He had been standing quietly at the side. As he spoke, both Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng turned to him. It was as though Wei WuXian finally remembered to greet him. He nodded slightly, "HanGuang-Jun."

"I don't have a good feeling about this." said Jiang Cheng.

"Why?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Because you did't run up to Lan Wangji and you even called him by his title." said Jin Zixuan.

Wei Wuxian just stared at him.

Lan WangJi, "Were you the one who has been killing the Wen Sect's disciples?"

Wei WuXian, "Of course."

Jiang Cheng, "I knew it was you. Why did you kill them one at a time? It'd be so much of a hassle."

"I don't think so. It seems that it gave me pleasure." said Wei Wuxian.

"Killing has never been a pleasure." said Jin Guangshan.

"Well, I'm sorry to say this to yiu because from now on, killing will be a pleasure. Especially when it's you." said Wei Wuxian.

"Show some respect, I'm a sect leader." said Jin Guangshan.

"And?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Being a sect leader is great but out of all the sect leaders I'm going to respect, your name isn't on the list." he added.

Wei WuXian, "To play around, play with them until they die. Straight up killing all of them at once would be too easy on them. Much better killing them in front of one another one by one, one slice after another. Of course, with Wen Chao, I hadn't tortured him enough yet. Wen ZhuLiu, however, he'd received the guidance of Wen RuoHan and joined the Wen Sect with his surname changed, protecting Wen RuoHan's precious son under his orders." He laughed coldly, "He wanted to protect him, but I wanted to make him see how in his hands, Wen Chao would become more and more distorted, unlike a man but also unlike a monster."

"That's so cruel." said Sect Leader Yao.

"Yeah, it is." said Wei Wuxian.

"Do you want to have a taste of it?" he asked.

Sect Leader Yao could only glare at him seeing that all the Lans turned to look at him.

The smile was somewhere among cold, cruel, and pleased. Lan WangJi watched with clarity in his expression. He walked one step forward, "What means do you use to control such dark creatures?"

The curvature of Wei WuXian's lips dropped slightly as he glanced at him. Jiang Cheng had also heard the dissonant tone, "Second Young Master Lan, what do you mean by this?"

Lan WangJi's eyes were glued to Wei WuXian, "Answer me."

"Why do you seem mad, Lan Zhan?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"That's because he hated you and now that you're using resentment energy for revenge, he hates you more." said Su She.

Wei Wuxian frowned at that.

"If there's nothing good and right with what you're going to say, it's better if you shut up." said Jingyi.

"Before we lost our restraint and 'accidentally' kill you." he added.

The juniors are having dark faces, glaring at him.

The ghoul child and the blue-faced woman began to stir. Wei WuXian turned around and looked at them. They backed off slowly, reluctant, and sunk into the darkness. Wei WuXian finally turned to Lan WangJi again and raised his brows, "If you will... what would happen if I don't answer?"

Quickly, he ducked to the side, dodging Lan WangJi's sudden attack. He walked three steps back, "Lan Zhan, we've just met each other again after so long and you're already trying to catch me. That's not nice, is it?"

Lan WangJi moved without saying anything. Wei WuXian blocked whatever attack he threw at him. Both of them were fast. The third time he moved Lan WangJi's hand away, he spoke, "I thought that we could be considered familiar with each other. You starting a fight with me without saying anything does sound a bit heartless, doesn't it?"

Lan WangJi, "Answer me!"

"Lan Zhan." said Wei Wuxian.

"I never expected that you will attack me first." he added.

"I'm sorry." said Lan Wangji as he kissed Wei Wuxian's forehead.

"I'm not mad, I'm just worried." he added.

"He's just looking out for you, second son-in-law." said Qingheng-jun.

"He could just say it. Why bother attacking one another?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Not to be selfish but, I didn't get my revenge yet." he added.

"Well, Lan Zhan and I can talk about my phone ways after we get our revenge, right?" Wei Wuxian asked Lan Wangji.

"It's not like we will really have a real fight that we will hate one another." he added.

The juniors just looked at one another.

Jiang Cheng blocked himself between the two, "Second Young Master Lan!"

Wei WuXian, "Second Young Master Lan, what you're asking about really can't be explained in a short amount of time. And it's kind of strange If I were to ask you about the GusuLan Sect's secret techniques, would you answer me?"

"He will." Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang, and Jin Zixuan said without a second thought.

"That's against the rule." said Lan Qiren.

"No one cares about your rules anymore, old man." said Jiang Cheng.

"Especially us." Wei Wuxian added.

Lan Qiren could only glare at them.

"You've gone soft for them." Wen Rouhan whispered at him.

"I will never." said Lan Qiren.

"Lying is forbidden." said Wen Rouhan with a laugh.

