【Xiyao】Snow in Zhaocheng

Lan Xichen came back three months earlier than usual, and brought a strange boy by his side to raise him personally. The news spread throughout Yunshen within a day.

Although Lan Xichen has been gentle and courteous to others these years, he has never gotten close to anyone. He spends half a year wandering around outside, but as the suzerain of the Lan clan, the burden of the Gusu Lan clan still rests on him. Shirking, and that's why when Lan Xichen was in Yunshen, he always had countless heavy affairs to deal with, and he had no time to socialize with others.

This time Lan Xichen came back suddenly, and announced that he would not go out for wanderings in the future, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it had something to do with the boy he brought with him.

Although everyone in the Lan family didn't dare to discuss it due to the family rules, they were very curious about Song Yao, a new kid from the Lan family, in private.

However, no matter how curious they were, Lan Xichen still protected Song Yao well, not even showing his face.

At Chenshi, Lan Xichen was going to find Lan Wangji to talk to, so he allowed Song Yao to walk around the cold room at will, and then went to Lan Wangji's quiet room.

From a distance, the clear sound of the piano could be heard from the quiet room.

It's "Ask the Spirit".

Lan Wangji has played this piece thousands of times, and he is already proficient at it, so he doesn't need to practice any more, but this piece of "Questioning the Spirit" that he wakes up every morning has become a habit.

Lan Xichen stopped outside the door.

Listening carefully, the sound of the piano is ethereal and far away. Although it is very stable, it is not gloomy at all.

Want to forget the machine in a good mood.

Lan Xichen smiled knowingly.

After the song ended, Lan Wangji looked sideways at the door and called out, "Brother."

Lan Xichen pushed the door open and the two sat facing each other. Lan Wangji poured Lan Xichen a cup of tea.

The two of them always talked about everything, and Lan Wangji was never a polite person. After Lan Xichen sat down, he said bluntly, "What do you plan to do in the future, brother?"

Naturally, it refers to Song Yao's matter.

Lan Xichen said: "I will teach him well, and I will definitely not let him go to the same step as before."

Lan Wangji looked into his eyes and asked for a while, "Do you trust him?"

Lan Xichen pursed his lips, did not avoid Lan Wangji's gaze, and said, "I believe it."

Lan Wangji's face was frosty, and he said mercilessly, "He lied to you."

"Used you too."

These words and sentences were like a dull hammer hitting Lan Xichen's heart, which made his heart tremble slightly, and his expression changed instantly.

But in the end he calmed down, lowered his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wangji, no matter right or wrong, in the end... I owe him more."

Lan Xichen said: "He lied to me, used me, and died because of my disbelief, but until his death, he never really harmed me, nor did he really harm the Gusu Lan family."

Lan Wangji was speechless, this is the truth.

Lan Xichen raised his eyes, his eyes were as firm as a shipwreck, and he said: "No matter what, I always believe that he is not extremely evil."

"I want to try again, no matter what the result is, I will admit it."

After a moment of silence, Lan Wangji said, "Okay."

Lan Xichen looked at him in surprise, never expecting Lan Wangji to agree so simply.

Lan Wangji said, "You trust him, but I trust brother."

Lan Xichen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

This smile instantly dispelled the haze in his eyes, Lan Xichen sighed, "Wangji, you have changed a lot since you were with Mr. Wei."

Lan Wangji hummed in a low voice.

Lan Xichen smiled and said, "Speaking of Mr. Wei, where did he go today?"

Lan Wangji shook his head and said, "Perhaps I went to feed the rabbit."

Wei Wuxian didn't feed the rabbit.

At this time, he was standing beside the stone steps in the cold room, frightening Song Yao with joy.

Wei Wuxian said: "Don't look at you, Mr. Zewu, who seem gentle and gentle, but you are very cruel when you punish people."

He didn't blush at all, and said: "Have you seen the more than 4000 family rules engraved on the stone tablet outside? If you break one, you will be punished so that your life will be worse than death."

He shook his head and sighed: "It's not easy to be a child of the Gusu Lan family, it's not easy to be... Poor little boy, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, I wish you good luck and good luck."

Seeing that Song Yao was listening intently, he thought that the purpose of warning the children had been achieved, and then changed the tone, and said: "But if you are a little better... maybe life will be easier."

Song Yao listened carefully, as if she was being taught, she suddenly pointed behind Wei Wuxian and called out, "Hanguang-jun."

Wei Wuxian subconsciously turned his head to look for it, but Song Yao turned and ran away without changing his expression.

Wei Wuxian found out that he had been duped, turned around and pulled Song Yao back by the collar, with a heartbroken look on his face.

And Song Yao couldn't sneak away, and was carried back by the collar, she didn't feel ashamed, she just stood there politely, pretending to be listening.

Wei Wuxian said: "It's not good for you to be like this, it's very bad, it's fine if you say you're playing tricks on me, if this happens in front of you Zewu-jun, it's very scary for you Zewu-jun to get angry! "

Song Yao tilted her head, and asked curiously, "Have you been punished by Lord Zewu?"

