Untamed Feeling ( wangxian )

chapter thirty three 🫰

With the first question unanswered, Lan WangJi played another sentence. The strings responded again, with the same two notes as before. Wei WuXian could tell that, this time, the answer was “I don’t know” as well. He asked, “What did you ask it, this time?”

Lan WangJi, “How it died.”

Wei WuXian, “ If it was secretly killed when it was not paying attention, then it’d explain why it doesn’t know how it died. Why don’t you ask it if it knows who killed it? ”

Lan WangJi raised his hands to play another phrase. Yet, the answer was the same two notes— “ I don’t know ”

It was a spirit who had been trapped here, yet it didn’t know how it died, and who killed it. This was also Wei WuXian’s first time meeting such a deceased person.

"It's getting more and more critical" exclaimed lan xichen with distress as well as fear.

Nei Mingjue felt relieved when his eyes landed on Jin Ling who was safe and sound, otherwise he didn't know what Jin clan must have done with him, not only Jin but Jiang too, maybe Lans too as Wei wuxian going to be lan.

Lan Qiren stroked his beard while running horses of his mind "What a pathetic soul? Does it know anything or die just after birth."

With a change of thought, he spoke again, “Then, let’s ask something else. Ask him whether it’s a man or a woman. There’s no way that it doesn’t know this.”

Lan WangJi did as he was told. After he took away his hands, another string sounded in a strong way. Lan WangJi translated, “A man.”

Everyone turned to look at Wei wuxian who was leaning on Lan wangji's shoulder and watching it silently.

When Lan Qiren asked Wei wuxian to stay away from his younger nephew then it was his nephew only who refused to accept what Lan Qiren was asking.

Lan wangji with his serious and blank face declared "Wei Ying will stay with wangji in whatever way he wants.."

"..."

The old man couldn't believe his ears and stared at second jade with displeased eyes but lan wangji continued his declaration without any care "Uncle should not trouble my Wei Ying."

Lan xichen closed his eyes, juniors were holding their laugh at master Lan's reaction and on the other hand Wei Wuxian had a winning smile.

"You...you..you ungrateful child. Can't  you for once take my side ? My whole life got wasted...," yelled master lan furious, his whole body was shivering.

Lan wangji only once glanced at him then wrapped his hands around Wei wuxian's waist "Wei Ying must be tired, take rest"

Before leaning on lan wangji's shoulder Wei wuxian gazed at old man with a smirk "Don't blame me, it's your precious nephew who is asking me to cling on him."

"Shut up " again shouted master lan with frustration and clenched the left side of his chest. Wei wuxian rolled his eyes and exclaimed with sigh " wasn't being rude and shouting was prohibited in cloud Recesses."

"..."

"..."

Lan xichen prayed " young master Wei please don't tease uncle otherwise he will lose his senses again and we have to rush to the healer again."

Juniors were like-- anything can change but Wei wuxian's teasing and old man's habit of overreacting wouldn't change. And also Hanguang-jun love and care for Wei wuxian...not to forget Jiang Cheng's grumpiness and insecurities.
