-------------------------

the empathy continues -

wen ning carried the hyperventilating wei ying on his back followed by li xing . wei ying was treated by the stiff hands of wen ning who worked diligently like his sister . wei ying fell unconscious since then even after full treatment 

wen ning froze 

wen qing cried .

yiling laozu and 9 other people in the past were in disbelief . were they lied that the ghost general is killed by the jin sect ?

after 3 days , lan wangji was buried safely next to his brother's grave . the lan trio [xiuying , sizhui and jingyi ] were crying . li xiang , jin ling along with jiang wanyin and nie huaisang joined the funeral of lan wangji , the two looked really old . both jiang wanyin and nie huaisang had white hairs with a little wrinkles over their faces . nie huaisang stood straight on his own while jiang cheng was supported by li xiang and jin ling on both sides . 

jin ling silently looked at his uncle . he did not know how to say things , he felt rather ......bad in the bad way . 

sect leader nie huaisang and sect leader jiang cheng looked at each other before looking at the screen  . they were conflicted over what to feel . 

lan xichen was a little relieved for his brother being buried next to him . 

the lan wangjis worried over their future children and wei ying . 

wei ying woke up in the 7th day and found jiang cheng holding his hand in silent support like he always did whenever madam yu shouts at wei wuxian when they were young . but when wei wuxian noticed the other was sitting sadly in a place occasionally sighing . 

yiling laozu rubbed his tears and looked at sect leader jiang wanyin who softly smiled at him . he was unsure , why would jiang cheng would hold his hands when he hates him?

meanwhile sect leader jiang was happy , that in the future they both do get along . 

"a-cheng........." 

jiang wanyin snapped from his daze and looked at wei wuxian , a sad smile forming on his face . "a-xian..... how do you feel?" he asked as he took out a talisman and burnt it on the candle next to him . 

"......i- i am not sure........" wei wuxian looked down at his hand which is held by his brother . he tried siting up when jiang cheng grabbed his hand . 

"a-xian , dont . i have called for the doctors to check up on you okay ? now rest " jiang cheng said , but he looked the most tired out of the two in the room . jiang cheng softly put his hand over wei ying's forehead and checked for fever . thankfully there were none . he smiled a bit 

hanguang jun turned to sandu sheng shou even though he hates him . "sect leader jiang , thank you for looking after wei ying " he bowed in respect 

while the said sandu sheng shou looked surprised  he bowed in return . "wei wuxian is my brother , and i do take care of him "

yiling laozu looked in disbelief . 

the past [gusu] jiang trio noticed their distance , but kept a mind note on that . 

after the doctors checked up , wei ying was left alone when he walked supporting his little brother towards lan wangji's grave . apparently jin ling , jingyi and sizhui were offering some white lilies to the grave when the two arrived . 

the three stood up and bowed to the two seniors in the open ground . "lan sizhui , lan jingyi , jin ling , lets give some time for a-xian okay?" jiang cheng sounded tired in his old age . the three nodded and jingyi and jin ling supported jiang cheng and sizhui ran to prepare tea before the three people arrives . 

"i can never digest the fact that lans can run" a jin disciple said 

every one were sad enough to notice the humor . 

after the three went away . wei ying took a step in front and knelt down in front of his husband's grave . a sad smile , while endless tears kept streaming down his cheeks to the ground . he wiped them off knowing his husband does not like whenever he was crying . he then made a move towards the tombstone of lan wangji's grave and sat next to it . bringing his arms to the front , he hugged the tombstone and leaned his head over the smooth stone and closed his eyes , letting down a tear down his cheeks once again . 

both lan wangjis , for first time broke the rule to not express emotions . the two buried their faces in wei ying's shoulders and cried . it felt like it was rather his mother surviving and mourning for his death and he was watching it . 

the other disciples did not know what to say either . everything was overwhelming for them as well . 

after another five days , jiang cheng and jin ling left gusu with a heavy heart after paying one last respect to lan wangji . now , since there was no sect leader to lead the lan sect , a meeting was held . and all the disciples , wei wuxian and his three kids and li xing attended the meeting 

"i feel like something is about to go down " a nie disciple said 

"as for the sect leader position , we all disciples request lan er furen to take over the position" the senior head disciple announced and the other disciples agreed by nodding their heads silently towards the elders who sat with an unamused face . 

"i dont like where this is going er ge" sect leader nie huaisang said towards zewu zun who stood frozen with their response . 

