I'll Fix Everything | Wangxian

Chapter forty-seven

Hey I said 'chang clan' at some point in this, it's half six in the morning and I've just woken up, I'm not sure if that's accurate but I'm tired lol

Nobody, not even Grandmaster Qiren or Madam Yu left Wei Ying's bedside that day.

Together, they sat around the sleeping boy, briefly discussing their plans to stop every tragedy from occurring, focusing their plans on keeping Wei Ying's trauma to a minimum.

He had suffered enough.

He had suffered enough for too many lifetimes.

Lan Zhan sighed, "Yesterday Wei Ying and I would have departed for the Yin Iron, that means Xue Yang has already wiped out the Chang clan."

Lan Xichen nodded, playing the Guqin quietly for Wei Ying's rest and soul, "I assume Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan would have taken him to Qinghe Nie by now and... that means Da-ge would have executed him... since Wei-Gongzi is here and not there to stop him."

Jiang Cheng rubbed at his burning, bloodshot eyes, leaning against the wall with his knees to his chest as he sat beside his brother on the bed, holding his hand, "Good riddance." He huffed.

Grandmaster Qiren stroked his beard, "Xichen and Wangji have received the Yin Iron piece from Lan Yi, we need to keep that safely hidden." He paused, turning to Wei Ying sighing, at times, that boy looked so much like his mother.

Lan Qiren subconsciously gripped his beard protectively, "As much as I hate to say this, Wei Wuxian is the only person who could ever control the resentful energy, every single person in this room is either unfit, or would be seduced by its power, he, however, doesn't want power..."

Lan Zhan stiffened, "He's going to have to wield it again..." He whispered, strained as if it physically hurt to say.

Jiang Fengman grit his teeth, "If there were any other way... I would insist we take that path no matter what... but... the only way to beat Wen Ruohan is to use the Stygian Tiger Amulet... and the only person who can make and use it properly is A-Xian."

Yanli sighed, stroking her brother's hair, "Is there a way we can make using it less torture this time?" She asked, eyes trained on her brother's soft features.

Wen Qing nodded, "I can do daily check-ups, I also have medicines that can possibly ease the discomfort the amulet will bring." He paused, "Besides, this time he has a golden core and his entire body isn't shattered beyond repair, he won't be burdened by it forever."

Jiang Cheng flinched as Lan Xichen closed his eyes at the reminder of what Wei Wuxian had gone through, a regular response to a wave of overwhelming emotion.

Jiang Cheng seethed, speaking tensely with a clenched jaw, "I'd go out there and murder Wen Chao right now but... it would start the war we can't win yet." He sighed, "...Soon though..." He muttered, nodding to himself.

Lan Zhan huffed, his hand reaching for Bichen as if he needed it, "Wen Chao knows Wei Ying knows something about his father's plans... once again, Wei Ying is on his target list."

Lan Xichen spoke abruptly, surprising anger in his, however, calm voice, "I wouldn't worry over that for the time being, as long as Wei-Gongzi is in Cloud Recess nobody is getting near him." He promised, looking intensely at the boy on the bed, the same protectiveness in his gaze he harbours towards his own younger brother.

Wen Qing smiled softly, "I assume that involves Jin Zixun too..." She cocked her head, Lan Xichen nodded.

Lan Zhan flinched, looking down at his lap, "...It wasn't... Jin Zixun who assaulted him..." He whispered as he gulped thickly.
