TOO LATE {EDITED VERSION}

Chapter 4

A few minutes passed by and a blue sound wave containing strong powers was mid-air, it was nobody else but Hangguang-Jun and his guqin. Mo Xuan Yu needn't confirm who that person is, but he still sneaks a glance at his beloved—wondering how he is.

His almond-shaped face and his thin lips... It looks like he didn't get older in about two decades, still as handsome and cold. Mo Xuan Yu runs off to his room, he still isn't ready to face him. 

"MASTER!" Sizhui calls out as others place their hands in front of themselves greeting the elder respectfully, "Hangguang-Jun"

Soon he heard a comment that pierced his ears, "Of course, Sizhui is Hangguang-Jun's only descendant after all." 

Descendant... He halted in his steps... He recalls them speaking earlier, "Sizhui is Hangguang-Jun's disciple" 

He thought about that which made him feel assured but his mind was still in a mess, he resumed his steps and accidentally crushed a twig. That sound reached the ears of the others as he sprinted fast while Lan Zhan chased him. 

{LWJ POV}

When I reached, I only caught a glimpse of his shadow, I asked myself, "Wei Ying, is it really you?" Once he got back to the team Sizhui asks, "Mo gongzi, where is he?" 

My attention was locked on that Mo gongzi, "Mo gongzi? Who is he?" I can't help but ask. 

Jingyi replies, "Mo Xuanyu? He's just a madman, why bother to care about him?" 

Just before he can laugh,  energy fluctuation flew right at him, Jingyi was fortunate to avoid it and only lost a couple of strands of hair, it's much better than losing his own life. "Lan Jingyi, have you been outside for long that you forgot the Lan Family Rules!?" 

Everyone including Sizhui knelt, "We're in the wrong! Hangguang-Jun, please punish us!" 

"What rule did you defy?" Asks Lan Zhan, he himself doesn't know why he is angry this much but they did break a rule. 

"Everyone is equal, don't look down upon others."

{WWX POV}

Was I that scared to see him? The more I had the urge to see him the more I want to hide from him, besides... Son? Sizhui? Yearning? Longing? How old is he? 19? 20? 21? Anyways who's he longing for? 

Just the thought of it makes me mad. But it isn't wholly impossible either, inside my head I can imagine Lan Wangji the infamous Hanggaung-Jun and a lady from a prestigious clan beside him. What a perfect couple would that be... 

I don't even know where I am heading right now, my blind is black and I don't know where to go. Home... Jiang Cheng won't possibly accept me at Lotus Pier, his hatred for me has reached the point that it won't be dissolved even if I die a million times. 

I wander off my mind to Lan Zhan again, damned time, how could it pass by so quickly that it has been 16 years? all these years yearning for him but I could do nothing... What else have I brought to him other than suffering and pain? He went against his sect for me, he got punished... 

I guess it's expected that he gives up. No matter how hard I try to liven up my mood the scar will never disappear. I went across cultivators that came from a small clan. 

They talked about going to Buddha's Feet. Out of curiosity about the monster that eats souls around the area. I set my destination there. On the way, I encountered some traps, but of course, I am the legendary Yilling Laozu how could I not avoid such lame tricks? 

A bed of grass covering a hole? A hunter's trick, I threw a stone on the grass bed, and it immediately fell into the hole, but after that, a glowing net caught both the bed of grass and the rock I threw.
