Wei Xianying 'A story untold' (Wangxian)

Qishan And Adversities "Part 8"

“……it’s been three days. Three days since we persuaded Jiang gongzi to guide the way and leave from here along with Hu Xing and all the disciples. I know… he didn’t want to leave his unconscious brother behind in our care but, Wangji… we didn’t have another choice!

Jiang gongzi was the one who courageously ventured in this deep dark and turbid waters of the lake, despite the presence of that huge monster, when we couldn’t find any other way of leaving this ancient cave after hours and hours of tireless searching!

And don’t we already know that he risked his life to find a way out of here only because of the quickly passing time, causing more and more delay in Wei gongzi’s treatment?!…

But the disciples, even Hu Xing, they were all so scared! They saw with their own eyes how that monster slaughtered several cultivators so easily, without even a fight!

If not for Jiang gongzi’s motivation and guidance, you too know that none of them felt confident enough to venture into the lake even if it meant that they could finally escape from the cave and return to safety!

I know what you’re saying is right but what were the chances of our winning, Wangji?!

It was only for a short while that the monster was asleep and inactive.

Not even four hours after all the disciples made their way out, under the guidance of Jiang gongzi, the monster awoke from its deep sleep and somehow blocked the only way for us to escape from this cave along with the unconscious Wei gongzi. It seems as if it intentionally blocked that waterway to prevent us from escaping!

Do you really think, if Jiang gongzi would’ve stayed here and helped us in fighting against this huge monster, we would have surely killed this huge slaughterer for good and escape out of this cave carrying an unconscious Wei gongzi, on time?!” Lan Xichen asked, frowning

“If it takes four to five days of flying to reach Cloud Recesses from Qishan then we won’t be getting any healer or help from outside to cure my Wei Ying before ten days! We still have a whole week left!” Lan Zhan said in a low voice, gritting his teeth in anger and frustration, as he cradled his still unconscious Wei Ying’s head in his lap, carefully and gently

“Wei Ying’s condition hasn’t improved even a bit. Neither his high fever has gone down nor his trembling body is accepting our spiritual energy. What should I do! If this continues… I’ll… I don’t want to lose him!!!” Lan Zhan yelled out, clutching his Wei Ying’s sleeves, desperately and anxiously

“Didi… please, calm down. I know how you’re feeling and I… will not let you go through the same pain that I’m going through every single day since Lan Xixi left us. You won’t lose him, Wangji. Your Xiongzhang promises you!” Lan Xichen said in a calm and determined voice as he lighted a torch and stood up from the cold hard and damp ground, where he had been sitting beside his baby brother and an unconscious Wei gongzi, away from the reach of the lake monster, and started striding towards the lake with quick firm steps

“Xiongzhang?!” Lan Zhan asked, looking at Lan Xichen’s back, worriedly

“Don’t worry, Wangji. Your Xiongzhang isn’t some weak but the best cultivator in the whole cultivation world of our generation. As long as I am here, I won’t let anything happen to you and your happiness.” Lan Xichen said calmly in a firm voice, turning his head to look back at his baby brother’s stoic face and worried and scared golden eyes, before turning his head to look at the dark still waters of the lake ahead, “Your Xiongzhang is going to kill this monster for you!”

“No!” Lan Zhan exclaimed, “Stop! You can’t, Xiongzhang! None of us have eaten anything or have taken enough sleep in the past three days! Because of continuously trying to transfer our spiritual energy to remove the poison and also to heal Wei Ying’s melted core, we aren’t prepared to fight, Xiongzhang! YOU are not prepared to fight and kill that monster alone!”
