"Lan Zhan..... Lan Zhan....."
By this time,the whole Cloud Recesses knew that there was only one person who was capable to cry out the second jade's name so loudly. Lan Qiren had almost gone into qi deviation the first time he heard it. Qinheng Jun had silently approved. Lan Xichen had muffled his laughs. Madam Lan had laughed out loud. And Lan Wangji..... Lan Wangji had fondly called back, "Wei Ying," without bothering with the antics going around them.
"Lan Zhan, are you buzy?" Wei Ying asked, pouting. He knew Lan Wangji could resist anything but not this.

"No." As expected.

"Wangji," Lan Qiren spoke, now half recovered, "It is a family dinner. You cannot leave."

"Aiyyah...," Madam Lan interjected, "Qiren, you should get married soon. You cannot always be jealous of my son."
"You.."
Before he could speak any further, Madam Lan turned towards Lan Wangji,
"A-Zhan, go and have fun with A-Ying. Don't bother yourself with this."
Having received the permission and leaving no room for argument, Wei Wuxian dragged Lan Wangji through the garden and into the back hill. He only slowed down when they have reached their destination.
Lan Wangji has been used to this since a long time ago. No matter the time, Wei Wuxian would show up at any time and drag him wherever he want. And Lan Wangji did not dislike it. To be honest, he loved it. He loved spending time with Wei Ying.
Lan Wangji looked ahead. There was a bunny peeping from underneath the tree hole. He had always secretly loved pets. Now having one in front of him, he couldn't resist the urge to touch it. He knelt down and picked it up. Wei Wuxian too knelt down beside him and touched between its ears.
"Lan Zhan, it's cute, isn't it?"
"Mn."
"So soft...." Wei Wuxian cued.
"Hey, Lan Zhan, can we keep it?"
"Pets are not allowed." Lan Wangji recited.
"I know I know.... But it isn't a pet. Look," he pointed at the little bunny's feet, "it was injured when I found it. So I put some medicine on its wound. Now I have to take care of it. So I can't leave it here, can I?"
After contemplating for a moment, Lan Wangji finally said, "Mn. Will keep it."
If Lan Wangji had any hesitation in his decision, it all disappeared the moment he saw Wei Ying's smile. "It is all worth it," he said to himself.
"Lan Zhan," Wei Ying said after a while,"Can we grow more bunnies after we marry? That way, they will be our children."
Lan Wangji looked up at Wei Wuxian, his ears beet red,
"If Wei Ying wants to grow bunnies, I could ask father for permission. If...if Wei Ying wants to have children, then we could adopt or..."
"I know, Lan Er Gege is the most powerful cultivator in our generation. He is only second to his brother. So how can he not handle simple things as this? Mm..?"
"It is not simple." Lan Wangji stated.
"So what if it is not simple? Male pregnancy is rare, I understand that. But it is not impossible. We both are equal in our cultivation. As long as we want to do something, we can do it. It's just a matter of time."
Well, that helped Lan Wangji convince.
"Mn. With Wei Ying nothing is impossible."
"And we will achieve all the impossible together."
"Mn. Together"

Together.....
Achieve all the impossible together.....
Together.......

Wei Wuxian woke up. He gasped. Where was he? Where was his mother? His brother, where was he? Who brought him here? Is he still in Gusu? Where was Lan Zhan? He wanted to talk to him. He wanted to tell the truth. But where can he find him?
He tried to move. But he couldn't. There were shackles all around his body. Who did this to him? He must go out.
He struggled hard to get free. But it was all in vain. No matter what he did, he couldn't free himself. He tried to summon his spiritual energy. But he found that it too was in vain. Anyways, he didn't expect any less from Gusu Lan.
While he was contemplating on what to do next, the door of the dark cell opened. Two disciples in white stood at the entrance.
"You are awake." One of them said.
Before he could even answer, he was dragged somewhere. With the direction, he could say that he was being taken to the Lan's ancestral hall. He closed his eyes. He knew what was going to happen next. He tried to compose himself. He had to compose himself! For his mother! And for his little brother! But he couldn't stop the tears that oozed from his eyes just by thinking of it.

Leaders, heirs and some disciples from different sects were present. Excluding the Lan, the other four main sects too were present. And their eyes were all fixated only on three people.

Cangse Sanren, Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang....!

The moment Wei Wuxian saw his mother and brother bound in shackles, he knew that everything was over. No one could protect them now except for Madam Lan. But where was she? Dead. Only she could prove Cangse Sanren's innocence. But she was dead!
