I hope you are all enjoying this book as much as I'm enjoying writing this hihi

The arrival of the Qinghe Nie Sect brought an air of solemnity and strength to Lotus Pier. The Nie clan was known for their fierce warriors and unwavering loyalty, and their visit signaled an important moment for the cultivation world. Among the esteemed guests was the second young master of the sect, Nie Huaisang, whose reputation preceded him.

Wei Ying's curiosity sparked as he heard tales of Nie Huaisang's artistic talents and unconventional nature. He couldn't help but wonder how the reserved and artistic young master would fit into the bold and disciplined world of the Nie Sect.

As the Qinghe Nie Sect delegation settled into their temporary residence at Lotus Pier, Wei Ying found himself drawn to Nie Huaisang's presence. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Wei Ying made his way toward the guest quarters, eager to meet the enigmatic young master.

In a secluded garden, adorned with vibrant flowers and shaded by willow trees, Wei Ying spotted Nie Huaisang sitting beneath a graceful pavilion. The young master was engrossed in a delicate painting, his brush gliding effortlessly across the canvas. It was a scene of serene beauty, capturing the essence of nature's tranquility.

Wei Ying approached with a playful grin. "Ah, Nie Huaisang! I've heard so much about your artistic prowess. May I have the honor of witnessing it firsthand?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.

Nie Huaisang looked up from his painting, a startled expression crossing his face. He hadn't expected someone to discover him in this quiet corner of the garden. However, his surprise quickly transformed into a warm smile as he recognized Wei Ying. "Wei Wuxian, isn't it?" he said, his voice gentle and melodic. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

Wei Ying nodded eagerly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Yes, that's me! And the pleasure is all mine, Nie Huaisang."

Curiosity piqued, Nie Huaisang set his brush aside and motioned for Wei Ying to join him under the pavilion. As they settled on the wooden benches, the gentle breeze rustling through the trees, a conversation began to unfold.

Wei Ying marveled at the intricate details of Nie Huaisang's paintings, each stroke conveying a deep sense of emotion. "Your artwork is truly exquisite," he remarked, admiration evident in his voice. "It captures the essence of life in such a delicate and captivating manner."

Nie Huaisang's cheeks tinged with a soft blush, his modesty shining through. "Thank you, Wei Wuxian. Painting has always been my solace, my way of expressing what words cannot."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, their shared love for art bridging the gap between their differing personalities. Wei Ying's lively spirit and genuine curiosity drew Nie Huaisang out of his shell, while Nie Huaisang's gentle nature provided a sense of calm for Wei Ying's boundless energy.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over the garden, Wei Ying and Nie Huaisang found themselves engrossed in stories and laughter. They discovered shared interests, exchanged tales of their respective sects, and explored the possibilities of new adventures together.

In that serene moment, Wei Ying realized that the cultivation world held not only danger and conflict but also the potential for unexpected friendships. He marveled at the way Nie Huaisang's artistic soul complemented his own vibrant spirit, their connection a testament to the power of understanding and acceptance.

Little did Wei Ying know that this meeting would mark the beginning of a deep bond, one that would transcend the boundaries of their respective sects.

In the heart of Lotus Pier, under the watchful gaze of the moon, three young souls stood side by side, their hearts filled with determination and a bond forged in the fires of friendship. Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng, and Nie Huaisang had decided to become sworn brothers, vowing to support and protect each other through the trials that lay ahead.
