THE GAME

Chapter 20

The fight lasted for nearly thirty minutes but it was not a pretty sight. Both parties suffered some injuries when it was over. Wangji's Bichen, unleashing light blue glares, slashed across Xue Chengmei's back with ease in close combat. And Xue Yang's lethal Spirit gun, Fuchou-zhe, kept Hanguanjun on his feet. It's metal stones, sharper than a dagger traveled almost as fast as the speed of light. In the end, the Jade could not stop a bullet from piercing through his right arm.

Xue Yang wiped the blood off his mouth. Spotting a vehicle heading their way,  he threw a small pebble at the Jade; white smoke blinded Wangji's view and when it cleared, both the alpha and his motorcycle had disappeared.

Back at the Dragon Hall, Wei Wuxian was laid on his bed and fed suppressants to prevent him from going into an early heat. The omega was still dazed by the enormous amount of pheromones poured into him from just one bite.

"I'll have the CCTV checked to find the culprit. I can't believe someone would do such a thing at a time like this.", Huaisang pressed some numbers on his phone.

"That's enough. I'm fine, so stop worrying.", Wei Ying mumbled. 

"A'Xian, you're not fine. Whoever did this needs to be handed to the police. I know what you're concerned about; We'll make sure it's handled discreetly.", 

"This is bad, his temperature is rising.", Wen Qing sprayed pheromone blockers so she could get a better look at Wei Ying's state of mind. Just then the doorknob turned.

"Hanguanjun!", The atmosphere turned sour when the Jade entered the room with a scowl on his face. His clothes dyed red with blood left YanLi aghast. Wei Ying covered the bare spot, flinching slightly from the sting. He could not bring himself to look the other in the eye.

"Lan Zhan...", He gulped.

"...", Lan Wangji let out his canines- marching toward the omega with one goal in mind. Wen Qing rushed in front of the bed; blocking his way. "Hanguanjun! Please control your rage. If you come at Wei Ying like this, you'll end up hurting him!"

But Wangji did not want to listen. He went around Wen Qing only to meet another barrier- Wen Ning. All the while Wei Ying lowered his head. The female alpha stood by her friend, this time ready to fight the Jade. "Lan Wangji, your mate was attacked but not fucked, so get your shit together. Royalty or not I won't allow you to misbehave.", She narrowed her eyes.

Hanguanjun gripped his sword tightly, the seethe of rage choking him made his breath stutter. How is he the one misbehaving when it was Wei Ying himself that allowed another man to mark him.

"Are you going to tell them, or do I have to force it out of you?", Wangji steeled himself. YanLi felt there was something amiss when her brother sharply looked up, his eyes now widening. It was as if he'd realized something important. 

YanLi, "A'Xian..."

Wei Ying, "Lan Zhan, why are your clothes bloody? What did you do?!". He found the strength to sit up. Wen Qing gazed at her friend, then back at Hanguanjun. "Wei Wuxian, do you know the person that did this to you?".

"He must have had a reason. I was ambushed and, and he came to my rescue; Xue Yang would never do anything to hurt me!!", Wei Ying channeled energy into his limbs so he could stand on his feet. Huaisang hurried to his side. 

"Brother...", YanLi cupped her mouth from the shock. "Lan Zhan, tell me you didn't kill him. You're not bloody because you, you fought with him, right? Say something!!", Wei Ying screamed. His heart pounding.
