guy.” XiZhi chuckled in amusement. “But… Damn Bruh, A Week, You got a Pretty Lover In A Week!”

XiaoShun could only blush at what his Older Brother told him. then he heard a soft giggle right beside him –

“What are you thinking?” ZiQiang chimed fluttering his lashes.

“Nothing, Just going to miss you…” XiaoShun Said as he leads his Pretty Fox to the Main Hall.

ZiQiang held the Sword close and smiled wistfully, he knew the feeling of lovesickness, of loneliness and of longing… Yeah, he’ll Miss this Good-looking, Shy Blacksmith… It’s been Hundreds of Years since he felt this kind of Yearning… to Love Once Again… he’s very Curious about him –

‘Why do I always fall in-love with a Blacksmith?’ He thought to himself.

A Thousand Years Ago He Fell In-Love with the Blacksmith in Chang’An, his name was Luo BaiShun. He remembered that day like it was Yesterday –

~~**~~

During the Tianbao period in Chang’An, Yao qi in the human world surge and the world's demonic qi slowly accumulate day by day, and Yaoguai roams all over Chang’An. He is among those Yaojing that Roams Chang’An, He is Powerful Enough to transform into Human Form. For Years he roamed all over Chang’An, that is until he fought a Female 8 Tailed Fox named Guo Guo who disguised herself as one of the Emperor’s Concubines.

Now he’s not a Bad Fox, unless he is given a reason to be a Bad Yaojing…

He was already wounded back then, after fighting Guo Guo and the Exorcists are after him. to trap him they asked for the Blacksmith’s Aid, that’s where Luo BaiShun enters. The Blacksmith had trapped him in a Mystical Arrayed Cage, for days he was trapped in that Cage, until the Emperor Decreed that Luo BaiShun Would be his Handler Until He is Tamed enough to Serve the Humans. He’s not very happy being domesticated by these Mortals, it’s an insult to someone in his Status as a High Ranking Yaojing. He fought Luo BaiShun many times and he always lose against the Blacksmith, he wanted to kill him. He would Never Understand the Humans, until Luo BaiShun had taught him things he needed to know, He always fear the Greed hidden within the Human Hearts. There are Good and Bad People in the World and that Luo BaiShun is among the Good People. He’s not Greedy nor Cruel, he is just a Blacksmith who is trying to Survive.

He learned to Love Luo BaiShun, until that Day he was taken away from the Man he learned to Love… He Served as the Guardian of the Wei Clan in Chang’An… He missed Luo BaiShun and Wei YinYu understood his Feelings so Wei YinYu allowed him to visit Luo BaiShun often…

But… One Fateful Day… When he went to Visit his Beloved Blacksmith… Luo BaiShun… He was Murdered… he had no idea who killed his Lover, but the way BaiShun was killed is rather Cruel… a huge cut on his stomach, a slit on his throat and a Stab through his Heart by Three Swords… He felt his Heart Broke into Million Pieces at the Sight of the very Human he loved. He don’t know what happened back then as his vision darkens, and the next time he woke up, he’s back in his Cage.

Wei YinYu told him that he had lost Control of himself and that Luo BaiShun has already been buried, however he is not allowed to visit his Beloved’s grave… As days become weeks, Weeks become Months and Months have become Years, he is left here in his Cage guarding the Tomb of his Benefactors. He heard that there was a War between the Yaos and the Humans, the Black Jiao Dragon has returned and wrecked havoc across Chang’An, however 5 Cultivators Came and fought the Black Jiao Dragon and defeated the said Yao.

He wondered who those Great Cultivators were… but that didn’t change the fact that Luo BaiShun is dead… For Hundreds of Years he waited, until the Tomb he’s Guarding was ransacked for treasures and for him to be taken away, that’s how he ended up meeting his New Master, the Descendant of Wei YinYu he met him before as a Fox, he knew what happened, he had foreseen a Descendant of Wei YinYu who came from the Past and returned to the Past in the Body of his Disciple, he watched Wei YinYu’s Descendant Struggle but he did not interfere. And now that they are back in the Past. He found himself caught again, by a deity Binding Rope.

He knew he wouldn’t find Love in that Moment, for he had Priorities to do… But then He Met Li XiaoShun, the Blacksmith of Yunmeng. When he first meet the man, he’s nothing Special, but upon seeing the Blacksmith once… he saw the Spirit of Luo BaiShun… and there he knew… Luo BaiShun and Li XiaoShun are one at the same… his Beloved Luo BaiShun has been Reborn into Li XiaoShun. He had sworn that night, that no matter what he will protect Li XiaoShun and won’t let History repeat itself. So that night while they Slept together he put a Spell on XiaoShun that will alert him if the Blacksmith is in Danger…

He won’t let XiaoShun die…

~~**~~

“Zi’er, we’re at the gates…” XiaoShun called out softly.

ZiQiang blinked and noticed that they are indeed at the gates, wow how deep was he in thoughts that he didn’t noticed everything at all… Why of all time he had to remember that Horrible Past, it hurts him to remember Luo BaiShun, and his Death… then he felt rough fingers brushed softly right below his eyes…

“Zi’er… why are you crying?” XiaoShun asked worriedly.

ZiQiang smiled and wiped his tears away and said –

“Oh… it’s nothing really, it’s just that I’m going to miss you…”

“You can always visit me, if you want…” XiaoShun said smiling softly ruffling his Lover’s soft and Silky hair.

“I hope you won’t mind me Surprise Visiting you then?” ZiQiang said with a happy smile standing in front of his Lover.

“Nope… I wouldn’t mind at all, though it would be lonely once you leave.” XiaoShun said with a sad smile.

“I’ll come and visit more often then… but for now…” ZiQiang said and tippy toed kissing XiaoShun on the lips. “We have to part ways, no worries… we’ll see each other again soon~!”

He then mounted his Horse, but before he left he turned and said –

“I Love You…” And he rode off to the distance.

[LI XIAOSHUN’S SHORT VIEW]

He watched his Lover go, but the Parting words his Foxy Lover said made him smile and his Heart flutter. And he touched his lips and smiled, that parting kiss is innocent… very opposite of the kisses a few days ago.

“Oh~! Looks Like Our Little Shun Shun is In Love.” One of the Gate Guards chimed fluttering his lashes.

He turned to the Gate Guard wide eyed.

“W-Wait… No!” He tried to protest. “You got it all wrong!”

“Who d'you think you're kidding, He's the earth and heaven to you, Try to keep it hidden. Honey we can see right through you, Boy you can't conceal it, We know how you're feeling Who you thinking of.” Five Cut sleeves Gate Guard sang…

“N-Nooo~! Please don’t, You got it wrong! We’re friends!” He kept on denying but his blushing face said the opposite.

“Boy you can't deny it Who you are is how you're feeling Baby we're not buying Hon we saw you hit the ceiling Face it like a grown-up.” Gate Guard 1 sang.

“When you gonna own up” Gate Guard 2 added.

“That you got” Gate Guard followed.

“Got” Gate Guard 4 sang.

“Got it bad” Gate Guard 5 sang.

He raised up his hands and said –

“At least out loud I won't say I'm in love”

(A/N: You’re In Love! Face It!)

And he fled back to his Workshop, he had swords to Finish… he knew his Zi’er is going to visit so why being sad?

[XUANWU CAVE]

It’s the Eighth Day, Wei Ying was resting after taming the Majority of the Resentful Energy within the Seal. He’s almost done, two more days and he’ll be done completing the Seal… he can’t give up just now… He finished up the last of his Loquat, he could perform inedia for two days…

“I had to finish this up in two days… the Archery Competition is within 7 Days by now, and I bet Suibian is done by now as well.” He muttered to himself.

He looked down at the Almost Tamed Seal, the Seal wasn’t emitting Resentful Energy like it used to. If one would look it’s like an ordinary trinket, but in the eyes of those who knew the Stygian Tiger Seal, it’s a Weapon… A Weapon that everyone in the Cultivation World Feared.

Once he’s done here, He’ll rest for the rest of the remaining days before the Archery Competition, and he could hardly wait to see what’s going to happen next.

The Board has already been laid down, all it needs now are the Chess Pieces…

He could hardly wait…

He raised up the Seal and continued his Taming…

[YI CITY]

[XUE HOUSEHOLD]

[2 DAYS LATER]

ZiQiang was happily sweeping the ground of leaves, he had been counting the days he’d been waiting for his Master to return, he knows the Stygian Tiger Seal… It’s a Wild Artefact that only Demonic Cultivators could use and Taming it would take some time and his Master just knew how to do it.

He wondered where Lord Xiao XingChen and Lord Song Lan went for them to travel around for days on end?

He looked around him and grinned, the Mist that covers the Lonely City of Yi is Vanishing returning the light to the gloomy City, dead trees starts to sprout leaves again and the ground is not as dead as it used to, there are Grass and flowers blooming and in a few distance from the House there’s a Clear River flowing where the Lotus Bloom…

“Hmmm~! Maybe we need a Bigger House, it only fits for Master to live in a Bigger House rather than a Small One… and Besides… a Cunning Rabbit had more than one Burrows… and Master would need More than One House…” ZiQiang hummed thoughtfully, he knew those Greedy, Hypocritical People would Raid his Master’s Home, so he Ma ZiQiang the Nine-Tailed Fox would Built Houses for his Master.

Maybe he could Built a House in Dafan, in North Yiling Border, in West Meishan… and maybe they could use that Secret Cavern in Chang’An.

“Judging what happened before, Master will definitely need places to hide… who knew what’s going to happen this time.” ZiQiang said to himself.

He looked up and saw his Master flying from the distance, Luckily he cooked food not too long ago, he could heat it up.

[MUCH MORE LATER]

Wei Ying could only stare at those Fuzzy Fox Tail and a Pair of Ears on his Servant… he was done eating -

‘Is his Tail wagging?’ Wei Ying thought to himself as he kept staring at the Fuzzy Tail. It look soft and he wants to hug that Tail.

And he noticed that the House is getting Bigger by day…

“ZiQiang, I noticed the House is getting bigger… do you have anything to do with it?” He asked.

“Yes, it’s one of my ability to expand the living space. No way my Master will live in a small house.” The Fox Yao yipped happily.

There was silence for a moment until ZiQiang remembered the Sword and went to get it. Once he had the Sword he placed it on the Table.

“That was a quick…” Wei Ying hummed as he took the Sword out of the Sheath.

The Sword gleamed as it was out of the Sheath.

“What are you going to name it?” ZiQiang asked tilting his head to the side.

“Suibian…” Wei Ying answered.

ZiQiang blinked and stared at his Master like he had grown two heads.

“Pardon for my impertinence Master but… Excuse Me?” He asked incredulously.

Wei Ying laughed till his Stomach is hurting and chortled –

“The Sword’s name… Suibian… it’s the same name as the sword I have before.”

“Oh… I thought you’re just pulling my leg…” ZiQiang answered unsurely.

“So… How’s your Day in Yunmeng…” Wei Ying asked looking at his Fox Servant.

ZiQiang’s Fox Ears flopped down at the back of his head and his tail flopped on the floor –

“About that…” he trailed off.

Wei Ying just stared at his Fox Servant…

What The Fuck Moment…

“What The Fuck!? The Blacksmith? Seriously!?” Wei Ying shouted.

“It’s not intentional!” ZiQiang lied.

Wei Ying grabbed ZiQiang’s Fox tail and pulled it hard, making the Fox Yao yelp in pain.

“You Seduced the Blacksmith and Bedded him of all people!” He yelled as he pulled on the Fox Tail.

“He’s the one who bedded me! Not Me! Kyaaaa!” ZiQiang squealed.

“But you’re the one who Seduced him into bedding you!” Wei Ying shots back.

“Master is just Jealous because he doesn’t have someone to bed him!” ZiQiang whined. “Or is that Master doesn’t know how to Seduce someone into bedding him?”

“You Shameless Cheeky Fox!” Wei Ying grounded…

And he pulled on the tail hard.

“Kyaaaa!!!” ZiQiang Squealed in pain.

[A FEW HOURS LATER]

XingChen and Song Lan could only stare at their Resident Yao on the floor, whining and groaning while holding the twitching tail.

“Master, why must you pull my tail hard…” The Fox Yao whined.

“That’s what you get for messing with me.” Wei Ying huffed. “Hi! Uncle XingChen, Uncle Song…”

XingChen just smiled in greeting and said –

“What did Zi-er do this time?”

“Well… He Seduced the Blacksmith of Yunmeng, that’s what.” Wei Ying glared at his Servant.

“…” Song Lan is speechless, of course he knew of the Blacksmith in Yunmeng Li XiaoShun the man is really good in what he is doing, he could finish a sword in record time if he put his mind into it. And for Zi’er to Seduce the extremely Shy Blacksmith is unheard off…

“Oh, I heard rumours lately, that Li XiaoShun had a Lover, and I guess it’s Zi’er whom they are talking about.” XingChen said helpfully.

Wei Ying glared at his petulant Servant who smirked at him. He swear He’ll get his revenge on this Fox.

“By the way, I heard Sect Leader Wen will held An Archery Competition in Nightless City, All Rogue Cultivators are welcome to attend if they want to… What are your plans?” XingChen asked curiously.

“I’ll go, I want to see how everyone’s doing and beside… I want to test out something.” Wei Ying answered as he ran his finger on the Stygian Tiger Seal.

“Just Be Very Careful, it’s too early for everyone to know who you are.” Song Lan said quietly.

“I will…” Wei Ying answered and turned to his Fox Servant and said. “Fox, you are going to help me train.”

Wei Ying smirked when he saw ZiQiang’s Tail Quivered, and the look of Horror on the Fox’s face is quite a sight to see…

“Nooooo~!” ZiQiang whimpered as he was dragged out of the house…

“…” XingChen and Song Lan just watched both go and both felt sorry for the Fox Yao…

.

.

.

.

.

While ZiQiang danced away from Suibian and said –

“What are you planning? I’m sure you are going to do something on the Archery Competition.”

“Sabotage it…” Wei Ying grinned just at the thought of Sabotaging the Archery Competition it’s like spitting in Wen RuoHan on the Face and Humiliate Wen Chao at the same time.

ZiQiang Blinked and asked –

“So Everything is ready then?”

Wei Ying grinned and said –

“Almost Ready, the Board is already laid down… all we need are the Chess Pieces and we’re good to go.”

