WangXian: Infinite Love

Chapter 5

(The Future)

“Wei Ying.”

Xiao Zhan almost jumped out of his skin at the sound, he looked around startled  but all he saw were mountains. He had left his hotel to go for a ride and get some fresh air. He heard that this place was called Qishan and he was standing at the top of a cliff in a city called Nevernight. Somehow he felt a strong pull towards the cliff as if a huge incident took place there and the closer he got to the city, the clearer his dreams became. Then all of a sudden he heard Lan Zhan’s voice call out, only this time it wasn’t a dream and the voice was calling out to him.

“Wei Ying, can you hear me?”

Xiao Zhan could not believe his ears, although the voice was distant but he could still hear it clearly. Not just the voice, he can also hear the sound of the zither and all of it called out to him. Urging him to reply, suddenly, countless memories filled his head. Three teenagers stuck at the gates of a beautiful Sect because they lost their invitation.

A man in white robes with a jade pass hanging on his waist arrived there, soon gold eyes clashed with silver ones. The first time Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji met, later that night they met again and had a fight on the roof of one of the rooms  in the sects.

Wei Wuxian getting punishment for asking a question about demonic cultivation and Lan Wangji being tasked with overlooking his punishment. The times these two spent together in the library with Wei Wuxian relentlessly teasing Lan Wangji. The promise they made together during the lantern festival, the two going on a mission to look for the pieces of the Yin Iron. The attack on the Lan Sect, the Wen indoctrination being trapped in the Xuanwu cave. The massacre of the Jiang Sect, the loss of Wei Wuxian’s golden core. Wei Wuxian being thrown in the Burial Mounds by Wen Chao and being stuck there for three months. The war against the Qishan Wen Sect. The rescuing of the Wen Remnants from the Jin Sect’s labor camp. The death of Jin Zixuan and the siege against him.

Finally, the death of Wei Wuxian’s shijie which led to his suicide and Lan Wangji trying to save him. Xiao Zhan recalled everything in that moments and his face was covered in tears by the time it was all over. His heart hurt and he was panting badly.

“I am alive. I did not die. I, Wei Ying, courtesy name Wei Wuxian also known as the Grandmaster of Demonic cultivation, Yiling Laozu am alive. Turns out all the dreams I’ve been having all these years were not dreams but my past memories.” He breathed heavily.

“Wei Ying, please. Answer me.” This time the voice was desperate.

Xiao Zhan’s eyes widen in shock and he looked around only to be met with silence. ‘Turns out that when I fell off the cliff that day I got teleported into the future. I never died and all these years you’ve been playing inquiry and searching for my soul, Lan Zhan. But how can I have replied when I did not even remember who I was? Lan Zhan, I am sorry.’ He thought regretfully.

“Wei Ying! Please, come back. Wangji can not live without you anymore. If Wei Ying does not return then Wangji will come find him.”

“Come find me? What does he mean…? No! Lan Zhan, you Fuddy-duddy, you better not be planning to kill yourself.” Xiao Zhan ranted anxiously. “ I have to go back to him but how?”

The man paced as he thought of a way to return to his soulmate. Now that he has all his memories back and he knows that Hanguang Jun never hated him, Xiao Zhan did not want to live in this world any longer. He did not belong there and he did not want to be there without his soulmate.

‘Right! last time I jumped from the cliff and was teleported to the future so if I die in this world maybe I will return back to the past.’  With that thought in mind Wei Wuxian jumped into his car and drove straight until he fell off the cliff. He shut his eyes and waited for the car to make impact. He made it seem like an accident so that if people were to look for him then they’ll think he died in an accident.
Of course, he did call his lawyer and transferred all his wealth to orphanages around the country, he gave all his workers a huge sum as well. When the car crashed, he was plunged into darkness and soon after a huge explosion occurred.

About an hour later, the news of his death became breaking news in all of Asia. His car was found however, his body was nowhere to be found and the police assumed he got burnt to ashes during the explosion. Everyone was his shock, his fans were devastated and many people were mourning his death. Though Xiao Zhan always kept to himself and did not interact much with people, he was still loved and respected by many because of his kind heart.

He always respected all those around him and was always ready to lend a helping hand even to the staff or the poor. He had made donations to small clinics, orphanages and many places that were struggling financially. So it broke a lot of people’s hearts to hear about his death. His funeral was held in a grand manner and the number of people that came to pay their respects was shocking. It did not even seem like Xiao Zhan had no family at all. He had a decent funeral and will forever be remembered as a legend who made a great difference to the world. Xiao Zhan’s  found it ironic though as his roaming soul watched all of these people mourn him.

‘In my past life I was hated by all except a handful and only one person mourned me after I died. In this life I am loved by so many people and hated by a few. The heavens must be trying to make amends for the pain I suffered in the hands of the cultivation world and now I have to mend my soulmate’s broken heart and heal all his pain. Lan Zhan, I am coming, wait just a little while longer.’

Those were his last words before he was suddenly pulled into endless darkness. He could neither see nor hear anything but he was left with his thoughts. When he was Wei Wuxian, all he had ever known was pain and making great sacrifices. He suffered a lot but he was content because he had his soulmate with him. He died with no regrets too. As Xiao Zhan, he had everything money could buy, he had money, he owned varies properties and people loved him yet he was lonely. He was never truly happy  because he did not have his soulmate with him.

Now as he thought about it all, he would rather have nothing and suffer all the pain in the world as long as he has Lan Zhan by his side. He will be happy and content, he did not need anything else. The only thing he regrets is leaving his soulmate and never realizing the love he had for the man until it was too late. He can only pray to the Heavens to give him a chance to be with the man he loves with every fiber of his being and he promised himself that he will never leave the man ever again.
