Lan Zhan's Untamed (Lan Zhan x Wei Wuxian)

Let's have a drink, Lan Zhan

"Ummm" Wei looks at me mischievously as we exit the shop "back there..." he clears his throat and I turn to look at him. Walking closer to him, he takes a step back and I laugh inwardly. Oh the game is on.

Backing him against the wall of the shop, in a relatively dark alley, I bring my lips close to his ear and I hear a tiny gasp from him "Wei Ying, I think the surname Lan suits you" I pause as I cherish his breath against my neck "but you'll send my uncle back into coma" I move away from him and in a impassive face I continue "so unless you really want to, don't joke about this". I walk away and grin. Take that.

A few seconds later as expected, he walks by my side "Hanguang-Jun" Wei coughs "so what did you want to talk about?".

"Hm, this actually pertains to you. Do you remember Xiao XingChen?" I ask as we continue our way to the Chang Clan's house.

"Oh yes, he is Song Lan's friend. I think you must be unaware of this but after our brief encounter from before, Song Lan helped my Shijie when we we're on run from then Wen Clan". I look at him and he smiles, the sadness in his eyes is something that haunts him. He misses his family.

"That's a story for some other day, carry on Lan Zhan" he urges and I oblige.

"About 10 years ago, after the fall of the Yiling Patriarch" I pause and it pains me to even think of the state of affairs back then "brother informed of what had transpired. Apparently, Chang Clan's entire Sect was killed when the sect leader was away on a night hunt. Xiao XingChen, who was young back then, wanted to help the people who were suffering. He found out what happened at the Chang house and vowed to bring them to justice.".

"Lan Zhan, please continue" he looks eager and I nod "He did find the culprit and captured the assailant. That was also the time when Jin GuangShan passed away and being the only heir alive of the Jin clan, Jin Guang Yao became the chief cultivator. He promised Xiao XingChen that the assailant would be served justice and Xiao XingChen believed him. He had no reasons not to"

"Who was the assailant?"

"Xue Yang" I confirm and Wei's eyes widens.

"Jin Guang Yao made Xue Yang a guest in the Koi Tower and Xiao XingChen was unable to do much because later Sect Leader Chang changed his statement. In the meanwhile, Song Lan's sect was annihilated, his eyes were lynched. Xiao XingChen felt the responsible and thus removed his eyes and gave them to Song Lan".

"Oh my, but how does all this add up?"

"Xiao XingChen's sword was used to kill Song Lan's clan. After Xiao XingChen gave away his eyes, nothing was every found about him".

"So is he dead?"

"We don't know".

"What about Xue Yang and Song Lan?" Wei enquires and I shake my head "we don't know".

"Lan Zhan"

"Hm"

He turns to me "Where were you when all this happened?" His question is innocent but the answer is not something I could ever share. I would never be able to reveal that I was incapacitated. I merely look away "My brother was handling the affairs with Jin Guang Yao" I did not lie.

We reached the Chang Clan's house but we knew nothing would be found in there and so we proceeded towards the cemetery behind the house. Whilst there, I was about to say something when in my peripheral, we both found a man digging a grave.
