If Wei Wuxian was besieged before the Burial Mounds, and the Qiandao Li clan was replaced by someone else...
This is probably "For Love, Revenge, and Resentment X World-weariness, Beauty, and Misfortune"...
Chapter One: Return and Departure 01
"Wei Ying, come back! Wei Ying, come back! Wei Ying!"
No matter how Lan Wangji called or pleaded, Wei Wuxian remained indifferent, as long as he moved even an inch, just an inch! He would fall into the abyss of the Burial Mounds behind him. This was the desperate situation of the Burial Mounds, a place more decisive than the fiery pits of hell. Under severe torture, there might still be a chance to catch one's breath, but at the bottom of the Burial Mounds, there was indeed rolling molten lava, bone-chilling and soul-devouring.
The stimulation that was not enough to be described as heart-wrenching had already made Wei Wuxian unable to hear any sound. His compassion, his beliefs, his principles, all collapsed, just like himself at this moment, without any support.
Looking into Lan Wangji's eyes, Wei Wuxian suddenly seemed to float away, like a crane about to ascend to the heavens. There was no longer any earthly force that could hold him back, leaving Lan Wangji to only watch as Wei Wuxian closed his eyes and fell into the boundless sea of red.
"Wei Ying!!!"
What could be more terrifying than watching your loved one go to their death? Lan Wangji suddenly sat up in shock, but the whip wounds on his back caused him to gasp in pain and collapse onto the cold jade bed uncontrollably.
Yes, it was just a dream, he weakly reassured himself. At the moment, he was in the Cold Pool Cave in the Cloud Recesses, supposedly in seclusion, but in reality, it was a punishment for him for injuring thirty-three elders of the Lan clan. The usually obedient Lord Hanguang had violated dozens of family rules at once. If this were to be publicly addressed, it would be a major internal affair of the the Lan and could even become a "scandal" in the cultivation world.
All the family rules that Lan Wangji has violated, he acknowledges, except for one that he will never acknowledge—never befriend the wicked—Wei Ying could never be wicked!
Three months ago, he risked everything to help Wei Wuxian escape from the brink of death, sending him back to Burial Mound. He thought that was his territory. Tell me, in the entire cultivation world, there should be no one who can break the restrictions set by Ancestor Yiling. However, he calculated the Hundred Sects of Immortal Sect, but he did not calculate that Wei Wuxian had placed his trust in the wrong person.
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, have you woken up?"
There is no door in the Cold Pool Cave, but Lan Xichen still spoke at the corner of the entrance before coming in with a food container.
"Brother."
Seeing him struggling to sit up, Lan Xichen hurried over and helped him up with a few large steps. It had been three months, but whenever he saw his severely injured younger brother, Lan Xichen couldn't help but feel some resentment—half towards Wei Wuxian, and half towards Lan Wangji. But thinking back, could he really blame Wei Wuxian? It's not like Wei Wuxian forced his own brother to like him. Blaming the inexplicable feelings was futile.
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, feeling better today?"
"Thank you for your concern, I'm feeling better."
"I am your elder brother, no need to thank me. Come, let me apply the medicine for you first."
Due to the injury on his back, Lan Wangji was unable to tend to it himself, so he had to lie down and let Lan Xichen change the medicine for him. The wounds from the discipline whip had already formed a thick scab, but fortunately Lan Wangji had a lot of patience, having trained since childhood to remain still for several hours, so the period of rest had been effective. However, even so, the moment the medicine soaked into the wounds, the excruciating pain was enough to make Lan Wangji drink a whole pot of tea.
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, I..."
"Brother, just speak your mind."
"......"
Lan Xichen has always been gentle, but today he seems unusually hesitant and indecisive. Lan Wangji, who has not received a response for a long time, realizes his brother's abnormal behavior and slightly turns his head to signal Lan Xichen to continue speaking.
"Forgetfulness or absent-mindedness, have you ever thought about it for the future?"
"What do you mean, brother?"
"You know, for you and me, the Lan means something."
"Brother, rest assured, I understand. Wangji "
"Are you referring to Lord Hanguang, or yourself?"
"Each in their place, each performing their duty, each doing their best."
"You and Wei Ying, is it really..."
"Elder brother, this matter has nothing to do with Wei Ying. It all comes from my own heart, fulfilling my own wishes."
"Eh..."
Lan Xichen suddenly felt heavy-hearted, all the mental preparation he had done before coming was in vain, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak. There was another period of silence, but Lan Wangji sensed that something was wrong. During this time, Lan Xichen had never mentioned Wei Wuxian on his own, especially after the incident with the discipline whip for saving someone. Why today...
When it comes to comforting Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji instantly became excited and climbed up, completely ignoring the fact that three or five scabs burst open due to his sudden movement.
