Nothing matters to me other than you. Holding your hand whilst you play the flute, even though it's out of the tune, I know it's you.

Not being bothered about Wen Ning standing in front of us or rather escaping unscathed, I can see the terror in your eyes. You think I'll follow him, but Wei Ying, nothing matters cause I know it's you.

I am about to take a step closer when suddenly I hear someone yell "A Ling" and I turn to watch a frantic Jiang Cheng running towards Jin Ling.

A moment next to me makes me turn to see a strange painful expression in Wei Ying's face. He's hurting. He remembers his past. He is cowering, afraid to face the wrath of the man who betrayed him in the end.

My blood stills when A Ling complains of Wen Ning being here.

No. No. No.

I immediately see Jiang Cheng's fury directed towards the man beside me. He now knows! The only one who can summon Wen Ning is Wei Ying.

In seconds the Zidian flashes and is directed towards my Wei Ying. The fury in me has no bounds and I immediately summon my Wangji. Shielding Wei, I stand in front of him and the two powerful spiritual weapons clash.

Jiang Cheng is pushed back due to its force and in a moment of distraction, Wei Ying escapes from my protection only for Jiang Cheng to quickly act and hit Wei Ying on his back. The power forces him to fall and he cries out.

The time stills and everyone around are shocked.

The Zidian has the power to separate souls if the body has been possessed. In case of the man in front of me, he still is the same and no soul has been ripped away from the body.

"Who are you?" Jiang Cheng yells and in anger yet again raises his Zidian to strike my Wei Ying and that is when I know, I have had enough. He has his proof and this strike is just to torture the man in front of us.

Never again, never again will I allow anyone to harm my Wei Ying. Just as the Zidian strikes mid air, it clashes with Wangji and the wrath of Wangji thunders across the sky, illuminating it in bright yet dangerous aura.

I no longer care that the fight is between two great sects. One a leader the other was Hanguang-Jun. Nothing mattered. All that mattered was to protect the one man who meant everything to me.

No one can ever hurt him. Again.

Jiang Cheng calls back the Zidian and I stand still, ready to strike again when Sizhui yells "Senior Mo" and I turn behind to see Wei Ying's nose bleeding and he is about to fall, when I catch him in my arms and gently place his head on my lap as I kneel.

"Hanguang-Jun" Jingyi runs to crouch by my side and ask"Is he alright?"

I check for his pulse. They're weak but he'll be alright. I nod.

"I am taking him with me" I say with finality and ask them to follow us.

Without even sparing a glace towards the Yunmeng Sect and their leader, I carry Wei Ying in my arms and we fly on our swords back to Gusu.

Placing him gently on my bed, I look at the man who is finally back home. Leaving him to rest, I cover him with a warm blanket and close the door to my chamber. Not wanting to leave him alone but yet there are two more souls who should be aware of his existence, I walk to my spot, by the sacred pool and summon my Wangji. Playing the Inquiry, the spirit bows and smiles.

"So he is back" she comments and I smile. So it is him. I knew it.

"Hanguang-Jun, your prayers have finally been heard" her voice is kind and I nod. A strange feeling blooms within me and I bow. She has been kind to me.

"Be happy" she whispers.

"Thank you" I profess my gratitude and she disappears.

"Wangji" brother smiles as he gestures me to sit in front of him "I heard you brought someone with you?"

I nod.

"Who is it?" He enquires as he pours me a cup of tea.

"It's him" I state and his hand pauses the action mid air and he seeks my eyes. Placing the jar gently on the table he questions "Are you sure?"

I nod "I am positive"

"How?"

"My heart can never lie to me" I state with conviction and his eyes emits the love he has for me.

"Then I believe you" he places the cup in front of me "You must inform uncle".

"I will, but only once he recovers" I take a sip and welcome the warmth of it.

As I leave, I turn back to address brother "Please don't reveal a thing about him to anyone" I plead and he smiles.

"Nothing in this world is more important to me than you, Wangji. Your happiness is my happiness. I have seen you love and suffer and if him coming back is what will bring you back to me" he laughs lightly "then I will root for you two" he winks and I bow.

Watching him sleep peacefully, on my bed, in my house, inside Jingshi, my heart pains and at the same time hope blooms from within.

Caressing his face, I bring my face closer to his and unable to control the urge, I kiss his forehead. His eyes flutters and they open slightly. His lips purse and my rugged instincts take over.

Softly and gently, I kiss him. Chaste. Pure. Love. Ignoring the tears that trickle down from my eyes, I smile.

He sighs and closes his eyes and falls into deep slumber and I place my forehead on his chest. I hear his melodious heartbeat. Yes it's him.

It's you.

It's always you.

Q: Am I going to change Wei Ying's face like the anime or keep it same like the drama?

Ans: Neither. You ask why? Cause for Lan Zhan, it does not matter how Wei Ying looks. He never loved Wei Ying for his face. Never once throughout the book did he ever say "Oh he is so beautiful or handsome". He truly loved Wei Ying for his soul. So here for aesthetic value I'll be using images of Fanart, Drama and Anime. For me like Lan Zhan, it does not matter how Wei looks. It's just that Wei is back and I am contented with that).
