Lan Han pat Lan Yin's back "A-Yin, don't cry" as they sat in the rabbits den. "B-But B-But... Waaaahhhh Ge Geeeee t-they said we have no mamaaaaa" Lan Yin cried.

Lan Han bit down his tears "A-Yin, didn't you hear what papa said? Mama will come back soon"

"B-But he said that everytime and mama hasn't come" Lan Yin cried harder. Lan Han hugged her "Don't worry. Mama will back to us with A-Xing"

Lan Yin finally stopped crying and Lan Han helped her up "Let's go out now and remember, if there are any more bad people who badmouth mama, don't cry in front of them, okay?"

Lan Yin nodded as Lan Han wiped her tears and held her hand as they walked out. They were walking to the hall where Lan Zhan had a meeting in when they were stopped.

"It's A-Han and A-Yin again!"
"Oh look! A-Yin's eyes are so red"
"Crybaby must have cried again!"
"You have no mama because your mama don't want you two brats"
"Your mama isn't even a mama, your mama is a man! A cut-sleeve!"

Just like this, they were usually made fun by disciples from other clans who came for classes, especially those who didn't like Lan Zhan or Wei Ying.

Sometimes, even harsh comments came and they were poked at and made fun of and pushed aside. For kids their age, it was very hurtful.

Lan Yin clutched the hem of Lan Han's shirt, trying not to cry while Lan Han placed one hand in front of Lan Yin protectively.

They continued spewing bad things and Lan Yin was on the verge of spilling her tears when all the disciples in front of them started screaming in pain.

They were hit by countless pebbles coming from all over the place then suddenly, a little boy holding a wooden sword smacked them all over and hit the back of their knee hard, making them kneel on the ground.

The little boy then landed in front of the two kids, back-facing them as his hands were placed on his hips in a proud manner.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind "Hi, A-Han, A-Yin" Lan Han and Lan Yin turned around with wide eyes and after a moment, the two cried.

"M-Mama?" Lan Yin asked as the person in front of her looks exactly like the one in the painting her papa always showed them.

A painting Wei Ying drew of him and Lan Zhan. Wei Ying knelt down with a smile "Mn, I'm your mama. Mama is back"

Lan Han and Lan Yin looked at each other before running towards Wei Ying and jumping on him.

Wei Ying shut his eyes as he hugged the two tightly murmuring things like "Mama is back", "Mama will protect you"

This type of bullying is not the first time it happens and of course, Wei Ying who often watches them found out. He was so mad but he couldn't do anything.

Wei Ying let go of the hug and rub their tears before giving them forehead and cheek kisses. "A-Han, A-Yin, have your been good kids?"

Lan Han and Lan Yin nodded and Wei Ying chuckled "I know. Mama watched you two everyday" Lan Yin hugged Wei Ying again "Papa told us mama is watching us all the time"

Wei Ying smiled and hmmed before noticing that Lan Xing is gone. "Did you two see A-Xing?"

The two shook their head as they saw the tied up disciples and started circling them. Wei Ying smirked and gave them wooden swords he created for them.

The two eyes lit up when they saw the sword. Wei Ying showed them how to stab the sword forward and told them they could stab the disciples stomach or smack their head.

"Granduncle say fighting is not allowed" Lan Han said and Wei Ying chuckled "You must fight back against those who bully you! If not, who will stand up for you when you are alone?"

Lan Han took the sword and went up to one, smacking his head hard, then stabbing the stomach.

Lan Yin saw then gained some courage and followed, making the disciples take turns to scream in pain or plead for them to stop.

Wei Ying watched in content as his two kids got back at the bad people who hurt them emotionally numerous times.

All of a sudden, a huge force blew him forward but he did not fall as he was protected by two warm and big arms which suddenly enveloped him.

Wei Ying smiled as he held the hand on his stomach "Lan Zhan..." Lan Zhan hugged Wei Ying tightly as he buried his face in Wei Ying's neck and murmurred "Wei Ying... you're back"

"Mn, Lan Zhan, I'm back" Wei Ying said as he caressed Lan Zhan's big hand. After a moment, Lan Zhan turned Wei Ying around, pressed his body against him tight as he kissed him.

Wei Ying widened his eyes in shock as his face flush red. He pulled away "Lan Zhan! There are many eyes here!"

Lan Zhan then noticed the tied up disciples and frowned. What are they doing? To make things worse Lan Han and Lan Yin were hitting them profusely.

Lan Zhan saw Wei Ying's sheepish grin and sighed "Wei Ying, Uncle will punish you" Wei Ying crossed his arm and pouted "They bullied Lan Han and Lan Yin!"

Wei Ying made a short explanation and Lan Zhan kept quiet, letting Lan Han and Lan Yin continue beating them.

He couldn't say anything as he did not even realise his own kids were getting bullied. Lan Zhan felt the guiltiness of neglecting his kids hitting him at once.

He couldn't even proudly say to Wei Ying that he has taken good care of them. How could he let his kids get bullied?!

Meanwhile, Lan Xing ran off again. "Hi Uncles" He greeted Jiang Cheng and Lan XiChen, then hugged XiChen's leg.

"Lan Han! What clothes are you wearing?" Jiang Cheng frowned and Lan Xing giggled as he used his sword to hit Jiang Cheng a few times before running off.

"T-THAT BRAT!" Jiang Cheng shouted "I-I CAN'T EVEN HIT HIM BACK! ARGH! NO WONDER HE IS WEI WUXIAN'S SON"
