Black flower fans Chapter 3

Cloudy grey

After the long trek up the mountain, the group saw the white gate of cloud recess along with 2 guards that were dressed in the usual white gusu lan robes. They asked for the group's invitations which Yaling and Xiang handed over. Their gaze shifted to the three Jiangs who explained that they had left their invitation at the inn in Caiyi. Wei wu xian tried to plead with the gatekeepers but they didn't budge. Yaling was about to help with the Jiangs case but before she could 3 more men in white robes show up to the gate carrying what looked to be a dead body.

'Now that is weird. The man looks to be from the Lan clan as well so what happened to him? There are marks over his face which is probably caused by some material but just what is it?' Yaling thought with widened eyes. She was ripped out of her thoughts when one of the men firmly stated that the Jiangs couldn't go into the cloud recess without an invitation. He had a serious and slightly cold expression and a headband which gold cloud designs in the center. That gave Yaling the answers that the man talking to Wei wu xian was Lan Wangji.

He turned to look at The Zhangs and told them to head inside cause they had an invitation. Xiang wanted to stay and wait for the 3 Jiangs but was denied. The duo gave a wave to the three Jiangs and headed past the gate, Higher up the mountain. Before they left they saw Lan Wangji put a silencing spell on Wei Wu Xian.

When the 2 reached the top they were greeted by more disciples of the lan clan and some stunning views. Although Xiang quickly pointed out to her the large rock which had the engravings of all 3000 gusu rules making Yaling a bit less excited than before.

' If I thought our parents were strict, well I was very wrong. I don't know how any sane person can take time to memorize this but I applaud those who do.'

"I understand you need some rules but 3000? That is just too much. Is it even possible to go a day without breaking any of the rules?" A Jiang disciple said. Slightly appalled.

Yaling and Zhang silently agreed to his statement but weren't as bold to state it. They simply made a small noise of agreement.

The lan disciple a few feet away coughed and told the groups that that would be heading to their living quarters to settle in and prepare for the gift ceremony. Yaling let her eyes slide to her brother as to silently ask if he had brought the gift. He gave a nod in return lifting her worries from her shoulders.

' if we had forgotten that gift we would have been doomed with endless embarrassment for our clan and ourselves.' she thought with relief.

The gifting ceremony was going to commence in about an hour and Yaling was still trying to wake Xiang up. Well, he was up but, he just wasn't out of bed. The demons have been acting extremely restless for some unknown reason. They caused Xiang a headache that's worse than any of the ones he's had before. Playing the song she had planned to play in the early morning she soothed the headache enough so that he could go to the gifting ceremony.

After the Song, Xiang explained that he saw something happening with His excellency. Xiang said that His excellency wanted to put together some sort of iron and that he had Xue yang with him. Xiang also said that he heard his excellency order a woman in red to go to gusu to find one of the pieces of iron with her brother.

"Well, that is certainly weird. The woman must be from the wen clan but from what you told me she may only be doing it to keep her brother and herself safe. If his excellency brought Xue Yang there as well then that might mean that he also has another mission. I'm afraid that our supposed good time at Gusu must be cut short." Yaling said with her mind reeling. Xue Yang is no good and if there really is this special iron in Gusus then they should try to find it to prevent other bad people from getting it.

They finished putting their White robes given to them and Yaling grabbed the gift and her fans. She stored both in her belt and handed Xiang his sword. The two then meet up with the Jiangs and walk towards their first lecture.

Walking into the lecture room Yaling saw all different types for all different sects. On the left side were the Jins and Lans. Her gaze shifted to her newfound friend Main Main and she gave a wave towards her which she smiled too. On the left was the Nie sect and The rest of the room was supposedly for extras and the Jiang and Zhang clan.

Her eyes wandered for a second more before she went to sit. Most of the Nie clan carried Sabers but she saw that there was one who didn't carry one. Instead, he carried a fan just like her although she guaranteed that they didn't have blades on them. Her eyes also fell on a man who didn't wear the clothes given by the Lan clan but wore grey colored clothes.

' The man in grey I'm not sure who he is although the man with the fan is probably Nie Mingjues younger brother, Nie Huaisang. He doesn't seem like his brother at all but sometimes that's a good thing. He looks like a nice person'

Feeling it was bad to stare, she took her place, next to Yanli and in front of Xiang. The seats weren't assigned but they were the only ones left.

As the lecture started Yaling's hand grew tired of taking notes and decided that these rules were not worth writing down. 'You have to break at least one rule here in your life right? I think I might go hang out with Yanli later and maybe invite Main Main. I think we could be good friends.' She stood up with the rest of the class because they ended the note section.

Not even a minute later she heard a bird chirp behind her. ' is that a bird? None flew in which means that someone must have brought one in. It looks like Xiang caught the sound as well.' She turned around and saw Nie Huaisang Showing Wei wu xian his bird in the middle of a lecture. She raised her eyebrows and gave a smile to the bird. ' This Nie Huaisang has got some guts to bring a Bird to class. What if the bird chirps extremely loudly? Then he would get in trouble no doubt. He's quite interesting.'

She saw Lan Wangji cast a glare at Wei wu xian after He sent a Turtle picture at Lan Qiren back. She heard Nie Huaisang Snicker and hid his face in a fan and Yanli risked a small smile. Yaling herself had to put a hand on her mouth to stop from laughing. Wei Wu Xians Antics seemed to never end.

Unfortunately, he got caught and had to answer a bunch of questions. Finally, there was one he couldn't answer which made him do a punishment of copying rules 300 times. 'Even thinking of that makes my hand hurt. And with 3000 rules his hand would be good as dead. Good thing he had a month to complete it although it would really hurt your hand after.'

Yaling thought that was going to be the end of strange occurrences but she was wrong. True to Xiang's words the Woman in red, as well as her brother and countless others, showed up. That causes Xiang and others to whip out their swords and point it at them. ' This day keeps getting weirder. Pulling out my weapon now would be excessive so I'll restrain from doing that. Violence is not always the first option. Besides they aren't even pointing their swords at me. Hopefully, someone puts an end to this before I have to step in.'
