After Wei Wuxian's death, many celebrated but some mourned for their loved ones but they didn't know the truth or don't need to know. The terrifying truth that would make them kneel down on their knees and beg for forgiveness from the said person.
O...
Hua Wuxian smiled at his son and his two friends. Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui were stunned by Hua Wuxian when he come out of the bushes. They thought they would see a female, not a male!
"You are?"
Jin Ling blurred out. Hua Wanning stood up and introduced Hua Wuxian with a wide smile.
"This is my Niang. You already know his position."
"Nice to see you."
Hua Wuxian greeted. Lan Sizhui was in a daze but he quickly come out of it when Hua Wanning tabbed his shoulder.
"Ah. My name is Lan Yuan, courtesy name Lan Sizhui. It's nice to meet you, fourth Grandmaster."
Hua Wuxian tilted his head before asking in a curious voice.
"Hmm... Are you perhaps from the Lan Sect?"
Lan Sizhui nodded subconsciously. He doesn't know why but the person in front of him somehow reminded him of someone in his dream. He looked at the person for a while before trying to ask but was interrupted.
"My name is Jin Ling. Nice to meet you, fourth grandmaster."
Jin Ling greeted. Bowing properly, it was the first time Lan Sizhui or even Hua Wanning saw him being so... you know, formal.
"I thought you were just a peacock that likes to flaunt." Hua Wanning accidentally blurred out.
Jin Ling shot up immediately and glared at him before he sheathed his sword and started to chase Wanning. Wanning crooked out a trouble-making grin while evading and easily outrunning Jin Ling.
Hua Wuxian watched his son having fun. It was the first time he saw his son has that smile that he usually wore. It was the first time the said son was having actual fun except for writing down syllables or cultivating. It was a new atmosphere for him to say the least.
Lan Sizhui observed the man in front of him. The overrobe was black with the hem of each has red embroidery of vermillion flowers. The hanfu was rather simple as it was in the color of crimson red with patterns of butterflies in golden threads. His hair was in a half ponytail with two braids attached to the crimson ribbons. The man in front of him, claiming to be the mother of his new friend fit the word beautiful more than handsome. He watched as a small grin made it to the man's face. It was familiar.
'Who are you?'
"Master."
Lan Sizhui tore his gaze away from the fourth grandmaster to a man about 180cm tall with long hair that has blue, yellow and red stripes. He was wearing what it seemed to be a white military hanfu with golden accents all over, the short jacket with silver hung over his shoulder that held together by a golden dragon head shape.
Lan Sizhui was utterly confused about why he had reacted. He turned to see the fourth grandmaster looking surprised.
"Huh? What are you doing here, administrator Yang?"
Hua Wuxian blurred it out. He looked between Lan Sizhui and the administrator Yang before concluding.
"Are you-"
"Absolutely not! He's my master, the one I want to do a contract with." The administrator Yang said.
He sighed and glared at Hua Wuxian but the young man just waved and smirked at him with a mischievous smile. He hated that smile. The smile of pure mirth and entertainment. It was annoying.
He huffed before turning to attention to his confused master.
"My name is Yang Ling [1], administrator of the HuangLonng forest and the one maintaining the divine beasts if the king wasn't present. Please to meet you."
He gave a little bow, causing Lan Sizhui to flinch at the curtsey. It was unusual for him to receive such formality.
"I came here to accompany you down the mountain and into the mortal world. Please take care of me."
"Ermm..."
"Woah, Woah, Woah. Wait a dam minute. Administrator Yang, what about your work? Doesn't uncle-in-law's place have rules? Like that one rule of no one can be out of the pose if you aren't 5000 years? The dam rule, administrator Yang!"
Hua Wanning somehow escaped from Jin Ling and cut in almost immediately. He even have a heavy-looking book in hand - it was the rule book. Where did he get that? You and them don't need to know the details.
"Page 119, young master. Rule 189 stated that those with masters or contractors would be allowed to go out with them. Unless you earned their approval though. And I'malready over 6000 years."
Yang Ling informed nonchanlantly. He, Lan Sizhui, and Hua Wuxian watched as the young boy turned to page 119 and buried his head in it.
After a while, he surfaced with an 'oh' face. He nodded and muttered to himself.
"Chu Wanning! Get back here!"
They heard Jin Ling's voice from afar. He was with his uncle and father.
"Oh no..."
