The awakening of bestotted love

Enlightenment 1

The trio had left the village after staying for some few days. They started to take their journey again. Since then 4 seasons passed and not only did they did physical stronger but they also became emotionally stronger.

The bond between the the three had taken a big leap after Wei Ying ying and Lan Zhan had disclosed their identity to Xiao Lie. Both Wei Ying and Lan Zhan had grown into young adults too. They no longer had those chubby baby fat anymore. Wei Ying would complain sometimes that he missed those chubby cheeks of Lan Zhan.

Xiao Lie had also shown interest to become a cultivator and therefore had been taught by Lan Zhan. Even though the best age for core formation had already been gone but Xiao Lei never gave up. Finally after months of persistent hardwork, he had finally formed a mediocre core. The day he had formed a core the trio had celebrated all day. After all who can say that they can form a core after being an adult but Xiao Lie had successfully done that.

These years they had traveled across vast lands. Some of which were ruled by religious heads whereas others had a united front. In these places cultivators no longer had any influence so they roamed freely without the fear of being caught.

Not only did these countries have extraordinary scenarios but their cultures and customs also enhanced their beauty. The most memorable one for Wei Ying would be his prayer with Lan Zhan to the God of A country. It was a religious country and prayers there held deep meaning. Only spouse and family could lit incence together as it showed their pure bond of love, trust and selflessness to the one above all.

For Lan Zhan it was when Wei Ying had performed the mate dance of M country.It was a country where mates or better known as spouse held great meaning. Mates to them were sacred union bound together by destiny and mate dance showed devotion and happiness till the end. Lan Zhan would never forget how enchanting Wei Ying had looked while he had danced. It would forever be an irreplaceable memory to him.

Though Xiao Lei would never admit it but he had cried a little when Wei Ying had dragged him to lit incence together in Country A. He remembers Wei Ying laughing saying, " After so long Lei-ge still hasn't considered us as family.... I'm sad Lan Zhan, console me." He he had proceeded to peek at Xiao Lie from behind  Lan Zhan's shoulders. It was a cute sight.

And if you asked where they are going now then it would be the country named Tao. It was a country ruled by royalty but there were no major fights between the nobles and commoners. It was a peaceful country. The ancestors of the country believed in the heavenly Tao and this belief had been passed down generation after generation. Therefore it was a simple but prosperous nation.

Wei Ying had been very interested when he heard about Taoism. It was very much similar to the Lan clan in terms of philosophy so he was really excited to visit the Taoist temple. Plus he wanted to gain some insight on the topic of balance and coexistence. Afterall these past few years, keeping his qi in check was getting harder and harder.

After a day worth of climbing, they reached the doors of the temple. The temple was simple and plain but it gave off a majestic vibe. When the three entered from the door, a Taoist saw them. The Taoist went towards them and smiled ," Are the young masters here for a lecture or shelter?"

"We were think of staying here for a few days for some lectures. Will it cause any problems?" Wei Ying inquired.

"Not at all. The Huang's(some random noble family)have already left so there is not shortage of lodging. Do you want to go the room first or listen to the afternoon chant?"

Wei Ying thought for a while and chose to go to the rooms. They were tired and they wanted to freshen up. The Taoist then took them to an isolated location and pointed towards a hall. "You can choose any rooms in the hall. If you want to take a bath then there is a well beside the hall. There is a small room near the well, you can boil water there."

The three thanked the Taoist and then went to freshen up. By the time they had finished bathing it was already time for dinner. The same Taoist had brought them dinner. You could say that the food was a little more extravagant compared to the Lan dinner.

Xiao Lei had excused himself after eating. Lan Zhan and Wei Ying too had gone to the room for nighttime. The room was simple with one bed and blanket. As soon as Lan Zhan had gotten in, he was attacked by Wei Ying's hugs. With his head on Lan Zhan's chest he then started to talk his past life adventures.

Lan Zhan loved to listen such stories. It made him know about the Wei Ying that was not with him. He could clearly imagine a teenage version of his lover racing with his fellow disciples, laughing with joy. He saw him seriously teach sword play to his shidis and radiate happiness when they praised his archery. He saw it all and it filled Lan Zhan's heart with warmth.

And when Wei Ying had seen Lan Zhan's interest in his little talks, he had started to do them ever night before sleeping. It was like a everyday routine now. Today he was telling Lan Zhan about how he had gotten caught stealing lotus pods. And by the time he had finished talking about his punishment, Lan Zhan's inbuilt alarm had reminded them about the time.

Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying closer and gave a light kiss to Wei Ying. Both then closed their eyes and slept for the night.
