(Ancient China)


A man clad in pure white robes strolled leisurely along the corridors of what seem to be a beautiful sects. Passing by many disciples who stopped to bow in respect every now and then. His face was stoic, he had a perfect posture and his golden eyes were cold. He carried a sword with one hand, the other hand rested on his back and his forehead ribbon glimmered in the sun. A cold aura see to be surrounding him which made most people of his generation fear him. Even the older generation feared him but he couldn't care less about those people.


Some say he became is stone hearted and others say he became more heartless over time. Many believe that this change was due to the chaos caused by the Yiling Laozu, Wei Wuxian who was known to be the man's enemy. After Wei Wuxian turned to demonic cultivation thus betraying the entire cultivation world, the man in white also known as the second Young Master of Gusu Lan Sect, Lan Wangji had tried to stop him. However, the Yiling Laozu did not listen to him and had ended up killing over thirty thousand cultivators ...


"Wangji?" A gentle voice called out softly.


The man who had been lost in thoughts was brought back to reality. He stared at the ground for a second before turning slowly to face the owner of the voice.

"Xiongzhang. (Big brother)" Lan Wangji bowed to his older brother in respect.


The man standing in front of him had a gentle smile on his face. His eyes were calm and filled with affection as he studied his brother. He was clad in blue robes with a forehead ribbon and he was also carrying a sword in one hand.


This man was Lan Xichen also known as Zewu Jun, he is Lan Wangji's elder brother and the leader of the Lan Sect.

"It has been five years since he died. Wangji, it is time you stop looking for him."


Lan Wangji looked away from his brother, his golden eyes filled with sorrow. His hold on his sword tightened and his face hardened. "Xiongzhang. Wangji has work. Wangji will leave first." He bowed and quickly left before his brother got a chance to say anything.


Lan Xichen sighed as he stared at his Didi's back. (Little brother's). He knew there was no point in talking his brother out of the situation the man had put himself in. Everyone thought his brother hated Wei Wuxian but the truth was far from it. Ever since Lan Wangji met Wei Wuxian when they were younger during guest lectures in Gusu, the second Jade of Gusu had fallen head over heels in love with the boy.


But since Lan Wangji was never a talker nor did he express his emotions, he could not tell the other boy that he loved him. So the relationship between the two was always misunderstood. Even Wei Wuxian thought that Lan Wangji hated him.


"Wangji, I hope one day you will find peace. I know that you considered him as your soulmate and a Lan only loves once but I wonder for how long you will keep searching for him."


With that last thought, Lan Xichen left the place. Meanwhile, Lan Wangji sat in the library pavilion reading but his mind was clouded by memories. A cheerful laughter filled his head, silver eyes twinkling with mischief and a bright bunny smile. He could still hear that joyful laughter and the teasing voice in his head. Lan Wangji knew that if he closed his eyes then he would definitely see that face, the face of his soulmate, same face of the person who owns his heart and his soul. But Lan Wangji did not want to see his face, he wanted to hold the man and feel his warmth...


"Lan Zhan, look at me!" A cheerful voice snapped Lan Wangji out of his thoughts. The man looked up only to have his breathe taken from him when he saw a tall figure clad in black robes in front of him.
