We laid Wei Wuxian in a water bath. I move a piece of cloth over his wound. It's big and looks painful. I am not angry with Clan Leader Nie for stabbing his future self. I'm angry at his future self. He is nothing like him. There has been massive blood loss. The wound is deeper than I expected. Yanli comes in with a tray of tea and more cloth. 

I bow to her. She bows back.

"I do not hate him." She says to me.

"I know." I nod.

I turn back to cleaning his wound. His breath is soft. He looks so innocent and beautiful as the sun shines down on him. I then take a bottle of medicine. I pour it over the wound. Yanli sits down beside me. 

Her eyes swell up with tears. She looks at me.

"How could he become this?! How?!" She yells.

"I don't know." I sigh. 

I grab the bandages. Yanli gently lifts him up. I start wrapping the bandages around his wound. I do it slowly and softly. I don't want to hurt him anymore than he is already.

"He's gonna make it right?" Jiang Cheng says.

"We'll see." Death says abruptly. 

Jiang Cheng and Yanli both jump. I glare at him.

"Don't look at me like that Lan Zhan. This is just another crossroad." Death says. 

He walks over. He touches the wound. I grab his hand. He pulls it off. He then touches the side of his face. 

"We both know it's coming sooner rather than later." He turns to me. 

I glare at him. I've seen him survive countless times. I just hope he can survive this. I finish the bandages. Death leans on the wall. I gently pick him up. I don't care if water gets on my clothes. I walk him gently over to the bed. I carefully place him onto the bed. I pull the covers up. I turn to the window. I see a paper man. The same one Wei Ying uses. I take it. I read the message on it.

"What does it say?" Yanli asks worryingly. 

"A meeting. Future Wei Ying wants to meet with all of us." I answer.