Lan WangJi walked past Jiang Cheng and came straight at him. Wei WuXian crossed his flute in front of him, "That's too much, isn't it? Why so unfriendly? Lan Zhan, just what in the world do you want to do?"

Lan WangJi spoke one word at a time, "Go back to Gusu with me."

Hearing this, both Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng were surprised.

"Eh?" both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng reacted.

"Why did you say that, Lan Zhan?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Oh, I remember that your sect's motto is righteousness. Of course, you'll bring me there for punishment." he added.

"A-niang, that's not–" Sizhui didn't get to finish what he's going to say when Wei Wuxian spoked again.

"You don't have to defend your father, little radish." he said.

"As much as I love you, Lan Zhan. I won't go back with you." he added.

"But, Wei Ying I–"

"You don't have to say anything, Lan Zhan. I know." said Wei Wuxian.

Quickly afterward, Wei WuXian laughed, "Go back to Gusu with you? To the Cloud Recesses? Why go there?"

He immediately seemed to realize, "Oh. I forgot. Your uncle Lan QiRen hates crooked people like me. You're his proudest disciple, so of course you're the same as him, haha. I refuse."

"You heard that, Lan Zhan?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"I won't go back with you." he added.

"A-niang." said Lan Sizhui helplessly. His friends didn't know what to do either.

Jiang Cheng stared at Lan WangJi, cautious, "Second Young Master Lan, all of us understand the Lan Sect's ways. However, Wei WuXian saved you in the cave of the Xuanwu in Dusk-Creek Mountain, much less your friendship of having fought together. Now, to mercilessly denounce him straight away would be too unreasonable, wouldn't it?"

Wei WuXian, "Look at you. What a Sect Leader."

Jiang Cheng, "You can shut up."

"Wanyin, Wangji doesn't have plans to do that." said Lan Xichen.

"Well, he could just day what he wanted. Not saying small words like that. A lot of people can misinterpret it." said Jiang Cheng.

"Of course, as a sect leader, my brother will defend me against another sect." said Wei Wuxian.

"You finally become one, ChengCheng. You're such a good leader." he added.

Jiang Cheng just scoffed.

Lan WangJi, "It is not that I want to denounce him."

Jiang Cheng, "Then why do you want him to go back to Gusu with you? Second Young Master Lan, at such a point in time, the GusuLan Sect doesn't work with the others to kill the Wen-dogs and is instead still hanging onto its inflexible ways?"

"I can hear the insult." said Jin Zixun.

"That's a proof that you're not deaf." said Jin Ling.

"I hope that in the next scenes, you will use it not just making it as a display." he added.

"Lan Zhan, what are trying to do?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Finally, a-niang is willing to listen." said Sizhui.

"A-die didn't mean that he wants you to go back to Gusu with him for punishment." he said.

"Why?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"If you're not dense Wei Wuxian, you could've understand it." said Jiang Cheng.

"Says the one who also have difficulties on understanding other people feelings." said Wei Wuxian.

"At least, I understand what Lan Wangji wanted to say." said Jiang Cheng.

"Then, tell me." Wei Wuxian challenged.

Jiang Cheng is not the who will back off on a challenge and Wei Wuxian knew that well. Seeing the look that Jiang Cheng gave him, he smirked.

"He wants you to go back to Gusu with him so that he can protect you or more likely to hide you." Jiang Cheng said with a scoffed.

"It's quite easy to understand now that we know Lan Wangji has feelings for you." he added.

Wei Wuxian stared blankly at him.

"Is that true?" he asked in a whisper.

The hand holding his waist gripped tightly as he felt a light kiss on his forehead.

One against two, Lan WangJi still refused to back off. He gazed at Wei WuXian, "Wei Ying, for cultivating an evil path you would eventually have to pay. Throughout time, there has not been a single exception."

Wei WuXian, "I can pay."

Seeing how unconcerned he seemed to be, Lan WangJi lowered his voice, "The path would not only damage your body, but your heart as well."

Wei WuXian, "Damage or not, how much damage, I know it the most. As for my heart, it's my heart after all. I know what I'm doing."

"You two are literally fighting over it right now." Nie Huaisang said in disbelief.

"They're not fighting, they're just talking." said Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang-xiong, let me remind you that your definition of fight is different." said Nie Huaisang.

"Just listen to him, Wei Wuxian." said Jin Zixuan.

"Lan Zhan." Wei Wuxian whispered.

"I understand, Wei Ying." said Lan Wangji.

"I understand that during that time, you don't trust me that much knowing how I follow my principles." he added.

Wei Wuxian cupped his face.

"It's my fault, Lan Zhan. Don't be sad." he said.

"We won't fight like that ever again." he added.

Lan WangJi, "Some things you cannot be able to control at all."

Displeasure flashed across Wei WuXian's face, "Of course I can control it."

