SC18 - Test of Huiyi

"Uncle is in rage. I'm afraid he'll confront Uncle Wei with what he witnessed earlier?"

(F) Lan SiZhui raised his hand to rub his husband's back. He is a little worried but he had no other choice at that time. Fighting fierce corpses or evil spirits is way too different when they are controlled by a demon. "Do not worry. It will be fine."

Jin Ling, "Back then, after finding out about our relationship, he offered no help when I'm having a hard time controlling the elders. I thought he trusted me that I could face it on my own but one day, I heard him talking with Uncle Wei. He held a grudge and thought that I don't need him anymore. On that day, he has been waiting for me to find his help but he didn't expect I was able to get through it."

"I am aware of that. That's why we made sure to show ourselves to him once in a while, aren't we?"

"Uncle has been alone. Despite showing tough to Jiang Sect's disciples, I know that he is lonely." Jin Ling sighed heavily. He lifted his head and showed a small smile at SiZhui. " It's just a good thing that our siblings are there to occupy his mind and A-Niang's presence made it even greater."

(F) SiZhui patted his back. His eyes softened as he looked at his husband's smile. He wanted to wrap his arms around him and comfort him but several eyes are observing them. After thirteen years of marriage, he always made sure Jin Ling won't have the time to think of the past. Unfortunately, going back to the past meant they would have to reminisce about it. Knowing what would happen in the next coming months is terrifying. In the next few days of their stay in the past timeline, who knows if they would have to forcefully tell them a slice of the future.

They continued walking out of the forest until they reached the end of it. When they finally went out unscathed, they started their journey going to the Mohu village. After a few words with his husband, Future SiZhui walked slower, waiting for his past self to reach him. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian also stopped from their track.

"What's wrong?"

"Follow us. We'll just gonna check something before we head to the village." (F) SiZhui turned to Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng. "Senior Wei, Sect Leader Jiang, I will just borrow my past self. Would you mind leading the rest to the village?"

Before the two could answer, Jingyi's voice was heard with a piece of paper in his hand. "SiZhui!"

(F) SiZhui turned to him. "Why?"

"A-Yang sent another butterfly message. He found the second young mistress Lan in the village we are heading to. She's with one of your clan's disciples. They are both unconscious and are having a fever. Should we head to the village first to check on them?"

SiZhui paused for a moment. "No need. It's not me that she needed." It's very rare for his siblings to get sick. The only time they caught colds is when they stayed too long in the water or if they are having a bad dream. When that happens, they just need Wei Wuxian's warm and they'll be fine so SiZhui turned to Wei Wuxian and bowed. "Senior Wei, can you take care of her, please? You can just hold her hand. Once she felt your warmth, she'll be fine."

"SiZhui, are you serious? That kid is your—"

"Trust me, Senior Wei. A-Li would feel better once she felt your warm."

"I didn't expect SiZhui to be so cold to her daughter." One of the Lan commented.

(P) Jingyi, "Wait, didn't they say A-Yang? Are they referring to Liu Yang they are with? How did he get into the Mohu Village? We didn't even see him come with them."

"Who is A-Yang? Is he from the future too?"

While the others continued their way to the Mohu village, Past Sizhui glanced at his future self. He is pondering his future self's attitude earlier towards his future daughter. Is he that cold towards his children? Is it because there is no love in the marriage? But even so, he won't act that way to an innocent child, right?
