Journey to the Beautiful Ending

C28 - Grief

Again, I know you already read some parts of it in the chapter "The third piece part 2" of "Travel to the Past". I added some narrations that wasn't there. Its okay if you skip once you were there but it would be great if you read it again until the last sentence since I added some fee narrations and change some.. I hope I could make you cry.

Anyway, thank you for still reading it. I'm almost losing active readers already. Maybe because the story no longer interest them but that's okay. I'm still going to continue writing it because of you who is still reading and commenting. I hope I still have you until the ending. We still have like 5-7 chapters left. Not sure.

Again, thank you very much 🥰  For my silent readers, thank you too.

The group of cultivators was able to escaped the mountain. Jiang Cheng who found out about Jin Ling's coming to Baling, he immediately took his disciples and rushed towards the Luoxuan mountain. However, when they arrived, there are already running and flying away from the mountain. They were all shouting not to enter the said place as it was dangerous.

Jiang Cheng wanted to go in but he was stopped by multiple disciples. He was so worried of his nephew, he's about to whipped them with his zidian when he saw Jin Ling coming out of the mountain. Beside him was Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian who was carrying a body. Based on the uniform, it was obviously a Lan disciple. But to his surprised, Jin Ling was wailing and calling his lover's name.

Wei Wuxian stopped walking. There's redness in his eyes as he lowered the lifeless body he was holding. When he did, there Jiang Cheng saw the bloody red stain on the half body of the Lan Sect heir, Lan Sizhui. It was there that he realized the reason for his nephew's crying, his lover was dead.

Jingyi knelt down when he saw what had happened to his friend. His body was shaking. He tried to reach for his hands and when he touched him, he couldn't feel any pulse. He shook his head. He doesn't want to believe. His friend was still alive. He sobs saying, "Sizhui, wake up. I know you already know how to joke but you cannot joke like this! Wake up!"

"Jingyi." Wei Wuxian patted his shoulder and shook his head. "He's gone."

Jingyi continued to shake his head.
Sizhui, was this it? Is this the reason for what you told me yesterday. You are grateful, you say I have nothing to do with your decisions. You told me not to blame myself if you decided tp do something. Who are you trying to fool? I even joked if you're trying to say goodbye but how could you literally say goodbye! Did you feel like this was going to happen? Why did you let it happen?"

The disciples was crying too and one Lan disciple told, "Last night, he was a little caring too. He even asked us to behave and listen to you."

It was like Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji was struck by lightning. Their son just expressed how grateful he was to them last night.

"Senior Wei, why? Why all of our worries have come to this? I had a nightmare that he will die. You did too. B-But we didn't anything."

"Nightmare?" Jiang Cheng remembered something. "When you leave after the discussion conference, Jin Ling saw his lover died too."

Wei Wuxian was too shock to hear those. Then he remembered what the old lady they met once on their travel back to Gusu. "W-What? What could be the happiness that...that the old lady was referring to my son's dying? A-Yuan, does your life worth something we would know soon?" Wei Wuxian no longer hold his tears back. "Nothing is more important than your life. I-It should be me. Not you."

"Wei Ying." Lan Zhan reacted from what he said. Losing their son's life infront of them was too much to take. It happened so fast. It hadn't even sank in their minds that Sizhui was really gone.
