Call On Me

43

~*Lan Wangji's POV*~

"So, Sect Leader Jin sent his people to ambush the place while I was unconscious, but he was not part of the ambush? And to make it more unbelievable, he seemed to have some sort of unlimited amounts of people, turning San Bao's front gate into a blood bath," Wei Ying said.

I sighed, "yes, it was indeed a lot," I told him.

Baoshan and Wen Qing were sitting with me as we discussed things with Wei Ying. He was more alert and healing well. He was well enough to sit up while we talked to him about everything.

"It seems your husband found out some of his gifts," Baoshan stated.

"Gifts?" Wei Ying asked.

"Remember when I told you that you and Wangji were born with special gifts. You because it was within your blood, but as my daughter was able to see that Wangji was your future soulmate, she granted Wangji gifts as well," Baoshan reminded.

"What did he do?" Wei Ying asked.

"Wind cultivation," I answered, "and I used one of your father's special arrays."

Wei Ying smiled, "I am proud of you, My Love."

"It was quite the sight to see," Baoshan said, "perhaps you will see it yourself soon. Chifeng Zun and Lan Qiren have people keeping watch over the Jin's since they attacked. They each left a group stationed here while they went back to their own sects."

"We will have to find a way to thank them later," Wei Ying said.

"Why don't you leave that to me and Wen Qing," Baoshan said, "once you recover a bit more, you and Wangji will probably want to set an attack on Sect Leader Jin."

"Yes, luring him out was an idea we had before," Wei Ying said.

"He will but he needs a reason to come out," I said.

He looked at me, "I wonder if Shijie would be of help...she still has the engagement with Jin Zixuan right?"

It took me a moment to catch up with what he was considering, "do you want to asked Maiden Jiang and young master Jin to help us?" I asked.

He nodded, "he'd make an appearance for his son, would he not?"

"Potentially," Baoshan said and smiled, "when is the next conference meeting?"

"We would have to ask Chifeng Zun," I answered, "why?"

"Perhaps it's a good opportunity to take action then. Sect Leader Jin would already be in there so it would be easy to get him," Baoshan explained.

"Not necessarily," I said, "it's a possibility that he would not show up. Especially when two sects are against him. San Bao is too but it's not big enough to be considered a major sect."

"Sect Leader Jin is sly. He more than likely will remain in the shadows while his people attack us. It won't be until he has what he wants that he'll come out," Wen Qing said.

"I think there is a way, but it's risky," Wei Ying said, "I and know Lan Zhan doesn't like dishonesty."

"Hm?" I looked at him questioningly.

"What do you mean?" Baoshan asked.

"Well, what if we say we surrender but it's just to get Sect Leader Jin to come out. He would come out if he believes he's won," Wei Ying said.

I nodded, "not dishonest, just a trap," I said, "but it is risky. He'd probably send an envoy just to make sure that it isn't a trap."

Wei Ying nodded, "there is a lot of space in the area at the front get. We suggested a placebo array before. We set up one at the front gate, make them think they won. But they won't expect Lan Zhan and I to fight without swords. If we were to really make it work, it would have to be believed as much as possible until we have Sect Leader Jin in sight."

"Why set up an array when you can go to Koi Tower to pretend to surrender?" Wen Qing questioned, "it is way riskier to do this on their territory but what it would give you a chance to take him out then."

"I could even disguise myself as a disciple of yours and when the time comes, I reveal myself," Baoshan said.

"We can tell Shufu and Chifeng Zun to stand by so we can send a signal if things get out of control," I suggested.

"Well, this plan could work, but A'Ying, you need to rest for at least a couple more days. If you are active too soon, your body will flare up again. It might be best to train a bit first, it might help you know how much you can handle or if you are fully recovered," Wen Qing said.

"That is fine, it's going to take at least a week, if not a bit longer to prepare," Wei Ying said, "in the meantime, if we are attacked again, just have people on standby."

"I will talk with Qiren and Chifeng Zun," Baoshan said, "we can try to set it up for a week from now if you think A'Ying will be well enough."

"Maybe two weeks," Wei Ying said, "we want to make sure we are really prepared. I want to be sure I am one hundred percent physically fit to handle this."

"Two weeks is actually a good compromise," Baoshan said, "I will do send a message to everyone now."

"Alright," Wei Ying said.

Everyone soon cleared out of our room. I could tell Wei Ying was getting a bit tired, "gets some rest," I told him.

"Stay with me?" He asked.

I smiled at him, "of course," I replied and laid down with him. He snuggled close to me and rested his head against my chest.

"Do you think it will work?" He asked.

I glanced down at him, "I believe we will be alright. You and I are stronger than everyone else."

He nodded, "I just hope Shijie isn't there if we really decide to do this. She could be in danger then."

"I doubt Jin Zixuan would let anyone hurt her," I said.

"You do not know that," he said, "that peacock has had it out for her since the engagement was official by their parents."

"He has been doing better around her, from what I've heard," I said.

"From what you have heard? Er-Gege, are you listening to rumors and gossip? How shocking!" Wei Ying teased.

I smiled and rolled over to lay on top of him, "yes, and I am not in Cloud Recesses. Why should I follow their rules?"

"You have changed, Er-Gege," he said.

I leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead, "only for you."

He smiled at me and pulled me down for a kiss. He was definitely well enough for us to be intimate again. I also realized that I could send spiritual energy his way during the process and it helped his body healed further. This was when I realized this was what dual cultivation could really do.

We spent the rest of the day just like that. I had no plans of going anywhere anyway.
