It had been one year since Lan Rin and Wei Wuxian died.

Lan Xichen was in the ancestral hall, in front of Lan Rin's memorial tablet, his robes were fully white, he was crying. Lan Wangji was also fully wearing white and he was sitting next to his brother, he was bowing as much as he could, but his injuries were forcing him, Lan Xichen asked:

"Wangji, anything?"

Lan Wangji shook his head:

"Brother, I couldn't find their souls, they aren't responding."

Lan Xichen:

"I hope hey aren't shattered Wangji"

Lan Wangji:

"I doubt."

Lan Xichen helped Lan Wangji up and asked:

"A-Yuan and A-Yi have been good friends?"

Lan Wangji:

"Brother, A-Yuan wants to wear the forehead ribbon."

Lan Xichen:

"Wangji, this is a serious matter, are you sure?"

Lan Wangji:

"Brother."

Lan Xichen didn't need to hear further, he asked:

"Did you think of a name?"

Lan Wangji:

"Sizhui"

Lan Xichen:

"Lan Yuan, Lan Sizhui?"

Lan Wangji:

"Mn. It seems like he lost all his past due to his fever, he doesn't remember Wei Ying or Wen Ning."

Lan Xichen closed his eyes and said:

"Wangji, I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse."

Lan Wangji looked at him:

"Brother, any news on uncle, elders?"

Lan Xichen:

"They are all still exiled and will remain exiled."

Lan Wangji looked at the ground with sad eyes and said:

"I want to go to Yunmeng."

Lan Xichen:

"Wangji, you have to rest."

Lan Wangji:

"Brother, for Wei Ying."

Lan Xichen sighed and nodded, he asked:

"Do you want to sleep on the journey?"

Lan Wangji shook his head:

"No."

Lan Xichen assisted him out of the ancestral hall and ordered disciples to prepare chariots. Lan Xichen also sent a talisman letter to Jiang Cheng to inform him that they were on their way and told about Lan Wangji's situation as well.

The journey felt so long to Lan Wangji, his face was icy as usual. When they arrived in Yunmeng; Jiang Cheng, Jin Zixuan and Wen Ning greeted them. Lan Wangji was sleeping on Lan Xichen's shoulder, Lan Xichen grabbed Lan Wangji and passed him to Wen Ning, Wen Ning gently grabbed Lan Wangji, carried him, Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan helped Lan Xichen get off the chariot, Jiang Cheng said:

"Why did he come in such a state?"

Lan Xichen:

"Sect Leader Jiang, we came to pay our respects to Master Wei."