“What about the Dafan Wens you took in?” ZiQiang asked as he parries the slash and countered it with his own attack.

“I’ll meet up with Wen Ning in the Archery Competition and talk to him, You know your work?” Wei Ying stated as he blocked the attack and backed away.

“Worry not Master… I won’t let anyone come near.” ZiQiang grinned as he pounced on his Master.

“Don’t you forget that.” Wei Ying grinned as he moves out of the way and grabbed his Servant by the Tail and pull…

ZiQiang screamed he doesn’t know whether it’s from pain or pleasure.

“Master Not The Tail!”

.

.

.

.

[FEW DAYS LATER]

[NIGHTLESS CITY, ARCHERY RANGE]

Wei Ying and ZeQiang found themselves standing among the Rogue Cultivators, both looked around at first since the Competition won’t start for an hour or so. Wei Ying roamed on the Archer Range and found Wen Ning, though it’s odd that Wen Ning looked Serious and Cold and not a Shy and Stuttering Guy, He looked back at ZeQiang who nodded and hide away.

Wei Ying approached the Archery Range and Called out –

“Wen Ning…”

[WEN NING’S VIEW]

It’s been a long time since he had wielded a Bow in his hand, The Competition won’t start for an hour so he have time… here he is now standing at the very place where he first met Young Master Wei… his hold on the Bow tightened at the Memory of his Young Master Dying and the Horrible Memory of A-Yuan dead, head severed and was presented to Young Master Wei.

His Blood is boiling with rage just at the thought of seeing the Lans and the Jins, he wanted to protest on entering the Competition but his Uncle RuoHan would grow suspicious, so he had no choice but to enter.

Ever since the ‘Great Revival’ everyone including his Uncle RuoHan and Wen Chao are out searching for Young Master Wei, but up until now no one could find the Young Master it’s like he vanished from the face of the Cultivation World, he heard that the Lan Clan are looking for Young Master Wei too, Lanling Jin as well he heard from the Gossips that Sect Leader Jin is desperate on looking for Wei Wuxian as well.

Sect Leader Jiang had Cut off ties with Lanling Jin and annulled his Daughter’s engagement despite Madam Yu’s Protest, but this time Sect Leader Jiang is serious and stern showing everyone that he is not to be messed with… Jiang WanYin might have something to do with Sect Leader Jiang’s change, He knew that Sect Leader Jiang loved Young Master Wei Dearly like Young Master is his own Child as well. And to hear what happened to the Young Master Wei almost send the Whole Yunmeng into a Massive Thunderstorm, one that his Uncle RuoHan is wary of to. Who knew Sect Leader Jiang is capable of calling down the Wrath of Heavens when he is angry enough to do so.

But right now, this Conference and Competition is held in hopes of Young Master Wei would appear. Everyone knows how much Young Master Wei love to show-off his Skills, but up until now there is still no sign of Young Master Wei.

He Missed Young Master Wei Dearly…

“Wen Ning…” A Voice called out from behind him.

He turned only to see Young Master Wei’s only Disciple, Xue Yang…

“A-Yang?” He called out.

[NORMAL VIEW]

Wei Ying shook his head and approached the shocked Wen Ning close then said –

“Wen Ning… it’s me…” and reached out the way only Wen Ning is familiar with (A/N: That time when Wei Ying took the Nails off of Wen Ning’s Skull.)

Wen Ning blinked in confusion when A-Yang reached out and touched his face softly and then his eyes widened in recognition, the touch is familiar… only his Young Master Wei would touch him with Gentleness. He looked down at the person before him and choked when the Spirit of Young Master Wei interposed on A-Yang’s figure…

No…

No Way…

A-Yang… A-Yang is –

“Young Master… Wei?” He whispered in hushed tone.

Wei Ying nodded in affirming Wen Ning’s suspicions…

“It’s me… A-Ning… I’m back…” He whispered fondly.

And Wen Ning began sobbing clinging to Wei Ying’s smaller frame, Wei Ying just held his crying friend…

.

.

.

.

A moment later Wen Ning stopped crying and looked at his Beloved Young Master…

“Young Master… How?” He asked before Wei Ying put a finger on his lips to silence him.

“We’ll talk about it once the Competition is over… You and Wen Qing are in Dafan right?” Wei Ying asked looking at his old friend.

Wen Ning nodded affirming his Young Master’s question…

“Yes…”

“A-Ning, I currently live in Yi City… I am preparing for the Retribution that is due for the Lans and the Jins to pay… you can move in Yi City with your family, you’ll be safer there.” Wei Ying said softly.

Wen Ning nodded eagerly, just at the thought of being able to Serve the Young Master that Showed him kindness makes him happy.

“I will tell A-Jie… don’t worry Young Master, We support you on your Mission…” Wen Ning said firmly.

.

.

[AT THAT SAME TIME]

Lan Xichen walked around the place in hopes of seeing Wei Ying again, but sadly he couldn’t find anything, he had been searching for awhile now… that is until he came across the very familiar person he was looking for aside from Young Master Wei…

Xue Yang… Xue Yang is here and he’s talking to Wen Ning happily.

He was about to approach the duo, when a beautiful Rogue Cultivator stood on his way…

“I won’t bother them if I were you…” The Foxy Rogue purred eyes narrowing as if challenging.

Lan Xichen knew he shouldn’t be disrespectful but he really wants to speak with Young Master Xue.

“I won’t be long, please let me speak with Young Master Xue, it’s important.” He said…

“Oh I’m Sorry, it’s a Strict Order that I should not let anyone near… can’t you see my Master and Young Master Wen are talking, it’s rude to disturb them, you know… and a Lan like you are educated not to be rude.” ZiQiang purred with a deadly smile.

Lan Xichen caved, he knew that persisting would only cause more trouble and the Rogue Cultivator right in front of him is not a normal Rogue Cultivator at all.

“By Any chance that Young Master Xue have time to talk with me?” Lan Xichen asked pleadingly.

“I’m sorry, My Young Master is a Busy man… we only came here for leisure, before going back to work. So if you please, do not disturb them.” ZiQiang said firmly with a hint of warning.

Lan Xichen flinched at the spiritual energy that this Rogue is letting out, he took it as a warning and left in a hurry…

Once Lan Xichen is gone, Wei Ying and Wen Ning approached ZiQiang…

“What does he want?” Wei Ying asked.

“He wished to speak with you to ask where You –as Wei Ying- are.” ZiQiang answered with a grin.

Wen Ning looked at this new person before him in confusion.

“A-Ning, this is my Servant Ma ZiQiang, he is more than what he is.” Wei Ying stated pointing at his Fox Yao Servant.

ZiQian gave Wen Ning a Seductive Smile. (A/N: No… No! Stay Away From That Roll! Bad! Bad ZiQiang!)

Wen Ning blushed hard when Young Master Wei’s Servant smiled at him, he shook his head –

‘No! No! You should fall for tricks!’ He cried in his thoughts.

“This Servant greets Young Master Wen…” ZiQiang purred with a smile.

Wen Ning wanted to faint, but thank gods Young Master Wei is there. Wei Ying whacked his wily Servant on the rear causing the said Servant to Yelp.

“Knock it off! We’re heading to the Ceremony… the Competition is about to begin.” Wei Ying hissed.

.

.

.

.

The Trio headed to the Main Ground where everyone is gathered, ZiQiang perked up seeing a very familiar person he wanted to see, and pouted when he saw there are girls mobbing the Blacksmith, his Master Wei Ying just facepalmed, while Wen Ning just smiled awkwardly, but then he grinned -

“Shun Shun!” He chirped happily and glomped the unsuspecting Blacksmith.

XiaoShun almost had a heart attack when someone tackled him from behind..

“Shun Shun~♪” His Lover’s Familiar voice chirped right behind him.

He turned to look at his Lover who looked up at him (A/N: Yes ZiQiang is Short…) He’s surprised that Zi’er is present in the Competition.

“Zi’er, what are you doing here?” He asked whilst ignoring the whining women.

“Hehee~! I’m participating with My Master for Leisure, we’re kinda busy lately, but no worries, I still have time to Visit you~!” ZiQiang cooed happily. “What about you? What are you doing here.”

“Well, I got an invitation to Participate too…” XiaoShun answered with a smirk.

“Ooohh~! Let’s make a bet then…” ZiQiang purred.

“Oh?” XiaoShun smirked raising a brow.

“How about if I have more kills You do what I want.” ZiQiang answered running his elegant fingers on his Lover’s broad chest.

“And if I win?” XiaoShun asked as he just stood there.

ZiQiang tip toed and whispered on XiaoShun’s ear Seductively –

“I will do What you want for a Day it’s up to you When.”

Feeling bold XiaoShun reached out and held his Lover’s chin tilting the Minx’s head up –

“Alright then, You’re on…” He said huskily which made some women swoon.

ZiQiang giggled and pulled away –

“I won’t lose to you, dear, so you better do your best.” And he sashayed away Seductively.

XiaoShun could only feel his face burn when he heard his Sect Leader Chuckle at him, he turned to look at everyone in Yunmeng Group are looking at him with knowing grins on their faces.

“What?” He asked nervously.

“So that’s the Lover that everyone in the Town is talking about, I say… that Lover of yours is beautiful.” Sect Leader Jiang teased.

XiaoShun could only hide his face in embarrassment.

[BACK AT WEIYING]

(Warning: Inappropriate Pick-up lines ahead by some Jin Bastards.)

Wei Ying could only sigh in grief as he watched his Servant glow in excitement. He doesn’t know how could his Servant do such Lascivious Things without getting embarrassed. Honestly…

“Maybe Master should try and be like me then?” ZiQiang hummed and whispered on his Master’s ear. “You are shameless before, so why not now? Try to be Seductive.”

Of Course… Seductive it is… as if he could be that shameless. He was about to say something when a Disciple from Lanling Jin approached –

“Hey there hot stuff, the name’s Jin ZiXun, I’m not into watching sunsets, but I’d love to see you go down.”

Everyone in the vicinity stopped what they’re doing and looked at them, even Wen Chao is Quiet, Wei Ying and ZiQiang looked at each other, then back to Jin ZiXun, then Back to each other –

“Let me handle this…” Wei Ying said confidently then he looked at Jin ZiXun. “The Name is Xue Yang and I’m Sorry, I don’t think I’ll be going down without a fight.”

(A/N: *Cough Blood* )

“Oh? But even so, I love my bed, but I’d rather be in yours.” Jin ZiXun shot back.

“Sorry, My Bed is not comfortable for two people.” Wei Ying shot back.

ZiQiang had this thoughtful look on his face… though Jin ZiXun had this frown on his face, clearly this Rogue is rejecting him… Him! How Dare this Rogue Reject him…

“You are so selfish. You’re going to have that body for the rest of your life and I just want it for one night.”

Wei Ying grinned and said –

“Sorry, I don’t do One Night Stand…” And he turns away.

Jin ZiXun was about to grab Wei Ying by the shoulder, butZiQiang grabbed Jin ZiXun’s Wrist and said –

“I like to see you go, but I love to watch you leave the most.”

Jin ZiXun checked this new Person out with interest –

“Your body is 70 percent water… and I’m thirsty.”

.

.

.

.

The Jiang Disciple were sweating bullets… Why? There’s a Jealous Blacksmith nearby cracking his knuckles…

“Your Nephew is flirting with someone he shouldn’t.” Jiang FengMian said to Jin Guangshan.

Jin Guangshan just smiled and said –

“Let him be… he’s just having fun.”

.

.

.

.

“You look great right now. Do you know what else would look great on you? Me!” Jin ZiXun said with a smug smile.

Wei Ying retched mentally, is this idiot really hitting on someone as ZiQiang? He could see the Blacksmith is about to explode from jealousy.

“Excuse me?” ZiQiang said raising an eyebrow.

“What did you say your name was? I want to make sure I’m screaming the right name tonight.” Jin ZiXun grinned as if he was winning.

“I’m sorry but…” ZiQiang whined looking down at Jin ZiXun’s crotch area and added. “I don’t think that little Thing would be satisfying.”

Wei Ying couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing –

“Pffftt! Hahahahahah!”

Humiliated Jin ZiXun lashes out –

“You! You dare insult me!?” He yelled and raised a hand.

But before that hand could land a hit, a broader and stronger hand stopped Jin ZiXun from hurting ZiQiang.

“Who Dares!” Jin ZiXun growled and turned to look who dared to stop him.

But as he turned he had to look up and came face to face with Yunmeng Jiang’s Blacksmith.

“Bullying someone again?” XiaoShun growled. “And I don’t like the way you talk to my Future Wife, Young Master Jin.”

There were gasps could be heard…

“No Way!”

“Oh My God! It Is True!”

“Lucky Bastard!”

“Noooo~!  My Dream Man is Taken by another man!!”

.

.

.

.

.

[AN HOUR LATER]

Everyone found themselves in the Mountains hunting for Ghost Puppets, Wei Ying and ZiQiang are dominating the Game, and for once Wen Chao is bothering the Lans and not the Jiangs. Both knew the Sect Leaders are watching them hunt, so he and ZiQiang separates from each other and look for their own prey.

Wei Ying soared from one stone shaft to another, as he notched arrows on his bows. He perfectly aimed for more than one puppet and let the arrows fly. Luckily he picked some more arrows on his way, he was enjoying the hunt so much he didn’t realized a certain Lan following him. he planned on meeting ZiQiang halfway of the competition.

He grabbed one arrow and pivoting as Arrows of Spiritual Energy surrounded him, he flicked his wrist and the Spiritual Energy Arrow hit their target earning him more points in the game.

“Wei Ying?” A very familiar voice called out.

He turned to look at who called him and right then and there, his blood boiled in anger… The Person right in front of him is none other than Lan Wangji…

‘MURDERER!’ The Dark and Angry Voice Echoed in his head.

‘Run!’ The Familiar Voice of A-Yang cried out.

~~**~~

Wei Ying turned away and continued walking away, he’s not in the mood to talk to a Lan… he picked up the Last Arrow and walks away…

“Wei Ying!” Lan Wangji calls out and grabbed Wei Ying on the shoulder.

As he did so he received a resounding slap on the cheek… Jiang Cheng and the others arrived in time to see a Rogue Cultivator slap the Second Young Master of Lan, there were hush whispers –

“This guy is so bold.”

“Who is he? I don’t recognize him at all…”

“I don’t know, Rogue Cultivators tends to be elusive when they want to.”

