Gusu Lan Sect:

It was a quiet noon, knowing that Wei Wuxian, and his brother and friend went to Caiyi to enjoy there life, leaving him at Cloud recesses drinking his warmed brewed tea. Xichen who was I front of him playing his Xiao.

Lan Qiren placed his cup on the opium table, Lan Qiren asked Xichen to have tea with him.

Lan Xichen sat infront of Lan Qiren, he then started to talk about his were abouts.

Xichen answered him honestly, as he had been spending his time with Meng Yao rather than spending time with his soon-to-be-husband.

"So you have been with, Meng Yao...?"

Qiren spoke, with a sense of questioning on his tone. Xichen looked at his uncle with his eyebrow raised.

"Is there a problem shufu...?"

Lan Xichen asked placing down the cup of tea on the opium table.

"Have you been spending most of your time with him?"

'Him...?' Lan Xichen thought inside his head still looking at his uncle with curiosity.

"Xichen, your wedding with Young master Jiang is coming closer... Young Master jiang wanted to postpone your marriage."

Lan Qiren spoke, touching his goatee.

"Uncle... I-"

"Xichen, I cannot allow this to happen, me and sect leader jiang had finalize to wedd you both earlier than expected."

Lan Qiren spoke, leaving Xichen shock, he didn't knew that his uncle and sect leader jiang had finally decided when they are getting wedd.

Lan Xichen looked down, unto his tea which was starting to get cold, his uncle looking at him and sighed.

"Do I even have a choice uncle...?"

Lan Xichen asked, making Lan Qiren in disbelief by his unexpected question, he sighed and spoke.

"No, unfortunately you have no choice. Xichen."

Lan Xichen sighed, he then excused himself, as he took a walk through the forest. Seeing his soon-to-be-husband, by a lake, dipping his feet inside cool waters. His thighs were visible, by the looks of it he had taken a dip at the cold river, he then heard a sound, coming closer and closer realizing it was Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang chatting.

Jiang cheng frowned and covered his thighs, with his robe getting up from the ground.

"Jiang-Xiong! did you wait much?"

"What do you expect? you two took so long to move."

Jiang Cheng spoke irritated by Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang.

"what's the matter chengcheng?"

"Who are you calling chengcheng, idiot!"

Jiang Cheng yelled to Wei Wuxian, Nie Huaisang just casually fanning himself, like he always does.

"I heard that Uncle Jiang will be coming here!"

Wei Wuxian exclaimed, with a smile Jiang Cheng's response was an eye roll and scoff.

The three younger mee continued to chat as Lan Xichen was around there hiding from there view, but soon left as he need to attend somethings that just came up from his mind.

Lan Xichen reviewed his uncles words over and over inside his head 'Why can't they just accept his Postponement, I think it is better of us to postpone it. For we can be happy with the person we truly love....' Xichen thought inside his head, looking at clear sky blue as clouds raom around the earth's sky.

'I rather be with someone I love, than someone I don't.'

Lan Xichen arrived at his Hanshi, as he entered, he could imagine him and Meng Yao together like a one happy family, Lan Xichen smiled at his imagination. Only a couple of hours gas passed, a knock came from by one the disciple.

Lan Xichen got up and open the door.

"Zewu-Jun, Grandmaster Lan is looking for you."

The disciple spoke, Lan Xichen didn't know why would his uncle be asking for his attendance at this time but he responded a nod.

Lan Xichen arrived at the library pavilion, it was strange that there were so many people.

But something caught his eyes four teenage boys, one with the same yellow robes as childe-Jin, two unrecognizable Lans, and one was an Ouyang.

Lan Qiren was sitting at the center of of the Library pavilion, he then asked for everyone to take a seat.

"Young masters, may I ask why are you asking for our attendance...?"

Lan Qiren asked, he didn't even knew the kids, not even the two Lans that came from there own sect.

"Grandmaster Lan, we apologize for asking so many people and we know you all are veery busy."

The first Lan spoke, the first Lan was giving of an appearance of Lan Wangji and a mix of someone he might know or regocnize, while the other having a mix of Lan Xichen's.

"Why don't you four introduce yourself to us....?"

Someone spoke, from behind and everyone turned to see Jiang Cheng, who was wearing a light purple robes with the Yunmeng clarity bell on his waist.

The four juniors eyes widen, like they are shock seeing Jiang Cheng. The two juniors looked very guilty and hurt but so glad to see him.

"Why you four looking at me like that?"

Jiang Cheng spoke, with annoyance rolling his eyes.

"Oh apologize for our reactions, young master jiang, my name is Lan Yuan courtesy name Lan Sizhui from Gusu Lan Sect, the son of Hanguang-jun known as. Lan Wangji."

Lan Sizhui spoke, bowing to Grandmaster Lan, Qiren was shock that Lan Wangji had a son and as well as very well mannered. Meanwhile Wei Wuxian teased Lan Wangji that he got married and have a son with his wife.

"My name is Jin Ling courtesy name Jin Rulan, Sect Leader of Lanling jin sect."

"How come? My Father is still alive and I am the sect heir of Lanling Jin."

"Don't tell me that the peacock had touche out Shijie!"

Wei Wuxian yelled pointing his index finger at Jin Zixuan who was. already having a melt down by the news.

"No, of course not!"

Jin Ling spoke with a bit of sassyness in him.

"What about the last Lan, who's he?"

Jiang Cheng spoke, Jin Ling was quite surprise hearing his uncles voice again. Nn

"Uhm... my name is Lan Jingyi, from Gusu Lan Sect, and the son of the esteemed Zewu-jun, known as. Lan Xichen."
