All That You Are (Wangxian)

Chapter 25

"Jin Ling, why did you do that?" Yanli asked her son.

"He interrupted the fight," Jin Ling argued.

"So did my mother!" Yanli argued, "I was resurrected to find the entire cultivation world so corrupted! I am more sorry that I left you to my idiot brother who did not raise you properly. You know better to stab someone out of anger!"

"He stabbed Wei Wuxian before too," Nie Huaisang told her, "after finding out he was resurrected and he was not Mo Xuanyu, he got angry and stabbed him for lying to him and die killing his parents."

"I am so disappointed in you, Jin Rulan!" Yanli yelled, "the fact the you even got involved is unacceptable!" Yanli looked at Jiang Cheng and the rest of her family, "what is it that you don't understand? A'Xian has done so much for you and this is how you treat him? It is basically like you threw him back out into the streets. He gave up his golden core, was blamed for our deaths which was not his fault at all, he was betrayed by the entirety of the  cultivation world because he used a different cultivation to protect his family. The family who tossed him away and a family who took him in, died to protect him. How is that fair?"

"Yanli, everything has passed, I feel we should just move on," Jiang Fengmian said to her.

"Everything has passed? That past sits in the pit of A'Xian's stomach. He can never forget what happened, no matter what you do or say. I'm sure if his memory was erased, he will not forgive you!" Yanli yelled.

This is the most anyone has seen Jiang Yanli yell. She is normally a kind and gentle person, but she has had enough of everyone hurting her Didi.

"Everyone but Jiang Yanli, Wen Ning, and a few of the Juniors, can go home," Baoshan said and snapped her fingers sending everyone home. The others stood there waiting for instructions, "you are all loyal to my grandson and stood by him when he needed you. That is why you can stay. You can come inside."

Everyone went inside to see that Wen Qing, Lan Qiren, and Lan Xichen were also here. Along with Yanli and Wen Qing, Jingy, Sizhui, and Ouyang Zizhen, was there.

"Jie Jie," Wen Ning called for his sister.

"A'Ning," she said and hugged her brother.

"Wen Qing?" Baoshan asked, "you were the one who transferred the core?"

"I was. I did not want to but A'Ying insisted and wouldn't let it go," She said.

"Not that I hope it happens again, but would you like the proper method to a golden core transfer? I was told that you did not use anesthesia. When, in fact, you can," Baoshan told her.

"Really? I have always thrived for medical knowledge and if there are new ways or improvements, I would love to learn them," Wen Qing said happily.

"Then come with me, I have a place you might like, your brother can come along, as I noticed he has some medical skills," Baoshan said. Wen Qing followed with her brother beside her. Baoshan lead them to a room filled with medical books and scrolls, "I think you might take a liking to this room."

Wen Qing entered and her eyes lit up, "are these all medical scriptures?"

"Yes they are, make sure you rest and eat every now and then," Baoshan reminded.

Wen Qing nodded and went to the first bookshelf that was closest to her. Baoshan smiled and left them alone. Baoshan returned only to see Yanli hurt. She was destroyed after seeing her family again. She knew they were already a messed up group of people, but seeing how they are now, she was heartbroken.

"Yanli, you do not have to beat yourself up for your family," Baoshan told her, "we can't choose them after all. A'Ying speaks a lot about you. He told me you were a really nice and kind to him."

Wei Ying stepped out of his room after Lan Zhan had fallen asleep. He didn't want to leave him alone for too long, but he wanted to see the others for a moment. He heard what Baoshan had said to Yanli.

"A'Xian, I am sorry about what Jin Ling did, to you and Wangji," Yanli told him.

Wei Ying saw the tears falling and smiled at her. He went to her and sat beside her, "it is alright. Jin Ling has a lot on his mind and he is confused."

"It still doesn't give him an excuse to stab either of you," she told him.

"I missed you, Shijie," Wei Ying said pulling her into a hug, "it's been so long."

"I am here now, A'Xian," she said.

Wei Ying pulled away, "I suggest you stay out of battlefields this time though, unless you can protect yourself."

Yanli giggled a bit, "I can try to cultivate again, though I have never been good with a sword or had a desire to use it."

"There are other ways to culinary and protect yourself, we just need to find one that suits you," Wei Ying told her.

"How?" She asked.

"I have two people standing here from a prominent clan called Lan Clan, and my grandmother who helped me build a new golden core. I am sure we can find something," Wei Ying said.

"We can of course find a new way for you," Baoshan said, "but we can give you some time to think and research if you like. You can look to see what you may like and what might suit you."

Yanli nodded, "thank you," she said and looked back at Wei Ying, "so you and Lan Wangji?" She teased him.

"Shijie," Wei Ying whined.

"I remember you asking me why a person would like another," she told him, "it was him at that time was it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Wei Ying said playfully.

"Silly boy, you haven't aged much have you," Yanli teased.

"XianXian is Three," Wei Ying said childishly.

"Are you sure? Maybe a bit younger," Yanli protested, "one maybe."

"No, Three," Wei Ying played. The playfulness had others smiling, "I should go check on Lan Zhan. I don't want to leave him long."

"Alright," they said and Wei Ying went back into the bedroom with Lan Zhan.

When he walked in, Lan Zhan had just opened his eyes and was looking around. He spotted Wei Ying and sat up quickly.

Wei Ying went to him quickly and pushed him back down, "easy, Lan Zhan, your wound."

"Where did you go?" He asked.

"Just outside the room for a moment, I am here, I won't leave you, ever. My heart belongs to you," Wei Ying told him with adoration.

Lan Zhan pulled him to lay with him and he gave in. He made sure not to put pressure on or anywhere near his wound as he laid with Lan Zhan.

"Mine," Lan Zhan said.

"I am," Wei Ying agreed and gave him a kiss.
