Lan Wangji's pov,
I am on my way to lanling. I don't know why but my heart seems to be restless. 'Wei Ying please be safe.'
Ofcourse he will be safe nothing will happen to him or our baby. I trust my son's and when it comes to there childish mother I don't need to worry. We adopted jingyi officially after a year of our marriage. Even though elders and uncle opposed it as always brother helped us. During those years when Wei Ying was not with me Jingyi always reminded me of him.
  But today I really feel restless somehow. I should complete my work and return soon. As I got near koi tower I saw some sect leaders, brother, sect leader jiang. Jin Rulan isn't present I hope he is alright. After guayin temple incident the boy is closer to Wei Ying. And some where I also like him afterall he is just a kid who never got parents love. I got down from my sword and saluted everyone. They seem to be scared. What is it??? I approached my brother.
"Brother" I called.
"Wangji" he isn't injured but his spiritual power seems low.
"How's Jin Rulan?" I asked. Sect leader jiang seems to be surprised just like others. Brother seems to understand me as always. Rulan is same as sizhui and jingyi for me.
"Wangji he is-" brother was cut by someone screaming my name from inside.
"Hanguang jun~"
I moved to see who is it but the person hugged me tightly. Hell what's going on? Kids used to be scared to touch me and here. Everyone had the same expression 'Shock'. I looked down and saw my son's another bestie. Ouyang Zichen. Oh now I understand why why sect leader ouyang was scared. I looked at my brother who was trying his best not to burst out loud. I took a deep breath and called him,
"Zichen"
He looked at me. His eyes red. Was he crying all the while. Sniffling, tears flowed continuously.
"Calm down" I said and patt his head. This kids...sigh. Others seemed more shocked. Guys I am not a demon. Leave it.
"How's Rulan?" I asked him now. He sniffled again and pointed towards a room. Without waiting for anyone I went inside. After seeing sect leader jiang and zichens face. I think the problem is bit big. As I entered the room I Rulan lying on the bed unconscious. His body injured. I went near him and checked his pulse. There seems to be nothing wrong with his core. Then my eyes fall on his injuries. They aren't healing.This injuries aren't normal. I looked at brother and Jiang Cheng and rushed out and send a message to my kids. And again went inside. All the elders and sect leaders were inside the boys room. I sighed.
"Sect Leader Jiang, brother, ouyang Zichen stay, others retire to there rooms and wait for the meeting."
"Where's chief cultivator nie?" I asked after everyone left.
Brother shook his head.
"He was also injured heavily like other sect leaders."
Rulans body was burning he was the one who was most injured.
I looked at him. "Bring some cold water and cloth." I ordered. The boy is covered in black ash.
"What was it?" I asked.
"Dream demon" brother was the one to answer,Sect Leader Jiang seems to be in shock still now, tears flowing through his eyes.
I nodded and checked both there pulse. Like I guessed both have low spiritual energy. Brother explained how the demon uses our memories to haunt us and then injure. There seems to be poison used in this. I used the cloth to wipe the unconscious boys face as others stayed motionlessly. Soon I heard a commotion out. 'Oh they are here.' I thought. I turned to Zichen and Wanyin.
"Stay here and wipe his body with cold wet cloth." And for the first time in my life time sect leader jiang agreed to me. As I reached the door I turned," Wei Ying isn't in his health to travel" .
The man smiled and nod his head.
Brother and I reached the koi tower gate. Sect leaders, disciples and elders had surrounded someone.
"Sizhui" I called out in clear voice for others to hear.
They made way for us to reach the middle.
"Hanguang jun" the three greeted and sizhui came and stood behind me as I nodded.
"Lady Shen, Master wen" I called.  Everyone was shocked to hear me call a fierce corpse so respectfully along with Jiayi and wen Ning. I shook my head slightly.
"Wen Ning, Jiayi come in." I called and turned before anyone could protest.
They both followed me along with sizhui.
"Jiayi please look after Rulan and wen Ning check if others are poisoned too." They both nodded and started there work. Brother, Jiang Cheng and others looked at me.
"They both are best doctors in my knowledge" I answered my brother and assured sect leader jiang. Others I don't care.
"Sizhui" I called and went away from others near a small lake.
"Don't worry father. I didn't inform mother anything about Jin ling. He is already a crying mess. Jingyi said he will stay with him." He answered. I smiled slightly he can also read me just like brother and Wei Ying.
I nodded.
"Check those who aren't injured we will leave for hunt soon."
Soon the time passed, it was night. Many had lost there spiritual power while others didn't want to join the hunt. Mostly juniors wanted to join, from main four clans and some other smaller clans.
