«To Tame The Untamed»

"the lack of spiritual energy has caused young master wei to bleed through his nose and cough out blood." Lan Zhan just nodded taking a look at wei Ying who was fast asleep right now.

Lan Zhan saw that wei ying was holding onto the bracelet with all his might.

When lan zhan had tried to take the bracelet away from his hands he had clutched it in his hands tightly not letting it go at all.

"Mn." Lan Zhan replied sending the healer off. Lan qiren had been staring at all of this from afar along with xichen with a frown on their faces.

"Uncle are you sure that wei ying would be able to perform the last rites tomorrow?"

Xichen looked at his uncle with a worried gaze. "He has to, we have no choice." The old man said with a strain in his voice.

"That woman..." Lan qiren said thinking about jiang yanli. He shuddered in his thoughts when the images of the poor boy crying in his mind came.

"We will make sure that she doesn't meet him tomorrow." Xichen said reassuring his uncle who just nodded.

" It's better if we leave its half past eight." Xichen just nodded.

" Very well uncle."

" A'huan, make sure that he eats." A small smile formed in his face. Even though his uncle acts as if he despises wei ying. Deep inside everybody in the cloud recesses knew that he has a soft spot for wei Ying.

"I will send someone uncle." Xichen said lan qiren just nodded walking away from his nephew.

Meanwhile in jingshi.

Wei ying was fast asleep in his bed with a blanket covering his body.

Lan Zhan was playing a calming tune in his zither just like how healer had instructed him to. He stared at wei ying who was paler than usual.

' all because of her.'

He thought pulling the strings a bit harder than before. He shuddered when the loud shrill noise travelled throughout the hall.

But, calmed down when he realised that he was seated across the hall; with the zither perched up on the huge wooden table wei Ying had crafted months ago when he was supposed to be resting because of his stab wound.

It had been a long time since wei ying had eaten anything, lan Zhan made a note to get wei ying something to eat when he wakes up.

After an hour lan Zhan got up from his place and walked outside, it was half past nine he was supposed to be asleep, but here he was feeling restless and uneasy.

He found xichen outside hanshi fidgeting with his fingers. He looked at lan Zhan passing through ans stopped him.

"wangji?"

"What are you doing here?" Lan Zhan stared at his brother for a moment before answering.

"couldn't sleep."

Xichen just nodded agreeing with him " I don't think anybody can sleep today wangji." He pointed at some of the disciples waltzing around in the cloud recesses.

"Mn." He replied settling down with his brother near the pillar ; they sat together trying to enjoy the silence but none of them could. The images of wei Ying kept on popping up inside their minds.

Everytime it did, it broke their hearts "I have never seen him cry like that." Xichen looked at lan Zhan who just nodded.

"Nobody takes betrayal in a good way , brother." Xichen nodded closing his eyes for a second.
