For You, I Would

It's Real

There wasn't really that much of a "talk" last night.

Good thing Nie Huaisang was afraid, if his brother learn that he had taken a bribe coming from the younger jade.

Who knows what kind of punishment awaits for him?

.

.

Now it was around 6:50 PM.

Two certain second heirs, had agree to meet up in a certain place, with a specific time.

"Wangji-xiong!"

"Did you get it?"

"Yes! Here now take it! I don't wanna be suspicious anymore!"

The two then exchange goodbyes, and left the crime scene. You read this narrator right. Crime scene.

.

.

After the trade dealing— it wasn't that much big.

After that, both Nie brothers need to head back to Unclean Realm, until Nie Huaisang needs to be sent back in Cloud Recesses for the guest studies. Again.

There's no time to waste, so firstly. It's time for the next step.

.

Lan Wangji knocks the door at Hanshi. "Xiongzhang?"

"Come in."

The younger opens the door, and salutes. He then proceed to sat in front of Lan Xichen.

"What's the matter?" Lan Xichen asks.

"Need Xiongzhang's permission."

"For what?"

"..."

Lan Xichen closely observes his brother's reaction, and he got it. So easily. "You can." sipping his cup, as he said so. He then grab a pouch beside him, and gave it to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji nods, "Thank you." he bows, and stood up. "Wangji will excuse first."

Lan Xichen smiles, and nods back at his brother. "Safe travels."

.

Its not really much of a deal. In truth, Lan Wangji rarely asks for requests from anyone, especially to his brother.

He preferred to stay silent, and let himself do it. Unless it's necessary to.

Who knows, what he was actually thinking right?

.

Then next thing he knew, he arrived at Yiling. Yes. Yiling.

It was not out of anything related to Wei Wuxian. But for precaution measures. There is one thing to do, or so.

As Lan Wangji dismount from his sword, Bichen. He then entered the town. Its small, yet lively.

There wasn't really that much of interest. Just a little stroll around, and finally stop at the entrance of the Burial Mountains.

He look at its terrain from a distance. It look drought, thrilling, and dark.

Yet, how did Wei Wuxian survive, if the Burial Mountains was this terrible?

Filling with courage, he walk in towards the entrance. Feeling a little eerie at the place, compared to how Wei Wuxian stayed here. Either way, it's not much of his choice to stay.

In the past, Wei Wuxian didn't really say anything out of ordinary, on how he was living inside. Yet turns out, it was way worse than one imagined.

The interior was way much terrifying, than the outside. Back when Lan Wangji visit the Burial Mountain to check on Wei Wuxian. The atmosphere was lively, yet too drought.

And in comparison to that, here was way worse than the first one. Most likely, Wei Wuxian and the rest had cleaned up a small area for them to live in. The rest was ongoing for another expansion. And that didn't came, since there's too much had happened. Causing the Wen remnants to be killed in the seige.

But what about A-Yuan? Did he also die during that? He's still a kid. How could a child like him can kill?

Thinking about it, he was already at the very center. At first, faint resentment kept lingering at him. That's why, keeping his spiritual aura all over himself would do the trick.

He then came across the cave, where Wei Wuxian once stayed during his time here. When Lan Wangji walk into there, it was messy...

Kind of worse to live in? Yet, his beloved manages to reside here, for god knows how long.

There's not really much life around the Burial Mountain. Only dried trees, rough soil, messy leaves, dead roots, and so on.

However, during his venture around. He stumbled at a dead bamboo root. Thinking, this is the very raw material his Wei Ying had craft ChengQing.

He sheathe Bichen, and slice a piece of the bamboo. 'A perfect gift.' he thought.

There's still time left, until nothing to spare. So, Lan Wangji went back to the cave.

Lan Wangji, himself, of course didn't knew much about resentful energy. Or how it works. Much less, only little knowledge of yin-yang were taught to him. And mostly, on spiritual energy.

True, he likes to preoccupied most of his time to himself in the library, or Jingshi. That's why, in this life.

He had to fucking break his clan rules, and went to the forbidden library, without anyone's knowledge, even from his brother.

Wei Wuxian would have his jaw dropped down, if he ever learns about this.

Lan Wangji couldn't care more about the rules that binds onto him, forming unwanted shackles that prevents him deciding from his own will. Made him feel guilt. Losing his chance to confess at the right time.

Thinking about it, made him feel nauseous, wanting to throw out from the slightest thought of it.

If there's something to do here. That is his business here.

Inside. The. Burial. Fucking. Mountains.
