Chapter-17

5 YEARS LATER

MORNING

ASSEMBLY HALL

All the new followers, and other clan members had assembled together for that year's class to begin.

Lan Wang Ji himself had volunteered to give the first day's class. He has been giving the first class, every week since his uncle had retired. His brother, Lan Xi Chen never left him during the whole period.

Lan Wang Ji looked at his brother who nodded to answer the unspoken question. Lan Wang Ji then looked at the crowd before opening his mouth.

"For the first day of class, we are going to learn about the Gusu rules and you all are going to repeat after me, am I clear?"

After a chorus of "yes", Lan Wang Ji motioned for his brother, Lan Xi Chen to continue.

----

Lan Qi Ren had taken the liking of traveling and after retiring which was 2 years ago, has left to do some traveling and know about cultures through his own eyes as he puts it. Although he occasionally comes back, no one knows where he currently is.

No one questioned what Lan Qi Ren did although in the past one time someone dared to do that. Not that he minded. In front of everyone he might have appeared to be angry, disappointed in the two young men but how could he stay angry or disappointed or any of such feelings if it was his own nephew? His nephew he had raised along with his other nephew with his own hands, taught them everything, looked after them like his own son.

If you remove the mask, there is a man, who was, is and will always be proud of his sons. The title "nephew" was already gone, the time his brother told him to raise them as his own. Lan Qi Ren had considered them his own, and now he even has a grandchild. The angry, irritated man was happy.

**

Along with Wen Ning, Nei Huai Sang found not only his love but also reestablished his brother's Nie Clan. They are also thinking about having a child of their own. Either their own or adopt one. Over the years, Nie Huai Sang along with Wen Ning learnt a new meaning in life. A meaning which was kept far away hidden in the bottom of their minds.

If Wen Ning had nightmares about his past, Nie Huai Sang would be there sitting beside him, place sweet, small kisses; reassuring him it was all just dreams and that Nie Huai Sang was there when he would wake up; calling his sweetly and waking him up. If Nie Huai Sang had anxiety attacks remembering about how his brother was murdered, how if he could have saved his brother's life, Wen Ning would be there to calm him, say sweet nothings, promise things both of them wanted to fulfill in there lives, or just held him and tell to all he has to say, wipe his tears and place kisses till he was calmed once again.

Who could have said the mastermind behind everything loved this one person called Wen Ning with all his hearts and Wen Ning who had lost everything, would find everything in this one person, the person whom he loves with all his might, the person who vanished all his miseries, the person who is his Nei Huai Sang?

**

Lan Xi Chen and Jiang Cheng's relationship is going smoothly. They had their own burdens, their own clans to take care of, their own problems which could be solved by themselves or with time the solution will come. However, once they were together, all the problems were forgotten. The moment when even their bodies and minds were connected, the only thing mattered was they, them and themselves. No problem, no tension, no distance, no one, nothing could matter to them.

When his uncle was first gone, it was a bit tough for both of them to give time to themselves. Be with themselves as one, separate from the world. However they both knew not to complain because a situation like this is what makes a relationship more strong, right? And the moment they were together for the first time after that, they took their time, ravished each other, worshiped each other's body like their own and made the most sweet yet the most rough, trying to convey the message of how much they missed, loved the other one.

Who knew, the calm and smiley Lan Xi Chen had so many kinks in bed? Well, Jiang Cheng knows and is learning. The first time when they were intimate, Jiang Cheng was shocked as well as surprised when Lan Xi Chen confessed those kinks. Jiang Cheng was more shocked about the fact that he recovered it so quickly and happily obliged to Lan's wishes.

**

What can we say about Lan Si Zhui and Jin Ling? They were living the best life out of them all. Neither of them had the burden to act like the leader of any clan nor did they have to experience a life without adventures. They never took the "long distance relationship" any seriously. It was as if everyone had given them their blessings for their future. The once gloomy Lan Jin Ling is now a happy bird who radiates the energy of happiness.

They sometimes ask Lan Jing Lin to join them in their intimate sessions when they want to try something new, Lan Jing Lin is always happy to oblige. They even thought of asking Lan Jing Lin to permanently become their partner. They even proposed this to him but Lan Jing Lin had politely refused the offer for the time being, he said, "maybe in the future when I will learn to love you too like the way you love each other."

