Marked

Chapter 2-classroom

"What a coincidence, we meet again"

Lan WangJi didn't say anything but just watched. When he got no response, he tried again "umm. Second young master, it's very late. Are you here to enjoy the glorious moon"

But Lan WangJi didn't reply. The disciple cleared his throat "second young master Lan, i am here to look for my companions. I have the invitation with me, here look" he said and then took out the invitation showing it to him.

"You broke the wall and disobeyed the Lan Clan rule. Nobody is allowed in at daybreak" Lan WangJi finally answered. The disciple was surprised "It's my first visit to cloud recesses, and I do not know your rules." The disciples raised three fingers toward the sky as a promise "But I promise I won't break your rules anymore, moreover I was in a rush to look for Jiang Cheng and Shijie" he paused and then look at Lan WangJi

"How about this. You let me go inside and have a look. I just want to have a look" The disciple stood up and was about to leave when he was blocked with Bichen. The disciple tried again, "If you agree, I will give you a jar and you pretend you never saw me, okay?"

The four Junior's mouth dropped open when they saw the disciple offering Hanguang-Jun emperor's smile. "He is really brave, offering wine to Hanguang-Jun like that." Lan Jingyi whispered in awe.

"This Hanguang-Jun is much stricter than his future self" Ouyang Zi Zhen remarked "Right Sizhui?"

Lan Sizhui nodded "Yes, father is not that strict. He would relax some. He is nothing like his older self" This Lan WangJi is exactly like his name, free of worldly concerns. "Something must have changed him"

"Bribing the guard double guilt" Lan WangJi replied as the young man frowned "Second young master Lan, you cannot be unreasonable, you forbid me to speak at the gate with no reason. Do you think you should bear a few responsibilities" The disciple pushed back Bichen into her sheath and then look at him for a few seconds before running away. But before he could get further, Lan WangJi stopped him again.

The Juniors watched in awe as they fought, form one roof to other. They looked so powerful while fighting, neither of them gained upper hand at each other as if they are equals.

"Guys, I think we found another person who could have placed the mark" Ouyang Zi Zhen said as he watched the two senior's fight. The rest couldn't even disagree because they all can see how they both were at equal footing. Hanguang-Jun even lost if they counted that the disciple's sword was not sheathed. But how was that possible? If he is the reason who marked Sizhui then where is he? Is he dead. But Hanguang-Jun clearly told Sizhui to look for the answers himself. To solve the mystery they would have to watch everything. only then would they find the answers. 

In the end they both stopped and lowered their swords and just looked at each other. Both looked surprised the other could keep up with them.

"I have something to do. I'm leaving" The disciple turned around to leave but Lan WangJi attacked him again and the fight started again. They flew from one roof to other, Lan WangJi attacked while the disciple defended.

In one such attack the bottle of wine from the disciple's hand slipped. He immediately dived toward it and managed to catch one with his hand and the other with is sword. But the one of the swords fell and crashed. The disciples looked sad that the bottle fell he immediately turned to look at Lan WangJi "Lan Zhan! You should pay for my emperor's smile"

The memory ended after that, and the talisman was burned to dust. The four of them look at each other saying nothing. "We should go, it's getting late. The patrol's will be here soon" the four of them walked toward Sizhui's room.
