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

With You

Carrying him in my arms I wait patiently as the boats were being anchored. Thousand pairs of eyes were on us but mine was on the person in my arms. My Wei Ying.

"Hanguang-Jun" a soft voice calls for my attention "Wen Ning will check up on the young masters, they have been through lot today" I observe Wen Ning whose gaze slides towards Sizhui. Blood always will call to eachother not matter what they are. I nod and he bows.

Stepping onto a boat that has been assigned for us, I watch my uncle boarding another one. If that is what he wishes, then I am no one to stop him. Taking a seat inside the cabin, I place Wei's head on my lap. Placing my palm on his forehead I pass my spiritual powers to him.

"Lan Zhan" he whispers and I open my eyes to find two dark orbs blinking back at me. He slowly pulls himself up and rests his back against my shoulders.

"Wei Ying" I look at him and he smiles sadly "not now Lan Zhan. I know you're going to scold me" he winces and I shake my head "No, not scold" I look at him and his eyes widen.

"You weren't going to scold me?" He teases and just then we hear some commotions near us. They were Jingyi and Jin Ling's voice. They're fighting. His eyes widen and immediately my arms wrap around his waist and we mount my Bichen and fly to the boat that was assigned for the kids.

Jin Ling has his sword drawn at Wen Ning and Wei Ying enquires "Weren't you simply going to check on these kids? What's happening here Wen Ning?"

"Master Wei..." Wen Ning is interrupted by ZiZhen "Senior Wei, Gho... I mean Mr. Wen is not at fault. He was talking to Sizhui when Jin Ling pushed Sizhui and if not for Mr. Wen saving Sizhui, he would have fallen into the depths of the water".

"Shut up" Jin Ling yells and brands his sword against Wen Ning "I will do what I want to" tears streak out from his eyes "who is going to stop me?". Probably this is the first time I realise that the kid and I, both have had a similar childhood. Raised by uncles whose personalities are cold, the weight and burden of the world has been bestowed upon him even before he had the chance to breathe.

"Jin Ling" Wei Ying sighs "please put down the sword", that statement was a trigger and all that was pent up within Jin Ling breaks out, he roars "I won't put down the sword. This sword is of my father. It was the only legacy that my parents left for me. I won't give it up" he wails as he clutches the sword close to him.

Wei Ying looks around helplessly as his gaze lands on me seeking my help and I wish to tell him that he needs to comfort that child, but he looks away when we hear Jiang Cheng behind us "What's going on?" as he nears Jin Ling, his eyes widen "why are you crying?". Lin Ling quickly wipes his tears away and walks upto his uncle. Another cultivator enquires "What is The Yiling Patriarch doing in this boat?". The accusation was clear, they expected my Wei Ying to create some mischief.

"Why are you talking to him with such tone?" Jingyi retorts. "Yes, I was unwell and they came to check up on us" Sizhui continues. "Senior Wei is a good person, please don't treat him so harshly" ZiZhen supports Wei.

"Sect Leader OuYang, if I were you, I would control that boy" Jiang Cheng warns as he mounts his sword with Jin Ling and they go back to their assigned boat.

"Senior Wei" they turn to address Wei when he stumbles and I hold him in my arms again. Lifting him up, I walk into the cabin with the kids behind me. Seeing that there was not bed here, I push all the benches together and place Wei carefully on the bench. Taking a seat next to him I close my eyes. The kids having no place to sit, take their seats on the ground surrounding us.