“But to Slap the Second Young Master of Lan? What a Bold Move.”

“Is he not afraid of being targeted later on?”

Wei Ying ignored everyone else in the vicinity and growled out –

“I don’t know what your deal is, but I’m not the person you are looking for… if you got problem with me slapping you in the face, you deserved it for interrupting my hunt.”

And he storms away, his blood is boiling and that Dark and Angry Voice in his head is screaming at him to Kill Lan Wangji right then and there. His head is hurting and he needs to finish this Competition fast and get away from the Murderer.

‘The Bastard timed it when ZiQiang and I separates… that sneaky bastard.’ Wei Ying growled to himself.

He jumped from Stone Shaft to Stone Shaft at a speed while shooting any puppets he encounters. He ignored other competitors’ complaint as he took all the Puppets for himself. This is a Competition, and this is where everyone had to show their skills, and for once, he will dominate this competition one way or another, he had to go with the plan. He could feel the Stygian Tiger Seal vibrate slightly on his inner robe chest pocket, Chenqing is in one of his hidden Pocket just in case.

[BACK AT THE SECT LEADERS]

The Sect Leaders watched as the Hunt goes, no one knows how Wen RuoHan had done it, but it’s really convenient, so they could watch their Disciples show their Skills… so far they are doing good…

But not Good Enough as Two Rogue (Wei Ying and ZiQiang) are showing more Superior Skills than the 5 Great Clans’ Disciple… The Rogue Cultivator Xue Yang is Dominating the Competition, followed by Yunmeng’s Blacksmith Li XiaoShun and Next is that Unknown Rogue Cultivator, Zi’er is what he is called according to Sect Leader Jiang, then the Fourth placer is Lan XiChen and fifth was the Heir of Lanling Jin and Yunmeng Jiang shared the same place.

it was unheard of that the Young Masters of Prestigious Clan are losing to the Rogues Cultivators, but it seems that these Two Rogues are not any mere Ordinary Rogue Cultivators… they have Experience and Skills with the Bow.

Wen RuoHan was amused when he saw that Feisty Rogue Cultivator slapped the Second Jade of Lan, he hadn’t met someone who is very much against the Second Jade. People would jump at the chance to mingle with the Second Jade of Lan… but what surprised him is that the Second Jade of Lan called the Rogue Cultivator “Wei Ying” only to be admonished harshly by the Rogue Cultivator. He took a Glance at Lan QiRen, the man looked ready to explode in anger, it’s really amusing to watch everyone losing their tempers.

Wen RuoHan watched in Fascination as the Rogue Cultivator Xue Yang used that same Skill, the one that used Spiritual Energy Arrows and shot in different Direction, perfectly hitting the Puppets earning more points than the others. Such Skills like the Spiritual Energy Arrows, they are not used by any Cultivators these days due to the high risk of depleting the Spiritual Energy. The thing is, not all Spiritual Arrows needed that much Spiritual Energy. As long as one is aware of how much Spiritual Energy is needed on the Spiritual Arrow, they would not need to worry.

But this Rogue could use Spiritual Arrows like it was nothing…

Then he was brought out of his reverie when the Lan Faction were screaming their outrage.

“That damned Rogue!”

“How dare he shot arrows at Second Young Master Lan!”

Wen RuoHan raised a brow at that and looked at the Screen –

[THAT TIME]

Wei Ying was hunting Puppets somewhere in the Western Part of the Area, and his anger is slowly rising as Lan Wangji continuously following him like crazy… he’s starting to consider killing the Bastard Lan here.

“Wei Ying!” Lan Wangji called out.

And he finally snapped as he knocked an Arrow, quickly turning around in mid-flight and shoot in a fast rate that the Second Jade couldn’t dodge fast enough, the Arrow lodged at Lan Wangji’s right shoulder. Lan Wangji fell to the ground harshly, as Wei Ying stood at the top of the Smaller Stone Shaft.

“I’ve had enough of you calling me Wei Ying… My Name is Xue Yang, was it really hard to remember my name? I don’t what your problem is, stop deluding me as the person you are obsessing with, because I am not the same as that person.” Wei Ying growled as he held his bow tightly.

Lan Xichen and the others arrived, Though he’s still angry at his younger brother the First Jade of Lan kneeled right beside his brother to check the arrow wound.

“Young Master Xue, aren’t you being a little too aggressive?” Lan Xichen called out.

“I didn’t killed him didn’t I, an arrow to the shoulder is already a mercy… and besides, your brother kept on bothering me and kept calling me Wei Ying and it’s starting to annoy me… it’s his fault.” Wei Ying hissed angrily.

Lan Wangji had the audacity to look very sad, Wei Ying scoffed at the pitiful sight… it felt good to torment this Bastard… so –

“And besides… wasn’t the Second Jade of Lan who murdered Wei Wuxian on their Wedding Night?” Wei Ying said loud enough for everyone to hear.

There were murmurs of disbelief within the crowds –

“The Second Jade of Lan Did What?”

“No Way!”

“So the Rumours are true!”

“On their wedding Night? That’s despicable, even for someone as terrible as the Yiling Patriarch being Murdered on their Wedding Night? That’s uncalled for!”

Wei Ying cackled internally and added fuel to the growing fire –

“And I heard, the Second Jade of Lan Confessed his Undying Love to Mo Xuanyu one of the Bastard Children of Jin Guangshan… before he killed Wei Wuxian?”

And there were outrage on the Crowds, Wei Ying internally smirked as he continued tarnishing Lan Wangji’s name.

“H-How did you know that?” Lan Xichen asked curiously.

Wei Ying grinned –

“When people are Drunk they tend to say something they shouldn’t…”

Then Wei Ying looked down on the Silent Lan Wangji and said –

“I don’t know why Young Master Wei liked you in the First Place, You are nothing Special. But who would have thought that the immaculate Second Jade of Lan is a Dirty and Rotten on the inside… You People from Lan Clan look like Dignified and Venerable… Untouchable… You people are Hideous… I heard that Wei Wuxian is the Feared Yiling Patriarch… You People treated him like a Demon when you yourselves are no different… When you managed to get a hold of him, you made him Obey all the Ridiculous Rules… Then those Lan Elders of yours… Not only they insulted him, belittled him… they dehumanized him… Tell me… is it fun to break your own Sect Rule? Second Jade of Lan?”

Lan Wangji could only look away, Wei Ying scoffed at that and continued –

“Rule #1 Do not kill within Cloud Recesses… Yet You Killed Young Master Wei On Your Wedding Night…

Rule #37 Love all beings… Yet You Never Loved Young Master Wei At All…

Rule #39 Steer away from bad men… Yet You and Your Precious Elders Colluded With the Jins and Killed Young Master Wei…

Rule #44 Shoulder the weight of morality… Yet You and Your Elders Did Not Show Morality At All…

Rule #52 Be trustworthy, and they will believe you… Yet you Lan Wangji betrayed Young Master Wei’s Trust…

Rule #54 Take the straight path… Yet You and Your Elders took the Most Crooked Path…

Rule #75 Do not break promises… Yet You Did…

Rule #83 One Must Always Be Aware Of What Is The Truth And The Lies… Yet You Turned Blind Eyes to it all…

Rule #87 Always Have Honour Even To Your Greatest Enemy… Yet You have None… You did not show any Honour to Young Master Wei…

Rule #89 Do Not Commit Adultery… You Did… With Mo Xuanyu…

Rule #96 All Children Must Have A Normal Childhood Before Education… Yet You Killed and Beheaded that Wen Child that Young Master Wei Loved The Most.

Rule #110 Always Defend The Weak… Yet you didn’t… You allowed your Clansmen Slaughter the Innocent Wens.

Rule #117 Save Those Who Can Still Be Saved… Yet You Allowed them to be killed…

Rule #128 Do Not Breach The Sacredness of Hospitality… Yet You Lans and Jins just did… Lanling Jin Breached the Sacredness of Hospitality by ambushing Young Master Wei in Qiongqi Path after the War… and You Lans Lied to Him, making him believed that Cloud Recesses is a Safe place for Young Master Wei to Hide in… You Lan Wangji Married Him yet on the Wedding Night, You and Lanling Jin Colluded with each other and Killed him… after presenting the Head of the Dead Wen Child…

Face it Lan Wangji… after that Stunt do you really think Young Master Wei would come back? After all the Sacrifices he made to turn the tides of War in your Favour and all you Lans and Jins rewarded him is Betrayal… Just because he’s the Yiling Patriarch doesn’t meant he’s not Human… it was you and those Greedy Lanling Jins made him the Monster after Wen RuoHan… Now that the Time Reversed Back way Before The War, and with Wen RuoHan and the Great Qishan Wen Sect are alive, you dared to look for Young Master Wei and seek his help once more?

Maybe it’s for the Best that Young Master Wei leaves the Cultivation World and leave you and the other Sects to the Wolves and die by the hands of the Wens that You Hated the Most.”

Wei Ying finished his rants and stood up…

“Face it Lan Wangji… You, The Lan Elders and Lanling Jin brought this to yourselves… There will be no Wei Wuxian that will save you all from the Wens… It’s all your fault…” He said coldly and jumps away leaving the Shock Disciples alone.

He soared from one stone shaft to the other… he reached for the Stygian Tiger Seal on his Chest Pocket and pocked it with his finger, with a small amount of Demonic Energy he activated the Seal slightly, his eyes glowed with Malicious Red and opened his mouth –

“Wake Up…”

And he didn’t voice out his Command to attack Nightless City where everyone would be gathering.

.

.

.

.

.

[AFTER THE COMPETITION]

After the Competition everyone is gathered back on Nightless City, the Result og the Hunt is out… Wei Ying came out First, Li XiaoShun came Second, ZiQiang came third, then the Fourth placer is Lan XiChen and fifth was the Heir of Lanling Jin and Yunmeng Jiang shared the same place.

When Wei Ying and his Servant reunited, both could hear Lanling Jin and the Lan Clan voice out their denials of what they have done, but it looks like Wen RuoHan is not listening at all. And judging by the Man’s unhappy face… Wen RuoHan had his eyes on Gusu Lan and Lanling Jin…

‘Good… at least Yunmeng Jiang is safe… for now…’ Wei Ying thought to himself.

He glanced at his Servant and saw him, eagerly talking to the Blacksmith who look smug, Wei Ying rolled his eyes and checked Jiangzai… then he felt the Shift of air, he looked up –

“Zi!” He called out as he held Jiangzai tightly.

Ziqiang was on his side quickly with his Twin Sword unsheathed… XiaoShun was confused at first… then a loud frightened scream echoed which alerted everyone, not long after that a huge wave of Fierce Corpses came running in, attacking everyone on sight.

Everyone was on high alert and they’re fighting the Fierce Corpses that comes in their Way, even the Sect Leaders are fighting…

“Fuck! Is the Yiling patriarch here!?”

“That Damned Wei Wuxian!”

“Stop Talking keep fighting!”

“Damn it! Is The Yiling Patriarch back for revenge!?”

“Where is he!?”

Everyone’s fighting for their lives… except Wen RuoHan who was just sitting on his throne and watching everyone panicking and fighting… though his eyes landed on a Certain Rogue Cultivator.

[WEN RUOHAN’S VIEW]

He watched everyone floundering at the horde of Fierce Corpses, is Wei Wuxian here? Was he the one who sent this Horde of Fierce Corpses to Sabotage the Competition? There are no other Cultivators who could Command a huge Horde of Fierce Corpses but Wei Wuxian himself… he was about to stand up and end this pandemonium when –

“Zi!” The Familiar voice of the Rogue Cultivator calls out loudly.

Then he saw a Blur of Deep Red stood back to back with the Rogue Cultivator, He watched the two talk, and this Zi Person nodded, and with great fascination he watched the duo raised their hand up and a sphere of Red and Blue Spiritual Energy gathered at the palm of their hand, then they slammed their hands on the Ground and a massive explosion of Red and Blue Spiritual Energy blasted the Fierce Corpses away…

What a sight to behold…

Is this Rogue Cultivator the Next Wei Wuxian?

Their Talent is almost on par with each other.

if so… He had to watch this little Rogue Closely.

[END OF VIEW]

The Fight is Over, luckily there are no casualties and everyone is dead tired. Wei Ying was sitting on the Ground, while ZiQiang was leaning on XiaoShun who look a bit winded himself. Everyone aside from Qinghe, and Yunmeng Cursing the Yiling Patriarch for causing Chaos here in the Discussion Conference…

‘Maybe I overdid it… Agh! So tired!’ Wei Ying complained to himself.

He watched everyone tried to catch their breath, as he stood up…

“Zi! It’s Sunset we should go, Play time is over we have work to do…” Wei Ying called out.

He groaned when ZiQiang gave him a kicked puppy look, but then turned back to the Blacksmith and said something which the Blacksmith laughed off, ZiQiang happily trotted towards him… once they reached an open area they hopped on their Swords and soared in the air, as they fly they noticed several Wen Sect followed them.

“Should we go higher?” ZiQiang asked flying right beside him.

“Yeah.” Was all his answer and both him and his Servant soared higher.

Once they’re high enough, they flew faster within the Clouds to lose the Idiots following them.

.

.

.

.

.

[HOURS OF FLIGHT LATER]

They arrived at Yi City, they immediately returned home and rest for the whole Night after Dinner… Xiao XingChen and Song Lan are out for Night Hunt again, so He and ZiQiang had the House to themselves, ZiQiang cooked food –

“What’s your Next Plan Now? Not Only You clearly Tarnished that Second Young Master Lan’s Name but you Tarnished both Gusu Lan’s and Lanling Jin’s reputation.” ZiQiang asked curiously.

Wei Ying grinned Maliciously, just at the thought of the Lan Clan and Lanling Jin struggle to gain back their Dignity, he’s very Sure that the Rumours would go around.

“The Next Plan? Become the City Lord of Yi City.” Wei Ying answered looking at the Cup of Emperor Smile.

“You know you have to return to the Burial Mound Once we set things up… Right?” ZiQiang shots back as he fills the Bowl with Soup…

Wei Ying Cackled and said –

“I know… And Besides, an Old Friend is Coming Soon… I can leave Yi City in his Care.”

“What are you planning really?” ZiQiang asked as he placed the Bowl of Lotus Pork Rib Soup in front of his Master. “I doubt you’re Planning to Re-Create the Empire Of Wei, just like your Second Ancestor Did.”

