Together

14. Injured

"Saving the weak and the poor?" Jiang Cheng asked. "Why do you care more about others than your own family?" Hearing this, Wei Wuxian retorted back. "Why do you only care about your own family and not others? Need I remind you that one day you will become Clan Leader? With this attitude of yours, the Yunmeng Jiang Clan won't exist anymore." "Wei Ying, it's true I'm going to become the Clan Leader. But, I don't need to worry about it now. Father is looking after it." "Are you being serious Jiang Cheng? You need to start from now. You can't get it in a day." Wei Wuxian said angrily.

As they started talking, Wei Wuxian noticed Lan Wangji leave them and suddenly felt empty. He wanted Lan Wangji to be with him for a longer while. However, a snarky voice snapped him back to reality. "Of course Young Master Jiang, you need to learn a lot from your fiancée. You're so disgusting! The only thing that is keeping me from hurting you in any way is my engagement with your stupid sister." Hearing this, both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng saw red. "Don't you dare call my sister stupid you spoiled arrogant brat." Jiang Cheng growled. The boy however smirked at Wei Wuxian, while looking at him in disbelief. 

"Young Master Wei, you really get me by surprise. Can you please tell me your secret of tolerating Young Master Jiang? And here I heard that Young Master Jiang is worse than Lady Jiang herself. And I'm not able to tolerate her only. Just how do you tolerate him?" The boy asked Wei Wuxian in awe. "Jin Zixuan! Watch your language!" Jiang Cheng shouted. The boy, Jin Zixuan ignored Jiang Cheng's threat and continued looking at Wei Wuxian. "Young Master Wei, can you please tell me?" he asked the boy in black.

Wei Wuxian clenched his fists so tight that he nearly drew blood from his palm. His shijie was the best in the world. Although after coming to Lotus Pier he was treated kindly by everyone, his shijie was the kindest. Insulting her in front of him was just like insulting his mother. Jiang Cheng lost his cool at Jin Zixuan's words and punched him on the face.

Wei Wuxian was shocked with Jiang Cheng's sudden movement, for he never expected him to punch Jin Zixuan. "Jiang Cheng stop!" Wei Wuxian said hurriedly as he grabbed his shoulder. Prior to coming to Cloud Recess, he promised Uncle Jiang and Aunty Yu to take care of Jiang Cheng and make sure he never gets into any trouble. However, Jiang Cheng pulled himself away from Wei Wuxian and continued fighting with Jin Zixuan.

"Jiang Cheng, please stop!" Wei Wuxian said again as he desperately tried to pull his friend away from Jin Zixuan. However, Jiang Cheng who was already annoyed with Jin Zixuan got even more annoyed with Wei Wuxian trying to pull him away. Hence, Jiang Cheng pushed Wei Wuxian away rather fiercely, only to hear a painful scream and make himself regret his actions.

Wei Wuxian struggled to pull Jiang Cheng away from the peacock. However, Jiang Cheng angrily pushed him away, making Wei Wuxian stumble and fall down. As he fell down, Wei Wuxian's head banged against the stone floor of the mountain and started bleeding. Wei Wuxian screamed in pain and soon lost consciousness.

Lan Wangji, who noticed the whole fight, wasn't able to do anything, for he didn't even know what they were talking about. He was afraid that if he were to interfere, he would just add fuel to the fire. Also, with his poor communication skills, he would definitely make things worse. However, once he saw Wei Wuxian fall down and get hurt, Lan Wangji widened his eyes and raced towards him, disregarding the rules.

Jin Zixuan instantly stopped fighting when he heard a scream and looked down. To his shock and horror, Wei Wuxian was lying on the ground with his head bleeding badly. The Second Young Master raced towards them and held Wei Wuxian in his arms.

Lan Wangji was lying down, next to Wei Wuxian and took him into his arms. His head was injured terribly and bleeding profusely. His heart ached at the sight in front of him. Wei Wuxian lay unconscious in his arms, breathing heavily, with half of his face covered with blood. His pain, however, soon turned to anger as he glared at the two boys in front of him. How dare they hurt Wei Ying like this?! Not to mention, they even broke the rules! The boys shivered with the look on Lan Wangji's face. Lan Wangji picked up Wei Wuxian in his arms in bridal style and carried him to the infirmary, disregarding the fact that there were people watching or that his clothes would get dirty.
