LAN ZHAN AND WEI YING'S ETERNAL DESTINY BOOK2

CHAPTER 9

Lan Xichen please don't bow to me, I feel very uncomfortable when people do that. Please treat me as you treat your desciples and I won't mind" " Wei Ying...what are you saying...how can I treat you as a desciple when you already obtained your older spiritual self, technically...you're older than me. The least I can do is treat you like I treat my brother. Is that ok with you" Lan Xichen asked Wei Ying who's face instantly lit up and gave a smile that looked like his mother's.

" Well...it that's so then I hope you don't mind me calling you 'Zewu Jun' " Lan Xichen tilted his head to the side in confusion " but why that name and what does it mean? " Wei Ying smiled and shooke his head and turned to look him in the eyes. " To answer your first question, I prefer to call you that because no one will call you will that name, only I will and to answer your second question...you would rather solve problems by talking rather than fighting, you are very patient and your smile holds peace. When you smile everyone's heart melt and even those in anger would calm down with only your reasoning, that's what it means." " Well...i..I don't know what to say...I'm really honoured but still why choose it now? I mean...we haven't to known each other for long." 

" It's true, we haven't. When you found your brother lying in the floor unconscious you should have scolded me, accuse me and most certainly question my intentions. You did the opposite of that, so why do that to someone you you haven't known for long? ". Lan Xichen thought for a second and smiled, finally realising why Wei Ying chose theat name. " Well...that's nothing to ask about, I know you won't hurt Wanji or me or anyone for that matter." " Zewu Jun...do you really know who I am?"  " Well...I just know that you and my brother have been chosen by the Gods to save the mortal world, I also know a little about you regarding your personal life since Wanji doesn't like talking about you that much and the Gods often talk to me but they haven't told me anything outside you being the chosen one"

" That's exactly my point Zewu Jun...so what you're saying is that you don't know if I'm good or bad or both or neither, I'm not trying to confuse you but I'm simply trying to remind you why I chose that name for you. I hope you accept that name cause I will use it more often, others might even use it aswell  but it must be a few people who are allowed. That name is very sacred and the more you're called by it the more the meaning of the name makes youf body and your temperament more calm and understanding. " Lan Xichen was lost of words and Wei Ying looked at him with a serious expression " Zewu Jun,...did you order food this morning for room service?" " Yes I asked the desciples to order the food and deliver it in here, but why are you asking these questions?"

" Reason being that someone tried to poison us, or shall I say successfully poisoned us, but Lan Zhan managed to save me. I would be dead by now if it wasn't for him risking his own life like that to save mine. He's stupid...his could he do that" Wei Ying was upset because he cared for Lan Zhan and he wouldn't like him to put his life at risk to save his, and he was also very worried about him since they didn't know which poison it was or who did it. " He's just like that, you will get used to him when times goes by. If he cares about someone he gives his 100% effort on that person, you should be relived that he is now ok and will wake up soon. " Lan Xichen tried to lessen Wei Ying's Sadness but nothing worked so he didn't answer Lan Xichen because he was blaming himself for the state Lan Zhan is in.

" So which item on the tray did you eat? I can check what kind of poison was added, thanks to the Gods and you two" Lan Xichen's smile never left his face and Wei Ying stood up gesturing for him to follow him to the table where the food was. He pointed to the tea cups they drank from, Lan Xichen picked one of then cups up and closed his eyes and breathed in and out to realx himself. He sniffed the cup Lan Zhan was drinking out of first opened his eyes and seemed like he was thinking of something and put the cup down. He smelled the other cup when he opened his eyes he was shocked. " Wei Ying! The tea was poisoned...and the cups as well. The poison from the cup I sniffed first was not too much, but the second was heavily poisoned and drinking from it alone without the tea being poisoned would kill in an instant.  That's strange..." Lan Xichen was so worried and when he liked at Wei Ying he saw that Wei Ying had a feeling of relief on his face.

Wei Ying was indeed relieved because the cup which was heavily poisoned was his, not Lan Zhan's. But he confused Lan Xichen by his actions and further when he smiled and Lan Xichen knew he had to ask. " Wei Ying...why are you smiling? Shouldn't you be worried about this whole thing? "  " Zewu Jun...you don't understand, of course I'm worried but I'm relieved at the same time. The cup that was heavily poisoned was mine and I can't imagine if Lan Zhan drank from it and he saved me and not himself while he was dying. If something was to happen to him– " Wei Ying didn't finish his sentence as if he had fear that of something that almost happened. He was worried about Lan Zhan more than he was of himself and that's what Lan Xichen understood from the whole explanation.

" Don't worry Zewu Jun, I'm left handed and I saw that Lan Zhan right handed she be picked the cup of tea to drink, this means that the poison was meant for me and even if Lan Zhan drank from it he would have met with the same results as now, but...who did this? No one knows me except for the merchants around here because I begged for food from them and some if them I even helped and they would pay a silver as a thank you. I don't know anyone who would want to ki–"
