Reflection of the Moon *The Untamed/MDZS/GDC*

序幕

Wei Yingyue gasped as she leaned against her sword, using it like a cane as she walked up the path to the Cloud Recesses. She finally made it to the entrance and let herself drop to the ground, leaning her head against the stone that held all of the rules of the GusuLan sect.

"Who's there?" A voice called from somewhere in the distance, though Wei Yingyue's eyes would not focus as she raised her head. "Wei Yue?" The voice was that of GusuLan's Lan Xichen, the sound of his worried voice reached her ears and she hissed when he grabbed her shoulders.

"Lan Huan." She breathed, the familiar scent of one of the people closest to her wafting around her, offering comfort. His fingers loosened on her shoulders and he turned her slightly, looking at the Hanfu around her pale figure, blood visible on the light fabric covering her arms and back.

"What happened, Wei Yingyue?" He demanded as he saw the fabric darken further, lightly leaning her back as he examined the rest of her to make sure there were no further injuries. Much to his disappointment, there were multiple. She had bruised flesh under her sleeves, a few of her ribs were broken, and she had multiple lacerations on her skin.

"After I returned to the YunmengJiang Sect, Jiang Cheng punished me in place of Wei Ying." She whispered, letting her head fall as she clenched her fists. "He let the new disciples punish me after he whipped me with Zidian. They hit me with the cautioning whip, tied me up for a few days. Jiang Cheng threw me out and told me I was exiled from Lotus Pier." She finished, tears running down her face as she laid limp against the stone.

"Wei Yue." Lan Xichen cupped her face and made her look him in the eyes, a frown replaced the smile that was always there on his face. She gasped when he pulled her up, making her lean on him as he picked up her sword. "Let's get you cleaned up. You can stay here at the Recesses." He stated as he walked her inside.
