"Wei Wuxian" Jiang Cheng embraced Wei "if you need our assistance, just say the word and I'll bring the entire Yunmeng to help you out" turning his gaze to me he bowed "Wangji, next time I hope we meet under a joyful occasion".

"Jiang Cheng" I reciprocated the humility. We both have come a long way and the reason was the person standing next to me. We both saw his hesitation as he approached the Wu Meiming "Wei Wuxian told me that I wronged your family and a person like me also knows that no amount of apologies would matter but still I would. Lady Lan Wu Meiming, I sincerely apologise for what I did. I have wronged many in the past and it is a burden that I will carry with me even in my afterlife. I hope you have the kindness and willingness to forgive me one day" he bowed and I was indeed surprised.

I was reminded of a time when we were always at logger heads. He and I were poles apart. He hated my loyalty and I hated his betrayal but we were always connected. Connected through Wei Ying.

It was endearing to see Jin Ling standing guard by Wu Meiming's side and it was when she bowed back did the kid relax. His gaze met mine and I gave him an imperceptible nod to which he gave an awkward hug to Jiang Cheng.

Bidding them farewell we set sail with Wen Ning and Wu Meiming at the other end of the boat. He was teaching her about sailing and rafting. He is truly a great teacher. Patient to her curious mind.

At the other hand the boys surrounded us and I wondered where did their cautiousness go? They seemed to be exuberant today to an extent that Jingyi was sharing Lotus Pods with Sizhui and the moment Wei witnessed this, there was a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Hm.

"Jingyi" he started and I silently shook my head "did you know in Yunmeng if you feed someone Lotus Pods, it means your confessing your love for them?" His face was of absolute seriousness that Sizhui chocked on the pod he was eating and Jingyi looked baffled.

"Don't tease us Senior Wei!" He looked at Sizhui and then back at Wei "you're joking right?"

"Nope I am not" he pointed at me "ask your Hanguang-Jun if you don't believe me?".

Nice play Wei Ying.

"Hanguang-Jun?" Jingyi was wide eyed and ZiZhen was almost in fits of laughter. Jin Ling on the other hand stealthily snuck some pods into his robes. I just chose to ignore this question.

"See your Hanguang-Jun is not answering. Did you know it took me a lifetime to finally feed him these Lotus Pods? He's a stubborn one I tell you. If you like Sizhui then just start dating him" Wei commented and this time even I was shocked.

Way too subtle Wei.

"Wha...at?" Sizhui was beet red "the...there is nothing goin on" he turned to look at Jingyi who was caressing the pods "tell him Jingyi!".

"Senior Wei" Jingyi looked up and continued "why do you keep insisting that we date or get married?".

"Well for obvious reason" he picked one pod and popped it into his mouth "I want to become a grandfather as quickly as possible".

"What?" Jingyi looked around "are you even serious?"

"Yeah! Well when I was your age I already had my first kiss" he boasted and at that I laughed inwardly. Such a lie!

"Whom did you kiss?" This was asked by ZiZhen and Wei smirked "Lan Zhan ofcourse".
We were surrounded by silence but that was short-lived when is escalated with their suprise "What?".
