"I can't follow you. You're telling me that Wei Wuxian give his golden core to Jiang Wanyin?" Lan Qiren looked at Wei Changze with wide eyes and slightly open lips. Cangse Sanren pursed her lips and thought about what happened to Wei Ying years before.

"Yes, he did. Thinking my little A-Ying that he deserve to give something that is more valuable than gold. That he needs to do it because he thinks that his golden core is what he owes to the Jiangs," Cangse Sanren explained it this time. "That is why he doesn't have any other choice but to choose the what you called 'demonic cultivation' because he doesn't have any means to fight him. A-Ying was good at Talismans, but can Talismans defeat Wen Rouhan?" Cangse Sanren sighed and shook her head.

"That's not true... Isn't?" Lan Qiren sweated. If that's true, he was wronged a lot of times. He suffered a lot than others. He was noble than the noblest.

"Well, if you want to know, try to make Jiang Cheng draw out Suibian. That Jin Guangyao seal Suibian and only A-Ying can draw him out. If I was wrong then all the things we've told you would be a lie," Cangse Sanren said with a dejected look on her face. Tears threatened come out of her eyes.

"I-I will tell them after Xichen's wedding. Do you want to tell Jiang Wanyin about his parents?" Lan Qiren asked. The door burst opened and the three flinched. It was loud as if it cracked.

"Would I let them be happy after what they did to my grandson? If they want to come back, they need to pay for what they did to my grandson who always put them first! If your nephews face that kind of situation, would you stand still?" Baoshan Sanren asked. Lan Qiren's lips formed a thin line and sighed deeply. Of course he would be furious all the same. Baoshan Sanren rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, It's not like I'm going to kill them. If I want them to die, I already let them die."

"I know you won't. We already know who plotted against Wei Wuxian. If you want, we can turn him over to you," Lan Qiren said tk appease Baoshan Sanren. The latter scoffed and raised her eyebrows.

"No need. Just put a tight leash on them or you will face my wrath. Even if you four clans wage war on us, my Baoshan Tulong Sect can easily wiped each clan in Cultivation world," Baoshan Sanren casually said but Lan Qiren accepted it as a threat. He looked down and nodded.

"Well, if that is the case then I should leave. Oh, by the way, the child, Li Ying is out of the sect right now. We gave the children 3 days to come out of the sect and enjoy the festival outside. They either go home or spend some time with the Lan disciple they chosen. And Li Ying choose my youngest nephew," Lan Qiren told them. In some cases, new disciple and disciple-in-training cannot go outside the sect. For a reason that they cannot disclose some teaching to other people secretly. But this time, Lan Qiren let it happen to loose some restrictions to the children. He realize that what he did to Lan Zhan who he strictly educated was to cold and serious.

"Oh, that Hanguang Jun?" Baoshan Sanren looked at Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze. "How is he keeping up? I mean, when my youngest grandson died?"

Lan Qiren pursed his lips and sighed. "Well, I don't want to say that he's doing good but, he was try his best to stay alive at least."

"I see. Do not worry, he will be okay. Take this to heart, Lan Qiren. Your grandson will be alright," Baoshan Sanren and drink the cup of tea that Cangse Sanren put infront of her. Lan Qiren looked at her with a furrowed eyebrow.

"Is that so. Well, did you know? Someone saw Wei Wuxian at the forest tonight?" Lan Qiren infromed. The trio looked at him with raised eyebrow.

"What did he do?" Cangse Sanren said calmly. Lan Qiren wondered why she was so calm. Lan Qiren looked down and hold his goatee.

"Well, they said that he took fierce corpses and a fierce ghost and attack a child which is Li Ying that time," Lan Qiren explained. Baoshan Sanren nodded and drink the tea in front of her. 

"That is not A-Ying. I was sure of it," Baoshan Sanren said and closed her eyes. Lan Qiren nodded and accepted it. If that was Wei Wuxian then Cangse Sanren already left to pursue her child. 

"Don't worry, Qiren. As A-Ying's mother, I know if they are my child or not. A- Ying is my ONLY son  after all," Cangse Sanren said with a knowing smile on her face but Lan Qiren can't put his finger what is the meaning of her words but choose not to dwell on it any further. He saluted and left the courtyard and walked back to where Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue is. 

Lan Xichen welcomed his uncle and walked towards him with a worried face. "Did something happened, Shufu?"

Lan Qiren looked at his eldest nephew and sighed before shaking his head. "Nothin happened but I want to ask, where is Wei Wuxian's sword, Suibian?"

"Well, the sword is in Lanling Jin Palace. I heard that Jin Zixuan will held unto it for a while before they hand it over to Lan Wangji. Why, Is there something wrong?" Nie Mingjue asked with eyebrow furrowed written on his face. Why would Lan Qiren asking for Wei Wuxian's sword? 

"When will the Jin's arrive? If possible, could anyone of you reached out to Jin Zixuan and tell him to bring the sword as soon as possible. There is something I want to confirm," Lan Qiren said with a sighed. If Cangse Sanren said about the Wei Wuxian giving out his own Golden Core for Jiang Cheng, then that is more the reason that they really wronged him a lot.

"If you want to confirm if the sword sealed itself, then it really did. I even tried to pull it off before but the sword didn't budge," Lan Xichen said. He wanted to check the sword it it's okay or it even rust for not being used since the time they gave it back to Wei Wuxian but they can't pull it out. 

"Did Jiang Wanyin tried to do it?" Lan Qiren asked. Lan Xichen shook his head. 

"No, he didn't. And I think he couldn't pull it out since only the owner could sheath him if I assume," Lan Xichen answered. Lan Qiren nodded and patted Lan Xichen's arm. 

"Alright. But do please inform Jin Zixuan about it. I'll go back to my room," Lan Qiren informed and turned his body to walk away but there's still a question on Lan Xichen's mind. 

"Shufu, those cultivators who came. Are they really Wei Wuxian's parents?" Lan Xichen asked. Nie Mingjue was also curious. Lan Qiren stopped and turned his head with a straight face.

"Keep this information to yourselves." That's what Lan Qiren left to them before walking away. Lan Xichen looked at Nie Mingjue with a sighed. If his shufu told them that information should be kept then it is indeed Wei Wuxian's parents. They were declared dead for a long time. A lot of people would talk about them being alive and didn't letting their child lived alone for a long time until the Jiangs took him in. 

Also, choosing demonic cultivation? They will be criticized heavily. Lan Xichen sighed and put his both hand's behind him. Nie Mingjue looked at his friend and patted his shoulders. 

The next day, Wei Ying's new morning schedule changed and he woke up before 5AM which is the time where Lans wake up. Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan and noticed his furrowed eyebrow and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Wei Ying was alarmed and stood up and hastily walked towards Lan Zhan's bed.

"Hanguang Jun?" Wei Ying called and shook him but Lan Zhan didn't open his eyes but continued to groan as if in pain. Wei Ying's heart was beating so fast. "Lan Zhan! Lan Zhan! Open your eyes!"

"Mng... Wei... Ying..." Lan Zhan whispered and Wei Ying heard it. Is he dreaming? And he's dreaming about him? Why is he so affected? "No...."

"What do you mean no? Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying continuously called for him and shaking him but to no avail. Wei Ying put his hand over Lan Zhan's cheeks and forehead. He was burning. "You need help... Ack!"

Wei Ying felt pain in his chest... He fell down on his knees and he panted heavily. What is happening to him? Why he can't breath properly? But he needs to leave, to get help.

His vision blurred. So he close his eyes in hope that it will focus.
