Wangxian Prompt/Self-fill Dump

I will Protect you... Pt 5

Daddy Lan's name meanings:

Tao= 濤 "Great Waves"
Ming= 明 "Shining"
Shen= 神 "A Spirit" or "God"

So his birth name when written in English is Great Blue Waves, or literal Blue Great Waves. While his curtesy name is Shining Blue Spirit, or literal Blue Shining Spirit. I think his names are pretty fitting to the Lan Motif, but also a slight play on how what we know of his personality is both personified in his name and a bit of an oxymoron. It depends on how you look at it. I personally think they are fitting.

Lan Qiren's birth name meaning:

Zhe: 哲 "Philosopher"

This is pretty straightforward. Though this is also for irony because of how narrowminded he is! XD

Lan Huan had busied himself the last few days, sending out groups of students and seniors every day to Caiyi town for 'leisure time' warning them all to keep an eye out and to offer any help someone may request. He impressed upon them that they were not to charge the people, but to preform the service free of charge. If the people insist on giving them something as a gift, then accept it, but they were not to demand or ask for compensation. This way they would catch the Abyss much sooner than they had last time. He had also tasked their best scribes to make the copies of the books and to secure the originals in the chests and hide them in the back mountains. When he was not spending time with his brother and their beloved, he did some sneaky work of his own. He had written to Nie Mingjue after his initial break down of seeing his brother alive and his 16 year old self. He had quickly drafted a letter, careful to make it seem like he was seeking council on set another disturbing vision of the future, carefully weaving warnings and pointing his best friend and sworn brother in the right directions. He had carefully slipped him hints about the Sabers and how to temporarily satisfy the Resentment within them. He had to be careful to not mention anything too concrete without Wei Ying having established his basis for Demonic Cultivation nor coming up with the solution he had seen in his notes. Lan Huan pointed Mingjue toward Meng Yao and carefully worded his 'vision' of how the young man could be their greatest alley and their worse enemy if not handled carefully. He asked him to see if said young man existed and to take him underwing, but to not strong arm him. He made sure to add a progress report on Nie Huaisang so his friend did not get too suspicious of him and he mentioned that there was a very brilliant if unorthodox student in attendance and gushed about how the young man seemed to be drawing Wangji out of his shell! That would certainly get his Da-ge to humor him without asking too many questions though Mingjue knows that Lan Huan cannot always recall everything he saw nor can he disclose it all and risk the future drastically altering on him. Pleased with his letter he had sent it off and kept up a near daily communication with the slightly older male. Lan Huan had recalled the great help that Meng Yao had been to them, but also had seen some things as he fell through time that left him disturbed. As much as he wanted to be able to trust the shorter male; he couldn't be sure how fate would play her hand this time. But Lan Huan swore that if Meng Yao betrayed him or any of those he cared for, he would snap the little snake's neck personally.

Shaking his head, Lan Huan focuses on where he is walking and walks up to the doors that belonged to the Seclusion house his father had vanished into long before both his and Lan Zhan's births. Lan Huan has very few memories of his father, Lan Tao, curtesy name Lan Mingshen, titled the Qingchen-jun. Lan Huan had no idea how he felt about the man who abandoned his family. If his father truly loved his mother as many of their family claimed he did, he would not have allowed her to be locked away, he would have been with her every day, been with him and Wangji. Thinking about it, Lan Huan felt furious as he all but slams the doors open and does not bother to show his father the proper respect the Head of not only their Family but their Sect deserved.
