Destiny

Chapter - 40

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were in same room. They were lying on different beds.

" Lan Zhan , did you know from the first day that Yi Ran is a dragon ? "

" Mn "

" That's why you protected him ? "

" Mn "

" How do you know ? "

" I can sense his spritual energy."

" What about he being a child ? " Wei Wuxian asked.

" Mn "

" You are really awesome ,Lan Zhan ! " Wei Wuxian said .

Lan Wangji smiled slightly.

" Lan Zhan , can't you change like Yi Ran ? " Wei Wuxian asked. He remembers how happy Yi Ran was.

" I can't." Lan Wangji answered looking at the ceiling.

" Why ? " Wei Wuxian asked surprised.

" Just can't." Lan Wangji said.

" Is it because your father was a normal cultivator ? " Wei Wuxian said thinking about the reason.

" Mn "

" Lan Zhan, you lived here do you remember few places ?"

" No " Lan Wangji straight forwardly replied.

Wei Wuxian was staring all this while on Lan Wangji's side profile. Lan Wangji's face was expressionless but for the first time Wei Wuxian was afraid to look behind that stoic face.

Next morning, Wei Wuxian when come out to go with Er Ming , he saw Lan Wangji at a little distance. He approached him and saw Lan Wangji holding a white strip , three fingers wide and his forehead ribbon. Wei Wuxian then noticed Lan Wangji's forehead was bare. Lan Wangji never took off when he was in open .

" what are you doing with your ribbon ? " Wei Wuxian asked.

Lan Wangji glanced at Wei Wuxian and turned to his forehead ribbon. Gusu lan sect Forehead ribbon symbolise restrictions of emotions and desires, can only be touched or taken off by significant ones , parents and siblings. Lan Wangji always respected the sect rules and this ribbon, not because he was told to but he understood the meaning behind them more than anyone else. But now he was confronting within himself.

" Lan Zhan ? " Wei Wuxian asked.

" Mn "

" What are you thinking ? " Wei Wuxian asked softly.

Lan Wangji shook his head.

And the next moment Wei Wuxian gasped in surprise.

Lan Wangji put the ribbon in Qinkuan pouch and blindfolded himself with white strip.

Wherever he go he was bounded by restrictions, that's his destiny.

" Wang , Master Wei, what you two are ..." Er Ming could not finish when he saw Lan Wangji turning to him.

" Wang....." Er Ming whispered.

Then suddenly he hissed in anger and said," let's get over it quickly."

Er Ming turned like he couldn't see the scene in front of him anymore.

" Lan Zhan , you...." Wei Wuxian was too stunned to say anything.

" Wei Ying, it's fine. I can sense my surroundings." Lan Wangji said calmly.

" But why ? " Wei Wuxian asked with confusion and heartache.
