The next day all of the juniors awoke in the beautifully designed guest house that Lan Qiren had assigned them too, as they stepped out into the picturesque scenery of the gusu lan clan, the fresh mountain air hit their noses and all around them the Lan disciples strolled leisurely to their classes.
"Woah, this place looks different than it does in our time" said Lan Jingyi while walking
"Well didn't this place burn down before" questioned Ouyang Zizhen who was looking at Sizhui for conformation, but before he could speak he bumped into someone, falling over from the collision.
"Wha-" he was caught by Jin Ling, but peering over him with sharp eyes was Jiang Cheng.
"S-sect leader Jiang?" Stammered Zizhen who quickly stood up straight after seeing him, Jiang Cheng had his arms crossed in annoyance, but hearing himself be called a sect leader his expression had suddenly changed to one of surprise, behind him a soft flowery voice curiously questioned the boy "Sect leader?" Jiang Ching schooled his expression and turned to face the voice "it's nothing Shijie".Jin Lings eyes widened and he took in a short breath as he heard how his uncle addressed the girl beside him he stared in awe taking in the soft features on his mothers face while his lips trembling as he took a step away from everyone.
"A-Cheng who are all these people" said Jiang Yanli with a soft smile on her face "uh there.." Jiang ,
Cheng trailed off he wasn't to sure on how to explain the situation to his sister.
The longer Jin Ling stared at his mother the more his vision blurred from the tears forming in his eyes, he then feels gentle hand placed on his shoulder, he looks over to see Lan Sizhui looking at him with a worried gaze in his dark brown eyes, He felt a tear fall down his face and he knew she saw it, he didn't know what to do, ashamed he turned around and ran.Zizhen tried to call after him but the boy kept running "Sect Leader Jiang could you tell everyone that we will be late to our meeting" Lan Sizhui hurriedly said to Jiang Cheng before we went after Jin Ling.
"Sect leader Jiang could you...bring Jin Zixuan along as well..." Jingyi said hesitantly.
Jiang Cheng doesn't understand what's happening, but he remembered that Jin Ling introduced himself as the son of Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan, so he slowly nods "I'll convince him to come with us"
Jingyi and Zizhen hurriedly run after Jin Ling.Hot tears were falling down his face on the way back to the guest house, he staggered inside wiping his tears as they fell down his face, he stumbled his way to the wall and slid down it breathing heavily as he covered his mouth to try and mask the sobs coming from his mouth.
a few moments later Sizhui quietly opened the dark wooden door to the guest house
"A-Ling" he called as he stepped inside looking around while he heard the muffled sobs coming from inside the house,
Jingyi and Zizhen run up to the doorway together and find Sizhui with his brows slightly wrinkled in concern.As the three boys walked further inside following the sound of sobbing until they see Jin Ling curled up in the corner of the room, Sizhui crouched down front of Jin Ling and pushed his hair out of his face "A-Ling..." said Sizhui as he reached out his hand but instead of grabbing it Jin Ling pulled him in to a hug and sobbed into his arms. Zizhen rested his hand on Jin Lings shoulder and quietly said "Just cry it out" Sizhui sat there stroking his hair in an effort to calm him down while Jingyi came back with a towel and a bowl of water.
Jin Ling pulled away from Sizhui " I'm sorry..i" he sniffled then Jingyi dabbed the damp towel on his cheek "don't apologize don't even think you have too" Jin Ling wiped his nose with his sleeve "she must be so confused..." "well we could explain it to her for you... unless you want too tell her yourself" said Zizhen "i want to do it..we...we should get back to the meeting and not keep everyone waiting" said Jin ling to Zizhen while starting to stand up off of the hard wooden floor, "are you sure that your ready...we could stay here for a while" said Jingyi trying to make sure he's comfortable with going out Jin Ling hesitated he wasn't sure how he felt he's torn between wanting to run up to his mother and hugging her and not wanting to see her or his father at all.
"how about you freshen up then we'll see how you feel then" Sizhui reassured the boy.After freshening up Jin Ling tried to build the confidence to go outside, he trembled at the thought of seeing his parents, he feared how they would react to him if they would be disappointed in him. Eventually all of the juniors left the guest house stepping out in to the crowds of Lan disciples and making their way to the classroom they were supposed to meet everyone at, they see Lan Xichen waiting for them at the entrance as soon as he lays eyes on them he nods to greet them "I'm glad all of you could come" he says with a light smile, all of the juniors bow to him and step inside the classroom where they originally time traveled to, and they see that Wei Wuxian is behind Lan Wangji who seem to have stepped in front of him to stop him from doing something while Jiang Yanli was siting at the table next to Jiang Cheng who was glaring at the Jin who is sitting tall with his arms crossed, his cheek was red like it had recently been punched, with Nie Huaisang in the corner fanning himself while nervously looking around.
"Well we definitely missed something" said Lan Jingyi partially making fun of the tension in the room
As they walked inside,with Jin Ling is obviously hiding behind Lan Sizhui, "well blame that all on him" Wei Wuxian said gesturing to Jin Zixuan. "we have more important matters to discuss" Lan Wangji said nonchalantly while staring at the Juniors who just entered the room with Lan Xichen, "yes, please have a seat we have a lot to discuss" Xichen said to the Juniors."Now I remember one of you previously said young master Wei's array sent you here" questioned Lan Xichen as he sat down at a desk. "Yes, but unfortunately I don't think this array could be replicated by any one here". Replied Sizhui, Wei Wuxian straightened his posture and smirked "I always knew be that amazing" Lan Sizhui lightly giggled at his response "yes Senior Wei is very amazing, but I meant that no one here studies the cultivation style that the array needs" "What why would he change his cultivation style" Questioned Jiang Cheng watching him with serious eyes "I agree, if Wei Wuxian had started studying one style, why would he switch to another" asked Jin Zixuan who was still sitting tall with a cloud of arrogance around him.
Jingyi and Sizhui exchanged looks. "Should we really tell them why" said Jin Ling who's eyes where still red and puffy from earlier. "I think it's necessary, I mean we're explaining why the array will be difficult to replicate" added Zizhen while he looked at Lan Jingyi.
Lan Sizhui took a deep breath "because it was made with demonic cultivation" This surprised everyone in the room, for as much trouble he would get himself in to, it was no secret that Wei Wuxian was considered to be a prodigy in the cultivation world "why, why would I do that I'm doing well with the cultivation path I have now" said Wei Wuxian who's head was slightly cocked to the side. "Don't worry it was for a good reason...you gave your golden core to Sect Leader Jiang" said Zizhen "What" Jiang Cheng shouted with raised eye brows "how is that even possible" said Nie Huaisang while leaning forward "My A-Yi, Wen Qing was among best doctors in the Wen clan, she completed the operation" explained Lan Sizhui.
Lan Xichen's eyes narrowed "But how did Young master Jiang lose his golden core"
"Also how are you a Lan if your A-Yi is a Wen" questioned Wei Wuxian
Lan Sizhui's eyes wandered around the classroom of people sitting at the dark wooden desks staring at all of them "We'll explain it to the best of our abilities".—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Notes:Im sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been rewriting and deleting this over and over again, I didn't know how to correctly write all the emotions that Jin Ling feels so what's in this chapter is what I settled for :(
Also I don't really like how I'm making Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui call there family members Aunt and Uncle, I didn't know how to use the correct Mandarin family terms, so I'm mentally cringing every time I use the words Aunt and Uncle since I don't use those words regularly like I would use Tia and Tio.
