"Hey, Lan XiChen! Zewu-Jun!" Jiang Cheng who was get dragged by the collar.

Lan XiChen went inside the room and throw Jiang Cheng on the bed, "OW!" Jiang Cheng who got thrown on the bed by Lan Xichen.

Jiang Cheng turned his head and stared at Lan Xichen, the two stared at each other, Jiang Cheng pouted as he laid his head on his hand standing supporting it head, "Since when has the Lan Sect been so lenient towards something as shameless as peeking at one of its most distinguished cultivators bathe? How could they tolerate this?!" Jiang who was disappointed that his planned didn't work..

Lan XiChen turned as he start to strip, jiang Cheng on his thoughts, "what if I strike while the iron is hot and disgust him some more..." Jiang Cheng who planned another plan that could make Lan XiChen disgust of him and kick him out the cloud recesses.

"The brand mark, I also had one before I became the Yiling Patriarch..." Jiang Cheng stared at the mark more the curiousness on his face shows.

"No matter the position or the shape, this one is exactly the same as the one I used to have... But why?" Jiang Cheng, has questions that he wanted to ask Lan XiChen, he looks up and stare at Lan XiChen's face.

"Lan XiChen made his name at a young age and people have been speaking very highly of him. Just what an unforgivable mistake did he make for him to be punished so harshly?" Jiang Cheng wanted to ask and know the meaning of his mark, why did he have it? What happened, when he was gone.. what mistake did he do to be punished like this, was written all over Jiang Cheng's face.

"The lights inside Lan XiChen's inner bedchamber are still on." Jiang Cheng on his thoughts again and thinks of something.

After couple of minutes he gets up and walks towards to the door where Lan Xichen was sleeping.
