" Sect leader Lan, Senior brother, and my Junior brother are missing!" I yelled

" They're missing? Wangji has lived here for quite a long time, and Young master Wei...He's at Cold Spring with Wangji. They probably won't be lost but.... Give me a more clear explanation." He told me.

" I went to bring Senior brother medicine, and...and I didn't see him there or anywhere in the whole Back mountain." I panted.

" Don't run or yell in front of Uncle. I'm going to report to him that Wangji and Young master Wei is missing."

We went to Ya-Shi, and Lan Xichen told Lan Qiren about the missing people.

" How are they missing? Wangji knows the whole place pretty well. Unless..." Lan Qiren paused.

" Uncle is talking about..." 

" Yes."

" It could be since they were at Cold Spring. But this early... Wasn't much expected."

" Um... Do you guys have any clue where they've gone? I've lived in Cloud Recesses like basically my whole life, and I've searched everywhere and still couldn't find them." I asked in a panic.

" No worries. It's about Lunch, if you don't prepare Lunch soon, we're going to starve." Lan Xichen told me.

" Yes, Sect Leader Lan," I said, bowing and retreating to the kitchen. I decided to make today's meal simple, just rice and some vegetables. I am going to find some disciples to carry the food to everyone so I have time to look for my two non-biological brothers.

**************************************

One day later, they were finally found. We weren't sure where, only that they walked out of the back mountain with Jiang Wanyin and Wen Liqing and went straight to Ya-Shi.

I heard a bird somewhere. There weren't any bits here in Cloud Recesses for that they were loud and disturbing. I went toward it, and I was surprised as the owl of Qishan Wen clan shot up out of the trees. I went to Wen Liqing's room to ask about it.

"Liqing."

"Maiden Qin."

"How many times do I have to tell you, to just call me Silian?"

"You are one of the most respected disciples in Gusu Lan sect and the crystal of Gusu, how can I randomly call you by your name?"

"Jie!"

I turned around to see Wen Qionglin, running towards his sister.

"Maiden Qin." He said, bowing when he saw me.

"Qionglin, Liqing, call me Silian. We're all friends anyway. Oh right, I brought some medicine for your brother. It's supposed to help recover spiritual power. These kinds of herbs are pretty rare, but actually could be seen all over my garden. And I came here to ask about something..."

"Silian, what do you want to ask about?"

"About the owl of Qishan Wen clan... do you know why it's here?" I asked

"You suspect me?"

"No, I believe you won't do something like this, but the Second Childe Wen...do you know why he came this time? And why he brought you?"

"I..."

"I believe you, and I won't hurt a hair of anyone in your family. Even if you commit an evil act like those others in the Wen clan, I'm sure you have your reasons."

"I can tell you some things, but I can't get into the details."

"I'm glad you trust me. I won't tell a soul about what it is to others."
