Who You Are Book 2

Chapter 83 - Do Not Trust Him

"Welcome back," Baoshan greeted Wangji and Wuxian once they entered the screening room, "Where did you go?"

"I felt nauseous so I wanted some fresh air," Wuxian told her.

"You haven't taking prenatal supplements yet have you?" Baoshan asked.

"No," Wuxian answered.

"Wait here," Baoshan told him and left the room for a moment

"I can't believe you are having another child," Cangse said happily, "And we can be here when it happens."

"Lan Zhan and I talked about it, and decided to stay here at the mountain until I have the baby. I don't really want to be around a lot of people. We still have plans to go to Gusu, but we want to be here where it is calm and secluded," Wuxian told them.

"We can understand that," Lan Xichen said.

"I have also to select a new chief cultivator, as I wanted to be with Wei Ying more," Wangji told them.

"We can give you time, but we can also spend some time to discuss it, did you have anyone in mind?" Lan Xichen asked.

"I am between, you, Xiongzhang, and Sect Leader Nie Mingjue. I have also considered, I repeat, considered, allowing Wen Ruohan to have his position back as long as he doesn't repeat what he has done before," Wangji explained.

"I am grateful that you are willing to give me another chance, but I want to rebuild the Wen Sect properly and make sure they won't fall into my destructive ways again...So I want Wen Qing, to be the new Wen Sect Leader. I hope you will allow the Wen Sect to come back, even though a lot of us are now dead, but with Wen Qing, Wen Ning, and me, we can bring it back. I want to teach Wen Qing the proper ways of running a sect," Wen Ruohan explained.

"I am more of a doctor than a leader, Wen Ning could be a sect leader though," Wen Qing stated.

"I suppose Wen Ning could as well," Wen Ruohan stated.

"I think Da-Ge should take the Chief Cultivator posistion," Lan Xichen suggested, "He knows right from wrong and lives up to justice and believes in second chances if it is reasonable."

"What do you say?" Wangji asked Nie Mingjue.

"I will accept," Mingjue agreed, "I can also keep an eye on Huaisang better."

"Why me?" Huaisang asked.

"Because you need to be kept watch," Mingjiu told him.

Before Huaisang could protest, Baoshan returned with a prenatal vitamin for Wuxian. After taking it, Wuxian relaxed on Wangji's lap. The group decided to continue this discussion of chief cultivator after they finish with the memories.

...

Lan Xichen, "What letter?"

Jin Guangyao, "A letter of threat. The letter said... those things would be publicized for the world to see in seven days. They wanted me to either turn myself in and apologize, or... wait for the day of my death."

Everyone understood. Of course, Jin Guangyao couldn't just wait for his death to come. Instead of having his name be ruined and his sect be overthrown by the mockery of all the sects, he'd be the one to strike first. At that time, even if the opponent really spread the rumors of all his past deeds everywhere, after the siege, the sects would be drained of the energy to bother him.

Unfortunately, it was all wrecked by Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

...

"Whoops," Wuxian said shrugging his shoulders, "Sorry not sorry."
