Too Late
On the night I went to save the Wen's, he is the only person who can stop me. I know I have this feeling that is different from how I feel about others, but will he reciprocate these feelings? He called out to me, "Wei Ying" I stopped my horse, and turned around to face him, it was raining heavily that night, Wen Qing, Wen Ning, Uncle Fourth, Grandma Wen, Wen Yuan and together with others have gone, I stay behind to talk out with him... Probably for the last time.
I spoke up, "Lan Zhan, why are you here?"
His grip on his umbrella tightened, it didn't escape my eyes, "Wei Ying, come back. okay?"
Amidst the rain the tears that escaped my eyes couldn't be noticed by him, "Lan Zhan, I know you care about me." I tried hard to say it properly, "But it might not be the care I want. I know you are the Hangguang-Jun everyone looked up to and sees you as their role model, but I? I don't deserve to stay by your side as Wei Wuxian and Yilling Laozu whose hand are bloody by killing innocents. I may be from Yunmeng, but disowning me would be as easy as stomping an ant." I halted and continued, "I know, I don't deserve you, so please let me go." I broke down crying. He may have noticed it completely by now.
I heard his voice calling out my name, "Wei Ying..."
I took a deep breath I gave him a smile as I had also expected to be rejected completely by him. After all who'd dare side with the madman Yilling Laozu, the public enemy, even little children knows that he is a bad guy and has to be punished... I told him,"Hangguang-Jun, If I am doomed to death one day, I wish to die by your sword. That'll make my pathetic life worth it"
Tears uncontrollably fell and wetted my cheeks more that it already was, I turned my horse and went to Burial Mounds to catch up with the others.
Lan Zhan was looking at the way Wei Ying went to, he saw him getting smaller, getting far and far. His heart aches, I didn't have the strength to keep the umbrella up. It slowly slips away from my hands as I got soaked in the rain together with my tears.
~Burial Mounds~
The four main and greatest sects, Lan Sect of Gusu, Nie Sect of Qinghe, Jin of Lanling and Jiang of Yunmeng.
A bloody battle was started, Lan Zhan was present in the name of assisting his own brother. Everyone that died, Wei Wuxian has successfully turned them to fierce corpses. Lan Zhan fought his way to get to his Wei Ying. "Wei Ying, Stop!"
I heard it, but as soon as I stopped for a moment, I suffered great casualties, almost a hundred of my fierce corpses vanished in thin air, just because of one person. I once again played my chenqing, and this time the tune was more deadly than the last.
I heard someone shout, "Yilling Laozu, hand over your Yin Hufu!"
I laughed sarcastically at his words, "Are you really executing justice by killing me or you just want my Yin Hufu?"
Jin Guangshan the leader of Lanling Sect spoke up, "Wei Wuxian that evil tool kf yours has killed tons of our disciples, it's only right that you hand it over. It even brought death to your own Senior Sister, now even your Junior Brother is fighting to kill you" He was trying to infuriate me, but the next second Nie Mingjue's voice rang on the battlefield.
"What's with the chitchat?! You think these corpses aren't good enough for you to get tired? Stop wasting strength and fight!" Everyone fought against my thousands of corpses.
Without saying a word I took out my Yin Hufu, I broke it into pieces and left them on the battlefield. Now everyone is fighting to get it, causing disciples to turn against each other and kill their own kind, "You say I'm evil! But open your eyes and take a look at your disciples killing each other for a useless scrap of metal" I laugh at them as I flew to the cliff.
I looked at the battlefield, I saw corpses, blood, these things were what I hated the most. I looked at my hands as tears drops on them l
one by one.
I closed my eyes losing control of my own body, I feel like falling to the cliff, 'This should be my end' that was what I thought.
But the next moment, I felt warmth in my own hands, I also smell a familiar smell. I look up to see that forehead ribbon I wanted to touch the most. I smiled at him, it wasn't forced nor fake. But it is the only smile I could give him
"Lan Zhan, let me go. You needn't do this, doing this would only hurt me more, besides haven't you rejected me already? Let me go"
His hand was bleeding but he didn't let go of the wrist he was holding.
I heard him get angry, "I never said anything. It's your own imagination, now stop the nonsense and get back up here!"
Jiang Cheng came and swung his sword, it wounded my wrist but more importantly it hit the rock. The weight of 3 people weren't enough to bear it.
I forcefully let go of Lan Zhan's hand, I can't believe that I died by my own sword and my own cultivation... I gave Lan Zhan a bright but sad smile and fell on the cliff.
The next day news spread everywhere as fast as light, Wei Wuxian Yilling Laozu has passed away being killed by Jiang Wanyin with his own sword. Right now cultivators had a party for days and nights celebrating their victory.
Wangji wasn't in the mood for anything, these days he locks himself in his own room and stare at his hands that held his. He regrets not holding onto him tightly...
I went out to breath in fresh air, I was in the woods in Phoenix Mountain when I saw a tree, that was where I kissed him... I touch my own lips feeling those rosy ones in them.
I felt someone tap my back I looked back, It was brother.
"Wipe away your tears first" My brother said.
I faced him and said, "Brother, did you know? The other day when he went to save the Wen's. He told me his real feelings. But I didn't tell him my feelings either. I can only... I could only watch him smile sadly in front of me as he fell off the cliff." Unable to hold it back, tears fell as my brother hugs me.
I looked up at my brother, "Brother, I'm the reason he died right?"
Zewu-Jun had seen Wangji cry before, that was when their mother died, he sighed, 'Love is too strong to fade between this two souls' He though as he told Wangji, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. I'm sure he won't blame you too.