Lan WangJi walked a step closer. He seemed to be about to speak again when Wei WuXian closed his eyes, "After all, on the topic of how my heart is, what could other people know about it? Why should other people care about it?"

"A-xian." said Jiang Yanli.

"That's not really nice." she added.

"If he mean it, Wei Wuxian wouldn't close his eyes." said Jiang Cheng.

"Right?" he asked Wei Wuxian.

"Are you trying to hurt his feeling in order for him to stay away from you?" he added.

"He should stay away. I'm using resentment, I don't want to taint him." said Wei Wuxian.

"But, did he stayed away from you?" asked Nie Huaisang.

"You still tainted him one way or another." said Lan Qiren.

Lan WangJi paused. He had suddenly been angered, "... Wei WuXian!"

Wei WuXian had been angered as well, "Lan WangJi! Do you really have to make this difficult at such a point in time? You want me to go to the Cloud Recesses for the GusuLan Sect's confinement punishment? Who do you think you are, what do you think the GusuLan Sect is?! You really think that I won't resist?!"

"Damn, they're really mad." said MianMian.

"That they even called each other by their courtesy name." said Nie Huaisang.

"I bet that's the only time they called each other like that." said Jin Zixuan.

"A-niang, a-die." said Sizhui.

"Don't worry, a-yuan. That won't happen again." said Wei Wuxian.

"Just, just please don't fight. I don't like it when you both are fighting." said Sizhui.

"Come here. Your a-niang promised that he won't fight with your a-die ever again." said Wei Wuxian as he opened his arms for a hug.

Sizhui hugged him without a second thought.

"Always put in mind that a-die will never hurt or punish you, a-niang. Whatever the situation is." he said.

Hostile energy formed between the two of them. Over Bichen's hilt, Lan WangJi's knuckles turned white. Jiang Cheng's voice was cold, "Second Young Master Lan, right now, the chaos with the Wen Sect hasn't been stopped yet. This is the time where we desperately need forces. People don't even have the time to care for themselves, why would the GusuLan Sect be concerned about something so far away from it? Wei WuXian is on our side. Do you want to punish our own people?"

Wei WuXian regained his composure, "That's right. It's all good as long as the Wen-dogs are the ones killed. Why care about how I kill them?"

The two knew how to continue each other's words ever since they were young. Now, one sentence after another, the argument flowed seamlessly, "Apologies for saying something so blunt, but even if we get to the bottom of this, Wei WuXian isn't from your sect either. It's not in the GusuLan Sect's place to punish him. No matter whom he goes back with, it wouldn't be you."

"What an irony." said Jiang Cheng.

"Wei Wuxian did came back and sticked to him." he added.

"Jiang Cheng, I'm sorry for leaving you." said Wei Wuxian.

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything to me." said Jiang Cheng..

"Besides, it's more better that you're with him. I don't want some annoying man in my sect." he added.

"Who are you calling annoying? I am your brother." said Wei Wuxian.

"Whatever." said Jiang Cheng.

"Then, I must thank my sister-in-law for letting Wei Ying to be with me." said Lan Wangji.

"Yeah, you can keep him. It will make my life peaceful." said Jiang Cheng.

"More like you're going to miss him." said Jiang Yanli.

"That's impossible." said Jiang Cheng.

"Don't worry, I'm going to visit you every mealtime." laughed Wei Wuxian.

"I want to see how good you are at cooking." he added.

Hearing this, Lan WangJi's expression froze. He looked up at Wei WuXian, the lump at his throat trembling, "I..."

"He was affected." said MianMian.

"Don't mind my words, Lan Zhan. I think my future self wanted you to stay away from me to not ruin your reputation." said Wei Wuxian.

"He didn't really mean it." he added.

"I understand." said Lan Wangji.

"But, I hurt you." said Wei Wuxian.

"It's nothing as long as you're with me, I don't care how many times you will hurt me because I know that you're just that and I love you for being yourself." said Lan Wangji.

"Just, just don't push me away." he added.

Before he could continue, a thin scream came from Wen Chao at the corner. Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng immediately turned around. At the same time, the two of them walked around Lan WangJi and toward Wen ZhuLiu and Wen Chao. Wen ZhuLiu hung from Zidian. He was still struggling in agony. Wen Chao was half-dead. As he slowly opened his eyelids, he saw at once the two faces looking down at him.

The faces had the same youth, the same familiarity. They had both showed him expressions of either despair, anguish, or deep-set hatred. However, right now, their faces above him had the same cold smile, the same cold eyes.

Wen Chao didn't scream anymore. He didn't try to run away either. Vapidly, he raised up his finger-less hands and began to drool. Wei WuXian kicked him into the position of kneeling in the direction of Yunmeng. The revealed bones and flesh rubbed against each other. Wen Chao cried sharply in pain. It sounded especially jarring in the empty courier station.

