Destiny

Chapter - 37

Lan Xichen was staring at his little brother who was shouldering evrything alone. He had just these words repeating in his mind.

' Why did mother choose Wangji when he was younger than him ? Why didn't give him the burnden ? '

So he asked ," How ? "

" Who was mother ? "

Lan Wangji again become silent.

" Wangji ? " Lan Xichen said, softly.

The jade's eyes  met with his brother and for a moment he felt his heart pulling out little by little. He knew his brother deserved to know but would it be right ? He knew if he would say a single no his brother would support him even though he would be hurt. But did he deserved that ? There was no turning back.

" Xiongzhang, do you know why those black things turned to you leaving everyone behind  ? " Wangji said.

Now everyone thought about it. It was really suspicious. But seemed like Lan Xichen got the answer when he saw a scratched mark on the back of his hand. He glanced at Lan Wangji.

" My blood.." Lan Xichen said.

" Mn "

" How this is related to what I ask ? "

" Mother was  ...." Lan Wangji stopped like he wasn't sure whether to tell or not. He was still hesitant.

Everyone was staring at Lan Wangji with anticipation.  What identity did the Lan Furen hold to make Lan Wangji like that ?

" Why are you hesitating ? " Lan Xichen said.

" She was member of dragon clan ." Lan Wangji said , finally. He could not go back and now it had become more impossible.

Shocked, surprised, stunned, bewilderment was small words to express what they felt. It seemed like they were striked by thunder.

" She had sacrificed her dragon self to be with father so no one sensed her core because she really hadn't one. Father knew about it ."

" So you too.." Lan Qiren said coming out of the shock.

" I'm"

" So those things react to my blood and more strongly to your because of mother blood in our veins." Lan Xichen said holding his forehead.

" Mn"

" You spent your childhood five years in mother's clan." Lan Xichen said like a statement.

" Mn "

" Then why come back ? ! " Lan Xichen bursted out.

Everyone looked at Lan Xichen like he had gone crazy with so much information except Lan Wangji who had a little softness in his eyes.

Lan Wangji didn't spoke. He had given the answers which his brother was seeking since his return. He had cleared the doubts of elders on him and on his mother. There was nothing left for him to say.

Lan Xichen sighed to see his calm but stubborn brother.

" One more thing." Lan Wangji said getting everyone's attention. He removed his forehead ribbon making Lan Xichen and Wei Wuxian's breath hitched.

Lan Wangji's eyes hardened and the the temperature of main hall dropped, making shiver ran down the people's spine. A snake like golden mark appeared on his forehead announcing his new revealed identity. He was not sitting as Lan there anymore but an individual, different and distant from everyone.

" If the history repeat itself then I won't hesitate to make it replica myself. " His voice was cold telling how serious he was. It was not a threat but warning.
