Who You Are Book 2

Chapter 59 - Can't Forget

"There you both are," Lan Xichen said, "you two have yet to eat right?"

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji nodded, "sorry we took so long," Lan Wangji said.

"Been busy?" Baoshan asked with a grin.

"What do you know?" Wei Wuxian asked sitting down and smirked at Lan Wangji, "Lan Zhan didn't want to stop meditating. How can I deny him that?"

"Is that it?" Lan Xichen asked.

"You know Lan Zhan, has to get his hour of medication in every morning," Wei Wuxian stated still smirking.

Lan Wangji sat down beside Wei Wuxian, "are you done?" He asked, "it was you who took so long to get up out of bed."

"Now that is more believable," Jiang Cheng stated.

"Who knows, Wei Wuxian may have been awake while Lan Wangji was meditating, he decided to distract his meditation, maybe," Wen Ruohan said, "you know, he may have enjoyed his distraction."

"What distraction?" Wei Wuxian asked, "it seems you all are more interested in our morning then what we will be watching next."

"He has a point," Lan Qiren said, "as much as a lot of you are interested, we should continue."

...

Wei Wuxian turned around and dashed in the directly of the blood pool. Lan Wangji followed closely at his side. The red spirit-summoning flag on the white robe was indeed the best target. Not a single corpse took notice of anyone else, completely ignoring all of the living humans that brushed by it, rushing red-eyed toward Wei Wuxian alone.

The corpses advanced one after another. The path that Wen Ning cleared up was always quickly filled up by other corpses, and so he'd rush back and clear it again. Over half of the people inside the Demon-Slaughtering Cave hadn't had the time to leave yet. Some of them were still unable to walk. They watched as Bichen's sword glare swept across the cave again and again, rows of corpses severed into chunks as the next row pressed on. Cries and wails echoed, almost flying above the ceiling of the Cave.

Soon, the corpses had surrounded Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, making it difficult for them to approach the blood pool. The mountains of corpses on the sides grew higher and higher, and the circle that surrounded them shrunk as well. The juniors were all burning with worry. They all returned, swords unsheathed.

Lan Jingyi saw that someone was waving his sword as he rushed outside, "Could you please help? If you can still pick up your sword, could you please come help?! Just a little bit is enough!"

The person scolded, "Get lost!!!"

Lan Sizhui, "Let it go, Jingyi, we are fine on our own!"

Having heard their voices, Wei Wuxian shouted, "Wen Ning!!! Throw them out!!!"

Wen Ning, "Yes!"

He grabbed Lan Jingyi with one hand and, just as he was about to grab Lan Sizhui with the other, Lan Sizhui spoke to him, "General Ghost, I cannot go, let me stay here!!! Or else I would regret it for my entire life!!!"

The moment they made eye contact with each other, Wen Ning's body froze. Seeing that he wasn't going to catch him anymore, Lan Sizhui immediately took up his sword and turned around. Lan Jingyi and the others took the chance to get past him as well. Almost being picked up, Jin Ling was dragged outside, brushing shoulder with many corpses. All of these corpses were attracted to the flag on Wei Wuxian, staring at that one direction with red eyes and ignoring them.

...

"Sizhui, you'd regret it?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"I didn't know you as my Baba back then, but I saw you how I saw A-Die. I felt with either of you around I have nothing to worry or be scared about," Sizhui told him.
