When Lan Zhan and his clan took the toddler in, A-Yuan was treated as one of their own. Their cultivation method, their meals, everything that they did was taught to this precious child. Even their surname was given to A-Yuan. Of course the surname came with the name Sizhui to cover any remnants of the child's Wen origins.
The child often attached himself to Lan Zhan watching as he meditated and focused on his cultivation. The straight and stone cold demeanor he always had was a comfort to A-Yuan, it was all he knew as the memories of Yiling drifted away eventually forgotten. All the times A-Yuan was buried like a radish, his uncles and aunts, all memories that took place in Yiling were all long lost. Only the Cloud Recesses' teachings remained, a quiet, but beautiful place following in the footsteps of the one who took him in as he grew older.
Though the days grew old Lan Zhan mourned everyday, hoping for a tiny sliver of hope that Wei Ying would in some way be alive, he would play the lonely tune of Inquiry at the edge of the water for years on end, yet still no answer as to where Wei Ying was.
Was he a vengeful spirit, a ghost, a corpse, a monster of some sort, what would become of the deceased cultivator he once loved?
Will he ever confess his feelings to the long dead Wei Ying?
