   Xichen opened his eyes slowly because he felt something wet touching his lips. He felt his hands cramp, and couldn't move them.

He saw Wang Bai Fen shove water into his mouth, but he quickly pursed his mouth and looked away

"Eh? Aren't you thirsty?" He asked as if he and Xichen were drinking morning tea, not that he was holding Xichen hostage and tying Xichen to the bed.

"I don't want to accept anything from the person who killed my uncle."

"Ei I won't kill you either, you are still valuable to me" he said

Xichen looked at him sharply "why did you kill my uncle? What do you want?" He asked, his tone remaining calm and controlled, but his face showing anger

"Because he interfere my way" Bai Fan answered lightly

"Of what?!" Xichen's tone began to rise

"I want Gusu Lan, and you"

Xichen looked at him confusedly "me?"

"Actually my ambition is your sect, but I can't just claim your sect, so I also have to get you" Bai Fan started to approach Xichen

Xichen's movements were limited because his hands were tied above his head, and the bed was narrow, but he tried to stay away from Bai Fan

"Oh come on Zewu-jun, you will definitely enjoy it" Bai Fan climbed onto Xichen

Xichen held his breath, he was shocked when Bai Fan did that "shameless! Let me go!" Xichen snapped vigorously

"Come one Zewu jun, don't fight it." Bai Fan almost put his hand into Xichen's Hanfu

"Bai Fan!" Uncle Wang called him from outside "Bai Fan come here quickly, you have something to do!"

"Cursed!" Bai Fan cursed irritably He tightened the ties around Xichen's hands, then also tied Xichen's feet, and stuffed a handkerchief in his mouth, and cast a spell on Xichen's foot ties.

"Don't think you can get away from here" he then left Xichen and closed the door tightly, then sealed it with a spell

Xichen tried to move both his wrists, and his ankles. But the more he moved the rope, the more tightly it wrapped around his hands and feet. At one point, he couldn't feel anything in his legs or arms

    Three days later Lan Zhan and Weiying returned to Gusu. The first thing Lan Zhan did was check on his brother at Hansi, but when he entered, Hansi looked empty, dark, and cold. There was no sign of his brother.

Lan Zhan ran out of Hansi, he saw several Disciples walking and came towards them

"Hanguang-jun" the disciples bowed

"Where is Zewu-jun?" he asked

The disciples stared at each other

"Eh- he left three three days ago"

"to where?!" Lan Zhan asked

“There was a banquet at the Wang sect, he attended the banquet”

"What banquet?!" Lan Zhan asked again, his voice starting to rise "

Birthday banquet, Hanguang-jun" the disciples started to get scared because Lan Zhan was so scary when he was angry

"Alone?!"

"Y-yes..."

"Why isn't anyone accompanying him?! Did you know that he was just attacked, Shufu just died, Gusu was under threat, and you left him alone?!" Lan Zhan exploded

Weiying ran to Lan Zhan, he grabbed Lan Zhan's hand and tried to calm him down "Lan Zhan, what's wrong? You don't usually shout like this?" Weiying asked

"My brother, he went down the mountain alone" he answered

"Huh? Where? How could he go alone?" Weiying then looked at the disciples "all of you, go quickly" he ordered

Frightened, the disciples ran as fast as lightning

"Lan Zhan, calm down, we'll go pick him up, okay!" Weiying stroked Lan Zhan's chest to calm him down

Lan Zhan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he then looked at Weiying, and his gaze turned softer, he then nodded "hmn" he answered

"Hey Wei Wuxian!" Jiang Cheng came to him out of nowhere

"Eh Jiang Cheng, why are you here?" Weiying asked in surprise

"I just escorted Jin Ling, I want to meet Zewu-jun and return his handkerchief, where is he?"

Lan Zhan and Weiying looked at each other

"H-he's not home yet" Weiying said, his face starting to look worried

"Not home yet? What took him so long? None of us stayed overnight. We all went home at midnight" Jiang Cheng was confused "

Where did you last see my brother?" Lan Zhan asked

"On the night of the banquet, I spilled wine on my clothes, he gave me his handkerchief and said he was going out to get some fresh air..." There was a pause in Jiang Cheng's words "I remember that was the last time I saw him. Then at midnight he was no longer there."

"Wait a moment here" Lan Zhan then ran, he entered Jingshi, and took the twin jades from the drawer and put them on his tassel. "Idiot! Why did I let go of this jade!" He cursed himself

He then came out of Jingshi and came to Jiang Cheng and Weiying

"Can you take us to the Wang sect?" He asked

Jiang Cheng nodded "yes, but what happened?" He asked confused

"I'm afraid something happened to my brother"

Jiang Cheng's face became serious, he then nodded, "alright, it's not far from here. Just two days and one night. And it happens to pass by Yunmeng, I will also call for help there."

Weiying and Lan Zhan nodded, they then left with Jiang Cheng
