Chapter Text
"Have you heard? The Yiling Patriach is now dead! And I've heard that the Gusu Lan Clan have been the one to led the other three Great Clans in the siege against him."
"Really? But why? Weren't the Yiling Patriach and the Four Great Clans allies during the Sunshot Campaign?"
"What allies? He used to be allies with them before, yes, but in the end he grew too arrogant and bold, practising that heinous unorthodox cultivation of his, never listening to the other cultivators' warnings about it. In the end he became twisted and evil to the point that the Four Great Clans decided to bring him down. And for a good reason too!"
"What? What is the reason?"
"Killing a prominent member of the Gusu Lan Clan! The Young Master Lan Wangji! I heard that the Sect Leader Lan was so frenzied with grief and anger that he had tried to hunt down Wei Wuxian himself but was stopped by his sworn brothers! And who knows what would happen to him if he insisted on going by himself. He might even experienced a fate worse than what had befallen on his younger brother."
"...that's too bad. Lan Wangji was still young and a promising cultivator too. What made Wei Wuxian kill him?"
"Who knows? It already happened. There is no changing the past. Wei Wuxian had already payed for his crime. In the end it was also the Sect Leader Lan who killed him, avenging his younger brother."
"Such a waste. And I remember how Wei Wuxian was still the promising and talented disciple of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect. To think that he would end up like this. Fate is really capricious..."
"YanLi, aren't you going to sleep now?"
"Just give me a few moments, Zixuan! There's still something I needed to do."
"...It is about...your brother? I understand. I'll take care of A-Ling for tonight."
"...thank you."
"A-Xian, wherever you are, know that I and A-Cheng will always believe in you and that we will always love you. May you find the peace and happiness in the after life that was taken from you in this world. And I wish that you will find the other half of your soul again...
" Even in the next life... I hope that one day, the two of you will meet again..."
