LAN ZHAN AND WEI YING'S ETERNAL DESTINY BOOK2

CHAPTER 63

Lan Zhan felt like his words would betray him, so he spoke against his heart. " No token no entry, " Wei Ying was sick of their attitude and was about to speak out if turn when Lan Zhan put a silencing charm on Wei Ying's mouth and didn't avert his gaze. Wei Ying mummered and an on Lan Zhan's back but Lan Zhan turned away and walked through the gate, leaving his heart behind.

He didn't want to put a silencing charm on Wei Ying, but he had to, for his own heart not to betray him infront of all those who were around them. It was the first time he silenced someone for no apparent reason, he hated it, but if he was to hear Wei Ying make another sound, the it would be hard for him to convince him otherwise. Jiang desciples and siblings saw this, but they thought that's the way Cloud Rescessess's rules were, nit knowing that Lan Zhan was only trying to protect himself from his heart that was pounding like it wanted to come out.

Wei Ying continued to murmur and looking at Jiang Cheng for help, but the Lan desciple told them " young master Lan had put a silencing charm on you and it will only wear off in a few minutes, please do not force it or you will hurt yourself." Jiang Cheng was devastated, he didn't like what Lan Zhan had done to his martial brother, but could he have done. If only he knew why it happened. He looked at Wei Ying who was busy tugging his sleeve for help and he sighed heavily. He was helpless, how did Wei Ying think he would help or hear what he wanted to say to him, I mean his lips were sealed. If only he knew that Lan Zhan loved him enough to only seal his lips, he was capable of sealing ones vocal cord not only lips.

Lan Zhan continued to walk as he climbed the rocky stairs into Cloud Rescessess, he stopped for a second and tried to pull himself together. He tried to calm his heart down but it wouldn't let him, as he stood there trying to breathe, he heard Wei Ying's murmur and he looked to his side to listen more carefully. He heard that Wei Ying was struggling and because he was at a safe distance, he decided to lift off the charm. After lifting it off the murmurs died down, it even sounded like Wei Ying became silence after he lifted it off. He continued to walk in and met his brother who was listening to everything that was said and done. He smiled as Lan Zhan approached and  Lan Zhan stood infront of him to greet him.

He had gone for night hunt with a few desciples for four days because of the distance, the distance wasn't a problem to him but, the desciples didn't have his level of power and energy so he walked slow but they were slower because he was the first to enter Cloud Rescessess leaving his desciples behind. " Wangji...why did you silence that desciple? He didn't do anything wrong or say anything that would upset you." Lan Xichen looked straight in his brother's eyes and he saw a spark, a spark like no other. He had seen it once in his life and she he saw it again he knew, he knew time had come. He gasped and asked " Wangji...is he..is..is he Wei Ying?" His eyes were bulged and his breath hitching and delaying his question, when Lan Zhan didn't answer but choose to look away, he got the answer he needed. He was shocked but happy

" Shijie...I will go get the token you and others wait here, I'm responsible since I caused so much trouble for you at that time that you forgot it. I'm sorry. I will be back in a few hours, Jiang Cheng...take care of shijie alright?" Then Wei Ying left without waiting to be answered, he knew his shijie would only allow him to go with Jiang Cheng and not alone. But the thing was...he wanted to be alone, for the first time in his life he wanted to be alone. All these years when he was living in the streets, he took comfort in knowing that the old lady was there looking out for him, even when he was told off by the stall keepers he didn't mind as long as someone was talking to him. even though he didn't remember some things, he had a feeling like there were others looking out for him before he went to Lotus Cove.

That day of all days, Wei Ying felt like he needed space from everyone and everything. His heart was still acting strange and he wanted it to stop. He felt like he had felt a feeling like that sometime ago,an even though he didn't remember when or where, he felt like that memory was erched deep in his cardiac muscles. His head was about to explode with questions his heart kept asking his brain, if the heart is the only memory that was left with memories then it was useless to ask the mind. The mind can only interfere if the heart let's it, but the heart had its own possessiveness of the one it kept inside and not letting anyone or anything else inside. Then who or even what was to be blamed for loosing the memory of its heartbeat?

The smell wine woke his mind up as he passed by the stalls and when he liked up from the ground, he saw that it was almost dark and he had arrived. His heart still kept asking questions which no one would answer, so he decided to get himself the most famous Gusu emperors smile. He had a sip before he even paid for it, and he was impressed, it was indeed the best wine he had ever drank. He paid the wine sellers and told him to wait for him to come back and he would buy two more jars from him. The wine sellers was more than happy to wait, even though other stalls were already packing their merchandise and others had long gone, the wine sellers still chose to wait for him.

He went inside the Inn and told the Inn keeper why he was there, and the Inn keeper told him that a young master had brought it to him a few minutes after Wei Ying and others left. He kept thinking who that was until he remembered "uuhhm...did that young master wear clothes with gold trimmings? " "Aah yes..yes..yes..that's him, he was the one who threw my most expensive tea across the room and said it was stale. Huh!..(sigh) young generations of these days don't care whose toe they step on huh!" He gave Wei Ying the token and continued to dust the counters." Thank you"  Wei Ying turned around and left, he wondered why would Jin Zixuan personally give the Inn keeper the token to safe keep it for them, he could've told a desciple to bring it or leave it in the room. He sighed and left the Inn as he remembered that he made a wine sellers wait for him.
