Saving the MDZS Characters

24: "Pep-talk"

Chapter 24

After yesterday's revelation, Xiongzhang and I planned, of course with Wuxian beside us giving us more idea on what to do next. I even suggested to not to announce their engagement and just focus on strengthening the bond of the two sect secretly. While Da-ge also talked with sect leader Nie, his bestfriend, about strengthening the bond of the Lans and Nies.

Now, I am in the lecture hall, listening to uncle's boring lecture.

How did they survive this?

I'm dying of boredom here, while my cousins are listening attentively.

After a few hours, the lecture finally ends and, still with a Lan poise, I walked out of the lecture hall.

There outside, I found Jin Zixun, bullying Meng Yao.

What do I even expect with Jin Zixun. Can't he just die directly?

" What is happening here?" I asked in all seriousness, hoping they'll leave Meng Yao alone.

" Nothing has happen lady Lan. No need to disturb you." Meng Yao politely replied.

" I don't think this is just nothing. The Lan Clan never tolerate bullying." I blurted, still with a serious face.

No one answered, probably scared of what I would do.

" If no one would tell me what happen, I would be informing my uncle what I saw and hope he'll give proper discipline to those who are wrong." I said and immediately look at the others there who are still not talking.

" So, then, I'll be going." I said and walked away. After a while I notice someone else following me.

" What do you want Jin Zixun." I said as I saw the person who is following me.

" Why are you always minding my business? Can't you just leave me and let me treat a servant like how I please?" He said angrily.

" Well, Jin Zixun, this is Cloud Recesses and not your territory. If you can do whatever you like in Jinlintai, then do it there. Us Lans value equality. Moreover, Meng Yao is not your servant he is a trusted man of Sect Leader Nie. Do you want to be in trouble with The Nie sect because you disrespected a trusted man of the Sect Leader. What would your uncle think? You creating trouble for your sect?" I said with a straight face and taunting voice.

" My Uncle would be happy that I put that prostitute's son in his proper place." He responded proudly.

" He will be unless, if you get trouble and we call Madam Jin instead. How would you explain to her that Meng Yao is an illegitimate son of Sect Leader Jin? Wouldn't sect Leader Jin be in trouble with his wife thus being angry at you for reveling it?" I said keeping the same face and voice.

He seems speechless and left without saying a word.

*Sigh* when will he learn.

As I continue walking, I spotted Jiang Yanli, sitting sadly near the garden.

" Shijie." I called out softly.

" Yanyan you're here." She said smiling, but I can still see the sadness in her eyes.

" Jie, what's wrong? You seems sad, and please don't lie to me." I said to her.

" I am just sad for my baby brother, I don't have anything against your clan, but why does he has to suffer the same faith as me." She said with a tear running down her cheek.

" I know it seems unfair right Shijie? Both you and Wuxian are marrying into a sect for alliance. But I guess you have to talk it out with Wuxian about this. I know your worries will be lessen if you talk with him. And to ease your concern more, I'm actually the one who suggested their union. In one of my vision, I saw them married and have a kid, which became the new sect Leaders of the Lan sect." I said to her honestly. Well, if your worried someone might be eavesdropping, I already put a protective barrier around us and it comes with a silencing spell. Learning about talisman from Wei Wuxian is really very useful. Recommended. 5-star rating. Wait I'm rumbling nonsense, I'll get back to our topic now.

" You have visions?" She asked.

" Well, it's actually a secret, but I trust you. I do have a vision. I've been getting it since I was young. It help me survive on the streets." I told her my made up back story.

" Did you see A-Xian happy in your vision?" She asked hopeful.

" I did. And you did have a handsome son you named Jin Ling courtesy Rulan." I said with a smile. I know I shouldn't have mention her child knowing that in the original version, she and her partner died leaving their child orphan, but I'm doing this to uplift her mood.

" My son is a Jin? But is he born without love? Like a-Cheng and I? Born out of duty?" She asked.

" Well that I didn't see." I lied. " Maybe Jie, know your worth. If Jin the peacock doesn't love your amazing self then don't mind him. If he talk bad about you ask him to cut the engagement. You have the Lan sect in your side, so you don't need the Jin's. Don't force yourself on someone who make you feel useless. You are worth more than that. And if your mother is angry, you can use our sect name for your safety, I know Wuxian and Jiang Cheng will be happy if you free yourself from that idiot." I said. I know Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli are the endgame in the original, but I want the peacock can learn his lesson.

" Thank you Yanyan." She said and hold my hands. " I've been feeling worthless and low because of what people talk about me, specially knowing I don't wield sword. I'm weak and sickly, but your words just encourage me to do better." She told me.

" Well to be fair I also don't have a core. Everything that happens just has its own reason and purpose. Now that you mentioned swords, when I was on the streets, I heard this Fan cultivation thing. I heard you don't need a golden core to learn this, though you will develop you core when learnt, you can start training this even with a damage core. You just need to have the proper agility, endurance and patience. Agility could be mastered and as for both patience and endurance, you already have both this traits. If you want to cultivate, I can ask uncle about it and I can train with you." I offered. I don't know where this information came from. It just appeared on my mind. Hope this info is true and not a fake news, so that Jiang Yanli can protect herself now.

" That is very helpful Yanyan and I would be delighted to train with you." She said, now with true happiness in her face, not the fake one I've seen earlier.

" So I must go and asked uncle about this information hope he could help us." I said and bid farewell to Yanli, leaving her and going directly to uncle.
