The Rise of the Divine Oracle

Chapter 115 - Confession

.

Wuxian joined Shenhua Clan as they continued their travel towards Cloud Recesses. What his future self told him about the abandonment of Gusu Lan Clan weighed a ton on his emotions and consumed his thoughts. Something must have happened to stop his soul-bond from seeking him.

Wuxian needed to mend that future before he attempted to fix the other stuff. One issue at a time.. That's what Yuxio advised him to do when he poured his heart out to her the night he woke up after getting the cure. One issue at a time..

Wuxian made his way into Cloud Recesses first, moving towards the area where he saw his soul-bond being punished before he left. He took the same stick Wangji was holding and kneeled in the same spot. Yuxio whispered to him: "I still don't think this is a good idea."

Zewu Jun found him first, as expected. He rushed towards Wuxian: "Wei Wuxian! What were you thinking?"

He approached the kneeling man to take the stick from him and help him up but was stopped by the hiss and show of fangs from Da Ziran. He took a step back, intimidated by her show of aggression: "Da Ziran, have I offended you?"

The snake continued to hiss, making Zewu Jun take a few more steps back.

The older brother was confused. All he wanted to do was help Wuxian. Why was his assistance so violently refused? He didn't have time to ponder his choices before Qiren, Wangji, Healer Shi and Jiang Cheng showed up. They all had something to say and didn't shy away from making Wuxian listen.

Qiren threw his hands in the air in frustration: "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?"

Healer Shi was less angry and more concerned: "Master Wei, you missed a healing session.. That's not good!"

Jiang Cheng was pacing: "We took our eyes off of you for a few days and you ran away? That was your genius solution to get our attention? YOU COULD'VE JUST ASKED!"

Wangji just kneeled in front of his soul-bond and looked desperately at him when the snake didn't allow him to come closer: "Wei Ying?"

Wuxian couldn't look directly at any of them. He felt his emotions ball up and get stuck in his throat.. Suffocating him.. Robbing his voice.. For the first time ever, his words failed him.

Yuxio wanted to stay silent and stand in support while Wuxian tried to make amends. From what she's witnessing, these bunch of idiots do not deserve her teacher's efforts. They were all yelling and talking over each other at Wuxian.

Wuxian was having a hard time holding the stick up. His hands were shaking violently from the cold and exhaustion but his will was stronger. This is the first issue that he needs to fix. He just doesn't know how to start with his voice trapped within him.

Wangji inches closer to touch Wuxian at the risk of being bitten. He didn't care about pain, he just wanted to feel his mate in his arms once again.

Yuxio snapped and planted her fire lit sword on the ground to block his advances. She screamed at the top of her lungs: "ARE YOU ALL SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?"

They were all silenced by her loud voice. Wuxian closed his eyes, trying to compose himself. This was his chance. They will listen.

Yuxio turned to look at Wuxian and saw his lips quiver. He was stuck.

She turned to glare at the men before her: "You have got to be the worst family in the history of all families if this is how you treat one of your own! YOU WON'T EVEN GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO BREATHE LET ALONE EXPLAIN HIMSELF!"
