Entropy (WANGXIAN FanFic)

Cold Cave

In the cold cave, Xichen, Qiren, and Wangji stood near Wuxian. Wangji approached him carefully and tried to speak to him again.

"Wei Ying, why are we here?" It seemed that somehow Wuxian heard him and pointed to this guqin. Wangji looked at the direction he pointed, "it is my grandmother's."

"Play inquiry," Wuxian finally spoke, but it was kind of a monotone type voice.

Wangji looked at his uncle and brother and they nodded in approval to do so. Wangji sat down in front of the guqin and did as Wuxian said. After he played the opening of inquiry, he got a response.

"Welcome, I am the only female sect leader of Gusu Lan Sect, Lan Yi," the voice said to Wangji. Wangji looked at his uncle and brother.

"Did you get in contact with someone?" Xichen asked.

Wangji nodded and stood up looking to his left. There, near an opening in the cave, stood a woman, she wore the Lan Sect robes and also had a forehead ribbon. Wangji went back to the others as the woman approached.

"Mother?" Qiren asked in a bit of shock.

"Hello Son," she greeted. The others bowed to greet her and as a sign of respect, "the other two are my nephews, correct?"

"I am the current sect leader, Lan Huan courtesy name Xichen."

"And I am his younger brother Lan Zhan, courtesy name, Wangji."

Lan Yi nodded and looked at Wuxian, "this boy?"

Qiren spoke, "he is a guest at Cloud Recesses, he was sleep walking at we followed. He is Wei Ying, Wei Wuxian, biological grandson and disciple to Baoshan Sanran."

Lan Yi looked over Wuxian in awe. Her best friends grandson was standing before her. She hasn't spoken to Baoshan in a long time and has been unwilling to speak to her because of her wrongdoings of the past.

"I am glad to see a relative to my best friend," She said, "I can sense he has special abilities. Such as control of resentful energy. He is also immortal, leave it to Baoshan to help him achieve such a status."

"Sensed resentment here," Wuxian spoke calmly still in his sleepwalking state.

Lan Yi sighed and pulled a piece of metal, "this is Yin Iron. I'll leave it to my son to explain about it later, but I can hand it over to you as well for safe keeping."

Before Qiren could put it in his spirit trapping pouch, Wuxian extended his hand and started to pull the resentment from the metal and into himself. He was cleansing the metal. After the resentment was gone the yin iron looked as if it had been polished. Wuxian then nodded to the others and they took it.

"I don't believe it," Lan Yi said, "he can actually control it. He has to be the first to master it successfully and not be corrupted by it."

The others nodded in agreement. Only a few seconds after she spoke Wuxian's eyes closed and started to fall back into his sleeping state. Wangji caught him immediately and let him lean on him.

"There are still other Yin pieces scattered around, please be careful when you go search for them. I feel that they are to be in the wrong hands and could lead to a war if not taken into action soon," Lan Yi said as her spirit started to fade, "it was a pleasure to see you all, and to you my son, you have done well and grown to be a wonderful man."

Qiren nodded, "thank you," he said. He was close to tears but held them back. As soon as Lan Yi was gone the others took a moment to process it all.

"We should get Wei Ying out of here, I don't think he can handle the cold that well," Wangji said picking him up bridal style.

"Let's go, we can discuss everything tomorrow," Xichen stated.

The three made it back to the Jingshi. There was still a good few hours before the 5 o'clock morning bell. Qiren and Xichen turned in for the night after they helped Wangji get Wuxian settle back into his bed. After his uncle and brother stepped out, Wangji wondered if Wuxian was to be okay. He took in a lot of resentful energy and collapsed moments after. It made him worry for his partner.

Wangji stood up and made his way over to the table and pulled out his guqin. He decided to try and play cleansing for a while to see if it would help in any way. Wuxian looked to be relaxing more as Wangji played. He knew he did the right thing. He will do what he can to help and protect Wei Ying to the best of his abilities.

The morning came and Wangji managed to wake at the desired time as he would normally. Though a bit tired he would be fine otherwise. He turned to Wei Ying and placed a kiss on his forehead. The kiss was soft and gentle but still caused him to wake Wuxian.

"Could you wake me like this every morning?" Wuxian said.

"Mm," Wangji nodded and placed a kiss on his lovers cheek.

"Lan Zhan, so much love coming from you so early," Wuxian said, "I love it but is something wrong? You seem worried."

"We can discuss more on it later but you were sleepwalking last night," Wangji said.

Wuxian sat up and felt a bit of guilt take over, "I am sorry Lan Zhan."

"Don't be, you could not help it," Wangji assured him, "Brother and Uncle know and want the four of us to sit and talk later today."

"Okay," Wuxian agreed.

"I accidentally spilled about you being immortal," Wangji said.

Wuxian could see the guilt on his soulmate's face. It was Qiren and Xichen who he told and knows he can trust them to keep it a secret.

"It is okay Lan Zhan, it is your uncle and brother, I believe they will keep it safe from others knowing."

"Uncle knows you can control resentful energy," Wangji said, "he saw you controlling it last night."

Wuxian sighed. Out of all people, Lan Qiren was someone who he worried about finding out. He knows the old man's views on demonic cultivation and resentful energy. He just hopes Qiren will let him explain things.

"I guess he was bound to know a some point," Wuxian stated, "I am your soulmate after all, and that is also something he should know but I'm not sure if now is the time because of the things that are happening now."

"We will soon," Wangji said, "we should get moving so we can go for breakfast. Uncle and Xiongzhang wanted to meet with us after breakfast as it will probably be a long day for us all."

Wuxian nodded and got out of bed. He let Lan Zhan bathe first and then he took one afterwards. After they dressed, they grabbed their weapons and made their way to the dining hall.
