   Xichen slowly opened his eyes, he sat up massaging his head "what happened? Why does my head hurt so much?" He asked himself, suddenly the memory of last night hit him like a cannon, he remembered how Jiang Cheng carried him in bridal style and put him on his bed. Xichen suddenly felt heat on his cheeks, he then heaved a heavy sigh "haah never mind" he whispered

   Xichen entered Lan Qiren's room, he looked surprised because Lan Zhan, Weiying, and Jiang Cheng were there with serious expressions on their faces.

Shufu" Xichen saluted "why are you all gathered here?" He asked "

Xichen, how's your head?" Lan Qiren asked

"Head? What's with Xichen's head? Xichen just felt a little dizzy this morning" he replied

"Huan-ge, don't you find it strange?" Weiying asked

"Strange? Why?" Xichen asked back in confusion

"Last night you met with sect head Xiao, right?" Lan Qiren asked

Xichen nodded "yes, right"

"You took a drink from him?" Lan Qiren asked again

Xichen started to frown "right, why?" He asked

"After that you felt sleepy and lost your balance?" Lan Qiren kept asking

Xichen furrowed his brows again "Shufu, what exactly happened?" He asked

"Sect leader Xiao has put something in your drink. Luckily sect leader Jiang has been watching him from the first time he's been acting weird with you" Lan Qiren explained.

"What?!" Xichen is shocked

"Yes, Zewu-jun. I was always watching him last night, and I saw he was carrying 2 glasses, and before he came to you, he put something into one of the glasses" Jiang Cheng explained

"Then where is leader Xiao now?" Xichen asked

"That's the problem, Xichen. He left so early in the morning, before sect leader Jiang even had a chance to tell me this" Lan Qiren replied

"But Shufu, what does this sect leader Xiao want from Huan-ge?" Weiying asked

"Shufu isn't sure either, A-xian. For now, Xichen is forbidden to leave the mountain" Lan Qiren said

"But Shufu, who will check the village if something happens?" Xichen asked confused

"Wangji, and Weiying will do it for the time being" Lan Qiren replied

"Shufu, they just got married. Can't we give them some time to enjoy it"

"Xiongzhang, it's okay" Lan Zhan nodded and gave his brother a reassuring expression

"But, Wangji-"

"Eeh Huan-gege, it's okay, Lan Zhan and I can also enjoy it while night hunting" Weiying helped Lan Zhan reassure Xichen, and used his best smile

Xichen sighed "sorry to bother you two"

“Aah no… no… Huan-ge would never bother me” Weiying said

"If everyone agrees, you guys go back to work" Lan Qiren ordered

"Master Lan, can I have a private talk with you?" Jiang Cheng said

"With me?" Lan Qiren replied in shock

"Jiang Cheng what do you want to say?" Weiying asked

Lan Zhan then dragged him out "come on, we have to go down the mountain" he said

"But, Lan Zhan- Jiang Cheng, if you say something shameful about me I will kill you!" Weiying shouted while being drugged out by Lan Zhan

"Xichen retire now" Xichen saluted and left

Lan Qiren and Jiang Cheng were now alone, Jiang Cheng sat facing Lan Qiren "clan leader Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about"  Lan Qiren asked

"May I stay at Gusu Lan for a few days?" He asked

"Sure, but if I may know, why?"

"I'm afraid that this Xiao will do something, he even dared to drug Xichen on their first meeting. I... I want to protect him" Jiang Cheng said firmly

"Protecting him?" Lan Qiren repeated

"Yes. I want to stay, and protect him from any harm"
