Chapter 08

The back mountain of the Cloud Recesses, shrouded in mist and serenity, was a place of both solace and secrecy.

Lan Wangjee and Wei Wuxian had always found comfort in its quietude, away from the bustling sect and prying eyes. Today, it would serve as the setting for a meeting that could alter the course of their lives.

The air was crisp as they made their way up the familiar path, the only sounds being the crunch of gravel beneath their feet and the occasional chirp of a distant bird. Lan Wangjee led the way, his demeanor calm yet purposeful. Wei Wuxian followed closely, his expression a mix of anticipation and concern.

Upon reaching a secluded clearing, Lan Wangjee paused, his eyes scanning the surroundings. This was the spot where he and his brother had often retreated to discuss matters of importance, away from the formality of the sect's hall.

As they settled down on a pair of weathered stone benches, Wei Wuxian took in the surroundings. The clearing was framed by towering pine trees, their branches swaying gently in the breeze.
The soft glow of the setting sun cast a warm light over the scene, adding to the tranquility of the moment.
Lan Wangjee turned to Wei Wuxian, his golden eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and apprehension. "Wei Ying, this meeting is important. It will determine the path we take from here."
Wei Wuxian nodded; his hands clasped together in his lap. "I understand, Lan Zhan. I'm ready to hear what needs to be said."

Before Lan Wangjee could speak further, a figure emerged from the shadows of the forest , an elderly man dressed in the traditional robes of the Lan Sect. His presence was imposing yet dignified, and his gaze was sharp and discerning. This was Lan QiRen, Lan Wangjee's uncle, and the one whose approval was crucial to their future.

Lan QiRen approached with measured steps, his expression serious. He took a seat on the stone bench opposite Lan Wangjee and Wei Wuxian, his eyes flickering with a mix of scrutiny and curiosity. "Wangjee, Wei Wuxian. I trust you both understand the gravity of this meeting."

Lan Wangjee straightened, his voice steady. "mn.. shifu, wecame here to discuss our future and seek your guidance."

Lan QiRen's gaze shifted to Wei Wuxian, studying him with a keen eye. "Wei Wuxian, you have been a controversial figure, both feared and admired. Even though I can see how Wangjee is happy with you, and I am aware, how he was suffering those years." After he said this, he looked at Lan Wangjee with soft look in his gaze.

Wei Wuxian took a deep breath, steadying himself. "I heard it from ZeWu Jun, how Lan Zhan is suffered, and how important this to him, I was orphan since my parents death, Uncle Jian adopt me gave a family but....

Hope I can have a family here, I love Lan Zhan really, for him I can do anything, even adapt to Gusu rules..."

Lan Wangjee tightens his grip holding Wei Wuxians hand, he never expects his Wei Ying ready to do this much for him, this much love, he can feel tear fills his eyes, he looks down wanting to hide it from Uncle.

Wei Wuxians continues; My past is not something I am proud of, but I am determined to prove that I can be a valuable member for your family and to Lan sect. I wish to be good partner to Lan Zhan and helps and protect him until my last breath."

In this point he feels he cannot talk anymore, just like words stuck in his throat. He can see Elder Lans image getting blur, then he feels something warm running down on his cheeks.

" Wei Ying....", Lan Wangjee took pure white handkerchief from his sleeve and wipe carefully those tears, there is a two bunnies on corner of his handkerchief, a smile blooms on Wei Wuxians lips, he knows how much his Lan Zhan obsess with bunnies, And then he wipes with his sleeves those golden eyes of Wangjee fill with tears , he never care about to keep handkerchief with him.

" Only I can cry ..." then he said with smile.

Lan QiRen's eyes filled with softness, sometimes these two act like love birds just married, who knows may be love is just like this, Lan QiRen thought, and he folded his hands on his lap.

With soft look he starts again; "And what assurance can you give me that you will not bring further trouble to the Lan Sect?" Uncle still doubts about this cute trouble maker..

Wei Wuxian met his gaze with resolve. "I cannot change the past, but I am committed to following the rules and upholding the values of the Lan Sect. I will work hard to earn my place here and show that I am worthy of Lan Zhan's trust and love."

The silence that followed was heavy with expectation. Lan QiRen's expression remained unreadable as he considered Wei Wuxian's words. Lan Wangjee, sensing the tension, reached out and took Wei Wuxian's hand in his, offering silent support.

Finally, Lan QiRen spoke, his voice measured. "Your words are earnest, Wuxian. However, actions speak louder than promises. If you truly wish to prove yourself, you will have to undergo a period of probation.

Even I like to accept you as my family member, you have to understand this is big sect and we have clan elders to work with, and now Wangjee is Clan Leader, so some of elders wants to give their daughters as Wangjees wife.

So Wuxian, hope you understand the situation here, you will be monitored closely, and your actions will determine whether you are accepted into the Lan Sect. Hope you can achieve the challenge. My bless is with you two."

Wei Wuxian's heart pounded with a mix of relief and anxiety. "I understand. I am willing to prove myself."

Lan QiRen nodded, his expression softening slightly. "Very well. I will allow you to stay and demonstrate your dedication.

Wangjee, you will be responsible for overseeing Wei Wuxian's conduct during this time."

Lan Wangjee's face showed a flicker of relief and determination. "Thank you, Shifu. I will ensure that Wei Ying fulfills his commitment." They both bow deeply with relief.

As Lan QiRen prepared to leave, he turned to Wei Wuxian with a final piece of advice. "Remember, Wuxian, actions are more telling than words. You have a chance to make a new beginning, but it will be up to you to seize it, do not give chance to elders , complain against you."

Wei Wuxian nodded; his resolve strengthened. "I will not disappoint you."

With that, Lan QiRen departed, leaving Lan Wangjee and Wei Wuxian alone once more in the clearing.

The weight of the moment lingered between them, but there was also a sense of hope. Lan Wangjee took the chance with kisses.

After several minutes of lip locks, Lan Wangjee release Wei Wuxian, his eyes filled with reassurance. "We have been given a chance. We must make the most of it."

Wei Wuxian squeezed Lan Wangjee's cheeks, his heart swelling with gratitude and determination. "Thank you for standing by me, Lan Zhan. We'll face this challenge together."

He couldn't even finish the sentence, Lan Wangjee bites his neck and with muffeled voice, " NO SORRY, NO THANK YOU"....

Wei Wuxian could only wince, "Lan Zhaaaan....... You Little puppy... ohh ohh sorry shifu you back again" .

Lan Wangjee hassled and release the neck and straighten his robes with guilty look, but when he looks up there was no shifu, only bunnies running here and there.

At that moment he knew his naughty Wei Ying tricks him.

NO MERCY, he pounces on Wei Wuxian and pin on the grass floor, for several hours bunnies didn't went that area because of the love birds behavior. (Don't ask me what happened there. I am innocent.)

As they lay together on grass floor, in the quiet of the back mountain, the evening sky painted with hues of pink and orange, Lan Wangjee and Wei Wuxian knew that their journey was far from over. But with each other's support, they were ready to face whatever came next.
