The first portion is from the last chapter. I took the last few exchanges and added them to this chapter. So If you don't want to read them, you can skip it

"Sacrifice?"
They jolted at the direct indication. Is she finally showing her true colour? Lan WangJi hugged Wei WuXian protectively.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "You need to give him back to us. Along with Jie and ZiXuan, you need to give him back too"
"Sect leader Jiang, like I said, that is solely depending on his will power and health"
She stood up from where she sat and dusted off the robes. Her eyebrows scrunching when she noticed some mosses striking on to her otherwise clean outfit. She shook her head in disapproval and walked to Jiang Cheng.
"You and your nephew have something to do"
Jin Ling's mind was occupied with contentious thoughts. What If uncle Wei didn't come back? What if he actually dies here? Jin Ling was the only person who could make the contrasting characters of Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng beneficial to him. If it is not uncle Jiang then it is uncle Wei. Either way he was getting his work pampered by the two uncles. He knew how hard Wei WuXian was trying to compensate for the lost times. Could Jin Ling really think of a life his uncle Wei is not present in?
"Sect leader Jin"
Jin Ling quivered when he felt her glare on him. "What is it that you need? ", he was startled.
"I want you to bring Jiang YanLi's body here", he directed at Jiang Cheng. He faintly nodded while others looked at the whole exchange halfheartedly.
If it was not for the 'Sacrifice', this day would have been the happiest day in their life. The joy bloomed in Uncle and nephew was now vanished to thin air remembering what they are trading for it.
"And you...", she pointed her finger at Jin Ling, "What I want from you is your blood"
"What?", Wei WuXian shouted.
"Aaahh", covering her mouth with love sleeves she giggled, "I mean make a small cut and collect your blood in this", her face twisting to seriousness as she dug out two clay pots from the air. Carefully she handed them to Jin Ling, "fill this with your blood and a very small piece of flesh and skin",
"And the other one?", HuiSang asked. "What is it for?"
"The other one is for your grandmother. I mean Madam Jin"
Jin Ling was confused at the weird request. "You want me to fill my grandmother's blood in this pot?"
"I want her to fill her blood in this pot. Tell her this is for her son", she said, "a mother like her will do anything to get her son back to life"
"So... so that is all you need? ", Lan JingYi was still skeptical of this person.
"And your senior Wei", she laughed humorlessly. 'That is all I need"
"And remember I want all this before the next full moon"
Lan QiRen thought for a moment, "If we are still stuck in the same day then ........then the Next full moon is in two days"
"Then prepare to leave", she waved her hand off to the cultivator nonchalantly and looked at Wei WuXian. "You, gather some courage Yiling Lanzhou. We have so much work to do"
"No", the hands wrapped on Wei WuXian encircling tightly. Lan WangJi hugged his husband. His face is buried in the crook of Wei WuXian's neck. WuXian held on to his husband with the same desperation. His side is getting soaked with WangJi's tears.
