'My Lan Zhan.' Wei Ying grinned happily as he skipped over and threw himself into his lovers arms with a laugh. 'You will protect me won't you?' when Lan Zhan growled violently he took a breath. 'Relax; this idiot is really no danger to me in even the slightest way ... then again, I find it hard to think any one would be in danger with how poor his skills are.'

'Get your hands off him.' Su She attacked but was thrown back by Lan Zhan who placed Wei Ying behind him for protection.

Su She landed on the muddy ground a few meters away.

'Wow, Zhan, that was very kind of you ... you went easy on him.' Wei Ying grinned happily.

Wei Ying moved in front of Lan Zhan again and stepped into his arms with a smile.

Su She seethed furiously at the way Wei WuXian was hanging all over HanGuang-Jun. It made his blood boil. 'Do as I say, stand away from HanGuang-Jun right now!' he felt his face flush at the sight of them standing there in each others arms, bodies plastered together. How dare he!

'It's alright Zhan; I promise Su She is no danger to me, he is just too weak ... but thank you.' He placed a light kiss on his cheek and smiled as his ears tinged pink. 'I love that you protect me. However ....' He turned his head just enough to look at Su She who stood there looking rather flushed and this triggered his instincts about this man and his attacks on Lan Zhan and himself. 'I have one thing to say to you Su She. Lan Zhan is mine and I will never let you have him .... Even if he was stupid enough to want you. This Jade Beauty is mine for our whole lives.'

'You dare speak in such a manor about me ... no one would ever choose you ...' he bit his tongue when he realised what he was about to say.

'Just stop Su She before you embarrass yourself .... More than you already have; Lan Zhan will never look at you the way he looks at me.'

'Like I would ever want that ... disgusting.'

'I can see the truth of your heart shining from your eyes you know.'

'If you so much as think of trying to harm my Ying ever Lan Su She, I will not think twice about cutting you down.'

'I am just protecting the Sect from the likes of him.'

'My sect does not need protecting form Wei Ying.'

Su She wanted to scream that they all needed protection from him but he just stood there with one hand gripping the sword and the other squeezed so tight, his nails dug into his palms.

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying. 'But I have to ask .... Why is this person in such a disgraceful state? I thought all GusuLan Sect Members knew to always be in a respectable state.' he gave a gentle smile when Wei Ying giggled almost silently.

'Oh, just after he ... found me here in the restricted area, I would swear I saw a fierce corps so I placed us both behind that bush ... tsk ...' he clicked his tongue. 'How was I to know there was a deep muddy puddle and that Su She could not balance himself well enough to stay on his feet ... twice in the same puddle?' He let Lan Zhan see his amusement. 'I was just trying to do him a favour.'

'I understand, but Su She has never been one for even half decent balance without notice. So Su She thanked you for your protection afterwards ... right?'

'No.' he sulked sadly at his lover as his fingers played with Lan Zhan's robes. 'He just tried to skewer me with his little sword. I don't know, I try so hard to protect him and he just attacks me and then he went down a third time.' just for a bit of fun, he dropped his voice so only Lan Zhan would hear and whispered into his ear. 'Look at Su She and think ... worm in mud.'

Lan Zhan smiled and then could not help but laugh at the image of his love throwing Su She into a puddle under such pretext and ending with a worm in mud image, so wrapped his arm around Wei Ying's waist and pulled him in tight then kissed him.

Wei Ying forgot Su She was even there as his lover kissed him passionately, tongues entwined as he became utterly breathless to the point he could not hold in the moan. 'Ah Zhan.'

Su She seethed. 'What spell have you cast on him you vile piece of tra ....' He didn't get to finish when he had Bichen instantly pointed at his throat. 'You can't be serious, you are choosing this disgusting piece of trash ...' he felt a slight sting on his neck and as a streak of blood dripped from it, he knew he had just been cut. Not a large cut, just a warning nick.

'Just once more ... I dare you.' Lan Zhan gave him every ounce of the icy glare he was famous for.

