Mo Dao Zu Shi Stories

Meeting between all three legends part 3

Wei Wuxian consoles his husband and switches positions with him. He decides to sit up tall as Wangji rests his head in his lap. He brushes the strands of his hair away from his eyes and smiles gently.

"Such hardship..." Shen Qingqiu says with a shake of his head.

"Perhaps, however I still played a part in it all. I've since abandoned the idea that I could run from my mistakes of the past. I learned from them and let go, but I can never forget how I had been wrong all along,"

"I see...."

"Yes, my mistakes caused lives to be lost...even if not directly caused by me...and some...were really hurt....my brother...and Lan Zhan and A-Yuan. But...it wasn't until after I was revived that Lan Zhan.. I realized really suffered the most...."

"What do you mean...?"

Wei Wuxian stares down at Wangji and sadly smiles.

"Lan Zhan tried to protect me during the siege, and...his sect punished him for it. For me...he took thirty three whip lashes....and stayed in seclusion for several years..."

"What?!"

All eyes fall to Wangji who as staring up at Wei Wuxian, his thumb stroke one of his hands that he had grabbed onto. For a moment they were silent, but out of shock and respect for this man who stood by his side through it all no matter what. He never pushed away, and instead tried to keep him close. And once revived he stayed with him. Truthfully, someone they all could respect greatly.

"Lan Zhan is everything to me. My home. My love. My life. And my savior..." he says quietly with a smile that stared fondly at Lan Wangji who was blushing at his ears, but inside was bursting with joy at his words.

"That's so sweet.." Xie Lian says with a smile as he looks to Hua Cheng. "I understand that feeling well..."

"Right...your highness I'd like to hear your story as well," Wei Wuxian says.

"Oh mine..?" He looks to Hua Cheng who shrugs.

"It's up to you Gege..."

For a moment Xie Lian thought about it, but while he was lost in his thoughts a sudden knock on the door sounded outside the room. They all look to each other.

"Come in!" Wei Wuxian shouts.

The door slides open as Xichen, Jiang Cheng, Mu Qing and Feng Xin stood there before them. And behind them was another man in bright clothes and a steen expression on his face.

"L...Liu-shidi...?" Shen Qingqiu says bewildered. "How are you here?"

"More like how are you careless to leave a portal open in the middle of our home?" The man says glaring toward Luo Binghe who was glaring right back at him.

"If you're here to pick a fight then forget it," he says abruptly.

"Hello your highness, And Hua Cheng," Xichen says with a smile as he greets them.

"Ah h..hello...but why are you all here?"

"Your highness, we were alerted of a sudden rift being opened up, and came to check it out and to close it. If possible. As it stands only the original creator of it can truly close it. So for the time being it's being guarded so as nothing else comes through. The gentleman over here has his own men guarding the otherside," Feng Xin says.

"Who would be so stupid to leave a hole open like that?"

Luo Binghe sulks a bit and turns to his master for comfort.

Shen Qingqiu feels a headache brewing as he closes his eyes and pats his head.

"It was an honest mistake. We can handle that later."
