She was gone . Wuxian turned around to check but his Shijie was gone.

He walked further inside the cave where the rustling was heard. Getting closer he could hear human voices. And..... Those were his human's voice...... ???

" Lan Zhan ??? How ?? What ? "

They turned and saw him. Wei Wuxian.

"Wei Ying", Lan WangJi engulfed him in a bone breaking hug. " I was scared", he muttered.

" I'm safe Lan Zhan. How did you find me ? How did you come inside "

" We don't know. We were searching for you. And somehow ended up here ", XiChen replied.

" Xian ge ge , are you alright? ", SiZhui asked joining in the hug.

" Yes , I'm alright. Now both you father and son, you don't want me to suffocate in your arms, do you ? leave and let me breathe."

" Since you can make jokes now, it seems like you are alright. "

" Jiang Cheng !!!! What are you doing here with them ! "

" You dumbass, what were YOU doing ending up here "

" I didn't do anything"

"A-Xian, can you please tell us how you reached here?", XiChen enquired.

"XiChen ge, there was a Butterfly in the storage room inside a cage. I never saw something as big as that ever. So I tried to approach it and then there was a sudden light coming out from it. I lost my consciousness and when I opened my eyes I'm here."

"Again that butterfly ..... Why was it caged there? What exactly is that?", HuiSang asked.

"Yes, it was very beautiful. Looked like those messenger butterflies. But this was bigger and brighter", Wuxian said, describing it.

"You didn't tell me how you found me here. The entrance was closed and because of the darkness in and out of this cage, I couldn't even find it. How did you enter? "

"We didn't", Jiang Cheng answered. The butterfly you said led us here. It was going in the direction of your workshop and we decided to follow it. When we enter your place, the light becomes brighter and then we are here."

" Xian ge ge, we didn't understand we were inside this cave until we lit some fire. "

" hahhhh , then it must definitely have something to do with the butterfly."

"Uncle, you said it is 'Evil's Hairpin' . What is that ?"

Lan QiRen took a deep breath and said, "It is known as the 'Evil's Hairpin' , because it is said that in ancient times that butterfly was the messenger of the Great Demon. He sends those to the people who are weak and fragile. The butterfly always stays near someone's head, manipulating their thoughts and mind. Ancestor Lan Yi kept that butterfly in our storage after defeating that demon. she mentioned, it can easily gain power by both yin and Yang energies. That is the reason why we kept it in a cage locked with special spiritual engravings."

"Uncle, WangJi never heard of it"

"WangJi, the details regarding the 'Evil's Hairpin' are stored in the forbidden library. I was afraid that Wei WuXian would find the scroll. That's why I prohibited him from entering there. But it seems like this butterfly found him."

"Why me? Why didn't you want me to know about it? "

"Because you are a strong source of yin energy, The cultivation method you are practicing requires a lot of negative energy so you are an easy target for it. Also", he continued, " this can send our mind to our worst memories and trap us there. This might be a reason why Wei WuXian woke up in this cave."
