After Wei Wuxian's death, Baoshan Sanren was on a mission. She was going to help bring her grandson back. To do that she needs some help from someone she could trust. That person was Lan Wangji. Baoshan and Wangji work together to bring Wei Wuxian's...

I realized that I had a way to break the wall around Wei Ying and his subconscious being. Within the memories, I had on my old Gusu Lan attire, forehead ribbon and all. I decided to change into my current look. I had my hair cut differently now, I wore it in a ponytail, and I did not wear Gusu Lan robes. This would mean if I interacted with my family within these memories, Wei Ying might see past it all.

(Lan Wangji had Xie Yun Vibes now from Legend of Fei. This is his current look)
I had Bichen strapped on my back and I was dressed in my current look. I then made my way to the lecture halls. It was time to bring out the drama. I hope this works. I am no longer the Lan Wangji of the Gusu Lan Sect. I left them due to the injustice and the lack of respect for others; that includes family members.
Upon entering the lecture hall, I could hear some people whispering about me already. It's the perks of my new abilities. Enhanced hearing, and I can hear a pin drop even if it is a loud environment. I smirked and went to my seat but was soon tapped in the shoulder.
"Lan Zhan?" Wei Ying asked.
I looked at him, "yes?" I asked.
"Why do you look like this?" He asked.
"This is the way I really look. I do not want to hide behind those Gusu Lan robes anymore. I just want to be free from them. I am still Lan Wangji, just not from the Lan Sect," I said.
He smiled, "I like this look," he said.
"Do you?" I asked.
"Yes, it is more edgy and adventurous for you," he said.
I nodded, "do you have a seat?"
"I am seated behind Jiang Cheng," he pointed.
"Alright."
"Wangji?" I heard his voice. My brother's voice. It was my brother who was in a memory not from the real world. It's good, because I can practice taking my aggression out on this Xichen.
"Lan Xichen," I said calmly.
He looked at me wide eyed, "what is happening to you?"
"This is the real me, if you do not like it, that is your problem," I told him, "I am not a Lan sect member anymore anyway," I then took out the talisman Baoshan gave me, "see this token?"
"A disciple of Baoshan Sanren?" He asked.
Wei Ying looked at me, "you know Baoshan?" He asked.
"I do, she is very kind and talks about you all the time. She is actually waiting for you," I told him.
"Waiting for me?" Wei Ying asked.
"Wei Ying, I need you to really think. I am actually trying to wake you up again," I said.
"Wake me up?" He asked.
"Baoshan has a way to help you, to bring you back from the dead. I came to look for your subconscious being. This is the real Lan Wangji, Hanguang Jun," I said, "I need you to remember me."
Wei Ying became silent. He had tears in his eyes. Everyone around us disappeared and it was just Wei Ying and me in an empty space. I don't know what he was thinking right now but I thought of a way to calm him...I began to hum to him. That melody I played for him in Xuanwu's cave, Wangxian.
Wei Ying looked me in the eyes, "You broke through the walls, why did you do that?" He asked.
"I want you back, Wei Ying. I love you, and Baoshan is patiently waiting for you as well. She is helping me to help you. I left my sect and I have never felt happier. My brother has kept me away from you for so long...but no more. I should have told you long ago how I felt. I was just afraid to lose you. I am still afraid that I will never see you again. I will never hear you speak, hear you laugh, see your smile, feel your warmth. Wei Ying, come back to me, please," I begged.
"Lan Zhan, they killed A'Yuan. They wanted me dead, they killed all of the Wens, and I could not protect them. I was too injured and tired to fight anymore. I do not know if I can ever fight again Lan Zhan," he explained.
"Baoshan can bring A'Yuan back, she has your core back. You can cultivate again. In fact, you can train with me. I am immortal now, and you can be the same. I will fight the world with you, Wei Ying. I will help you. Baoshan will help you. There is something you should know. I met Wen Ning before they killed him...he said he heard a second flute. You did not lose control, Wei Ying. It was taken from you."
"Second flute...I heard it again at Nightless City when the fight broke out. You managed to bring me to the mounds but then I never once saw you after that. You said you would return, Lan Zhan," he said.
"I know, but my brother locked me away," I told him, "Jin Guangyao is feeding him lies and Xichen follows him. I even walked in on the two making out...it would not surprise me if they are fucking on the side."
"Since when do you say such vulgar language?" He asked.
"Since I left the sect...I cussed out Xichen twice now," I answered, "I have a way to bring you back. Will you come back to me?"
"If I do, do you promise to never leave my side?" He asked.
"I would never leave your side...not of my own choice anyway. I will always support you, love you, and believe in you. I will marry you, I will bond myself to you. I will make myself yours in every possible way I can. I just hope you accept me too," I told him.
"I accept you Lan Zhan...I know we had a lot of misunderstandings but you never gave up on me. You tried for me. You were there when no one else was. Even when you were not physically with me, I still felt that you were always there. If I live again, I need you. I cannot live again if I do not have you."
I nodded, "I promise."
Wei Ying jumped into my arms and wrapped his arms around my neck and his legs were around my waist. His face was shoved into the crook of my neck and he just sobbed. I held him close and as tightly as I could without suffocating or breaking him. That was when I used my new abilities, I infused newfound life into his subconscious being. I woke from the serum I drank and I saw that there was some color coming back in Wei Ying's features.
"You did it," she said.
"I may have made a couple promises but I think they are doable," I said.
"Like what?" She asked.
"Marrying him and becoming his soul bond. Link him to me in every possible way I can, as he said he would not come back if he could not be with me," I told her.
"That is doable," she said, "for soul-bonding, you would need to test your compatibility but I think you two would be okay. You two already have a bond that is very special."
"I also told him that you were waiting for him," I said.
"Good, he should come back to life in a couple days. The life force you gave him was a boast. His soul is cleansed and repaired, and his golden core is also cleansed. By the time he wakes, his golden core will dissolve into a spiritual vein and he will be immortal. After some time training, I will help you two find out who was responsible for hurting him this much."
