Gusu Lan Sect

Lan Wangji emerged from his brother's chamber, feeling a sense of heaviness in his heart.

The weight of responsibilities and unresolved emotions weighed him down as he made his way back to Jingshi, his sanctuary amidst the chaos of the world.

As he walked through the serene bamboo forest, the gentle rustling of leaves provided a soothing backdrop to his troubled thoughts.

Lost in his contemplation, he was suddenly startled by the appearance of a woman standing before him.

Her presence was ethereal, her expression cold and distant, as if she held the wisdom of centuries within her eyes.

"Do you know me?" the woman asked, her voice carrying an air of mystery and authority.

Lan Wangji's eyes widened in recognition. "You are Weiying's grandmother... Baoshan Sanren," he replied, his voice filled with reverence. He bowed respectfully, acknowledging the immortality and power that emanated from her being.

Baoshan Sanren's gaze shifted away from him, her demeanor guarded. "Is my grandson here?" she inquired, her voice tinged with a hint of concern.

Lan Wangji shook his head gently, his eyes still fixed on the ground. "He is in Yunmeng, Madam," he responded, his voice holding a touch of sadness. The absence of his beloved Weiying was a constant ache in his heart.

A flicker of relief crossed Baoshan Sanren's face. "Really? Well then...good," she murmured, her tone betraying a mix of emotions.

Curiosity overcoming him, Lan Wangji finally dared to look up and meet her gaze. "If it's not too impolite, may I inquire about the purpose of your visit?" he asked, his voice laced with genuine curiosity.

Baoshan Sanren's expression turned stern, her eyes piercing into his soul. "I will be blunt with you... Stay away from my grandson," she demanded, her voice firm and unwavering.

Lan Wangji's heart skipped a beat, his mind racing to comprehend the meaning behind her words. The weight of her warning settled upon him.

As the weight of Baoshan Sanren's words settled upon him, Lan Wangji felt a whirlwind of emotions swirling within his chest.

Confusion, concern, and a deep longing for his beloved Weiying all tangled together, creating a tempest of thoughts in his mind.

Summoning his inner strength, Lan Wangji lifted his head, meeting Baoshan Sanren's piercing gaze with unwavering determination.

"I hear your concerns, Baoshan Sanren," he spoke, his voice calm and resolute.

"But please understand that my intentions towards Weiying are pure and unwavering. I would never bring harm to him."

Baoshan Sanren's expression remained stern, her eyes filled with a mix of worry and caution.

"It is not about what you can do, Lan Wangji," she stated firmly, her voice carrying a weight of experience. "It is about the consequences that my grandson would face if your paths intertwine."

Lan Wangji's brows furrowed in confusion, his mind racing to comprehend the hidden meaning behind her words.

Anxiety crept into his heart, as he realized there were aspects of Weiying's life that remained unknown to him.

Baoshan Sanren let out a sigh, her gaze softening slightly. "I presume my grandson didn't disclose to you the burdens that Wuxian carries as the sect leader of Yiling and a Prince of the Celestial Realm," she revealed, her voice tinged with a mix of sadness and understanding.
