Lan Qiren was in the middle of his lecture when suddenly an array appeared in the center of the hall glowing a bright light that made everyone cover their eyes.

"What's going on?" Wei Wuxian asked but suddenly the surroundings turned black.

-----

"Where are we?" Jiang Cheng asked when he noticed that his surroundings has changed.

"A-cheng? A-xian" they heard their sister's voice and immediately goes to her.

"Shijie! You're here!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed.

"A-jie? What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I don't know, a-cheng. We just saw an array and suddenly we are here!" his sister answered with a smile.

"What is this place?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"It looks like a cave with no way out." Lan Xichen answered after examining the place.

"The question is why are we all here?" Nie Huaisang asked.

"Maybe for fun?" asked a someone with a cold voice and they all turned to look at him.

"Wen Rouhan!" they all exclaimed, some are in shock and some are in fear.

"Oh come on!" Wen Rouhan laughed seeing their reaction.

Before anyone can say anything else, a loud thud was suddenly heard and they all turned to look at it.

"Ouchh!" exclaimed Jin Ling followed Zizhen then Sizhui and lastly Jingyi.

"The fuck get up!" Jin Ling yelled as his three friends falls into him.

Noticing where they fall, Jingyi immediately stood up and helped Sizhui and Zizhen but let he let Jin Ling stand on his own.

"You! It's all your fault. If you didn't suggest going to that place then maybe we are not here now!" Jin Ling yelled at Jingyi who just raised a brow at him.

"This is a new experience." he said and their two friends just shooked their heads.

"Who are you, young masters?" Lan Xichen asked calmly and the four widen their eyes seeing the person in front of them.

"A-die!" exclaimed Jingyi and run to his father and hug him.

Lan Xichen frozed in shock same with everyone else in the place.

"I'm sorry for going out without telling you and a-niang. I just want to hang out with my friends." Jingyi said while showing his father a puppy face.

"Xichen, what is the meaning of this?" Lan Qiren asked in anger and in shock.

"I don't know, shufu." Lan Xichen answered honestly as lying is forbidden in their sect and also because he really don't know.

"Did zewu-jun has a child out of wedlock?" asked by a random cultivator.

"Xiongzhang?" Lan Wangji asked.

"Wangji, I don't know him." Lan Xichen answered that made Jingyi took a step backward.

"Wait a-die, you don't know me? Did you lose your memory about me?" Jingyi asked in the verge of crying.

"Ah young master maybe you have mistaken me as your father." Lan Xichen replied quite unsure.

"But you're my a-die." Jingyi said and a tear roll down his eyes.

"Wait, Jingyi look at them. Did you notice something?" Sizhui asked and Jingyi frowned at him.

"I got this weird feeling by just looking at them." Zizhen said.

"They look younger." Jin Ling suddenly said that made the three look at him.

"Huh?" Jingyi asked in confusion.

"Look Jingyi shushu didn't recognize you at all." Sizhui said.

"Young masters can you please tell us why one of you called my nephew a-die? My nephew doesn't have a son." Lan Qiren said.

"Before that, can we ask what year is it?" Sizhui asked.

"Its Xuanzheng, 18th Year." Lan Xichen answered.

"Did we travelled back to the past?" Zizhen asked in disbelief.

"I'm screwed. A-niang will surely beat me when he find out." Jingyi cried out while his friend also paled.

"Uhm young masters." said Jiang Fengmian getting their attention.

"Everyone we are sorry because of what happened because we came across an array that suddenly transported us here and we four came from the future." Sizhui explained calmly and none of the cultivators believed him.

"If you don't believe us then we will introduce ourselves." Jin Ling said and they nodded.

"Okay let's start with me. I am Ouyang Zizhen, son of the sect leader of Baling Ouyang Sect." Zizhen said introducing himself.

"You are my son?" asked the sect leader of Baling Ouyang Sect.

"A-die! I'm sorry for sneaking out." Zizhen said and ran to his father.

"My turn. I am Jin Ling courtesy name Rulan, son of Jiang Yanli of Yunmeng Jiang Sect and Jin Zixuan of Lanling Jin Sect and the current sect leader of Lanling Jin Sect." Jin Ling introduce himself.

"You're shijie's son? Shijie married peacock?" Wei Wuxian asked in disbelief.

"That's not true!" exclaimed Jin Zixuan and the twin prides glared at him.

"Whether it's true or not I don't care." Jin Ling said glaring at him.

"You- didn't you said you're my son." Jin Zixuan said in disbelief.

"A-die? You're my a-die?" Jin Ling asked and suddenly ran to him and hug him.

"Wait, why didn't you recognize me?" Jin Zixuan asked.

"Because he grow up without you." Jingyi said without realising what he said.

"He left shijie!" Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng exclaimed in anger.

"No, a-die died when I was just one month old." Jin Ling said and hug his father more tightly.

"You're my son!" Jiang Yanli said walking up to him.

"A-niang? You're my a-niang? My a-niang is so beautiful." Jin Ling said and hug her and cried more loudly.

"Of course shijie is beautiful." Wei Wuxian said and Jiang Cheng agreed.

"But wait, why didn't you recognize a-jie too?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Because a-niang also died ten days after a-die's death." Jin Ling answered and the Jiangs was devastated by the news.

"I'm still here." Jiang Yanli said to ease them.

"Now you two might be belong to the Lan Sect. Introduce yourselves." Lan Qiren said to Sizhui and Jingyi.

"I'll go first. I am Lan Jingyi, son of Lan Xichen of Gusu Lan Sect and Jiang Wanyin of Yunmeng Jiang Sect, and the heir of Yunmeng Jiang Sect." Jingyi introduced himself.

Everyone was shocked especially the Lans and the Jiangs. Lan Xichen looks like his soul left his body for a moment.

"WHAT?!" Jiang Cheng yells that made Jingyi to run behind his a-die.

"Liar! I don't believe you!" Jiang Cheng exclaimed while Wei Wuxian laughed at him.

"A-niang I am not lying. I have proof that I am your son. See." Jingyi said waving his clarity bell at Jiang Cheng.

"Maybe you stole it. Give it back." Jiang Cheng said but the kid refused.

"A-niang gave it to me so I am not giving it back." Jingyi said and hid the bell.

Before Jiang Cheng could say anything Madam Yu already hugged Jingyi and thud, Lan Qiren finally losses his consciousness.
