Chapter 17. Ghost Love Score

Even perfect beings, as angels were supposed to be, had their own flaws. One of them was a sense of superiority instilled in their minds. Every one of them felt he or she was superior to other beings, their brothers and sisters included. That was one of the reasons why Shamsiel or Wei Wuxian, as he was widely known, was frequently underestimated.

He had been the guardian of Eden for so long, that many of his brothers and sisters forgot that he had been a warrior of Heaven long before the Creation took place. The fact that he had been on Earth for such a long time made them forget he had been one of the closest friends of Michael, the chief prince of heavenly beings. They also tended to forget he also practiced white magic to a low extent.

They didn't need to know, besides the boundaries created by the Lord to protect Eden, Wei Wuxian also used talismans to set up both a protection and an alert system for Eden. He really took his job seriously. Nobody, from heaven or Earth could set foot inside Eden without him knowing it.

So when he received an alert of an intrusion attempt he was surprised and worried at the same time. In general, Michael would almost always inform him beforehand if someone from heaven was going to visit him, even if it was just to relay a message from Michael himself. One exception had been his brother Samyeza's arrival to stay in his post while he traveled to heaven. But this event had not been the case, it didn't come from heaven.

Someone had tried to intrude, this was not acceptable. He had meant to investigate on that matter when a message, from Heaven this time, arrived. Lan Wangji was needed back there. He had to finish his mission in Eden and depart as soon as possible. Wei Wuxian heart ached deeply once he learned the news.

Lan Wangji had spent almost a year in Eden after Wei Wuxian's veil fell, he knew deep down that his absence was noticed in Heaven. He was just waiting to be summoned back. The despair that idea caused in his heart was almost unbearable. He didn't know what he would do, what they would do if he went back to heaven leaving Wei Wuxian behind. He could not part from him, he just couldn't.

Just one look at Wei Ying's face told him everything he needed to know; the summons had arrived.

"Wei Ying," Lan Zhan said his name while holding his hands.

"You have been summoned, my love," Wei Ying told him, in a voice entangled with pain.

"I know," Lan Zhan responded, pulling Wei Ying's hands towards his lips and kissing them.

"What are we going to do?" Wei Ying's despair showed on his face.

"I...I have to go back...the Lord," he couldn't finish the sentence.

"No, I don't want to be apart from you!" Wei Ying protested.

"I don't want to leave either Wei Ying, but we must..." he was on the verge of tears.
