Before everyone left from the trial, the last thing that needed to be taken care of was Zidian. Jiang Cheng didn't want to tool and neither did A'Jie. It was then that Wai Po took the Zidian ring and placed it in the palm of her hand. She then closed her hand and passed on some energy to Zidian.

Once Baoshan opened her hand the ring was no longer the striking purple that would define just was the weapon was. It was divided into two plain silver rings. She then walked over to Lan Zhan and me and placed the rings on our right middle finger. The plain silver ring then suddenly connected with me. I saw that Lan Zhan's connected with him as well. A new design was established onto the two rings.

Lan Zhan's ring was Gusu Lan Blue and it emanated the same energized glow of Lan Zhan's aura and spiritual essence which was also a light blue, almost white. My ring looked the same but was a red color. I felt it patched perfectly with my spiritual essence and aura. I guess it's not really considered as Zidian anymore so they needed new names as I can tell they were still considered first class spiritual rings.

"Now the two of you are more connected. These rings are first class spiritual whips and you two will use them properly. As they are first class tools, they need new names," Wai Po said.

I smiled and looked at Lan Zhan, "you are a Yang Master and I can control Yin energy. Why not Yin and Yang?" I asked.

Lan Zhan smiled, "I will approve," he said, "my ring is named Yang."

"While mine is named Yin," I said, "I know Yin and Yang are more considered to be black and white but why not let them be red and blue."

Lan Zhan nodded, "I still like to call mine Yang. I can tell the ring has accepted its name."

"Mine did too," I said as I felt the ring humming in my finger. I then turned to the others, "since everything is settled, do you all mind if I go for a walk?"

"Of course," Lan Xichen said, "Wangji, why don't you go with him."

"Mnn," Lan Zhan nodded.

"Boys, Yanli, we will head back to the mountain in about a week. I think that will give us all enough time to repress after this mess of a trial," Wai Po said.

"Alright, it will also give me enough time to speak with A'Xuan," Yanli said.

"Oh, I forgot you were still engaged...how are you two doing anyway?" I asked.

"We are doing very well," Yanli said, "A'Xuan is actually very kind and is nothing like his father. It may seem like it but he is not."

"If that Sect Leader Jin ever gives you a problem, let me know," I said.

"I will," A'Jie said, "I am going to go back to my guest room and rest for a bit."

I nodded and followed her out with Lan Zhan by my side. Lan Zhan and I took a detour through Cloud Recesses on our way back to the Jingshi. He and I didn't talk much but we held hands and just took in the peaceful atmosphere of the place. I really needed it, to be honest. As we were approaching the Jingshi, I was a bit more talkative by then.

"I never actually expected to have a part of what used to be considered Zidian. I have been at the mercy of that whip so many times and I was honestly surprised when Wai Po gave us these rings," I said.

"Mnn, I was not expecting it either," Lan Zhan said, "I was also not expecting you to get so worked up over Yu Ziyuan insulting me and my brother like that."

"If anyone ever insults you in front of me again, they better hope that they are still breathing by the end of the day," I said, "you are my family, Lan Zhan. I am finally coming to terms with it and I am not going to let anyone shit all over it with their nonsense comments like that."

"Hey," Lan Zhan said having us stop walking and pulled me close to him. Our chests were pressed together and my hands rested on his shoulders. Lan Zhan's arms were wrapped around my waist, "it will be okay. I know you do not like it but try not to get too worked up. We can solve things without getting too violent."

Tears started to form in my eyes, "I do not like it. It's like I can tolerate people throwing those words at me but when it comes to you, I cannot. I will be honest with you, my fears still hold deep on to me. My fear right now, is losing you because I was too cautious about people being too comfortable with being arrogant and not thinking about the consequences of their actions," I explained.

"You will not ever have to worry, Wei Ying. You and I are now bound again and I made sure that this tie cannot be broken. Once we marry this tie will be set infinitely. You and I are immortal and we will have so many lifetimes together. You know it will never be of my choosing to leave you and at this point, we are at the point where if one dies, the other dies too. You do not have to worry about losing me. I promise you, I will do everything in my power to keep it this way," Lan Zhan told me.

I stared at him for a good moment and blinked a couple times. I then placed my hand gently on his throat and rubbed up and down, "does your throat hurt from talking so much? That was a lot of words coming out of you," I said playfully.

Lan Zhan shook his head and I could tell he was amused, "I feel fine," he said taking my hand into his, "in fact, why don't I show you how perfectly fine I am once we step inside?"

"You want to play again?" I asked, my voice still being taunting.

Lan Zhan growled and pulled me inside. He placed a privacy ward over the Jingshi and pinned me down on the bed. Let's just say, we did not have sex but Lan Zhan got a little more handsy with me this time. I am not complaining either, but I was a bit surprised that he got worked up like that. A part of me could not wait for us to marry so I could see how much of he beast he turns into when we consummate. I might be unable to walk the next day but I felt it would be worth it.
