"Xichen!!! Even with this information, no matter how good they're we can't simply follow them if you won't tell us who or where you get them from!!" the loud and commanding voice of Nei Mingjue rang across the strategy room of the Unclean realm in Qinghe.

"Mingjue, you know if I tell the informant's life may be in danger... please just trust me on this and use this information" the calm and clear voice of the young Lan clan leader came across a far cry from the earlier voice in the room.

"Haaaaa, fine... let's see just how good this information will be in our next mission," the bigger man said rubbing his tired eyes, while his closest friend smiled at him as they both slowly drank the lukewarm tea in front of them.

"Yes!!! Yes!! A very good idea, sect leader Nei... who do you have in mind to send for this mission? Perhaps Hanguang-Jun?? or that Wei Wuxian??" Jin Guangshan's voice rang across the room making three young leaders of the room feel as if someone is scraping a piece of metal. While clan leaders like Yao, Qin, and Ouyang nod their heads like loyal followers.

The atmosphere across the room suddenly tensed as it's well known the man would rather have others fight than his own men while his OWN SON was using his personal guard to help. The same son that was sadly sitting next to his father looking like he wishes to die than be there. Tightening their fits under their robes the three young leaders looked at the man as he sat in the WAR ROOM with a young woman dressed almost barely feeding him grapes and pouring him wine. This is was one of the rare visits the "elder leader" made to see how the "junior, new leaders" were doing and frankly all would rather have the man far away as possible but a courtesy call is necessary as the vile man was the only one to have the needed funds for the "SunShot campaign"

"Unfortunately, currently Wei Wuxian, my BROTHER isn't available and neither is Lan Wangji. I'm well aware as we all are the two were sent for a mission and will only be returning today evening. Won't it be unfair to send them out again right after they return and not have a proper rest?" the new sect leader of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan spoke. Even if the young man was new to his role, his strong cultivation and skills and his mark on the room were well to speak up to senior leaders.

Even if he may not hold high care towards Lan Wangji, he knew well no one can fight straight without any rest no matter how much strong their cultivation is.

"That may be so but as it was Wei Wuxian that killed Wen Chao, I think such a mission would be something he would be able to do easily. You can always rest once your job is done..." the vile man spoke only to be silenced when Nei Mingjue spoke up

"If that's so them, why don't you send some of your men on the mission, if the mission is easy surely the mighty Jin clan should be able to hold it, right?" the leader of the SunShot campaign spoke up.

"Well, if I do send my men who will guard my clan?? My men will be far from my clan and if I'm under attack how will they help?" the man spoke again.

Smiling as his woman feed him another fruit and massaged his shoulders. Making many leaders and other members present wish to claw their eyes out at the sight.

"Right.... As if we haven't sent our men far" Jiang Chang thought as he twirled Zidian on his finger.

"let's take a short break and meet up soon" the calm voice of Lan Xichen spread across the room and soon many leaders left fast without running.

Shaking his head and after bowing to the elders of the room Jiang Cheng walked out to see his brother back and smiling with his sister.

"WEI WUXIAN!!! WHEN DID YOU ARRIVE???" the young leader yelled as he walked up to his older brother in his black, red robes.

The said man looked up from his conversation and soon a smile spread on his face as his little brother came to them.

"Jiang Cheng!! Your back! I take it the meeting went well or did you all have a break to escape sect leader Jin?" the other man asked teasingly

"Why does it matter to you? How the meeting go? Why the hell did you not tell me you're back? How did the scout go? Any news?" the young leader asked

"Nothing much... we did meet some Wens otherwise nothing much, Lan Zhan went to give the report to his brother. I came to see Shijie and you're in luck cuz she just brought this delicious soup" Wei Wuxian said as he began to drink the steaming hot almost inhumanly red soup with ease.

"Who said I'm going to let you eat all!! Hey, move!! I need to eat too!" he said as he pushed his brother out of his chair stealing it, not noticing his hurt face that soon was replaced with his smiling one.

Shaking his head, he sat across Jiang Cheng and began eating his soup while their sister shacks her head at her brothers.

"Sect leader!!! Sect leader!! They're beginning the meeting again. Young master Wei and lady Jiang are also invited" the young messenger spoke and dashed.

"Aaaaaa... why should I come?? I don't even like it in there" the young man in black robes said making a face as if he ate a lemon

"If I go inside, I'll see Lan Zhan again... I don't want that!! Hmmm why can't I stay out? But it's Lan Zhan.... So maybe... hmmm Lan Zhan! What are you doing to me??" the man thought whining but standing up to follow his brother and sister.