Wei Ying just gave his Servant a knowing smile.

“You’re really going to Re-Create The Yiling Wei Empire with Yi City…” ZiQiang groaned because he knew how much Work he will have to do. “How are you going to do that then?”

“If you know how to Capture the Old Folks’ Heart… it’s through something they held dear throughout their Years of living… I know there are Cultivators in my Second Ancestor’s Time are still Alive up to this day… though they are pretty much Old.”

“Cunning… but that’s going to have a lot of Work for You, Being a City Lord is a Mercy… But an Emperor? You’re going to have a Lot of Trouble in your Plate, Master…” ZiQiang hummed just thinking about the Last Emperor of Chang’An… “You better not Slack around once you’re an Emperor, Young Master Wei.”

Wei Ying just hummed in return.

.

.

.

.

[SOMETIME LATER]

Wei Ying and ZiQiang are asleep with ZiQiang’s Nine Tails as a Warm Blanket… Wei Ying had long ago gave up arguing with ZiQiang to get his own room, but the Damned Fox refused to sleep on his own room…

The Night is still Cold in Yi City despite it being not Haunted nor Foggy anymore…

[WEI YING’S MINDSCAPE]

[WEI YING’S VIEW]

[A/N: Sorry I Couldn't Draw the Meeting of the this Three.]

He’s back here again… in the Burial Mound Mindscape, every time he sleeps he always enters this Mindscape. He’s already used to it, when his Spirit enters this Place his Physical Body is in deep sleep… he talked to ZiQiang about it –

“It’s Called Jīngshén fēngjǐng… a Spiritual Landscape, it’s almost like a Dream… A Lucid Dreaming of a Place… a Place you remembered the Most…” It’s what ZiQiang said thoughtfully. “You said, you kept meeting A-Yang there… there might be some unfinished business must be going on...”

He argued that A-Yang did a Body Offering Ritual, so A-Yang’s Soul isn’t supposed to be here.

“Then by some Miracle that his Soul must’ve survived the Ritual and probably residing within the deepest part of your Jīngshén fēngjǐng … so there is Hope for the Boy to be Reborn… if he’s Born Directly to you that is, but it’s up to you how you do it.” ZiQiang answered. “His Soul might not be strong enough… it takes time.”

He trust’s ZiQiang’s Words, A-Yang still had the Chance to Reborn.

“But Be Aware, Master… that… If You Die, He dies too and there will be no Second Chance for him, he will be forever wandering in the Halls of the Hell King Yama.” ZiQiang Warned gravely.

He will remember that Warning… if he dies… A-Yang will die too…

“Never Forget…” The Dark Voice echoed.

He turned to look behind him and there stood his Yiling Loazu Form, He felt Chills down his spine when those Angry, Blood Red Eyes Looked at him as the Resentful Energy Shrouds his Yiling Laozu Form.

“Never Forget What They Did…” The Yiling Laozu said voice distorted. “Avenge A-Yuan… Avenge Us!”

=“Be Wary Shizun…The Whole Cultivation World is out to get You…”= A-Yang Warned as he appeared right beside the Yiling Laozu… =“The Lans will Surely try to find you and imprison you again to prevent you from Soiling their Reputation.”=

“LAN CLAN AND LANLING JIN MUST FALL!!” The Yiling Lauzu roared.

“I Won’t Forget…” He answered.

The Resentful Energy calms down, the Yiling Laozu vanished on thin air…

“Both Clans will fall…” He added.

=“And We Will Be Here To Support You… Shizun…”= A-Yang said and vanished too.

He could only smile and closed his eyes, feeling his Physical Body waking up.

[END DREAM]

[END VIEW]

Wei Ying woke up from his sleep and found that ZiQiang is not by his side anymore… it was strange… that Fox often wakes up late, he wondered… he got up and start looking for the Fox. Once he walks in to the Main Hall he saw Wen Ning and the Rest of the Dafan Wens standing there.

“Oh, Master… You’re Awake, I was about to wake you up…” ZiQiang chirped and stood beside Wei Ying. “They arrived about an Hour ago, and it’s rude to let the Guests stay outside so I brought them In… Master XingChen and Master Song are out again, for God knows where.”

“You should have woke me up earlier.” Wei Ying grumbled.

ZiQiang raised an Eyebrow and said –

“You’re dead tired on your feet after the Competition and need a goodnight sleep as the City Lord.”

Wei Ying froze on where he’s standing and asked –

“What did you just say?”

“You’re dead tired on Your feet After the Competition?” ZiQiang answered.

“No, After that…” Wei Ying said…

“And Need A Goodnight Sleep?” ZiQiang answered tilting his head to the side.

Wei Ying sighed and said again –

“After that…”

“Ah! As the City Lord…” ZiQiang chirped.

“When did I became the City Lord? We Were talking about that Last Night.” Wei Ying said looking straight at his Servant…

“Hmm… I Went around the Town this Morning and asked if the People of Yi City would be okay if You became the City’s Lord… and They Agreed quite easily.” ZiQiang answered thoughtfully.

“….” Wei Ying is very Speechless at his Servant’s Shamelessness… ZiQiang’s Shamelessness can put his Wei Wuxian’s Shamelessness to Shame…

Then Wen Qing Butts in –

“Wei Ying…”

The said man turned to her in shock and confusion…

“I know… Wen Ning Knows… We all know…” Wen Qing answered tearfully…

And Wei Ying felt relieved as he cried on Wen Qing’s shoulder, ZiQiang Left them to prepare a Big Breakfast… the Young Women of the Dafan Wens including Granny Wen offered their assistance and followed the Fox.

While the Rest of the Dafan Wens had a talk with Wei Ying, they let their disappointment on the Lan Clan known and that they will Support Wei Ying.

“But, Wei Ying… How did you end up in A-Yang’s body? How is it Possible?” Wen Qing asked.

“A-Yang took after me and did the Impossible, he did a Body Offering Ritual while Reversing the Flow of time to bring back everyone to Life while I return into his Body.” Wei Ying answered truthfully.

“Then what happened to his Soul?” Wen Qing asked.

“It’s a Miracle that it Survived and is Currently Resting within my Jīngshén fēngjǐng according to ZiQiang… He could still be Reborn.” Wei Ying answered.

And he told everyone what he knows…

“Sect Leader Wen is searching for you non-stop… you must be very careful, we don’t know what he’s planning.” Wen Qing Warned.

“I know… I know…” Wei Ying said sighing…

“What are your plans right now?” Wen Qing asked.

Wei Ying thought about it and couldn’t come up with anything…

“For Now, I have to Rest and see what I can do for the City… there are many things needs to be improved here in this City…” He answered.

“We’ll Help!” Uncle Four called out.

And the rest of the Dafan Wens voiced their Agreement… after all… this is their Young Master Wei.

“Thank You… Everyone…” Wei Ying smiled softly.

He had the Dafan Wens within his Walls now… he could protect them from the Lans and Jins. If they would dare try to attack him…

He had ChenQing, Suibian, Jiangzai, and The Stygian Tiger Seal in his arms.

He had nothing to Fear when he have all the Weapons he needed.

Now that He’s the City Lord of Yi City, He couldn’t be By Jiang Cheng’s side…

And if Wen RuoHan dares attack Yunmeng, He could send a Huge Number of Fierce Corpses to deal with him… He will Protect Yunmeng from afar.

~~**~~

So insignificant, sleeping dormant deep inside of me
Are you hiding away, lost, under the sewers?
Maybe flying high, in the clouds?
Perhaps you're happy without me
So many seeds have been sown in the field
And who could have sprout up so blessedly
If I had died, I would have never felt sad at all
You will not hear me say 'I'm sorry'
Where is the light, wonder if it's weeping somewhere?

[CLOUD RECESSES]

[JINGSHI]

[LAN WANGJI’S VIEW]

It’s been a few days since the Competition is over, but still he couldn’t forget what Xue Yang said to him…

When he first saw Xue Yang, he could have sworn that Xue Yang had the same Energy as Wei Ying, so he believed that Wei Ying came back on Xue Yang’s Body. He knew Wei Ying would return as he always do, Death couldn’t hold Wei Ying back… so who’s stopping him from returning on someone else’s body?

But…

“I’ve had enough of you calling me Wei Ying… My Name is Xue Yang, was it really hard to remember my name? I don’t know what your problem is, stop deluding me as the person you are obsessing with, because I am not the same as that person.” Those were Xue Yang’s words.

He knows who Xue Yang is but never seen him what he looks like… now that he knows… this Xue Yang is Wei Ying’s Disciple… He will find this Xue Yang and ask him where’s Wei Ying…

He have to get to Wei Ying before anyone Else…

He must have Wei Ying back…

But then…

Ɱᴑ Χυᶏͷϒυ…

A-Yu…

A-Yu died a Miserable death because of Wei Ying’s Curse, A-Yu suffered… Died without knowing the meaning of Happiness…

“And besides… wasn’t the Second Jade of Lan who murdered Wei Wuxian on their Wedding Night?” Xue Yang’s voice said mockingly.

His heart froze… he only realized the Mistake he made… he did Love Wei Ying, but He loved A-Yu too…

“Rule #1 Do not kill within Cloud Recesses… Yet You Killed Young Master Wei On Your Wedding Night…”

“Face it Lan Wangji… after that Stunt do you really think Young Master Wei would come back?

“Face it Lan Wangji… You, The Lan Elders and Lanling Jin brought this to yourselves… There will be no Wei Wuxian that will save you all from the Wens… It’s all your fault…”

NO! He will not let Wei Ying Go just like that… He may have committed a Grave Mistake by Killing Wei Ying, this time… this time he won’t commit the Same Mistake… if he ever finds out where Wei Ying is… He Will take him back to Gusu… and Lock Him away…

And Then…

And Then…

A-Yu won’t suffer…

A-Yu won’t suffer because Wei Ying won’t die, and the Curse won’t react… He just have to find Wei Ying, End this War, Lock Wei Ying Up… and then… and then –

+“And Then What?”+ An Unknown Voice asked…

He turned around the direction of the Voice and saw nothing… Bichen and his GuQin are the only ones there…

He had a Feeling he wasn’t alone.

[END VIEW]

[QISHAN WEN]

Wen RuoHan looked down at his Servants with sharp, cold gaze…

“You Still haven’t found him?” He asked sternly not happy that the person he asked to be searched couldn’t be found.

This is what he hated about Rogue Cultivators, they never stay in one place for a Day or two. They’re always on the move. But that Rogue Cultivator Xue Yang, He showed so much potential that could possibly rival Wei Wuxian’s, it’s quite rare to see any powerful Rogue Cultivator nowadays.

He stood up from his throne and walked down the Halls of his Palace, ignoring the fleeing Servants. He’s in a Normal Mood Today, so he’ll spare them… He’ll be patient… Good Things always comes to those who wait, but for now… he stood up by the pond watching his Reflection. The Wisterias are in bloom… The Wisterias are Wei YinYu’s Favourite Flowering Tree aside from the Ginko Tree.

But then he remembered the Words that Xue Yang said during the Competition…

“Rule #96 All Children Must Have A Normal Childhood Before Education… Yet You Killed and Beheaded that Wen Child that Young Master Wei Loved The Most.”  Is what Xue Yang said to Lan Wangji…

“Rule #110 Always Defend The Weak… Yet you didn’t… You allowed your Clansmen Slaughter the Innocent Wens.” Xue Yang Added.

He felt his Blood Boiled in Hatred… What happened to the Remaining Wens? The Civilians? People may think of him as a Monster… but he do Value his people and Civilians in his Sect…

“Rule #128 Do Not Breach The Sacredness of Hospitality… Yet You Lans and Jins just did… Lanling Jin Breached the Sacredness of Hospitality by ambushing Young Master Wei in Qiongqi Path after the War… and You Lans Lied to Him, making him believed that Cloud Recesses is a Safe place for Young Master Wei to Hide in… You Lan Wangji Married Him yet on the Wedding Night, You and Lanling Jin Colluded with each other and Killed him… after presenting the Head of the Dead Wen Child…”

A Wen Child? Lanling Jin and Gusu Lan killed a Wen Child?

A Child!?

His Kin…

They Killed His Kinsmen and a Child…

Wei Wuxian defended his Kinsmen but in doing so, the Boy earned the ire of the Cultivation World… he raised up his hand and in no time, his Shadows appeared behind him kneeling.

“Capture me some Lans and Lanling Jin Senior Disciples… bring them to me Alive…” He growled darkly.

And his Shadows disappeared to do what their Master’s Bidding… not long after that, Wen Xu appeared…

“You seem to be in a bad mood father? Is it because of the Competition?” Wen Xu stated standing a respectful distance.

“A-Xu, What do you think of Lanling Jin and Gusu Lan Clan?” He asked without looking back.

“According to the Gossips I heard, a Certain Rogue Exposed their Misdeeds and the Murder of one Wei Wuxian, Some of Our Civilians and a Wen Child… I think, both Clan are becoming more and more arrogant lately… What is Father Planning?” Wen Xu stated calmly.

He chuckled Darkly… He was thinking of Attacking Yunmeng Jiang and Gusu Lan… but since that Rogue Exposed something about Lanling Jin’s Misdeeds… his instead of Yunmeng Jiang and Gusu Lan… He’ll Aim for Gusu Lan and Lanling Jin instead…

And besides… Yunmeng is Wei Wuxian’s Home… if he targets Yunmeng… Surely the Yiling Patriarch Will Come filled with anger and hatred, He had sent some of his Spies to gather as much information they know about what happened before the Great Revival.

If Lanling Jin and Gusu Lan had done Wei Wuxian wrong, what way to attract the Yiling Patriarch other than Tormenting the Clans that had tormented the Young Man for so Long?

Then one of his Spies returned and kneeled behind him reporting –

“According to the people who witnesses before the Revival, Wei Wuxian has become the Villain and was hated by all… Some says that the Second Jade of Lan had pursued Young Master Wei and Married him, Some rumours said that the Marriage was a Farce, it was a trap to capture Young Master Wei… they used Young Master Wei’s Affection to the Second Jade to Lure Him out and Lower his Guard, and with a Promise of Protection of those Young Master Wei Protected.

