Journey to the Beautiful Ending

C11 - Yi-gege meets A-Yang

I don't know if there is such winter herbs 😅

Reason why Sizhui was calling Wen Ning as brother. If you watch "the living dead" movie, I based it there. Though sometimes, he still slipped and call him uncle.

*_______________*

Sizhui and Jin Ling finally able to get out from the cliff. Wen Ning felt relieved when the two seems to be fine. Jingyi was more than satisfied seeing the two sneaking at each other.

Wen Ning led them to the cave where he is hiding. Wei Wuxian and the rest was already there and waiting for them. The cave was quite big inside. Enough for all the disciples to rest. There's a bonfire that has been lit up with a pot on top of it.

"Brother, why are you cooking?" Sizhui asked his Uncle. The rest of the disciples turned to Wen Ning too with questioning look. The corpse don't eat then why there's a pot of soup in it.

"He is with someone." We Wuxian answered it for him.

"Who? Where?"

"He went to the other side of the cave." Wen Ning told them while point the direction. "He's just making sure that the herbs he collected was dried enough."

Jingyi, "Did you two went here together?"

Wen Ning nodded. "We didn't hear about the goddess you mentioned but A-Yang told me that there are rare herbs here that only appear during winter season so we went to find it."

"Oh! A herbs collector." Jingyi was amazed that someone wasn't scared with Wen Ning. He wanted to clap on this person.

"Young master Wei, this person..." He glanced at the disciples hesitatingly. The juniors smiled at him.

"Senior Wen, you can say it. We already know you are a good person and shy."

If Wen Ning could just show emotion, he's definitely blushing right now.

"Don't worry. This juniors are more sensible." Wei Wuxian assured him but Wen Ning glanced at Jin Ling who was seating closer to Sizhui. "Jin Ling was matured now."

Jing Ling glared at Wei Wuxian but Sizhui just patted the Jin sect leader's hand and gave a nod to his uncle.

Wen Ning continued. "A-Yang is a year younger than Sect Leader Jin."

"Wow! Such a brave man!" A Jin disciple complimented. Thinking that if they were on this kid's shoe, they should be running already.

"I'm so amazed with this person." Another disciple commented from Lan Clan and the rest agreed to what was said.

"How did this child came with you?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"Is he that Liu kid who were with you in Chang Village?" Jin Ling asked. He still remember that asshole who spoke so sarcastically to him.

"You met Brother Ning before?"

"Mm." Jin Ling nodded. "Some elders in my clan brought me some headaches. They were there to take care of it."

Sizhui smiled at him and caressed the sect leader's hair.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence filled the place. Wei Wuxian knitted his brows while Wen Ning looked at the two with a knowing look then he turned to Wei Wuxian who shook his head and trying to hold a laugh. Jingyi was so satisfied.

"Ah Wen Ning," Wei Wuxian broke the silence. "So what about this A-Yang boy?"

"In the past, there were many Wen disciple who already disagreed with Wen Rouhan's leadership. Some who have deflected safely choose to live a normal life. A-Yang's parents are one of them."
