"They say that the Cloud Recesses is as beautiful as Paradise. Let's stroll around ChengCheng. "
Wei Wuxian said as he and Jiang Cheng made their way through Cloud Recesses. 'I want to see if this place is as beautiful as the heavenly court'. Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at the very excited Wei Wuxian but still continued to walk behind him with quick steps so that he was not actually running. They both heard someone running towards them, so they turned around in surprise.
"Jiang-Xiong"
Nie Huisang greeted Jiang Cheng, waving his fan in the air. Jiang Cheng gave a small bow to Nie Huisang. Nie Huisang opened his fan covering his face and asked Jiang Cheng.
"Jiang-Xiong. This is?"
Before Jiang Cheng can open his mouth, Wei Wuxian draped himself over Nie Huisang shoulder. 'Reminds me of Lao Feng's fan. Aww I miss him.
When can I see Lao Feng next?'
Wei WuXian stroked the beautiful fan in Nie Huisang's hands curiously, as he said.
"I am Wei Ying. Wei Wuxian.
You must be Nie Huisang. Second Young Master of Qinghe Nie Sect.
Am I right. Nie-Xiong?"
"You are very right Wei-Xiong."
Nie Huisang smiled at Wei WuXian. Wei WuXian chuckled at his new friend and asked.
"Do you know what the Sir is called? "
"He is called Lan Qiren.
He is Gusu Lan sect's prestigious and venerable elder. I heard that his teaching can turn even the most delinquent disciples into decent people. "
"Then right now aren't I decent enough?"
Wei Wuxian asked as he playfully poked Jiang Cheng with Suibian. Nie Huisang laughed as he watched Jiang Cheng take a step back the rolll his eyes at Wei Wuxian. Jiang Cheng poked Wei Wuxian with Sandu as a revenge as he said.
" Hmph. You'll definitely become a mark of shame on his entire teaching career. "
Wei Wuxian laughed loudly as he shoved Jiang Cheng away. The three of them walked towards thier classroom laughing and talking about Yunmeng.
"Wei-xiong. Remember there is one person that you must not provoke no matter what. "
"Who? Sir Lan Qiren"
As they were talking Wei Wuxian felt a piercing gaze on the back of his head, so he turned around to be met with those light coloured eyes. He remembered that cold gaze from the previous night. He skipped forward a few steps and called out.
"Hey pretty boy, we meet again. You didn't tell me your name yesterday."
Jiang Cheng and Nie Huisang quickly came and stood by Wei WuXian. Nie Huisang scurried over to Wei Wuxian and as casually as possible whispered into his ears.
"This is that person. Lan Zhan. Lan Wangji. Lan Qiren's proudest pupil. "
Wei Wuxian nodded his head in response to Nie Huisang and again skipped a few steps forward towards Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji was frozen in his place again hearing those words. 'Who are you calling pretty boy? You are the pretty boy here. So annoying. Ridiculous.' Wei Wuxian waved his hands at the frozen Lan Wangji and called cheerfully.
"Ji-Xiong~
Ji-Xiong. ~
Wangji-Xiong~?
It's me. It's me. "
"Hmph"
Lan Wangji turned around and left in a hurry to the opposite direction. Wei Wuxian stood there watching him leave with a huge smile. He chuckled and turned to his friends.
"He ignored me"
"Wei-Xiong, you already know him? "
"I met him yesterday night. He found me when I flipped over the wall carrying wine. I even fought him. "
Wei WuXian said pointing at the wall they had fought the previous night. Jiang Cheng sighed while Nie Huisang stared at Wei WuXian in amazement.
"I really admire you Wei-xiong. You not only broke the curfew you also offended Lan Wanji. "
"Huisang don't mind his nonsense. Let's get to class. "
All the students sat in thier respective seats. Wei Wuxian was sitting right behind Jiang Cheng and to his right was Nie Huisang. Wei Wuxian looked around smiling and waving at other disciplines. He caught Lan Wangji looking at him so he waved at him too.
"Since today is the first class for some of the disciples, please take out the scroll from that side. We will start with the Gusu Lan Sect house rules. "
All the disciples except the Lans groaned lightly at Lan Qirens words. Wei Wuxian yawned as Master Lan continues with all the Sect Rules.
"How do they have so many official rules. Do we seriously came all this way just to hear this"
Wei Wuxian whined out loud flopping his head onto his desk. Lan Qiren noticed Wei Wuxian was distracted and was trying to talk to Jiang Cheng. He pointed his fingers at Wei Wuxian.
"You boy"
"Yes"
Wei Wuxian stood up raising his right hand.in the air. Lan Qiren's gaze lingered on Wei WuXian's black and red robes searching to find something about the boy. 'Strange. He looks somewhat familiar' Lan Qiren took a step forward stroking his beard.
"Which sect are you from? "
"Master Lan. I do not belong to any sect."
All the disciples turned to look at Wei Wuxian, who smiled and waved at each of them. Lan Qiren's eyebrows furrow and he asked.
"You are a rogue cultivator? "
Wei Wuxian giggled at the statement making everyone confused. The other disciples looked at Wei WuXian trying to figure out who he was.
'Why is he happy being called a rogue?' Wei Wuxian bowed to Master Lan and said.
