Everlasting Myth

Chapter 17

Wangji and Wuxian were both secluded inside the Jingshi after hearing such a heartbreaking story. Neither of the two wanted to leave the confines of the house, or each other's arms. Wangji now understood why he would potentially lose Wei Wuxian in the future and he was determined to make sure it does not happen. As they were laying in bed cuddling with each other, a knock came to the door.

Wangji was okay enough to answer and saw it was Sizhui standing there, "Sorry if I am interrupting anything."

Wangji shook his head, "You can come in, Sizhui," he said.

"Actually, I came because you and Baba are needed at Yashi," Sizhui said, "Someone from my timeline happened to appear suddenly and I thought you'd want to meet them."

"Really?" Wuxian asked and went to stand by Wangji at the door, "Who?"

Sizhui smirked, "Uncle Xichen's son Jingyi."

Wuxian and Wangji's eyes widened, "Son?" They asked.

"It will be explained soon," Sizhui said and lead them to the Yashi.

When they arrived there was a young man in Gusu Lan robes and had a sect heir forehead ribbon on there head, "Sizhui, this is Hanguang Jun and Wei Qianbei from the past?" He asked.

"Mnn," Sizhui nodded.

"Again with the simple answers, do you always have to be like Hanguang Jun?" He asked.

"I am his son, so of course," Sizhui replied, "Why are you here?"

"Your parents received your message and said the array was made to take you to a different timeline. There is a possibility that it could alter the future and it already has. Jin Ling's parents are alive," he replied.

"Huh?" Sizhui questioned, "we already changed the timeline? Did they send you here?"

"Yes, they did not come because they did not want to risk running into their younger selves. Wei Qianbei and Hanguang Jun are counting on us to come back safely. We will return once we find the array in this timeline or we find someone who can make a new one," he replied.

"Sizhui, you said that he was Xichen's son?" Wuxian asked.

Before they could answer, Lan Qiren, Qingheng Jun, and Lan Xichen arrived and saw the young cultivator, "who are you?" Qingheng Jun asked.

"My name is Lan Jingyi and I am the adopted son of Zewu Jun. My biological parents died in my current timeline who were both Gusu Lan sect members. I was an orphan for a little while until Sizhui came to Cloud Recesses. Zewu Jun adopted me and raised me as his son."

"Even though he was born in the Lan Sect, Jingyi is also known as the most unLan Lan in the his of the Lan Sect," Jin Ling said, "He has no filter for a mouth and even Grandmaster Qiren says he is so much like Wei Wuxian in terms of personality he questions how Zewu Jun is his father."

"So Jingyi is basically my son," Xichen said, "who would the sect be passed to? Has that been discussed?"

"Jingyi, as I am with Jin Ling in the Jin Sect running the sect with him. Then again, I have twin sisters that are three years old and my Baba is currently expecting another child...as you can tell, Baba and A'Die cannot keep their hands off each other," Sizhui answered, "So it is still up in the air...Though A'Die is Chief Cultivator in our timeline too."

"Lan Zhan as Chief Cultivator?" Wuxian asked.

"He took the position to keep you safe," Sizhui said, "After what you went through, he wanted to make sure you would be safe. Plus, you do help him occasionally when you are not teaching disciples," Sizhui told him.

"What do I teach? Especially since I do not have a golden core in the future," Wuxian questioned.

"But you technically did get a new one. After thirteen years, a man named Mo Xuanyu used a sacrifice summon and offered his body to you in exchange for his soul. He had one last wish to get revenge for him. A'Die was the first to recognize you," Sizhui said.

"Who is Mo Xuanyu?" Madam Jin asked.

"He is another illegitimate son of Jin Guangshan's. Mo Xuanyu did have a golden core but it was nearly noticeable, but with the cultivation techniques here in Gusu, Baba he cultivated it and it is just as strong, if not stronger than his old one," Sizhui answered.

"How many illegitimate children did my bastard Husband have?" Madam Jin asked.

"No one really knows. Jin Guangyao actually ended up marrying is sister," Jin Ling told her.

"Excuse me?" Sect Leader Nie asked.

"Her name was Qin Su," Jin Ling said.

"Qin Su," Lan Xichen said and looked at Sect Leader Nie, "We should look into her."

"Agreed," Sect Leader Nie said.

"So to answer your question, Baba, you teach charms and talismans, and you help out at the archery range," Sizhui said, "You even have your own personal building that is explosion proof. You almost blew up the Jingshi once so A'Die had a place built for you so you can work and teach to your heart's content."

Wuxian giggled, "Whoops," he said, "Am I treated okay in the future here?"

"You are, A'Die sneaks you Emperor's Smile and even Grandmaster Qiren managed to learn to tolerate you," Sizhui answered.

"What?" Lan Qiren asked, "Bringing alcohol into the sect?"

"Perhaps it is time to sit down and look into the principles again. Maybe there are some rules that can be changed," Qingheng Jun said.

"Just so you know, there is only three thousand rules now, but in the future timeline, there are four thousand," Jingyi explained.

"Four thousand?" Wuxian asked, "And I live here?"

Sizhui laughed, "You actually do not mind it as you learned to adapt. You are hardly punished for any of the rules you break anyway. A'Die is in charge of your punishments so I am not entirely sure how they go."

"I kind of have an idea," Wuxian said taking a glance at Wangji.

"It's probably why you have so many children," Jingyi mumbled.

"Wow Didi," Xichen said, "I did not know you had it in you to be so insatiable."

"I agree," Wuxian said.

"I am sure you like it anyway," Wangji said in protest.

Wuxian could not reply as he was not actually sure what he would like and what he would not. Before courting Wangji, he never really considered himself a cut-sleeve but he never really wanted to marry before either. Now he was very much curious and wants to explore when he can.
