Destiny

Chapter - 13

The trio arrived the village near Huli mountain . The village was small but beautiful. The trio was walking in the streets.

" Let's go to eat." Wei Wuxian said.

"Mn."

" Huh ? Aren't we going to investigate ?" Zhao Yi Ran was confused.

" Let's go Zhao gongzi. Food is the top most priority."

Wei Wuxian turned to a resturant. Lan Wangji followed Wei Wuxian. Zhao Yi Ran had no choice so he also walked behind them.

Wei Wuxian chose a restaurant where people were coming and going frequently. He entered while smiling.

He then sat on table and Lan Wangji sat beside him. Zhao Yi Ran sat opposite to them.The waiter came and asked about their order. Wei Wuxian and Zhao Yi Ran ordered food.

When the waiter left , Wei Wuxian smiled to Zhao Yi Ran who was still confused.

" Hey , it's been a month since the young cultivator died."

Few men were talking on the other table.

" Yes . His family has questioned sect leader but I hear that they said that it happened during a night hunt and they don't know much about it."

" I heard that the cultivator wasn't much skilled . "

" Then they should not take him."

" But it's their duty."

Zhao Yi Ran now understood why Wei Wuxian was here. He was about to speak when waiter came with food and wine.

" Gongzis, aren't from some nearby place ? " The waiter said putting food and wine on table.

" Yes , yes , we are from Gusu ." Wei Wuxian answered smiling.

" Oh , I heard that it's such a beautiful place." The waiter praised.

" You are right, brother." Wei Wuxian said while eyeing lan Wangji who was looking downward with his icy face.

" But I hear that the two jades of Gusu are incomparable in beauty and talent."

Wei Wuxian laughed while Zhao Yi Ran smiled staring at Lan Wangji who wasn't looking any of them.

" Brother, you know a lot of things. You are quite knowledgeable." Wei Wuxian praised.

The Waiter rubbed his nape , embarrassed.

" Brother, I hear that an unfortunate incident occur in this village." Wei Wuxian said.

" Yes , gongzi. It's pity that a young cultivator died before reaching at peak. " The waiter seemed to be more remorseful than those people who was talking earlier.

" Can you elaborate ?  I am very interested in mysteries as I like writing stories." Wei Wuxian said.

Lan Wangji glanced at Wei Wuxian and slightly shook his head.

" Yes , gongzi . It's not a big secret. Everyone knows. The man name was Wu Peng , was a disciple of Wu sect. He had joined the sect at around 5 years ago. As you can see our village is not big so people knew each other. I have also came in contact with him a few times. To me, he didn't seem to be weak but alas ! who would have thought that he would die in last night hunt. It seems that Lord Jiuweihu has taken back his blessings from Wu sect."

Hearing the last sentence Zhao Yi Ran bursted into laugh. As everyone's gaze turned to him. He covered his mouth but his eyes had already watery. Wei Wuxian gave him a confusing look and lan Wangji stared at him with frost eyes. When Zhao Yi Ran meet with those eyes, he became straight and put down his hand and sat like an obedient kid.
