The trust between us

chapter 3 freedom

Lan SiZhui and had grown from the little boy that wanted to be planted as a radish to a skilled cultivator learning well from his father Hanguang-Jun it on rare moments he calls either of them father and it very hard before he calls Lan Zhan father but in public to the eyes of all he addresses them as Hanguang-Jun and Master wei

They had adopted him as their child after that got married

He will always remember that he was born a Wen and raised as a Lan he had always been greatful to Wei WuXain for rescuing them and Lan Wangji for rescuing  him and taking care of him , now he had grown to love them

Occasionally he goes night hunting with his uncle Wen Ning and the other junior Lan disciples Lan Jingyi being the closest to him and they often cross parts with Jin Ling and Ouyang Zizchen

Coming back from the past when he almost fought Jin Ling for trying to kill his father he could say now they were closer apart from the expected fights Lan Jingyi would have with Jin Ling
Jingyi was the one lan disciple that acted almost like Wei WuXian

Lan Jingyi has a distinctly loud voice and boisterous personality, he tends to be careless and straightforward, he is open and honest about his opinions and he occasionally breaks the rules by talking behind people's back or sneaking alcohol and talking to Wei WuXian outside of class

Some might even say Wei WuXian raised him because of the similarities, well who wouldn't!?

Once in a while Lan SiZhui got into trouble and some called it the influence of his father Wei WuXian being back in his life.

Today he was excited and tired he was going on the night hunt with the two renounce cultivators and he was happy to go and learn from the both of them.

Lan QiRen had told lan Wangji that the junior disciples were slacking and needed more training and so instead of every week or when they hear complaints from caiyi Town or when some one reports disturbances it was now  every three days they go out on a night hunt whether the was a report or a complaint they had to go and if the was nothing Hanguang-Jun will train them and make them spar each other late into the night and then they by 9 pm they will book an inn to rest
And instead of the morning and afternoon lessons they had Lan QiRen had added evening lessons and training sessions in the court yard
And the was no time to see your fellow mates or talk to them or go to the cold pond and catch fish or do anything else apart from training and from 5 till 9 you were constantly busy no time for your self to rest

As a Lan he needed to get the feeling of tiredness from his mind exhaustion was aching his bones reminding him that he was tired,
Yet he recited the rules to remind him self who he was.
He didn't pay attention to the aches all he thought of was making Hanguang-Jun proud of him.

And the thoughts of seeing his uncle occasionally motivated him.

Wen Ning didn't have free access into cloud reccess Lan QiRen won't hear of it

He allowed that unruly boy to taint his nephew he wasn't going to keep giving in to any more requests.

Lan SiZhui was walking towards the jingshi the air around the jingshi was peaceful no one ventured to close to the jingshi except from him and ZeWu–Jun and on angry days master Lan and occasionally Jingyi or disciples who were sent to summon the couple

He knocked first knowing that he didn't want to repeat the past mistake of walking in on his parents kissing, more like eating each other's mouth so passionately. Getting the image out of his head after that was hard and he had learnt his lessons.

Soon he heard Wei WuXian say come in and his tone sounded displeased seems like he interrupted them again it wasn't his fault they just couldn't keep their hands of each other.
