Wei Ying gave a worried expression as the ghost puppets started to become aggressive again.

Wen RuoHan grinned as his plan worked. He called for more and more ghost puppets and they poured out from behind him, all in a fighting mode.

Wei Ying gave a small smirk that only Lan Zhan saw before playing a different song. All of a sudden, the ghost puppets were attacking Wen RuoHan and Wen Xu.

WangXian and allies watch as Wen RuoHan shot his fireballs left and right while Wen Xu desperately used his sword to defend himself.

Wei Ying played a sharper tone and the ghost puppets turned even more aggressive. Wei Ying also called for spirits who rose from all around them and started attacking them.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan walked over to see if they are dead. What they did not know (or forgot about) was Wen ZhuLiu.

Wen ZhuLiu appeared and smashed his fist towards Wei Ying. Wei Ying was about to defend himself when Lan Zhan ran in front of him and hugged him.

Wen ZhuLiu ended up punching Lan Zhan's back. Right after that though, ZiDian and LieBing finished him off. Jiang Cheng and Lan XiChen were just a second too late.

Wei Ying felt his life leaving his body when he held Lan Zhan and saw him spitting blood out.

Wei Ying panicked and called out his name desperately "Lan Zhan!" Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying in relief before passing out.

Wei Ying immediately carried Lan Zhan in his arms. He called for SuiBian and though it was a little unsteady, he immediately rode off with Lan Zhan.

Lan XiChen and Jiang Cheng followed right behind as they made their way to Cloud Recesses.

Despite having the best doctors, they did not know what to do with Lan Zhan. His core was still there but if they were to try something, his core would disappear.

Wei Ying held Lan Zhan's hand as he carressed Lan Zhan's face. He placed a peck on Lan Zhan's lips and said "Lan Er Ge Ge, it's been 4 days already. I'm very bored you know?"

After some silence Wei Ying said again "Lan Er Ge Ge, you have to wake up now! I said now! We finished off Wen RuoHan so you have to fulfil our promises! Build the hut and spend time together!"

Seeing Lan Zhan not moving at all Wei Ying stood up "Lan Zhan! We also have our everyday is everyday activity to do! If you don't wake up, I'm going to...!"

Wei Ying sighed and sat back down as he placed Lan Zhan's hand against his cheek "Nevermind that. You know I won't and can't do it with anyone but you. So you have to wake up Lan Zhan. Quick.

You know what you did was really stupid? If I don't have my core, I still have Chenqing and I still have you. But if you lose yours... what am I suppose to do. What will you do?

I hate you Lan Zhan. I hate you for being so reckless. I would be fine without my core but how can I let you be without one?! Why must you do that..."

Wei Ying talked and talked and started sobbing. Lan QiRen, Lan XiChen and Jiang Cheng stood outside listening.

Lan QiRen sighed and shook his head, then walked away. Lan XiChen looked at Jiang Cheng, placed his hand on his back and signalled for them to leave Wei Ying with Lan Zhan.

Days passed and Lan Zhan still didn't wake up. His core was also slowly losing his glow. Wei Ying would show everyone he is fine and to believe in Lan Zhan but only Lan QiRen, Lan XiChen and Jiang Cheng knew how he would cry every night as he stayed by Lan Zhan's side.

Jin ZiXuan after the battle at Nightless City hugged Yanli the moment he saw her. "Maiden Jiang! I love you! I love you since the first time I saw you when we were kids!"

Jin ZiXuan released her and looked into her eyes "I kept avoiding the marriage because I did not wish to force you. However, if you have no one you are in love me, would you please give me a chance?"

Yanli was way too happy hearing that. "Jin GongZi, I do have someone I love" Hearing that, Jin ZiXuan's face immediately fell. Yanli felt a little bad seeing Jin ZiXuan so disappointed.

Yanli smiled gently and held Jin ZiXuan's hand "I love you" Jin ZiXuan was surprised and when he recovered, did a victory jump.

They were elated and wanted to share this good news with everyone, but couldn't due to Lan Zhan's condition.

Yanli stayed in Cloud Recesses to cook Lotus Pork Rib Soup for Wei Ying as that was the only thing he would eat.

And one morning, when Lan QiRen and Lan XiChen went to visit Lan Zhan, they were shocked. Lan Zhan was nowhere to be seen. Neither was Wei Ying.

They immediately asked the disciples on patrol duty but they did not know anything. They also quickly sent out a search party and Lan XiChen and Jiang Cheng decided to check out Burial Mounds.

However, before they left, Lan QiRen called for them. That's right! They missed out something. Wen Qing.

Lan QiRen knew that if Jiang Cheng had lost his core, Wei Ying would have went to Wen Qing. So this time, maybe he would have went off to find Wen Qing by himself.

XiChen and Jiang Cheng immediately rushed to Yiling, where Wen Qing and her family settled.
