The Untamed Series 3: Love Affair

Chapter 2: An Ally

Third Person POV

On a cold winter's night, the Land of Yiling was blanketed in a thick layer of snow. Despite the freezing temperatures, the streets of Yiling were bustling with activity.

Curious bystanders, sellers, and consumers filled the road, their whispers spreading through the air like a hushed melody.

The reason for their intrigue?

The presence of Lan Wangji, the renowned Prince of the Gusu Lan Sect, in the town of Yiling.

Unfazed by the attention, Lan Wangji embarked on a night hunt, a mission to protect the innocent and eradicate the darkness that lurked within the forest.

With his trusted guqin strapped to his back and his sword at his side, he ventured into the snowy wilderness, his steps leaving imprints on the untouched canvas of white.

The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting an ethereal glow on the snow-covered ground. Lan Wangji's keen eyes scanned the surroundings, ever watchful for any signs of danger.

His senses heightened, he could hear the soft rustling of leaves and the distant howl of the wind. His breath formed clouds of mist in the frigid air as he pressed forward, his determination unwavering.

As he delved deeper into the forest, Lan Wangji's movements became fluid and precise. With each swing of his sword, he effortlessly dispatched the malevolent spirits that dared to cross his path.

His movements were a dance of grace and power, his every strike calculated and purposeful. The forest echoed with the clash of steel and the haunting melody of his guqin, harmonizing with the natural symphony of the night.

In the midst of battle, Lan Wangji's stoic expression softened as he caught sight of a lone fox, its fur glistening in the moonlight. Its eyes held a mixture of fear and curiosity, mirroring the emotions of the people of Yiling.

Lan Wangji paused, extending a hand towards the creature. In that moment, a silent understanding passed between them, a connection forged in the depths of the winter night.

With the forest now cleansed of darkness, Lan Wangji emerged from the depths of the trees, his clothes dusted with snow and his spirit uplifted.

The snow-covered Land of Yiling may have been cold, but the warmth of Lan Wangji's presence and his unwavering dedication to justice thawed even the coldest of hearts.

After a week of successfully completing his mission in Yiling, Lan Wangji made the decision to return home to the prestigious Lan Sect.

As he traveled through the forest in the town of Jiangnan, little did he know that a new challenge awaited him.

Suddenly, Wen Chao, accompanied by his disciples, emerged from the shadows. They intended to prevent Lan Wangji from reaching Cloud Recesses, for they knew that if Wangji succeeded, their plans to harm his family would be in jeopardy. Wen Xu, Wen Chao's brother, had already launched an attack on Cloud Recesses, and Wangji was their last obstacle.

Undeterred by their threats, Lan Wangji stood tall, his sword at the ready. He knew that he could not let the Wens succeed in their sinister plans.

His determination burned brighter than ever, fueled by his love for his family and his unwavering commitment to justice.

But just as the first disciple lunged towards Lan Wangji, a powerful surge of sword energy pushed them back.

Wangji turned around to find himself face to face with a masked cultivator, a silver-eyed ally who had been silently observing him during his time in Yiling.
