~*Baoshan's POV*~
I never thought I'd end up seeing this goat again, but for the sake of my grandson and my grandson-in-law, I will do this. I believe Lan Qiren should know all this anyway. He might know how to handle his nephew. When I arrived, I decided to teleport right inside as I did not want to deal with the guards at the gate. They will just make me wait for several hours before someone comes to allow me access. When I arrived to the main hall, Lan Qiren was there, but so was Xichen. This was going to be very interesting.
"Hello, Qiren," I greeted as I entered.
"B-Bao-Baoshan?" He asked.
"So you do remember me," I said, "I have some things I would like to discuss with you."
"Is it about Wangji?" He asked.
"It can be...you should that he is doing fine. He reached immortality since becoming my disciple. Some abilities he has are rare. He is a rare talent," I explained and looked at Xichen, "my I have a moment alone with your Uncle?"
"Why can I not be here?" He asked.
"Because this discussion is for elders only," I told him.
"Xichen, you should go tend to your duties," Qiren said. Lan Xichen then left, he did glare at me on the way out, "I am guessing this is not just about Wangji."
I first placed a privacy ward over the room before speaking, "this is actually about Xichen. Wangji and him are not getting along. Wangji has lashed out at Xichen twice now and wants nothing to do with him. He refuses to even return here because of him."
"What did Xichen do?" Lan Qiren asked.
"There are a lot of things I started to unravel. If you must know, it was me who let him out. He helped me bring my grandson back. Lan Xichen was part of the reason Wei Wuxian was hurting. A'Ying was framed Qiren, and Wangji is helping me find out who did it. He did not kill his sworn sister and he did not kill those Jin heirs. Wei Wuxian may be mischievous but he has a heart that will never go against those he cares about. Those Wen Remnants he tried to save were just elders, farmer, non-cultivators, and there was even a child.
They all died and A'Ying took his life because he could not handle the pain anymore. It was Wangji who helped me bring him back. Back then when A'Ying stopped using his sword, he no longer had a golden core. His sworn brother lost his and A'Ying gave his core to his brother. The process he used was that he was awake through the whole process. He was awake for two night and a day and there was only a fifty percent chance of success. Without the core, he could not use his sword."
Lan Qiren sighed, "how messed up has our world become?" He asked, "there were some parts of me that believed that Wei Wuxian was struggling but I sat out of the mess. I only stepped in because Xichen suggested Wangji should stay away from Wuxian."
"Staying away from A'Ying not only hurt Wangji, but it hurt A'Ying too," I said, "another thing that was discovered was some things Lan Xichen has been up to for a while. Wangji caught him having an intimate moment with Jin Guangyao. We then found out from Chifeng Zun that Lan Xichen has been teaching Jin Guangyao Lan Sect music techniques. I looked through Chifeng Zun's memory and I do not think Xichen taught him this but Jin Guangyao also knows how to play music from Collection or Turmoil that Wangji said was supposed to be in your forbidden library. I am guessing not just anyone can enter that place."
"No," Lan Qiren replied. He looked very unhappy, "what is going on with him?"
"I honestly think he is being manipulated by Jin Guangyao in some way but I have no way to prove it. It is also believed that Jin Guangyao is behind the mess with A'Ying. Since the two Jin Heirs are dead, Jin Guangyao would be the next in line as Jiang Yanli's son is only a baby right now. Chifeng Zun said he will help us with Xichen."
"I think we should have a talk with Xichen," he said, "have Chifeng Zun, Wangji, and Wuxian all in one room and discuss things civilly. You and I can do what we can to keep it all together and make sure no fights break out."
"I cannot seal Wangji and Wuxian's spiritual abilities but we can keep weapons out of the room. We can just hope that no one will lash out," I said, "I can do what I can to keep A'Ying and Wangji under control."
"We can meet up somewhere that is safe for everyone. Maybe outside or in a safe room," Lan Qiren suggested.
"I do have a safe room back at my mountain. We can speak with Chifeng Zun and ask when he would be available. We can then all get everyone in that safe room. I can use that room as a way to keep other's abilities suppressed."
"That sounds like a plan to me," he said, "I will write to him."
"I will give you a token to keep in touch with me," I said handing him one, "If you want to try to speak with Xichen in the meantime, I have no problem with that. If he has issues with wanting to come to this intervention, I can just teleport him forcefully and he would have to stay until we solve everything."
"I will try to speak with him," he said, "his parents were a mess but I know they would not want their sons to be like this. If Wangji wants to remain with you at your mountain, I have no problem with that. I just ask if he could visit sometime. I just wish to see him. A'Ying can be with him if he wants as it would be nice to see him too."
"I knew talking to you would be a good idea, if your sect elders have any ideas you can speak with them," I said.
"Potentially, for now we will stick with the current plan. Maybe after the intervention, we can speak to the elders," he said. I nodded and said my farewells. I then went back home to meet up with Wangji and A'Ying. I'm sure they are anxious about how everything was going.
