~3 Months Later~

Now that Jin Guangyao and Su She were dead and A'Ying's name was cleared, life has been more peaceful. Xiongzhang has been busy with Baoshan, Sect Leader Nie, and Ren Guang on who the new chief cultivator will be and what will happen next. It was said that Chifeng Zun will take the Chief Cultivator role which suites him very well.

While they have been doing that, I did ask Baoshan to meet. A'Yuan was spending time with A'Ying so it was a good time for me to get away for a bit. I wanted to do something nice for A'Ying and it might cost me a lot of energy to do it. So I needed Baoshan's help.

"Wangji, what did you have in mind?" She asked.

"I know it's a lot, but maybe try and bring back Wen Qing, Wen Ning, Jiang Yanli, and Jin Zixuan. The Jin Sect needs someone to run it until Jin Ling is old enough to take over. With Jin Zixuan back, he can be the leader as he should have been. Plus I know how much A'Ying misses his sworn sister and the Wen Siblings," I explained.

"The way your ability works is that you can resurrect anyone you deem worthy. You do not use your energy to do it either, but the energy within the environment around you," Baoshan explained, "we would have to get their bodies."

"I know, and Xiongzhang knows where to find Jin Zixuan and the Wen Siblings, but as for Jiang Yanli, she is in Yunmeng."

"I can help you retrieve her," Baoshan said.

"Thank you," I said.

I know this is a lot but I believe I am doing the right thing. After a few days of gathering the bodies, I spent a whole day just resurrecting them. The Wen Siblings were first and then Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli. After bringing them back, Baoshan checked over their vitals and they were just fine. So A'Ying doesn't find anything suspicious, I had to get back, but the others had to meditate for at least a week to gather the rest of their strength.

When I got home, A'Yuan and A'Ying were swimming in the spring out back. I leaned against the doorframe and watched them play. A'Yuan laughing and splashing A'Ying, and A'Ying was playing splash him back. This was my family, and I will forever cherish it.

"Baba, A'Die is home!" A'Yuan shouted.

A'Ying giggled and whispered something in A'Yuan's ear. A'Yuan and A'Ying then climbed out of the water and stalked towards me. They were both soaking wet and I knew what they were going to do. A'Yuan went one way and A'Ying went the other making it so I was now trapped and was soon engulfed by them both into a nice wet hug. All I could do was laugh.

"Welcome home, A'Die," A'Yuan said.

Since I was now wet anyway, I lifted him up and held him at my waist, "I see you and Baba are having fun," I said.

"If you are missing out, you should be home more," A'Yuan said, "why are you always out?"

"I promise I will be better. I am done with what I was doing. I was just working on a surprise for your Baba," I said.

"What kind of surprise?" A'Ying asked.

"Why don't you two go get into something dry and then I will take you to see Wai Po," I said.

"Oookkaaay," A'Ying said and went to go change. I also had to go out on dry robes thanks to my wonderful boys.

I then waited for the two in the main room, "A'Die, we are ready," A'Yuan said.

"A'Yuan, do you remember your Aunt Qing?" I asked.

"I do, I miss her. It was always funny when she scolded Baba about his health," A'Yuan tattled.

"Wha!" A'Ying said, "I don't find it funny."

A'Yuan giggled, "why do you ask?"

"Can you two close your eyes?" I asked. After the two closed their eyes, I teleport us to Baoshan's. We teleported right where we were needed and the four were ready, "you can open them," I said.

A'Yuan was the first to react and ran to Wen Qing and Wen Ning, "Aunt Qing, Uncle A'Ning!"

"A'Yuan, you have grown so much," Wen Qing said.

As they talked I glanced at A'Ying who was still in a bit of shock, "hey, are you okay?" I asked.

"You brought them back?" A'Ying asked, "I do not know how to face them."

"They do not blame you, A'Ying," I said.

"A'Xian," Yanli said approaching us, "my XianXian."

"Shijie," A'Ying said as tears started to fall, "I am so sorry. I am sorry to both of you."

"We don't blame you, A'Ying," Yanli said as Jin Zixuan stood beside her, "you have been through so much and I am sorry that we were not there for you more."

A'Ying shook his head, "Jin Zixuan, I am also sorry. About that day, there was a second flute and—"

"Baoshan explained everything to us already," he said, "and I am not upset with you. I do not blame you, and I actually wish that I did better at communicating with you back then."

A'Ying nodded, "you two were taken from your son, and Jiang Cheng never forgave me because of that."

"I will deal with him," Yanli said and looked at me, "thank you for bringing us back and bringing my Shidi to me."

"Of course, we are family, A'Ying is my husband and I will do everything I can to make sure he is happy," I said.

"Husband?" Yanli asked and looked at A'Ying, "Back then, when you asked me why someone would like someone else? It was because you fell for Lan Wangji?"

A'Ying blushed, "maybe."

"That is a first," I heard Wen Qing say, "A'Ying is shy and flustered over something."

"Qing-Jie!" A'Ying argued.

Wen Qing then walked over, "Are you upset with me?"

A'Ying shook his head, "I can't be, I know why you did it, but I wish you didn't have to."

"I know, but we are home now, Baoshan is letting Wen Ning and I stay here with her. She offered to teach us some things. She has a lot of medical knowledge that I wish to know," Wen Qing said.

A'Ying nodded and looked at Jin Zixuan, "The Jin Sect has not leader at the moment. Jin Ling is not old enough as he is still a baby. Would you like to go home?"

"I would, A'Li, do you wish to come?" Jin Zixuan asked.

She nodded, "I want to see my son too. Are we still considered married?"

"We can have another wedding if you like...A'Xian can be there this time," Jin Zixuan said.

"Let's do it," Yanli said.

"Jin Ling might actually be in Yunmeng with Jiang Wanyin," I told them.

"Alright, we can go there first then. I am needing to see Jiang Cheng anyway," Yanli replied and looked at A'Ying, "we will see each other again real soon."

"Okay," A'Ying said.

Jin Zixuan then teleports out with Yanli, "A'Yuan do you wish to stay with Wen Ning and Wen Qing for a bit?" I asked.

"Can I?" He asked.

"Of course," A'Ying said.

"You two treat him really well," Wen Ning said.

"We adopted him, so of course we will treat him well," A'Ying told him.

"You did?" Wen Qing asked.

"He is our son, and a disciple of Baoshan's," I replied.

"How exciting," Wen Qing said, "it seems there is a good amount of things I need to catch up on."

"In time," A'Ying replied.
