Weave my Heart Pt 5

The morning of the fourth day dawns with no sign of the crow, but Lan Zhan promises Wei Ying that his mother's birds are incredibly smart and will find them no matter where they are in the world. So they left Yiling and headed towards Yunmeng first. Wei Ying explained that the reason he fell into the Burial Mounds was because he managed to escapse the Tortoise of Slaughter's cave after coming up with a rather insane and very dangerous plan to kill the animal from the inside out. He even still had the strange sword that helped him. Showing it to Lan Zhan, he watched in amazement at quiet companion seemed to strum the wisps of resentful energy that danced off the blade as if he were playing his guqin. The energy danced to his motions and seemed to calm down and the blade began to change shape as his fingers moved until it was a circular shape with bright red string running through and around holding a black crystal in the center and what looked like twin tigers chasing each other's tails were carved into it. Lan Zhan nods at his handwork and gives it to Wei Ying.

"For Wei Ying... smaller, safer..." He tells him.

"But..." Wei Ying blinks and slowly takes it. The seal, because that what it looks like, hums and even vibrates in his hand as if recognizing him. "I don't know what to do with it..."

"Wei Ying used it to kill Xuanwu, Xuanwu was made of Yin as well... Wei Ying can use Yin and Yang energy." He tries to explain himself, but grows a bit frustrated when he cannot find the right words.

"... Oh! It's because I used Yin to fight Yin! So I can actually use Yin energy! Yes, I can finally prove to everyone that I'm not crazy! But Lan Zhan uses Yin energy too." He blinks and silver meets gold as the Alpha nods once.

"Since young..." Lan Zhan agrees and then blinks as he turns and there is the crow. "Yaya is back."

"Yaya?" Wei Ying smiles at the cute name for the crow, who circles them once and lands on Lan Zhan's hand. "Thank you, Yaya, such a pretty girl."

She preens at the praise and lets him lightly scratch at the underside of her chin and the top of her head before he grabs the message out of her tube harness and then hops up onto Lan Zhan's shoulder. The pair had been resting on the side of the road, letting Lil' Apple graze and get some water. The donkey had a bit of an attitude, but seemed to understand that Lan Zhan would not take her shit, though she seemed to take her annoyance out on Wei Ying, who only wanted to be friends. Cranky demon donkey. He shakes his head and reads the note, smiling at the 'recipe' his sister sent him.

"Oh good, Shijie is safe... Oh no... Yunmeng was attacked!" Wei Ying gasps. "Based on the time frame, I was still with the Xuanwu or it was after I escaped and got captured by Wen Chao... Tsk, that's why he said no one would come save me! He attacked my home... Uncle and Madam Yu..." He sighs as he keeps reading, hoping his sister hand seen their brother. "Oh thank the gods! A'Cheng's safe and has met up with some of the Rebels heading to Qinghe."

"A'Cheng?" Lan Zhan asks, his tone a bit cooler than he intended, but he was feeling a bit jealous.

"My didi, he's a prickly thing, always gets mad when I remind him that I'm a week older than he is so he should listen to me, but does he? Nope!" Wei Ying answers, missing the relief on Lan Zhan's face. "So there is no point going near Yunmeng... not unless we want to run into Wang Lingjiao, that fucking conniving bitch..." He hisses. She had tried to brand his friend, Mianmian's face just because she was jealous of how pretty the Alpha female was, but she was an Alpha! Wen Chao may be a pig, but even he knows better than to get his dick near woman who's dick is bigger than his and can easily break him in two... Okay so maybe not, but he likes to believe that Mianmian is a super strong woman because no one who puts up with the Jins like she does is weak!

"Should still go... lay Sect Leader and Madam to rest..." Lan Zhan tells him and Wei Ying considers it for a long moment. There is the chance to also get some revenge for his Sect and rescue anyone who is still alive, but it is just the two of them and Wei Ying's still too weak to do anything. "Will protect Wei Ying..."
