Xiao Zhan/ Wei ying

Li Fei

“What?” both Haoxuan and Sean asked at the same time.
“It’s not bad, as long as it’s not white,” Sean said while checking his new look.
“Yeah, you look quite good, da-ge,” Fie complimented.
“Well, thank you, A-Fie.”
“And what about me?” Haoxuan pouted.
“You look great too, er-ge. The color suits both of you.”
The others looked at them, slightly mesmerized—especially Lan Zhan.
Wei Ying… he thought.
“Anyway, where should we start looking for Grandma?” Sean asked Lan Zhan’s group.
“Ge, earlier we were talking about what might happen to Sect Leader Jiang and Sect Leader Lan. We decided to wait until the archery event ends before we move. We’re planning to avoid the incident,” Fie explained.
“What? And what about the butterfly effect? Did you even think about that?” Sean asked angrily.
“Listen here, Li Fie. If that butterfly effect backfires on you, remember that we are only mortals here—not immortals or cultivators like them. We are here to find Grandma as soon as possible so we can go back to our world and help Uncle Dao.”
With that, he stood up and stormed out of the inn.
Haoxuan looked at his younger brother.
“You know da-ge is only worried that something might happen to you. Even though He Na and Ying Yuan are strong enough to protect us… we can’t avoid fate, Fie.”
He paused before continuing quietly.
“I know you just want to help… but did you forget what happened to us six years ago? In this world, it’s only the three of us. We can’t trust anyone else. It might lead to the same mistake as before.”
Everyone was shocked and widened their eyes at Haoxuan’s words.
He had clearly said that they couldn’t trust anyone.
“I understand. I’m very sorry, ge,” Fie said, lowering his head.
“But… if you really want to help, then I’ll support you.”
He flicked Fie’s forehead.
“Ow, er-ge!” Fie complained cutely.
Everyone smiled at the two brothers.
Then Fie suddenly hugged him.
“But what about da-ge?”
“As if you don’t know him. When it comes to our safety, he suddenly turns into an assassin and kills anyone who stands against him.”
The two giggled, and Fie nodded.
“He just has a hard time trusting strangers. You know that.”
Fie nodded again.
Sean walked around the market when he suddenly realized someone was following him.
He turned and glared.
“Why are you following me?” he snarled.
“New here. Might get lost,” the man answered calmly.
“You know I’m not in the mood, right? So get lost,” Sean snapped.
The man in white stopped walking when he heard the harsh words.
Just like before…
The same cold rejection as the day he died.
Back then, he had returned to his clan to accept punishment. After that, he had planned to leave everything behind and go after the person he loved.
But he was too late.
And he regretted leaving him alone that day.
If he hadn’t left… maybe he would still be alive.
But now he was back.
And this time, he would never leave him alone again—even if he pushed him away over and over.
“No,” he said firmly.
Sean frowned in annoyance and stomped away.
Lan Zhan followed him.
After walking around for an hour, Sean finally returned to the inn.
Everyone was there.
“Da-ge!” the two called out.
“I know you’ve already decided,” Sean said calmly. “So I’ll start looking for Grandma first.”
“But da-ge—”
“No excuses. After you save him, follow after me. He Na and Ying Yuan will go with you.”
“But ge, it’s too dangerous for you to travel alone.”
“Nah. You know I can protect myself. In our world, no one can defeat me.”
Then he turned to Ying Yuan and He Na.
“Please protect them.”
The two bowed solemnly, as if promising with their lives.
“Then it’s time for our departure. A-Xuan, no matter what, don’t leave A-Fie’s side. You two must stay together. Keep an eye on them both.”
He bowed slightly.
“I will leave their safety to you.”
“Ge…” the two brothers said as they hugged him.
“Be safe, okay? Look after each other and always stay on guard.”
He kissed both of their foreheads one by one.
“Now go.”
The two nodded, trying not to cry.
Sean turned his back.
A stream of tears ran down his face, but he quickly wiped them away.
His brothers were strong.
They could protect themselves.
And Ying Yuan and He Na were there too.
He believed in them.
Sean sighed and turned around again.
“Why are you still following me?”
The man simply walked past him as if he hadn’t heard.
“Hey! Did you even hear me?”
“Mn.”
“Then why are you here?!”
No answer.
“I told you already—I’m going to look for Grandma alone!”
“Wei Ying has no money for travel. Wei Ying might go hungry and sleep outside. Dogs are everywhere,” the man said calmly.
Sean flinched at the word dogs.
How did this stone-faced man know he was afraid of dogs?
But he had a point.
Money in this world was different.
And Sean didn’t know this place.
So this stone face… was his only useful asset for now.
Sean huffed and followed him.
Lan Zhan secretly smirked.
“And who are you calling Wei Ying? My name isn’t Wei Ying. It’s Sean. Xiao. Zhan.” He emphasized each word.
But the man didn’t react at all.
Sean became even more annoyed.
