Every person from Wang clan was ready to go back to their original place. Lan Xingchen saw that Lan Chenxiang (clan leader) had already sent the force to catch them. only Lan Xingchen knew the short cut from Lan clan to Wang clan. because he was a cultivator who always had to catch the monsters, so some years ago he discovered this short cut. he thought, "turned out, it was for today." he commanded, "Everyone must follow me!" everyone nodded obediently. Lan Xingchen was happy that now nobody from Wang clan will be suffering.
Lan Xingchen's character*
but he was sad also because for this he had to stand against his own clan. he was seeing his own brother sending force to kill him. he knew that if he will cross the border of Lan clan today, he would never be the same for his whole Lan clan and the people living there. he will be called as 'traitor' but still he was saving Wang clan. because he was a person who can die but can't see someone in any type of difficulty. especially when his own cousin killed an innocent kid, how could he still protect his cousin. that's why he decided to protect his sister Weixiao rather than protecting someone who has committed crime, even if he will die in future, he doesn't care. he didn't think twice if he should leave with them or not. he just commanded them to follow him and left.
ON THEIR WAY-
Wang weixiao's character*
Everyone one was going after Lan Xingchen. they all followed him. Wang Weixiao who was also riding her horse and running after Lan Xingchen, thought, "Why must he protect us? and stand against his own real brother? just for justice? he's indeed capable of anything in this universe. in future, how will I pay my gratitude towards him?" she was also not happy to see Lan Xingchen against his own clan. her eyes were full of tears. she couldn't stop thinking about Wang Lei. he died without any reason. for a moment she thought of quitting because she knew that standing against a powerful clan when you're nothing in front of them will give you nothing, but just deaths of your loved ones. but suddenly she remembered.
When she came to know that Lan Mingyu was the one who killed Wang Lei. she lost her face expressions and all the hopes. she just buried Wang Lei's dead body. when she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but fell down, and started crying. she knew that she cannot avenge Wang Lei, because she was nothing in front of Lan clan. she apologized, "Wang Lei, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. your sister can't even avenge you. I'm sorry. even if you forgive me, how will I face you in the netherworld? I'm sorry" she was crying. then Lan Xingchen came to her and shouted, "I tried so hard to control myself. but in the end, I think I can't control myself anymore. why do you always have to be sorry for everyone around you? can you just explain this little logic of yours to me? why? can't you just not give up and fight for justice?"
After she remembered what Lan Xingchen said to her. she wiped her tears and looked at Lan Xingchen. she thought that if Lan Xingchen can fight against his own brother to bring justice, why can't she? especially when Wang Lei was from Wang clan.
After crossing the forest, Lan Xingchen stopped. he asked everyone to stop too. he jumped off his horse and went to check if anyone from Lan clan was behind them. as new Wang clan leader, Wang Weixiao followed him. they both were hiding behind trees. they saw carefully that nobody was behind them. because they took the short cut, it was difficult for the force sent by Lan Chenxiang to catch them easily. they were on the path, which wasn't discovered by anyone else. they went back.
Lan Xingchen's character*
Lan Xingchen said, "everyone, we will rest here for a bit. let me find you some water." he smiled and looked at Wang Weixiao," "sister Wang, you must take care of them until I come back." Wang Weixiao nodded. Lan Xingchen knew the whereabouts of the lake. he didn't take anyone with him because he was afraid that a betrayer might be here. he didn't want him to know about this place. he went alone riding his horse. Wang Weixiao saw everyone was exhausted. she too was tired but this time, she couldn't just sit and be careless so she pretended to look cool so that everyone will follow her actions.
NEAR LAKE-
Lan Xingchen was on his horse with his sword. he was near the lake. suddenly he heard the voice of someone killing a bird. he was shocked, because nobody knew this place. he jumped off the horse and unsheathed his sword. he was being careful because that could be anyone not only persons from Lan clan but also the wild animals. he shouted, "who's there?" he saw a bird who was killed by someone. he moved towards it to see what it is. he noticed that it was the bird from Lan clan, who was maybe sent by Lan Chenxiang to follow him. he was shocked because it was following and also because it was killed by someone. it was not possible for Wang Weixiao or anyone from Wang clan to kill it, because they didn't know about this kind of bird also they won't kill a random bird. suddenly he saw someone in front of him whose face was covered. he couldn't understand who he might be. because he was following him and on the other side he killed the bird who was following them, he was a little surprise and afraid as well as confused. he was wondering because what if they already caught Weixiao and others.
