I open my eyes from mediating when I hear a knock on the door. It opens and Jiang Wanyin peers inside, fully dressed, ready to leave for the night hunt at any moment.
"We should leave in a while." He says.
I nod and both of our gazes simultaneously fall on the bed which held a shirtless Wei Ying, who was asleep hugging a pillow.
I walk towards the bed, sit on it, and brush away the hair fallen on his face.
I call his name a few times. He stirs for a while and finally opens his eyes.
"Lan Zhan," he says softly and pulls me close placing a kiss on my lips. I pull away when he tries to kiss me again.
"Wei Ying," I warn him and glance towards the door.
His eyes fall on the visitor we had, and his face reddens.
Regardless of being a flirt, Wei Ying was not in favor of showing affection in public.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he yells.
Jiang Wanyin scoffs. "Came to see if you've gotten your lazy ass out of the bed," he says before leaving. "I'll be near the gate" he yells on his way.
***
We stay hidden, waiting for the attacker to arrive, with Jiang Wanyin and myself ready with our swords, and Wei Ying focusing on the energy flow to track the presence of him.
After waiting for a fair amount of time, Wei Ying opens his eyes. We look at him, enquiring the same question. He shakes his head. He hasn't sensed anything yet. For some reason, he looked agitated as if the uneasy thoughts he had in the past few days were accompanying him again.
"I think we should leave." Wei Ying announces at last, after waiting for long enough to be certain that the spirit will not show up.
On the way back he was lost in thought, and I let him be. I knew better than to question him.
The spirit not appearing today was not surprising, but it was strange. If its only intension was collecting spiritual power, and if it could sense spiritual energy, it definitely could sense us. Since two of the most powerful golden cores were present there today.
"It has stopped collecting energy." Wei Ying says giving a conclusion to my thoughts. "It has collected enough for whatever its plan is, and I think it stopped."
"Do you have an idea of what its next move is?" Jiang Wanyin asks.
Wei Ying shakes his head. But again, I felt the same detachment, the same as the past few days.
Why is this spirit bothering you, Wei Ying? We are powerful enough to fight it, aren't we?
Wei Wuxian
Something is wrong...
I'm not sure what, but something is. It said that it's coming, didn't it? Then why didn't it show up, when I was there with my guard down?
No... Lan Zhan was there.
Does it want me to come alone, or did I imagine the whole thing?
"What's wrong?" a voice asks behind me.
"Mind your business, Jiang Cheng." I wave him off.
"You're in my study, so this is my business."