But Alas, All was but a Fake Promises. The Lans and Jins Colluded with each other and slay Young Master Wei on the Wedding Night, it turns out that the Second Jade is in love with one of Sect Leader Jin’s Bastard Sons, Mo Xuanyu, the Second Jade of Lan was never in love with Young Master Wei in the First Place and that he was in love with Mo Xuanyu and that their Wedding is just a trap to lure him out… However, before Young Master Passes Away, he cast a Curse that will doom all the Lans for their Transgression if Young Master Wei Dies. Fearing of the Curse casted upon them by the Yiling Patriarch they tried to stop him from dying, but As the Lans and Jins were about to close in, another person appeared and took Young Master Wei Away.”

He turned to look at his Spy and asked –

“Who is this Person?”

The Spy lowered his head and answered –

“According to the Witnesses… it was Young Master Xue Yang…”

He’s silent for a moment, as he was trying to piece everything together… the Sudden Revival, Wei Wuxian’s Disappearance, The Revelation… Xue Yang’s Hatred of the Second Jade of Lan… He could only smile… now he had a Suspicion that the Sudden Revival had something to do with the Rogue…

“I See… You may leave…” He said sending his Spy away.

He turned back to the Pond and smirked to himself… He knew Wen Xu left to give him privacy, he chuckled darkly, he knew how the Sects had feared his return and that they are desperately looking for Wei Wuxian… too bad for them… Wei Wuxian won’t be saving them this time.

He had to applaud both Lanling Jin and Gusu Lan on their Stupidity…

Of All People they have to offend…

They Offended the Person who could save them…

[LANLING JIN]

Jin GuangShan was pacing back and forth, he’s trying to look for a way to get out of the mess that Xue Yang had put him through… that Bastard son of a Whore… where is he when he’s needed…

He better find a way soon…

Or Else…

Wen RuoHan would be out to Kill him and burn the Sect Down.

[GUSU LAN]

QingHeng-jun could only listen to the Elders argue, even his First Born Son tuned them all out…

“You Caused This Mess… You Fix it…” Lan Huan stated coldly.

The Elders tried to use their Authority against Lan Huan, but –

“If Only You Didn’t Colluded With The Jins and Assassinated The Innocent Wens, The Wen Child and Young Master Wei this Mess wouldn’t have happened… You all got Greedy… and now all of us will pay the Price…” Lan Huan shots back without a second thought. “I died trying to fix Your mistake… and I won’t be getting in the way on whoever wants to have their revenge on you.”

Lan Huan’s answers caused more chaos in the hall, Lan Huan had the rights to chose on what he wanted to do… and he had chosen not to do anything, if the Wens would come he will let them come, he endured death before… he’s not afraid to die again.

And besides… he had someone to find.

[YUNMENG JIANG]

Jiang FengMian opened his eyes and looked up at the moon, the wind had shifted its direction… he could feel that something is going to happen soon, he stood up from where he is sitting and heads to his office… he had planning to do… ever since the End of the Competition, he could feel the Tension in the air.

But this time he’s not planning on dying and leave his children behind… with his Wife, Lady Yu gone… it’s up to him to protect this Sect.

Ever Since the Revival, people began living in fear because of Wen RuoHan’s return, and Wen RuoHan… the man hasn’t even done anything and everyone is scrambling around like headless chickens… some even demanding for the Yiling Patriarch to Put an End on Wen RuoHan’s reign. But all their demands were for naught when there is no sign of the Yiling Patriarch to answer their calls.

As what had A-Cheng told him, everyone treated A-Xian as a Hero, but then Lanling Jin and Lan Clan got Greedy… Lanling Jin tarnished A-Xian’s reputation and turned A-Xian into a Villain, they colluded with the Lans to Kill A-Xian… so they allowed the Second Jade of Lan to Marry A-Xian, but it turns out to be a Trap to kill A-Xian, no one knows if they succeeded. But A-Xian did left a Powerful Curse on Lan Clan.

And now here they are… at the Mercy of Wen RuoHan Once More and without the Yiling Patriarch to help them and keep Wen RuoHan at bay, they are sitting Ducks waiting to be slaughtered if Wen RuoHan fancies.

He had to Protect Yunmeng Jiang from those who would dare attack his Sect.

He knew Wen RuoHan is wary of the Anger of Jiangs… so he had to take advantage of that.

[QINGHE NIE]

Nie Mingjue is restless… he don’t know why, but he could feel that something’s big is going to happen soon. That’s why he’s preparing his disciple for it, but still he couldn’t shake the feeling that Wen RuoHan is up to something. He’s a bit confused as to why that Bastard is being Quiet rather than causing trouble with the smaller Sect.

Lanling Jin had been in a state of Panic these past few days after the Archery Competition and the Gusu Lan too… that Rogue Cultivator either on Purpose or by accident out of anger exposing the Two Clans’ Misdeeds.

He do remember what happened before the Great Revival, he was there when the Assassination of the Yiling Patriarch and the Wens happened… he was against it so he left Gusu that night, and the Next thing he knew is that Lan XiChen was Killed, decapitated and sullied… and then the Curse that the Yiling Patriarch cast upon the Lan Clan came like the Plague, Many died that day and the Lan Clan was almost driven into extinction… Mo Xuanyu was among those who died in agony.

The Second Jade of Lan had gone mad that day, after the agonizing Death of Mo Xuanyu…

“He Deserved it… They Deserved It! Lan Clan Deserved It!” Huaisang hissed in anger.

Never before he had seen his Little Brother showed so much Hostility before, of Course Huaisang showed that Anger for Wei Wuxian… the Yiling Patriarch had been Huaisang’s friend and Huaisang took Wei Wuxian’s Death personally.

And now… Huaisang seems to be acting like a Schemer… sending out his Spies everywhere possible… and right now Huaisang was just lounging nearby watching his Caged Birds. He remembers how Huaisang raged after hearing Wei Wuxian’s death, he had never been that scared of Huaisang’s anger before, he had underestimated him and now he knew what’s going to happen if Huaisang gets truly mad.

He could tell that Huaisang is preparing for something… but for what?

And XiChen is acting weird too, the Older Jade seems a lot more distant than he usually remembered, he heard that XiChen had laid down Punishment to those Lan Elders without Mercy at all, even to his own younger brother.

Now… There’s bound to be changes and without Wei Wuxian to often change the flow of events, he wondered what’s going to happen.

But it’s strange… that Rogue Xue Yang… How did he know everything? He tried to piece it together, the Sudden Revival, Wei Wuxian’s Disappearance, The Revelation… Xue Yang’s Hatred of the Second Jade of Lan…

He is very much aware of the Yiling Patriarch’s Disciple, but Xue Yang Disappeared after the Yiling Patriarch got Married to Lan Wangji… there is a Possibility that, Xue Yang was the Catalyst to the Great Revival… if Xue Yang is here… then Where is Wei Wuxian, only Xue Yang knows where Wei Wuxian would be.

He’ll make sure to meet Xue Yang soon.

[YUNPING, BROTHEL]

Meng Yao could only shudder as Cold Chills runs down his Spine, he just Managed to hide from Lanling Jin’s Disciples that were searching for him… he knew he made a great mistakes and suggestion. And one of that Great Mistakes is Killing Wei Wuxian and the Wens and that Wen Child… and he made an awful Miscalculation… Xue Yang… He knew that he should have subdued Xue Yang back then.

And now his Plan is ruined, he could have had it all! But no! He made a Grave Miscalculation and lost everything! He couldn’t go back to the Koi Tower… He couldn’t go back to Qinghe and couldn’t go to Wen RuoHan.

He wanted to Rage and destroy things… he had to do things all over again, but without help… it’s going to be difficult… and Xue Yang…

He had to get Xue Yang…

He Must Have Xue Yang on his Side…

He knew Xue Yang hates him, but he couldn’t afford to lose things again… even if he had to be a villain again just to get what he wants… he will do anything.

Mo Xuanyu could only stare out the window, his family stopped bothering him… even his cousin is staying away from him out of fear and madam Mo too, he had no idea how he came back to life. All he know is that he was dying from the Yiling Patriarch’s Curse, he still could feel the pain all over his body. The Curse is so terrible that he wished to die fast, he never want to feel that pain again.

He was never in-love with Lan Wangji in the First place! He’s in-love with someone else!

He doesn’t want to go back to Gusu!

He doesn’t want to have anything to do with Lan Wangji!

It’s all Lan Wangji’s fault that Yiling Patriarch had Cursed him!

He wants Xue Yang!

He just want his Xue Yang!

He Loves Xue Yang and Not Lan Wangji!

If he’s back here in the Past… Xue Yang must be back too!

He had to Find him…

He had to Find Xue Yang…

Wei Ying Felt Chills down his Spine, he had a feeling that trouble is brewing. He hasn’t even done anything major lately, he was just doing his City Lord Duties (Paperwork) and then there is this sudden feeling that something’s going to happen soon…

He just knows it…

His Office door opened when his Foxy Servant came with another Batch of Paperwork…

“I Told You So…” ZiQiang chortled as he laid down the stack of Paperwork right next to the other Stacks.

“Shut Up…” He growled.

“Need Help?” ZiQiang asked cheekily as his Fox Tail sways in the air.

“…” He didn’t say anything…

And the Damned Fox just laughed and began working with the other stacks of Paperwork and began summarizing them.

[YI CITY]

[XUE YANG’S OFFICE]

It’s a warm sunny day in Yi City, The People of the City was doing their Usual Work, at the Palace all Servants were Doing their Duties, Uncle XingChen and Song Lan were overseeing the Trainees, while the more busy people like Wei Ying was working on more complicated tasks like researching and experimenting New things… it has been three days since he have last came out of his working area, things were a bit tough lately for the City but it all passed smoothly. So now, Wei Ying is just working on some few Arrays. Each of them bears the Basic Elements consisting Earth, Fire, Wind and Water, And the Secondary Elements consisting Light, Darkness, Lightning and Metal.

“Hmm, what would happen if you tap a little energy?” Wei Ying muttered to himself as he reaches out for the Fire Array.

The Fire Array glowed and the tingly sensation pricks his hand as he tapped it with a little of his Spiritual Enery, and a tiny spheres of fire floats around him.

“Amazing!” Wei Ying said in wonder as you direct the little fire spheres around you.

Wei Ying was about to call another Element, When

“MASTER! GET THE HELL OUT OF YOUR WORKING AREA AND GET SOME SUNLIGHT!” ZiQiang called out from the corridor.

Wei Ying jumped and turned then called out

“Just a minute ZiQiang! I’m almost Done!”

“YOU SAID THAT ABOUT 3 HOURS AGO!” ZiQiang grounded.

“I swear I’m almost done, ZiQiang!” Wei Ying called out again trying to calm down since his Servant Friend ZiQiang always had this unpredictable energy flow that makes him edgy.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

“Master! Don’t make me break down this door! Come out of there right now and get some proper rest! Or Else!” ZiQiang threatened.

“Just wait will you!? I’m trying to finish up things here!” Wei Ying called back as he tried to calm his Spiritual Energy that flowed wildly. ‘Come on! Come on…’

“MASTER WEI! COME OUT NOW!” ZiQiang Roared as he pounded on the door Hard.

“Eeepp!” Wei Ying jumped in surprise as you ran towards the door.

BZZT~! BZT~! BZZZTT~!

“That’s not Good…” Wei Ying turned to see all 8 Elemental Array emitting Sparks of unstable Energy

[OUTSIDE THE DOOR]

“MASTER!” ZiQiang growled.

He and his Furs bristled as he could sense Unstable Mix of Energy in the air and

“Uh-oh…” Wei Ying gulped.

ZiQiang was about to call out his Master’s name, but

BOOOOMMM~!

A rather Loud explosion was heard throughout the whole west wing of the Palace and smoke covered the whole hallway.

“*Cough! Cough!* Master~!” ZiQiang’s Threatening tone grounded out.

He could feel himself leaning on the wall and he could feel the weight of someone on his lap, it’s Light and Slender…and he knew right away who it was and he circled his arms around his Captive’s waist securely.

“Ow… that hurts…” Wei Ying grumbled as he could feel the mixed energy of the 8 Arrays flow in his body and electrifying his veins. “Stupid ZiQiang causing such a Spiritual resonance.”

“Now that’s not nice…” ZiQiang chided as he held Wei Ying closer.

That’s when Wei Ying noticed that his Best Servant Friend was holding him close, if one could mistake their positions it would look like Wei Ying and his Best Servant Friend are having a Romance in the Hallway after the explosion. ZiQiang was leaning on the wall while his arms wrapped around Wei Ying waist, and Wei Ying are straddling him as he put his hands on ZiQiang’s shoulder… ZiQiang had this flirtatious grin on his face as he brought him closer pressing his Lithe Form to His (ZiQiang’s) Lithe Form.

“Let go of me you idiot!” Wei Ying protested. “I have to clean those mess!”

But ZiQiang never listen, instead of letting Wei Ying go he flung his Master over his shoulder and began walking towards his Room in the Tower.

“Your Cleaning Sprites are doing their Jobs, so don’t take it away from them and besides, you need a proper rest as the Doctor’s Order… And as your Servant I’ll Make Sure you get some proper rest and for the love of God you disobeyed that Order and so I asked the wen Qing that I’ll held you Hostage in the Tower until you are fully rested.” ZiQiang explained.

Wei Ying facepalmed at his Best Servant Friend’s explanation… ZiQiang could have told him a better explanation than that… Holding him hostage at his (Wei Ying’s) own room, that’s new… ZiQiang usually holds him Captive in his Room where the Fox could keep an eye on him.

“Just Put me Down! I can walk!” Wei Ying grumbled.

“No way… you deprived me of your attention for the Past few weeks and now that I got a hold of you, I’m not letting you go.” ZiQiang chimed as the Fox held Wei Ying’s legs tightly.

“You idiot! Everyone’s looking! Put me down!” Wei Ying protested as he pound his fists on ZiQiang’s Lithe but Strong Back.

“Let them look, they’re just jealous because I’m holding you close to me~!” ZiQiang hummed as he takes the flight of Stairs.

Wei Ying just rolled his eyes, he wondered why he tolerate ZiQiang to all of his stupidities? Scratch that, Wei Ying always tolerate him because he was his Best Servant Friend, he grew up with him and his bond with him is strong.

[MILD-TIMESKIP, AT DAWN]

“ZIQIANG! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! GET OFF!”

A scream of an Angry City Lord echoed everywhere so early in the Morning, making the sleepy Guards jump in attention.

“But Master you’re so comfy!” a sleepy voice of a playful Fox whined.

