Crystal Heart

Chapter 1

It was a calm and slightly warm early morning where all the clan leaders are seated in the Yashi (Elegant room/room for guests) in Cloud Recesses. Unexpectedly, everyone got a letter from the Lan Clan leader, Lan Xichen.

It said in the letter:

___________________________________________

Greetings.

         I write this letter to you to ask if you could please reunite with me at Cloud Recesses as soon as possible, where I would like to introduce you to someone of extreme importance. If you wish to do so, you can bring a gift that symbolizes your clan as a sign of peace for them.

Sincerely
Lan Xichen, leader of Lan Clan

And so, all of the Clan Leaders are seated here, waiting patiently yet slightly excitedly on who they might meet. The Clans that came were from: Jiang Clan, Jin Clan, Nie Clan, Yao Clan, and Ouyang Clan.

Nie Huisang (curiously): "Jiang-xiong (Jiang bro). Do you think the person we might meet could be Gēgē's love interest?"

Jiang Cheng (grudgingly): "If it were, we would've already known by now; now shut up."

Jiang Cheng eye-rolled from Huisang's impatience while Nie Huisang pouted from the given answer and sat back down, trying to cool himself off with his trusty fan. Gusu is normally a bit cold or cool, but since summer is coming up, it's starting to get a bit warm. Not even a minute passed by when Lan Xichen, the Grand Master Lan Qiren, and Lan Wangji entered the room. The Grand Master seating down infront of everyone while Lan Xichen stayed up, facing the other Clan Leaders, Lan Wangji stayed up infront of his seat that is close to the Grand Master's (but not literally next to him). Everyone stood up and bowed in respect, followed by Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji bowing to them as well. Everyone then sat down except Lan Xichen, who cleared his throat and smiled.

Lan Xichen (smiling): "Friends. I thank you kindly for coming, and I apologise greatly for the sudden convenience."

Nie Huisang: "Gēgē, I don't want to sound impatient but, who are we meeting exactly?"

Clan Leader Yao: "Hmp! Isn't it obvious? I'm sure it's a love interest. Am I not correct? After all, Clan Leader Lan is such a notorious, attractive, and powerful leader! I wouldn't even be surprised if he already had someone."

Lan Xichen (laugh/smiled): "Thank you for your words Clan Leader Yao, but I'm afraid you've mistaken. Yes, the person you will be meeting is very special and means the world to me, but it's no love interest, much for my Uncle's dismay that is." (Smirk)

Lan Qiren 'huffed' while slightly shaking his head, but he couldn't help but smile since it's unfortunately true.

Lan Xichen: "I hid this person away from not only you, but from Gusu and the newest disciples of the clan. Only most of the people withing the clan knows of their existence. On why I hid them away, I will explain right now."
