From The Ashes Of The Past We Will Rise

✨️ Chapter 24 ✨️

Two days later, the Lans left as soon as Lan Xichen was informed that Jin Guangyoa was strong enough to travel. He survived his ordeal with one limb less. Meiren had no choice but to leave with them with her son. The rest of the discussion conference was filled with uncertainty and caution, and tension. Many of the sect leaders' eyes would shift towards the couple, but they kept quiet to afraid that they might say the wrong thing. It's not that the family had displayed any sort or amount of power that's making them careful. It's the fact that the family, unlike with the hunt, did not leave this time, but stayed and went about their days as if nothing had happened as if the alpha had not cut Lan Furen's arm of.

But the accusations that's been aired towards the Lans are what's making many wonders. What exactly happened to Wei Wuxian between living with the Jiangs and the Lans?. Madame Yu did not care for all of it she was still going to show Wei Wuxian with his bratty children that she is not one to be mess with. As the discussion conference neared its end and people were starting to relax but it is more because they can finally leave lotus pier and head to their own homes and sects.

The only thing left was the closing banquet that would be held that evening. Everyone was just relaxing as many were gathering in courtyard conversing with each other. Jin Guangshan, who decided not to listen to his wife's advice made his way over with his nephew to where the alpha and omega were in conversation with Zizhen's father and his eldest son as the youngsters stood to the side having their own little conversation. Madame Jin eyes followed Jin Guangshan's retreating back and shook her head slightly.

"Lan Wangji. Wei Wuxian. "

He greeted as soon as he stood in front of them, and they both stopped the conversation and greeted the man back.

"I was hoping that we could talk about the correspondence I sent about a marriage between your eldest daughter and my nephew."

Jin Guangshan spoke with an air of confidence and arrogance around him as his nephew stood next to him with his head held high and looking down his nose at the pair with the same air of arrogance. The alpha looked the two men up and down for a minute without saying anything. Sect Leader Ouyang and his son looked between the omega, alpha, and sect leader Jin with a curiosity in their eyes.

Jin Zixuan, followed by his mother and wife, had walked over when he saw his father walking over to the couple. They arrived just as Jin Guangshan finished taking.

"Father, what is the meaning of this. Do not tell me that you are actually serious?."

Jin Zixuan asked as he looked between his father and Jin Zixun, who still stood with that same look and air of arrogance around him. Yanli's eyes darted towards Wei Ying, who had an amuse smile on his face.

"A-Xuan, this is none of your business, so please be quiet. "

Jin Guangshan said almost through gritted teeth as he glared at his son and wife.

"Sect Leader Jin, I would have thought of us not responding to your ridiculous proposal would have been answer enough, but it seems that it wasn't, so I will clarify it for you then. The answer is no. I do hope that you will be able to understand and comprehend it."

Lan Zhan said with a quirk of his brow as he spoke in a tone that wavered on condensating. Sect Leader Jin gritted his teeth, but before he could respond, Jin Zixun opened his mouth.

"Lan Wangji, who do you think you are?. Talking to my uncle like that and what. You think that your children are better than me?. They are beneath me anyway, having parents like the two of you."

Jin Zixun said with a sneer on his face as he pulled his face in an angry scowl.

"Not only are we better than the likes of you. A low breed alpha talking about. We are beneath you?."