"WE WONT ALLOW A DEMONIC CULTIVATOR LIKE HIM TO LEAD A SECT WHICH IS PURE AS LAN CLAN " one of the elders announced their hatred towards wei wuxian who flinched a little looking at his knees . another elder looked at the left side of wei wuxian and spoke "that girl has the blood of a pure lan , her child will lead the sect - we should prepare for her marriage " lan xiuying's eyes widened . jingyi's brotherly senses kicked in and he covered his little sister in his wide sleeves and glared at that particular elder . 

at this point the lan disciples themselves were questioning the behavior of the lan elders . even if xiuying seems to be an adult , it should be her own rights or with a little talk along with their parents - would she prefer to get married . 

both lan wangjis at a side felt like this was their fault . 

"i am pretty sure that it would be xiuying's personal rights to get married , we cannot force her" sizhui's voice remained normal with a small smile , but his wrists which were visible to li xing who stood in that way saw the white knuckles and those big veins which looked like they were about to pop in seconds . 

"sizhui , i see no point in following the rules at that moment" jin ling said to sizhui who was pretty angry at the elder on screen 

"oh then it is okay , just go and have an one night stand with anyone - or someone with a pure blood lineage like me or the elders here " the elder said with a little blush looking at her body in a uncomfortable way which made xiuying hide her face on jingyi's chest with so much horror on her face , wei wuxian looked like he was about to start up an another war with the lan elders . his hands were covered with resentful energy . 

everyone felt bad for xiuying , and the girls felt this the most than the boys . zidian was cracking in the behind . 

sizhui had enough . he stood up and removed his lan forehead ribbon and the lan clan bell from his stash and gave it to jingyi who stared at him . li xing stood seeing him stand up , she was confused but sizhui gave him his sword not sparing a glance at her. 

"what is he going to do?" a feared voice came from behind . 

"aha.....HAHAHAH!!!!!!!! ", sizhui's cold voice sent shivers to everyone in the room . but before any elder could open their stinky mouths , sizhui spoke " i knew wens in the past has done endless crime , it runs through their vein - their sins . i think - it would make no difference if i do that too..........." sizhui smiled with wide eyes . 

it sent shivers to everyone , especially the 10 intruders including sizhui himself , wen qing flinched . he looked just like wen rouhan on his prime . hanguang jun looked at his son , he lost it after his death , ' it is my fault , i never taught to hold his anger ' 

sizhui brought his hands to his quaikun pouch and took out wen rouhan's sword in his hands and stood in a wen fighting position . "everyone , wait outside , i will solve this problem all at once " his voice was cold . all the disciples could only nod . jingyi carried his frozen sister and li xing held wei wuxian's hand and led him outside . she looked at wei wuxian , he was more of a doll than a human now , she wondered if wen qing were here , would this even happen ?

sizhui looked at his hands , is he going to commit the same crimes as his blood family? . it was rather horrifying . he looked at his father , hanguang jun . his father's eyes were full of guilt , as if he is regretting it . he was more of a failure than anything right?

jin ling had many complicated feelings , the one he is hugging is a former wen , the wens he despised to his core . 

in seconds came the horrifying screams no one want to hear in their life , it took only 2 minutes for the screams to die off . and sizhui opened the door and walked out , all his white fabric were soaked red . blood dripping off his dress and sword , he rather walked with a calm smile . not a speck of his dress had white in it . everything screamed one thing :the one who just walked out is a blood thirsty wen .

sizhui really wanted emotional support and clung onto jin ling's arms for his dear life while the other patted his head with an emotionless face . 

"mom, you will become the sect leader of the lan clan " with a smile , sizhui took out his bloodied quaikun pouch and took out the sect leader head piece which was not bloodied and rather looked pure , elegant just like lan clan . he combed wei wuxian's hair not minding his bloodied hands and tied the head piece onto wei wuxian's hair in the way hanguang jun wore it when it was his reign . wei wuxian was frozen still to process anything , the smell of blood brought him back to his war time where he killed so many people . he was however , was brought back to his reality when he heard many claps around him . when sizhui was done , all the disciples even his own three kids knelt down in front of him . "congrats sect leader lan" li xing said as she stood up from his kneeling position . wei wuxian looked rather horrified . 

mingjue could relate to this , he was just a kid when he was suddenly made into a sect leader after a moment of the reveal of his father's death . 

for a whole month , everyone found lan sizhui kneeling in front of his father's grave during the nights , writing the rules doing headstands for how long his ability led him do . he perfectly distanced himself from everyone during a whole month being focused to punish himself and silently ask for forgiveness from his father who can never respond anymore . 

"at least that damned wen knows to ask for his forgiveness" a jin shouted and quieted under jin zixuan's [ post war] glare . sizhui flinched .
