Everyone present there was stunned. Stunned to the extent that they questioned themselves if they were dreaming?

"How could the dead be alive?" They whispered among themselves.

They could not believe what they were seeing. They all remembered the tragedy that had befallen upon the Wei family. They remembered that there were two death in the family, namely : Cangse Sanren and Wei Wuxian. How could the latter be alive?

The hall had a pin drop silence. No one was able to say anything. They just kept staring at the new figure that approached out of thin air. They were in a daze. And they were even more stunned when Lan Wangji had the courage to call out,

"Wei Ying..."

Lan Wangji was not stunned for he knew that his beloved was alive. But he was surprised at the sight of his beloved after months. He was on cloud nine. He could not describe his happiness through words. He had longed to see that face and now that he was finally able to see it, he just couldn't control the emotions surging up within him.

Getting no response from his beloved, Lan Wangji called out again,

"Wei Ying...." This time, he came forward to his love of the life, trying to get a closer look at him. But before he could get closer, the Yilling Patriarch replied,

"Second Master Lan."

That voice was colder than ice and hearing it, made others shiver. Lan Wangji too felt the same.

This voice was much more different than what he had heard in the forest. This voice was more revengeful and it was filled with hatred. This voice was so shard that it could rip anyone apart.

Lan Wangji did not expect this. He knew for sure that last night, Wei Wuxian had come to see him. And he knew very well that no matter where he went, Wei Wuxian followed him. He knew fir sure that deep down Wei Wuxian still had feelings for him. He was so sure but right now, hearing that voice, looking at those eyes, the cold demeanor of his beloved,..... Lan Wangji's hope of ever being together with his beloved was slowly fading away.

"Wei Ying...." He called out again but this time, anyone with heart could understand that the Second Master Lan was in great pain.

"Second Master Lan, we are extremely sorry for not bringing any congratulatory gift on your engagement. We did not know that it was your engagement until we cane here. Not our fault though. Still we wish you a very happy married life." Xue Yang replied smugly.

Lan Wangji took no care of Xue Yang's words for he was looking at Wei Wuxian. He kept eyeing him but it was in vain. Wei Wuxian did not regard his presence as anyone important. He just shrugged off Lan Wangji as they had not known each other before. And this what hurt Lan Wangji the most. He never knew his Wei Ying could be so cold. And before he could say anything further, Xue Yang spoke again,

"Clan leader Jin, we are here for a purpose, we cannot wait here all day long. Could you please tell us where you have hidden the Dafan Wen's?"

"How does it matter to you?" Jin Guanyao questioned back as if Wei Wuxian's return did not surprise him at all and he knew it all along.

"I never knew that the Jin's were coward to speak."

"You....." Jin Guanshan controlled his anger.

"Why do you care about them? They are Wen's after all." Jin Guanshan said between clenched teeth.

"We don't have to reason with you. Either you say or we make you say. You can choose one."

"How dare you?" Jin Zixuan, the heir of Jin's cried, he took out his sword and aimed it towards Xue Yang as if showing that he was ready to fight.

Wei Wuxian, who was silent the whole time, looked at the sword pointed towards his brother. He gave a death glare to the owner of the sword, and there he was, the Jin Clan heir was bleeding profusely on his arm.

Every other cultivator present at the hall zipped their mouth shut for they knew what would happen if they talked as well. Jin Guanshan was fuming yet he could not do anything but keep shut.

Lan Wangji was not concerned about what was happening around him. He just focused on his Wei Ying. His beloved. His soul. His one and only!

Lan Wangji inched closer to Wei Wuxian until he stood face to face with the Yilling Patriarch. Tears threatened to fall and he couldn't care any less about it.

"Wei Ying......" Lan Wangji reached out to Wei Wuxian only for his hand to be patted away by the Yilling Patriarch's flute, Chenqing.

"Second Master Lan, is there anything I could help you with?" The Yilling Patriarch questioned.

And this was more than enough for Lan Wangji to break down.

"Yes...." He cried, "There is none other than you who could help me vanish this pain of love." He said in between tears.

Xue Yang did not miss the way how his brother clenched his flute to ground himself so he said,

"Second Master Lan, could you please move aside? We have more important works to do than have idle chat here."

He then turned towards Jin Guanshan and asked,

"This will be the last time I am asking you before the Patriarch questions in his own way, where have you hid the Dafan Wen's?"

Jin Guanshan, who had clearly seen what the patriarch was capable of, replied,

"Those Wen's are of no use anyway, it's a waste keeping them with us. Go to Qionghi Road and find them yourself."

"Look, that wasn't hard right?" Xue Yang asked with a smirk. Then he turned towards the Patriarch and said,

"Let's heed to Qionghi Road, shall we?"

Without a reply, the patriarch eyed everyone except Lan Wangji and turned to go. Xue Yang followed.

"Wei Ying...." Lan Wangji held Wei Wuxian's hand from back, "take me with you, please."

Wei Wuxian turned around grasping his hand away from the grip, and replied,

"Second Master Lan, who do you think you are? Do you consider yourself...."

Lan Wangji interrupted.

"I am Wei Ying's one and only love. Whom he could not forget in his both lives. For whom his heart beats for. For whom he would live and die for. I am Wei Ying's one and only, his soul and his oxygen. Who would rather die than live without him. Who was dying without him. Who just wished that his Wri Ying would ascend down out of nowhere. Who just wished a world with none but him and Wei Ying. Who....."

Lan Wangji could no longer continue. He was a crying mess right now. He did not care what others thought about him but he just needed his Wei Ying to understand his love and the pain he was going through. He would do anything to get back his Wei Ying again.

Wei Wuxian knew that he would encounter Lan Wangji but he wasn't prepared for this.

"Lan Zhan, what should I do?" He thought to himself.
