The Young Prince

~The Start of Disaster Pt. 2(end)~

Wen Chao the meaning of annoyance, evil, and everything bad. Maybe when he was a new born he wasn't but now. He really wasn't that handsome, he was quite plain looking, he had this very ugly smirk on his face anytime someone saw him.(btw I'm using the donghua description :')) He always had one woman very close to him, however for lots of people, ahem I mean Wei Wuxian, they didn't know who she was. Wen Lingjiao. Yeah she was currently all over him as he sat looking down on them.(This has two meanings, If you got it! Congrats!!). Wei Wuxian frowned as he stared at them, Yinyu saw but he decided to let it pass since he too was not pleased. Everyone was not pleased with being here.

"Welcome everyone." Wen Chao made a sign with his hands and people with a box came down in front of the people.

"Get in lines and place your swords in there." He smirked

Gasps could be heard everywhere, frowns.

Then someone spoke up, " Swords should always accompany those who cultivate. Why do you want us to hand them over!"

Hearing that, Wen Chao angrily stated, "Who was the one that spoke? From which sect? Stand forward on your own!"

Hearing no one he simply moved his hand, knowing his right hand man had seen the person speak. The person ran and touched the stomach of the one who spoke. He fell to the ground in aching pain.

Eyes widened, mouths agape. Lan Wangji who was near went to catch him, flinching from the pain in his leg. Wei Wuxian ran, however Yinyu grabbed him and they walked together.

"Lan Zhan are you okay? Uncle."

Yinyu nodded as he check the person lying on the floor, for a pulse. Yinyu was taken aback, beneath his mask laid an expression of shock.

"Uncle what's wrong?" Wei Wuxian noticed, he might've not seen his facial expression but the body language of hi uncle of which he came to learn told him everything.

"His golden core was melted." He spoke.

Gasps were heard everywhere, very shocked expressions on their faces. Wei Wuxian slowly looked at the man who touched him. Wen ZhuLiu.

Instinctively, Yinyu stood up and blocked Wei Wuxian, stepping in between both. This was not seen by a few people, Wen Chao squinted his eyes at that.

Jiang Cheng made his way over.

Wen Zhuliu made his way back to Wen Chao.

"How is that possible"

Wei Wuxian and Yinyu who had never once heard of such an incident were tense.

"Core-Melting hand." Jiang Cheng stated.

"Huh?"

"That Man next to Wen Chao, his name is Wen Zhuliu, also known as 'Core-Melting Hand'. That hand of his, if it touches you, your golden core will be melted."

Yinyu hearing that instinctively grabbed Wei Wuxian, accidentally showing something that was on his wrist. Wei Wuxian noticed and so did Yinyu who let go and covered it. It didn't go unnoticed by some people.

It made lots more suspicious of the man next to Wei Wuxian who had a mask on.

"Now then hand over your weapons, oh and you take off the mask." Wen Chao declared.

Wei Wuxian looked worriedly at his uncle who seemed calm but was actually thinking of what to do.

"I cannot." He stated.

Everyone froze. Wen Chao laughed.

"Excuse me?"

"I said I cannot."

"Wen Zhuliu."

"Second Young master Wen, my uncle cannot take his mask off due to a very ugly scare that covers his face, he wishes not to scar your precious eyes." Wei Wuxian spoke up, standing in front of Yinyu as he bowed. Practically begging for forgiveness. A great shame to the heavens and ghosts if one were to hear of such a thing. Even Yinyu who saw that was terrified. He quickly made Wei Wuxian stand straight as he bowed.

"It's as my nephew stated, I wish not to harm your eyes with this scar of mine."

"Mmh, alright then." He spoke in disgust, just thinking of how bad the scar must be.

"Now hand in your swords, You too Young Master Jin, you wouldn't want something happening to your sect like with the Lans."

With much hesitation everyone gave up their weapons, except Yinyu who well, didn't exactly need a weapon. Wei Wuxian had hesitated because it was a gift from his parents. And the sheath was a gift from his uncle. Both gifts from the heavens. Yinyu had practically had to tell him, it's alright. Heck even his parents and Mu Qing had to send a message telling him it was okay, that they could get it back whenever they wanted. To them the safety of Wei Wuxian was more important than some gifts they gave him.

"Great since everyone has turned in their swords take this, you shall memorize it and you will be quizzed on it."

It was the worst study anyone had experienced. They were treated as servants. It was one of the biggest shames for Wei Wuxian, after all he was the Young prince of the three realms. How could the young Prince do such thing, how could he bow his head to someone of such low status. Yinyu had to practically do everything for Wei Wuxian, however Wen Chao didn't allow it, so Wei Wuxian had to do such things.(please remember that during these times anyone under the status of a prince was seen a low rank and were not treated as well. Although of course for Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian they cared more about people than status.)

It was really a humiliation.

"It really does seem that the heavens don't pity you all, rain for days, your work becomes more heavy."

Many thought, "I think the heavens are pitying us, after all how close have you been to getting struck by lightning."

However everyone including Wen Chao had noticed something, where ever Wei Wuxian and Yinyu went they would never be soaked. It was like there was a invisible platform that shielded them from the rain.
(Thank Queen Yushi ☺️) Many had heard of the Rain Master, person who decided and had control over the rain. So it seemed that the only person who they really pitied was Wei Wuxian. And so Wen Chao made Wei Wuxians tasks much harder every time. It wasn't until a few days that the rain would stop. No one really knew why, however one day someone realized something that whenever they went out to work no rain, but whenever Wen Chao went out it rain cats and dog, lightning almost striking him, so Wen Chao dared not to head out unless it was with everyone else, or at least where Wei Wuxian was.

This of course was beginning the last straw, where disaster was going to start.
