Can I Really Change Things? (ON HOLD)

Chapter 26

"....So let me get this straight.... You got up in the middle of the night to get some water.... then you tripped over the hems of your robes and fell directly onto your throat and now you can't talk.... That's what happened?" Jiang Cheng and the others sceptically said.

TaiFeng nodded furiously, clutching a piece of paper with her explanation on it.

"... That's unusually clumsy of you." Wei Ying remarked, while Wangji stared dubiously at her.

"How come nobody heard you fall?"
Zixuan questioned.

TaiFeng simply threw her arms up in an unsure gesture like the famous *Guess I'll Die* meme.

She went and wrote on the paper.

'You guys are prepared for tomorrow?'

"Don't worry, we all know what to do." MianMian assured her.

TaiFeng then gave a sharp look to Wei Ying and crossed her arms.

"I know, I know, I swear on your mothers grave that I won't do anything reckless and/or stupid or you and Jiang Cheng will break my legs." Wei Ying scoffed.

"I'll keep him in check." Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes.

'Let's do this.'

Right on que, Wen Chao sat down in his tacky throne along with Wen Xu in the corner, going completely unnoticed by everyone, except TaiFeng.

This time he didn't take his eyes off her, and was watching her every move like a hawk.

Much to her annoyance. Although she just ignored him to the best of her abilities.

She simply focused on channelling  spiritual energy to her throat in an attempt to make her vocal chords heal faster.

It already had healed a bit since this morning, so she was saving her voice only for when she needed it.

"Look at you all. Pathetic dogs, scrounging about uselessly." Wen Chao sneered.

'Are you talking about yourself?'

"I trust you all memorized the Quintessence of the Wen Sect. Who wants to recite it first?"

Everyone was silent.

"Looks like I'll have to call someone out."

"Young Master Jin." He called out.

"I cannot." He replied.

"Hah, you couldn't even memorize them."

"Fine then, Second Young Master Lan."

"I cannot." He stoicly replied.

After nervously chuckling a bit ,Wei Ying stepped up.

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

Wen Ying enthusiastically walked forward and started stretching.

'Wei Ying, your reciting rules, not leading morning zumba class.' TaiFeng inwardly sighed.

"Wen Wuxian! Are you going to recite them or not?!" Wen Chao yelled.

"I'm about to, I'm about to." He said clearing his throat, pacing up and down.

"Thao shall not make loud noises. Thau shall not sneer. Thao shall not draw weapons indoors." He paused to look at Wen Chao.

"Thao shall not sit improperly."

By now everyone had figured out what he was up to, and was trying to contain their laughter.

"Wei Wuxian! How dare you recite Lan Sect rules in Qishan?!" Wen Chao spat.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise. Wait, let me try again." He said cheekily.
