Wangxian : Oracle Of Pearl

I am what....

"Hanguang-jun can you please repeat what you said earlier. I think I misheard it " Yanli muttered her voice unusually calm , sending chills in every one bone .

Wangji ! don't you know Lying is forbidden. Why are you lying now " Lan qiren scolded yet his voice held a hopeful edge to it ...edge begging Wangji to tell his earlier statement as lie.

"Uncle , Wangji apologies for causing trouble to you and Lan sect but i didn't lie. I and ....Wei ying are married for 2 and half years now according to lan traditions "he says, as his eyes rises to meet Lan qiren to show the sincerity of the sentence.

Silence prevails in the room as every sect blinks their eyes as if trying to wake up from a dream.

Uncle," he says, and his shoulders are drawn back, his posture immaculate. There's no hesitation in his eyes, in his voice, when he says, "Wei Ying and I have already made our bows. To Heaven and Earth, to our ancestors, and to each other. It is done. Immortal Lan yi blessed our marriage " he continued keeping his eyes on Lan qiren...who looks so red and verge of passing out

"Lan Zhan what are you talking about, I don't remember any marriage between us. I think you are hallucinating " Wei Wuxian said , his worry for Lan Zhan very clear on his face. ...making Wangji guilty.

Wei ying, we are married " Lan Zhan said , his tone changing soft and small without hard edges

How?" This the part Wei Ying was stuck on. How could Lan Zhan think they were married? He felt like he would remember if he'd married someone.

"Gusu Lan Sect has an alternative marriage ceremony. Binding yourself with the forehead ribbon and receiving the approval of an elder is enough." He said making Wei Wuxian mouth open and close like fish.... probably speechless.

"But it's just so....I mean, come on. It's completely unreasonable! No, unpractical! It's insane, it's.....it's....at the very least" Jiang Cheng spluttered in shock , unable to digest the news.

Wei Ying felt his jaw drop open. "But Lan Zhan ... that was ages ago." he murmured in daze

"Yes," Lan Zhan said, seeming more comfortable now that the facts were disclosed.

"And you didn't tell me." Wei ying accused

Lan Zhan at least had the grace to look a little ashamed, casting his glance down towards the floor. "i don't want you to accept me or forced to be with me , just because we are married. I want you to choose me out of love .....not accept me out of responsibility "

On hearing those words, Lan Xichen returns to the world of living . He forces himself to reform and moved the unwanted thoughts and feelings aside for his brother. When the time is right , he will ask Wangji all questions but now he is needed here to play the big brother role.

"A-xian, I know you're shocked and probably angry.I won't fault you but can i request you to listen to Wangji first before you take any decision. Consider this as request from brother not as a words of sect leader. Please give Wangji a chance to explain himself " Lan Xichen pleads looking at Wei Wuxian as he is Lan Xichen only light in darkness.

On seeing it Jiang Cheng become more angry , first Lan Wangji married his brother without informing anyone...not even Wei Wuxian and now Lan Xichen is shamelessly pleading for his brother...he wondered what wrong with the ever righteous Lan sect.

" There is nothing to discuss, don't you think your brother had done enough damage . As soon as this is over , Wei Wuxian will divorce Lan Wangji ....there is nothing to hear about it. You're brother forced married my brother literally and kept it secret for years " Jiang Cheng bellowed making everyone feel his anger.
