Now that everything is in place, the east wind will surely blow!
Having successfully persuaded Lan Wenjing and the others, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan disregarded the late hour and, after explaining in detail their plans for the cooperation of Lan Wenjing and the others, they replenished a large amount of supplies in Nightless City under Wen Zhibai's arrangement.
Then, after solemnly bidding farewell to everyone, the two of them unhesitatingly activated the teleportation portal. Amidst the worried yet proud and hopeful gazes of the crowd, they stepped into the portal and left Nightless City in the blink of an eye.
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were no longer there. After a moment of silence, Wen Ruohan put his hands on his hips and shooed everyone away, saying, "Alright, stop looking. Go back to your rooms! It's almost night. Get some rest. We have so much to do tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, the Wen Clan's Supreme Elder, who had long wanted to flee, excitedly clapped his hands together and agreed with beaming eyes: "Heh, Ruohan, you've finally been reliable for once! You know your great-uncle's old bones are about to fall apart! Well then, this old man won't stand on ceremony and will take his leave first..."
Before the words were even finished, the person was already as agile as a cheetah sprinting through the night. In the blink of an eye, the person was out of Yun Chuan Residence. After a few more flashes, leaving behind a few afterimages, the person disappeared from the astonished and shocked sight of the crowd.
Wen Ruohan: "..."
What to do? With his great-uncle's extraordinary "cooperation," what should he say to seamlessly connect the following "plot"?
Wen Ruohan, with his hands casually clasped on his hips, didn't know whether to keep them there or take them back. Although his handsome face showed no abnormality thanks to his strong self-control, the slightly downturned lips revealed that he was not in a very good mood at the moment.
Before Wen Ruohan could react, Wen Zhiji, who was sitting opposite the Supreme Elder, stood up politely, raised his hand in a salute, and said in an exceptionally "upright" manner that he would "obey the Sect Master's orders." Then, he gracefully and quickly left.
Wen Ruohan: -_-!
Wen Zhibai, who stood a step behind him with his hands clasped, quickly lowered his head, trying to hide and downplay his presence. All three of them were powerful figures, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them!
Wen Ruohan squinted and stared intently at Nie Changfeng, who was grinning broadly. She then glanced irritably at the others who were smiling on the outside but secretly laughing on the inside. With her chin raised, she swept her sleeves and strode away.
Wen Zhibai, who had been standing quietly to the side as if he were invisible, also wisely kept quiet and followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Nie Changfeng, who was still laughing, patted the large sword on his back and turned his head to smile, "Brother Wenjing, Sect Leader Lin, I'll be leaving now! I wonder if Xichen and Wangji will come to Nightless City? I've decided to send a message to the clan elders tomorrow at dawn to bring Mingjue and Huaisang over. With the winds of change blowing in the future, this will be a great opportunity for them to gain experience!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Wenjing smiled and nodded in return: "Brother Changfeng, please wait a moment. I already sent a message to Qiren at noon, and after the morning classes at 7 AM tomorrow, I will have someone bring Xichen over. As for Wangji, he will stay at Cloud Recesses with Qiren. After all, Wangji will be the new head of the Punishment Hall!"
"As for training, Yu Wangji need not rush it; he can take turns with Xichen!"
Nie Changfeng did not comment on this, but nodded and left.
Lan Wenjing, who remained behind, lowered his eyes, and with a hint of deliberate caution, softly called out, "Sect Leader Lin... Sect Leader Lin..."
Lin Yingsu reached out and smoothed a stray strand of black hair behind her ear, smiled gently with lowered eyes, and raised her hand in greeting: "Then, Sect Leader Lan, I will also be leaving now. Good night!"
Long after Lin Yingsu's graceful figure had disappeared, Lan Wenjing, who had been bowing his head in silence, finally sighed almost imperceptibly, "Goodnight, Lin, Sect Leader! With me here, A Zhan and the others will not fail!"
At that moment, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, who had instantly transformed their space by crossing the portal and arrived at the Wei residence in Yiling, held their breath and tiptoed to the window outside Wei Chaoyan's room.
He lightly tapped the communicator beside him, alerting Qi Ye and Qing Yan, who were keeping watch over Wei Chaoyan in shifts under a dim light, to their arrival.
