This Time I Will Not Leave Your Side

In Another Life

Wei Wuxian looks at the cultivators before him as he holds the amulet up in the air. He had just pushed his brother away while blood streamed out of the freshly stab wound. His eyes glide over to where the last of his family layed dead. His heart broke inside his chest. First, his shijie and her husband, now the only family he had ever known. He turned his eyes back and broke the amulet. No use to pro long the inevitable. The corpses turn around and start to attack him. Not once did he fight back, and soon they were tearing him apart. Limb from limb. Some cultivators turn around and threw up. After some time, there was nothing left of him,his soul torn apart in the process. Wei Wuxian was dead. Never to be reborn again.

Lan Xichen walked up the path to the jingshi. He was about to tell his brother that Wei Wuxian was dead. He entered and walked into his brothers sleeping area. Lan Wanji opened his eyes and looked at his brother as his brother told him that Wei Wuxian was dead. Tears silently rolled down Lan Wangji's face at the news. Lan Xichensteppedp forwar,  but Lan Wangji shakes his head slowly. Lan Xichen had no choice but to leave his brother alone. When Lan Xichen was gone Lan Wangji whispers sorry over and over again. He had failed his soulmate. He had failed to protect him. If only he had a chance to do it all over, but he can not. He will not live in this world without the one he loves. He made the only decision he could. He sealed his golden core. The wounds on his back were not as painful as the pain in his heart and soul. Lan Wanji died a few hours later. Not knowing if he will ever see his soulmate again.

Lan Wangji was sitting in the classroom as his uncle was throwing question after question at Wei Wuxian when he felt a warm gush went through him. For a moment, he was confused.  He shakes his head to get rid of the fogginess in his brain. He discreetly looked around and realised that he had traveled back to the Cloud Recess study time. He turned his attention back to his uncle and Wei Wuxian, wondering how he did not see this. How did he not realise how disrespectful and rude his uncle was to Wei Wuxian back then?. His uncle has been targeting Wei Wuxian since he got here. Had he failed to protect him since this early on?. He stood up and could not help himself but interrupt his uncle.

" Do not take advantage of your position. Do not make assumptions about others. Do not judge people. Do not assume. Do not partake in gossip. These are only a few of the rules Uncle has broken. Will uncle take punishment as uncle has been punishing Wei Ying since he got here. I am not excluded because I have done the same. "

Lan Wanji told his uncle as the spatter over his words. The whole class was quiet, and Wei Ying was looking at Lan Wanji mouth agape. He could not believe that the ever cold and stioc jade had just defended. Lan Wanji turned towards Wei Ying and bowed deeply and said.

" This one is sorry for allowing his own judgment to be clouded by outside influence. This one hopes that Wei Ying would forgive him for his incompetence. This one promises to do better by Wei Ying. "

Lan Wangji said with sincerity in his voice while still bowing. Soft gasps could be heard throughout the room. Lan Qiren looks as if he was about to qi deviate. Wei Wuxian mouth opened and closed his mouth, but no words came out, and he could only stare at Lan Wangji in shock.

He walked towards Lan Wangji, and just as he was about to touch him, he felt a warm wind blowing threw him. He stopped and closed his eyes for a minute, shaking his head. When he opened his eyes he almost whispered to Lan Wangji.

" Lan Zhan, please stop bowing to me. I forgive you. How can I not. You are my friend. "

Lan Zhan lifts his head and looks at Wei Ying, searching his eyes and face. He nodded his head and looked into Wei Ying's eyes. That's when he saw it. A flesh of red in his eyes. He was shocked and whispered to himself.

' Can it be? Did Wei Ying also come back.'

A little hope flares in his heart. Lan Qiren finally got his bearings back and demanded in a stern and angry voice with an angry scowl on his face
