Wei Ying and Jiang Yanli left Jin Zixuan still standing by the door. Jiang Yanli's hopes for Jin Zixuan to tell him directly if he wanted the marriage or not were crushed yet again. Wei Ying saw how they liked at each other and how his shijie was holding her tears in just so she didn't break down infront of him as they ascended the stairs. He didn't say anything either, when they reached the door Jiang Yanli was escorted by their female clan desciples and Wei Ying waited for Jiang Cheng to come back by the Inn entrance.


Jiang Cheng came back and was surprised to see his jiejie's condition and he asked Wei Ying. " What happened...? Why is jiejie that sad?" " Is it not that peacock 他...他 tā...tā..(*he...he*)–.." " Wei Ying got so upset that he didn't even finish his sentence, he hated to see his shijie like that. " Wei Wuxian...what can we say...they are engaged and there's nothing we can do about it. I just wish he treated jiejie better." " You mean...that peacock and shijie are...are..." " Yes...she there's nothing we can do about it, and don't interfere either" " Jiang Cheng...what makes you think shijie likes him? " " Just look at her...it's written all over her face" they nodded to each other and followed others.



" Jiang Cheng...how do can you tell if someone loves the other? Aren't you too little to know about love..ha..ha..ha, look at you being all serious explaining to me, ayi...our calm leader is growing up real fast huh ha..ha..ha" " mxm. Wei Wuxian...stop teasing me, anyway...I'm not really that young, and I know about love and you should too since you always flirt with every female you see, guh! " Jiang Cheng scoffed and Wei Ying bumped his shoulder with his seeing his upset he was. He really liked his reactions when he teased him.


They finally arrived in Cloud Rescessess and they were standing at the gate while the guard wanted to see an invitation before they would come in. They searched themselves until Jiang Yanli remembered that she had put it on the table back in the Inn, she had forgotten it because she had heard Wei Ying talking to Jin Zixuan outside and she feared that Wei Ying would start a fight as he always did when it came to people who bothered his shijie. She told them that she forgot it at the Inn and that she was sorry for causing them trouble. Wei Ying then tried to reason with the guard to let then in but the guard told them they cannot enter without it. They stood there for a while still trying to convince the desciple to let them in when the guard suddenly stood straight and politely smiled.



When Wei Ying looked to his direction he saw a young man coming down the stone stairs towards the entrance where they were. The  Jiang clan desciples turned around when they heard a smooth clanking noise coming from behind them and their eyes bulged out while their mouths were left open, awed by the elegant man coming towards them. His waist pendant collided with the jade token that hung closely on his waist belt, his posture was like nothing they had ever seen before and his movements when he walked seemed to be calculated.



Every stride and every clank with his back upright was like a God was descending down from the heavenly realm. He was like a dream any woman had ever had for a man, the male desciples were not different from females. Their expressions were the same as females as some of them worshiped him for his good-looking appearance and his handsome face with smooth features, his jawline lined like it was carved out if clay and his face like ice. He came down and all the desciples made way for him like he was king of the world, admiring him as he passed by.



Wei Ying expression was somehow different, he was stunned, his ears went red and his eyes were too focused on Lan Zhan that he even forgot to breathe. Jiang Cheng looked at him and his expression confused him, he didn't know if he was stunned or scared but he could see that he was holding his breath. Wei Ying's look never left Lan Zhan's face and somehow everything played in slow motion for him, Lan Zhan's posture, his every step and his icy cold face were sending jolts to his heart. When Lan Zhan passed by infront of them, Wei Ying thought that he was floating and nit walking. No walk was that smooth and swift like that.




His scent triggered nostalgia from the past as he felt like his breath was slowly sucked away from him lungs. All sorts of feelings were awaken from inside his heart and he didn't know what it was making all the rush of blood from his exited heart taint his face red. His heart ached like he was crying and all this felt like eternity when it was just a few seconds. Jiang Cheng who was standing besides him, admiring one of the Twin Jades blinked a few times to get his mind out of his own magical world he was in when he saw Lan Zhan. He looked at Wei Ying and he saw that he was also in a magical world of his own, but that world was becoming too intoxicating for him decided to help him out.




He nudged Wei Ying's shoulder and he Wei Ying didn't respond to it, his eyes were still on the mist beautiful man he had ever seen. He tried again and again and when he saw that he was not successful, he stood infront of him, blocking his view from what's threatening to explode his heart. He was finally able to get him out successfully when he blinked his eyes a couple of times and looked around. He looked at him again and he saw that Lan Zhan was talking to the desciple at the gate, he wanted to look again when he was suddenly disturbed by a few desciples coming in the same way Lan Zhan did carrying what looked like an injured man on a stretcher.

The man didn't move and it looked like he was dead as everyone saw, but Wei Ying begged to differ. " What do you think happened to that man, is there a way to kill a man like that without leaving injuries?" " Jiang Cheng...what do you mean dead?  To me it looks like some kind of enchantment  or maybe evil spirits. And don't curse him like that, he's not dead but something is wrong with his spirit, maybe it was snatched or something like that."
