I have been at Baoshan's for three years, and two of those years had gone by without Wei Ying. He was still in a coma. I was wondering if he would ever wake. I was doing so well with my training and I wished it was Wei Ying that was teaching me. I had just achieved immortality and I am going to spend another whole year, just learning about the new world and  learn about all the new abilities that I can do. As I was doing so well, I was asked by Baoshan if I wanted to visit home at all. I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk with Shufu and Xiongzhang about my experience so far and let them see how far I have come...but I was hesitant. I did not write back to Xiongzhang after I told him Wei Ying got hurt. He and Shufu do not know that Wei Ying is not available right now. I was hesitant to even tell them what was going on with him.

Baoshan suggested that I say that I am visiting while A'Ying is in seclusion for a few days. He normally went into seclusion every few months before he went unconscious so it was a good...lie I guess. I do not like the idea of lying but I do not know what Shufu and Xiongzhang will say. I do not know if they will berate him for what he did. If I really want to, I can tell them, but I was not sure. I did decide to go visit though. I dressed in my Gusu robes that I have not worn in three years. My forehead ribbon was the only thing that I actually kept on, otherwise, it was a bit strange to be back in these robes. After I dressed, I told Baoshan I'd be back in a few days. She was okay with me being gone for a few days as I needed the time off.

When I arrived to Cloud Recesses, it was all still the same. The calm tranquility of the air filled my lungs as I stepped inside the main gate. It was nice to be back. This was also a surprise as no one knew I'd stop by to visit. When I arrived to the Yashi, Shufu and Xiongzhang were having tea and just casually talking about sect business. I smiled as I missed some of their casual tea sessions.

"It feel as if I left with you two in that same spot," I said entering.

"Wangji," Xiongzhang greeted with a smile and came over to me. He even pulled me into a hug, "it's been so long."

"Welcome home, Wangji," Shufu said as he hugged me as well.

"Is it just you?" Xiongzhang asked, "why isn't Wuxian with you?"

Looking at them, I couldn't lie to them so I decided to tell them everything, "if I tell you where he is, all I ask is that you listen to me and maybe even consider his reasonings. I just do not want anyone to talk bad about him right now. He does not need that."

"What happened?" Xiongzhang asked.

I placed a privacy barrier over the room and sat down with them, "Wei Ying has been in a coma for the past two years," I told them.

"Why?" They asked.

"During one of my training sessions, I was working on my balance and endurance. I was walking around on ice pillars blindfolded and I had not spiritual energy so I was just basically starting my cultivation over. One of the pillars broke and Wei Ying came over and caught me before I fell and could get hurt by the ice. I know my questioning had hurt him a little as I asked him why he saved me that time and not any of the other reasons I fell. He said that with the pillar broken, he didn't want me to be injured from it.

He and I had a little misunderstanding. He went into seclusion for a couple days to calm himself down but, he was filled with anger and depression and resentment soaked through him. He was upset and he cut the tie between us again. In doing so, the tribulation he went through severed his spiritual vein and caused his core to burst...Baoshan found a way to fix his spiritual vein and gave him a new core but he hasn't woken since," I explained, "I have some ideas as to why he broke it, and a possibility is that he wanted his suffering to end and he didn't want to have me follow him to his death. Maybe he wanted to keep me from feeling his pain, I am not sure. I have been training under Baoshan as we have been waiting for him to wake. Baoshan has been giving him mood stabilizers while he is under as it might help him when he wakes."

"It seems that he is still haunted by the Jiang's," Xiongzhang pointed out.

"Baoshan and I are working on a case against them. They need to know that what they have done is wrong...I was wondering if you two would be willing to help us?" I asked.

"Of course we will," Shufu said, "and he has yet to wake still?"

I nodded, "I visit him often...Baoshan said it's on him to wake on his own. We suspect that he has no desire to right now."

"With the tie gone again, how are you holding up?" Xiongzhang asked.

"I am trying," I answered, "I just feel empty. It's like I am missing a piece of myself."

"I know he is hurting but has he ever considered your feelings or thoughts about all this?" Shufu asked.

"I am sure he has, but I know he has reasons for the way he acted out," I said, "I cannot be mad at him or fault him. He grew up not being able to trust anyone. He even grew up having little regard for his own life. He lacked love and affection and even familial love and care as he grew up and all he received was abuse and mistreatment. When he finally started to live under Baoshan's care, was when he finally knew what love and care was. It's so new to him, and he always feels like he is a burden to everyone around him.

He has tried to push me away so many times just because he felt that he was not good enough for me. I love him more than anything and if I have not proven that enough, then that is on me. I will love him no matter what and I will do what I can to understand his reasonings. He will come to understand me when his mind is balanced out. I am now immortal and I have been given my purpose. My purpose is to help him.

Baoshan told me that I am a rare find, and not many like me exist. She said I am someone who is cultivating all Yang Energy and it is my responsibility to learn to balance out Wei Ying. I am to be his anchor but to do that I need more training. I will do what I can to help him. I just hope he wakes soon."

"Wangji, we will support you no matter what you decide," Shufu said, "We can understand that Wuxian is just in pain. He needs more guidance then he ever realized. Not just from you but from all of us. Since the Jiang's could not be his support, as his new family, we need to show him that we care."

"We will," Xiongzhang said, "we are here for you both, Wangji."

"Thank you for listening," I said, "I am visiting for a few days as I do need to be back soon. I still have more training to go through."

"We had an idea," Xiongzhang said, "it's good to see that you are doing well with your training though."

"When Wei Ying said it was intense, he was not joking," I told them.

"Are you able to share anything about what training you went through?" Shufu asked.

"I can a little," I said and talked to them about my time at the mountain so far. I was just glad that they were able to understand Wei Ying and not judge him for his actions right now. He does not need that.
