Cale finds himself slowly going insane.
"As I have said, Xichen is not here."
How could he have not been here when this is the only place the redhead knows where he should be?
After all, Gusu Lan is the best place where an injured Lan disciple should heal.
There was an underlying anger boiling inside him, and it was directed to the one who took Lan Xichen away, Jin Guangyao.
Cale wonders what the hell is that bastard's problem with him.
"I understand. Thank you for your time, Grandmaster Qiren."
He wants to leave right away, or else he might snap.
He knows that the Elder does not have any reason to lie to him.
Lan Qiren watches the redhead walk away before sighing to himself.
"Lying is forbidden, shushu."
The elder looked at his nephew for a while, sighing once again as he put his hands behind his back.
"I did not technically lie, Wangji."
Indeed, Wei Xun should know that a Lan couldn't lie. Hence, he should know that Lan Xichen is indeed here in his home.
Jin Guangyao had given him to them yesterday, carried by a person he doesn't know yet seemingly well acquainted with Lan Xichen's sworn brother.
"I think he believed your words, shushu."
If that was the case, then Lan Qiren will carry the guilt until the end of the siege. His old heart aches for the future that will happen.
"If so, may the Gods forgive me for this."
Lan Wangji didn't speak, he only looked at the vast mountains of Gusu then to the three thousand rules.
Do not associate yourself with evil.
"I want to bring someone to Cloud Recesses." He suddenly says, making the elder looked at him with surprise before coughing.
"Is It Wei Wuxian?"
Lan Wangji really is similar to his father, and so is Lan Xichen in some ways.
"Mn."
Lan Qiren huffs to himself, hiding his smile as he patted the younger's head.
How fast time flies, for this child to grow up into a fine adult when it feels like it was only yesterday he was clinging unto his mother's robes.
"The other Elders wouldn't like it, would you still bring him here?"
It didn't take Lan Wangji long to answer.
"Mn."
Lan Qiren could only look away from the younger's resolute answer.
"Suit yourself."
Yet, a big part of him knows that he won't be able to do it.
The world is too cruel.
He hopes, that in another universe if there is one, Lan Wangji will be able to do it.
The moment Lan Wangji was left alone by his uncle, he started walking towards the way where the redhead had went.
At the least, Wei Xun himself deserves to know that his brother is in Gusu. He would make a decision where it was contrary to his uncle's.
After all, his brother won't wake up still.
