Wangxian Prompt/Self-fill Dump

Like a Phoenix, I rise Pt 4

~Time Skip~

Lan Zhan flicked his sword clean of blood before he pulled out Wangji and began to play his half of Peace and Serenity, in the distance, the other half could be heard played on the xiao and a dizi, letting him know his brother and Wei Ying were safe. Once the remnants of the Yao was banished and laid to rest, he turned to his group of juniors and began to check them for injuries. What was supposed to be a simple Night Hunt to get the Juniors feet wet, turned out to be a disaster. Lan Zhan is glad that Wei Ying has always had a sixth sense about how dangerous a situation could be. However it was saddening that he learned this skill when he lost his parents as a very young child.

"A'Zhan!!" Wei Ying calls as he leads his group of juniors over, they are bandaged up and holding more medical supplies and quickly help to tend to their fellow agemates.

"Calm, a'Ying..." He sooths, standing and gently brushing the beck of his knuckles down the fine cheek of his beautiful Wei Ying. "Brother?"

"He should be here soon, he is helping to treat the Jiang group." Wei Ying says and then smiles softly. "He was impressed by Shijue's skills! Never doubt a woman with a cast iron skillet!"

"Mm." He nods, he's seen the lady crack a few skulls with her good skillet over the years since he introduced her to his brother as children. "Happy?"

"He was blushing last I saw him, but he was focused on aiding rather than gushing..." Wei Ying giggles softly.

"Good..."

Lan Zhan had kept his promise to introduce the young lady Jiang to his brother as children. His plan to find extended family for Wei Ying worked when not only the Lady Baoshen Sanren had showed up with her only living son and son in-law, but the Jiangs too. Lan Zhan had played up being a concerned child for his friend, which made his Uncle think rationally even if he was still a bit bothered by some things. Lady Baoshen had immediately shut down the Jiangs about taking in Wei Ying, the Immortal stripping Madam Yu down with her words and cursing the woman for her hate and spite to curse a dead woman and daring to turn her ire and insecurities onto an innocent child. Wei Ying had asked her what she meant and that was how he learned he had a grandma and uncles. He was not too keen to go with the Jiangs, but Lady Baoshen had seen how Wei Ying had taken to Jaing Yanli and offered to train both the future Omegas for a few years, they would then train with the Jiangs for a few years and then with the Lans for a few years. Lan Zhan wasn't too happy, but he knew this would help Wei Ying in the long run so he convinced his beloved to go with his grandma. It wasn't until the Lectures that Gusu Lan was hosting this year, that he got to see his beloved again, having gone to train at the temple from which Song Lan, Wei Ying's uncle by marriage, had grown up in for five years.

According to the letters he got from Wei Ying, he liked Lady Jiang, she was a sweet and calm person, infinitely patient and kind, a goddess made flesh! He groused about her fiance, who they met a few times and was a super jerk to her for no reason! He recalls the letter Wei Ying sent when Jin Zixuan had made Lady Jiang cry at the welcome home feast Lotus Pier hosted when the two soon to present Omegas had finally got there after completing their training on Baoshen Sanran's Mountain. Lan Xichen and Uncle had gone to represent Gusu Lan and to welcome the pair back with the gifts Lan Zhan had set aside for them. According to the letter, Lady Jiang had been introducing Wei Ying to her Jiang martial brothers and sisters, nothing special when Jin Zixuan had called her shameless and unfilial. She had tried to appear unaffected, but she was already going through the pre presentation maturation, which made one's emotions very unstable, she began to cry. Lan Xichen who had been standing not to far away, and already gone through his own pre presentation maturation and had settled well into the role of a calm, but fierce Alpha, growled. Wei Ying's letters told him that Lan Xichen flashed Alpha red eyes and punched the Jin Heir in the mouth, sending him flying into the river not too far from where the children were all sitting and chatting. Wei Ying had to save the overdressed heir from drowning and calm Lan Xichen down by cuddling with his Xichen-gege. Wei Ying had painted a cute picture of Lan Xichen looking quite pouty, torn between wanting to cuddle his Xiao Ying and continuing to be furious on Lady Jiang's behalf. Lan Zhan would have paid handsomely to see his brother, who could put even the most skilled Zen masters to shame with his everlasting calm and patience, snap and punch the peacock in the face. He also secretly wanted to punch the Jin Heir because it seems he is destined to spit on Lady Jiang's kindness no matter the life time.