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "How is it possible? When I was studying in Yunshen, I didn't even know you Hanguang-jun dared to hit me."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and muttered in a low voice, "Lan Zhan is indeed cuter when he was a child, and he can't help but blush when he touches her..."

Song Yao listened with a smile, then suddenly looked behind Wei Wuxian, and asked in surprise, "Hanguang-jun?"

Wei Wuxian said: "Hahahahahahahahaha, don't say good things twice! You think I will still believe..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, turned his head suddenly, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Lan Wangji was standing less than a foot behind him, looking at him with mixed emotions.

Wei Wuxian smiled awkwardly, "That... Lan Zhan, when did you come?"

Lan Wangji said blankly, "When you started bragging about your glorious deeds."

Wei Wuxian: "..."

Just like Wei Wuxian was carrying Song Yao just now, Wei Wuxian was carried away by Lan Wangji.

Lan Xichen witnessed the whole process from the side, and after the two left, he walked up to Song Yao's side, and helplessly tapped his forehead, saying, "Nonsense."

Even so, his eyes were full of deep smiles, even without any majesty.

Song Yao thought of Wei Wuxian's boastful appearance just now, and seeing Lan Xichen's temperless appearance, couldn't help laughing.

Lan Xichen shook his head, then lightly dismissed the matter, and asked, "Did you go around?"

Song Yao said: "No, I just ran into Mr. Wei when I was about to go out."

There was a gloomy look on his face, he had completely lost the cunning look he had shown in front of Wei Wuxian just now, and it was rare to show a bit of childishness.

In the previous life, Jin Guangyao had never shown such an expression in front of Lan Xichen. In this life, Song Yao was also precocious because of his background, so that Lan Xichen often forgot that he was still only 14 years old.

Because of this, once Song Yao showed such an expression, Lan Xichen couldn't help but soften his heart. He smiled and rubbed Song Yao's head, and said, "It's nothing, since that's the case, I'll take you around."

Song Yao's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.

The cold room was surrounded by silence, except for the distant chimes of bells, only Lan Xichen's low voice was left.

Different from Zhaocheng’s silver-clad plains, Yunshen’s unknown place seems to be completely unaffected by the seasons. The fragrant flowers and orchids are still there, and the beautiful scenery is like a fairyland.

While leading Song Yao forward, Lan Xichen gave him a detailed explanation in a soft voice, and before he knew it, he walked to an open space.

There are no flowers and plants around this open space, and it is very empty. Compared with the previous beautiful scenery, it is particularly abrupt.

Lan Xichen said, "This is where I usually practice my sword."

When it came to practicing swords, Song Yao's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Lan Xichen, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Zewu-jun, can I see your sword?"

He still remembered that day when he was surrounded by a group of teenagers and beat him up, when he was desperate and helpless, it was Lan Xichen who held the sword and blocked the pain from the combined punches and kicks for him.

But he didn't know that it was this sword that pierced his chest in the last life, bringing him the pain of death.

Lan Xichen froze for a moment, then untied Shuoyue from his waist and handed it to Song Yao, but the palm of the hand holding the sword was already wet with sweat.

Lan Xichen's sword was white all over, only the scabbard was engraved with light-colored dark patterns, it wasn't really gorgeous, but the sword was shining brightly, like the moonlight flowing in the nine heavens, which perfectly complemented its name.

Song Yao was holding Lan Xichen's sword, and could hardly put it down, but he didn't know the pain in Lan Xichen's heart.

Because of ignorance, there is no worry.

Lan Xichen wished that he could be so carefree for the rest of his life.

Ever since that day at Guanyin Temple, Lan Xichen didn't dare to touch Shuoyue again for a long time.

Every time he draws out the sword, he seems to be able to see the scene when it penetrates the astonished Jin Guangyao's chest.

The sword edge seemed to be stained with Jin Guangyao's warm blood, reminding him how easily he killed his third brother.

So he didn't want to touch Shuoyue again, and only cracked the ice when he went out to hunt at night, until he was injured in a night hunt and was severely reprimanded by his uncle, so he stopped insisting.

He is the suzerain of the Lan family, the Zewu Lord loved by the world, and the reliance of all the disciples of Yun Shen.

Using forbidden techniques to help Jin Guangyao reincarnate is a big taboo, no matter how selfish or willful he is.

"Zewu-jun?"

Lan Xichen suddenly came back to his senses, facing Song Yao's bewildered eyes.

He slowed down a little, suppressed the surging pain in his heart, smiled at Song Yao, and said, "Come back with me, I have something for you."

He took Song Yao back to the cold room, took out a sword from the inside, and handed it to Song Yao.

This sword is not much inferior to Shuoyue, it can be seen that it is absolutely extraordinary.

As soon as the handle of the sword was in his hands, Song Yao felt a sense of familiarity suddenly rise in his heart. Without even thinking about it, he drew the sword out of its sheath and danced a beautiful sword flower.

It was extremely convenient, as if he had held this sword and swung it countless times before.

But Song Yao can't dance sword at all.

He felt a little joy in his heart, looked at Lan Xichen with bright eyes, and asked, "Does this sword have a name?"

Lan Xichen was silent for a while, then said, "Hate life."
