As soon as she was allowed, Wei Xinyi left the arena dragging her brother behind her as he stared at Lan Wangji with a stupid grin on his face. Lan Wangji was immaculate as ever,his expression frozen as he stared ahead.
In their room, Wei Xinyi stomped back and forth. The response was as negative as she had expected. Will they blame Yilling Wei for that incident 10 years ago? Wei Wuxian wasn't aware of it till now!! And the meeting.... The fucking meeting! How could she let her brother attend it on his own..... And she knew the boundaries of a lady in this world; Cultivator or not. Even if she went,she cannot carry her sword!
Wei Wuxian worriedly watched his sister pacing around the room. He had heard the hearsay. Apparently they were too high up in the ranks for a minor sect! Is that even a thing? What about Gusu Lan then??
"A-Xin,calm down meimei!" Wei Wuxian finally said.
"Xian-Ge you don't get it! You listened to what those Sect Leaders said right?"
"You are tired ah! Let's sleep. We will talk tomorrow ok?" Wei Wuxian simply hugged his twin as she reciprocated. No matter what,they had each other!
Day 3
Wei Xinyi calmly studied herself in the mirror in front of her. After a night of sleep,she had calmed down. So what if she didn't know the enemy? She knew the entire plot. For now, she would leave it to Wei Wuxian to gather friends who will be their allies in the future.
In order to act like a proper lady, Wei Xinyi abandoned her usual dark coloured clothes and wore a plain green one and let her hair down which reached down her waist. She regretfully abandoned her sword for the day. Her goal was to keep the attention off her Sect.
"Meimeiiiiiii!!!!! Did you miss Xianxian???? Let's-" Wei Wuxian paused as his sister turned around to face him. Maybe because she had dressed up today, she especially resembled Cangse Sanren at this moment. Wei Wuxian paused in his thoughts as Wei Xinyi called him over.
He staggered to her before plopping down in front of her and putting his head on her lap.
"Meimei looks especially beautiful today.... Just like A-Niang" Wei Wuxian whispered softly as a gentle hand stroked his hair patiently. Wei Wuxian truly loved his sister the most. She was the best in the world. Though they were twins and he was older by 3 minutes, his sister took care of him like a mother. She fought and taught him like a father,cooked and loved him, gentle like a mother and managed the Sect like the perfect Leader.
"I wonder how many suitors I would have to sway away today for my meimei!" he humphed like a small kid. Wei Xinyi couldn't help but laugh.
"No need. I already said I am not marrying out of the Sect, didn't I? Would I just leave my precious brother behind,hmm?" She cajoled him as he held onto her tighter.
They remained like that a moment before a servant knocked at their quarters to escort them to the meeting hall.
Wei Wuxian flashed her his charming smile as well as Wei Xinyi pinched him at the waist. Silently they let the servant guide them to the meeting room. The main Sect were yet to arrive. Other minor sects had begun settling down. Baling Ouyang Sect, Laoling Qin Sect, Meishan Yu Sect etc. were present. They quietly settled down at their assigned places though Wei Xinyi could feel several eyes on her.
She felt irritated and gritted her teeth in annoyance. Wei Wuxian seemingly glared at the Young Masters whoever glanced their way. The Qinghe Nie Sect entered with pomp as Nie Mingjue entered the hall with Second Young Master Nie, Nie Huaisang in tow.
Nie Mingjue was everything she has read. Tall,over-bearing, dominant and scary. Nie Huaisang was also everything she has read and known. He was dressed in delicate robes which would have cost any other man an arm and a leg. He held a matching fan in his hands,no saber in sight. Few disciples who participated in the competition followed them.
Then the Yunmeng Jiang entered. They had more disciples than the Nies. Jiang Fengmian with a gentle smile led the Sect,his wife Madam Yu hot on his heels. She had a no nonsense expression on her face,a bright purple ring adorned her finger. Zidian,most probably. Jiang Cheng followed them with a similar expression as his mother,albeit a little less scary. Jiang Yanli was doned in simple yet elegant pink robes and kept her head lowered demurely. She looked as pretty as in the drama.
The Wen Sect entered with only the Sect Leader Wen Heng and his two kids in tow. Wen Qing had a smart and intelligent aura and a beautiful face. Her expression was starkly similar to Jiang Cheng's. Wen Qionglin, or Wen Ning was the very picture of innocence and politeness. Wen Heng gently smiled as they took their place in the hall.
The entrance of Gusu Lan created some very expected commotion. Qingheng-Jun led his clan with a sombre expression on his face. Lan Qiren was not in attendance. Behind him the Twin Jades of Gusu followed him. Ther spotless white robes combined with the oh-so-handsome faces made them look like Immortals. Lan Xichen had a gentle smile on his face. His brother, Lan Wangji kept his face as expressionless as was possible for human muscles.
Finally the host, Lanling Jin entered as Jin Guangshan in his gaudy,yellow robes settled in front of the hall, Madam Jin next to him. Jin Zixuan and his illegitimate son, Jin Guangyao settled down to his right,below the dias.
" I extend my welcome to all Cultivators and Sect Leaders and my congratulations to all the worthy winners. Let us commence the official annual meeting."
All the minor clans were expected to introduce their disciples. Wei Xinyi dreaded inside. She was not good being the centre of attention!
"Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian from Yilling Wei"
There. Again. That damning silence.
Wei Xinyi wanted to go away from this hall.
Wei Wuxian didn't bother about the rest. His eyes met Lan Wangji's for a split moment as he winked at him cheekily before Lan Wangji looked away. Yunmeng Jiang stared at him warmly while Jin Guangshan studied him curiously.
"Young Master Wei,I must congratulate you on your success at the competition. Truly worthy of Yilling Wei." Jin Guangshan said, yet he definitely didn't mean it.
"This disciple thanks Sect Leader Jin." Wei Xinyi thanked her stars that Wei Wuxian did have propriety till now!
"I do not see Young Lady Wei after all. Is she not in attendance?" Jin Guangshan picked up his cup as he remarked.
This snake.
Wei Xinyi gracefully held her robes before stepping beside her brother in the centre of the hall. She reluctantly lowered her head speaking far more softly than she had ever.
"This one is Wei Xinyi from Yilling Wei"
A few audible gasps were most definitely heard across the room and so was whispers.
'This maiden can really fight?'
'She is a beauty....ahhh'
'Both of them are. Whoever gets to have them....'
'I don't believe the results anymore. She can hold a sword?'
Wei Xinyi could immediately felt Wei Wuxian tensing behind her. She gently grasped his tightening fist as she shakes her head.
This arc was so difficult.
So much for a peaceful day, Wei Xinyi sighed as she could already see the things coming off this conference. It would definitely be like it was in the novel.
Courting.
Wei Xinyi not for the first time hates her face.
