Lan Zhan arrived at his house but his heart was feeling an empty piece, he went to the pond to see the Lianhua (lotus) the flowers are blooming as it was spring but his heart feels empty with no presence by a certain person, he was used to being alone for years but his heart does feel empty and sad at the moment, he doesn't know why he can't remember anything but he was indeed feeling a bit different when he left that place with cherry blossoms, he calmed his mind by meditating.
Soon he got lost in thought and his power backfired causing him to spat out blood, he wiped of the blood on his face using a handkerchief but once he saw the handkerchief he wondered why there was an embroidered word on it. The word reads WANG XIAN, his eyes seems to have seen a flash of memories but it was as quick as thunder not catching any clear images, soon he passed out...
Lan Zhan woke up and he went to a certain room, the room has words on the wall it locates some places that he never heard of but finds it familiar somehow. Soon he received a visitor the name was Zhou Zi Shu the General of Wei Dynasty, right now he doesn't have any battles to attend to as war has ended, Zhou Zi Shu visited Lan Zhan to invite him in the court.
Lan Zhan welcomed the rare guest and offered tea, but as the common folks says, Zhou Zi Shu is an ice cube, comparable to Lan Wangji they both speak with few words without going around the bush.
Lan Zhan offered tea and Zhou Zi Shu drank, as Lan Zhan asked his reason for coming he answered, "The Emperor's Secretary just died, I would like to invite you to be the new Secretary, how is it?"
Lan Zhan just said, "Lord Zhou should know, although I am not a commoner I don't want to get involved in the court. So if hope you won't speak of this again"
Zhou Zi Shu expected his answer but looking at the house so quiet he spoke up, "Why is your house so quiet? Where's the well-known troublemaker staying here?" He didn't know the loss of memory thus brought up this topic.
Lan Zhan, "I don't know what Lord Zhou is talking about, there was never a man staying at my house" Lan Zhan who doesn't know why the cold Lord Zhou will say such things just refuted him.
Zhou Zi Shu realized what happened thus he stood up and drank the remaining tea, "I see, but since I'm here I won't miss having a duel with you, Young Master Lan"
He drew out his sword, Baiyi and the fight began they both didn't do their best so as to not injure each other thus no one won the fight.
Lan Zhan sheathed his Bichen, "Lord Zhou, it's getting late. I'll see you off" He gestured his hand on the way to the front door.
Zhou Zi Shu went with Lan Zhan leading the way he left, as it was getting dark, Lan Zhan wants to prepare dinner for himself as he went to the kitchen he looked for things he needs but he saw something unusual on the kitchen, chili.
Lan Zhan never ate something spicy because he doesn't like spicy foods, he remembered Zhou Zi Shu's words, "Why is your house so quiet? Where's the well-known troublemaker staying here?" As the words repeated on his mind he brushed it off by throwing it away in the fire, soon he made noodles and ate by himself, he seems to have placed another bowl across him on the table. Not knowing why and there isn't anyone in the house, he indeed finds it quite weird but ignored it for the third time.
After having dinner he took a bath, he found another set of clothes on his closet and those clothes doesn't belong to him, this time he kept it there and just got dressed and went to bed.
Beads of sweat fell on the pillow and the bed, Lan Zhan was clenching the blanket and his face shows signs of worry, and trouble, inside the nightmare was a man.
In the dream the man was like a ghost, his face covered in a mask, he asks, "Why did you forget me? I am willing to sacrifice my life for you, but you failed me! Why?! WHY?!?!?!!" A long scream was heard inside the room, the nightmare has been haunting him for 3 years since he met the man who asked him if he still has a place in his heart.
Once again at 3AM where the sun hasn't risen yet Lan Zhan did his daily routine as he always do, take a bath and cook, clean the house and train, but in the pat 3 years he didn't make any progress with hi troubled mind, thus he decides to create another version of himself and travel the world to look for that man.
He packed up some things that he would need, but he just packed some clothes and money, he took a sword but it wasn't Bichen, it was CHENQING, he himself just finds the sword familiar and uses it. With a veil on his head and a black horse he travels to the place where he first met that man...
In a place where nobody knows a man stay there he was just sitting on a chair that was covered in black with golden marks soon a person wearing all black came in he reported something to that same man.
The man stood up as he said, "Lan Wangji, Lan Wangji... After 3 years you finally went out of that stupid house, if that house doesn't have his protection. How would you still be alive this time!" An evil laughter echoed around the room as the guards smiled and awaited for the lord's order. The group was called Demon Ghosts, their leader the Ghost Leader, never shows his face even his most trusted subordinate A Fu has never seen his face, you can call him the most mysterious leader of a mysterious organization.
Lan Zhan spent 2 days and finally arrived at that place, he called out for someone but apart from the cherry blossom trees that doesn't have flowers, soon he noticed a house from a distance he walked and walked until he reached the house but still no signs of life, webs are everywhere and it was as dusty, no one was taking care of the place. One of the rooms was locked by something that couldn't be opened by his sword, he tried everything he can until he was exhausted, he was one of the 3 most powerful heroes in the kingdom but he couldn't open a lock with black marks on it it didn't rust but nothing could open the lock, he gave up and left that place. At the entrance he saw a carving, YINHUA the word reads yinhua meaning cherry blossoms, soon he saw an image while looking at the distance.
The cherry blossoms had flowers on them and a person with a veil was practicing her swordsmanship, the person's moves was light but if she applied more strength that same swordsmanship could kill. Soon the sword was placed on the scabbard as she smiled to the direction of Lan Zhan underneath the veil. Soon it disappeared to thin air and Lan Zhan felt his cheeks wet not even knowing that he cried, wiping his tears he touched the words again and left with his black horse looking for a destination to look for that person.
He remembered the handkerchief that he has with WangXian on it, he thought if the Wang came from his WANGJI then the XIAN should come from the other person, perhaps he should use this clue to find that person, he went to the nearest town and rested at a tavern to set off tomorrow.
