Here we go with the 1st big reveal!!!

😀😀😀😀😀 

I had Wei Ying transferred to Jingshi. Uncle took care of Baochen. I had forgotten that they knew each other from their youth.

My love was lying unconscious. Although Wen Ning assured me that he should just rest, I asked a clan doctor to come and see him. The doctor confirmed that he was weak because his body had suffered a great upheaval. But he reassured me that his spiritual energy was flowing normally!

His spiritual energy ... Wei Ying had told me that he had no golden core since his rebirth! This could only mean one thing, that the implantation by Baochen had been successful. But whose golden core was it? When I asked Wen Ning about it, he told me that it was Baochen's job to tell me everything and that it was better to wait until he woke up. So I had to wait.

Brother and SiZhui had taken care of our guests. Why had this fallen tonight? I lay down beside my love and held him against me. Tomorrow, I hoped he would wake up as if nothing had happened. I fell asleep but woke up several times during the night to check on my soul mate.

The morning finally came. I got up. SiZhui came to check on Wei Ying. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. I let him watch over him while I went to Uncle. He and Brother were waiting for me.

"How is Wuxian?" Brother asked.

"He is still sleeping. His sleep is peaceful. And Baochen?" I asked Uncle.

"Wen Ning is watching over him. Let's go see if he's awake."

We walked out of Uncle's workroom and headed for the Isolation Pavilion. When we entered, Baochen was sitting in bed and Wen Ning was bringing him a bowl of soup.

Baochen looked at me. He had a faint smile.

"I'm sorry if I scared you Han GuangJun, but we only had four to five hours to re-implant the core and it took us almost four even flying on my sword to come to Gusu. Wen Ning had to come with me because he was the only one who knew how to extract and re-implant the core."

"Who is the donor? You said he and Wei Ying had the same blood?"

"Han GuangJun, that answer will have to wait until Wei Wuxian wakes up. It should be soon. I have a story to tell you and it needs to be heard by many people because it concerns them too. I would ask you to tell Jiang Cheng and Nie HuaiSang to join us at that time."

"Before you passed out, you said that your legacy was in good hands..."

"I knew you were more patient, Han GuangJun! Patience. You've waited 16 years for the love of your life to return, you can wait a few more hours to know the truth about the last 16 years!"

"Mnn, I would wait".then turning to Brother

"I'm going back to Jingshi, Brother, Uncle can you take care of our guests?".

"We will take care of it, Wangji, don't worry. Anyway, the first meeting for the conference is scheduled for this afternoon. We still have time.

"Mnn..." I walked out of the isolation pavilion and headed to my home. When I entered, SiZhui was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Father, he is restless and is calling for you in his sleep.

"Lan Zhan, where are you?" SiZhui got up and left his seat to me.

I bent down to place a kiss on your forehead. You sighed and your arms came around my waist, pulling me close. It was the first time I felt such strength in your arms.

"Wei Ying can you hear me?"

"Mnnnn , too early to get up" he muttered.

"Wei Ying, you are crushing my back!".

"Mnnn, what?".

"Let go of me!".

You finally opened your eyes! You smiled and your lips sought mine.

"Wei Ying, we're not alone!" You turned your head and saw SiZhui.

"You look better Die, I was worried!

You finally released me and I was able to get out of your embrace. I sat on the edge of the bed, while you sat up.

"What's going on? Why do you look so worried?"

"Die, don't you remember what happened last night at the banquet?"

You frowned. You seemed to be searching your memory.

"What do you remember?"

"Our entrance to the orchid room, the meal, we went around to the guests and there was a security issue and I offered to take care of it and then it was a black hole!

SiZhui and I exchanged a look.

"Wei Ying, how are you feeling?"

"In great shape! You two are really starting to worry me! What happened?"

"You don't feel anything different,... in your body?"

"No, I..." You looked at your hand. You rotated it and with your thumb and forefinger sent a wave of spiritual energy that shattered the teapot.

"What the hell ..... Lan Zhan, I feel a golden core inside me, how is that possible?

"Baochen, the doctor I told you about and Wen Ning, implanted it in you last night! He wants to talk to all of us as well as Jiang Cheng and Nie HuaiSang."

"Why?".

"I don't know!".

"Whose core did he give me?"

"I don't know!".

"Lan Zhan, stop imitating HuaiSang, you're doing it very wrong! Where is it? Where is Baochen?".

"At the Isolation Pavilion."

"Let's go, I want to know!".

You got up and went behind the screen to do a quick wash. Meanwhile, I sent SiZhui to look for Jiang Cheng and Nie HuaiSang. I told him to join us with them at the Seclusion Pavilion and to tell Brother and Uncle on the way.

You put on a dress and joined me. We headed to the Pavilion.

We arrived at the same time as Brother and Uncle. When we entered, Baochen seemed to be waiting for us. SiZhui, Jiang Cheng and Nie HuaiSang joined us a few minutes later.

Each of us settled in as we could. SiZhui had gone through the kitchens to bring something back to Wei Ying. He had left the Jingshi without swallowing anything and his stomach was starting to show.

"Well, I see that everyone is here, I can start my story, or more exactly "your story". For those who don't know me, my name is Baochen SanRen. I am... I was the grandson of Baoshan SanRen the Wandering Hermit. She left us yesterday, after almost eight hundred years of a full life. His gaze turned to Wei Ying and he smiled at her.

"According to her last wish, I have implanted her golden core into you."

"But why? Why me?"

It was a good question, I asked myself the same. What was the relationship between my love and Baoshan SanRen? Other than the fact that she had been her mother's master.

"Baoshan had a daughter a long time ago. Unfortunately, she died very young. She was my mother. She died in childbirth giving birth to my little sister, Cangse SanRen, your mother, Wei Ying . I am your uncle.
