Destiny

Chapter - 33

Jiang Cheng was again in Gusu to talk about some matter with Lan Xichen. He had just come out after meeting with Lan Xichen.

When he was walking he saw Wen Qing. She was wearing cyan robes and talking with some junior female disciples. When the disciples went away. Jiang approached her.

" Lady Wen " Jiang Cheng said.

" Sect leader Jiang " Wen Qing said bowing.

" How are you doing, lady Wen ? ".

" I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, sect leader." Wen Qing said sincerely.

Jiang Cheng clenched his first seeing the formal attitude of other. He liked Wen Qing since their classes in Gusu but then what Wen clan did, he didn't think about it. Anyway what right did he have ? He was also one of cultivators who were against the ordinary wens . But now everything had changed but still....

" If there is not anything else , sect leader. I request my leave . I have to go down the mountain for checking few patients." Wen Qing said bowing.

Jiang Cheng hummed and Wen Qing left.

Jiang Cheng just stare at the retreating figure.

In Wuyi mountain, Zhao Yi Ran and others were learning few things from immortal Lu.

Now the boys were resting in pavillion.

" Yi Ran, how did you do the attack with woods from the ground ? " Lan Jingyi asked.

" Ah , it's a secret technique. I can't explain." Zhao Yi Ran said rubbing his nape nervously.

" Oh !  "Lan Jingyi said.

" Can you do that again ? " Lan Jingyi said.

" Yeah , sure." Zhao Yi Ran said.

He put his one hand in ground and few thin and sharp wooden arrows come out from ground like thrones.

" Wow ! It's amazing." Lan Jingyi said.

" It's nothing." Zhao Yi Ran said laughing awkwardly.

" You can show us but can't explain, So much of secret." Jin ling said clicking his tongue in annoyance.

" I can't tell my clan's secret. What's wrong with that ? Why don't you tell me something that no one knows and I'll tell you mine ? " Zhao Yi Ran retorted.

" We have no secrets." Jin ling said irritably.

Zhao Yi Ran rolled his eyes.

Jin Ling gritted his teeth.

" Little peacock Jin, don't run your mouth. " Lan Jingyi said.

" You ! Jingyi ! Are you taking his side ? You don't even know about him anything. What if his secret will cause another problem ? Whatever he do is different from us." Jin Ling said angrily.

Zhao Yi Ran smile faded a little.

" Hey, hey stop fighting . " Zhao Yi Ran said.

" Ah ! I forgot that I have to take medicine otherwise immortal Lu gonna call my master. I'll go. You guys don't quarrel." Zhao Yi Ran said smiling and run away from there.

" You little peacock ! Just reflect on your words  ! " Jingyi said hissing in rage.

" You are still ...."

" Jin Rulan ! Lan Jingyi ! " Lan Shizui said in firm icy voice.

They both become silent.

" Hanguang Jun and Senior Wei trust him. He is like us." Lan Shizui said giving glares to both of them.

" Yes, if they don't trust him then they will never left us here." Lan Jingyi said.

" Jin Rulan, what's wrong with you ? " Shizui asked.

" Nothing " Jin ling said looking in other direction.

Lan Shizui sighed and turned to leave.

Zhao Yi Ran really went to take medicine and after that he walked towards the garden which he showed to Shizui.

He smiled to see the blooming flowers. He started to plant few flower plants more. He sat on ground, ruining his robes with soil. He looked at the new saplings he planted. He caressed the leaves of one sapling.

" You have to grow up like them ." Zhao Yi Ran said softly to the small plant in front of him.

" What are you doing here , yuan ? " Zhao Yi Ran said without looking behind.

" Taking a walk " Shizui said.

" Come here, I add new members in this small garden." Zhao Yi Ran said.

Lan Shizui came and stood beside Yi Ran.

" Look,  they will bloom too like others." Zhao Yi Ran said pointing at the plants in front of him.

" Mn "

" I asked from immortal Lu, he hasn't get any news of outside world. I was thinking of sneaking from here." Zhao Yi Ran said.

" You aren't allowed."

Zhao Yi Ran looked up in amusement.

" Why so ? "

" Hanguang Jun and Senior Wei told us to wait here."

" That was for three of you ."

" That was for you too."

Zhao Yi Ran started at Shizui's face before averting his eyes.

" Don't be hurt by Jin Rulan's word. He is just like that." Lan Shizui said.

" Are you cheering me up ? " Zhao Yi Ran said grinning.

Lan Shizui averted his eyes from him.

" I'm not sad about that. I know he means no harm." Zhao Yi Ran said again focusing on the plant.

" Yuan, do you have candies ? Mine are all finished." Zhao Yi Ran said suddenly.

" I don't have. "

" Ah ! I should have bought more . " Zhao Yi Ran said lamenting.

Lan Shizui's lips twitch slightly.

" Yuan, for my farewell gift , give me lots of candies, ok ? "Zhao Yi Ran said looking up.

" Ok"

" Wow ! You are being so generous to me."

Lan Shizui didn't spoke. He fixed his eyes on the newly planted flowers.
