Messed up love

Chapter 27- New Friends

   Wei Ying's jaw dropped, "What?"
   Xue Yang nodded with a smile, "I can talk to it, in my head."
Don't call me it, I was known as Huachen in the past. You may call me that, the corpse said. 
    "Sorry," Xue Yang apologized to the corpse, "his name was Huachen in the past. So we should call him that."
     "How did you talk to him though?" Wei Ying asked.
    "I don't know, I think it's through the Yin Iron," Xue Yang said. He gave the rock to Wei Ying who smiled when he heard a different voice in his head.
    "I heard him!" Wei Ying said excitedly, he passed the rock back, "Wait...how?"
The Yin Iron is filled with resentful energy, therefore it can contact any other creature with resentful energy, Huachen said.
     "He said that the Yin Iron is filled with resentful energy so it can contact anyone with strong resentful energy," Xue Yang repeated the words.
We are only here to guide you, Huachen informed him, I am here to teach you about talismans and how to use them better. We are all here to ask you for revenge.
    "He says he will teach us about talismans, and that all they ask is for revenge," Xue Yang said.
    "We can give them revenge," Wei Ying said with a small smirk.
    "Yeah, it should be pretty easy," Xue Yang said, "let's get started then."
You have great potential, but if you loose courage and break it will take over your mind and spirit, Huachen mentioned.
    "He says we have good potential and that if we break it will take over us," Xue Yang said.
    "I know, I heard him," Wei Ying said, he looked at the sword and smiled, "this sword has a lot of resentful energy. I guess it's helping me communicate with him."
Exactly correct, now let's get started shall we?

    Xingchen was cleaning up the last spot of blood when Jiang Cheng called him, "Uncle! Are you finished?"
    "Yes," Xingchen said finishing, "what do you need a-Cheng?"
    "I heard that a couple of people from the Jiang Clan went to Gusu, it's been a couple of months and we need people," Jiang Cheng said.
   Xingchen nodded, "Alright, do you want me to go with you? Or do you want me to stay and watch over everything?"
    "I want you to come with me," Jiang Cheng said, "I already have someone to take care of everything. We're leaving tomorrow in the morning so you can rest for the night."
    "Good idea," Xingchen said smiling, "you've grown into a very good man a-Cheng. I can't believe your already going to be the next Sect Leader Jiang."
    "Don't say that," Jiang Cheng said turning a bright pink.
    "It's true, you've grown up so well and so quickly," Xingchen said.
    "It's all because of you Uncle," Jiang Cheng said smiling, "you taught me a lot. And I still need to learn a lot more."
    "I do too a-Cheng, never forget that everyone will always need to learn more."
    "Of course. Now please, go get some rest, you look tired," Xingchen nodded and went to his room where he sat down on his bed.
     He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, he felt tears well up in his eyes and chuckled, "Moonboy, look what you do to me. I spent months searching for you but you never showed up."
    Xingchen went to the window and hopped outside. Like usual he ran to the forest behind the house, deep in the trees. He fell to his knees and sobbed, he cried his heart out and screamed, "You promised me! You promised me we would be together and happy! Why did you lie?!"
    He cried loudly and felt his heart pounding in his chest he felt sick and clutched his stomach. He calmed down after a while and whispered hoarsely, "All I wanted was you, moonboy." That was all he could manage before falling to his side on the grass and closing his eyes.
    Xingchen woke up a couple of hours later, it was still dark out. He sat up and wiped his cheeks, he stood up and walked to the mansion again. He jumped in through the window and laid down in bed after changing into clean clothes. He laid there, and like every day, stared at the ceiling with numbness filling him up.
    He sighed and turned to his side, trying to get comfortable to sleep. But he couldn't, he never could. Ever since Xue Yang and Wei Ying disappeared he was never able to sleep well. Maybe a couple of hours if he was lucky.
    He tossed and turned all night until morning where Jiang Cheng walked in, "Uncle, are you up?"
    "I'm up," Xingchen said sitting up with a smile.
    "Well, we're going to leave in a while," Jiang Cheng said, "get ready." He walked out leaving Xingchen alone.
    Xingchen sighed and got out of bed. He quickly got changed and walked outside with a soft smile, "A-Cheng," he said when he saw the man, "are you ready?"
    "Yes, are you?" Jiang Cheng asked.
     "Me too, do you need me to do anything for now?" Xingchen asked.
     "No, we're leaving in a couple of minutes so just wait until everyone gets here," Jiang Cheng said.
    "Okay," Xingchen stood to the side and watched as everyone arrived one by one. Soon everyone was there and they got on the horses to leave to the Wen Clan.
   They rode for almost the whole day and finally arrived. Jiang Cheng and Xingchen were the first to get off their horses and walk to the steps.
   They were going up the stairs and saw a white figure almost at the top, "Hanguang Jun?" Jiang Cheng asked, "What is he doing here?"
    "Maybe he needs to get his sword and get revenge," Xingchen suggested.
    "Maybe, let's go and meet him at the top," Jiang Cheng said. They rode their swords to the top and landed next to Wangji who was looking at a guard. They turned and looked at each other and some Lan disciples came rushing up the stairs and pointed their swords at the Wens.
   "Kneel," Wangji told the Wen disciples. They quickly did as told and he continued, "Where is Wei Ying?"
"And Xue Yang," XinXingchen added in.
    A man who was being pinned against a fire torch raised his hand, Wangji released the man and said harshly, "Speak."
    "I'll tell you," the man said gasping, "we threw Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang into the Burial Mounds. There is nothing left of them, neither skeleton or soul."
