Down & sink

^Low to the bottom^

He walks past the market, busy and joyful. How wonderful it was before. How wonderful it is now. Before, when there was no "sect leader Jiang!" Or "Jiang Cheng! Why can't you be better than Wei wuxian!?". It was just- peaceful.. and calm. He stops briefly, thinking about his mother's words. "Jiang Cheng, in this world no one would care for you so much. You should be the very best. Make your mother proud for the first and last time.." His eyes filled with tears as he trembles from the thought. 'I will make you proud mother. I will, just you wait.' The ma- boy, smiles. He was just a kid by heart, yet facing everything at the age of 16. He closes his eyes and continues to walk.

"Sect leader jiang, Sect leader jin is here to see you" for the 3rd time this week, the disciple mumbles.

Jiang Wanyin nods, and finishes on paper before going to see his nephew. He walks down the empty hall, which was once filled with excitement and laughs.

"JiuJiu!(uncle from mother's side)"

The teenager in gold robes runs and jumps on the man in purple robes. Jin ling smiles widely and was scream in Jiang Wanyin's ear when-

"Mo gong-zi and Han guang-jun is here."

I swear to god. I never have a break, Jiang Wanyin mutters. He sighs and makes a gesture to dismiss the disciple.

"I won't be meeting them.. this month.. I have to do something."

He harshly said, as he walks away to the ancestor(something something) hall/graves? (Me don't know). Jiang Wanyin sits next to his mother's grave, not bothering to spare a glance at his father's grave.

"A-Niang.. have I made you proud yet? Did I become good enough for you? Will you come back and.."

His voice trembles and he held back his tears. He did not want the ghost of his mother to see him vulnerable. It would be dishonoring.

"And.. scold me again..? I miss you, really."

"Eh!? Jiang Cheng?"

Jiang wanyin turns around to that familiar voice. His eyebrows start to furrow and and his mouth turns into a frown.

"Leave right now. I don't want to deal with you today."

"Also Han Guang-Jun. I'm afraid you aren't allowed here either."

He stands up and steps forward, while the other two step back.

"In the most respectful way, please get the fuck out of here. This isn't somewhere you should be."

"But Jiang Cheng, today is madam Yu and uncle jiang's death anniversary.. I just want to pay my respects."

"You have long left Yunmeng jiang. You aren't part of it Mo gong-zi."

Wei WuXian (aka Mo gong-zi) freezes. Lan wangji starts getting angry at jiang wanyin.

"Jiang Cheng! I'm your shi-Xiong!"

"You aren't. You left me when I needed you the most. Mo gong-zi, please leave right now. I'm afraid I'm about to lose my temper and it is not a delightful thing to see."

Every second Wei WuXian stays, the more pissed Jiang WanYin is. He breathes in and out harshly and leaves.

"Lan er ge-ge! Did you see how Jiang Cheng didn't talk to Uncle Jiang's grave? That so disrespectful!"

"Mn. Jiang WanYin is very disrespectful."

Meanwhile, Jiang WanYin heard everything. Whatever. He'll just go buy some flowers for his mom. He loves Madam Yu better anyways. As he walks through the markets, he spots a bouquet of flowers that catches his eyes. The purplish pink forget-me-nots. Those were her favorite (I made it up). Jiang WanYin walks up to the stall and purchased the bouquet and left the market. It was quite boring anyways.

Jiang WanYin walks back and peeks around to see if Wei WuXian was there, or if Lan WangJi was there. Hmm,there is no one. Good, he thought. He walks in and sits near his mother's grave again. Jiang WanYin stares at the grave and his mouth curves into a frown. He sighs, then puts the forget-me-not flowers on it and leaves.

"Sect leader Jiang! There's a huge problem!"

Jiang WanYin had the urge to walking away, but held himself together. It would be disrespectful to not listen..I guess.

"What do you need."

"Uh- uhm! Mo Gong-zi and Han guang-jun are lost! People said that they might be in a cave!"
The disciple muttered, they are probably making out at the life threatening situation..

Jiang WanYin held back a sigh.

"How does this matter with me?"

"They were last seen in YunMeng and it was said that they were trapped in the cave that's in YunMeng."

Jiang WanYin actually sighed this time. He made a hand gesture and dismissed the disciple. Great. Now he has to find that Wei WuXian and that Han fucking-jun? He shakes his head and heads out to find those stupid people.

-meanwhile-

"Lan er ge-ge.. remember that time when Jiang Cheng basically saved us? Y'know outta the cave."

"Mn."

"Come on!! Laaan zhaaaaan! At least speak a word or too! We are literally stuck in a cave, and it's so BOOORRIINNGG"

*rumbles*

Wei WuXian's eyes widened. What was that?
Lan WangJi quickly shielded Wei WuXian because Wei WuXian had a frail body. (If ykyk). Rocks started to pour down upon them.

"Lan Zhan, so you think I- triggered something..?"

"Mn."

They stud close to each other incase of some sort of accident.

-lets go back to Grape ChengCheng c:-

Jiang WanYin crosses the forest and hears a rumble. The ground started to shake and he fell (yes he fell y'all). He quickly stud up and brushed his robes. Jiang WanYin looks around to see if there's anything suspicious. He quickly spotted a cave entrance and lit a talisman. A rock comes flying at him, he didn't realize until it hit him. It left a small gash on his arm, which bothered him a little because he uses that are to hold his sword when fighting.

He continues to explore, knowingly leaving a pattern of rocks just incase he doesn't remember the route. His eyes widened as he slipped down a hole by accident and landed with a thud down. A crack can be heard from the caves echos as Jiang WanYin thinks that he had just broke a leg. (Break a leg they said 🙄). He tries to stand up but the pain was too much to handle. (Wow bro, u so weak >:c) He tries crawling carefully which surprisingly worked.

Jiang WanYin rolls his eyes on the thought of how stupid he was to crawl. He wasn't some peasant. He then proceeded to use his sword as a crutch to help him. He sees 2 figures standing besides eachother trying to dodge the rocks that were falling. Wait, is that Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi? He walked a little closer and made sure it was them. Jiang WanYin suddenly falls again and hangs onto his sword, causing another loud thud.

The 2 men turned to face Jiang WanYin and he frowns. Why are they even looking at me like that, I'm literally trying to save y'all. Stop giving me that dirty look.

Great. Now 3 of them are stuck in a cave. Nice!

"Jiang Cheng!? Are you alright!?"

That was the last thing he heard before his vision went black.