"One could say that. Sect Leader Jiang made me a guest disciple of Yunmeng Jiang Sect so I can attend the classes here. "
Lan Qiren suddenly gripped his beard protectively as realisation dawns upon him. 'How this be him? Wasn't he declared dead along with his parents.' Lan Qiren looked at Wei Wuxian's face once again and indeed found some similarities.
"You are Wei Changze and Changse Saren's son? "
"Yes Master Lan.
I am Wei Ying. Wei Wuxian. "
Wei Wuxian bowed once again with his hands clasped in front of him. Lan Qiren huffed and turned to the side and not looking at Wei Wuxian's face. Lan Qiren started asking questions and Wei Wuxian answered each one happily. Lan Qiren got even more angry as Wei Wuxian answered each question correctly and with ease. The disciples all look at Wei Wuxian in awe.
"It's common that you have known these all by heart. Answering correctly is nothing to be proud of. "
Lan Qiren stroked his beard. He turned to look at Wei Wuxian in the eye and said.
"Lat me ask you another question."
Lan Qiren continued to ask and Wei Wuxian did not answer, the other disciples panicked and started discussion among them. Lan Qiren asked Lan Wangji to answer the question and he answered it. Lan Qiren turned to Wei Wuxian and started scolding.
"If one becomes complacent and proud just from defeating a few simple mountain monsters in one's home and obtaining an undeserved reputation... They will definitely bring disgrace upon themselves sooner or later. "
'This old man talks as if he knows me? Ha. He even called on his best pupil to hit me. ' Wei Wuxian smiled at the almost concerned gaze he got from Jiang Cheng. He felt proud of himself for remembering all these answer, which he had read last minute before coming to Gusu. Wei Wuxian raised his hand.
"I have a question. "
Lan Qiren who was taking out his scroll to continue the teaching paused. He turned to look at Wei Wuxian and said.
"Speak"
Wei Wuxian asked his question and before Lan Qiren could answer Lan Wangji stood up and answered again repeating the same words. Wei Wuxian smiled turning to look at Lan Wangji and said.
"It wasn't that I didn't know the answer. I was only thinking of a fourth path."
"I have never heard of a fourth path. "
Lan Qiren spat his words out clearly too annoyed to even keep his composure. After Wei Wuxian was done explaining his point, the entire class was at loss to what to say. Lan Qiren threw a scroll at Wei Wuxian and he dodged it laughing.
"Nonsense"
"Spiritual energy is energy. Resentful energy is also energy. "
'I live half my life in heavenly court and the other half in ghost realm. Of course I know about both energies. '
Wei Wuxian tried to argue again stating his points earning more loud gasps from other disciples and a fierce glare from Lan Wangji. Lan Qiren scolded Wei Wuxian even more and threw another scroll at his direction.
"You-...!
If you thought of it. The cultivation world would not allow you existence. Get out!!! "
"Okay okay. I am getting out now. getting out now. Hahaha "
Wei Wuxian replied happily as he made his way out of the classroom with his Suibian in one hand. All the disciples laughed as Wei Wuxian made his way out of the Hall. Jiang Cheng face palmed ' why am I even surprised' while Nie Huisang laughed lightly while covering his face with his fan. Lan Qiren was too shocked to even comprehend what had happened..
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Lan XiChen poured tea into Lan Wangji's cup. Lan Wangji nodded his thanks to his brother and took a sip of the tea. Both of them sat under the mongolia tree enjoying their afternoon tea. Lan Xichen placed his cup on the table and sighed.
"Wangji, you are becoming more and more prudent. I sometimes wonder whether I have been too strict with you. "
Lan Wangji also placed his cup back on the table, he looked at his brother who was patiently waiting for his reply.
"Xiongzhang has taken a lot of duties. Wangji is just helping spare the burden. "
Lan Xichen smiled at his brother and poured more tea into their cups. He said happily.
"It's really good for you to be with me during lectures. Many disciples from different clans are at the same age as you. It's time for you to make some friends."
Lan Wangji lowered his gaze into the tea cup he was holding. He pursed his lips and kept silence. Lan Xichen waited for Lan Wangji's reply, but when nothing came he continued with a smile.
"I actually feel good about that Wei gongzi. "
Lan Wangji snapped his eyes up from his cup and stared at his brother with wide eyes. Seeing his brother show emotions at even the mention of the name, Lan Xichen was surprised. He chuckles and continued his words still smiling brightly at his brother.
"Though he sometimes does some excessive things, he is smart and has a lively and cheerful character."
Lan Wangji stared into the distance over his brother's shoulder refusing to meet his knowing eyes. 'That.... that is true. I have nothing to say to that. ' Lan Wangji tightened his grip on the tea cup.
Seeing his brother's state of distress, Lan Xichen could not hold back his laughter. Lan Wangji shot Lan Xichen a very cold look. Lan Xichen just smiled innocently and asked.
"Wangji doesn't he have some real skills? "
Lan Wangji looked at his brother's smiling face with disbelief. He pursed his lips and gave a small glare at his brother hoping his brother would drop this topic. Lan Xichen took another sip of his tea and asked amusingly.
"You two tied against each other? "
Lan Wangji stood up from his seat, bowed to his brother and walked away. Lan Xichen laughed as his brother walked away clutching his Bichen tightly. 'Oh Wangji... Hehe'
