By morning, I was feeling a bit better but everything happened only within a day ago. Lan Zhan was still being very supportive and very patient with me. He was up before me like he would always be and I felt him run his fingers through my hair. I could still hear him humming too. He was just laying there as I was slowly waking up. It was nice having a partner who loved me so unconditionally and will be there for me when I need him. I will do the same for him of course but what he is doing now, was something I desperately needed.

"I will forever love waking up to you being like this," I said quietly.

"I can wake you up like this more often if you want," he said.

"I feel like I'd be in a better mood everyday if you did," I told him, "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Wei Ying, and do not ever forget that," he told me before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"We should get up, shouldn't we?" I asked.

"Probably," he said, "but you have an excuse not to get up."

"Lan Zhan, I might be a bit shaken up over what happened, but I am not crippled or paralyzed," I argued.

"I meant you have an excuse to take it easy, we do not have to go out and do anything today if you are not feeling up for it," he told me.

"I know, but I need to do something," I said and sat up, "are we able to go speak with Baoshan about Huaisang?"

"Mnn, we can go see her," Lan Zhan agreed, "stay here and I will go prepare a bath."

"Okay," I said as I sat up and watched him disappear.

After a nice bath and a good breakfast, Lan Zhan spoke with Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen for a moment to tell them we will be visiting Baoshan. They said they will see us soon before we teleported to the Mountain. Wai Po was tending to her medical garden when we arrived.

"Wai Po," I called out.

She looked at me, "A'Ying," she said, "how are you feeling?"

"I am doing okay," I answered, "Lan Zhan has been a good support."

"That's good to hear, just remember if you need to talk, we are here," she said.

"I know," I replied, "I have something to run by you."

"Of course," she said.

"If not here, Lan Zhan and I are willing to go to Qinghe. Chifeng Zun's little brother has had some issues on wanting to cultivate a saber. I told him there are other methods if he wishes to learn something new. I said I'd be willing to help him," I explained, "his name is Nie Huaisang."

"I think I heard of that young man," she said, "he is very bright and intelligent. A little too into erotica but he's a decent man from what I know."

"He is someone who collects fans and since we taught A'Jie how to use duel fans, maybe it's something he could learn and maybe even like," I said.

"Of course," She said, "if you would rather train him at his home, then it is fine. You did well with Yanli and Wangji. And with Wangji beside you, the training will go smoothly."

"It will give us something to do while we wait for our wedding to come up," I said.

"Of course, remember if you need anything, let me know," she said, "otherwise I trust you know how to train him."

I nodded, "I do, thank you."

"Of course," she said, "you did well with Yanli and Wangji. You are doing well with teaching others new skills."

"I like it," I said, "it's nice to see someone achieve something that they have worked hard on."

"It is very rewarding indeed," she said, "to make his fans durable, you know the spell right?"

"I do, but I might make a new set for him. Maybe customize them a bit," I said.

"Of course, there are some blank fans that have yet to be used and made into weapons," Baoshan said.

"Then may I go look at them?" I asked.

"You know where they are," she said.

I nodded and went to the room of artifacts and weapons. These were all weapons and artifacts that have yet to be claimed by a cultivator. I needed to look for the right fans for Huaisang. I soon found a beautifully painted set of fans that I knew would suite Huaisang. Now it's just a matter of convincing him to cultivate them. After getting the fans, Lan Zhan and I made our way to the Unclean Realm in Qinghe. We were immediately greeted by Chifeng Zun's General, Nie Zonghui. He led us inside to meet with Chifeng Zun and Nie Huaisang.

"Young Master Wei, Lan Er Gongzi," Chifeng Zun greeted, "we are glad that you two could make it safely."

"We are happy that you are letting us help your brother out," I said and took out the fans, "they may look like ordinary fans but these are actually weapons. They are endured with spiritual energy which in turn makes them a first class weapon. They just need to be properly cultivated by Huaisang. Lan Zhan and I know this form or martial arts and are willing to help him train. Well, I can help with the training of using the fans while Lan Zhan is good with teaching meditation techniques that help enhance your spiritual abilities."

"We look forward for your training, and I will send for Huaisang," Chifeng Zun said.

I nodded and waited for the young brat. What can I say, Huaisang is a bit high in the clouds. I will make sure he cultivates these fans properly but I also want to make sure he gets the best use of them. He should know that there is more to life than just obtaining knowledge. If he can learn to fight or at least defend himself, I am sure it will still be a success in some way.
