'I agree with your plans ...' XiChen had stood there in shock at how far the pair had gone over night but was thrilled when Wei Ying even made that obviously painful laugh. Some healing has happened ... but there is still a long way to go before he is himself again. Even if WangJi can not see it, I see the overwhelming pain in Wei Ying's eyes. 'And if anyone else disagrees, I am the leader of this sect so my rules are the ones that matter the most.' He turned without waiting for a reply from either. As he hurried to the gate with his baby brother carrying Wei Ying gently he fought the blush that wanted to rise. Now all I have to do is .... work out how to inform uncle that they want to marry .... Doing it in front of the ancestors ... Wearing red ... And I have already given my personal permission for this to happen .... Oh dear, this is going to be a tough one to talk uncle into just letting happen. Maybe I can send him on some kind of mission ... or something, so when he returns; it's over and done with.

Wen Ning stood perfectly still at the gates looking up until the moment he saw Lan Zhan carrying Wei Ying down to the gates. The man who was being carried was nothing but bones and the wounds under his eyes .... If he had a heart that was any good, it would literally break at this sight. That was when his resolve broke and he tore up to them. 'Master Wei .... What happened to you?' He glared at the man who held his friend ready to rip them apart and take Wei Ying away with him.

Lan Zhan let Wei Ying stand only so he could reach for his sword only to feel a hand over his to stop him.

XiChen stood there and rolled his eyes at the two who thought they were the one to protect Wei Ying from everyone, but he knew no one would beat his brother's possessiveness and protective instinct.

As Wei Ying stopped Lan Zhan from attacking Wen Ning with one hand, he held out his other hand and placed it over Wen Ning's heart. 'Wen Ning, its fine ....'

'It is not fine Wei Ying, anyone looking at you would realise just how bad your state is.' Lan Zhan looked at him.

'Zhan ... I'm busy trying to calm him down and you go and rev him up a little more?' Wei Ying looked up at Lan Zhan. 'Please ...' there was an instant Change him his eyes.

XiChen was utterly shocked that anyone could make his baby brother Change his mind with so few words.

'Okay.' Instantly he lifted Wei Ying back into his arms even as he made sure Wen Ning didn't get any closer to him. 'Let's find a place to talk in private as I really want to hear Wen Ning's news.'

'And I would like to know what has been happening that would leave ....' Wen Ning suddenly stopped and looked at the ground realising he was so angry that he was demanding others to tell him things. 'I am sorry.' He lowered his head.

'Young Master Wen, there is no need to apologise just because you are anxious over someone you think of as family.'

'Thank you Leader XiChen.'

'Lets go to the your room again WangJi ... that way we may have a small chance of you letting go of Wei Ying?'

'Hmn.' Was all he said as they walked back to the room.

When Wei Ying was tucked up back in bed, with Lan Zhan sitting beside him with his arm around his shoulder, they looked to Wen Ning.

'Wen Ning .... Can you tell me where you have been?'

'You remember telling me to wait at the gates of the temple?'

'Yes.'

'Just as you turned the corner to go around the temple, I looked to the outskirts of town and saw a massive cloud of resentful energy moving slowly towards the town .... So I hurried towards it only to find Baxia over flowing with resentful energy .... It was heading straight for the temple but I knew I needed to give you time so I ...' he faulted and looked at the ground.
