MDZS / The Untamed - What If Wei WuXian Never Died?
episode 4
He muttered, earning confused stares from the juniors. The twins eyes widened, glancing at each other before back at the group who intruded their home. They have heard about Lan Zhan, about his bravery and successful missions, about how much Wei Ying adored and missed him.
He replied. Despite having a neutral expression, his eyes spoke for his feelings. There was a glaze of memory along with a confused aura around him. How? He watched Wei Ying die.
Lan JingYi
“Wei.. as in Wei WuXian?”
One of the juniors asked, stepping beside his senior. The rest of the juniors whispered to each other. Another junior stepped out, he had a heartwarming smile. He grabbed Lan JingYi’s arm and pulled him back, signalling him to let the two have their moment.
Lan Zhan raised his hand, signalling the juniors to leave. They all scurried out which somehow looked so co-ordinated it was confusing. Lan Zhan’s gaze then travelled to the two people behind Wei Ying who were now stepped away from each other embarrassingly. They were embarrassed on how they were fighting moments before and then clinging each other for dear life.
Wei Ying
“You two, leave for a minute. Let me talk to him alone.”
He asked, giving a reassuring smile to the two kids. They have never remembered meeting anyone other than Wei Ying with the smallest memory of their so called ‘mother’ who had abandoned them, so they just refer to her as Li Baihu.
They stepped outside, making sure to keep a distance from the strange juniors who looked at them. They stared back, Wei Yang judging them brutally with just a small glare of her eye. Wei Yue was just giving them a death glare, leaning against the wall of the cave or staring down at the ground.
Wei Ying
“What are you doing here?”
He asked, his eyes watery from meeting his close friend, and his potential crush, after 13 years. Lan Zhan was better at hiding his emotions, but he was also resisting the urge to cry.
Lan Zhan
“Looking for you.”
He answered honestly, to which Wei Ying’s eyes widened. Why? He thought he hated him after he supposedly died.
Lan Zhan
“Because I miss you.”
Lan Zhan
“Come back with me.”
He asked, but his words sounded more like a command. Wei Ying hesitated, how would the world think of the grandmaster of demonic cultivation coming back after being pronounced dead? How would they react to the twins?
But eventually.. he agreed. He packed a small back for each of the three, not having much to keep before setting towards the Gusu Lan Sect.
The twins made sure to keep distance of the people, still uncomfortable with the fact of even interacting with them. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan reunited, not bothering to mention the fact he has two grown children.
The juniors also kept distance of the twins, noticing how uncomfortable they seemed around their presence. They talked amongst themselves, Lan Sizhui and Lan JingYi taking direction so their senior could have his reuinion.
