Nightless cliff

Back home

The disciples walking outside woke Lan Zhan from his deep sleep, from which he immediately stood up and went to his window, to see that it was almost lunch time, he was had never slept until so late, but he guessed it was normal as he hadn't had a proper sleep in weeks, since he had left actually. He decided to go to his brother now and talk about Wei Ying, but he didn't know how to take the younger with him as for one, people were bound to notice that younger and second the younger still hadn't woken up, Wich was starting to concern him as it had already been around three days since he had found him and healed him, he should've showed at least moved or even woken up already. But he would figure it out, and he would hide the younger somehow and take him with to his brothers room.

After some moments of thinking, he figured he would hide the younger under his robes and go thru a path that wasn't frequently used to not draw to much attention, he knew no one would question him and causing rumors was forbidden in Cloud recesses but he could never be too safe. He walked and thankfully there was actually no one that day that was walking there so he quickly walked to his brothers room. He knocked on the room and entered only when he heard his brother say a small 'come in'. He came in and closed the door, walking quickly up to his brother and took Wei Ying to lay him down carefully on the floor as his brother starred at him in absolute bewilderment at the screen infornt him." I found Wei Ying brother". He said as he looked up to see his brother's shocked face." I can see that, Wangji, how are you? You've been gone for weeks, i was starting to get worried for you". He said as he got up and sat down next to his brother, putting an arm around him to sort of side hug him, wich Land Zhan sort of returned by patting his older brother's shoulder.

After a moment of silence, Lan Xichen got up and returned to his seat." How long has he been asleep?". He asked as he sat down." He hasn't woken up yet, brother do you think he's ok?". Asked Lan Zhan as he looked at the man laying in his arms." That is slightly concerning, i can get you medicine for him". Answered Xichen. Both brothers starred at the boy in silence, not knowing what to do." Xiongzhang, how do I take care of him? It isn't safe for him to be seen". Said the younger brother." It will be okay Wangji, don't worry, as long as child Wei stays here no one will dare to come here to do something". Replied the older jade. He knew that no one would dare go against him or his brother. The Lan sect was known to be faire, and also very strong and a lot of people respected yet feared them. And he used that to his advantage when saying that Wei Ying would be safe as long as he stayed in cloud recesses, at least for the time being so that people would calm down.

Lan Zhan nodded to his brother's statement, agreeing that indeed, no one would want to upset them." I will go now, thank you xiongzhang". Said Lan Zhan as he got up and picked up the younger boy and walked to the door, making sure to hide the younger as his brother got up from his seat to accompany his younger brother to the door and open it to send him off." You know i have your back little brother". Said Xichen with a soft smile to reassure his brother that he can always count on him. Lan Zhan walked back to his room, opening the door and laying the younger boy on his bed once again and he went out to get the medicine, coming back quickly to his room. He gave Wei Ying the medicine, although with struggle seeing as he was unconscious at the moment.

After he finished, he got up to change his clothes, he had stayed in the same ones all these weeks, he obviously wasn't able to change seeing as he had gone quite early and unexpectedly to search for Wei Ying and wasn't able to prepare anything to take with him, hence why he hadn't eaten or drunk almost anything all this time. Once he finally got himself in fresh and clean clothes, he already felt much better, but he was still extremely tired as he hadn't gotten proper sleep in days, weeks even, he had not been able to be relaxed enough to sleep, he was too worried to let himself sleep for long or to just sleep in general. But know that everything was settled and he could finally relax knowing that everything is now ok, he decided that as it was the middle of the day, he would go eat something and study a little to try and figure out how to help Wei Ying and then go to sleep in the usual time of the Lan's.

So he did just that, he got up and locked the door once outside, he knew that no one would dare enter his room without permission but he still wanted to be safe. He walked to the library, making his way to the books he saw his uncle, he had completely forgotten to tell him about everything that had happened, but then supposed that his big brother problem told him or at least explained the jist of it. He came in and took a couple of books and sat down to start reading. His uncle noticed him too, but did t go to him, he himself was still confused on firstly how Wei Ying was still alive and secondly on how Lan Zhan had even managed to find him, so he decided that for the time being he would just mind his own business until everything was figured out, and also when Wei Ying woke up of course.
