Return of the lotus

Evil Schemes

"-the only mistake in my brother's life was you. He had a bright future but just because he chose you it got ruined" Xichen said with a gloomy expression.

Wei Wuxian could not believe it. He was consumed in self blame so much that he didn't even notice the resentful energies swirling around him and starting to take over his senses. 'No, no, no, it can't be, it can't be true , it can't-' he kept chanting under his breath. Even though Wei Wuxian always knew that he was not good enough for Lan Wangji, the great and righteous HanguangJun getting that announced out loud and by non other than Lan Xichen, his older brother was too much. It broke his heart and shattered it into millions of pieces. He could not breathe and seemed lost in his thoughts that he failed to notice the sudden change in his surrounding.

Jin Guangyao on the other hand had some other evil plans up his sleeves. He was aware that Lan Wangji should be arriving soon so, he put his well thought plans into motion. He quickly flew past Wei Wuxian with his sword in his hand in an attempt to bury it into Lan Xichen's heart and blame Wei Wuxian so that even Lan Wangji would stand against him.

Wei Wuxian snapped back to reality when he realised his intention of killing Lan Xichen. Without wasting any time Wei Wuxian lunged forward and tried to block the attack with his bamboo flute.

The flute was not as strong as Chengqing and was no match for a spiritual sword hence couldn't block the blow completely and the flute turned into pieces but he succeeded in redirecting the aim from heart towards the less vital part of his stomach. Lan Xichen was shocked by this sudden change in scenario. The person he considered as his brother, whom he trusted with all his heart even though all the evidences were in front of him, just now tried to kill him with that same sickening amicable smile on his face and the person whom he was loathing, no-whom he loathed for more than 13 years just now saved him even after all possible insults and venom he threw towards him.

Wei Wuxian pushed Jin Guangyao away and started to pull the sword out of Lan Xichen's stomach and caught his barely conscious body before he fell to the ground. Wei Wuxian then heard silent footsteps behind him which belonged to someone he could identify without even turning around. Lan Wangji. He turned around to see Lan Wangji standing there with his eyes wide open , the maximum range he had ever seen, his right hand tightly gripping his sword, Bichen, knuckles turning white. He tried to open his mouth to say something but was harshly pushed to the ground and Lan Xichen was snatched from his grasp.

Lan Wangji was heading towards the temple where the resentful energy was growing in search of Wei Wuxian. He leaped and crossed the temple walls to enter inside but froze at the scene he was greeted with. Lan Xichen swaying on his feet with a sword in his stomach as Wei Wuxian pulled it out and caught his barely conscious older brother. His heart was beating faster and his mind was screaming, everything was chaotic yet at the same time eerily silent. He tried to run to his brother but his feet didn't move. 'Wei Ying stabbed him, his brother. Wei Ying ,the man he loved, whom he protected. No, no,he is a monster, a cruel demon'. Shock quickly turned into rage, hatred and disgust.How could have I loved such a vile person for years and mourned for him. Wei Yin- no Wei Wuxian turned to face him and he wanted nothing more than to take his brother away from him and avenge his brother. He rushed and pushed the vile demonic cultivator , yes a vile, cruel and heartless demonic cultivator just like everyone believed him to be and took his brother away from his grasp. He couldn't control his rising anger right now.