“I would appreciate it if you would stop using my stomach as your pillow and burying your face on it too! It’s uncomfortable! What if someone barge in and sees us!?”The annoyed City Lord Complained.

And the Complaining and Bantering went on, some of the Workers who were in the Lower Palace could hear the arguing.

“ZiQiang, I’ll kill you!”

“I love you too~!”

“Shut up!”

Everyone in the Lower Palace just facepalmed, what is ZiQiang doing to his complaining Master anyways? Back at the Tower ZiQiang shifted from his position and pinned Wei Ying on his own bed.

“You’re heavy!” Wei Ying growled trying to wrestle the Moron off.

But ZiQiang just tried to wrestle him back, Wei Ying was about to yell at him when the Door of ZiQiang’s Room swung open and the Wen Qing was about to yell but cut off when she saw both Wei Ying and ZiQiang’s position, ZiQiang had his knee in between Wei Ying’s legs, his hand is under Wei Ying’s shirt while the other pins Wei Ying’s wrists above his head, the Blanket was halfway down the bed. There was silence in the room

‘Oh Fuck!’ Moments took over…

And…

“Wen Qing! It’s not what you think!” Wei Ying cried in horror.

The Healer cleared her throat and closed the door…

“I’ll leave you two in your business…” was all she said and left.

[SOMETIMES AT MORNING]

Everyone in the Main Family are having their breakfast, when Granny Wen asked the dreaded question

“Zi’er, what were you doing on A’Ying’s Tower anyways? I could hear A’Ying Complaining all the way to the other Tower.”

“Well… You see…” ZiQiang said scratching the back of his head.

“You could’ve at least be gentle on your Master, when you two are at it… No wonder why Young Master is complaining so much, because you’re too rough on him, Zi’er~!” Uncle Four Chuckled.

Wei Ying have chosen to drink his water that time when Uncle Four said it, Wei Ying choked on his drink and coughed violently, he tried to calm himself down from coughing. Once he got his composure back

“What makes you think I’m having Sex with my Servant!?” Wei Ying cried out face red.

“You’re not? But I thought I heard you two doing it…” Uncle Four said blinking in confusion.

“We’re not! The Moron here *Points at ZiQiang* just held me Hostage in my own Room.” Wei Ying cried his denial.

“Ohohohoho~! Sir ZiQiang, You Sneak~!” Lady MeiLin giggled.

At the other side of the table Wen Ning was looking at his Sister oddly.

“Are you sure of what you saw?” he asked.

Wen Qing just shrugged… She doesn’t really care as long as the two idiots are not trying to kill each other, but she really doesn’t want to explain anything to Master Xiao and Master Song of what had transpired between the two.

“Master why don’t we go to Yiling? They’re Holding a Harvest Festival there, maybe we might find something good if we go.” ZiQiang calls out.

Knowing he won’t win, it’s better ZiQiang than Wen Qing dragging him out of his room. He agreed to go.

[YILING TOWN]

The Town was bustling with different people and Cultivators from various Sects, ever since the Resentful Energy receded from the Town, the Crops and Livestock began to flourish again. The Miasmic Fog just disappeared one day and the air became cleaner and the sky is no longer dull. People say that the Gods had finally Listened to their Prayers and the Town of Yiling Began to Prosper once more.

But ZiQiang knew why the Resentful Energy Receded, He glanced at his Master whom he noticed smiling secretly.

There were various stalls of goods and products, all of them are much better looking than before. Then there are street performances. What Wei Ying didn’t notice that ZiQiang had noticed is that, the Qishan Wen Sect are here too as Well as Qinghe Nie, ZiQiang knew something’s going to happen and he’ll be here to watch.

Both Wei Ying and ZiQiang are enjoying themselves until the Street Performance, as always Wei Ying orders Super Spicy food that almost send ZiQiang to Kingdom Come from the Spiciness.

Soon after buying things they fancy, both the Master and Servant went to watch the Street Performance, Wei Ying noticed some familiar old folks with their Instruments, he began to listen to a Familiar Tune that his Father Wei ChangZe always hum and Sing, Wei Ying steps up and began Singing –

“bái rì hé duǎn duǎn”

Wen RuoHan who was watching in the balcony nearby choked, the Song was very Familiar, he heard it before.

“bǎi nián kǔ yì mǎn
cāng qióng hào hào
wàn jié máng máng tài zhǎng
má gū chuí liǎng bìn
yī bàn yǐ chéng shuāng”

The Crowd was silenced the Elderly Cultivators looked at the Young Man before them singing the Song they knew by heart, it’s been a very, very long time Since they Head the old Song.

“bù ruò tiān gōng jiàn yù nǚ
dà xiào yì qiān chǎng”

Wen RuoHan felt his heart beats fast again, the last time he felt like this is listening to Wei YinYu singing the same tune from his (Wei YinYu’s) Mother The hold on his Teacup tightens as he watched.

“wú yù lǎn liù lóng
huí chē guà fú sāng
běi dòu zhuó měi jiǔ
quàn lóng yǐn yī shāng”

Curious Cultivators Rogue and Sect Cultivators alike Listens, ZiQiang was standing nearby watching his Master Sings, he grinned knowing that there are Cultivators from the Old Times still remember the Song of Lady HeZi. Everyone could sing the song, but nothing could beat the Weis if they Sang the song.

“fù guì fēi suǒ yuàn
yǔ rén zhù yán guāng”

More and More people began to Listen, most of them are elderly who remember the song… Wei Ying turned to look at his Servant and grinned, which is returned back by the Fox.

“bái rì hé duǎn duǎn”

Sect Leaders who were visiting the small Town began to listen as well, Lan QingHeng-Jun, Nie Mingjue, Jiang FengMian and Jin GuangShan watched the Performance with fascination.

“bǎi nián kǔ yì mǎn
cāng qióng hào hào
wàn jié máng máng tài zhǎng
má gū chuí liǎng bìn
yī bàn yǐ chéng shuāng”

Wen RuoHan stood from his bench and began a Duet with the Young Man which surprised the People and other Sect Leaders they didn’t expect Sect Leader Wen knew the Song too.

“bù ruò tiān gōng jiàn yù nǚ
dà xiào yì qiān chǎng”

The Crowd began singing as well with the duo, Wei Ying glanced at Wen RuoHan in confusion though didn’t show it but continued the Duet with the Man.

“wú yù lǎn liù lóng
huí chē guà fú sāng
běi dòu zhuó měi jiǔ
quàn lóng yǐn yī shāng”

ZiQiang who was watching could actually sense that Sect Leader Wen is interested with his Master. Looks like his Master unsuspectingly caught the attention of the most Feared Man in the Cultivation World.

“fù guì fēi suǒ yuàn
yǔ rén zhù yán guāng”

After the song, there was only Silence… Wei Ying was looking at Wen RuoHan directly, he’s confused at how the man knew the Song that his (Wei Ying’s) Father sung to him. and Sect Leader Wen was looking back at him with those intense red eyes which sent chills down Wei Ying’s spine, Wei Ying hurriedly left the vicinity before anyone would approach him. he grabbed ZiQiang’s wrist and dragged him away.

Wei Ying could feel his face became warm at the thought of Wen RuoHan looking at him, he shook his head trying to not think about Wen RuoHan… Nope… He doesn’t feel anything for the man.

“You know it’s your fault for catching his attention.” ZiQiang stated as he was being dragged away from the crowd. “And it seems he’s not in his Tyrannical self at this moment and he seems to be interested in you.”

“He may be interested in me, but No I’m not interested in him…” Wei Ying hissed.

“Then why are you so flustered?” ZiQiang asked in confusion.

“It’s nothing… Let’s just go…” Wei Ying snaps back as he tries not to blush.

ZiQiang knew that his Master is just as affected as Sect Leader Wen. He just knew that Once Wen RuoHan is interested on someone, that someone will definitely get Wen RuoHan’s attention and his Master just caught Wen RuoHan’s attention unintentionally and his Master very much doomed himself after that stunt he did.

[WEN RUOHAN’S VIEW]

He smirked when he saw the Young Man’s cheeks grew red, this Xue Yang is a very interesting person. The Question is, how did this Non-Wei Youth know the song of Wei YinYu’s clan?

“Zhuliu…” He calls out as he kept his eyes at the retreating back of Xue Yang.

The said man stood behind him –

“Sir?” Wen Zhuliu answered.

“I want you to investigate this Young Man for me, no matter how long it will take… I want information about this Young Man Xue Yang.” Wen RuoHan rumbled.

Wen Zhuliu nodded and left the room to begin his investigation…

He sat down on his bench and drinks his tea with a smirk on his lips.

‘Xue Yang… I wonder what you are hiding from me…’  He thought to himself.

He’ll figure it out soon, once he will have a meeting with the Young Man. For now he had to be patient. Closing his eyes he reminiscent of what happened earlier, the Song… who knew he would hear it again, not from a Wei this time. How did a Youth from the Xue Family knew of the Song…

‘Unless, that boy had connection with a Wei.’ He thought to himself again.

He couldn’t wait to meet the boy.

[YI CITY]

[XUE YANG’S OFFICE]

After hurrying back home, Wei Ying ran to his office unwittingly dragging his Servant with him. the Bastard is smirking at him.

“What do I do!!??” He cried pulling his hair in frustration.

ZiQiang snorted in humour, he knows his Master is very much doomed…

“You can’t runaway this time, Master… like I said, You doomed yourself this time.” The Fox cackled.

Wei Ying jumped his Servant trying to pin him…

“You!” He hissed.

Then the Door Opened and in came Wen Qing who stood at the door with a shock look on his face –

“Oh for the Love of – Wei Wuxian! First in the Tower… Now in the Office?” Wen Qing groaned running a hand down her face.

“Wait Wen Qing!” Wei Ying cried out.

“Whatever, Clean your mess once you’re done, I saw Nothing…” Wen Qing cut him off and closed the door fleeing that side of the Palace.

ZiQiang could be heard Laughing that day and Wei Ying screaming in Frustration. The Healer Wens could only shake their heads knowingly, whatever trouble those two get it’s all fun and games.

They very much hoped that Young Master Wei would find himself a Lover soon.

(A/N: Boy these Old Timers will have a Heart Attack when they know who’s going to Pursue Wei Ying…)

[TIMESKIP]

It was the next day and Wen Qing and Wen Ning could only stare at Wei Ying, the poor guy barely had any sleep while the Foxy Servant look more refreshed. The Wen Siblings knew that the Fox Servant sleeps with Wei Ying –

“So…” Wen Qing began with a grin… “How’s your night?”

Wei Ying just glared at Wen Qing, XingChen could only smile in amusement and Song Lan grunted hiding his smile on the cup of tea.

“Oh It Was Fantastic!” ZiQiang chirped happily. “Though Master was very rough.”

Poor Wen Ning choked on his own breakfast…

“ZiQiang! Stop saying so many misleading things!” Wei Ying grounded out.

“But Master, I’m only speaking the truth! You were so rough last night, my bottom is still sore.” ZiQiang said looking at his Master like a kicked pup.

‘This Little Shit…’ Wen Qing cackled mentally finally… Wei Wuxian had met his match on being shameless.

Wei Ying just groaned, he had no energy to argue. He’s plagued with thoughts about Wen RuoHan. Even in his dream the bastard is plaguing him so he didn’t get enough sleep last night.

“No Work for you today… go take a nap…” ZiQiang cackled as he struts out of the Dining room.

“A-Ying, don’t work yourself to the bone. Remember you have us to help you out.” XingChen said softly with a smile.

“Thanks Uncle, I’ll leave it all to you today.” Wei Ying said smiling back at his Uncle.

He really loved his Uncle XingChen and this time… Both Song Lan and Uncle XingChen will Survive… all they need now is to find A-Qing the Blind girl.

.

.

.

.

.

So for the rest of the day, Wei Ying spend his time sleeping… he dragged ZiQiang with him, he always find it comforting sleeping with the Fox, there’s nothing Major happening within the walls of Yi City. So he’s free to do what he wants for the day before he’ll go and check the City himself.

“Master, I should check the Stygian Tiger Seal.” ZiQiang said as he tries to get his Tail away from his Master’s strong Grip.

“You can Check it Later.” Wei Ying grumbled and pulled the Fluffy Tail close.

ZiQiang could only groan in dismay…

.

.

.

.

.

[TIMESKIP AGAIN]

ZiQiang was checking the Resentful Energy within the Seal, he knew the Seal had a Mind of its Own and he’s worried, so when he managed to get away from his Master he took the Seal and flee to his room.

He noticed that the Energy that Chenqing, Jiangzai, Suibian and the Yin Hufu are acting really weird… So he took all four to check on them if the Changes on the Energy that the Weapons are emitting are good or a bad thing.

And it’s getting late at night so he had to go to bed, he only misses his beauty sleep when he’s busy and this time, he’s a bit tired… like both of his Spiritual and Resentful Energy is being sapped out of him. he flopped on his bed and literally snored from exhaustion what he failed to notice is the changes on the Weapons. He just continued snoring away the night.

.

.

.

.

.

[AND BY THE NEXT MORNING]

ZiQiang woke up at the break of dawn and noticed the weight on his tails and in-between his legs… which was odd… his Tail doesn’t weighed that much in fact, his tail is light despite their numbers and he is sure as hell, his Legs are not that heavy nor fat to be heavy. He sat up and look at what is weighing him down and froze –

There between his legs and in the covers of his tails are two kids… two naked kids…

“G’Morning…” an unfamiliar voice right beside him called out.

ZiQiang’s heart stutters as he looks beside him, there a black haired man with sharp ember eyes looking at him blearily.

“You’re awake…” A Very Quiet voice called out by his working table.

ZiQiang could have sworn his heart almost stopped beating upon the sight of the visitor, this Visitor doesn’t wear anything but that above knee length black robe and a black neck guard with a red tassle.

“You sure sleep like a log aren’t ya… no matter what we do you won’t wake up.” An Auburn haired man chuckled.

ZiQiang couldn’t do anything but –

“Kyaaaaaaa!!!!”

He screamed so loud… loud enough to wake the whole people in the palace.

The door to his room slammed open and there Wei Ying charged in with a snarl.

“Who Dares!” Wei Ying snarls.

Then he paused looking his surrounding and noticed the unknown faces, but what he noticed the most are the two Children in-between his Servant’s legs.

“ZI’ER! WHAT THE FUCK!?” Wei Ying screeched.

“Master it’s not what it looks like!” ZiQiang cried in protest as he picks the smallest black haired child.