'Don't you realise that Lotus Pier will not even allow him to wear their colours? Doesn't that tell you what kind of person he truly is?'

'My Ying is a million times better than you could ever dream of being and soon he will wear white as a sign of being in the GusuLan Sect.'

Su She felt all pretext shatter at those words. 'I will never allow such a waste of space to join my clan.'

'Your Clan? Su She ... I think you dare to place yourself above my brother the sect leader, my uncle the sect disciplinarian and myself, the heir, with those words.'

'No one with a clear mind will allow that vermin into this sect ... or has this sect fallen so far?' he sneered at the pair.

'I know your heart Su She so .... Just shut up before I reveal it to everyone and not just Lan Zhan.' Wei Ying let Su She feel the ice in his voice and was glad when the man paled.

'My heart is pure ... unlike you, you cut sleeve ... to think that there are vile, disgusting cut sleeves in the GusuLan Sect let alone inside the boundaries of the Cloud Recesses ... who would have thought this sect would fall so far ... and with the leaders own brother.'

Wei Ying sighed when he felt the restraint Lan Zhan held over himself shatter to pieces at the same moment Lan Zhan was no longer standing before him. 'Well, now you've gone and done it you idiot.'

Su She froze when Lan Zhan shot at him and held him by the throat with a look so violent he thought he was about to be killed.

'Shut your mouth about my Ying.'

'Y ... Y ... You can't be ..... s ....s....serious.' Su She stuttered so badly with not just the fear of the situation ... he just couldn't believe this man was choosing Wei WuXian.

'I am a cut sleeve and my family have always known it. Are you daring to talk against your sect leaders words and oaths to his brother?'

'He would never allow such a thing to happen.'

'He not only allows it ... he has blessed our joining as a couple.'

'Liar ...' Su She screamed as loud as he could with that hand around his throat. He looked over Lan Zhan's shoulder and found that other man just standing there watching with interest at the situation. That little waste of space isn't even trying to calm HanGuang-Jun? He wants me dead!

'Oh no, I'm sorry Su She, but I will never intercede if you show such disrespect to the GusuLan Sect. My soon to be brother-in-law, Sect Leader XiChen, has indeed given us his approval. Are you willing to test Lan Zhan's temper just that little more ... he will probably just break your neck if you dare speak such a way about our sect again ... but if you speak against his beloved family ... you really do not want to know what he will do to you.'

'Brother.' Lan XiChen said softly from their left, he had been watching and listening and felt his heart warm at Wei Ying's words.

'Yes.'

'.....' after thinking carefully he chose what to say. 'I think you should let him go ... I do not wish for blood to be spilled for the wrong reason in our sect.'

'Very well brother.' He let Su She go, letting him fall to the ground coughing and gasping for air even as he turned and wrapped his arms around Wei Ying. 'Are you really okay?'

'Yes. He never got within feet of me even with that little sword of his.'

'He drew his sword on you?' XiChen looked over at the pair.

'Yes. I told him I had permission to be here, but he was determined to try to run me through anyway. At first he seemed content to go through my right shoulder but after that failed ... he was aiming for my heart. Later, I will let you do Empathy for what happened.' He made sure to tighten his arms around Lan Zhan's neck so he could not get free; the man trembled in fury in his arms. 'Take a deep breath my love.'

'Brother ... punish him.'

'Do not worry WangJi.' XiChen finally turned to Su She with a colder look than he had ever worn before, it was something he learnt from his brother. 'Su She ... you will follow me.'

'Why am I the one being punished ... you should be punishing him.' he almost screamed while pointing to Wei Ying with a hate filled look. 'He is the only disturbance in this sect ... or was I right about this sect?'

'Hey Su She catch.' Wei Ying tossed something at the man who instinctively caught it then opened his hands to look.

XiChen looked at the ground when he realised Su She could not even catch a simple piece of paper, but there was nothing.

I thought you might like to see some pictures I have come across.
