The Untamed : Another story

The music of the heart

I turned to them. Jiang Cheng was wearing his usual purple outfit as well as Zidian. SiZhui, on the other hand, had put on a gray dress over his white one. He was not wearing his headband. Probably so as not to attract attention, since the Lan clan had disappeared.

"Wei Wuxian!" my brother said curtly.

"Jiang Cheng!" I replied in the same tone, hands behind my back.

I was happy to see them. I felt less lonely, even though I wondered how they got there! And why Jiang Cheng had brought SiZhui along!

My eyes fell on my son. I could see the relief but also the worry in his eyes! I couldn't leave him in this state of uncertainty about Lan Zhan.

I gave him a smile.

This one gave the start of a crazy embrace. SiZhui rushed to me and hugged me. I put my arms around him and hugged him.

"A-Xian, you can boast that you scared us! Did you find Han Guangjun?

I pushed SiZhui aside and nodded.

"Die, where is Father?".

"He is safe here." I put my hand on my child's cheek. The worry had not left his eyes. I hesitated.

"SiZhui, he is resting for now...".

"Uncle Xichen, did you say you saw Xue Yang? Is it true? I thought Song Lan killed him!" he said worriedly.

I understood his torment. I had felt the same during those eight days of uncertainty before I found him.

"A lot of things are different in this world. Lan Zhan and I are supposed to be dead, and as you can see, some of the people who are supposed to be dead are alive! I gave a small nod to indicate the stage where Nie MingJue, Jin GuangShan and Jin ZiXuan were standing. My gaze fell on Lan Xichen. I put my hand on my son's shoulder.

"SiZhui, have you forgotten something?

"Forgive me Die! I am failing in all my duties.

SiZhui stepped away from me and turned to the three clan leaders sitting on the platform in front of us. He put his hands together, conjured up Bai Hua Yong and bowed to them.

"Please excuse my behavior. The relief of knowing my parents were safe made me forget my duties for a moment. My name is Lan SiZhui, son of Han GuangJun and Yiling Laozu. Heir and future leader of the Lan clan. " 

He stood up and gave Lan Xichen a warm smile.

"I am glad to see you in good health in this world, Uncle Xichen.

Lan Xichen stood up and greeted SiZhui with a smile.

"Your father told me that he had a son, but I didn't know you were old enough to go into battle.

"Die always tend to think I am 4 years old!"

I looked at the other two clan leaders. MingJue had frowned when Xichen said I had told him about my son! At first sight, he had not reported this fact to his elder!

Jin GuangShan looked like he was on the verge of choking! I don't know what Jiang Cheng had told him, but it was not the whole truth!

I suddenly realized that SiZhui had probably taken his Qin with him. He would be able to speed up Lan Zhan's recovery!

"SiZhui, do you have your Qin?" my son turned to me with a question in his eyes.

"Of course Die, I never go anywhere without it!" I felt a great relief. I turned to Xichen and MingJue.
