The Untamed: Inexorable Fate of Us

Chapter 4: Found & Lost

Early in the morning- like way~~~~~ early in the morning that the sunlight has not even peeked over the mountain, Wei Wuxian skips in the hall with Lan Wangji beside him. Wei Wuxian makes his way to the gates of Mo Xingyi and finds A-nuan.

Wei Wuxian runs over to her: A-nuan! Just who I'm looking for!

Nuan puts a finger to her lips and softly shush: Xingyi is still asleep.

Wei Wuxian nods, his mask nearly slipping off: I need a favor from you.

Nuan looks over to the very handsome man next to Wei Wuxian: H-Han Guangjun. (bows)

Wei Wuxian rises Nuan: Eh, no need to be formal here. He and I are good friends. Look here. (grabs Nuan's face so she'll focus on him) Han Guangjun is very beautiful but look here. Mo-ge needs a favor.

Nuan with her face still squashed up: What is it?

Wei Wuxian: Can you do grab a Mo servant outfit for me? Oh! I also need make-up. I have a friend that needs it.

Nuan with no question: Of course! I'll bring it to you.

Wei Wuxian lets go of her face and pats her head. Nuan walks away and Lan Wangji watches her walk away then turns back to Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji: How long have you been back? You seem so close to her.

Wei Wuxian: Not long. A-Nuan is a very sweet and kind girl. Truthfully, I'm supposed to be keeping my eyes on Mo Xingyi but Mo Gonzi and Madam Mo seem to not give her trouble.

Lan Wangji: I think that is because the Mo family is going to keep her in a good condition for marriage. If they have any trouble then Miss Nuan would take it.

Wei Wuxian: I have been suspecting that too. With all these elite clans around, I'm sure Madam Mo is trying to build connection with strong cultivation clan by marrying Mo Xingyi off. Who better to marry Xingyi off too than Jin Ling? Two clans in one marriage.

Their conversation ends as Nuan returns with the clothes and makeup, handing it to Wei Wuxian. He thanks her than quickly returns to give the clothes to Wen Ning.

Wei Wuxian cross his arms and smiles proudly: There! Don't you look nice, Wen Ning. Now I have a personal servant. I won't be laughed at alone.

Wen Ning: What?

Wei Wuxian: Maybe I should've mentioned this first but the original owner of this body wasn't too popular. (pats Wen Ning on the back) And with the little bit of makeup, you look different. Only slightly but- (clears his throat) You will address me as Great Mo Gonzi.

Lan Wangji: Wen Ning should get a new name.

Wei Wuxian: Yes! How about Timothy?

Wen Ning: What kind of name is that?

Wei Wuxian: Hey, don't insult the name.

Lan Wangji: Wen Qionglin... Zi'an?

Wen Ning quickly accepts the name before getting stuck with Timothy: Yes, Zi'an sounds great. Thank you, Lan Er Gonzi.

Wei Wuxian: Right, now we have to get to the bottom of business. What is attracting spirits here?

Lan Wangji: We'll start by investigating the marriage proposals.

When Mo Xingyi wakes up, Nuan was gone. Wherever she went, Xingyi wouldn't know but she's sure Nuan is just working on her weak swords skills. Mo Xingyi would tell her if she could that Nuan's basic sword is not made for her frame. It's too heavy and Nuan can't get better by just swinging her sword in the woods.
