The trust between us

chapters 9 TRAITOR

Lan XiChen's mouth formed an O shape after hearing that they were also under the illusion spell and his mouth formed a wider O when he heard Wei Wuxian repeatedly call his uncle.

He knew Wei Wuxian was trying to let his uncle know that he wasn't as powerful as he thinks even with the years of training and studying and he knew well enough that Wei Wuxian delighted in mocking his uncle with his polite words.

The bad thing was his uncle will use this later when talking to him and Wangji recently his uncle has been finding faults in Wei Wuxian it was like he was waiting for Wei Wuxian to make a mistake and then he will capitalise on it and say Wei Wuxian isn't good for cloud reccess .

Now Wei Wuxian was giving him more reasons to dislike his attitude even though he was a little right, his uncle goes over board and it must be shameful for his uncle to hear what Wei Wuxian had just said.

One minute his uncle was saying the juniors hadn't strengthened their minds enough and the next minute those words come back to bite him hard.

Lan XiChen needed to focus the most important thing now was to find jingyi, break the spell, find a way to counter the spell and find out who is behind this but before he could finish his trail of thought a scream shook him out of his thoughts. Seems the illusion spell had weared off

A junior disciple ran out of the room to where the group where as he looked at all of them he saw lan QiRen's face and the deep ugly frown on looking at him his screams stopped he then remembered his manners.

"Good evening sect leader, master lan master wei , Hanguang-Jun, senior yi ,senior fen" he called out there names while bowing

"Why are you running and screaming" Lan QiRen asked his tone harsh his face disappointed "Don't you know what the rules say about screaming and running".

"Master lan forgive me but i" the junior disciple whose name was haoyu meaning vast universe was trembling his gaze on the ground his shoulders shaking fearing the punishment that might await him.

Then Wei WuXian chose that moment to anger Lan QiRen more "what happened why did you scream?"

Apparently Wei Wuxian had cut off lan QiRen when he wanted responding to the disciple ,Wei Ying knew that the old man only wanted to lecture the scared disciple and might punish him so he decided to take matters in his hands and divert the situation to important matters he couldn't fanthom how the oldy could care more about the rules than the lives of the clan members he turned his gaze to the trembling boy his smile soft encouraging the boy to speak.

"W...e we....re gettin....g read....y fo...r be...d whe...n we al..l sa.w a... a..... a... fi...gur..e" his voice was shaky he was stammering clearly what ever he saw must have scared him shitless yet he continued stammering with the sentences.

"W....e don't kno.....w if it a man ....or wom...an but his fa...ce we coul....dn't see befo.....re any of us could react he grab....bed Jingyi and snapp.....ed his han...ds "

"T...he next thing i rememb.....er is screa.ming and mee...ting yo.u guys he...re"
He finally finished his expressions still gave off a scared rabbit running from it hunter.

Lan Zhan had been quiet all through the conversations he was quiet disturbed that he had been tricked twice first was during his night hunt and now these his own personal arrays he set up him self he couldn't sense when someone destroyed them how powerful was this person to be able to have played with his mind twice he turned his gaze from the scared disciple to Wei Ying their eyes met and he knew Wei Ying had a theory.

"Interesting" Wei Ying had said immediately the boy finished telling the tale other junior disciples had come out of their room Sizhui was among them he was clearly shaken and scared.
