Chapter 14: Anger
"Lan Zhan, did you know? The Gusu Lan Sect's forehead ribbon means "to regulate one's self"?"
Wei Wuxian blabbered, blushing in the process. "Your forehead ribbon can only be touched by family and cultivation partner..."
His heart raced at the thought of being Lan Wangji's cultivation partner.
"It basically means marriage and you never stopped me from touching it! How dare you not tell me?! I just got married without knowing!"
He laughed, a large smile formed on his lips as his eyes sparkled in joy. "You should have told me about it! Even if I don't agree you can just force me!"
"Force you what?"
"Marriage of course-" Wei Wuxian froze and looked back only to see Jiang Wanyin glaring at his form.
"So this is where you've been for these past years of going AWOL."
Jiang Wanyin set his gaze on the small hill next to his sworn brother. His frown deepened. "Why do you still visit his grave after everything that he had done? He is evil. He doesn't care about you."
This time, it was Wei Wuxian's turn to frown. "Jiang Cheng, mind your tongue."
"It's not like I'm lying. How many Lanling Cultivators he had killed? Two Sect leaders were eliminated by him!"
Wei Wuxian stood up and glared at Jiang Wanyin. "You are in front of his grave! Should've at least respect the dead."
Jiang Wanyin tightened his grip on his sword, Sandu. "Wei Wuxian! Have you forgotten how much he hates you?! Why do you still defend him when he himself does not care about you?!"
"You don't know him like I do, Jiang Cheng. He is a man who doesn't show his emotions. I've seen him and I know he has his reasons."
Lan Wangji is a man who hides their emotions.
However, when you've got to know him you'll realize...
His eyes speak everything.
His words carry hidden meanings.
That's what Wei Wuxian have come to know by the time he saw those memories. He saw the all of Lan Wangji.
In his heart, Wei Wuxian is everything.
"Really? For what reasons does he have for him to defy his elders and put shame into his own clan?" The purple robed man questioned.
"He only intends to protect everyone! Those people he killed were not as innocent as you think!"
Jiang Wanyin flinched at Wei Wuxian's outburst. Seeing the tears that pooled in his sworn brother's eyes made him slightly guilty.
Though his pride is higher than the clouds, "To protect?! That man killed Jin Ling's uncles with the use of such wicked methods!"
"Because he doesn't have a choice!" This time, Wei Wuxian had tears streaming down his face. "He got his core melted by Wen Zhuliu."
"What?" Jiang Wanyin was shocked at the statement. He then recalled during the fights Lan Wangji had against them.
He didn't notice he seldom used his sword!
"He helped defend our Sect from the Wens and he lost his core. If it's not because of him, Madam Yu and Jiang-Shushu would've been dead by now!"
Jiang Wanyin couldn't believe what he was hearing. It sounded impossible because of the fact that during the attack, Wei Wuxian is with him.
"I-Is that right Wei-gongzi?" A voice came from their side. It was unstable as if they were about to shed tears.
The two looked and found a man clad in Gusu Lan Sect's white robes. His fingers tightly curved into a fist.
