The journey of Emperor Donghua through time

Lan Wangji's sleep and rest schedule has always been very regular. He gets up and washes up at the first hour of the morning. After going out, he sees that there is no movement in Wei Wuxian's room, so he goes to the kitchen.

“Knock, knock~” Lan Wangji quickly came over with breakfast, put the plate on the stone table in the yard, and knocked on Wei Wuxian’s door. “Wei Ying, are you awake? It’s time to eat.”

There was a rustling sound in the room. After a while, Wei Wuxian, with messy hair and sleepy eyes, came to open the door, "Lan Zhan, why are you up so early? I'm still sleepy!"

"It's getting late. Go wash up. I'll wait for you to have breakfast together." Lan Wangji took him to the washroom.

Wei Wuxian let Lan Wangji drag him to wash up in a daze, mumbling from time to time. His voice was hoarse and a little nasal because he had just woken up, and sounded childish and delicate.

Seeing such a lovely Wei Wuxian for the first time, Lan Wangji's usually cold expression softened, and he carefully wiped his face with a wet towel.

Wei Wuxian was already awake when the towel was applied to his face. Seeing Lan Wangji wiping his face so gently, he felt a little dazed. Apart from his mother who had wiped his face so gently when he was a child, no one had ever treated him like this since.

“Lan Zhan, why are you so nice?!” Wei Wuxian suddenly hugged Lan Wangji and rubbed his neck.

Wei Wuxian’s soft face rubbed against his neck, and the moment their skin touched, Lan Wangji’s ears felt burning with embarrassment. He wanted to push him away but couldn’t bear to, so he could only freeze his body and let him hold him.

“Puchi~” Wei Wuxian was amused by Lan Wangji’s reaction and patted his chest gently, “Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, how can you be so innocent? I just touched your neck and you acted like this. What will you do if we do something more intimate in the future?”

"Wei Ying!" Lan Wangji felt a little embarrassed. Just by imagining that scene, his heart started beating wildly, as if it was going to jump out of his throat.

“Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll do it myself from now on.” Wei Wuxian took the towel and wiped it roughly, then simply rinsed his mouth before starting to tidy up his messy hair.

“Okay, let’s go eat.” Wei Wuxian quickly tidied himself up, took Lan Wangji’s hand and walked towards the stone table where breakfast was set.

"Lan Zhan, you are so virtuous." Seeing several breakfast dishes on the table, including local specialties of Gusu and famous snacks of Yunmeng, Wei Wuxian couldn't help but admire them.

"Don't talk nonsense." She felt quite embarrassed when being praised for her virtuousness.

“Eat.” After placing the porridge in front of Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji served himself another bowl.

There were only two people at the table, but Wei Wuxian couldn't keep quiet and would say something from time to time. Even though Lan Wangji would only respond to him occasionally, he still enjoyed it and the breakfast ended in such a lively manner.

When the two arrived under the Buddhist bell tree, Emperor Donghua was already waiting there. What was rare was that today he did not lean lazily on the jade couch as usual, but sat upright on the couch in a proper manner.

"Emperor." The two of them bowed to Emperor Donghua together.

"Well, you will perform the ceremony of becoming my apprentice today." Emperor Donghua said seriously.

"Okay." They both responded in unison.

“By the way, Your Majesty, who is the eldest brother between me and Lan Zhan?” Wei Wuxian suddenly thought that although they both had the same master, there must always be a distinction between the older and the younger.

"You guys discuss it among yourselves." Emperor Donghua didn't care.

“Lan Zhan, can I be your senior brother?” Wei Wuxian acted cute and coquettish towards Lan Wangji, “Is that okay?”

“Yes.” Lan Wangji had no intention of competing with him for the position of senior brother, so he agreed.

"Let's get started." Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Emperor Donghua spoke again.

"Disciple Wei Ying Wei Wuxian greets Master!"

"Disciple Lan Zhan Lan Wangji greets Master!"

The two of them knelt down together and kowtowed three times to Emperor Donghua. Just after they finished kowtow, a roar came from outside Bi Hai Cang Ling, as if witnessing this simple ceremony of becoming a disciple.

Emperor Donghua glanced at the sky, then slowly stood up, helped up his two new disciples, and then conjured up two magical weapons and placed them in front of the two of them.