"He's still alive." Jiang Cheng said in a cold voice.

"But not for long." he added.

"That's karma. He messed up with a wrong person." said Nie Huaisang.

"It's a nice pleasure." said Madam Yu.

"You two should kill him in the most cruelest way." she added.

"No worries, Madam Yu. I can assure you that my future self will really do that." said Wei Wuxian with a smirked.

"A death to remember." Jiang Cheng said.

"A-die, our family is cruel. They can be scary at times." said Jiang Yanli.

"It seems like we are the only one who are different." said Jiang Fengmian.

"A-die, please be a better person. Repent on your mistakes." said Jiang Yanli.

"Or I will force a-niang to divorce." she added.

"I won't sign it then." said Jiang Fengmian.

Jiang Cheng asked, "Why is his voice so sharp?"

Wei WuXian, "Of course it'd be with a certain thing gone."

Jiang Cheng was disgusted, "You're the one who did it?"

Wei WuXian, "It's nasty if you think about it that way. Of course I wasn't the one who cut it off. It was bitten off when his woman went mad."

"What the f*ck?!" Jin Zixuan cursed.

"I can't even imagine that." he added.

"We're not saying that you should imagine it." said Wei Wuxian.

"Or maybe you want some demonstration on how it happened?" he asked.

"How?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"Wang LingJiao, why don't you try to bit off your man's tongue since it seemed that he abandoned you in the future." said Wei Wuxian.

"JiaoJiao, that's not true." said Wen Chao.

"As much as I want to see that, we can't risk the younger generation's innocence, can we?" asked Wen Rouhan.

"Yeah, yeah. We can do that when we're alone." said Wei Wuxian.

"I still wants to see it." he added.

Lan WangJi was still standing behind them, watching them. Wei WuXian suddenly remembered his presence again. He turned around and smiled, "Second Young Master Lan, the following scene might not be suitable for your eyes. Perhaps it'd do you best to avoid it."

Although 'perhaps' was used, his tone sounded not in the least refutable. Jiang Cheng also spoke with both respect and distance, "That's right. Second Young Master Lan, Wen Chao and Wen ZhuLiu are already in our hands. The task has been completed, and it's time for us to part. What goes after this would be a personal matter of our sect. It's best if you return first."

"I'm going to report your rude behavior to xiongzhang." said Lan Wangji.

"It's not like I have never been rude." said Jiang Cheng.

"But, still thank you for helping me during getting my revenge." he added.

"More like I'm assigned by xiongzhang to monitor you even if finding Wei Ying is my first priority." said Lan Wangji.

"And you did both task successfully." said Wei Wuxian.

"You're the greatest." he added as he pinched Lan Wangji's cheeks.

Lan WangJi's gaze was still locked on Wei WuXian, while Wei WuXian's attention had already been taken away by his dying enemy. The eyes he looked at Wen Chao and Wen ZhuLiu with glistened, and his grin was both excited and cruel. Jiang Cheng had on him the same expression. Both of them had been buried within the overwhelming pleasure of revenge. Neither had the concern to deal with an outsider.

A few moments later, Lan WangJi turned around and walked down the stairs.

"You really left?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"You don't want to see how we will end them?" he added.

"I won't bother. I already knew how you two will deal with them." said Lan Wangji.

After he went out of the courier station, he stood before the door for a long time, but he never left.

He didn't know how long had passed when the silent night was ripped apart by a shrill wail.

"What a pity, it didn't show how we ended his life." said Jiang Cheng.

"But, hearing that shrill wail is more than enough." said Wei Wuxian.

"Why is Lan-er-gongzi still there?" asked MianMian.

"Maybe, he's waiting for it to end." said Jerecho.

"Or Wei Wuxian " said Wen Qing.

Lan WangJi looked up behind him, his white robes and forehead ribbon fluttering in the cold wind.

The night had passed. The sun in the sky was about to rise.

And the sun on the ground was falling.

"He's finally gone." said Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian.

"We got our revenge." said Jiang Cheng.

"That's a good job." said Madam Yu.

"For the reward, I won't punish the three of you for sneaking out for how many times." she added.

"What about, be a good parents?" asked Jingyi.

"It is more better." said Jin Ling.

"You two should start anew." said Sizhui.

Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan just looked at them.

"Lan Zhan, you really did waited for me." Wei Wuxian whispered as he hugged Lan Wangji tightly.

"I love you." he added.

___________________________________

Sorry for the late update everyone.

It took me a lot of time to make this part because I had a headache earlier and every time I look at my phone, my head started spinning, not to mention that my whole body was aching every time I make a move even just a slight movement.

And as much as I want to upload this part as soon as I finished it, my data connection went slow and add to that, there's a power outage here in our province.

The electricity just came back.

Hope you'll understand and enjoy this part.
