A few days later, while Lan Zhan went for a quick word with his brother and uncle, Wei Ying walked around in the restricted area, until he heard a cold voice from behind him.

'What are you doing in this area?'

'Ah Su She.' Wei Ying turned around and gave the traitor a cold smile only to fake looking over his shoulder with a frown. 'What ...' when Su She turned to look over his shoulder, he produced a message butterfly and sent it off. 'Sorry, I thought I saw a dark shadow over there, and as to your question, I am just here for a walk ... why are you not in your swordsmanship class?'

'I'm doing my job to stop uninvited people getting into the forbidden areas of the Cloud Recesses.'

'Really? Then if I were you, I would get on with my job.' Suddenly there was a sword pointing at his heart and Su She wore a smile almost like he had hit the jackpot.

'That is just want I intend on doing.'

'What are you doing?' Wei Ying asked as he looked at the tip of the sword that was aimed at him by Su She. However, all Wei Ying could think of at that moment was

.......

...........

................

He looks like a flaming idiot like this.

...................

.....................

Do I mess with his head about that or have other fun with him?

............................

He is just so annoying.

.........................................

............................................

Screw him! I feel like having fun with him so time to act the idiot.

Even though he really wanted to rip Su She's head off and throw it in some rubbish heap somewhere then bind his soul to that place, he decided to play innocent. He didn't let him know that his secret was already exposed as Lan XiChen had told them both he would be taking steps himself.

So what will I do first?

It was raining rather hard earlier. He let his eyes scan the area and came up with something entertaining for himself.

'Lan Su She, did you hear my question?'

'Getting a spy out of the Cloud Recesses.'

'Spy?'

'Yes.'

He put on an innocent but excited face. 'Who ... who is the spy ... you really need to tell Lan XiChen or Master Lan instantly.'

'Shut up, you do not tell me what to do.'

'Oh no, I'm not trying to do that, I just thought you would want to advise your sect leader of some ... disgusting little spy being within the area. Don't you think the same thing?'

'.....'

Wei Ying wanted to laugh at the dumbfounded look on his face. 'Would you tell me who the spy is; I promise to keep an eye out for them.'

'You are the spy.'

Wei Ying stood there with his head tilted to the side and an utterly stupefied look on his face. 'Me .... I'm a spy ... really? ... who for ....'

'Shut up you idiot.'

You're the idiot here. Wei Ying thought to himself even while keeping the grin from his face. 'No, you said I was a spy ... I just really need to know who I'm spying for ... they might be upset if I have not told them anything .... About .... Hey, what am I spying on GusuLan Sect for?'

'No one with any integrity would allow someone like you into the forbidden area. It's like finding you in the Sect Leaders private rooms rifling through his private papers. I have the right to run you through.'

'I have the great Jade Beauty, Lan Zhan's personal permission to be here. But let's get back to the most important subject ... please tell me ...' Wei sighed heavily when he was interrupted.

'Don't ever lie about HanGuang-Jun and never defile him by calling him by that name.'

'I promise you Su She, I am telling ....' Wei Ying finished the last word then pretended to see something over Su She's shoulder. He had already noted the thick watery mud puddles around the area so, without any indication of doing it on purpose, Wei Ying grabbed the idiot by the collar and threw him behind a low bush .... Right into a puddle and then dove in behind him. 'Shhh.' Out the corner of his eye he watched Su She almost bubble over in anger as he lifted himself from the puddle but looked too scared to do anything if there was real danger. Large splats sounded as mud slipped from his face and chest into the water puddle.

'What are you doing?' even though Su She wanted to yell at the man, he kept his voice low.

'Wait.' He reached out and with an almost invisible push, Su She slipped back down into the water. Wei Ying put on a show of slowly raising his head and looking around only to grunt in confusion. 'I could have sworn ....' He rose to his feet and stepped back onto the pathway without looking back at the man staggering around the bush. 'Sorry Su She ... I must have become really jumpy lately.' He turned around in time to see Su She wiping his face on one of his sleeves. Almost the whole front of his robe was now brown and very wet. With great effort he didn't laugh only to find the man again had his sword in hand. 'Oh Su She, here, let me help.' As he went to help him brush off some of the mud that clung to the front of his robe, the man shooed his hands away.

'Don't touch me you idiot.' Su She then dove at Wei Ying with the aim of placing his sword through his right shoulder but instead he found himself on his face in the damp soil of the path. 'You dare to attack someone like me?'