Soon along with Wen Ning, sizhui, Zichen and some more juniors I left. I had asked brother to manage rest and allow Jiayi to cure in whatever way she wanted. I believe her. Wei Ying once said she is better than Wen Qing.
As we reached there I called all the juniors near me.
"A dream demon is different from other demons. It uses your own memories to haunt you and injure you. Never look into its eyes and away from his strings." I instructed them how to attack.
The first attack was successful Wen Ning as a corpse was very helpful. But soon some more demons came. What's going on. How can so many demons roam freely. Oh no. It's a trap. I quickly used my talisman and build a protective barrier around juniors. And pulled Wen Ning too in. They seemed to be shocked.
"Hanguang jun"
"Show me your nails" I ordered.
Some were quick while others looked as if they wanted to protest. I glared at them. It always worked. As I guessed some of there nails were turning blue. Someone has used poison.
"Father" sizhui called looking at my horrified expression well for others it's no change.
"Take them to lady Shen" I ordered to some disciples and Zichen.
Only sizhui, Wen Ning, a nie boy and me were left.
"Sizhui and "I looked at the nie boy who bowed"Nie Mingyu" introduced.
I nodded.
"Both attack the last demon it uses noise to distract your senses. Sizhui use zither instead and Nie Mingyu use your saber." I instructed.
"Attack the single horned demon" to Wen Ning
I pulled out a red ribbon from my sleeves. Both my son and wen Ning smiled at me seeing Wei Ying's ribbon. I tied it on my eyes.
"Father" sizhui cried.
"Say no more, now go" and they left. This demon seems different the rays he uses if fall on your orbs may haunt you using your worst memories. Even Wen Ning wasn't able to stand it. I have more than enough worst memories to kill me. I shook my head. In one hand zither and other bichen. I attacked. Years of practice helped me to fight blind folded. The fight wasn't easy. Suddenly I felt restless. 'Wei Ying please be safe' I needed to finish this quick I used string formation and killed the demon. As I removed my blindfold I saw the other three covered in black smelly liquid. I almost laughed out loud looking at my son's pouty face. They had killed the demons. I went near them.
"Everyone alright" the three nodded. I gave Wen Ning my handkerchief as a-yuan pulled out his and gave it to Mingyu. I gave my son a spare cloth to wipe his face. Mingyu was looking at me with wide eyes.
"What is it?"
"Hanguang jun you don't have a single dirt on your clothes." He said with a bright smile. I nodded.
Again this time it was pain in my chest.
"Wei Ying"I muttered. Sizhui looked at me.
"Let's go back."I said and quickly flew towards koi tower with them. I should return soon. Already a day had passed. I need to see my Wei Ying. My heart seems too restless. As I reached I asked the kids and Wen Ning to change and rest while I checked the injured. Nothing was serious. But someone had use poison both the times. Night passed. Next day early morning I reported brother. I need to quickly reach near my love.
"Wangji is everything alright. You seemed disturbed."
"I feel restless" I answered in a low voice.
"Don't worry, a-xian will be alright. Why don't you join me to the market I need to buy some gifts for him."
I smiled and nodded. There was still time in meeting. I didn't rest a bit yesterday. We reached the market. Brother started to buy sweets and other gifts. I saw a shop. It had small onesies. My little one will soon come to this world. I brought two onesies for little one and a plushie for my big baby. He is lately obsessed with  toys. Soon we returned to hall and the attended the meeting. It took long time. I was feeling more and more restless and as soon as it finished I left. Sizhui and Wen Ning had already left but none had messaged me. Brother too followed. We didn't wait for the banquet. As I reached Gusu gate I saw something.
"Jingyi" I whispered. The boy had ran down the mountain. His hair open. Forehead ribbon tilted. A crying mess. He ran  towards me and collapsed.
Brother was shocked.
"Jingyi"I called shaking him. He opened his eyes slightly and mumbled," mo..mother...punish...save mo..mother" and he fell unconscious.
"Wei Ying no" I gave him to my brother and rushed up. I ran towards ancestor hall. My eyes widened in shock. My Wei Ying kneeling down and a disciple hitting him with a  whip.
"Wei Ying"I called out. My older son was tied to the pole. Before another hit I snatched the whip and threw it away. Brother reached us with unconscious jingyi in his arm. I kneeled beside Wei Ying and hugged him .
"We lost again lan Zhan we lost. I don't want to live lan Zhan. I lost" he mumbled crying. Brother gasped. I failed again. I could not save our Baobei. I cried slowly as Wei Yings loud cry shrieked in cloud recesses. Soon brother too hugged us both.
