Lan XiChen felt panic rise through his body at what his uncle said
Wei Wuxian the traitor it impossible
Yet at the back of his minds doubts lingered he quickly pushed it to the back of his mind and decided saving the missing people was the priority now.

Lan Zhan felt so angry he was trying to quell his thoughts all he wanted to do was match straight to his uncle and speak loudly to his ears that Wei Ying can never betray him, he was to good, to selfless, to caring, and here was his uncle doubting him.

Wei Wuxian heard his name and knew what the old man was Implying, he felt hurt from the fact that Lan QiRen didn't trust him but he pushed his emotions inside what mattered was his beloved husband trusted him so he locked up his feelings and put on a brave smile not letting his sadness show and decided that finding the missing people was more important.

Luckily before Lan QiRen could react to what Lan Zhan said Lan XiChen cut him short.

"We need to find the missing people first and find Jingyi in the process so i suggest we investigate the town and know how these people had gone missing in the first place" his  voice was sharp his face calm and gentle, nothing like the sharp voice they heard .

"Yes sect leader wise choice we have to begin investigation immediately" lan Yi also said out loud his gaze smiling back at Wei Wuxian and Wei Wuxian returned the smile back.

If Lan Zhan noticed he didn't say a word neither did his expressions.

"So it settled Wangji you will go with master Wei and a few disciples to begin the investigation" his voice authoritative

"I will go to with them sect leader Lan" Sizhui spoke up he was clutching his the sides of his robes he gaze refusing to meet Wei Wuxian

Wei Wuxian quickly respond "No it will be dangerous his tone firm but you could hear his worry"

"I know master Wei but this will give me experience and I will learn more things from you and Hanguang-Jun and become a better cultivator making you both proud" Sizhui's finally met his father's gaze his tone equally firm it looked like he had made up his mind regardless of what any one will say

He saw the unsettling expressions In his father face Wei Wuxian's eyes moving from him to Lan Zhan as if begging to back him up but Lan Zhan stood motion less his gaze fixed on no one in particular then, to Lan Xichen and back to him his mouth was open as if trying to speak in hopes of convincing them.

"It settled then you guys will head out by morning if anything seems to dangerous then Sizhui you head back to warn us okay? Lan Xichen had spoken before wei wuxian could get any more words out of his mouth

Yes sect leader he bowed and left the hall along with Lan Haoyu not giving Wei Wuxian another glance.

Lan QiRen stood still quiet his gaze moving from Lan Zhan to Wei Wuxian he left the place he was standing and walked to where they where he gave a long and hard look to Wei Wuxian and walked out of the hall not sparing his nephew a glance.

Lan Fen who had been so traumatised still by what ever he saw also left the hall in silence apparently regaining some of his composure.

Lan Xichen walked to his brother his eyes stared  right into Lan Zhan he knew fully well that his brother was scared,  he didn't need Wangji to spell it out he knew it he said nothing of that and instead.

"Wangji be careful out the" he placed his left  hand on his brother's left shoulder now standing to his side before he walked past him he squeezed the shoulder hard and then Lan Zhan turned his face so fast to meet his gaze stunned and shocked looking at his brother for some explanation but his brother said nothing and walked past him to the door but before he left completely he turned back to face them .

"You to master Wei" and with that said he disappeared completely from their view if you looked closely while he was saying those words The was no smile that usually accompanied his face when ever he spoke to Wei Wuxian instead what was seen was a neutral expression had to decipher what he was thinking or feeling.

Lan Yi turned  looked at Wei Ying
"I will see you tomorrow Wei Wuxian don't worry every thing will be fine am here and am by your side always, stop worrying about Sizhui the is me and Hanguang-Jun to protect him you don't need to feel worried" and as he said that he squeeze Wei Ying's hands that were clasped together.

"Thank you Yi I will see you tomorrow I feel much better" and he smiled and took Lan Yi's hands squeezing them in turn and with that said Lan Yi left the room and missed the dark expressions, hard gazes  that where left following him till he exited the door.
