"Wei Ying?!"

"Lan er gongzi, I told you just an hour ago that he has reached Dafan Mountain. And by the looks of it, even we'll be able to reach there by tomorrow afternoon. My master is more than capable. You don't have to keep on asking every single hour like you've been doing for the last three days."

"Please." Lan Wangji frowned

Youling jie sighed. She closed her eyes and focused her mind to locate Wei Wuxian and found her climbing up the mountain towards the Temple of Dancing Goddess with a group of devotees, smiling and safe. 

Opening her eyes to face the anxious Lan boy, she answered, "He's fine. Stopped flying and is now heading towards the temple on foot along with a large group of devotees."

"Mn" Lan Wangji nodded, moving towards Wangji (his spiritual instrument: A seven-stringed zither) to play Rest.

"Lan er gognzi, I know." Youling jie faced Lan Wangji solemnly, "I've observed you for the last few months. I'm not blind to your feelings towards my master but I'd appreciate it if you rein in your emotions. 

My master is not just what you think he is. 

If you think that you know him well enough then I'd advise you to think again. There's much much more to my master that even he's unaware of. 

Consider me rude or heartless, I honestly don't care about your feelings but if my master got hurt even a bit, either physically or emotionally, because of your unguided emotions, lack of knowledge and betrayal then I won't hesitate to show you exactly what I'm capable of," Youling's hazel brown eyes glowed blood red as she smiled at Lan Wangji

"I'll never hurt, Wei Ying. I know about her and will keep learning more," Lan Zhan answered Youling jie stoically

"Even if you-what?!  You know her?!Youling jie asked alarmed, her warm gentle voice suddenly turned cold and dangerous as she stalked towards Lan Wangji like a predator

Lan Wangji nodded unaffected

"How? Explain or I'll have to kill you," Youling jie glared at Lan Wangji, menacingly

"Learnt in the sacred cave when Wei Ying told Elder Lan Yi."

"Then why isn't my master aware that you know her secret? Why didn't you tell her? What's your motive?" Youling jie whisper-yelled angrily as she choked Lan Wangji with her dark energy

"I..I want her to tell me her..self! I want her to tr-trust me!!" Lan Wangji's face turned red as he struggled to breathe but not once did he try to attack or resist his Wei Ying's Youling jie

"Who else knows about this? Whom did you tell?"

"I didn't and won't tell any..one. Lan Xixi, Healer Fu, Wen siblings and Jiang siblings are the only ones aware of it."

Youling jie loosened her choke hold on Lan Wangji's neck,  "What about Sect Leader Lan?"

Lan Wangji shook his head and only then did Youling jie release him completely

"Although I don't see how hiding this from master will help you gain her trust but I'll leave it up to you on how you want to handle it. Just remember that the moment you hurt her, you'll face me. It's almost time for breakfast. You can start playing Rest now while I guard the Yin iron and then we can leave once you've had your breakfast," Youling jie said as she sat in a meditative position and channelled energies around her to sense any kind of danger

"Mn"

~Dafan Mountains~

"Wei gege! Wei gege look! Is that where the Dancing Goddess lives?" Two-year-old Wen Yuan asked Wei Wuxian, exuberantly, while riding his father's shoulders. His warm honey-brown eyes sparkled with wonder, excitement and happiness as they approached the famous temple.
