Ghost

Part 1

Wei Wuxian found himself standing in the courtyard of Cloud Recesses. That last thing he remembers was that he fell to his death from the cliff at Nightless City. He remembered Lan Wangji holding on to his arm for dear life until Jiang Wanyin pierced the side of the cliff with his sword. Seeing that Lan Wangji would fall to his death too, if the cliff were to crumble, Wei Wuxian yanked his hand away. He smiled at the last thing he heard.

"Wei Ying!"

He died knowing that someone still remembers him.

No matter how much his heart beat for Lan Wangji, the deaths of his Wen Family, Wen Qing and Wen Ning, Jin Zixuan, and his beloved Shijie, broke his heart too much. He felt his life no longer having value and that he deserved to love anyone or be loved ever again. He thought, because of this unorthodox path, Lan Wangji would not love him. He would just try to make him a prisoner.

Boy was he so wrong!

His spirit was standing in Cloud Recesses. Cloud Recesses had wards to keep resentful spirits and ghouls out, so how did Wei Wuxian make it in?

Help him! A voice told him

"Help who?"

Help your lover!

"I have no lover, I am not worthy of love."

You are worthy of love. He loves you so much. Help him!

Wei Wuxian was confused, "He?" He questioned.

His thoughts were interrupted by a commotion from the Yashi (Elegance Room/Also the place where discipline his handed out). Wei Wuxian ran over, as he was a spirit, he did not have to worry about rules. When he reached the crowded area, he saw a couple disciples restraining Lan Xichen, he could not move and his lips were sealed with the silence spell. It was a strong spell as he could not even force it. It meant that one of the elders placed it and only they could removed it.

Lan Qiren stood before Wei Wuxian, his back facing him. Lan Qiren had the Lan Sect's silver discipline whip. It was a whip in which spiritual energy is infused with and the power from the whip causes extreme pain, and the aftermath of the whip would leave scars so severe that it could damage tissues, muscles, even bones.

"What is the Old Goat doing?" Wei Wuxian asked.

He peered around Lan Qiren and saw Lan Wangji kneeling, his robes stripped from him, leaving him in his trousers and his back covered in blood, and whip lashings. He saw Lan Qiren winding up to strike again, but he was suddenly thrown across the room as Wei Wuxian used a lot of his energy to grab the whip and yank it as hard as he could. Wei Wuxian blinked a couple times before he realized he had just thrown an elder, but he stopped Lan Qiren from hitting his nephew.

Still filled with adrenaline, Wei Wuxian grabbed the whip, and sent more energy through it, causing it to turn to ash. Everyone there was so confused as to what was happening. Wei Wuxian walked over to Lan Xichen and shoved the people away from him who held him from moving. He even sent more energy to help release the silence spell.

Lan Xichen gasped as the spell made it hard for him to breathe but he was also holding his breath as he could only watch his Didi get whipped. Lan Xichen did not care about anything that happened just now, and carefully picked up Wangji and took him to get his back treated.

Wei Wuxian stayed and with more energy he made his spirit visible for only Lan Qiren to see, "Hurt Lan Zhan again, even if you are his family, and I will kill you!" Wei Wuxian threatened, "I am now a spirit, and you know I never went through a soul cleansing ceremony, as I was never apart of a sect when that was to take place. So piss me off, and the more resentment I will gain. I will protect Lan Zhan from now on."
