        "Seems as if I won't be able to make it out alive by the end of this month. I don't have much time left so I better hurry up."
        Wei Wuxian took out a talisman, wrote something on it and watched it burning to ashes. He heaved a sigh of relief. It would be better if everything ends sooner.

        It is been two weeks since Lan Wangji's golden core was restored. He was now in Qinghe with his brother. Xue Yang had helped him escape. Never once in his life he had been so grateful for anyone. And he will always be.
           Lan Wangji had said everything to his brother. Everything that had happened since he was captured and until he escaped. When he had mentioned about Wei Wuxian, his brother had clenching his teeth and had said,
         "We should have killed him along with his mother."
        If Lan Xichen had said this before, Lan Wangji would have fought with his brother for saying such things. But now, he whole heartedly agreed. His brother was true. If they had killed Wei Wuxian along with his mother, they would have been able to bring Wen Rouhan down sooner.

        Lan Wangji was meditating when someone came into his room which was given by the Nie's.
       "Second Master Lan."
Lan Wangji opened his eyes, stood up and acknowledged,
       "What brings you here?"
       "Well, I just came to inquire about your well being." Meng Yao replied.
      "I am doing well. Thanks for your concern."
      "It's good to hear. Your brother was worried for you the whole time you were gone. He couldn't eat and rest well. I am glad that you was able to return."
       "Mn. And thanks a lot for taking for him for the past few days."
       "Oh. You don't have to thank. It's my pleasure."
        "Mn."
        After a small talk with Lan Wangji, Meng Yao came out. He stood at the doorway and smirked.
       "Let's see for how long you can be alive."

         Wei Wuxian didn't understand. He didn't understand anything. He felt that there was something he was missing.
        "Who would it be? Madam Lan do not have any enemies. So who would place a curse on her. And why would they do it? What is the use of it?
         They must be someone from Lan clan. If not, how would they know that I transferred the curse onto me. They must have been watching Madam Lan closely. So close that they understood that Madam Lan was no longer cursed. And so they put up another plan and killed Madam Lan. Killing Madam Lan was their ulterior motive. But why would they put the blame on my mother. Was it just because they needed a scapegoat or for some other reasons? They came up with such a good plan so of course it is not one person. Their must be  someone who is helping him. Who could it be? And they must be one of the Lans."
          Wei Wuxian racked his brain for an answer. After a very long time he was able to come up with a person. But he was still under suspicion. Yet he thought of investigating.

        "Brother, did you call me?" Xue Yang asked.
        "Yes. I want to you to investigate someone for me."
        "Who is it?"
       Wei Wuxian placed a paper with the name and his face drawn on it.
        "He?" Xue Yang asked confused.
        "Yes."
         "Why him of all the people? He is up to no use."
         "Do what I say. You will know the rest later. And this must be done in secret. Got it?"
         "Yeah yeah.... I know."
         "How is he?" Wei Wuxian asked next.
        Xue Yang didn't need any further explanation because he knew very well that his brother will only ask about a particular person.
        "He is doing good." Xue Yang answered in a way that he doesn't care. And of course, it was true. He doesn't really care if that certain person is doing good or otherwise.
        "I know he is doing good. But I want to know exactly of how he is doing good."
       "Answering to General Wei," Xue Yang said, teeths clenched, "Lan Wangji is doing very well. He wakes up at five in the morning and rests at nine at night. He takes his food on time. He spends the morning in meetings of how to take down the Wen's and spends the evening with his brother. He even have some occasional talks with Nie Huaisang and Meng Yao. Is this enough or should I continue?"
       Wei Wuxian knew that his brother was angry so he began,
       "A-yang, I know that you are...."
       "Stop it!" Xue Yang said. "You don't have to say anything. I clearly know what you are going to say and I am tired of hearing it. I don't care if he is the love of your life or any other...."
           Xue Yang tried to control his rage. "Ge, is Lan Wangji the only human that you care about? What about me? Do you no longer care for your Didi?"
         Xue Yang couldn't stop his tears.
       "I don't have parents. I don't even know who are they. I thought I will never have a family. But everything changed the moment our mother took me in. She did not only give me a mother that I yearned for but everything that I could ask for. She gave me a brother who held me tight when I cried at night. She gave me a brother who fed me when I couldn't eat myself due to many reasons. She gave me a brother who stood beside me everytime I did a mistake. She gave me a brother who made me laugh through my tears. She gave me a brother who was scared of nothing but dogs and would jump on me everytime he sees one. Above all, she gave me a brother who loved me like no one else did. And when I finally tan out of things to ask her, she left me. Left me all alone with my brother.
        And when I finally could bring myself together thinking that I still had a brother, my brother had already planned his death. He had not only planned his death but also had advanced it. How do you think that I can take this or how on the earth could you think that I could take this?" Xue Yang barked.
         
        Wei Wuxian too couldn't cease his tears any longer. He felt so sorry towards his brother but what could he do?
       "A-yang, I am sorry. Extremely sorry."
      "Ge, you are late. Your sorry cannot undo anything. Not even your death."
       Those words stabbed Wei Wuxian deep. Unfortunately, before he could even say anything,
         "General Wei, Sect leader Wen requests your presence in the main hall."
      "I will be there in a few minutes."
        Wei Wuxian turned towards his brother, gave him a nod, wiped his face, turned his expectations into that of a General Wei and off he went.

       "Sect leader Wen, what did you call me for?"
      "Wen Xu is killed."
      "Oh."
      "Wei Wuxian, do you even understand what I am saying?"
      "Of course, I do. Death is inevitable. It is just that your son died a little younger."
      Wen Rouhan clenched his fists.
     "We cannot wait any longer. We have to fight back."
      "Hahahaaaha... Since when did you actually wait? I didn't see it. Well, anyway, I too think that we cannot wait."
      "Mm. When do we attack?"
      "When they attack us."
        With that Wei Wuxian left. He didn't want to speak any more.
      
        Wei Wuxian came to his room, took a talisman and wrote something on it. He was glad when it burned.
    
       Nie Mingju who was conducting a meeting with all the sect leaders said,
        "We will attack Qishan tomorrow. Time is running and many innocent people are dying. Please prepare yourselves."
         When everyone had left the hall, Lan Xichen asked,
         "Dage, do you have any informant in Qishan?"
        "Xichen, I indeed have. But I am sorry because I cannot tell you who it is."
        "I understand. I hope he is trustworthy."
        "He is." Nie Mingju affirmed.

        Wei Wuxian took out the amulet that he had kept hidden within himself for all these days.
      
       "A-yang thinks that I can make it out atleast until the end of this month. But I am not at all sure if I would be alive after using this."
