Red Strings of Connections

Chapter 33 The Isolated Old Man

"Lan Zhan!!!" Delight, and happiness could be heard from Shi Ying's voice. The cultivator she fell in love is standing in front of her, and if weren't for his black hair, Lan Wangji could be miss because of his robes that is matched to the whiteness of snow. But Shi Ying sees that he is still as handsome as ever, gorgeous, and beautiful.

With her excitement, she spread her and jogs towards him, about to give him a tight hug, but Lan Wangji took a step back, with knitted eyebrows. This action of him made Shi Ying blinks her eyes in confusion, yet it is only for short moment as she realized what was wrong, and a huge, mischievous grin spread on her.

Shi Ying palmed her cheek, fisted hand is placed at her chest as she begun to act like a shy bashful girl from well-own family, spouting many claims like:

"Oh, I can't believe my fiancé forgotten his soon-to-be wife!"

Continue with... "And here I am obeying your order to behave in this village! To wait for your return, that you definitely be back to take me away!! You're here now and yet you cannot even recognize your beloved?!"

Matching with tears and sobs, and... "Don't tell me you were eloping with someone else! Oh! This poor maiden's heart has been crushed!"

Adding oil on fire... "I've been waiting for you, esteem young master, and yet! You hurt me so much!"

Shi Ying keeps teasing Lan Wangji, but soon realize that no matter what she throws to him, his expression wouldn't barge, she thought; that these never happened.

Getting no reaction from Lan Wangji, Shi Ying sighs in defeat. "Lan Zhan, really doesn't recognize me? It's me Wei Ying!" He saw Lan Wangji eyes look at him from head to toe. "Aye! There's a reason for this! By the way, why is Lan Zhan here?"

Finally recognized him after closer inspection, Lan Wangji response, "Night-hut."

"You mean the rumor "Divine Beast" here?" Lan Wangji nodded. "Great! then let's work together!"

"Those clothes are..." Shi Ying or Wei Wuxian sees his eyes looking at him from head to toe, again.

"Hmm? Yes, yes, just like what you thought Lan Zhan. Me—dressed like this is connected to this night-hut." Wei Wuxian hooks his arm to Lan Zhan's. "Come with this pretty shimei, and she'll tell you everything she knew so far!" As usual "mn" came out as a response from Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian pulls him down the mountain and give the information that have been gathered so far.

As talkative as he always is, Wei Wuxian able to fill Lan Wangji all the information they have gathered in short amount of time.

The trip at the foot of mountain has been easier and faster than climbing.

Upon their descendance, Lan Wangji quickly grasps the situation, and he said in almost quiet voice: "Dressing like that will just make you their target." Lan Wangji meant about the villagers. "Marrying in age fourteen might be their way to save the girls."

"Right! The bones I have saw inside the cavern were all belonged to maidens in ages fourteen to eighteen." Wei Wuxian clicks his tongue in playful manner, "Aren't I a great candidate?"

"You are. But—" Lan Wangji no longer says anything.

Soon the two young master reach Hua Xie's house, but the said owner is nowhere within, he might be still working on what Wei Wuxian assigns to him.
