Changing Fate (Wangxian FanFic)

Home

Wei Ying and I woke up at five in the morning; even though we are not in Cloud Recesses, it is just my normal time. Wei Ying woke early to set the new barrier. Anyone who has a Jiang Sect clarity bell can get through. Everyone is given one after birth. If you are like Wei Ying, he was given one by Yanli because no-one had given him one when he first came. Wei Ying gave me a bell as I am engaged to him, I now have the claim to one.

After setting the barrier, we were more tired then the one we set at Gusu. Lotus Pier was slight bigger, and there was a lot of water passage ways that Wei Ying had barriers for. Since we were tired, we went to go rest again for a while. We were woken up by Jiang Yanli when she said lunch had been prepared. Wei Ying and I dressed into proper robes and went out to eat with everyone.

As we were eating, Wei Ying seemed uneasy. He kept his glances to Madam Yu. She did not do or say anything to him. I knew why he was uneasy. Madam Yu had a habit of saying harsh things to Wei Ying, especially while they were eating. It worried me sometimes because it would cause him not to eat.

After we ate, Wei Ying took me to a spot he hangs out regularly. I remember it in a memory, it was the tree he climbed when he hid from Jiang Wanyin when he was younger.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

"It's just a place I go when I want to get away from everyone," he said sitting down beside the tree.

I sat beside him, "I saw you were uneasy during lunch. Are you feeling better? What happened?"

"Madam Yu is hard to read," he said, "I debate where I put the core protection on her or not. I don't even know if she would allow me."

"If she doesn't then that is on her," I told him, "you should not have to burden yourself for this family. I know you feel like you owe them for taking you in, but I don't see it that way. They have treated you more unfairly then they believe. That itself should be reason enough to not owe them anything as they caused harm to you. Not just physically but mentally."

Wei Ying put his head on my shoulder, "it's nice to hear it that way, but it is easier said then done," he said.

"We will be leaving in the morning to gather the Yin Iron, so you do not have to worry too much," I told him.

"It is still day time, I want to just leave. Other then Shijie, I don't have anything here that feels normal, anymore. I have noticed the change after empathy. I knew a while back Lotus Pier never really felt like home. Now I don't feel welcome as much. I feel more at home with you and at Cloud Recesses."

"I will always be your home," I said to him, "you have not been treated fairly here at Lotus Pier, compared to how my family has treated you. What I saw in those memories, it seemed like Sect Leader Jiang and Madam Yu only want you as a personal bodyguard to them. 'Protect them with your life,' is what Madam Yu has said. Fengmian even asked you to watch over his children and didn't even blink an eye for you."

He nodded, "can we leave early? Just find an inn? We can tell them we have things we need to do. And I suppose I can put that protection on Madam Yu, as one last favor. After that, I can have a piece of mind and move on."

"I will go where you go. I am okay to leave early," I told him. Wei Ying nodded and we went to go find the others.

"Madam Yu, may I ask you something?" Wei Ying asked.

"What is it?" She asked calmly.

"There has been speculations of a person that goes by Core-melting-hand. I gave everyone here a core protection spell to keep their cores safe. I was wondering if you would like to have it as well?" Wei Ying asked her calmly.

"Very well," she agreed with no arguments or other questions.

Once she was given the spell everyone dear to Wei Ying was safe, and people from Gusu, were also safe. We then explained to them that we needed to meet my brother at Qinghe for a meeting with Sect leader Nie. It was a good lie, even I believed it. With that we were able to leave then. Once we left we took out the yin iron to see where to head first.

"South," I told him.

He nodded and we hopped on our swords to save time. We were actually led to a small town called, Tan Zhou. I remember it being with the Lady Florist here. Remembering the way, we went to the location of Lady Florist. This time when we entered the courtyard where the Yin Iron was supposed to be, it was there.

"Xichen-Ge taught me a song called purify. It removes resentment from anything. Should I try it or are we just putting it in the Qiankun bag for now?" Wei Ying suggested.

"We can deal with the cleansing and purifying later. I think we should just gather the pieces first," I told him. He nodded in agreement.

We went back into town and found an inn to stay for the night. We could travel more but it was starting to get late as the sun was setting. At the inn, we ordered food and water for a bath.

"Lan Zhan, how are you doing?" Wei Ying asked, "I mean, you have more knowledge and memories then I do. Are you cooping well?"

With him concerned, it made me smile at him, "I'm okay, to be honest. The only thing that worries me is attack at Cloud Recesses and the indoctrination. Those are unpredictable and they may go the same."

"I will be with you this time," he said, "and I will try not to do anything to set Wen Chao off."

"But I liked that you recited the Lan Clan principles," I told him, "he got so annoyed and angered. The whole thing I remember. It was funny."

Wei Ying laughed, "if you are okay with me doing that again," he said, "and we should prepare fake swords and have daggers on us."

"Xiongzhang is taking care of that as we speak," I told him, "he has a secret message going to other sects about the swords and having us hold hidden daggers and weapons."

Wei Ying nodded again at my words, "we should discuss about the cave as well. I don't know how we are going to handle the cave this time."

"We can discuss more tomorrow," I said, "we should rest for now."

Wei Ying and I changed into our night robes and snuggled into bed. Holding each other when we have a lot on our minds has always been so comforting. We forget about them for the moment and just cherish our time.

"Lan Zhan, thank you," he told me.

"Why are you thanking me? And I thought we agreed that it wasn't necessary between us for thank you and I'm sorry."

"I know, but when you said you were my home, I now know it is true. Here in your arms, this his home," he said sweetly.

"Flatterer," I whispered touching my nose to his making him chuckle, "but I am happy to be your home because you are mine. I may have Gusu, but this here, your arms, this is home."

Wei Ying rubbed his nose gently up and down against mine. It felt nice, his love and warmth was passing from him to me. Feeling greedy for his lips, I pulled him in and captured them to mine. We ended up having a small make out session before going to sleep. It was worth it.
