“Wei-gongzi a-are you sure about Xue Yang he-” Wen Ning shut his mouth after having Lan Wangji cast a cold glance towards him.

“Although in his past life he wasn’t the best, at this moment we need someone who is familiar with demonic cultivation.” Looking over the two younger ones he grabbed Jin Ling and smelled the powder that was still on him. 

“This is..”

“Is it poisonous? Will he be ok Fat- Young master Wei” Lan Sizhui couldn’t help feeling worried for the boy in his arms. Feeling confused that Lan Sizhui was going to call him something else he decided to shrug it off.

“No it’s Chrysanthemum”

“The flower commonly used for tea?” 

“Mn just shake him a little, he should wake up” With a sigh Lan Sizhui did as he was told.

“Huh?” With drowsy eyes Jin Ling stared at Lan Sizhui. “Beautiful...be mine” Wei Wuxian gasped watching the scene unfold in front of him. Jin Ling had wrapped his hand behind Lan Sizhui’s neck and connected their lips. A deep blush coated his cheeks as Jin Ling slipped and fell asleep leaning his head against the older boy's shoulder.

“Lan Zhan..I think they look cute together.” Wei Wuxian whispered not wanting to grab their attention.

“Mn” Although he didn’t really have an opinion he decided to agree with his beloved.

“But Lan Zhan..who do you think is the Shou?” His eyes were filled with mishive as he watched Lan Wangji look away with a slight frown.

 “Shameless.”

“Cough, Wen Ning can you find an animal that we can carry Jin Ling on” Although Wen NIng himself was flustered by witnessing a kiss right in front of him, he nodded and rushed away and only returned with a donkey "呃啊(è a) ” The screams of the donkey could have awoken the entire town if it wasn't for Wen Ning feeding it an apple. 

"Ah that's it we'll call you lil' apple from now on." The donkey huffed at Wei Wuxian and turned away as if feeling annoyed at the name.

Quickly they pushed Jin Ling on top of Lil’ Apple and made their way in a general direction.

‘If you’re looking for those three you will most likely find them in Yi city.’

“Yi City? I don’t think i've heard of that place.”

“Yi City is actually an abandoned city around Shudong area.”

“Why was it abandoned?” Wei Wuxian slowed his pace to walk besides Lan Sizhui.

“It has been known to be home for walking corpses and was abandoned after cultivators were unable to kill off the corpses.”

“Then off to Yi city we go!”

-Yi City-

“Uh I thought Yi city was abandoned?” The town was filled with regular people like every other town they had been at.

“It was..about 2 years ago” They looked around noticing a tall figure in white holding a slightly smaller one in black and besides those two was a young girl waving around a bag of candy happily.

“Is..Is that Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang?!” As if having heard his name Xiao Xingchen turned around noticing the confused figures standing at the entrance.

His bright soft eyes locked with Wei Wuxian and motioned for the young girl to follow him. Although Wei Wuxian was wearing his mask and looked different from when he first met him he could instantly recognize him, especially because of Lan Wangji besides him.

“Wei Wuxian, Hanguan-Jun” He greeted the two having known them before greeting the other 3 who he didn’t recognize.

“Xiao Xingchen why are you here? And with him? Also who is she? It's nice to meet you. I'm Wei Wuxian this is Hanguan-Jun, Wen Ning, Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui” Wei Wuxian couldn’t help pointing at Xue Yang who was surprisingly still sleeping in his arms like a small child before smiling at the girl besides him.

“I'm A-Qing, commonly known as little blind.” She smiled happily unaware of who she was speaking so improperly to.

This made Wei Wuxian let out a chuckle, he liked the young maiden and her interesting personality.

“I think it would be best if we talked somewhere else, young masters, please follow us to our home.”

On the way to their home A-Qing bought a few snacks to feed their guests. 

Wei Wuxian couldn’t help noticing how she moved. ‘Hm although she has white eyes like a blind person she doesn’t appear to be blind.’

Jin Ling couldn’t help glancing at Lan Sizhui who wouldn’t talk to him. Yet when their eyes met a deep blush formed on his face and he rushed to walk beside Wen Ning who smiled as they talked.

‘Hmph what’s so good about an old man, I'm better looking than him.’ Without even noticing Jin Ling was drinking vinegar in his own mind.

“Jin Ling look out!” Finally looking away from the older boy's direction he noticed the pole in front of him too late. With a loud bang he fell backwards clutching his forehead in pain.

“Ah! That hurts!” 

“Young master Jin are you ok?” Having forgotten the embarrassment Lan Sizhui hurried to his side to help him up and checking to make sure he wasn’t bleeding.

Flustered Jin Ling ignored the throbbing pain and started acting as if he was fine. “Im fine, i'm not a weak little girl.” This remark earned him a kick in the leg from A-Qing. “Say that again I dare you, young mistress.” With a sneer she walked into the house that was close by the pole and slammed the door closed.

“A-Qing I've told you not to slam the door close.”

“Sorry Chen-ge” 

Everyone walked in after Xiao Xingchen and sat down (Lil’ Apple was left tied outside) and grabbed the snacks A-Qing had set on the table.

After a minute Xiao Xingchen returned without Xue Yang in his arms.

“Now that we have privacy what would you like to talk about?”

“First we came here needing your help.” 

Long story short they explained everything that had happened leaving Xiao Xingchen confused and feeling many emotions.

“And now that our friends were taken, we need your guys' help to find this person and defeat them, especially Xue Yang. We really need his help.” 

“I'm not sure what he will say-”

“I'll do it!”