It just so happened that it was Qiye's turn to be on duty at this time. Upon receiving the communication, he opened the wooden door for the two of them silently, like a cat, and stepped aside to let them into the house.
By the dim, flickering candlelight, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan silently and carefully observed Wei Chaoyan, who was fast asleep on the bed.
Seeing her delicate eyebrows furrowing even in her sleep, and her pale face still showing signs of pain, Wei Ying subconsciously clenched his fists.
Lan Zhan gently brushed aside Wei Ying's tightly clenched fingers, his movements soft and gentle as water as he rubbed the engorged fingertips. Then, he lifted his robe and sat sideways in front of the bed, placing his fingers on Wei Chaoyan's wrist, which was resting on the embroidered quilt, and began to take his pulse with focused concentration.
Seeing that Lan Zhan was busy, Wei Ying peeked out and waved to Qi Ye on his right rear. The two of them, one in front of the other, crouched down and slipped through the snow without leaving a trace, quickly reaching a spot three zhang away from the door.
Wei Ying frowned: "Qi Ye, how has my sister been these past two days?"
Qi Ye felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but forced a smile and replied nonchalantly, "It's alright, nothing too bad. Second Brother, the reinforcement of the formation you made is quite effective!"
Wei Ying's eyes drooped with a "snap," but quickly lifted again, revealing his usual bright smile: "Qi Ye, I've found a way to save my sister. If all goes well, our revolution, which we've been planning for so many years, will finally achieve its ultimate victory!"
Qi Ye, who had been in constant contact with Wei Ying and his companion, was fully aware of their progress. Yet, even at this moment when victory seemed within reach, he was suddenly overcome with a dreamlike sense of unease. "Second Brother, can we... succeed?"
Wei Ying's smile froze. He stared intently at Qi Ye's dark eyes, which flickered with uncertainty, and spoke with unwavering conviction, as firm as a rock, "When I was undergoing my Golden Core tribulation, 001 fought against the Heavenly Dao to protect me and Lan Zhan. Although it has been forced into slumber ever since, and most of A-jie's livestreaming room is also damaged, it still severely injured the Heavenly Dao!"
"This period is when the Heavenly Dao is at its weakest. If we cannot succeed in overcoming Heaven's will and reshaping the world under such a favorable opportunity, then what are we striving for to defy the heavens and seek immortality? We might as well lie down and live in accordance with the will of Heaven and destiny!"
Qi Ye clutched the hem of his clothes, a bitter vulnerability flashing in his eyes: "Second Brother, even with all the preparations we've made, I still feel anxious and uneasy at this crucial moment! After all, if we fail to succeed in one fell swoop, the consequences will be something that I, you, and they can never accept!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ying silently and solemnly patted Qi Ye's equally thin and tender shoulder, giving him boundless confidence. Then, he changed the patting to an embrace, putting his arm around most of Qi Ye's shoulder as they walked into the dimly lit room.
As they walked, she whispered, "Seven Nights, you and Qingyan have had a tough time these past few days! Keep up the good work, and things will get better soon. Then, we'll take our recovered sister to travel to the Blue Sea at dawn and the Cangwu Mountain at dusk, and enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers throughout the four seasons!"
Qi Ye lowered her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes and said reluctantly, "Second Brother, won't you stay a little longer with Second Brother Lan? Why don't you wait until Sister wakes up tomorrow morning, talk to her, and then you can leave?"
Looking at Wei Chaoyan so close to him, Wei Ying shook his head without saying a word. He decisively released Qi Ye from his arms, opened his hand to grasp Lan Zhan, who was getting up and walking towards him, and with his other hand, he made a familiar sweeping motion in the air, and a familiar door appeared out of thin air.
"Qi Ye, Qingyan." Wei Ying nodded to Qingyan, who had woken up on the small couch in the outer room, and solemnly said, "Take good care of your sister. Lan Zhan and I will be right back!"
After saying that, he grabbed Lan Zhan's hand and walked into the room without looking back.
Qi Ye and Qing Yan watched the teleportation portal disappear rapidly in the sky and whispered, "Second Brother, Second Brother Lan, be careful, we'll be waiting for your triumphant return!"
