Seeking Solace

Chapter 22

{Reread last chapter before starting this one. I changed some things near the end and added some things as well. Umbrella scene for example, the color and all that. And I want to know what you think of Jing Yu's and Xue Yang's scenes together in chapter 21 and this one 🥰}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jing Yu sat on the porch, dry and out of the rain. It had been raining off and on for the past couple of days.

He saw something small flying in the sky, down towards him and caught it with two fingers. It was a small paper crane imbued with his spiritual energy, that protected it from the weather and made it invisible to all but him, unless he allowed it. Jing Yu had multiple hidden abilities that would probably never be shown in the light of day, some passed down techniques from his parents from their past and some he created on his own.

This paper crane recorded things it saw and things it heard. Suibian had found Su She. Su She, Jin Guangshan, and Jin Guangyao, were to have their punishments dished out soon, for the cultivation world to see and they were working about electing a new Chief Cultivator. He saw Chenqing and Wei Wuxian had freed Wen Ning a few days ago and Wei Wuxian was slowly healing and adjusting and trying to bridge the gap between him and Sect Leader Jiang, and getting closer to Lan Wangji. He had many paper cranes scattered in many places, but not too many. He didn't want to intrude beyond others' privacy. It would take time for Wei Wuxian to fully heal, if he ever would but every step counted.

Jing Yu hoped and planned to meet the other soon, he would like to befriend him and felt they would get along well.

Jing Yu smiled, he had a feeling he knew what Chenqing had plans to do about their punishments. He had overheard from his little spying device, after he had left once the memory viewing had concluded, and which was also how he learned about Wei Wuxian's revival. Death would be a mercy.

Men like Jin Guangshan, born with wealth and privilege, and greedy for power, need to know what it is to be without for the rest of their days.
Su She had attempted demonic cultivation for nefarious, selfish reasons. Jin Guangyao...will also have to lose everything he had gained, that or his life. It would all transpire and be decided within a week from today.

And no one knew, but Jing Yu's parents had basically been something kind of like royalty, part of a sect many years before Yanling Daoren's "rise and fall" but he had seen Chenqing's past as well so he knew what actually happened back then. Baoshan Sanren was his great, great, great grandmother (how every many times over) and had been part of a prestigious sect before she became a fully fledged cultivator and secluded herself on a hidden mountain for centuries, never to step foot into the world again, except for a few cases, like Yanling Daoren, for example.

He had thought it hard to believe when his parents told him when he was very young but they had proof, proof and techniques passed down through generations, to them, and then on to Jing Yu himself.

Not only that, his blood had..special properties...he had noticed during his battles against the Wens, when he would bleed and his blood got on them.

Thanks to someone snatching up one of his distant past family members and experimenting on them, changing them somehow, it got passed on.

He found a letter one day that seemed to appear out of thin air, in very elegant handwriting about his family's past and history. And he hadn't known who had written it or given it to him, but deep down he always had a hunch.
