When he came back alive, there were certain things that Wei WuXian put in the back of his mind mainly because he had other priorities for the time being. But even without Wei WuXian realizing it, his life had taken an unexpected turn, ending up in Cloud Recess as Lan WangJi's husband. It wouldn't be a lie to say that Wei WuXian for the time being was bewitched by the life that was handed over to him in the most magnificent and glorious way possible.

He was living in a fantasy world, with the most perfect husband in the world and an adorable son. And the fact that he is living a life that in the past he wouldn't even have dared to dream about is quite...........

fascinating and terrific at the same time.

In a blink of an eye, Two years went by and all his focus was on enjoying the new found family life and fulfilling the role of a husband. Unknown to him, the regret and guilt of the misfortunes of the past which he buried deep inside his mind was still eating him up from inside, slowly breaking the bubble he was living in.

It was one of those days, when Wei WuXian opened up to his husband about the thoughts roaming in his mind about the whole time travel and changing the past. But never in his wildest nightmares he assumed to be trapped in a place like this with absolutely no idea of what was happening around.

"Who said they are already gone to the afterlife? ", Wei WuXian questioned back.

He looked around again and watched how YanLi had her beautiful crystal eyes occupied with worry . Her figure was faded more than when Wei WuXian first saw her and it reminded him of the inevitable truth, again. Beside her was the former leader and madam of Yunmeng Jiang Sect Jiang FengMian and Yu ZiYuan equally worried as her for what, Wei WuXian was not sure. He could see Yanli asking him to stop himself before it is too late. But he was already on the edge of the cliff, wasn't he?

Turning to face Jiang Cheng and staring directly into his eyes, Wei WuXian asked again, "who told you that they went to the afterlife?"

At the burning gaze Jiang Cheng staggered. At the same time his mind went back to all the unusual behaviour he had witnessed of Wei WuXian after coming to this cave.

"Wei WuXian", his voice was shaking as Jiang Cheng tried to stop his shiXiong from this madness. "Mother and father are dead. A-Jie is dead and so is Jin ZiXuan. We both saw it with our own eyes. What is wrong with you now?"

That fear creeping inside Lan WangJi now reached his throat and was choking him. Fear of what? He couldn't understand. Only thing he could do is hold on to his Wei Ying dearly. And that is exactly what Lan WangJi did. One hand held Bichen and with the other He grabbed Wei WuXian's wrist.

"They were dead", Wei WuXian nodded his head violently. "Right .. right .... What I am asking is have you seen them going to the afterlife? How are you..", he looked at the bewildered faces of his family and friend, "..you.... all of you are so sure that they went to the netherworld?"

"Wei WuXian", Jiang Cheng cried. His eyes overflowing with the emotions he suppressed all these years and hands shaking as he is grabbing onto WuXian's arms. "Do you even understand what you are saying? Where else would they be after they are dead?"

It was the very first time Jin Ling watched Wei WuXian being a madman for real. He could not understand a single word he was saying. Wei WuXian was trembling and his voice was hoarse and shaking. Face flushed with anger and eyes burning in red with agony, it was terrifying and indeed, Jin Ling was scared.

"Uncle", he could only whisper as if any other voice refused to come out of his mouth. He was not even sure for whom he should call.

The boy had both his friends by his side in a similar state of devastation. Lan SiZhui was trembling just as much as Jin Ling was, his brain freezing and mind twisted, slowly realizing the fact that his father had lost it, finally.
