SC17 - Test of Huiyi

"I still couldn't believe that Lan Zhan will get married in the future. He's too stiff. You look like the two jades so you can also introduce yourself as ZewuJun's child." Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were both busy cleaning their swords when Jiang Yanli arrived with Lan Xian. They continued what they are doing while listening to the women's conversation until Wei Wuxian remembered what Lan Xian had told them when they first met her.

"But I am his daughter and you are my...my godfather!" Lan Xian exclaimed.

Wei Wuxian immediately refused to believe. "Hey, hey, stop lying. I can't be your godfather. That's impossible!"

Jiang Cheng agreed. With how Wei Wuxian annoyed the second young master of the Lan Clan, even he wouldn't believe such a thing. "Your father hates him to the core. How could he allow him to be your godfather? Even Master Lan wouldn't allow his grandniece to involve with Wei Wuxian."

"But he is!" Lan Xian scratched her cheeks. "Okay, what questions do you have for me for you to believe me?"

Wei Wuxian sneered. "Who is your mother?"

Lan Xian frowned. "Would that make you believe me? That didn't even happen yet this time. You are just trying to know who he married. I won't tell you, you will faint."

Wei Wuxian, "Why would I faint?"

Lan Xian paused. It did not take long until the corner of her lips twitched. "Let me tell you, this is based on my father's eyes. My mother is very beautiful and one of the things that my Baba loves is my mother's eyes. Look at my eyes, I inherited them from my mother. Does it look familiar to you?"

"That eyes..." Jiang Yanli uttered. The pair of eyes is something she had seen ever since Wei Wuxian arrived at the Lotus Pier. How could she not notice the resemblance when he's been with them since childhood. But how?

"Shijie, are you familiar with these eyes?" Wei Wuxian asked.

Lan Xian knew that Jiang Yanli already have some thoughts and must be neither curious nor confused. Before the young Jiang maiden could ask, she cleared her throat and said, "Since you don't want to ask me. I will tell you some things that will make you believe me."

Wei Wuxian turned his head, "Like?"

Lan Xian, "Hmm, you love spicy food. Very spicy that I love to eat too. You always bring me to Hunan cuisine in Caiyi Town and for you to buy emperor smile. You love to drink it. Your parents died and the Jiang family adopted you."

"Someone might have told about that. It's not a secret to the cultivation world."

Lan Xian scratched her head, feeling frustrated. "Why is it so hard for you to believe me?"

Wei Wuxian, "Listen, you must be 14 or 15 now and it was not far from our age-"

Lan Xian, "Believe it or not, I'm still 12."

Wei Wuxian put down his sword. "Fine. Fine. You are 12. You can tell me something that I will most likely do."

Lan Xian was taken aback. People love to talk. There is always a rumor and to confirm the rumor, she would ask her big brother, SiZhui, or her martial brother, Jingyi. However, coming from a prominent clan and as the young mistress of the Lan Clan, she was always asked to ponder about it and think about whether to believe the rumor or not. So then, he never asked his brothers again. She instead asked his father, Lan Wangji, who told her the brief story of her other father. Lan Wangji might be so in love with Wei Wuxian but Lan Xian knew if her Baba is lying or not. After a long silence, Lan Xian finally said, "You are ready to go against the orthodox to protect the people you care about. Willing to give all you have to make them safe. You have that strong sense of justice."
