Dimensions Apart (Wangxian)

Escapade

~Jiang Cheng's Private Chamber: Lotus Pier, Yunmeng~

...but why can't we go today? It's already been three weeks since we last visited Cloud Recesses. I've assigned this week's work to my Senior disciple. He can just send me a message in case of any urgent situation," Jin Ling said, scowling with frustration

"YOU BRAT! THAT'S NOT HOW YOU RULE A SECT AS LARGE AS JINS!!! How many times have I told you?! You're still an IMMATURE Sect Leader in the eyes of those vultures who are waiting for you to make just one mistake!!!

And with you leaving your Sect almost every month, in the hands of your Senior disciple no less, it won't take them long to find your weakness and remove you from YOUR POSITION! TO SNATCH AWAY YOUR BIRTHRIGHT! JUST HOW RECKLESS CAN YOU BE!!!" Jiang Cheng yelled, angrily as he walked towards his desk and started with a new pile of Jiang Sect issues that needs to be solved

"I'M NOT RECKLESS!" Jin Ling shouted back looking hurt, "If anything, my management and problem-solving skills have improved in the last few months. Whenever we've visited Cloud Recesses, Xian ge has not only given me tips and tricks to efficiently manage the Sect affairs but has also taught me several techniques to improve my cultivation and my sword skills along with ideas to keep those vultures in check!

Besides, with Xian ge's latest talisman, even Jins and Jiangs can send and receive important information like Lan Sect's butterfly messages. It has made our communication faster and safer. I have taught my Senior disciple how to send such secret messages to me just like you taught yours!

So if you're done with listening to my reasons, can we go to meet Xian ge, now?"

"Maybe the day after tomorrow. I still have much work to do unlike you, A'ling. And for heaven's sake, he's not your ge, brat! When will you start calling him Uncle?!" Jiang Cheng huffed, rolling his eyes annoyedly but felt relaxed that finally, his nephew has started sharing his problems and even handled them efficiently. 

Although Jiang Cheng never wanted his nephew to bear such a heavy responsibility of ruling a huge Sect at his young age, there weren't any other options, were they?

"You are Uncle, Uncle Cheng. But he...no, not possible. I won't call someone of my age, Uncle- Xian ge!!!" Jin Ling shouted as he ran towards the huge window of Jiang Cheng's chamber

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SHOUTING- Wei Wuxian??!!!" Jiang Cheng shouted as he looked in the direction where Jin Ling suddenly ran, only to jump out of his seat and ran in the same direction after seeing an exhausted and gasping Wei Ying sitting on the floor in a dishevelled appearance holding a small bundle of clothes close to his chest. 

Several questions crossed his mind when Jiang Cheng witnessed such a weak condition of an ever so exuberant and playful Wei Wuxian. He thought of several reasons and possibilities that might have led to this...but the only thought that stood out the most and burned Jiang Cheng's chest with anger towards Lan Wangji was... 'Wei Wuxian had run away from Cloud Recesses with his little belongings in such messy condition because he could not live a single moment more with Lan Wangji.'

Because how else anyone will explain the absence of the jealous and possessive Jade beside his Wei Ying?! It was next to impossible!

And now Jiang Cheng couldn't think of any reason or action Lan Wangji might have said or done that would trigger such a drastic reaction from an idiot lovesick Wei Wuxian.

"Xian ge?!! What happened? How did you come here? That too, in this condition? I didn't see you entering from the door?" Jin Ling said as he helped Wei Ying to stand on his feet and walked him towards the bed
