Mo Dao Zu Shi: Together |Zhuiling| ✅

Chapter-18

After finishing up the meal in restaurant, the trio made up their trip to Lotus Pier to meet Sect Leader Jiang. And on their way they didn't meet with Wei Wuxian and Hanguang-jun. Not even the sight of them. It was as if both of them vanished into this air to do their deeds secretly.

Jin Ling led the way, followed by Shizui then Jingyi.

Jingyi called, "Hey guys."

Both Shizui and Jin Ling turned towards him in unison.

Jingyi first looked at both the side then said in hushed voice, "Lets drink some alcohol later."

"We can't." Without any hesitation Shizui denied.

Jingyi retorted, "But why?"

Shizui said, "We've come here with Hanguang-jun and Wei gongzi. If we get caught, you know the punishment."

Jingyi leisurely said, "We won't. And even if we get, it would only be copying the rules hundred times."

Shizui, "..."

JinLing snorted, "Huh, you've got the punishment so many times that this is nothing to you."

Jingyi, however proudly said, "You're correct. My hands are now immuned to such punishments and so it doesn't ache much."

Shizui could only sigh and shook his head.

After reaching the Lotus Pier, the ofcourse met with Jiang Cheng who was waiting for them.

Jiang Cheng had already served those few dishes that either he himself had made or asked someone else to make.

Both Shizui and Jingyi cupped their hands, bowed their heads and greeted him, "Sect Leader Jianh."

Jiang Cheng looked at them and nodded, "Have a seat. You two are A-Ling's friends. Lets have a dine together."

Both Shizui and Jingyi took a seat, and sat side by side. Jin Ling sat next to Jiang Cheng.

Shizui said with an apologetic smile, "We apologize Sect Leader Jiang for having went through so much trouble for us."

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth to speak, but before him Jin Ling said, "Don't feel apologetic." Jin Ling waved his hand in the air, "Feel like home. Eat how much you want and however you wish. This isn't Gusu, here's no rule."

Jiang Cheng closed his mouth.

Jingyi said, "Well... I won't eat too much. I just had some soup and dessert before comming here."

"Doesn't matter." Jiang Cheng said, "As A-Ling said eat how much you want."

Both Jingyi and Shizui nodded in unison with a "Hmm."

Jingyi had said he wouldn't eat much, but to the contrast of his statement he ate three bowl of rice. And as Jin Ling said eat however you wish, he really did forgot his GusuLan rules while eating this time.

Shizui on the other hand, looked nothing less than a prince. Elegantly eating two bowls of rice with soup and vegetables, he wasn't a picky eater, unlike Jingyi and Jin Ling. He ate whatever was edible.

Even Jiang Cheng felt that he was eating too nicely. So, he glanced at Jin Ling to check how this nephew of his eats only to find out that Jin Ling was staring at Shizui like how a cat stares at a mice.

It wasn't until Jiang Cheng really felt uncomfortable and coughed twice that Jin Ling averted his gaze and focused on eating.

He heard Shizui ask, "Is Sect Leader Jiang well? The weather is changing so its quite common to catch a cold."

For a moment Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say or how to reply, before he finally said, "Its fine."

Jin Ling said, "You should properly take care of yourself uncle. Have some herbal tea daily in the morning."

Jiang Cheng glanced at his nephew in disbelief. Part of him was shocked and part of him was happy, that finally this stupid nephew of his was growing some brain cells. And was asking someone if they were fine.

Jiang Cheng replied, "Okay." He further added, "Since when do you know each others?"

Jin Ling scratched his chin with his right hand's finger and said, "Since a long time ago."

Jingyi still had some rice inside his mouth. He hurriedly chewed and swallowed it and said, "We first met in Dafan mountain right! When Wei Wuxian summoned Ghost General in front of us."

Shizui pursed his lips and heavily said, "Yes."

Jiang Cheng didn't say much. After they finished the meal, they bid farewell to Jiang Cheng. And went to different stores to ay games during food festival. They played shooting game, ring game, cards and lot more."

In mid of walking around the fare Jin Ling suddenly felt someone kept his had on his shoulder, out of reflex, he shouted, "Who's that?!"

Only after he turned his whole self did he realise who this person was. The one who had been lost since morning and beside him stood another man in white robe and forehead ribbon with an expressionless face.

They were ofcourse Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

Wei Wuxian grinned, "Aww did I scare A-Ling?"

Jin Ling, "..."

Shizui too turned around and greeted them, "Ah... Hanguang-jun, Wei gongzi."

Jingyi couldn't be left behind. He too said, "Hanguang-jun. Wei Wu....gongzi."

Lan Wangji nodded.

Wei Wuxian said, "So, what you people were doing in our absence? Its already evening now."

Jingyi said, "We ofcourse ate."

Shizui said, "And played lots of games."

Jin Ling finished, "And were planning to drink, but you came."

Jingi, "..."

Shizui, "..."

Jingyi hurriedly said, "We weren't planning to drink." Then he turned to Jin Ling, "We were only joking about it, understand!"

Jin Ling let out an "Oh" and crossed his arms but didn't continue.

Wei Wuxian smirked, "Oh... So you guys were planning to drink alone? Let me join in!"

Shizui hurriedly denied, "Wei gongzi you got us wrong. We wouldn't dare to drink. Specially in front of Hanguang-jun!"

Wei Wuxian supported right elbow with left hand, and his right cheek with right hand and turned towards Lan Wangji, "Lan Zhan~ today is a special day. So, we should all drink to ohr heart's content right?"

Lan Wangji, "Mn."

Wei Wuxian asked, "So can we all drink? Together?"

Lan Wangji, "Mn. Together."

Wei Wuxian smiled and turned towards juniors, two of which had a twiched face and one had a stiff smile. He said, "We're allowed to drink. Lets go!"

Jin Ling, Shizui and Jingyi, "..."

But whatever, such opportunity soldelmy used to get, so they quitely followed the two.
