It was now the evening, the two had just finished eating dinner and were walking around, when they heard someone shouting. From the gates, the voice familiar to Wei Ying who immediately recondnized to who that voice belongs too. Lan Zhan on the other hand had no idea who was causing all the commotion, but he did hear that it was a woman. He started to walk to see what the problem was when he felt someone grip his sleeve. He turned around to see why Wei Ying was holding him back, but when he faced him, he was confused as too why the younger had a scared and anxious look on his face." Lan Zhan, can we not go there?". Asked Wei Ying, who was visibly scaring." Why is Wei Ying scared?". Asked the older of the two, who started to be more concerned over his lover." Well uhm, that woman is...Madam Yu". He said. Lan Zhan looked at him sympathetically and came closer to hug him." There is no need to worry, I protect Wei Ying". Said Lan Zhan, this time understanding why he was scared, and trying to reassure him that everything is going to be ok, because as long as Lan Zhan was there, no one will ever be able to even come close to Wei Ying because of how protective and possessive he is over the younger.

Still a little hesitant, he decided that at the end, nothing can happen because Lan Zhan was with him, and it was time for Wei Ying to finally stop being scared of the Jiang's, especially Madam Yu. Knowing that Jiang Cheng, he was probably there too, and he wasn't going to just stay quiet. They both made their way to the gates,although Wei Ying was basically hugging Lan Zhan's arm and was practically hiding behind him.

As they finally stopped, Madam Yu finally stopped screaming at the poor guard, who walked away as soon as he noticed Lan Zhan coming. When her eyes set on the young boy, her eyes filled with anger, but at the same smiling evily in her head. Planning all the horrible ways of punishing the boy." Hello young master Lan, I am here to take Wei Wuxian home, and don't worry, i will make sure to teach him a lesson for breaking your rules". Stated the woman, not knowing that her son had fed her lies and that there are no chances that Lan Zhan would let Wei Ying go, especially knowing how he is treated." I'm sorry Madam Yu, but Wei Ying is going to stay in Gusu, with me". He stated, not caring about honorifics, leaving the woman shocked, but she can't really do anything about it, knowing the amount of backlash she would receive for mistreating the biggest clan, and more precisely, the young master Lan, who is one of the most respected people in the cultivation world.

So she tried being less agressive." But i wouldn't want to burden you with having to keep Wei Wuxian". She said as fakingly nice as possible." Wei Ying is not a burden, he and i will actually get engaged, so he is staying here and i don't want to disrespect you and the rest of the Jiang's, but the way that you and the Jiang clan have treated Wei Ying is inhumain". He said, his patience for the woman running thin. To say that she was shocked would be an understatement, Wei Wuxian? Getting married? And with the young master of the Lan's on the top of that. That would be a great way to become a bigger clan, not to mention the amount of power that they would get.

So she decided to finally agree and stay here, her hunger for power the most important thing on her mind right now." Very well then, I will drop the matter." She said, her son's protests being heard heard in the background." But mother". He said trying to not let his anger be shown, at least as much as he could hide it. The mother turned around and said in a hushed voice." Son, think about all the power we will have if this brat actually married Young Master Lan". Her son's eyes widened, but then he quickly smirked and agreed with his mother.

Meanwhile, this did not go unheard by the younger Lan." Wei Ying, the only reason she will let you here is because she thinks she will get more power". He said, also in a hushed voice making sur that no one else heard." Honestly Lan Zhan, let her be, as long as you are by my side and i don't have to go back there, I am happy". He said while smiling at Lan Zhan. The two Jiang's finally left and the two lovers were finally at peace.

They decided to go back to the Jingshi as they were planning earlier, as it was quite late now. Deciding that probably everyone was already asleep, they both decided on telling Xichen about what happened tomorrow when they see him. After some time they were in there confortable clothes and laid on the bed, exhausted after the day,and what had just happened too.

Wei Ying cuddled up to Lan Zhan who put his hand around his waist, holding him tightly." Goodnight Lan Zhan". Said Wei Ying as he finally closed his eyes to sleep." Goodnight Wei Ying". Answered Lan Zhan, finally falling asleep too.
