Because of Wei Ying's weak state of his body, he got a very high fever. It took the healers four days to bring it down while feeding him medicine very slowly. All the while, Lan Zhan was sitting in a corner with wanji on his lap, playing healing music. Every now and then looking towards the cot where Wei Ying was laying. His fever broke on the fifth day.

Healer Lan sponges him down and puts on some clean under robes that were hopelessly too big for him, but that will do. Lan Qiren would come by every two hours just to see how he was doing. The healers in form him that the boys fever finally broke now all they have to do is wait for him to wake up. Lan Qiren had talked to the elders, and it was decided that he would adopt the boy to give him more protection in case someone wants to try something or take him away.

He will be part of the inner Lan family, and his name will be added to the registry. When he informed the elders of his second gender none of them had an  answer. They have never heard or dealt with someone like Wei Ying. They will wait and see, and to hear that their Second Jade is a true alpha makes them very proud because the last one was their ancestor Lan An not even Lan Zhan's father had been one. But still, they don't know what entitle it to be a True Male Omega. Their are on foreign ground here. One thing is for sure they can not let the other clans find out about the two. For now, it's a clan secret, and only the elders, Lan Qiren, Lan Zhan, and Lan Xichen, know.

Five days after Wei Ying's fever broke, he slowly started to open his eyes. He looked at a white ceiling he slowly started to move his head, and everything was white, but it also smelled like medicine. There's a faint smell that he can't place. It smells like sandalwood. He likes it, it makes him feel calm and not so anxious. He groans sofly when he tries to lift his head. He heard soft footsteps coming towards the bed. There, next to his bed, stood the most beautiful angel he had ever seen. He surely must be in heaven. Then the boys asked if he wanted some water, and all he could do was nods his head because every time he tried to open his mouth, no words came out.

The boy lifts his head slowly and tells him not to drink so fast he silently obeys. When he finally found his voice, he could not help but ask.

"Are you an angel? Am I in heaven?."

The boy shook his head no and introduced himself to Wei Ying.

" My name is Lan Zhan, and you are in the Cloud Recess."

Wei Ying's voice is still a bit raspy, but he still asked Lan Zhan.

"The Cloud Recess? What am I doing here? How did I get here? Madam Yu is gonna be very angry, and this time, she might just kill me. I'm not supposed to talk to anybody. Please, you have to take me back before she realises I'm gone. "

Wei Ying spoke in a frantic and scared voice his eyes were wide in it's sockets as he looked frantically around than at Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan didn't know what to say or do. But what he felt in this moment after listening to what Wei Ying said he couldn't help but to get angry. Right at that moment, healer Lan came in one look at the young masters face she knows something is wrong

"I see our little patient is finally awake. Second Young Master could you please go and call your uncle while I examine this young master?."

Lan Zhan nodded his head and walked out. The healer looked at Wei Ying with a soft smile she could feel the fear and anxiety rolling of him.

"Don't be scared, little one. I won't hurt you. I just want to help you. Do you mind if I examine you first?."

Wei Ying looks at her eyes full of mistrust and fear. He is not supposed to be here. Nobody has ever cared about his well-being. They will see that his a nobody and lock him away just like madam Yu did.

"You don't have to. I'm fine. I always heal myself. The healers are not supposed to do it. Please just take me back. I don't know how far you are from the YunmengJiang sect, but if we leave now, we can reach there before Madame Yu discover that I'm gone. "

Wei Ying looked at her with those big silvery grey eyes who were now filled with tears and fear. His hands are playing with the quilt, and his body is starting to shake. She had no choice but to release her soothing pheromones to calm him down while holding him tightly and making soothing circles on his back while humming a soft tune. Wei Ying slowly started to relax at that moment the three Lans came in she mouth to them to be quiet. Finally, Wei Ying starts to relax, and his body goes slack as he falls asleep. Healer Lan looked down at him and started to examine him. An ever-present frown on her face.

"The boy has a golden core. It's not as strong, but it's there. We can work with that. His energy is a bit different. "

She said with a thoughtful voice.

"What do you mean by different?."

Lan Qiren asked.

"I don't know how to explain it. It's almost like it's dormant. Like there's something there but just out of reach. What do you know of his heritage? There must be something there. "

The healer explains.

"  His mother was Cangse Sanren, a disciple of the Immortal Boashan Sanren and his father Wei Changze the righthand man of sect Leader Jiang. That's about all I know about his parents. Why did you ask healer Lan?."

Lan Qiren told her what he knows of Wei Ying's parents and heritage.

"There is no particular reason. It's always good to know who the parents are. The other thing we need him to talk to the mind healers. He will need to start healing. At the moment, he's not very trusting, which is understandable. I don't know what he went through, but from what he said, it was nothing good. I don't understand how a woman who calls herself a mother could treat a child like this. May the gods strike her dead. "

healer Lan says the last parts through gritted teeth and anger were evident in her voice and on her face.

" Healer Lan, you can't wish death on another person."

Xichen said with shock.

" Oh, but I can and just did young master. She's nothing but a coward to strike and abuse a child. So if I want to wish a hundred painful deaths on her person. I sure as hell will do it. "

She said with fury in her eyes and her voice as she looked Lan Xichen.

"People like her don't deserve to live. They deserve to suffer. There now our A-Ying can rest nicely. Lan Qiren he told us to take him back before that, witch realised his missing. I would appreciate it if you could explain things to him when he wakes up. And please work on your peoples skills and try to talk with a soothing and calm voice. You know, put a little feeling in it. "

She said while Lan Qiren just glared at her. As if he couldn't, he raised his nephews, and they had turned out just fine. Excellent, no complaints.

" He is not your nephews."

She laughed when she saw how constipated Lan Qiren's face look. Lan Zhan once again took his place in the far corner and started playing healing music. Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen sat on the opposite side of the bed watching Wei Ying. Promising that they will do anything to help me.

Hoping and praying that in time and with a lot of love and affection that he will learn that there are people out there who care about him.That wants to protect him and keep him safe. That one day ,he will be able to be free to live a life with no restrains.