Wei Ying picked up the red haired child and look at it in confusion…

“Zi’er I swear if you stole this Children I am going to throw you in the dungeons for three days.” Wei Ying growled.

ZiQiang was about to protest when Wen Ning came barging in and everyone froze… Wen Ning Froze as he looked at both ZiQiang and Young Master Wei… then he noticed the two Children in both Wei Ying and ZiQiang’s arms.

“A-Ning We Can Explain!” Wei Ying cried out.

Wen Ning bolts out of the Room Crying –

“Jie! Young Master Zi Reproduced!”

ZiQiang cried in despair, he doesn’t even know what is going on and how did he ended up with kids… they’re not even Newborns!

Wei Ying grinned wickedly… Oh how he’s going to torment Zi’er with this one.

Chapter Text

~~**~~

As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun

-It Has Begun by Starset

[YI CITY]

[XUE HOUSEHOLD]

Song Lan could only stare, XingChen was just being XingChen, Wen Ning being Wen Ning and Wen Qing was staring at ZiQiang in Disbelief, while the Kittens are just staring right back at them. ZiQiang was covering his face with his Hands in shame -

“Zi’er, Explain…” Wen Qing demanded rather calmly which is scary.

“Yeah Zi’er, Explain it to us…” Wei Ying parroted Mockingly.

ZiQiang groaned and said –

“I don’t know how it happened, I was asleep that time!” ZiQiang whined and glared at his Master. “And besides, are you not confused as to why your Beloved Weapons are missing?”

Everyone was confused at the moment –

“Now that you mentioned it, where did they go?” Wei Ying asked. “I entered your room I am sure they’re not there, I am pretty sure you took them for checkups yesterday.”

ZiQiang huffed and pointed at the group right beside him.

“Why don’t you ask them instead of terrorising me?” The Fox grumbled.

Chenqing, Suibian, Jiangzai, Yin and Hufu looked at Wei Ying simultaneously which freaked the young man out. Chenqing a pale delicate like figure dressed in a feather-light weight, black silky robe tied at the waist with a red ribbon. A black choker collaring his neck with a blood red tassel hanging from it.

“Master…” Chenqing’s quiet and soft voice called out.

Wei Ying turned to Chenqing, The figure's white jade-like skin looked creamy and pale, almost near translucent. Long, elegant pale bare legs peeked out from beneath the black robed attire that came to a stop around the upper middle part of the thighs. The figure was also barefooted.  What was even more striking was the oddly pale, crimson red eyes with long black eyelashes framing them, the eyes matching pale red lips, and the straight glossy black hair that fell down the figures back past the lower base of the spine, reaching down to the upper thighs. He put two and two together and his eyes became comically wide –

“Chenqing?” He asked warily as if afraid of guessing wrong.

“Master, Chenqing is here…” Chenqing answered with a smile.

Wei Ying looks like he might faint…

“How?” He croaked as his voice almost failed him.

“Master, You think we are just Spiritual Weapons? We have Forms too and we take Human Form if we have enough Spiritual Energy be it Resentful or Spiritual.” Suibian chimed in happily. “I’m Suibian by the way.”

“Huh?” Wei Ying croaked, he is sure as hell didn’t use his weapons for him to give Spiritual or Resentful Energy for them to transform. “How? I haven’t used you guys for a while, so how?”

Jiangzai, Suibian, Chenqing, Yin and Hufu looked at ZiQiang who tilted his head to the side in confusion.

“I haven’t used any Resentful or Spiritual Energy to do anything.” The Foxy Servant said flatly.

“Your Room is Full of it so we absorbed it all, so here we are…” Jiangzai grinned flirtatiously.

ZiQiang was thoughtful for a moment, then he realized something –

“Oh… I Forgot, Every Red Moon I Transform to my Fox Form, Both My Resentful and Spiritual Energy must be Seeping Out Due to my Transformation every Red Moon.” He muttered to himself.

Wei Ying rolled his eyes and said –

“So What are we going to do now?”

Then there was a tug on Wei Ying’s Long, Luxuriously Silky Black Hair –

“Mommy!” Yin Calls out expectantly.

Everyone was quiet and was staring at the Lord of the House… Yin pouted and pulled at those Long Hair again.

“Mommy! Mommy!” He calls out.

“Mommy!” Hufu followed looking up at the Man before him.

ZiQiang cackled and said –

“Congratulations Master, You’re a Mommy Now.”

Wei Ying could only gape at his Servant and said –

“Wait! Why am I the Mommy?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Wasn’t it you who Created them from the Yin Iron Sword to a Seal?” ZiQiang calls out.

“But I didn’t expect them to become like this!” Wei Ying cried.

Hufu looked at his Mommy with lips quivering –

“Does Mommy not like us?”

Yin just stayed Quiet but those big teary eyes were looking at his Mommy. ZiQiang stood up from his Chair and picked up Yin and Hufu then said –

“No no, Your Mommy is just surprised, let Mommy think about it for a while.”

Yin and Hufu just buried their head on their Fox Uncle’s Shoulder, the said Uncle placed the Twins on Suibian and Chenqing’s lap and then dragged Wei Ying out of the Dining Room –

“Master, I know you are shock at the moment but be very careful. Yin and Hufu are children and you know Children tends to be Sensitive.”

Wei Ying sighed and dragged his hand down his face then said –

“I know that, it’s just that it’s all too sudden… I didn’t expect them to become like this at all.”

“Well, it already happened there’s no turning back on what has already happened.” ZiQiang said casually.

“So you’re saying I’ll play Mommy now?” Wei Ying grunted.

“Like I said, You Created Them… they are your Responsibility, so man up and take responsibility.” ZiQiang grinned as his tail wags.

“You’re making it sound like I took your First time.” Wei Ying said flatly.

The Foxy Servant just grinned toothily and said –

“Sorry Master, My First Time was taken about what? A Thousand of Years ago… By a Blacksmith.”

“You!” Wei Ying hissed and whacked his Servant on the shoulder.

“But never forget your responsibility to your Spiritual Weapons, My Lord. Especially Yin and Hufu…” ZiQiang chortled and sauntered back inside the dining room.

Wei Ying could only groan in agony, He already had a Huge Responsibility as the City Lord, now he had to take Responsibility on the Children. Damn it, He will have that Fox do the Babysitting Duty.

[MUCH LATER]

Wei Ying could only groan as he studies the Paperwork he was supposed to be signing, ever since Yi City became more like a Proper City than a Ghost Town, the City is now filled with people, Visitors from different Towns and Minor Sects. The Workers are Focusing on their Works such as Fishing, Hunting, Foraging, Logging, Mining, Smithing, Gardening and Carpentry, Agronomy, Horticulture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry, Fishery…

And there’s Disciple Training…Youths All Over the City comes to train to become the Yi Xue City Disciples. Wei Ying had no troubles for that, since it’s his Uncle XingChen and Uncle Song are training the Disciples.

And here he is working his ass off with paperwork, Yi City is a Growing City and it will be in a matter of time before the Great Sects will take notice of Yi City.

Knock! Knock!

The Door Slides open and ZiQiang poked his head in –

“Master, the Chief Elder of Yiling is here to speak with you.”

Sighing, Wei Ying puts his Quill Down and wore his Black Outer Robe with Blue Inner Robe and Silver Lining. Ever Since he became the City Lord he began Wearing Elegant Clothing, He had no idea where his Foxy Servant get all these Magnificent Silk to make his Robes.

.

.

.

.

As he enters the Throne Room he noticed that there are several Elders one Dressed a bit nicely than the others, which probably the Chief Elder of Yiling. Wei Ying sat on his throne as his Servants Began Serving the Guests…

After making the Guests Comfortable, Wei Ying went down to business –

“May I Know what the Elders’ Business with this City Lord?” Wei Ying asked curiously.

The Elders looked at each other and then they kowtowed right in front of Wei Ying which surprised the Young City Lord.

“My Lord, Please Help Us and our People of Yiling, we have nowhere and No one to run to. We asked Sect Leader Jiang to aid us from the abuse that the Second Young Master of Wen is putting us through, but Sect Leader Jiang could only do little to help us.” The Chief Elder cried.

Wei Ying felt his Blood Boil, Wen Chao… that Bastard…

“Why run to me though, you could have asked the Lans or Nies for Help.” He asked as he leaned at the backrest of his throne.

“We Tried but it only made things Worse…” Yiling Elder Wu answered.

“That Second Young Master Wen has been causing more trouble.” Yiling Elder Mu added.

“Our Daughters are being Harassed by Him… They always comes home crying after being harassed by the Second Young Master Of Wen. I Lost my Daughter after being Violated by that Wen Dog… Please Young Master… Give Justice to my Daughter.” Yiling Elder Xia cried out as he kowtowed to the Young City Lord.

“Our People are in Peril of being enslaved by the Second Young Master of Wen, and they erecting a Supervisory Office as We Speak. Ever Since Yiling regained its Former Glory as a Simple Town, The Second Young Master of Wen saw it to himself to Rule our Town and demanded that Our Daughters would be sent to him as a tribute for Protection, but how can we do that My Lord? If we go against him, He would Kill Us All.” The Chief Elder Huang ZhiWei cried as he lowered his head. “You are our only Hope, Young Lord. Please Save Us.”

Wei Ying Sighed and pinched the Bridge of his Nose, Yi City has yet to have Strong Disciples and now he had to do something about this new Problem, he couldn’t just ignore this Problem.

“Master…” ZiQiang calls out.

Wei Ying turned to look at his Servant –

“What is it?” He asked looking at his Foxy Servant.

ZiQiang leaned and whispered –

“Let me handle this Problem, this kind of Problem is Nothing New to me. So Let me handle it.”

Wei Ying raised a brow, he had no idea what his Foxy Servant had gone through but it seems that ZiQiang had experience on this kind of Problem. So he looked back at the kneeling Elders.

“Very Well, I Will Send my Trusted Servant and some of My Disciples to Yiling to help you out, ZiQiang here may not look like it, but he is a Fighter in his own rights.”

The Said Servant bowed to the Elders –

“I will do my best to aid you, Elders.” He greeted the Elders.

The Yiling Elders felt relieved that the City Lord of Yi City is helping them.

“Thank You so much for your Help, City Lord Xue… What We Owe Today, We Will Pay it in Full.” Chief Elder Huang ZhiWei Cried in Joy.

Wei Ying could only nod in return, Well… He would need Allies and he will start in Yiling and if Chasing Wen Chao and his Dogs away from the Town would earn him the Alliance of Yiling then so be it… He will need to Expand his Domain and it happens that the Burial Mound is Nearby so it’s not a Problem for him. And he will leave it to ZiQiang to do the Work, He knows what that Fox is up to.

[A FEW DAYS LATER AT YILING]

Wen Chao was marching proudly at the streets of Yiling, he frowned that he couldn’t see any beautiful women around to appease him. But he do see some unknown Cultivator roaming these Cultivator are Wearing Black and Blue Robes of Sort. He hadn’t seen Cultivators like them before and they are weird. With Wen Zhuliu by his side, he doesn’t fear anyone… even this Unknown Cultivators.

“Hey! Who are you? What Sect you are from? And Who is your Leader?” Wen Chao demanded with head held high in arrogance.

The Unknown Disciples stopped what they are doing and turned to look at the Wen Sect Young Master, they just gave him a Disgusted look and returned to what they are doing, completely ignoring Wen Chao.

Humiliated Wen Chao threw a Tantrum and pointed at the annoyed Unknown Disciples –

“Wen Zhuliu! Get Rid Of Them!” Wen Chao Demanded.

Wen Zhuliu without a Second thought charges at a random Unknown Cultivator, Core Melting Hand poised ready to strike, but as his hands were about to make contact with the Unknown Cultivator’s Dantian, someone’s foot made a hard contact on his back and literally stepped on him sending him crashing on the ground right at that Unknown Cultivator’s feet.

“My, My~♪ I only went away for a bit and trouble is already making itself known, hmm~?” A Voice purred dangerously.

“Master, That is the Core Melting Hand you are stepping on.” One of the Unknown Disciples called out.

The said Master hummed as if thinking…

“Core Melting Hand? It’s been a While since I Kicked a Core Melter’s Ass. The Last Core Melter I faced is not this Pathetic in fact, that Last Core Melter Gave me a Good Fight Before I killed him, who knew another Core Melter is too eager to die.” The Unknown Owner of the Voice purred.

Wen Chao shakes off his shock and pointed at the new comer –

“Who are you!? How Dare you go against us Wens!” He shrieked angrily.

The New Comer just gave this impudent Young Master a Glance, then he looked down at the Core Melter under his feet.

“How Low have you stooped, Core Melter? To actually become a Slave to someone, Your Ancestor is probably rolling on their Grave to know that their Descendant was reduced to a Slave… Your Ancestor never bows down to anyone and would rather die than to serve anyone.” This Unknown Master said dangerously.

“I owed Sect Leader Wen my life, therefore I shall Serve him and his Son.” Wen Zhuliu grounded.

“You are a Disgrace to Your Ancestor, You don’t deserve the Title of Core Melting Hand.” The Unknown Master growled.

And the next thing everyone knew is a resounding crack of a bone, as this Unknown Master slammed his foot on the very hand Wen Zhuliu used to Melt Core. Wen Chao seeing that his Priceless Guard Dog had been rendered useless, shook in terror, this Master before him is much stronger.

“As for you…” The Unknown Master growled as he walked closer to the ugly bastard.

Wen Chao backed away as fast as he could feeling a very powerful predator coming after him, He was supposed to be invincible! People should have feared him because he’s the son of the Sect Leader of Qishan Wen!

“Y-You! D-Don’t you dare! Do you know who I am!?” He cried out trying to be intimidating hoping that this Master would be scared.

This Mysterious Master just glared down at him in disgust and said –

“I know you… You are the Second Son of that Brat of a Sect Leader of Qishan Wen.”

“Then You should be afraid! If you hurt me, My Father would come and kill you all!” Wen Chao said laughing.

The Mysterious Master could only chuckle on the idiot’s stupidity…

“You think I’m scared of Your Father you whiny brat?” He said with a grin eyes gleamed dangerously. ‘Wen RuoHan is a Hundreds of Years Too Early To Intimidate this Thousand Years Old Fox Yao King, let alone to be an opponent worthy of fighting me!’

Wen Chao looked at the Master in shock… this… this Bastard… did this Bastard just tried to challenge his Father?