He gave a loud sigh to show he was exasperated. 'Su She, I did not attack you; first I thought there were a few fierce corpses so I hid us, next, I merely stepped out of your way .... You fell on you face in the dirt all on your own. How can I possibly be blamed for your poor abilities?' He watched Su She wipe dirt off his cheek only to leave behind a clump of mud that slid down his cheek. Again he dodged as the sword was thrust at him, but this time it was at his heart. 'Now, now. No need to loose your temper like that. If you try to fight while you have lost your temper, you will loose sight and so the fight.' To be honest, he was having a hard time not laughing in his face as he looked like a raving lunatic the way he was now, not only was he a muddy mess from face to hem but his hair was also dishevelled with large clumps of thick mud sliding down. Hmph Wei Ying thought his hair must have gotten caught on the bush because of the mud in it.

'Stand still and take your punishment you worthless orphan.'

'No, I do not think I will stand still just so you can have a chance to skewer me and you need to calm your mind and soul before you try to do battle. When your mind is messy, so are your skills. Also, if you have a problem with orphans, how are you so friendly with a son of a prostitute who is now dead? His father can not stand him so will never recognise him as his own flesh and blood. That classes him as an orphan in society.' He knew that was not the whole truth but ... this was fun. He sighed as a show. 'You contradict your own words Su She ... and this is why I told you to calm down, you will let your mind work better then.'

'You ... you're nothing but a pathetic ... little ... nobody. You are not even a real sect member of any sect. They will not even allow you to wear their colours because they are so ashamed to have you with them ... who would want others to know you were a part of their sect.'

Wei Ying was almost sad that Lan Zhan was not around to hear this idiot, but then again, the worm might be killed if his lover heard. Wait a moment ... standing before him is a worm? And he is now covered in mud? This couldn't make a better image if I had planned it from the start ... just don't laugh. 'I have to ask .... How in the name of the gods did you even get into this honourable sect? Your hatred, spite and jealousy are against the rules of the sect are they not? Did you somehow hide your true self that well?'

'Shut up.'

'Oh now, why would I ever take orders from one who is just so weak in cultivation ... you must have only just squeaked past in the testing. I think they must have taken pity on you so you could enter.' He watched Su She's face pale horribly. He knew that was the truth as XiChen had told him many years ago. In fact, he had so much ammunition on this idiot he really wanted to let him have it. 'Also, were you really born into any arm of this sect ... I don't mind if you were not, many non affiliated people are taken in by the kindness of some sects who have hearts that are just too kind.' He grinned when Su She froze for a short time at his words.

'When I give you an order, you will follow those orders without talking back.' Su She's face was red with anger and humiliation at Wei Ying seeming to guess the truth.

'I really do not think so. Almost anyone belonging to the Cloud Recesses I would allow to give me orders as they are righteous and kind ... you on the other hand have a serious ego problem ...' he didn't need any special skill to avoid Su She's attacks as they were slow, clumsy and wild. 'You are far too easy to anger, which will be the weakness that others will see a mile away. Then again, they would just use that ego of yours against you.'

'Shut up.' Su She attacked him again, but he got no where near Wei WuXian and his fury rose with every missed strike.

'How have you passed any swordsmanship classes with this kind of ability? I've seen seven year olds with better skills.'

'Shut up, my skills are second to none.'

'Wow, are you saying you are better than my Lan Zhan ... and every other GusuLan Sect member? How stupid do you think I would have to be to believe that? Let's tell the truth here, you just love to mimic my Lan Zhan don't you?'

'I am better than him; he is only thought to be better because he was born into a rich family and is powerful!'

'Oh please. I don't even need to remove my sword and I still win against the likes of you.'

'You are just a pathetic orphan.'

'Maybe you can take some time while Lan Zhan and I are night hunting ....' He dodged again when the tip of the blade came at him again. This time Wei Ying used his sheathed sword to knock the idiot off his feet. 'What is it with you ... Oh wait a moment, did you see me and Lan Zhan together or something? Did you happen to see that darling man of mine openly kiss me?' he giggled happily as Su She flushed. 'He really does not care where we are or who is around, if he wants to kiss me or hold me, he goes ahead and does it.'

'You are just disgusting.'

'No. I love Lan Zhan and Lan Zhan loves me.'

'Wei Ying? Is something wrong?'

Wei Ying grinned happily as his lover just happened to arrive at the perfect moment.
