The Untamed 2: The Unlikely Hero -Book 1-3

15. A Quiet Goodbye

A QUIET GOODBYE

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were exhausted. The events over the last two days had been difficult on both of them to say the least. They all had barely made it out from the situation with their lives.

They both looked at each other as they entered Wei Ying's room at Lotus Pier.

Wei Ying immediately made for the bed and kicked his shoes off and flopped on it. He curled around on the bed like a cat trying to get comfy.

Lan Zhan said softly "Wei Ying," as he sat down next to him. His eyes gentle and soft, a small smirk turned the corner of his mouth.

The face Lan Zhan made d his heart melt as their eyes locked.

"Mn." Wei Ying smiled back a brilliant grin on his face. "I know. That was a pretty close one wasn't it?" he said sadly his eyes lowered but he grabbed Ln Zhan's hand and held it in his.

The words left unspoken in the air. It had been really close. They both had almost died. The demon's power was absolutely unbelievable. Both had actually been injured significantly when Huang Jin lost control in the woods. The massive explosion of energy had taken both of them completely by surprise. It absolutely would have killed a more inexperienced cultivator, but Lan Zhan and him were considered one of the best cultivators in the world. Even they had barely escaped with their lives. It had been too close of a call for both of their liking. They both were drained.

"I didn't think we were all going to make it there for a second." Wei Ying said, his eyes lowered sadly. He clenched Lan Zhan's hands tighter and began to lock fingers with his. The slender fingers felt so perfect laced in his.

"Wei Ying. What are we going to do about Huang Jin? Will she.....will she bound to you like Wen Ning had been?" the jealousy in his voice was barely evident but it was there.

Wei Ying laughed softly at his partner and shook his head, a gentle smile back on his lips. He leaned over and put his left hand on Lan Zhans cheek. "Lan Zhan.....you don't have anything to worry about.....You are my cultivation partner. My confidant. No one would be able to take that away from us." Wei Ying smiled softly.

"I didn't know if Jiang Cheng's and my idea was going to even work to be completely honest." Wei Ying said as he broke the sudden intimate contact and lay back down on the bed. He felt so tired all of a sudden.

"It's because of the yin iron in her veins." Lan Zhan said matter of factly, his breath a little more faster than usual at the sudden amount of physical touch from Wei Ying.

"Yes. Jiang Cheng and I had the idea at the same time it seems."

Lan Zhan nodded his head, his eyes lowering and a sad expression on his face.

"She has enough spiritual energy though to be able to regain her own consciousness on her own...Plus she is unbelievably powerful." Wei Ying said into the silence his eyes staring up at the wooden ceiling. "She held the demon for so long."

"The energy coming off of the demon is nothing like we have ever seen Wei Ying." Lan Zhan said, his eyes staring intensely at him.

Wei Ying looked over at his partner. He could tell that Lan Zhan was worried.

"Yeah.....I know.....I think that we are going to need all the clans help on this one."

Lan Zhan nodded and his eyes lowered. "She is going to leave."

It wasn't a question. Wei Ying thought to himself. His eyes lowered as well and a sadness filled over his heart."Yeah she probably will."

Wei Ying smiled sadly and laughed to himself. "She reminds me of myself. I mean it makes sense though we did share cores. But her power level makes no sense. I have never heard of it in my lifetime. It took me so long to get where I am at yet she has been able to get to this level without any formal training at all."
