I'll Fix Everything | Wangxian

Chapter fifty-two

2/2

I've been sleeping on the sofa for two days and my back hurts

Wei Ying gasped as Lan Zhan's arms wrapped around him and he was pulled into a solid chest, hidden from the Wen soldiers, "Wei Ying has done nothing to provoke you!" Lan Zhan growled, stepping away every time someone stepped toward them, "He is also still recovering."

Wen Chao clenched his fists, "Lan-Gongzi, if you do not want to be punished as well, I recommend you hand. him. over!" He yelled, glaring at the trembling boy in Lan Zhan's arms.

Wei Ying clutched the Lan's shoulders, "L-Lan Zhan," He stammered, the arms around him tightening, "L-Let me g-go I'll be okay..."

Lan Zhan ignored him, however, nodding at Jiang Wanyin who stepped in front of them, "Wen Chao, how could Wei Wuxian possibly know anything?!" He shouted, "You keep your lips tightly sealed, no?"

Wang Lingjiao scoffed, "Are you talking back?!" She shrieked, "How he knows anything is what we want to know! As well as how much he knows, if he knew nothing, why would he ask Wen Qing to defect from the superior sect, why would he say that Clan-Leader-Wen didn't deserve her?!"

Wei Ying winced, me and my big mouth... He sighed, "Wen Chao. I will go with you-"

Jiang Cheng glared at him, "No you won't." He snapped, turning back to Wen Chao, "Once my brother awoke from... from his attempt... h-he was incoherent, whatever he said must have been taken out of context."

Wen Chao snorted, "You expect me to believe that?" He asked, before sighing and shaking his head, "Alright, this is getting boring. Wen Zhuliu!"

Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan wrapped themselves around Wei Ying, refusing to let anyone get near him, "Back off!" Jiang Cheng yelled, finding himself entirely fearless when it came to his brother's safety.

And then a sea of gold helped hide him too.

Jiang Cheng blinked in shock, as did Wei Ying, "Jin Zixuan?" The trembling boy whispered.

Jin Zixuan nodded supportively at them, if Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji were willing to go to such lengths to protect Wei Wuxian from these accusations, then something more must be going on.

Miammiam beside him nodded too before bringing her empty hands out in front of her and bowing deeply, "Wen-Gongzi, we are not at all questioning your authority, we just ask you please let this go as Wei-Gongzi is still recovering his mind and body."

Wen Chao cocked his head, "Should I care about a mere servant boy's wellbeing?" He scoffed, shaking his head mockingly, "Fine. One of you can come too."

Wei Ying tensed, "N-No don-"

"I will go." Lan Wangji glared, intertwining his fingers with Wei Wuxian's, "I will keep you safe..." He whispered.

If Wei Ying weren't so upset that he'd dragged Lan Wangji down to the dungeons with him, he would have blushed and looked down, whining something beneath his breath.

Wei Ying gasped as he was thrown into the cell, his ankles tied to his wrists tied to his neck with chains which clanged and clattered with the impact.

Lan Zhan was thrown down too, landing on his knees he rushed to Wei Ying and pulled him up into his chest, "Wei Ying!" He cried, hugging him tightly.

Wei Ying hugged back, hoping he could protect Lan Zhan too.

Wen Chao grinned, locking the dungeon door leaving him, Wen Zhuliu, a few guards, and the two boys on the floor, "This is adorable, truly," He pointed, "But I want answers now."
