Came Because of Our Song ✔️

Another Gift

The next day before the conference, the four sect leaders gathered in a meeting hall of Koi Tower. They were all sitting around a table with the box in the middle, the Little Master was standing at the side leaning against a pillar.
" So....who will open it ?" Nie Huaisang asked seeing as Lan Wangji seemed to be glaring at the box and didn't look like he was going to open it any time soon. Jiang Cheng had a frown on his face and Jin Ling seemed simply confused. A clap suddenly sounded from the side and all eyes turned to the cloaked figure. Even in the morning when he probably was asleep a second ago before, no one could get even a glimpse of his body.
He wrote something on the paper and put it on the table, on it was written  Destroy the lid with Zidian. At this Jiang Cheng's scowl deepened but he nodded, destroying a gift would convey the message that it was not accepted by the intended person so it was the best choice.
In a second the lid was destroyed and the contents of the box were revealed, inside the carved box was a handkerchief, with embroidered peonies and and golden curvature surrounding it. On one side were two words, Lan Zhan.
Lan Wangji's blood boiled. The person not only dared to breach his privacy, giving him such gifts but now even wrote his given name on one of the gifts. Even his brother had never called him by his birth name after he was given his courtesy name and never had he received a gift from his uncle or brother with his birth name on it.
Lan Wangji was furious, but none of his inner turmoil was present on his face which remained expressionless.
But his grip on Bichen tightened so much his knuckles turned red.
" What does this mean jiujiu ?" Jin Ling was confused as hell. He only knew that these gifts were inappropriate and the look on Lan Wangji's face was murderous.
" Now I think there's no doubt abou the gifts' intentions?" Nie Huaisang asked while fanning himself rrapidly.A clap was heard and then the Little Master again put his paper on the table, this time it read,  Does Anyone seem interested in His Excellency?
Now this question gave everyone a headache. Who would be so bold to make such a move? Someone with great skills, that's for sure. There were many sects present so it could be anyone. Jiang Cheng observed the Little Master, he was suspicious of this person as this cultivator didn't carry a sword with him. Not at least in his hand.
It seemed that the Little Master knew something."What do you think?" Jiang Cheng inclined his head in the direction of the cloaked figure and asked.
He got another written answer, Not a normal disciple or rogue cultivator. He frowned, that wasn't a nice clue, they still got all the sect leaders, head disciples, senior disciples of some sects.
But before anyone could say something,  another message was dumped in front on them. Check the room. May I? Everyone looked at Lan Wangji, who till now had been looking at the handkerchief.
The Little Master grabbed the gift and examined it on his hand, then faced Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji nodded stifly and then led everyone towards his room.
Upon reaching the room, before anyone could enter, Little Master blocked the way with his arm. "What ?" Jin Ling asked, he was annoyed by the behavior of this cultivator. More so that he couldn't understand the ther without any written word, if only he could speak Jin Ling thought silently.
The Little Master simply write another message and showed it to Lan Wangji, Jin Ling tried to read what was there but couldn't because that Little Master had the paper positioned in such a way that no one else could see.
Seeing the paper, Lan Wangji was glad. The message was Can we ? This stranger did know etiquettes, most rogue cultivators or strangers would jump at the chance to search his room at any moment without asking twice, but this one had the presence of mind to ask again before entering. He nodded again and entered first at the gesture of Little Master.
Jin Ling looked around the room, this room had been prepared like every other sect guest room on the request of His Excellency himself that he must not be given any extra hospitality other than what was appropriate though his jiujiu simply grumbled upon reading the letter; something about honour and attitude.
As he looked around the room, nothing seemed out of place, but when his eyes landed on the bed, there on the sheets laid a bunch of lotuses and wait, were they from....."Jiujiu!" Jiang Cheng had been looking at the low table, where the box was found when Jin Ling called him.
He whipped his head in that direction only to find his nephew pointing towards the lotuses.