**

Wei Wu Xian and Lan Wang Ji now had the family they always wanted. The small baby boy who had the features of both his parents, was happily cuddling in between his parents. Wei Wu Xian looking at his boy and hubby could not help but think what would have happened if he had not come to Gusu with Jiang Cheng and his sister that day. Thinking about that, he could not help but chuckle.

Lan Wang Ji who in turn was closely watching his love, husband, could not help but think about the first fight he had with Wei Wu Xian. How much he disliked him and wanted nothing more than to punish the naughty boy. He remembered how that day, he faked that he was under Wei Wu Xian's influence and drank alcohol that night for the first time. A small smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at each other, directly into the eyes, they both remembered about the time when Wei Wu Xian fell from that cliff, the horror, the fear clearly visible in the eyes of Lan Wang Ji only if you look closely. Thinking about if Mo Xuanyu had not given his body to Wei Wu Xian then-

Before the thoughts could do anywhere deeper, Wei Wu Xian kissed Lan Wang Ji, hard and deep. As if to convey nothing could change what happened in the past even if we think about it so damn hard, to only think about the future, about them, about their family. That is what mattered.

----------

FIGHTING GROUND

"Lan Xu Yang, look at how I am holding the sword and copy it."

Wei Wu Xian was currently teaching his newly turned 5 year old son how to hold a sword. He gripped the sword with his right hand since it was his dominating hand. He then grabbed the bottom of the sword with his left hand. Seeing his mamma, Lan Xu Yang did the same.

"Good, my baby boy. Now, with your left hand, grip the sword tightly with the pinky, ring, and middle finger, the others should have a semi-tight grip. Look just like this."

Upon finishing, Wei Wu Xian gave him a demonstration and Lan Xu Yang was quick to follow that too.

"Hold your sword so that the bottom of the sword is right above your belly button and point the tip somewhere between the sternum and throat. Now my boy, do you know why it is done?"

"So that if they charge full on they will run into our sword. Right papa?"

Lan Xu Yang said cheerfully.

"Of course my boy is correct."

Wei Wu Xian said just as cheerfully to match up with the energetic boy. Wei Wu Xian would have now gone to the interesting part which was fighting but his beloved husband interrupted him.

"Enough for time."

Lan Wang Ji said sternly.

"But Lan Zhan~"

Wei Wu Xian whined. He winked at his boy and easily understood the meaning and nodded his head.

"But pa we were just going to the most interesting part."

"No but both of you. Come with me."

Lan Wang Ji said, picking Lan Xu Yang up on his hips and placed a hand around the waist of his husband.

"You are lucky that I love you, hubby."

Wei Wu Xian whispered into his hubby ear.

2 DAYS LATER

ASSEMBLY HALL

To say that everyone was surprised to see Lan Qi Ren would have been an understatement. It was a little before dinner time when Lan Qi Ren summoned them all in the assembly hall. Everyone which included Wei Wu Xian, Lan Wang Ji, Lan Xu Yang, Jiang Cheng, Lan Xi Chen, Jin Ling, Lan Si Zhui, Nie Huai Sang and Wen Ning and no one else.

Lan Qi Ren looked at all the curious, surprised, shocked, calm & collected faces and sighed. He had just returned from his adventure from the North East and was no doubt tired but he wanted to know what was going on here, so he had called them all. He himself would have been surprised to see them all if he had not known better.

Lan Qi Ren sighed again before opening his mouth. At least everyone knew how to sit properly obviously except for Wei Wu Xian but Lan Qi Ren over the years had learnt how to ignore that completely.

"Seeing your face I can easily understand neither you all did not expect me here nor calling you at this moment."

Seeing everyone trying to nod their head except for the Lans, he continued.

"Don't you all worry. If I see you are all happy by the time dinner is served, I will let you all go to your respective rooms and continue whatever the hell you were doing early."

This actually brought a smile on everyone's face. The smiles were weird, genuine, cringe but nobody cared. Soon the hall was filled with smiles at some jokes Wei Wu Xian made and Lan Xu Yang telling him that there was a bad word. Like many other nights, that night also many Gusu rules were broken. Not that anyone cared, rules are made to be broken, right?

THE END-
