Chapter 21: Trouble Brews

It took them two days to clean everything up at Cloud Recesses. By that time, the eclipse was only a week away. Jin Ling and Nie Huaisang had returned back to their sects together, promising to meet back at Cloud Recesses a day or two before the eclipse.

The urge to go to Lotus Pier was imminent. With some further discussion, they decided ending the conflict between the spirits as soon as possible would be the better choice rather than let it affect Wei WuXian more. After the celebration, lectures began to start up again for the junior disciples. Wei WuXian, wanting to contribute more as he is an official member of the Lan Sect now, begins joining Lan Wangji at every lecture, helping him to grade papers, and even giving lessons. Surprisingly, Lan Qiren has no complaints about him teaching as long as it did not involve his demonic cultivation techniques. Jingyi and Sizhui are extra diligent during these lectures, trying to make up for the embarrassing situation they had gotten themselves in during the wedding night. Noticeably, Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen assigned both the disciples extra work as they couldn't go completely unpunished for breaking the rules.

Jin Ling ,as promised, returns back to Cloud Recesses, giving reports on whether anything had happened while they were away. Although Huaisang can not participate in the fighting himself, he sends Nie Zonghui and a few dozen disciples to protect Jin Ling in case there was another attempt on his life. He still had a way to contribute and help despite not being able to fight himself.

Jin Ling had administered several Jin council officers to take charge as Jin Chan's authority was only temporary and proved to be ineffective as he was not used to leading.

Jiang Cheng, Wei WuXian, Lan Wangji and Jin Ling meet up near the backhill to hear his updates.

"Jin Chan is still helping with keeping an eye out on anyone who might be suspicious," Jin Ling explains. "But so far, nobody has tried anything. I am surprised considering how much I am away from Carp Tower."

"I see that as a good thing," Wei WuXian says. "The enemy won't show themselves so boldly if you are surrounded by so many people. We need to lure them out, but at the same time, keep you out of danger." He ruffles Jin Ling's hair who immediately ducks out of the way, giving him a cross glare.

"Madam Lan is teasing Jin Ling again," There is the sound of laughter as Sizhui and Jingyi hurry over to greet their friend. Zizhen is behind them.

"'Madam Lan?'" Wei WuXian tilts his head. "Now who came up with that?"

"Jingyi!" Zizhen complains. "That was supposed to be our inside joke!" Jin Ling and Jingyi only smirk in response while Sizhui lets a smile with a hint of mischief.

"Don't tell me we're just going to call Senior Wei 'Madam Lan' now?" Jin ling snickers.

Wei WuXian makes a face.

"Come now, really?" He sighs. Lan Wangji's lips curl upwards while Jiang Cheng only scoffs and rolls his eyes. Jin Ling, Jingyi and Zizhen walk off to one side to have their own conversation.

"Or would you prefer if I called you 1A-Niang?" Wei WuXian's face turns red at this and Sizhui immediately ducks his head in embarrassment.

"Sorry Senior Wei."

"You can if you want to." Wei WuXian tells him, smiling. "And you're going to call Lan Zhan 'Die-die', too?" It was Sizhui's turn to go red.

"Well I-..do want to."

"Or you can go back to calling me 'Xian-baba'," Wei WuXian says gently. "You were the one who asked me if it was alright."

"Oh right, I guess I was taking time to get used to it."
"He is our son no matter what he calls us. It's up to him," Lan Wangji simply.
