Wei Wuxian's POV:

Watching Lan Zhan explain everything to Akio is definitely not an easy feat for me. Why? Because only I can witness his pain. Having an impasive face people find it difficult to read Lan Zhan, but not me. Never me. I can read him.

I can read him because he has my soul within his.

I am sorry for having you to go through with this, but trust me Lan Zhan. I Wei Wuxian, your Wei Ying, will never leave you alone. Do you trust me?

"Why are you making this painful for him?" I smile at Hua Cheng's words as he takes a place next to me and mirroring my stance, he leans against the banister as his gaze are steady on my Lan Zhan. "If I were you, I'd never put my Gege through this unbearable pain, Wei Wuxian."

"Oh! What would you have done?" I grin at his words as his eyes does not stray away from the two in front of us.

"If I were you, to be honest, I'd have never made any friends. In all these 800 years that I have lived, it is only for one man, Wei Wuxian. When you make acquaintances and friends, one always lands up sacrificing something or the other," with a pause he turns to look at me, "and I don't find anyone worthy, save my Gege. This Hua Cheng will live just for one person and die multiple times for that one person only. No one else."

At his words I continue smiling and turn to look at my Lan Zhan, "That's the difference between you and me, Hua Cheng. You've lived and died multiple times for that one person and this is where we differ, for I have died multiple times for everyone, but" not averting my gaze from Lan Zhan, I confess my heart, "I come back everytime just for him."  

"Yet you want to leave him again?" I wasn't mad at Hua Cheng's incessant questioning. I knew where his heart came from, and even though he considered having no friends, he did make three in this world. One was Black Water, another Supreme from his realm. Two is me and third is Lan Zhan. My soul knew that Hua Cheng considered Lan Zhan to be his friend.

"For a man who claims to have no friends, you sure travelled another realm on just my one word." I point out and he didn't refute. He couldn't. I just knew him.

"Hua Cheng, can you do me one more favor? It wouldn't be the last but rather an it would bring respite to him."

"What is it?"

"Years ago when my soul was traversing through darkness, Mo Xuan Yu sacrificed his soul to seek mine and bring me back to claim his revenge. You're aware about this right?"

"Yeah."

"Hua Cheng, back then I did something that even Lan Zhan is not aware off." I turn my gaze to peer at his crimson ones. "What did you do, Wei Wuxian?"

"I left a part of my soul back in netherworld." As expected his gaze widens and he questions coarsely, "What?"

"Hear me out. When I was summoned by Mo Xuan Yu as a bait under the soul sacrificing practice, something within me wanted to leave a part of myself out there away from everyone's reach. I need you to find that part of me."

"First of all, this is either one of the most ridiculous or most amazing strategy I have ever heard. Secondly, how am I supposed to find a part of your soul, Wei Wuxian?" Knowing that Hua Cheng would never deny me, I nod and hand him my flute, my beloved Chenqing. "Take Chenqing along with you, he'll guide you to my soul."

"What are you planning Wei Wuxian? Why haven't you informed Lan Wangji about this?" His enquiry is spot on.

"Because this Wei Ying of Lan Zhan does not wish to give him frivolous hope, Hua Cheng. He has suffered a lot, I don't wish to give him hope and the next second take it away."
