Fast Forward:

Everyone started to walk over the market of Yunmeng Jiang as always it was load. Even drunk men were still outside drinking. Farmers, trying to sell there crops for money. They all walked to the Ancestral Hall, as they also talked about stuff asking questions and questions being answered. Meanwhile the two men were wearing snow white robes with cloud embroided sleeves was quiet and smiling meanwhile the other was frowning and was looking a little crimson red.

The two felt awkward to one another as the rest that are in front of them were talking normally. The two men decided not to talk and avoid each other as like last night did not happened at all to the both of them.

They all arrived at the Ancestral Hall and saw how beautiful the view of the  wide lengthed Lake that were covered in floating lotuses, as the sun hits the water making it sparkle. They went inside to pay tribute and respect to those who had passed and to there ancestors. The last time Wei Wuxian came to Ancestral Hall was the time we're Wen Ning reavealed the inside of him. That time still makes him having flashbacks. Jingyi and Jin Ling were the first one to pay respect as they bowed multiple times. After they had finally given respect, Nie Huaisang was looking at the names of those who were carved unto the smooth stone.

His eyes widen to see Jiang Cheng's name on one of them making him drop his fan. Everyone turned around to see why Nie Huaisang look stunned Past Wei Wuxian walked over and saw Jiang Cheng's name.

"Why is My brother's name here?"

He asked pointing at the stone that was in the lower middle of the hall.

"What? Be serious."

Jiang Cheng said walking over to were they are at.

"This must be someone else."

"Come one you are the only Jiang Cheng in the Jiang Sect."

"Hey Future me... we didn't see Zewu-jun's future self as well... and Jiang Cheng's."

Past Wei Wuxian said looking a little worried.

"Oh... uh...."

Lan Wangji touched his husband shoulder to reassure him.yg

"Uncle Wei... don't you think... we should tell them?"

Jingyi said Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji who nodded agreement with the young teenager. Wei Wucon sighed maybe it is time to let out all the guilt inside of him. .?..

"Well?"

Jiang Cheng said.

"In the future... many things happen. A war... started lotus pier go massacred..."

Everyone's eyes widen when they heard that lotus pier will be massacred.

"Lotus pier was massacred by the Wen clan. A-Cheng rebuild lotus pier all on his own..."

"What about you? where were you?"

Jiang Cheng asked.

"..."

"I rather not say..."

"Why?"

"Why can't you?"

Jiang Cheng said walking closer as his hand clench into a fist.

"Jiang Cheng stop... We can't force them to say anything if they don't want to."

Pas Wei Wuxian Said pulling his brother closer to him. Sizhui then stepped up to calm the atmosphere that is currently not in a good condition.

"A-yi, didn't you said that we'd be going to the Jiang Manor?"

"Ah, yes I almost forgot. Let's go... maybe there we can talk and resolve things."

"Yes, yes. It is kinda disrespectful to fight in front of the dead."

Zizhen said trying to enlighten the mood which it didn't help at all. Everyone went to the Jiang Manor, every jiang disciple were in there place and greeted them.

"Young master."

A disciple said running towards Jingyi.

"It has been a long time since you came. How is it been, and who are these...."

The head disciple looked at them and immediately his eyes were on Jiang Cheng.

"Sect Leader..."

"As You cane see they are here... Uhm can you prepare them there rooms?"

"Sure young master."

"I'll be going real quick."

Jingyi said running away immediately, the head Jiang disciple gave them there designated rooms. As they walk through the halls they could see a banner that has a drawing of Jiang Cheng with Jin Ling and Jingyi when they were only children.

There eyes widen when they say how calm Jiang Cheng looked at the wide banner. How he holds the two children, sitting in a lotus formation. The way they could see how Jiang cheng cared for the two children on his lap, how he held them tight. Even tho it is just a mere portrait drawn by the artist.

Wei Wuxian was stunned on seeing this drawing here, he never seen this before after many times visiting lotus pier. 'So this is how A-Cheng had taken care of Jingyi and Jin Ling.' he thought they then continued to walk away from that portrait.

Jingyi on his bedroom :

Jingyi was laying on his bed holding a purple ribbon whihh was the ribbon that Jiang Cheng use to tie his hair to make the bun. It has been a couple of months after his death, the place still looked normal like his death didn't took place. He looked at the side of his room a door that leaded to a lake that had beautiful view.

He stood up from his bed and opened the door, again the view was like always, beautiful and breathtaking. The waters of Yunmeng always shines once something bright hits it waters like the sun and moon. Giving it a beautiful vibe that can relax a person's mind. Jingyi was sitting on the floor looking at the moon. It's cold air touched his cheeks as, his hair flows like a water fall as it was blown.

He could hear people from the town load as always, but it wasn't that loud that it could hurt someone's ears off. His thought was then stopped by a knock of a jiang disciple announcing the dinner has been prepared and the others are waiting.

He stood up from his place and went inside closing the door, and walked over to the dinning room were there were many of them. He wasn't used to many people mostly everytime he visits it was only his mother sitting at the center waiting for him. He sat at his area and all of them prayed to there ancestors and God's for the food that was given.
