Chapter 245: Trip to Yiling
Chapter 245: Trip to Yiling
Wei Wuxian and his companions left the Impure World the next day. The sunlight shone upon them, casting a golden glow over their journey.
On the way, Wei Wuxian said excitedly, "Brother Meng Yao, we haven't been back to Yiling for a long time. Why don't we go to Yiling together and visit our home this time?"
Meng Yao nodded, a hint of warmth in his eyes, and said, "Okay!" Then he turned to Lan Xichen and said, "Xichen, let's go together!"
Lan Xichen smiled and responded, "Okay, let's go back and see Mother together!"
At this time, Xiao Xingchen said, "Wuxian, Ayang and I will not be going back with you this time."
Xue Yang asked doubtfully, "Why don't we go back together? Where should we go then?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Xingchen, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Xiao Xingchen said, "I'll take Ah Yang back to the mountains to find the master."
Wei WuXian asked doubtfully, "Didn't Master Bao Shan say that disciples who leave the mountain can't return?"
Xiao Xingchen lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master actually gave me a jade pendant when I left the mountain. He also told me that if I could find my sisters and they weren't doing well, I could bring them back."
Wei WuXian nodded and said in understanding, "Alright then. Be careful on your journey!"
After Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang said goodbye to everyone, they set out on their journey back to the mountain.
Wei Wuxian took Lan Wangji, and Meng Yao took Lan Xichen, and they all walked towards Yiling.
Along the way, Wei Wuxian was in an exceptionally cheerful mood. He kept telling Lan Wangji about all sorts of interesting things about Yiling, while Lan Wangji listened quietly, occasionally responding with a word or two, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Meng Yao and Lan Xichen walked behind, the atmosphere between them also very warm. Meng Yao whispered to Lan Xichen about some of her experiences in Yiling, and Lan Xichen listened very attentively, smiling from time to time.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived in Yiling. They arrived at the gate of the Wei family. The gatekeeper saw them and quickly saluted, saying, "Young Master, Son-in-law, Lord Zewu, and Senior Brother. You're all back!"
Wei Wuxian still couldn't get used to people calling Lan Wangji "son-in-law," so he grabbed Lan Wangji's hand and quickly ran in. Meng Yao and Lan Xichen followed behind.
After entering the door, Wei Wuxian looked around excitedly. Everything was still the same as he remembered, the familiar courtyard and the familiar pavilion.
When Zangse heard the noise, he hurried out to check. When he saw his son return, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Axian, and Wangji, come here quickly so mother can take a good look at you." Cangse smiled and waved.
Wei Wuxian took Lan Wangji's hand and walked forward, saying a little embarrassedly, "Mother, we're back."
Lan Wangji bowed and said, “Wangji greets mother!”
Meng Yao and Lan Xichen also came forward to greet him.
At this time, Wei Wuxian remembered something and turned to Lan Wangji and said, "Lan Zhan, I will take you to see the bamboo forest in the back mountain that I loved most when I was a child." Lan Wangji nodded.
The two of them arrived at a bamboo forest, where a gentle breeze rustled the leaves. Wei Wuxian ran around like a child, while Lan Wangji looked at him lovingly.
Suddenly, Wei Wuxian slipped, and Lan Wangji quickly reached out and put his arm around his waist. Their eyes met, and affection flowed.
Elsewhere, Meng Yao and Lan Xichen arrived at Meng Shi's residence. Seeing Meng Shi, Meng Yao and Lan Xichen saluted and said, "Mother!"
Meng Shi pulled the two of them to sit down and asked, "Why are you two back today?"
Meng Yao smiled and said, "Mother, we returned today with Wuxian and Wangji."
Meng Shi chatted with Meng Yao for a while and asked about some things that happened after their marriage.
Lan Xichen said, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of A-Yao."
Meng Shi smiled and said, "Xichen, I know you trust A Yao."
After the three of them chatted for a while, Meng Yao accompanied Lan Xichen for a stroll in the garden. Meng Yao talked about the difficult but unforgettable times in the past, and Lan Xichen held his hand to comfort him.
At this time, the servant came to report that the food was ready, so they went to the restaurant to eat together.
When they arrived, Wei Changze and Zangse were already waiting. Wei Changze said, "Come over quickly for dinner. We're waiting for you."
The table was filled with Yiling's local specialties. Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he eagerly picked up a piece to taste. He mumbled, "Hmm, it still tastes familiar."
Lan Wangji gently handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe the corners of his mouth.
Meng Yao carefully poured Lan Xichen a bowl of soup and said softly, "This soup is very nourishing."
The three elders also laughed when they saw how happy they were.
Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen were still on their way back to the mountain.