“You’re thinking I am Challenging your Father, right? Well… that’s up to you… for now, you better leave this Town and never return…” The Mysterious Master demanded.

Wen Chao looked livid –

“This Town belongs to the Wen Sect! Who are you to demand for us to leave!?”

Then Wen Chao found himself choking as this Master’s hand is on his neck –

“I Am The Servant Of My Lord and Master, and by his Order either You Leave or I’ll Kill You if you don’t.” The Mysterious Master Growled Dangerously. “And I do believe that my Lord hates you very much… so much that he wants you dead.”

[TINY FLASHBACK]

He stood in front of his Master’s throne, while Wei Ying is looking out the window… He knows that his Master was in deep thoughts –

“Then What Must I Do? Should I kill him if he refuses?” He asked curiously.

Wei Ying glanced back at him and said –

“No… Killing him would only earn Wen RuoHan’s ire… as much as I wanted him dead, it’s not time yet. Create an station there, if the Wens tries to get their hands on Yiling again, send me a letter.”

“Should I just threat him out of Yiling?” He asked.

“Do what you like, Take no Lives… all we need is time.” Wei Ying said firmly. “Go…”

He bowed and left the Throne Room…

[END FLASHBACK]

Wen Chao cried in terror once this Mysterious Master let him go, he crawled away. His entourage ran along with him after carrying Wen Zhuliu with them.

“Father will hear about this!” Wen Chao cried.

Once they’re gone, One Yi Xue Disciple approached –

“Is it okay to let them go, Master Zi?” The Disciple asked.

“Young Master Xue had ordered to let them go… it’s not time for Yi Xue Sect to move yet.” ZiQiang answered as he turned to look at the Disciple. “With them out of sight, let’s get to work.”

The Yi Xue Disciples began doing their Work, A Group Working Building the Outpost, Some Surveying The Area, Some are talking to the Town’s people. ZiQiang couldn’t help but frown at a certain Building.

“Master… You’re glaring at that Old Building for a while now…” Tang XiFei said worriedly.

ZiQiang shook his head and ruffled the Silver Haired Disciple then said –

“That’s the same Building where Master Xue Bought Me From.”

“Master?” XiFei calls out even more worried.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s in the Past. Let’s get to work.” ZiQiang said with a fond smile.

“Okay.” XiFei said quietly and followed his Master.

Everyone, including the Yi Xue Disciples knew of his Past as a Slave and yet they accepted him, respected him even… that’s why he is very fond of the Yi Xue Disciples and doing everything he can to protect the Young Ones, teaching them a few Secret Techniques.

[YI XUE CITY]

A Disciple kneeled before Wei Ying as the Young Man was working with the Talismans…

“Zi’er had driven the Wens out of Yiling?” He asked.

“Yes, He didn’t killed any of them as you ordered him so, Milord. He’s currently Working to build an Outpost.” Disciple Lu JianYuan answered truthfully.

“Good, You may rest for now and wait for my Orders. Dismiss.” Wei Ying said firmly without looking up from his work.

JianYuan bowed and left the room, once Wei Ying is alone he finished up his stacks of Talismans. It took him awhile to finish up a Good Stacks of Talismans, returning from the Dead has its perks, he’s lucky enough to have his Memories intact so making Talismans are too easy for him to make.

Now that he’s done with his Work, he went back to his room to have a Good Nap. It’s been a long tiring Morning, as he is still adjusting his life as the City Lord of Yi City.

.

.

.

.

As he reached his room he flopped down on his bed and closed his eyes, he really hates waking up too early in the Morning, but his New Status as the City Lord is not Helping him at all. He’s lucky enough to have breaks.

For now, He wants to take a Nap…

[WEI YING’S MINDSCAPE]

[WEI YING’S VIEW]

Here he is again, back in his Mindscape… he’s used to the Darkness of his Mindscape, but there were patches of light that comes from the Setting Sun illuminating the gloomy place and the Stars peeking at the Cloudy Skies Of The Burial Mound. It’s a Progress, but the Sky is in an Ephemeral Sunset with the Moon peeking in the Horizon, he had a feeling that the Sun will Set Soon and the Silvery Light of the Moon Will Light Up The Sky..

=“Everything has its meaning, Shizun. The Sunset here Signifies the impending Darkness that is to Come, the Stars are those People you come to bond with, the Bigger ones are Wen Qing and Wen Ning, they are the Stars that Guides You in your Darkest Hours and the Moon is that Servant you acquired for he Lights Your Way for you to see.”= A-Yang said softly as he looks up the Horizon. =“Shizun, Whatever may come in your way… Please do be careful, with everyone remembering of the Incident in the Past, who knows what they can do and what they can come up with.”=

“With me as a City Lord I don’t think they would do something that will incite the anger of the People that supports me.” Wei Ying said quietly.

=“Even so, there are people would dare… especially the Lans, Wens and Jins.”= A-Yang warned.

“Try as they might, they will die…” Yiling Laozu hissed as the Resentful Energy around him darkens.

“For now, I am acting as a City Lord in Yi City… Our Revenge will come soon, for now we lay low, we can’t move recklessly as we have done before.” Wei Ying said looking at his Yiling Laozu form.

“Fine… as long as the Lans pay for their crimes…” Yiling Laozu hissed.

“Vengeance is best served cold… We should wait for the right time, until we have someone to back us up. And I will never forget, Lan Wangji, Mo Xuanyu, Jin Guangshan all of them will pay…” Wei Ying said eyes cold as ice.

=“A Good Plan, but be careful Shizun…”= A-Yang calls out.

Wei Ying nodded as he felt himself being tugged into the Waking World…

[END DREAM]

Wei Ying woke up and noticed that it was almost sunset, he sat up no longer feeling tired. He looked at the side of his bed, and felt lonely he got used to Zi’er sleeping by his side and those fluffy tails too.

He got up from his bed and sauntered to the balcony of his room, he watched the Sun sets from the Horizon as the Night is about to come. The Cool Breeze blows, chilling the warmness of the Summer Night.

The Cultivation World is still Searching for the Missing Wei Wuxian, that’s fine. As long as their attention is in Searching for the Missing Yiling Patriarch, he can take all the time he needs to plan his Revenge, He already have the People and the Spiritual Weapons He needs right here in his Domain.

“Master?” Suibian calls out…

Wei Ying turned to look at his Beloved Sword and looked at the said spiritual weapon questioningly.

“Have you seen Jiangzai? I looked for him everywhere but I couldn’t find him…” Suibian said worriedly.

“…”

[YILING, TOWN’S INN]

ZiQiang was about to wake up from his nap when he noticed that someone is with him on his very bed. He opened his eyes and his Foxy Heart almost stopped when he saw the familiar face of –

“JIANGZAI! OH MAH GAWD!” ZiQiang cried in shock and rolled off the bed.

The said sword spirit grinned languorously –

“Well aren’t you a Lively Fox.” Jiangzai purred seductively.

“I already have a Lover, so bug off! What are you doing here anyways?” ZiQiang grunted glaring at the Sword Spirit.

“It’s boring in Yi City, Suibian is no fun, the Twins are annoying and Chenqing is boring. So I followed you here.” Jiangzai answered sitting on the bed with a grin.

Knock! Knock!

“Master, I hate to disturb you while you’re resting, but you have a letter from Lord Xue.” XiFei called out from the Corridor.

ZiQiang glanced at Jiangzai who grinned mischievously at him.

“Ya better get that letter, Sweetcheeks~!” Jiangzai cackled.

ZiQiang just hissed at the Sword Spirit.

[QISHAN WEN]

[THRONE ROOM]

Wen RuoHan glared at his useless Second Son…

“You decided to establish a Supervisory Office in Yiling Without My Permission and caused trouble that you can’t fight on your own and got Wen Zhuliu injured.” Wen RuoHan said sternly.

Wen Chao Quivered in fear of his father… He wanted to start up his own Minor Sect through establishing a Supervisory Office, but then that Mysterious Master showed up and ruined all his Plans! Damn it! Why is it people always ruin his plans, if it’s not Wei Wuxian it’s someone else!

“B-But father… this Cultivators, they’re different…” Wen Chao said shakily afraid of angering his father.

“Oh?” Wen RuoHan hummed in interest.

“Yes Father, they are led by a Cultivator, a Strong One. So Strong that he managed to defeat Wen Zhuliu.” Wen Chao answered.

“And who is this Cultivator?” Wen RuoHan asked now his interest is Piqued, it’s not every day that someone could go one on one with Wen Zhuliu. He personally trained Wen Zhuliu so only rare few could fight him on equal footing.

“He didn’t gave his name, all he said is he is a Servant to his Lord and Master.” Wen Chao answered lowering his head too scared of his Father’s reaction.

“Chao, tell me what this Cultivator who defeated Wen Zhuliu looks like?” Wen RuoHan demanded calmly but there was an edge on his tone.

Wen Chao squeaked and said –

“H-He has Long Blackish brown hair tied in a Half ponytail with loose fringes framing the almost feminine face, Sharp, alluring red eyes framed by long lashes and thin Layers of Colourful Robes that hugs the slim almost feminine figure.”

Wen RuoHan pictured the face of the Cultivator, and grinned upon getting the Picture. He remembered the face of the Companion of Xue Yang… he laughed low and dangerously.

“Dismissed.” He rumbled sending his Second Son away.

Wen Chao quickly left the room, not looking back… Once Wen Chao is gone, Wen RuoHan leaned at the backrest of his throne and took a sip on his wine. Looks like he had to visit Yiling and see this Cultivator Himself.

[GUSU LAN]

[JINGSHI]

Lan Wangji is in Seclusion at the Gentian House where his Mother was Secluded before, Bichen and Wangji Guqin are left alone in the Jingshi, so while Lan Wangji is away, both Spiritual Weapon took Form. Both Spiritual Weapons are Elegant and Beautiful –

“Qin, I don’t want to be here any longer… Young Master Lan is no longer the same…” The Icy Blue Haired Spirit said heartbrokenly.

The Golden Brown Haired Spirit Nodded and said –

“He’s not the same person as he used to be, his Heart is slowly falling into Corruption.”

“But… But where should we Go? We don’t know where Young Master Wei is…” Bichen said worriedly. “Up until now, no one could find the Young Master… We can’t go to Young Master Jiang.”

“Let’s take our chances in Yiling, who knows we could find someone who can help us find Young Master Wei.” Wangji GuQin said softly calming the Sword Spirit Down.

Bichen nodded, it hurts him to leave the Master he had been with. But now that the Master he had watched over the years Grow into a Madman, his Heart Ached. He had been stained with the Blood of the Very Man his Young Master had once Pursued and Betrayed. He couldn’t take it anymore, He doesn’t want to Serve a Master who is willing to kill their Spouse with their Sword.

So Both Bichen and Wangji GuQin Left Gusu Lan for Good.

[LATER THAT DAY]

Lan Wangji returned to his House, only to notice that the Familiar Spiritual Energy of his Spiritual Sword and Instrument are gone. He couldn’t feel Bichen and GuQin’s Spiritual Energy! He rushed to his room to where he left his Sword and GuQin…

They’re not there…

Bichen and GuQin are no longer there.

So he went to the Hanshi hoping that his GuQin and Sword are there.

[HANSHI]

Lan XiChen felt that the Two Spiritual Weapons in the Jingshi disappeared, he knew that both Bichen and Wangji GuQin left. He even felt that the two Spirits Left Gusu Lan.

“They left…” Liebing whispered softly.

“I know…” Lan XiChen answered drinking his tea.

“Is it really okay?” ShuoYue asked worriedly.

“It’s their decision to leave, even I can’t stomach the dishonour that Wangji had done to them.” Lan XiChen sighed, it sickened him.

There was silence at the moment and soon enough

Knock! Knock!

Someone was knocking on the door and Lan XiChen answered only to find a distraught Younger Brother.

“What’s the matter Wangji?” Lan XiChen asked quietly without his usual cheer.

“Brother, have you seen my GuQin and BiChen?” Lan Wangji asked.

Lan XiChen raised a brow and said –

“No, I haven’t.” He lied…

Wangji was Quiet for a moment and turned to look for his Missing Spiritual Weapons.

Lan XiChen felt a Little Sorry for his Younger Brother, but Wangji is at Fault as to why his Spiritual Weapons left him, he hoped that Both GuQin and BiChen would find a Suitable Master.

[YILING TOWN]

[WITH BICHEN AND WANGJI GUQIN]

The two Spirits roamed Yiling as soon as they arrived, the Place is so different than they used to. It’s no longer Gloomy and dying, people are roaming around happily than they used to be. And there are Cultivators wearing Black and Blue Robes roaming around, these Cultivators are not only carrying Swords, but Crossbows as well. They have no idea who are these Cultivators are and who they are serving to. Both Bichen and Wangji GuQin can feel that they are not any mere Cultivators at all, it’s as if they are trained by a Master.

They roamed and roamed, trying to find someone that wasn’t even there anymore. Until they felt that their Spiritual Energy is slowly depleting.

“GuQin, I don’t think I can go on anymore.” Bichen said as he collapsed.

“Bichen, Hang In There!” Wangji GuQin insisted as he tries to raise his companion.

Wangji GuQin tried to give some of his Spiritual Energy to Bichen But then –

“Oh? What’s this? Two Spiritual Weapon wandering around ownerless.” A Voice from behind calls out.

Wangji GuQin turned to look to who had spoken, only to meet the very Familiar face of –

“Jiangzai…” He mutters nervously.

The said Sword Spirit grinned and said –

“Looks like you two had ran into some troubles, huh? No matter, you better pick your friend up and follow me, unless you want to be picked up by some random people.”

Wangji GuQin had no choice but to follow the other Sword Spirit.

.

.

.

.

Once they reached a Certain Building…

“Zi’er! We have Guest!” Jiangzai calls out.

Not long after the call, a Person dressed in Black enters the Common Room. Wangji GuQin was on high alert when he felt a Powerful and Dangerous Energy.

“Calm down will ya? He’s not an enemy.” Jiangzai grumbled.

But then –

“Well, Well… if it isn’t the infamous weapon of the Second Jade Of Lan… Wangji GuQin and Bichen… What are you two doing here of all places and away from your Master?” The Mysterious Person said playfully.

Wangji GuQin couldn’t lie so –

“The Second Jade Of Lan is No Longer Our Master…” He said truthfully.
