"Ma, I'm here. It's okay. I'm safe." Even though Hua Xuanyu woke up his mother from his nightmare and kept reassuring him, it took him quite some time to recover. It also took some quality time for his vision to focus after the boy removed his tear stained blindfold.
"A-Yu... My little Yu'er, are you okay? You are safe, right? No injuries, right?" Hua Ying's panicked voice inquired as he struggled against his restraints to get a better look at his son.
"I'm okay. I'm safe, ma... Please calm down. It's just a nightmare. Nothing real." Hua Xuanyu promised, softly caressing his mother's hair and his efforts seemed to be working.
"Then my ying'er... A-Yuan. Is he-"
"What's going on here?" Before Hua Ying could complete his inquiry, Zewu Jun's soft, yet curious voice rang out from the other side of the partition.
"Zewu Jun?!" Hua Ying exclaimed in recognition but before he could warn him not to enter, the older twin of gusu came past the partition, followed by another familiar figure.
"Jiang Cheng." The surprise of seeing him there forced the name out of Hua Ying's mouth as those two men looked somewhat lost seeing the situation in front of them.
"What the hell?!! Who the hell are you? And why are you...-" Jiang Cheng started but not knowing how to continue, he gestured Hua Ying's tied up figure and settled with,
"-Staying here like this?"
"Ask Hanguang Jun." Hua Ying said quite rudely and looked at his son, completely ignoring the-now-angered man.
"The fuck-"
"Young master Hua... If you may, could you please introduce your mother and explain the situation here?" Seeing how Jiang Cheng is about to act out, Zewu Jun stepped in to pacify the situation.
"My mother is Hua Ying. Curtsy Hua Wuxian-"
"Wuxian? As in Wei Wuxian?!" Jiang Cheng picked up, inching closer to the man on the bed.
"A-Cheng..."
"Why is he wearing a veil? Remove it!" Ignoring Zewu Jun's warning tone, the man ordered, earning a glare from the mother and son duo.
"Why should he? It's my mother's will. Who are you to order him around?!" Hua Xuanyu's protests rang out as he stood up between his mother and the angry sect leader.
"Step back!"
"No!!"
"A-Yu..."
"I'm not going to allow some random man to force you. Lan Wangji did enough forcing already, ma!" To his mother's soft plea, Hua Xuanyu replied defensively as his body started emitting a thin resentful aura.
"A-Yu! How are you able to possess resent-"
"YOU! A vile demonic cultivator!!" Disturbing whatever Hua Ying tried to say, Jiang Cheng growled, his purple whip crackling with lively lightning. And that was all it took for Hua Ying to snap.
No one understood what exactly happened since it all happened in a blink of an eye, but the moment Jiang Cheng raised zidian into air, everyone heard the immortal-binding ropes that had been keeping Hua Ying in place break with loud snapping sounds. The next second, Jiang Cheng was found struggling hard to catch his breathing as his body laid on the ground across the room, blood seeping out from his mouth and nose while Hua Xuanyu was safely tucked behind his fuming mother.
"DO NOT DARE TO TOUCH MY SON! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT EVER AGAIN!!" He growled protectively, his voice carrying so much power that it automatically demanded submission. Then he hugged his surprised, yet scared son into his embrace and vanished into a thick cloud of scarlet butterflies with beautiful golden patterns on their wings.
