Legacies

Chapter Thirteen: Wen Yuan

"Everyone, wait!" Lan Xichen said, stopping on his track.

"What now?" Xiumin asked, feeling annoyed and irritated. 

"The array from the future is going to open again," Lan Xichen said.

As soon as he finished talking, a bright light erupted and the array finally showed itself. 

"Yo! We're back—Xiao Xiumin, you also time-traveled?!" Future Wei Wuxian exclaimed.

"Huh?" Future Jiang Cheng said, looking at Xiumin from the array, "That's why you haven't come back since that day. Oh and is Li Jie with you?"

Xiumin faked a smile. "Li Jie is not with me right now but he did time-travel," He said.

"Oh, so he also time-traveled with you all," Future Wei Wuxian said.

"Anyways," Future Lan Xichen interrupted, "We might need more days to bring you five back."

Sizhui looked at Lan Xichen, as if he grew horns. "Zewu-Jun, we are six in total, not five," He corrected. 

"Six?" Future Lan Xichen asked, "But aren't there only Young Master Ouyang, Young Master Jin, Young Master Xiumin, Li Jie and you only?"

"No?" Zizhen said, frowning, "You forgot Jingyi."

"Who is Jingyi?"

"Oh Lord, I'm hungry," Li Jie said, sitting on the grass. 

They were still in the Wen Sect. Wen Kexing had something important to do, the two juniors waited for him.

"You're not the only one," Jingyi replied, massaging his stomach. 

"Young Masters," A woman called, smiling politely. 

"Yes? Is there anything wrong?" Li Jie asked, curiously. 

"Oh, no! No!" The woman said, "I brought meals for the Young Masters. Chief Wen said that you two should probably eat since he is going to take more time."

"Food!" Jingyi yelled as he took the tray from her hands.

Li Jie shook his head in disapproval. He then looked at the woman and said, "I'm really sorry about my friend, Lady…?

The woman smiled warmly as she said, "Wen Yuna."

Jingyi chewed his food in his mouth properly and said, "Your name sounds like my friend's courtesy name. He is also a Wen. His name is Wen Yuan."

"How strange," Wen Yuna said, "I was planning to name my son Wen Yuan."

Somewhere in GusuLan, there was a thick tension going on.

"My Lord, Lan Jingyi has now disappeared from the throne of the Sect Leader," A young man, dressed in black and blue said.

'The Lord' smiled wickedly as he said, "Perfect. Now the target is Lan Sizhui. Follow him like how you followed Lan Jingyi."

The young man nodded as he bowed. "Yes, My Lord," He said and left the place.

"Did...Is she Sizhui's mother?" Li Jie asked, looking at Jingyi after Wen Yuna left them alone.

"I think so," Jingyi said, nodding, "They do resemble each other."

"Oh Lord, Sizhui doesn't remember his parents. He is going to freak out when he sees his mother," Li Jie said, worryingly. 

Jingyi nodded, staring at his chicken wing. "I'm really sorry but I have to do it. Don't take me wrong but it's really important," He said with full seriousness.
