The Untamed Series 3: Love Affair

Chapter 34: Attempt

Third Person POV

As Wuxian stood in his room, he made his way to the wall of drawers where his books and antiques were kept, his gaze falling upon the sword displayed prominently in the center.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grasped the sword in his hand.

Suddenly, a chilling voice echoed in his mind, commanding him, 'Kill him.'

Confusion and fear gripped Wuxian as he struggled to comprehend the source of the voice.

He knew deep down that he didn't want to follow such a sinister command, but an unnerving feeling crept over him as if his body was moving of its own accord, against his will.

Leaving his room with a heavy heart, Wuxian descended the stairs and found Wangji engaged in conversation with Huaisang, Jin Guangyao, and Yunji, the weight of the unknown echoing in his mind like a haunting whisper.

"I need to speak with him. Leave us," he demanded coldly, his expression devoid of any emotion, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.

As Wuxian's chilling request hung in the air, a tense silence enveloped the room, the weight of his words palpable to all who stood before him.

Huaisang, Jin Guangyao, and Yunji exchanged concerned glances, sensing the gravity of the situation as they observed Wuxian's cold and emotionless facade.

With a heavy heart, Wangji nodded silently to the others, signaling for them to give him and Wuxian some privacy.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, they quietly excused themselves, leaving the two alone.

Wuxian and Wangji stood facing each other, the weight of unspoken words hanging in the air.

Wangji's gaze softened as he observed Wuxian, trying to discern the turmoil within his beloved's soul.

"What is it that you wish to give me?" Wangji inquired gently, his voice filled with a blend of curiosity.

As Wuxian remained silent, a heavy tension filled the room, thickening the air with unspoken words and unexplained actions.

The sound of the unsheathed sword cut through the silence, its metallic ring echoing in the room as Wuxian's gaze bore into Wangji with an intensity that sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

Wangji's expression remained calm and unwavering, his eyes meeting Wuxian's gaze with a mix of concern and determination.

Despite the unsettling atmosphere, he held his ground, refusing to let fear cloud his judgment.

"A-ying ,what is the meaning of this?" Wangji's voice remained steady, a hint of urgency lacing his words as he tried to break through the wall of silence that Wuxian had erected.

The room seemed to hold its breath, awaiting Wuxian's next move, the tension reaching its peak as the two men stood locked in a silent confrontation, the unsheathed sword a stark reminder of the danger that loomed in the air.

Meanwhile

In the kitchen, a sense of unease lingered in the air as Huaisang noticed Yunji's somber expression. "Is something bothering you? You look troubled," he inquired gently.

Yunji let out a heavy sigh. "It's that guy..."

"Who? Wangji?" Jin Guangyao interjected, curious about Yunji's thoughts.

"He looks so familiar... I can't shake the feeling that I've seen him before," Yunji explained, his voice filled with uncertainty.

Huaisang raised an eyebrow and discreetly hid his face behind his fan, a subtle sign of concern. Yunji's recognition of Wangji's face sparked a sense of urgency in him. He knew he had to dispel Yunji's doubts before things took a dangerous turn.
